We love us some Mary Lynn Rajskub. To the point of rushed-to-the-hospital exhaustion, really. If you know her work, you see that it's hard not to. Popular from her role as CTU techie geek Chloe O'Brien on 24, Rajskub is also known for playing one of Adam Sandler's sisters in Punch Drunk Love and part of the indie elite ensemble in The Anniversary Party. But we love her best from our initial introduction to......

Bush Man Scares People - Watch more free videos Sure, he's old news, but his comedy is timeless. That's right, timeless. As much as we love The Office and 30 Rock, nothing pleases us more than the AFV-ish antics of people either falling on their asses or having the crap scared out of them. Do take a moment to enjoy the latter. (And people even pay him for it! Brilliant.)......

Before last night's much more important Zombie Attack, there was some sort of mayoral debate at some bookish building. A debate consisting of Mayor Gavin Newsom, possible contender Quintin Mecke, and slew of other candidates who, more or less, sold their remaining integrity and ethics for a shot at "local personality" status. Well, congrats: you're all winners, then. And seeing how there was a particularly good Inside Edition on last night, and 30 Rock......

-- Emmy-winner Al Gore might also win the Nobel Peace Prize. Weren't Bono and Princess Diana supposed to win that at some point, too? (You know, before she...vroom.) [Wired News] -- Bay Area Reporter endorses Newsom. Shocking. [BAR] -- Double shooting in East Oakland. [CBS5] -- 16-year-old Angel Carrion busted out of juvenile detention center. Because he's bad. Real bad. And probably dating your daughter. [Examiner] -- Infant cold sniffle medicine yanked off store......

We've mentioned before that the only "Law & Order" we watch is "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," and the main reason for that is our imaginary boyfriend Vincent D'Onofrio is on it. So you can imagine we were a little worried when the fate of the show was up in the air at the end of last season. It had something to do with the franchise not pulling in the numbers it used to,......

We watched the Emmy Awards last night (for what it's worth: yay, 30 Rock!), and the award shows fellating Al Gore continues, this time for Current TV, which won for Best Interactive Programming or Best iWorld Wide Web Doing God's Work or something inane like that. Also: really? Why? Aside from having sweet Mission Bay offices -- with self-consciously placed arcade games in their front windows -- Current TV takes itself way too seriously......

I was going to compile a top ten list for the year, but then I remembered I hate end-of-the-year top tens. Or should I say, I hate writing them. My memory ain't what it used to be, and I can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday, let alone a TV show I watched back in February that I liked enough to write about again. Also, I'm really, really lazy. So, much like I......

If you've been as disappointed with "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" as we have, then you might be approaching the similarly-themed sitcom "30 Rock," which premieres tonight at 8 p.m. on NBC, with a bit of trepidation. If a so-called "master" like Aaron Sorkin can't write a compelling show about the backstage antics of a late night comedy program, how could a mere "SNL" alum like Tina Fey do any better? Well, we're......

Fall premiere week has officially begun and our TiVos are practically shivering in anticipation. (That would explain the fairly regular stop-and-start recordings we've been getting recently. Perhaps we should invest in one of those dual-tuner jobies? Sweet!) Tonight's riiily big shew is, apparently, "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip," the first of two NBC shows loosely based on the backstage antics of a late night comedy show suspiciously like "Saturday Night Live." (This one's......
