Tonight's premieres are all on the CW, starting with "Everybody Hates Chris" at 8 p.m. Chris Rock himself will be making his first on-screen appearance on the show about his childhood, guest starring as a guidance counselor at his middle school. Which is to say, he will be starring as his own guidance counselor. Uh...we think. Following "Chris" at 8:30 is the new series "Aliens In America" a comedy centered on a loser high......

We vowed we wouldn't do it, but since we're obsessively hitting refresh on our browser every five minutes anyways, we might as well! We may take off in a bit to hit some of these election parties we've been hearing about, but here's where we are for now. Updates on top, like a mini-blog. 12:10 a.m.: Okay, we're calling it quits for today. The stats are: Daly at 49.66% with 5,471 votes and Black at......

Since we've been doing a bunch of postings about our super-exciting congressional race, we'd love to come up with some clever title along the lines of "Everybody Hates Chris" but we are coming up with nothing. Sorry-- we're a little jet-lagged these days. Needless to say, we do have some Pelosi & Pals news today as the Washington Post has a big feature on some anti-lobbying bill she's been working on for awhile that could see the light of day if she does become Madame Speaker. Lots of bans on travel and gifts are involved and we'll see what happens the moment she does become Madame Speaker. Our guess is that it'll pass with loopholes a' plenty....

We're not calling this an "Everybody Hates Chris" post only because we're starting to think there are too many posts on the SFist front page that bear that title. This week's episode: Everybody Hates Critical Mass. Flickr user and bike rider DainaBeth sends along her picture of Chris Daly at last week's Halloween Critical Mass ride. Here's the caption to her picture: I actually wasn't sure at first if this was my supervisor Chris......

We figure if we get called anti-Daly by the pro-Dalys, and pro-Daly by the antis, we're probably doing something right -- in the District 6 election! This week's episode: Everybody Hates Question Time -- and not just Proposition I either. See? As promised, if you anti-Dalys send us entertaining pictures or anecdotes, we're happy to run them -- and not just as a caption contest either! ("...and can you believe it? This one's over 21!")......

SFist Rita has been going on and on about the District 6 City Life Supervisor Candidate Forum, or, as we refer to it at SFist HQ, "Everybody Hates Chris: Special Debate Edition!" See District 6 candidates Rob Black, Chris Daly, Matt Drake, George Dias and Robert Jordan (sadly, neither George nor Robert agreed to interview requests from SFist, so no links for you!) answer to The Usual Suspects' Jaime Rossi, as he poses quality-of-life questions......

We're back from vacation -- and it's hard to get caught up on two weeks of news! Why didn't anyone tell us San Jose mayor Ron Gonzales got indicted? Over a garbage-services contract, no less. Mr. Gonzales, really -- if you're going to collaborate with the teamsters, can't you pick a less obvious type of city contract to collaborate over? We're also impressed that the latest article gratuitously mentions that Gonzales is in an ugly divorce after allegations of an extramarital affair arose. How did it become that the SJ mayor is now more lurid than SF's? Back in SF, Everybody Hates Chris District 6 candidate Rob Black finally launched his website. It reveals that in his youth, he used to organize reggae concerts. Get up, stand up. Don't give up the fight! On a similar note, M&R reluctantly reveal that there was probably no impropriety in Chris Daly's former roommate getting a job as a housing inspector, despite their valiant efforts to find some. And finally, the SF Party Party is thrilled to announce that someone (besides exotic male dancer Starchild) is going to run against Bevan Dufty for the District 8 seat. We here at the 'Fist have been asked to start up a District 8 election watch column too (if only to have an excuse to interview Starchild), but we're not doing it until someone suggests a fun name for the column. Go to it in the comments, folks! If we get a name we like, we'll totally launch it up. ...

It's a melancholy Everybody Hates Chris column about the District 6 election: this week's episode -- Everybody Hates Death. We were sorry to read in the paper that one of the candidates that we didn't get in touch with, James Leo Dunn, passed away last month of a stomach aneurysm. Dunn ran for District 6 in 2000 on the platform that the city build a tunnel underneath Taylor Street in Nob Hill to house the......

This week in Everybody Hates Chris: Everybody Hates A Blogger. Alas, District 6 aficionados, Jordanna Thigpen will not be running for Daly's seat either. Instead, she's running for the DCCCCCCCCCCCCC (sorry, we always forget how many Cs that has) instead. Thanks for playing, Jordanna! So who else is up? Well, according to the Sentinel, the following people have announced their intent to run in District 6: Nadia Cabezas, Matthew Drake, Rodney Hauge, Manuel Jimenez, Bobby Jordan, Andrew Rucker, and William Stewart. Of these candidates, the Wall noted that one has a blog! He's the one whose name is a hyperlink! Guess who we're profiling next! Welcome, Manuel Jimenez! He's a former bike messenger, a former Marine, and an attorney for the State Bar of California. Watch out, Chris, looks like he also has a cute son! Jimenez is running as the "Quality of Life Supervisor," as outlined in his policy papers. You know we've got a short attention span, so we're skimming here, but it looks like be nicer to the SFPD and move Board of Supes meetings to 5 p.m. Any position on impeaching Bush, Mr. Jimenez? Also, Jimenez provides links to a children's book he's penned ("Timo's Tough Trek To School"), some supportive comments from his mom ("I'm thrilled you're running for office!"), his drawings, and excerpts from his novel. You can also check out his campaign blog (where he comes out against Daly's homicide task force plan) and his personal blog too. Wow, that's a lot of websites. We see a Bay Blogger Thursday profile in your future, Mr. Jimenez! Picture of Manuel Jimenez from his websites...

It's the name of a TV show, people! Our new District 6 election column. This week on Everybody Hates Chris -- Everyone Hates An Open Field. Matier and Ross report today that the dreams of the District 6 Anyone But Daly crowd were dashed as Christine Pelosi debunked the rumor first announced in Beyond Chron and announced that she will not be running for Daly's seat on the Board of Supes. (For some reason, she's listed as "Christina" Pelosi in the M&R column but it looks like her name is actually "Christine." Maybe name recognition was going to be a problem for her in the race.) Christine Pelosi, whose mother you may have heard of, is a former San Francisco deputy DA who is now a member of the DNC and the chair of the Platform Committee for the California Democratic Party. In her day job, Christine serves as Chief of Staff to Congressman John Tierney (D-Mass.) (who her mother then appointed to the Intelligence committee) and used to date (scroll down) now 63-year-old Texas Democratic congressman Max Sandlin (during which time her mother appointed him to the Ways and Means committee). Sandlin lost his bid for reelection last year (and is now dating a representative from South Dakota. What a player!) It sounds like all the rumors might have been started because the younger Ms. Pelosi just moved into SoMA, by the ballpark. Christine says, "I moved South of Market not to run for district supervisor but to be close to the ballyard where I can enjoy my beloved Giants, mindful that the last time Giants won the World Series, the Democrats won back the U.S. House and Senate." Isn't anyone going to run against Daly? What about you, District 6 resident Al Gore? Picture of Christina Pelosi (at left) with mom from Washington Life, from the 2000 Italian-American Foundation Gala...

It's Christmas, and you know what that means. It's time for masked serial slashers to reveal their true identities! The two-hour season finale of "Nip/Tuck" airs tonight at 10 p.m. and we have to admit, we're a little surprised that the season is already over. We suppose this is what you get when a network doesn't pad its seasons with repeat after repeat. (Not that we're complaining. We LOVE it when we get to......

In Monday's TV post, we did not mention that the season premiere of "Alias" is this week. Tonight in fact. And we didn't mention it because we almost forgot about it. And we almost forgot about it because the show has been moved from its comfy post-"Lost" slot to a new night, a night crowded with tons of other shows. And you know what? We're kind of pissed about that. We've had a hard......

Thursday is going to be very tough night for us this season. Before the month is over, there will be nine shows vying for our primetime eyeballs including, "Alias," "The OC," "The Nightstalker," "Survivor: Guatemala," "The Apprentice 4," "CSI," "ER," "Reunion,"and "Everybody Hates Chris." Phew! Let us catch our breath.... The thing is, our TiVos and VCRs can only do so much, and we haven't mastered the art of watching one show while also......
