Three square meals a day is finished. Heartiness plunged to its death from the Golden Gate Bridge. The entree, sadly, is dead. At least according Kim Severson of the New York Times it is, and we couldn't be more delighted. The article interviews chef Tom Colicchio who says, "I think the entree has been in trouble for a long time...[e]ating an entree is too many bites of one thing, and it’s boring." Love it.......

-- Interiors (1978): Woody Allen's tribute to Ingmar Bergman seems to have gotten lost in the fold over time (it came out between Annie Hall and Manhattan), but it really is one of his best films, ever. Not a chuckle to be found during this beautiful movie focusing on three sisters and one suicidal Martha Stewart-esque mother. Screens at 5:10 p.m. and 8:45 p.m. (with Love and Death at 7 p.m.) at the Castro......

Gays of the Golden State: rejoice! For a few moments! State legislators approved "gender-neutral marriage" for the second time. And for the second time it bites its nails, waiting for Governor Schwarzenegger to beat it to death. Doing his hair and makeup for T3? Have at it. Letting them get married? Nope.It seems that homosexual love is not nearly as real as heterosexual love. Above all else, that's pretty much the message he wants......

Stephanie V.W. Lucianovic is a culinary school graduate that writes about food and television. What's not to love? She's best known for her scathing, funny, and exhaustive coverage of several shows over at Television Without Pity, where she uses the nom du plum of Keckler--we'll be the first to admit (as we have before): her coverage of Top Chef is second to none. She's also a regular at where we first met her), and has her very own food-centric bloggie, The Grub Report. Check out our recent discussion for details on an a cup of salsa's epic journey, a bit on being a cheese archivist, the ressurection of our favorite word from Top Chef Season Two ("craveable"), and some insight into the challenges in writing loads and loads about television at the very popular TWOP. ...

We know this is very Martha Stewart of us and we'll admit maybe we were a little brain washed on our recent Jet Blue flight, where we got to watch hours of Martha on direct TV (and how excited are we that Jet Blue will be flying out of SFO starting May 3rd? SO excited), but holidays are a great excuse for some crafty activity. So pull out the ugly wicker baskets and peeps. Truth be told we were never huge fans of oversized chocolate bunnies, but we're coveting these faux ones from Jek in the Box, looks like there are only a few left in her Etsy shop, but these would also be really fun to try and make. ...

Needle point canvas from this years TNNA Just to be clear, TNNA has absolutely nothing to do with the similar sounding t&a. Although, several times this weekend we did accidentally say TNA instead of TNNA. There's nothing sexy about this trade show put on by the National Needlearts Association, held in San Diego. Well, that's not entirely true, the amount of yarn, draped over every imaginable surface, in every color, made of everything from real fur (yes, real fur) to the more traditional cashmere (which we heard Martha Stewart is a fan of) to organic cotton, is borderline obscene. And on the first day there we did meet Domiknitrix, a San Francisco local, signing her new book. She definitely stood out on the trade floorshow with her high heels and whip. ...

We're on the Other Coast this week, ensconced with family for Pesach-- that yearly holiday that celebrates our people's release from bondage and their subsequent peaceful and uneventful existence, and even though we can barely find out how the Giants are doing, it's not so difficult to see the latest in Barry news. It's a perjury investigation, baby!...

The Olympics are finally over, and television is returning to its regular line-up of tired reality shows and midseason replacements. We're stoked. For the past two weeks Donald Trump and Martha Stewart have been embroiled in a very public feud over just who is to blame for the general suckiness and failure of both of their "Apprentice" shows last season. We have no desire to pick sides here because we can't help but think......

The most exciting thing on TV last night was the season finale of "The Apprentice: Martha Stewart." Which is to say, there was nothing exciting on TV last night. Tonight's a little better. First off, we're only a day away from Festivus. To help prepare you for those Feats of Strength and the Airing of Grievances, TBS will be running the "The Strike," the "Seinfeld" episode that started it all, tonight at 9 p.m.......

We ranted about the City's lack of any free access to NBC months ago, but it looks like KNTV might finally be nearing the completion of that tower they've been promising us for years. If that's true, cable-less and dish-less viewers will be able to change that dial old-school style to channel 11 and bask in the glow of the Technicolor Peacock once again, maybe as soon as next week. Too bad they weren't......

If you think you have a knack for tasteful flower arrangements, baking the perfect pie, and obstruction of justice, then fire up that glue gun and head on down to KNTV in San Jose tomorrow morning at 9 a.m. to an open casting call for "The Apprentice: Martha Stewart." NBC announced Wednesday that Mark Burnett will produce a "The Apprentice" spin-off series that will feature Martha Stewart. Production is scheduled to begin in March,......

Now that we've finally gotten that good time over with and those pesky Holidays are at last behind us, we can get back to the things that are really important. Like watching the return of our favorite TV shows. For our recommendation this week we really have only one word: Alias. After a break of what seems like three years, our favorite spy show is returning to ABC this Wednesday with a two-hour premiere......

Have you been waiting fruitlessly for Ebenezer Comcast to make good on its promises to sell you a cheap TiVo knockoff digital recorder, while you forlornly watch live, unpausable TV in the cold with your physically-disabled son Timothy? Well, Alviso-based TiVo isn't waiting for Marlowe and those three ghosts to show up at Comcast's door -- we've got it on a tip that they're going to be giving TiVo recorder units away this Friday. TiVo recorders (don't call 'em TiVos), like information and Martha Stewart, only want to be free! (You still have to pay for either the monthly fee or the lifetime subscription, though.) Show up at their headquarters between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Friday (or until supplies last) with an original Comcast bill (within the last two months) and a new toy or piece of clothing to donate to the Family Giving Tree charity, and the TiVo is yours to keep. God bless us, every one! According to the fine print, the line doesn't start until 9 a.m., you must bring a photo i.d. corresponding to the name on your Comcast bill, and the offer is only open to new TiVo subscribers. Send more hot tips like this our way! ...

This week's Bay Blogger Thursday has been a long time coming. Ever since EssEffist went deep into the bowels of the innerweb trolling for bloggers to add to our link list (over there on the right), we've wanted to let the world know about A Comedy Notebook. Immediately upon finding this site, we knew we had struck gold. We have no idea who's comedy notebook this is, but they're good. They should be writing bits for Dave or Conan's monologue, as far as we're considered. Of course they could write for Jay, but the jokes would have to be much less funny. A sampling: What is this a picture of? A. The effects of a hurricane on a pier B. A large wave crashing on a Florida coastline C. A Reuben Studdard cannonball dive
