Many years ago two of my greatest, if not my two greatest, passions united in a music video. I speak of course of Weezer and the Muppets, joining forces for the “Keep Fishin’” music video. Unfortunately, by that time Weezer was already on their way to retroactively ruining the fanatical affection I harbored for them [...]

Jimmy Fallon Friday Nostalgia Corner: TGIF Medley!
TGIF is pretty much my go-to subject for the Nostalgia Corner, but I’m not sure anything will ever top this TGIF theme song medley courtesy of tonight’s Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and a capella group Straight No Chaser. Late Night, you honor TGIF, and by doing so you honor us.

More Incontrovertible Proof That Jimmy Fallon Is on Fire
And that proof is that last Thursday he welcomed our good friend Eliot Glazer and, more importantly, Eliot’s dog Atticus (whom I like to consider as my dog nephew, or dog Godson).

Thoughts on the LOST Premiere AKA Why LOST Was the Best Show of the Last Decade
I’m not sure if I’m going to make a habit of posting weekly Lost reactions. First of all, there are countless other bloggers who do an infinitely better job parsing the show and its mythology (Doc Jensen, Videogum, Alan Sepinwall, AV Club to name a few) And second, I think I’d rather spend my time [...]

Bible Imagery! Let the ‘LOST’ Countdown/Takeover of Every Waking Moment of Our Lives Begin!
Ohmigod, I’m going to need freak out control. Well, folks, less than a month until the final season of LOST premieres. I’ll be honest, because the hiatus is now so lengthy between seasons, I hadn’t been thinking about the show too much lately. And, to be franker still, the show so completely dominates my brainwaves [...]
