Jimmy Fallon, I like you more and more. Ten years ago you were the object of affection of every girl in my AP European History class, and the envy of every guy (well, not every guy). Then the constant giggling became kinda annoying, and then you went and made Taxi, and then you became sort [...]

This Could Only Be Better If It Somehow Involved Pizza AKA LOST & Kermit!
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 [...]

Because For ‘LOST’ Fans a Simple Title Card Isn’t Enough
Ever since Seinfeld, opening title sequences have been getting shorter and shorter, culminating in the extreme minimalism of the LOST opening, which is no more than a word and a musical note, and is just about pitch perfect. But although they get a blue ribbon for their short, straight to the point title card, one [...]

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). Atticus first achieved fame by setting the blogosphere with his Bold appearance on Cute Overload. After this pic hit the internetwaves I told [...]

Michael Ian Black Does Understand
If there was one comedian/mid-level celebrity whose career I’d like to emulate it would probably be Michael Ian Black (okay, there’s a laundry list of comedian/mid-level celebrities who careers I’d like to emulate, and an even longer list of A-list celebrities whose resumes I wouldn’t mind having. But there are few people out there who [...]

In Defense of: Jim Halpert
One of the thorniest arcs on this uneven season of The Office has been the promotion of Jim to co-manager, a move that has seemed more like a demotion, as he has seemed to have lost the respect of his co-workers (and possibly his wife) as well as misplaced his charm. Where there was once [...]

Muppet Monday: If You Thought the Muppets Were Only Going to Dominate the Web, TV and Volunteerism in 2010 Then You Were Wrong. Dead Wrong.
They’re taking on the comic book world as well. I had a long, busy day so I’m just getting to the Muppet Monday post now. In lieu of this, and for the sake of brevity, I’m going to paste an email from Jump the Snark BFF Steve Ponzo: Maybe a future Muppet Monday for you… [...]

Score One for Gritty High School Football Dramas!
Well, if there were two good things to come out of Jay Leno destroying the NBC schedule, they are that Chuck has been brought back early and given a major push (and will now likely have a much greater chance of surviving to season four) and, as, just announced, Friday Night Lights will return on [...]

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 [...]
