The Morning After: Letterman's Campaign
President Barack Obama appeared on David Letterman’s Late Show last night. My colleague on the politics side, Michael Scherer, has a summary of the appearance over at Swampland. Also at Swampland, Karen Tumulty has a post up about Tom DeLay’s performance on Dancing with the Stars.
If I can work out a trade, I’ll be …
HIMYM Watch: The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles
Spoilers for the season premiere of How I Met Your Mother coming up after the jump:
TV Tonight: House of Pain
By Nielsen’s calendar it’s the first official night of the 2009–10 season (oh, typing that “10” makes me feel old). Which means a deluge of season and series premieres and no more freebies for Jay Leno. Among tonight’s highlights—or, well, at least lights, high or otherwise:
* I enjoy House but never developed a regular habit, …
On the Road Again
Again! Back Wednesday.
The Morning After: Groundhog Morning
Of all the reasons I am not a political reporter, the greatest is that, media junkie though I am, the idea of being compelled to watch the Sunday talk shows every weekend is the most depressing thing I can imagine. So even this weekend, as President Obama did a round of five Sunday shows, including Univision’s, I was at the park with the …
The Emmys Salute Mass Media, May It Rest In Peace
“Amy [Poehler] and I are honored to be presenting on the last official year of network broadcast television,” said Julia Louis-Dreyfus at the Emmy awards last night. She was joking. Or was she? The Emmys, hosted with song and wit by Neil Patrick Harris, was the funniest and most entertaining TV awards-cast in recent memory. But it also …
Mad Men Watch: Independence Day
SPOILER ALERT: Before you read this post, drive your John Deere riding mower across the living room and watch last night’s Mad Men.

TV Weekend: Private Eye-rony; Also, Curb’s Return
It’s a tricky Sunday coming up for fans of finer television everywhere. The Emmys (hosted by the suddenly ubiquitous Neil Patrick Harris) are on that night. Mad Men, refusing to take a breather even for its likely slew of awards, airs an original episode. And HBO debuts a strong new comedy—Bored to Death—while Curb Your …
Home on the Range
I was out in Dallas last week to take a look at the new Cowboys Stadium, a $1.2 billion extravaganza that’s as much the creation of Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones as it is of the architects who designed it. It doesn’t represent the kind of radical rethinking of stadium design that you get from, say, Herzog & deMueron. But at a time when …
TV for the Law-Abiding: FlashForward Preview
[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3445540&w=425&h=350&fv=]
Public-service announcement: you can now watch the first 18 minutes of FlashForward on Hulu. That’s if you haven’t already watched the whole damn thing via BitTorrent, where it has apparently leaked. (Incidentally, so much for ABC’s hoo-hah notion that not sending critics a screener would …
