TV Weekend: That Episode of Dollhouse Joss Whedon Says You Should Watch? Watch It
…of course it’s on at the same time as the finale of Battlestar Galactica, so how are you supposed to watch both? I don’t know. Get a DVR. Have a friend record it for you. Download it. Call your local cable/satellite provider! Do I have to do everything here?
Seriously, it’s unfortunate timing for Dollhouse, considering the …

TV Tonight: Party Down
When (and if) you first heard about Party Down, the new comedy on Starz, your reaction was probably the same as mine: do I have Starz? Now would be a good time to find out, because this show—from Rob Thomas and Paul Rudd and with a cast including Adam Scott, Jane Lynch and Martin Starr—is worth your time and pay-cable dollar. …
Willliam Kentridge at SFMOMA
The main thing that took me out to San Francisco recently was the William Kentridge show at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, which will be traveling to no fewer than seven cities over the next two years, three in the U.S. and four abroad.

As mentioned, I’ve already seen the finale (and no, I am not breathing a word, hard as it is to …

Obama on Leno: Some Strikes, Some Spin, and a Gutterball
Be likeable, but don’t be too frivolous. Be substantive, but don’t be too wonky. Be serious, but don’t be too grim. Be spontaneous, but don’t put your foot in your mouth. These were some of the contradictory demands on President Barack Obama for his appearance as the first sitting chief executive to appear on The Tonight Show—some …
Putting the Squeeze on Fees in Chicago
Yesterday I mentioned that in May, when the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art opens its new rooftop sculpture garden, it will also increase its admission fee by 20%, from $12.50 to $15. I think I’m seeing a trend here. Pending approval by the city, the Philadelphia Museum of Art also plans to increase admission fees, which range right …

Now You Show Me Your Twitter
Ah, I’m just never going to get tired of writing headlines like that! It occurred to me that, after I posted yesterday about joining Twitter partly to be able to follow other writers’ feeds, I didn’t actually mention who any of those other writers were.
Besides several of Tuned In’s longtime favorite TV, media and culture critics, I’ve …

The Morning After: Bela-Ted
I never reviewed ABC’s new comedy Better Off Ted, it being a casualty of a busy week. Created by Victor Fresco (Andy Richter Controls the Universe) and set in the vaguely sinister R&D department of a megacorporation, it continues this TV season’s theme of abused science (Dollhouse, Fringe, Eleventh Hour) in the form of a sitcom. …
