Nielsen reports some figures this morning on the most popular TV shows streamed online from network websites. In December, the ratings company says, Grey’s Anatomy was the third-most streamed show, with 879,000 unique viewers. Maybe a bit surprising, since Grey’s does not get online buzz in proportion to its network ratings, but it’s a …
And also a rabbit. On Feb 23, Christie’s International in Paris will begin a much-hyped three-day auction of furniture and art from the various homes of Yves Saint Laurent and his partner Pierre Berge. To give potential American bidders a close look, last year Christie’s shipped some of the choicer items for a brief display at its New …

…and while I’m out, feel free to engage in wild speculation about tonight’s Lost, about which I know next to nothing. Here’s the next to nothing that I know, from ABC’s press release:

Last night was one of the intriguing ones, putting a …
Last week, in a story I put up on the Time.com home page about the attempt by Brandeis to do whatever it’s trying to do to the Rose Art Museum, I mentioned that one reason why trashing the Rose was a terrible idea is that Brandeis has a significant art history program and the Rose is a major teaching resource for that program.

New York Comic Con—a smaller version of the behemoth held in San Diego in summer—was held last weekend, and I attended for the first time. I went just for a day, with the rest of the Tuned In family (the Tuned In Jrs. got into a packed-to-the-rafters lecture by the author of Diary of a Wimpy Kid), in part because, compared with the …

Many of our Monday-night staples were pre-empted by the press conference, but Heroes returned for week two of its new installment. The show is farther down my TiVo-and-watch-later list, but your comments welcomed on it, or any other parts of last night’s attenuated primetime.
A very bad omen for the Chinese New Year.
Shepard Fairey strikes back at Associated Press (which says it owns the right to the photo he used for his Obama poster.)
And the strangest — arts-hating Oklahoma senator Tom Coburn has a daughter who just happens to be an opera singer. (Maybe we should check that Senate version of the …
