It’s finally here! The most joyous day on Tuned In’s calendar! And you know what that means: Time to lay down some severe rules.
Just kidding. Kind of. But as you may have heard, the first hour of Lost, screened by ABC for a select group over the weekend, has leaked out on YouTube, as screenings do. Tuned Inlanders are generally good …
The list of movie greats who never won an Academy Award is long and sad, but there are significant artists and pictures eliminated from contention before Oscar races even begin. Here are 10 classics the Academy ignored

Last night’s Grammy Awards were the highest rated in years for CBS, drawing over 26 million viewers. I, alas, only accounted for half a viewer, having checked out on the broadcast somewhere after Pink’s fluid-soaked Cirque du Soleil debut. Time.com’s Claire Suddath covered and reviewed the performances for us, however. What were your …

I’ll be spending much of the next 24 hours or so getting psyched and prepped for the final-season debut of Lost, part of which involves simply trying to remember all the story we’ve downloaded over the past five years. Which means a lot of re-watching and looking back. So what better time to pick our fave Lost episodes that have aired so …

The first four minutes of Lost‘s season premiere have been leaked online, reportedly after a fan won the footage on a USB drive in a contest. James Hibberd at The Hollywood Reporter says ABC has given permission to embed it, and I’m doing so above also linking it here. (The clip comes from uber-Lost guru DocArzt.)
But I’m not going to …

Because you should always endeavor to do exactly what I’m doing, this would be a good time to go back and re-watch Lost’s pilot in preparation for the season debut next Tuesday.
You can have plenty of fun looking back and seeing, in retrospect, how much foreshadowing there is in those two hours …

Super Bowl Sunday is a little more a week away, and the most exciting matchup so far is on the advertising field. CBS, which used to observe a proscription against “issue” advertising during the big game, recently dropped its objection, to accept an ad from pro-life evangelical group Focus on the Family, featuring star quarterback Tim …

I joked yesterday about the fact that death is a temporary state on Lost, but it seems pretty clear that, whatever mythology eventually gets revealed, it will have to have something to do with explaining about why we see (or think we do?) so many dead people walking around on The Island.
As with Battlestar Galactica, the solution goes …

NBC’s comedies were in reruns last night, but that doesn’t mean there was no new comedy. FX’s Archer aired a new episode last night, and although I won’t discuss the specific episode—because I’m not sure if FX has been airing episodes in the order I received them—I can say that as I watched the five episodes I was sent in advance, …

My column in this week’s print TIME is about the New York Times’ plan to begin charging (some people, something) to read it on the Web starting next year. Seemingly by design, it doesn’t look like the plan would raise too much money at first. It’s more important symbolically: the country’s most authoritative (and argued-about) …
