Thanks to Mad Men and Breaking Bad, AMC finally got nominated for a passel of Emmys this year, which meant that at some point, someone at the network was bound to remember that they were being aired next Sunday, opposite its marquee show. So AMC has announced that it’s pushing back episode 9 of season 2, and thus the rest of the season, …

Weeds ended its fourth season last night, without me. The finale is sitting on my desk, but I fell behind over the summer (the early part of the season lost me), and at some point I’ll need to marathon the last few episodes. In the meantime, feel free to roll your own analysis in the comments. Has Nancy still got it?

You had to know this was coming. McCain campaign surrogate and former HP chief Carly Fiorina has called Tina Fey’s portrayal of Sarah Palin “disrespectful” and “sexist.”

Well, let’s be fair here. Fiorina didn’t exactly say that Tina Fey was sexist. She said that the skit “continues the line of argument that is disrespectful in the …

Yesterday, I posted a review of a web-video snippet of a single SNL sketch.

This morning I wrote about Seth MacFarlane’s venture into Web video, which shows that his humor works best isolated into 90-second chunks.

I’ve seen several reviews today of the season premiere of SNL, which seems like a kind …

Back in the Wild West days of YouTube, before the copyright lawyers arrived to harsh everyone’s mellow, you could scan through the currently-playing videos and conclude that Family Guy must be the highest-rated show on TV, if not the most popular entertainment on the planet.

Family Guy does well enough, of course, but it’s only a …

There didn’t exactly seem to be a clamor for a weekly True Blood Watch last week, but has anyone stuck with it? Second impressions?

I did actually find the series improved by the fourth and fifth episodes, but I don’t know if it’s enough, or if many people will stick around until then.

Tina Fey is just a heartbeat away from having to be on Saturday Night Live every week.

There were a lot of ways you could have gone with the first Palin skit—the ABC interview, the convention, something involving moose—but I’m glad they went the Hillary route since (1) “What must Hillary be thinking right now?” has been a constant …

A reminder that Saturday Night Live returns this weekend, amid word that Tina Fey is in talks to play Sarah Palin on the show. (Also, Barack Obama will reportedly cameo.)

What’s the opening sketch? The Charlie Gibson interview? The convention? Will it involve Bristol? Will there be a moose?

Update: Chaddogg asks a better

…

For the past few days, the entire world has been offering Charles Gibson unsolicited advice on how to interview Sarah Palin. I’ve done enough bad interviews in my day that I can hardly imagine handling one in front of an audience of a million kibitzers. So I’ll spare you (and Gibson) my two cents on which followup I would have asked here …

Project Runway judge Michael Kors showed his own collection at New York’s Fall Fashion Week. WWD calls his spring collection “a bit familiar,” but at least there’s no models “pooping fabric” here! Elsewhere at time.com, Joel Stein offers his take, which apparently differs from the rest of the fashion commentariat. (“Those are the three …
