IPL Final attracts 24 million.

Considering that nearly 27 million watched the India-Pakistan Twenty20 Final last year, the estimate of 24 million for IPL’s final between Rajasthan Royals and Chennai SuperKings is impressive. And it is considered to be a conservative estimate. The Indian public raised mostly on nationalistic fervor of the game far exceeded expectations and loved the new [...]

How The West Wing predicted the future

One of the TV shows that I’ve always regretted missing is The West Wing and somehow I’ve never managed to get my hands on the DVD versions as well. But I’ve always heard high praise for the series. Matt Santos, one of the characters in the series was modeled on Barack Obama. But the real [...]

Clinton engineered the Writer’s Strike

Conspiracy theory of the day - Hillary Clinton engineered the now-called-off writer’s strike because 24, the neocon drama on Fox was going to feature a woman President. Knowing 24, I’m sure the depiction would not have been favorable just like that All State black guy although with honorable intentions was an ineffective President in the [...]

In a great move that indicates moving ahead with the times, HBO announced that it would soon offer all of its content online. Of course, being the premium channel it will not offer this content for free. In a much easier way to weed out freeloaders, you will be able to see this online content [...]

Twittering CSI

Twitter helps solve a case in CSI. Don’t bother registering those nicknames; they were already taken minutes after the show aired. BTW, are you following me on Twitter?

Top Broadcast TV Shows

The top broadcast TV programs this week. I guess, I stray off the beaten path because I watch only House from that list. A post of the shows I watch would be nice, no?

New Video site for the Daily Show

Comedy Central finally revamps the video site for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. It is now easier to submit videos on social networking sites like Digg and Reddit. I guess, they finally understand that if you can’t beat them then join them.

A PhD Flop Show

Talking about the travails of a PhD, Sampada also a fellow PhD student shares an hilarious Jaspal Bhatti’s Flop Show episode. I especially love the part when the poor student is making tea in a beaker over a Bunsen burner. Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.

Talking Truth to the Book

Most (all?) of the guests on late-night talk shows are selling their books, movies, music, or even fashion lines. Call it the perfect product placement. And often talk show hosts will help their guests sell their crap. But it makes for great television when the hosts veer off the scripted lines and wade into their [...]
