Even a caveman could do it
Television networks nowadays are constantly exploring new avenues to find their next hit. In the flood of the reality-television programs, the sitcome unfortunately is largely ignored and with the exception of Two and Half Men, I can’t think of a single sitcom on all network channels that is a serious contender for the ratings. All-time [...]

Web traffic spikes during TV prime time
More and more people are now surfing the Internet to search for content that they see on TV. Web site traffic during TV prime time has been spiking thanks to such multi-tasking behavior. But is this good?

Sanjaya Malakar is America’s Revenge against American Idol
America is probably hating and bringing down American Idol by voting for Sanjaya Malakar. And he is playing along by giving them every reason to hate him and love him at the same time.

Watch Television Online with Joost
I had pre-registered with Joost when I read about them in Wired Magazine and was excited when I received an invitation to join the beta test program yesterday. Basically, it let me download the Joost (beta) program off their website. I created an account (damn! my default user name was taken…wondering who chose ‘patrix‘ considering [...]

Sanjaya as a Lucha Libre wrestler
Nope, don’t worry, that is not Sanjaya Malakar although the resemblance is uncanny. That is Esqueleto (Hector Jimenez) in Jack Black’s Nacho Libre. The relevant video trailer for Nacho Libre can be accessed here. Is it a strange coincidence that next week is Latin Night on American Idol and Vote for the Worst is hoping [...]

Camila Recchi - Sanjaya Malakar’s ‘talented’ cousin?
In an effort to inundate you with Malakar news and subsequently drop the ’serious-quotient’ of this blog to abysmal levels, I present to you Sanjaya Malakar’s talented cousin - Camila Recchi. Rumor has it that she will be trying out for next year’s American Idol. It seems that the Malakars are planning on owning American [...]

Sanjaya Malakar Hair Styles
The comedian, Eric Schwartz who shot the insanely hilarious and catch Sanjaya Anthem has now come up with yet another video on Sanjaya. This time, he presents Sanjaya hair styles for spring holidays. Enjoy!
I was rebuked earlier for dragging Bush into the Malakar conspiracy (voting for the wrong guy, etc.) and I even admitted that [...]

Starving for Sanjaya is too much work
This is freaking hilarious. First, I don’t understand why people are getting their panties (or undies) in a twist over a dumb reality show (again, it isn’t about singing.) But all wackiness was surpassed when a certain ’sparklechick’ embarked on a hunger strike to vote Sanjaya out [YouTube link.] As Anna at Sepia Mutiny says, [...]

Sanjaya Malakar is beyond American Idol
The discussion of Sanjaya’s relevance has moved beyond American Idol. Whether he is voted out today or not, he is surely here to stay and is not your typical 15-minute-fame-guy. Initially I was disengaged on his fate in American Idol. I know he doesn’t sing that great or doesn’t have that overpowering stage presence of [...]

Sanjaya Malakar makes little girls cry
I am surprised that a storm has been brewing [CelebTV video] outside the die hard American Idol fan base over the continued presence of Sanjaya Malakar. However, after yesterday’s episode, he might just stay another week if not more. Sanjaya shed his shy guy image, sang “You Really Got Me“, pranced around the stage & [...]

Racist motivations behind Sanjaya Malakar’s presence on American Idol?
It is not every day that I am called a specialist on American Idol opinions. But since Confused referred to me as such on DesiPundit, I’ll try to sneak in an opinion. Mera Gussa blogging on the O3 domain attributed Sanjaya’s continued presence as racist behavior by Indians. The blogger says:
The Indian/Indian origin population in [...]

Sanjaya Malakar pips Sundance and joins American Idol Top 12
Well, you might think he cannot sing those high notes and merely whispers his Stevie Wonder rendition and guess what, you might be right. But America prefers a brown desi kid to a Pearl Jam rendition by one of the better singers, Sundance Head in American Idol. This is the first time a desi has [...]

Sanjaya Malakar in last 16
…but barely scraping by. But not according to Dial Idol, which ranked him #2 below Sundance Head. I don’t think the American Idol contestants are checking out the buzz otherwise they wouldn’t be so tense on judgment day. He didn’t have the best of the performances and was actually ripped apart by the judges. But [...]

The End of Studio 60
Intelligent television unfortunately doesn’t have a market in today’s reality-crazed age. A reasonably intelligent show that doesn’t require you to dial in to kick some ass off the show and ‘end his dreams’ or that gives you free cash for making random guesses or that doesn’t require you to suspend your disbelief (24 and Heroes) [...]
