Watch This: Strangers With Candy

Stephen Colbert-a man that is known and beloved for his excellent news satire show The Colbert Report and former member of The Daily Show team. Not many people know, however, that Colbert goes his start as early on as a member of the Second City comedy troupe and the short lived comedy sketch show Exit 57. Colbert also co-created, wrote, and starred in the overlooked dark comedy series Strangers With Candy. Read on to hear why you need to watch this show immediately!

New TV Review: Fairly Legal

I think USA is a pretty underrated network. They seem a little buried under a lot of other networks like FX and TNT, though I'm not sure why-not enough advertising maybe?

In any case, they put on some pretty good shows, such as one of my favorites on TV, Burn Notice, a fantastic spy action show with good writing and great cast including the one and only Bruce Campbell.

The network is rolling out some new series as part of the new year, one of which is Barely Legal. Is it worth your time? Read on to find out!

Watch This: Snuff Box

I've made a lot of posts about great shows you should be watching, and a good handful of them have been British. That's for a few different reasons. The first being, I'm a fan of a lot of things British, and in particular their brand of humor. British humor, I feel, takes a certain amount of intellect not always present in American comedy (there are, of course, exceptions on both sides). I'm also of the opinion that, in general, British TV networks are more open to shows that are edgy and different. Another show that falls into these categories is the darkly hilarious "Snuff Box", a twisted but amazing sketch show. More after the break!

Thoughts On The Golden Globes

The Golden Globes have come and gone, and we're a step closer to the Oscars. The Globes are in a lot of ways though of as the "warm up" for the Academy Awards, a sort of preview as to who might be nominated and who might win big.

But even though it's the Oscars little brother, it holds its own esteem and winning a Globe is a good achievement.

Ricky Gervais hosted once again this year, bringing his sharp humor and natural wit to the ceremonies. Read on after the break for the big winners and my thoughts!

TV review: "The Cape" (Pilot)

January is a weird time of the year. The excitement of the holidays has faded, it's the month for studios to release their real turds, and it can be cold as balls (depending on where you live, of course). But it's also the return of a number of series, as well as debuts of a few more. NBC is rolling out some new stuff, including the new comedy "Perfect Couples"(review to come next week), and the noir-infused superhero series "The Cape", which premiered this last weekend.

The network is trying to cash in on the new trend of superheros that are darker and more human...did they succeed? Read on to find out!

3 Christmas Specials To Watch

It's that time of year again, and technically it has been since Black Friday. Since then we've been bombarded by Christmas...I can barely stand to go to the grocery store anymore in the fear of hearing more terrible country versions of classic Christmas songs.

The decorations go up, the wish lists start, the bell ringers make their collections...and of course, holiday TV specials come on. There are more and more of them every year-you have your Christmas episodes of comedies like 30 Rock, your classic staples, and who can forgot...those poorly put-together made-for-TV movies that air on the likes of Lifetime and ABC Family. But fear not, dear reader...I have 3 specials to suggest that are some of the best.

Read on to check them out...more after the jump!

Watch This: "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia"

I think it's safe to say that by now, most everyone has heard of "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia". It's blown up in the past few years as the one of the must-watch shows on TV right now, and you have at least one friend who's always telling you about it.

Still, there are plenty of people who don't sit down and watch at least an episode, let alone start to watch on a regular basis. Well I'm her to tell you that if you're one of these people...change. Fast. Read on for my argument as to why you should be watching "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia!"

Thoughts on Google TV

The prospect of a TV-connected computer in every living room is a frequent obsession in the technology industry. It's been attempted countless times. Microsoft allegedly started the great Xbox experiment in order to prevent Sony's Playstation line from taking over the living room PC experience. Tivo, Roku boxes, and high-end media streamers have been available for years, but all have failed to achieve mass-market adoption. Apple tried a new approach recently with its new aggressively-priced $99 Apple TV, a simple media streamer with access to on-demand television and movie rentals. But even Apple remains skeptical of its adoption, referring to it as a "hobbyist" device.

Google TV represents a pretty ambitious leap forward. The idea is simple: create a TV-optimized operating system with online connectivity and have all the electronics manufacturers design new TVs or external boxes to support this new OS. It's a dream that Microsoft has been attempting for over a decade, and when it comes to mass-adoption, Google may beat them to it.

Taking what they learned from Android, Google created an open-source software platform for television. The possibilities are endless; take all the limitless functionality of a smartphone, and multiply it times the size of your 46" Sony Bravia. Imagine televisions with built-in app functionality. No need to pump Netflix or Hulu through your PS3 - just download the apps directly to your TV. Imagine turning your TV into a live-time CNN news ticker or conducting a four-way video chat from your living room - these are some of the things that become possible. A slick, web-browsing PC running on the largest display in your house. 

But Google TV's often-overlooked potential is in its potential as an integrated gaming platform. Just as the iPhone and iPod Touch are on a war path to obliterate Nintendo and Sony gaming handhelds, Google TV has the potential to replace your Wii or Xbox. While the graphics capabilities of a Google TV box would be initially underwhelming to a current 360 owner, the convenience of downloading games inexpensively and quickly instead of having to go buy them for $50 from obnoxious Gamestop employees is an advantage that deserves the serious attention of Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony. If Google succeeds and everyone has a cheap box or new TV running the Google TV platform, some families may choose to divest from dedicated gaming consoles - particularly since Google TV will support Bluetooth standards, which would enable a variety of different game controller options. 

There is, however, a major flaw in Google's strategy. Having new televisions come with Google TV built-in is a smart move, but most consumers would likely have to purchase an external box to experience Google TV. This is problematic, since external boxes have typically failed, and companies like Logitech and Sony aren't helping by announcing box prices of $400 or more. Moreover, if Android OS on phones is any indication, Google needs to be extremely wary of how much it freedom it gives to electronics manufacturers. If Google doesn't set proper compatibility guidelines and every manufacturer makes highly-customized versions of the Google TV software, we could see a massive splintering effect occur, similar to what is currently happening with Android phones. Essentially, an uninformed consumer could potentially buy a box that is unable to install future Google TV updates.

Bottom line, the 'smart TV' is coming. Whether it's Google TV, a future Apple TV, or some Windows-packing behemoth, expect this battle to be drawn out and full of fart-sound apps.

TV Review: It's Always Sunny In Philadephlia's Season Premiere

Ahhhhhh, fall. When the leaves turn, we're that much closer to ski season, and of course...the return of our favorite shows! Most people are all abuzz over the return of wildly popular shows such as "Glee" and "30 Rock".

But I wasn't counting down the days for those shows...no sir-I couldn't wait for the return of the funniest show on TV today (yes, more funny than South Park in my opinion): It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia!
