Welcome to the ongoing mission of the TV media experiment; its goal of delivering fine television-themed entertainment in one convenient place continues. Still having fun? Are you there? There is no end in sight, the media does not know when to say when, it is relentless in its constant presence. The only way to satisfy it is to keep plowing ahead.
This is the third of the media column family, joining movies and music. Each week I hope to bring a number of clips for you to view, perhaps some news, full episodes, and TV-on-DVD info. So, stick around, watch some TV, and have a good time!
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip - "Pilot"
Why, oh why, could this show not have gone on longer? I really liked this series. Was it perfect? No, but it was entertaining, if not exactly realistic. This is the show that Aaron Sorkin started after The West Wing ended its run. That was a show I did not watch, never cared for the political stuff. Unfortunately, this only went one season. Fortunately, that leaves us wth 22 episodes that won't go away.
Prison Break - Season 4 Preview and Recap
Surprisingly, Prison Break is returning for its fourth season. I enjoy the show, but none of the subsequent seasons have measured up to the first one. Will this season be the one to return to its past success? I doubt it, but I am still looking forward to it. The two-hour season premiere aired September 1 at 8PM on FOX. Here is a clip that hints at a potentially huge revelation for the series:
Here is a recap of the first three seasons:
90210 - Preview
The preview says "Nothing is what you expect," unless you expect annoying. I never watched the original series, so I probably shouldn't say anything, but the characters in this preview strike me as just annoying buggers. Still, I may give at least the premiere a shot. (Update: I tried it and did not like it at all.)

Excellent point on Studio 60. It was brilliant and I fought very hard to keep it on - started an online petition which garnered I believe 30K sigs but alas... West Wing is brilliant on an even grander scale. I use it to teach poly sci to my high school class...
Thanks for the post.
