Bob Vila is being evicted from his home at CBS – The syndication outfit has pulled the plug on Bob Vila’s Home Again, ending a 28-year run on television. Low ratings and sub par weekend time periods (i.e. between midnight and 8 a.m.) apparently are to blame. Bob Vila began hosting PBS’ This Old House in 1979, but was dropped […]
Former X-Files star Gillian Anderson bashes TV in this piece from the London Telegraph via The New York Post, saying she’s doesn’t watch it, and doesn’t care for it, and saying it’s destroying society. Talk about biting the hand that fed you… Gee Ms. Anderson, how’s that film career working out for ya? Still living off those X-Files residual checks? […]
Robert Feder’s column in the Sun-Times today: – WCIU-TV is taking advantage of WFLD-TV’s move of The Simpsons to 10:35 p.m. by taking out billboards proclaiming that “Now Bart can watch The King of Queens at 10 p.m.” Somehow, I envisioned Bart watching Futurama on Adult Swim instead… – Meet WKQX-FM’s (or Q101) spokesman: retiring Price is Right host Bob […]
Comes from Richard Huff from the New York Daily News, who blasts the right-wing Parents Television Council (or the Prick Tofu Crud as I call it) for declaring the V-chip a failure and blaming the industry and not the parents who let their kids watch the racy stuff. Good for him! (And good for him on ripping Jennifer Lopez’s no-talent […]
Alabama is saying no to the XM and Sirius satellite merger. That’s nice and all, but how about passing a bill to ban the sale of Taylor Hicks’ music?
Don’t cry, little girl. So the Blackhawks didn’t make the playoffs this year. Don’t worry, you’ll get a chance to see them suck again next year.
Don’t know how the 18-49s and female demos are, but it looks like all that controversy over Miss USA Tara Conner didn’t bring viewers en masse to the pageant. (and boy, did the Miss USA pageant take a drubbing in the Tribune’s Tempo section yesterday. Ouch!) March Madness on CBS (The NCAA hoops tourney) ruled the night. (Bye, USC and […]
The T Dog Media Blog Weekend Edition (Yes, another name thought up by our marketing dept….) You know those paternity tests on Maury? Turns out, they actually serve some purpose after all. And you know what? Maury is right when he talks about men denying responsibility for their biological children. Hate the show all you want, but he’s has a […]

This petition comes from some dopes in the Kansas City market, complaining that their CBS programming is being interrupted by something unimportant as a severe weather alert.

This case has taken an odd turn: Remember the video that was posted on YouTube featuring Carlos Mencia being confronted by Joe Rogan and was taken down by Mencia because he claimed a copyright violation? According to Aaron Barnhart of the Kansas City Star, it turned out that the clip was actually taken down by Viacom – Mencia is under […]
No punches were drawn (rats), but comedians Carlos Mencia (Mind of Mencia) and Joe Rogan (Fear Factor, The Man Show) square off at The Comedy Store in L.A. over Mencia stealing Rogan’s jokes… And Rogan’s agent dumped him because of it… (not to mention he is now banned from The Comedy Store) But wait… This gets better. Video of this […]
