Yeah yeah, I know this is a TV blog and all but I traditionally list my favorite music from the past year as we head into the big ball drop. Looking at my music choices this year, I’m getting old and normal. It’s sad to me. Gone are the days of hardcore bands and screamo. Hello middle age.

Check out my faves from 2006.

SUPERNATURAL still has an episode or two in the can that will air at some point in 2008. Episode 3.09 “Malleus Maleficarum” does not have an airdate yet, repeat… DOES NOT have an airdate. I’ve seen the CW Schedule Press Release through the week of January 14th and it’s nothing but repeats. The minute we have an airdate I’ll let you know.

In the meantime, sit back and check out some pictures from “Malleus Maleficarum”

JERICHO returns for a second and very abbreviated season on February 12th. Check out this video of some ass kicking to prepare you for those nuts.

See, you mention American Gladiators and suddenly some Gladiators stuff ends up in your email box courtesy of NBC. I didn’t get any NBC box sets for Xmas, how sad. Let’s see if it works this time!

Here’s a really fun video celebrating the return of American Gladiators on NBC. I almost forgot Hulk Hogan was hosting this thing. I could do without that, no?

Have you ever wanted to be an American Gladiator? Well here’s your chance! Be A Gladiator let’s you pump it up! Send your old high school bully’s a screenshot of your new physique. Guaranteed to make the remainder of the holiday’s a treat for all.

Want to know which Gladiator used to be in Gay Porn? Probably not safe for work. Thanks to Tim G, we now know! What’s that say about Tim G.?

Tis the season… to be watching the DVD box sets you got for Christmas. Jesus Christ is there nothing on television these days. Luckily I got Seasons 1 & 2 of BONES so I’m good to go for a while. Seriously though, it’s quite depressing how little television there is that’s worth spending time on. Is it wrong that I’m kinda excited to see American Gladiators? I mean where else can you see men in bulging tight unitards wrasslin around with other men in bulging tight unitards? It’s a gay dream, I haven’t seen that much stuffed sausage since… wait, what?

Regardless, we should not forget that there is still a major work stoppage in Hollywood. It’s December 27th, Day 53 of the WGA Strike and while there’s not a whole heaping helping of stuff to report on, I thought I’d share some links and a great video.

First, here’s the video LIFE ON STRIKE which was originally produced for The Strike Show benefit. It’s cute and also has Ana Ortiz from UGLY BETTY (which sadly I did not get for Christmas so I still can’t catch up).

If you’ve not yet begun reading the “Why We Write” series, now’s the time to start. This week, CSI’s Carol Mendelson and 24 Exec. Producer Howard Gordon is featured.

Here is an amazing video that capsulates Seasons 1-3 of LOST into one 8 minute 15 second vision of greatness.

On a normal Thursday I’d be getting geared up for a fresh new episode of SUPERNATURAL but with the holidays and the WGA Strike, this is no normal Thursday. So in honor of my favorite boys on television I thought I’d write about something fun that I got over the holiday season.

All 6 SUPERNATURAL: Origins Comic Books!

Apparently Issue 1 came out in May 2007 – where the frak have I been? Seriously. Regardless, I’m happy to have found them and to have begun reading them. While really this post has no relevance at all to anything in particular I really just wanted to write and say that I have them and that they kick ass and that it’s related to Supernatural which we all need a little more of in our lives.

Do you guys have these? Do you like them? So far I’ve only read Issue #1 but it was good, so I’m psyched to dive into Issue #2 today. God I’m getting geekier every day.
