one of my favorite podcasts, comedy bang bang, is coming to ifc soon. while there are a number of similarities between the two formats, im glad to see the show goes beyond what they podcast normally does. the host cut his teeth as a writer on mr. show and is plugged into the upright citizen brigade world so expect that sort of humor. this isnt great but it shows some potential.

i guess we moved too soon. alex, start dining at cebu!
not exactly my cup of tea but i thought the debut of smash was well executed. and as nbc is desperate for a hit (and id like something to watch thats not reality-based) im sort of rooting for it.
havent watched any of the australian open but knew the mens final between nadal and djokovic was on at 3am est last night. djokovic has won three out of the last four majors and beaten nadal seven straight times including finals at the us open and wimbledon. i turned on the tv just before ten and they were wrapping up after a nearly six hour match, the longest final in majors history. i wont say who won as theyve started a rebroadcast on espn 2. they began the broadcast near the end of the second set so youll only have to endure another 2 1/2 hours to find out the winner as the program is scheduled to end at 1pm. or you could search online. im pretty sure the results have leaked.
Enjoying season two of portlandia so far. (you go. No, you go.) Shameless less so.
