This won't last long. But while it does, peekvid provides a very simple interface to usenet videos hosted by guba. In other words, this is a bunch of illegally downloadable television shows being provided on someone else's dime. Enjoy.

Three Simpsons writers have science PhDs. What's so funny about scientists?

Jean: It's an even higher percentage on Futurama.

Cohen: We had quite a batch of scientists, if I can use the term scientist loosely to include those who meet the criteria partway, such as myself. Out of 12 writers, I guess we scientists [on Futurama] were a plurality, you could say, which is an annoying use of that word.

Jean: There's a mathematical structure to comedy when you look for the perfect line or natural expression for a joke. It's not a one-to-one correspondence but there definitely exists a similarity. Of course, I don't want to give the impression that you need a Harvard or math degree to write good comedy, but it's helped.

NEW YORK -- April 10, 2006 -– NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” presents a special “Best Of” compilation on April 29 (11:30 pm – 1 am ET) featuring the first-ever collection of “Saturday TV Funhouse” shorts by acclaimed comedian Robert Smigel.

The special will be hosted by “The Ambiguously Gay Duo,” Ace and Gary (voiced, as ever, by Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell) and will feature new material starring the subtly homoerotic superheroes performing an “SNL” monologue as well as interacting “live” with the current cast throughout the show.

"Watch "Star Trek", the original series, as you've never seen it before with G4's , putting you in command of a Starfleet of interactive Trek features while you watch. For example, "Beam Me Up" is a real-time chat room where you can chat about the episode and see your commentary broadcast live. You can also learn obscure facts, stories, and little-known insider information about the show while you keep an eye on "Trek Stats," an ever-growing tally of classic Star Trek moments (such as Spock saying "illogical" or mounting "Red Shirt" deaths). There's also the "Spock Market" where you can buy (and sell) shares of Kirk or McCoy, and watch a real-time Star Trek Stock Exchange running on the right-hand side of the TV screen showing the gains and losses of each character's stock as they are affected by the events in each episode (e.g. Kirk's stock may increase if he scores with a female character). premieres tonight at 11PM ET/PT on G4."
