    I just realized you aren't promoting Titan Maximum! It airs before The Venture Brothers and is a spoof of the Voltron series by the Robot Chicken team. It's set on Titan's moon and they travel across the solar system fighting one of their former team members gone supervillian.

    I agree with Thursday night, 30 Rock is always the first show I watch. Kenneth is just too cute!

    Go Team Venture! #house

    I'm 60% sure they'll explain it, and maybe is an excersize in futility even asking this but....

    Wasn't Peter Petrelly on NY and Matt on Texas when he got shot? Why are both in the same hospital? #house

    Okay, I admit that "The Vampire Diaries" is my guilty pleasure for this fall season. And while it is full of angsty teen melodrama (Kevin Williamson after all) I don't find nearly as insipid as "Twilight." At least in this show the vampires, you know, actually kill people or change them into other vampires.

    And every time I see the name of that SyFy "Fire and Ice" movie, I'm reminded of how sad it is that we don't have a movie/series based on G.R.R. Martin's awesome epic. At least the first three books anyway. #house

    It's been said before and will be said again, but please put me in the all-caps House-is-not-sci-fi camp.

    Although, if they marketed it as such, that would be awesome, because then it would be canceled. #house

    Thats some good news right there. But has anybody seen or mentioned the new Clash of the Titans film!!! Im not sure if io9 has run a feature and ive missed it like an idiot. Or everyone is avoiding the innevitable backlash! Personally I think it looks great, even if it has overtones of 300!!!

    turns out the first 2 hours of the prisoner will air on AMC from 6 to 8 PM tonight followed by the new episodes. fortuantly they're running the same gag on tuesday so anyone who wants to watch house at 8, like me, can just watch 4 hours of the prisoner tomorrow night instead. i think i still might record it either way since, in my opinion, the only annoying thing about the show is the constant and repedative commercal interuptions. #house
