In the news today, the 2018 Winter Olympics have been awarded to Pyeongchang, South Korea. Add to that the building excitement for many that the 2012 Summer Olympics in London are just a year away, as well as the impending anniversaries of the Olympics being held in Los Angeles this month, and, well, it's your video lunch. more ›

Iran is protesting the abstract date logo for London's 2012 Olympic Games claiming the numbers spell out the word "Zion." By contrast, we said it looked like Lisa Simpson on her knees in 2007 when it first debuted. more ›

We are already suffering from Olympics withdrawal but we will forge ahead and catch up on as much TV as we can - look for our Olympics summary tomorrow. Today, check out our fan video (above) of The Roots playing Olympic Plaza last Thursday - hopefully Jimmy Fallon will show some of that great show tonight at 12:35am since he was there to get the crowd pumped up before they went on. more ›

Gary Bettman is an idiot. The commissioner of the NHL is threatening to prevent the league’s players from participating in the 2014 winter games in Sochi, Russia because the NHL has not received any bump in interest or revenues due to Olympic exposure. more ›

The Border War rematch was everything that was anticipated and more. The first gold medal game to go to overtime since the Swedes defeated the Canadians in Lillehammer in 1994, the scrappy US team just fell short losing 3-2 7:40 in the overtime period. After being outmatched by the Canadians for most of the gold medal game, the US pulled Ryan Miller from goal to gain a man advantage and got a score from Zach Perise with 25 seconds left in regulation to tie the game 2-2 while behind the Canadian defense. more ›

We're watching a lot of Canadian TV up here at the Olympics and while it does have its own problems with some spotty commentary, the wall to wall coverage is impressive. Since we're not able to watch NBC it was with interest we read today's AP summary which included comments from Universal Sports exec Calude Ruibal who states that NBC will be bidding for the rights to the Olympics beyond the 2012 games - say it isn't so! more ›

We captured some of the Devo show at Whistler Medals Plaza for you that was broadcast live in Canada but not the US. We hope to get into the Roots... more ›

We're in Whistler at the Olympic games (we'll be posting vids and pics this week). Tonight we'll be checking out Devo and Chromeo who will both be performing for free as part of the celebration - performance that you won't be catching on NBC but that you would see on Canadian television. more ›

Weekend Edition While some in the press are faulting the Canadians for glitches in the Winter Olympics, Canadian television will be breaking even or turning a profit on their broadcast of the games despite showing 3-times the footage that we're seeing on NBC, which is the network that says it will be losing $250 million on these games. more ›

We can't believe how incredibly psyched we are for the upcoming season of "Yo Gabba Gabba!" which starts on March 8th (10:30am on Nickelodeon). Featured guests in the first week alone include: Sarah Silverman, Weird Al Yankovic, Black Kids, Jack McBrayer, Paul Scheer, Weezer, Anthony Bourdain, Of Montreal, Mos Def, Devo, The Aquabats, Mark Mothersbaugh, and of course, Biz Markie. See Anthony Bourdain as a "doctor" in the above video. more ›

So far this week the Olympics have only been beaten by the trite duo of "American Idol" and "The Bachelor", thus putting NBC way ahead of all other networks in terms of ratings. more ›

TV fans, the Paley Center for Media's PaleyFest, February 26th to March 14th, is upon us, giving you the chance to see panels of cast and show creators from: "Modern Family", "Lost", "NCIS", "Community", "Dexter", "Cougar Town", "The Vampire Diaries", Seth MacFarlane, "Breaking Bad", "Flash Forward", "Men of a Certain Age", "Glee", and "Curb Your Enthusiasm". more ›

In 1892, psychologist William James wrote: "So we have the paradox of a man shamed to death because he is only the second pugilist or the second oarsman in the world. That he is able to beat the whole population of the globe minus one is nothing; he has 'pitted' himself to beat that one; and as long as he doesn't do that nothing else counts..." more ›

Other than the tragic death of Georgian luge rider Nodar Kumaritashvili, how do you think the 2010 Winter Olympics is going? Please give us your comments. We're very much enjoying seeing the world's athletes come together in Vancouver, but here are some things we've noted about the broadcast available in the good ol' US of A: more ›

Tonight the Winter Olympics begin and we're not about to tell you which event to watch and how to watch it. Your best bet is to go to NBC's Olympic TV Schedule to figure out which carrier you have and what you'll have access to. As someone who doesn't get Universal Sports with their Time Warner package, we're pretty PO'd... more ›

The news is out that the Super Bowl was the most watched program ever and that the remnants of The Who are the most embarrassing senior citizens ever. Viewers were also generally very unimpressed with the commercials that ran during the show and while a lot of people think "so what" let's not let them get away with that. more ›

We've been writing about the shitstorm that is now late night television at NBC for over a year now and it give us little pleasure to say "I told you so". We pointed out NBC's lack of commitment to Conan by still keeping Leno as a "safety" at 10pm, a move that has cost the network millions of dollars and viewers. The proposed schedule of 1/2 hr of Leno followed by Conan's "Tomorrow Show", then Jimmy Fallon at 1am is ridiculous. What is this power that Leno has over NBC? more ›

If you mention that at age 51, you still do a handstand everyday, as did Bart Conner in this 710 ESPN Radio interview recorded at Morton's Steakhouse in Downtown LA, you just might feel the urge to take off your jacket and show, not just tell. And you just might be joined by fellow '84 Olympians Peter Vidmar, Mary Lou Retton and even Greg Louganis in some handstands of their own. more ›

If you're near the Coliseum on Saturday night and see the Cauldron lit up, fireworks in the sky, and Mary Lou Retton, Edwin Moses, and Rafer Johnson walking by, you're not in a time warp. But you can wear your aviator sunglasses -- just in case. more ›

From Culver City to the West Valley, police officers will be supporting the Special Olympics today in a torch relay from the Westside and South LA through Hollywood and across the south rim of the Valley. It's all for a good cause--raising money and awareness--but it will cause traffic. more ›

2008 was a year where TV saw viewership decline for at least the 8th straight year. We saw even more film stars make their way to basic cable (USA, TNT, TBS, FX, etc.) to star in their own series and we saw the big three networks make even more forays into the realm of cheap reality TV at the expense of scripted programs. more ›

So, get this. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Chicago Mayor Richard Daley just made a friendly fun bet. If the Dodgers win the playoff series against the Chicago Cubs (the first game is going on right now), Chicago will hand over their 2016 Olympic bid that we lost. And if the Cubs win, Chicago gets to take LA Times owner Sam Zell back. more ›

SoCal native Kim Rhodes, 29, who has won four medals at various summer Olympic games for double trap and skeet shooting, found herself a victim when her custom made shotgun she used in the games was stolen yesterday. more ›

LA Dodgers defeat San Diego Padres 6-2. Andre Ethier keeps on feasting on those fastballs. In the eighth inning with the Dodgers down 2-1 and Russell Martin on second, Ethier drove a ball out to left field for a game-tying triple. Then with the bases loaded in the ninth inning and the Dodgers leading 3-2, he hit a bases-clearing double that was barely fair down the right field line to give the Dodgers a 6-2 lead. Dodger's starter Hiroki Kuroda was shaky in this outing but managed to give up only two runs on nine hits and two intentional walks. Ethier helped Kuroda's cause by throwing Adrian Gonzalez out at the plate on a Chase Headley RBI double in the third inning. What doesn't Ethier do? With the Diamondbacks losing the Dodger's magic number is down to 16. more ›

This weekend concludes NBC's broadcast of the XXIX Summer Olympics which has had some very enjoyable moments, not necessarily enjoyable because of NBC, but it's not like we had a lot of choice. Who knows what moments we missed in the countless events that were not broadcast, who knows what sports would have piqued the interest of Americans, if only they had exposure to them. more ›

"No one's ever done it," exclaimed SoCal native Misty May-Treanor after becoming beach volleyball gold medal champions for the second time in a row (remember Athens?) today. Congrats, girls! more ›
