Last Spring we were thrilled to speak with Patrick Warburton, star of CBS' "Rules of Engagement". As the show was shooting episodes for this season, we were invited to the set to see how the show gets put together and for a chance to speak with Warburton's co-stars Adhir Kalyan, Oliver Hudson, and Megyn Price.

TV Junkie: 'Damages' Season Finale; 'SNL' Griping
Somebody please confirm for us that they also thought the Ryan Phillippe/Ke$ha edition of "Saturday Night Live" was a bit of a chore to watch. Certainly, the Shake Weight DVD commercial was very funny (see embed at end of post), but the rest, other than some moments during Weekend Update, felt somewhat lacking. What did Phillippe contribute other than a pretty face - and doesn't Ke$ha's "Your Love Is My Drug" sound more than a little derivative of "Tik Tok"?
TV Junkie Interview: Patrick Warburton - 'Rules of Engagement'
Believe it or not, we've been watching Patrick Warburton on TV for over 20 years. From a bit part on the venerable series, "The Paper Chase", to Elaine Benes' perfect counterpoint, David Puddy, on "Seinfeld", to the ultracult fave "The Tick", Warburton has been a reliable source of comedy and entertainment in a wide range of shows and roles. Currently Warburton has been making us laugh as Jeff on CBS' "Rules of Engagement" which is in the midst of its fourth mid-season run on Monday's at 8:30pm. We had to admit that it's taken us a little while to warm up to the show but it now seems to be much more mature and dramatically improved than even just last season. Warbuton fills us in on what he's been doing and why your Monday's at 8:30pm should be devoted to "Rules of Engagement".
TV Junkie: Top Gear's Project Sipster; 'Cupid' Returns
Our friends over at BBC America's "Top Gear" have really done it - they have achieved unprecedented success with "Project Sipster": the creation of a car that gets 84mpg , goes from 0-60mph in 7 seconds, and whose cost was to be $7000 or less. You can see more in this video. Suck it Tesla and watch "Top Gear" on BBC America tonight at 8pm.
