TV Junkie: From Bourdain in Naples to May in Scotland - GastroMondayTV
Anthony Bourdain takes his "No Reservations" to sample the delicacies of Naples, Italy and James May drives up to Scotland for rounds of whiskey in "James May Drinks To Britain" - and we're on board. --- We take issue with "The Wrap" taking issue with the first 2 eps of this season's "Curb" just because last night's ep was so fantastic. --- All this and the TV Junkie Must-Watch Plan.
TV Junkie: Scotch for Christmas & On TV; 'Web Soup' We Hardly Knew Ye
We went to an incredible Master Class tasting of The Macallan highland Scotch and had the chance to talk to Graeme Russell, the brand ambassador, about who in TV enjoys Scotch - check out the video.

Word has it that G4's "Web Soup" show is no more according to one of the show's writers. That's a shame because the show was much more topical than "Tosh.0" - a key difference between the two, and shouldn't there be enough room on TV for more than 1 web video clip show?

You can check our listings but there's virtually no new primetime programming on - late night, however, has some great choices, particularly on Conan and Fallon.

Father's Day Gifts at the Wine and Liquor Depot in Van Nuys
So it's time to pick a present for dad. If joke banks that fart when you deposit a coin aren't dad's thing, a classy present like some special single malt scotch might just do the trick. Dad will enjoy your present for months or at least weeks. You can pour a glass together and toast the summer night. If you were a challenge to raise, a nice bottle of scotch can pay dad back for his hard work and patience.
