1. The Obvious- My parents and sister are the most important people in the world to me. They support me in every boneheaded endeavor I partake in, and believe me, there are tons. It's astonishing how many, actually. 2. My friends. Once again, totally obvious. Once again, they're totally awesome. Much love to Porter House, SLC, Shalhevet, AU, and everyone who fits into all, some, or none of those categories. World rockers, each and every......

8:00pm Prison Break FOX - This is a show for teenage boys: enjoy the season premiere kids. 9:00pm Most Honorable Son PBS/KCET - Bio of the first Japanese-American war hero. 9:00pm K-Ville FOX - Series premiere. I much prefer Anthony Anderson as a villain (Antwon Mitchell from "The Shield") rather than a cop. It's a cop series, but set it New Orleans, post-Katrina, but the question is whether or not it will truly leverage......

A Word or 73: LA, get ready for your dirty underbelly to be nauseatingly exploited as the sixth season of The Shield gets underway tonight. There's a bit more room on the dial after, thank god, the following shows got the ax last week: The Wedding Bells (Fox) which was truly awful, Six Degrees (ABC) another bad one, 7th Heaven (the CW) which I don't even know about and The Black Donnellys which was......

Yes folks it that time of year again when people make lists of the top whatevers that did something, didn't do something, inspired them, made them laugh, cry, sick or any number of other things. For better or worse, I'm no different and am caught up in the whole list thing. So, I will be providing a list of my own for your enjoyment, distraction, derision or otherwise perusal. My list is the top-ten......

by Jen Collins, aka Kitty Bukkake Lately all I really want to do is watch DVDs, and right now I'm living on "The Shield." Maybe you've watched it too--it's a cop show set here in Los Angeles, somewhat based on the Rampart scandal, and stars Michael Chiklis, whom I immediately took a shine to because despite playing an LA cop, he retains the lingering brogue of a former Masshole like myself--he's from Lowell, Massachusetts.......

If you happened to catch The Shield's season finale last night, then you can skip this post. However, if you happened to miss it, and it is waiting for you patiently on your Tivo, then run, do not walk, over and watch that thing. We're dying to talk to anyone about it (and we don't want to give away any spoilers here), and all we can say about the ending is: holy crap. It's......

No donuts for five officers and 14 others caught in a home-robbery scheme that lasted for more than two years. The nineteen posed as cops conducting raids; the crew was led by former LAPD officer and Golden Gloves boxer Ruben Palomares. Thomas O'Brien, head of the criminal division for the U.S. attorney's office in LA, told the LA TImes, "While this story sounds like a script from 'The Shield' or 'Training Day,' it actually......

There were some stories we missed this week, like the same-sex marriage ruling, the return of our favorite show based in Los Angeles, "The Shield" or the murder at Locke high school amongst others but what can we say...we were at SXSW! Here's what we did catch: - We found our own little Hobbit Hollywood in Austin. - We explored g-d's web presence. - We tried to figure out if we are ever going to......
