Backyardigans on Broadway

TIME's James Poniewozik takes on the stage version (!!!!) of Nick Jr.'s BACKYARDIGANS - TALE OF THE MIGHTY KNIGHTS. (The sad part is, I TOTALLY agree with him re: Austin and the fact that there are really "characters" on the show.)

My favorite bit from the original:




Flying V guitar solo!

Sabotage!

The writers' strike has certainly not made for great TV over the last two months, but it at least gave us this:



Which is AWESOME.

Men of the Scarlet and Grey

Holy cow, how did I miss THIS?
Presented four days before the Ohio State Buckeyes take on the Michigan Wolverines at Ann Arbor, HBO Sports will present its first college football documentary, Michigan vs. Ohio State: The Rivalry, which debuts Tuesday, November 13 (10:30-11:30 PM ET/PT), exclusively on HBO.

One of the greatest rivalries in all of sports--Michigan vs. Ohio State in college football--is examined in this documentary. Featuring interviews with well-known grads, players and coaches (including the late Bo Schembechler, in his final interview) along with rare footage, the film chronicles every aspect of this amazing annual clash that began 110 years ago.
Which was last night.

It's on HBO all this week, apparently, so SET YOUR TIVOS! (Thanks to Chris DeVille for reminding me...)

Also, despite last week's... little setback... not to mention this minor problem... this is a HUGE game. Given the late-season loss to Illinois, probably the biggest game the Bucks will play all year. And you know how much I love Michigan Week.

A Question

Anyone out there on the internets got a Joost invite they wouldn't mind throwing my way?

Yes, this is a shameless request with no hope of being fulfilled.

Vote Early and Often, for a Brighter Tomorrow

Ha.

But no hidden "Easter Eggs" that I could find, which is kind of disappointing. Seems like it wouldn't take much effort to throw something to the fans, a la Oceanic-Air.com (which appears to have gone the way of the dodo, sadly -- I can't even get the Wayback Machine to cough up an old version.) Or was that the first step in the Lost Experience alternative reality game, and HEROES is not quite so adventurous or ambitious?

We should do a big-time TV post soon, but for right now:



If you're not watching 30 ROCK, start.

I Love the 80s, Too...

...but somehow, I think 80s pop culture repository RetroJunk might have gotten taken in on this one:

the adventures of desmond tutu and butros butros gali Show Info

Show Type: Animated
Country of Origin: UK
