From where I live I can see the Hollywood Sign every morning and it never gets old. I still get all giddy every time I see it. It’s iconic. Imagine looking towards those hills and NOT seeing it. That would change the entire emotional landscape of the area. This Thursday, the Hollywood Sign is going dark.more

Seth is truly amazing.  He has been visiting us since the first season of Family Guy. He remains so generous with the character voices.  We all need to support his benefit at the Gibson Amphitheater to support Haitian relief. Get details and tickets here for It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia Live / Family Guy Live “A Special Benefit for Haiti”.

He left us saying he would come back “any time”.  What do you all think, maybe we should have him back again next week! Every wonder how he does all those voices? Watch him record them after the jump.

Jack & Meg sound really ticked off that one of the commercials that aired during the Superbowl yesterday took extreme liberties by ripping off their song, “Fell In Love With The Girl.”

Read their strongly worded letter and see the offending ad for the Air Force Reserve after the jump. more

Many experts and the public alike have chosen the “best” Super Bowl commercial for this year. Even though the ad had been around for some time it was a good move airing it again yesterday, on what turned out to be the most watched television show in U.S. history!!! Sorry, M*A*S*H* (whatever that is.)

See it after the jump and see more of this year’s best commercials here. more


The TV show LOST airs Tuesday nights this season so I was going to wait until tomorrow to post this awesome video. But if I do that, I know KROQ’s Nicole will beat me to it. Hmmm, it seems like women always finish before I do.

What if LOST were conceived and produced back in 1967, instead of 2004? You gotta see this very cool video, after the jump. more
