Best TV show idea EVER: Who wants to be a superhero? [via Andrew P.]
It's asinine that the Oscar acceptance speeches are trimmed to near nothingness. They're not what causes the show to run long. It's all the stupid montages. It's the constant commercial breaks. Let the winners speak! I wanted to hear the South Africa guy...
Fantastic real-life Simpsons intro [via waxy]
A showdown I've been waiting for: Andy at waxy has been served a cease-and-desist from Bill Cosby's lawayers for hosting House of Cosbys, a series of fan-made parody shorts. Andy has the balls and the brains to not just roll over, and he plans to fight this. In this age of psycho-IP laws and enforcement, this is the sort of thing we need to see. Go Andy!
Video: Sarah Vowell on The Daily Show. Vowell, regarding Bush's inauguration: "The failure of my pessimistic imagination at that moment boggles my mind."
Despite the presence of Bob Costas, NBC's Olympics coverage always sucks. This year is no different. It's maddening. I'm not the only one who thinks so.
Ah, here is a little piece of heaven: the Muppet Wiki [via fotw]
My favorite event at the Winter Olympics? Would you believe Ice Dancing? It's true. I love it more than any other event. It'll be on NBC three nights: Friday, Sunday, and Monday. I'll be glued to the tube.

Though I've never linked to it before (or even bookmarked it), epguides.com — an on-line repository of episode guides for television shows — is one of my most-used sites. It's indispensible.
Alas, one of Kris' favorites is coming to an end: The West Wing had been cancelled. Meanwhile, The Office just got picked up for a third season.
Haha! Body spray for sick cats, a short Family Guy clip
Yes, I know this meme is a month old, and yes I know that most of you have probably already seen it. Nevertheless, here is Lazy Sunday, the Chronicles of Narnia rap from Saturday Night Live. This really didn't hook me at first, but I've seen it so many times now that the song haunts me in my sleep. Seriously. This is a 6mb WMV download hosted locally. You may prefer the 2.2mb mp3 of the song. Enjoy! (More: wikipedia entry!, Andy Baio's neice and nephew perform the song, and Slate deconstructs Lazy Sunday as a rap song)

The latest Doctor Who series from BBC (which aired last spring) is coming to the SciFi Channel this March. I've watched most of the thirteen episodes and find them remarkably good while still remaining true to the older material. Check it out. [via aicn]
Turner Classic Movies' Hiyao Miyazaki film festival begins tonight and runs every Thursday in January. If you haven't seen his films before, tonight is a great time to start. Spirited Away is magical.

The Prisoner is set to return to television. I've never seen the original, which is a crime. What kind of geek am I?
NOOOO!!!! Arrested Development has been cancelled
Darren Aronofsky will direct an episode of Lost. Now that should be fun.
Very funny: if Fox News had been around throughout history — there are some great bits scattered here
