Yes it’s true we have been posting nothing but television for the last several days but hey, it is Fall. Plus, tv takes the sting out of the hours we spend doing homework. It’s really like a homework chaser, a delicious shot of yum in a sea of lecture note filled binder paper. And with the help of Tivo we can be drinking by 8am.

Drinking by 8am doesn’t feel so bad when you’re not alone. For company, just watch our absolute favorite cocktail on the tube these days where they do it all the time: AMC’s Mad Men. It’s the best show on TV. And we just heard that it’s been renewed for another season. You must watch this show. The sets are phenomenal, it’s so fun to see all of the retro furniture clothing. Love it! Set in the 60’s the show follows a group of advertising executives who work on Madison Avenue and smoke more than we thought humanly possible. It stars Jon Hamm, John Slattery, Rich Sommer, Elisabeth Moss, and a particularly endearing January Jones. Try to catch it on OnDemand if you have it, original episodes air Thursdays at 10pm.

January Jones as Betty Draper, homemaker and wife of Don Draper.

Hotness, Don Draper

Have a look.

Episode 1 of ANTM at 8 and we can’t wait! We have turned into big time gambling types and are participating in an enormously complicated bet contest to see who can pick the winner. Our pick is Kimberly. Hopefully she isn’t an ass and won’t make us regret our selection.

Who’s your pick?

Cindy Lou Who is all grown up!

Taylor Momsen as Cindy Lou Who and as Jenny Humphrey in the CW’s new series Gossip Girl, based on the enormously popular ‘tween lit series.

She should eat a sammich.

What if non-celebrities, like us, had their own Emmy Awards? We’d get dressed in our finest ready to wear, roll out some resemblance of a red carpet and step in as self appointed paparazzi snapping who wore it better photos of one another. And then, in the most important contest of our non-celebretary (totally a word) lives: we would vote for each other in the categories of our choosing. Most Comical Parallel Parking Performance. Best Writing of a Grocery List in a Reality Show. Best Dramatic Performance in a Guest Starring Carpool role. An of course, Cutest Shoes. Essentially that’s what the Emmy’s are. Just some people who happen to be good at what they do and so they decided to sit around and tell one another how fabulous they all truly are. Oh and they’re ridiculously good-looking and you won’t find much ready to wear.

Except for this, the worst dress of the night:

Here are the winners from last night’s festivities. With commentary of course.

Drama: “The Sopranos,” HBO.~~Not surpising. In fact they should change the category name to Best Freakin’ Drama Evah.

Comedy: “30 Rock,” NBC.~~Tina Fey really knocked this outta the ballpark but Alec Baldwin is the frosting.

Miniseries: “Broken Trail,” AMC.~~ Never saw it but AMC rocks if for no other reason then the smoketasticly realistic Mad Men.

Variety, Music or Comedy Series: “The Daily Show With Jon Stewart,” Comedy Central.~~Colbert should have owned this.

Variety, Music or Comedy Special: “Tony Bennett: An American Classic,” NBC.~~ Saw him live once. He is the master performer.

Made-for-TV Movie: “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee,” HBO.~~In addition, should have won for Saddest Title of a Film. Ever.

Reality-Competition Program: “The Amazing Race,” CBS.~~ Note to Big Brother: Sitting on couches crying about how much longer you’ll get to stay in the house to sit on the couch is not Emmy award winining. So what! Big Brother rules!!!

Creative Achievement in Interactive TV: Current.

Actor, Comedy Series: Steve Carell, “The Office,” NBC.~~Duh.

Actor, Drama Series: James Spader, “Boston Legal,” ABC.~~Uh yeah, can we get a recount? Fughettaboutit, this award belongs to James Gandolfini.
Actor, Miniseries or Movie: Robert Duvall, “Broken Trail,” AMC.~~He seemed so kind and humble during his acceptance speech which made his win even more sweet.

Actress, Drama Series: Sally Field, “Brothers & Sisters,” ABC.~~Two words: Edie. Falco.

Actress, Comedy Series: America Ferrera, “Ugly Betty,” ABC.~~Delish!

Actress, Miniseries or Movie: Helen Mirren, “Prime Suspect: The Final Act (Masterpiece Theatre),” PBS. She’s in our top five best actresses of all time so you know how we feel about this. Second place would have to go to Gena Rowlands.

Supporting Actor, Drama Series: Terry O’Quinn, “Lost,” ABC.~~ Meh.

Supporting Actor, Comedy Series: Jeremy Piven, “Entourage,” HBO.~~How can we even write a pop-culture blog when we’ve never seen an episode of Entourage? Sacrilege, really.

Supporting Actor, Miniseries or Movie: Thomas Haden Church, “Broken Trail,” AMC~~Wings!!!!

Supporting Actress, Drama Series: Katherine Heigl, “Grey’s Anatomy,” ABC.~~Unlike 90% of the rest of the Country, we are luke warm when it comes to Ms. Heigl. What’s with the Big Love cast snub here?

Supporting Actress, Comedy Series: Jaime Pressly, “My Name Is Earl,” NBC.~~Uh negative, ghost rider. Elizabeth Perkins or Jenna Fischer should be holding that statue.

Supporting Actress, Miniseries or Movie: Judy Davis, “The Starter Wife,” USA~~The writing in this show kinda bugs us so we would have gone with Toni Collette.

Individual Performance, Variety or Music Program: Tony Bennett, “Tony Bennett: An American Classic,” NBC.~~Genius.

Directing, Drama Series: “The Sopranos: Kennedy and Heidi,” HBO.~~Reasons why this win rules: It’s the Sopranos, duh. And one of the writers is named Heidi. Plus the name Kennedy reminds of MTV circa 1985, you know, when it was still Music Television.

Directing, Comedy Series: “Ugly Betty: Pilot,” ABC.~~ Delish!!

Directing, Miniseries, Movie or Dramatic Special: “Prime Suspect: The Final Act (Masterpiece Theatre),” PBS~~Does Hellen Mirren even need directing?

Directing, Variety, Music or Comedy Program: “Tony Bennett: An American Classic,” NBC.~~What did you guys think of the Christina Aguilara Tony Bennett duet?

Writing for a Drama Series: “The Sopranos: Made in America,” HBO.~~ Maybe all of these Emmy wins will help spur the sparks of spin off. One can dream.

Writing, Comedy Series: “The Office: Gay Witch Hunt,” NBC.~~ Top 5 funniest episodes ever. Well done.

Writing, Miniseries, Movie or Dramatic Special: “Prime Suspect: The Final Act,” PBS~~What if the Prime Suspect writers contracted out to help revive some of the dead weight out there? CSI: Miami anyone? An audience can only stomach so much poolside perishing.

Writing for a Variety, Music or Comedy Program: Late Night With Conan O’Brien,” NBC. Our hearts belong to Letterman.

What did you guys think?

If you love Californication as much as we do, than this should make you happy. According to Variety, Showtime has renewed Californication, the sextastic look at the inner musings of a Hollywood writer done wrong played subtly and with tons of bad boy charm by David Duchovny.

7 Sexy Reasons to love Californication:

1- David Duchovny as Hank Moody the reluctant blogger for HellA magazine who frequently marinades in self loathing and gets more sex each week than Ron Jeremy did on an average work day in 1979.

2- Hank’s still pining for his ex-not wife, Karen played by Natascha McElhone and he breaks out his best jr high behavior to try to bring down her current relationship. All in the name of love, of course.

3- Dysfunctional Hank is an endearingly clumsy father who really tries his best to be a good dad to daughter Becca. Just look away during the awkward scenes where his prepubescent offspring finds herself face to face with Hank’s naked, post coital conquests. Becca is played by Madeliene Martin who gets the awkward crush laden teen role just right while chaneling her very best Emily the Strange look.

4- Hank Moody gets in fist fights. In book stores. Who does that? And who doesn’t secretly want to watch?

5- Sex. Lots of sex. No seriously, unabashedly frequent amounts of sex. Hot sex.

6- Not so blind item? You’ll find yourself wondering which “fictional” characters aren’t so fictional.

7- Evan Handler as Hank’s best friend and sharky agent. Remember Evan from Sex in the City? He brought sexy bald back and now he’s hanging around with Hank rocking the much more devious bad boy role quite nicely. Think The Secretary meets Jerry Maguire. We love it!

Are you sold?

How sad is this? Everyone and their mother is reporting that Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams are kaput. We always liked them together. They seemed kind of normal. Like the kind of couple you could have over for dinner and a game of Scattergories, as opposed to the kind of couple you could lunch with at Ivy at the Shore and then sit around complaining about the paparazzi. Well, they seem grounded enough to make the separation a workable one for Matilda.

Ew. Have you seen this Heineken commercial? If it were slightly funny or even remotely clever we might be able to overlook the crass and obnoxious tone of the ad. On second thought, no, not a chance. It is just bad. What is the implication here? Is the robotic creation supposed to represent the perfect woman? Multiple arms and a womb filled with the cold stuff. It really is grotesque. Comments?
