As you presumably heard, a couple weeks ago Tonight Show host Conan O’Brien fell during a race with Teri Hatcher, hit his head and suffered a mild concussion. The fall was played during a subsequent broadcast, becoming the latest but by no means the biggest celebrity head-bump. Super Punch provides some context with their listicle [...]

Until fairly recently, American network television was a pretty inhospitable place for characters (not to mention real people) whose sexualities deviated from the standard of heterosexual monotony. Now, though, the TV landscape is much safer for gay characters, and so Comedy.com is outing 15 Gay TV Characters Who Never Came Out, including, obviously, Waylon Smithers [...]

As you may have heard, recently, Fox announced its intentions to develop a television program based on the popular blog Texts from Last Night, which will be the most fractured and disjointed TV show ever, but might work in a trashy-beautiful-basket-cases-being-naughty kind of way. At any rate, pending that project, the good people at Complex [...]

Cartoons these days are pretty complicated–weird Japanese creatures, kids with dangerously spiky hair, a comic taste for wacky non-sequiturs. Things got so out of control that we stopped paying attention, like, two months ago. We pine for the simpler times of decades past, when shows were clearly terrible or brilliant (and never confusing). Most of [...]

Because sports and related fields (athletic gear and the like) are such big business, they often produce some of the coolest and funniest ads. At comedic end of the sports field, ESPN’s sports news show Sportscenter is probably the best. This makes Bleacher Report’s listicle of The 25 Funniest Sportscenter Commercials very entertaining. We especially [...]

Today is Name Your Car Day, a truly ridiculous occasion that we can only hope will soon be replaced by Name Your Bike Day (ours is called Kandinsky). In the meantime, though, we kind of appreciate the idea of treating cars like boats and giving them names, it makes something so hard and mechanical a [...]

Today is World Vegetarian Day (and, in related news, the first day of Vegetarian awareness month), and though all our pledges to go veggie over the years have eventually been undone, we really mean it this time. For inspiration, we’ll be watching plenty of movies and TV to draw strength from these Top 10 Vegetarian [...]

TV-themed tourism hasn’t quite taken off the way movie tourism has (an NBC Studios tour isn’t quite as entertaining as one at Universal Studios, for instance), but that doesn’t mean you couldn’t make a cool itinerary out of visiting familiar TV show locales that are actual places.
Super Tremendous’s listicle of 8 Iconic TV Show Buildings [...]

Pixar animator Angus MacLane, who’s worked on Up, WALL-E, Ratatouille and basically every project the studio has done since the 1997 Oscar-winning short Geri’s Game, apparently has tons of free time in between creating lush and textured digital environments. So much time, in fact, that he’s uploaded images of 97 Lego CubeDudes to his Flickr [...]

Though we recently regaled you with some of the most memorable newscaster bloopers, it seems unfair to single out media professionals’ pitfalls without highlighting some of the stresses they endure as well. For instance, Epic Carnival’s listicle of the 20 Strangest Moments in Newscasting History features some awesomely unlikely accidents, like uncontrollable reptiles.
