The proof, as they say, is in the pudding but the current word out of the Led Zeppelin camp is that the group (co-founders Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones, as well as new drummer Jason Bonham) don't much feel like waiting around for Robert Plant anymore and will take to the road without him. Jones also stated that this new singer will not simply be a Plant sound-alike, in order to avoid seeming like a tribute band.  So the big question is: ... Read on, Daddy-O

There is certainly no shortage of awful commercials out there these days.  At best, most television ads are instantly forgettable; at worst, they me diving for my remote like it's the last slice of pizza.  But I want to focus on the positive today - commercials (or whole campagins) that actually make me stop and watch, and in some cases are more entertaining than the shows they're interrupting. The King (Burger King) I've made no secret of my love for all things Kingly.  I ... Read on, Daddy-O

Truly these are great times to be alive, my friends, for we have walking among (amongst?) us mortals two men of such legendary accomplishments, that to even utter their names is to inspire greatness. I am speaking of course about David Michael Hasselhoff and William Alan Shatner. And while we are lucky in that we would never have to choose between the two, I thought I'd take a minute to compare the careers of these two titans to see just ... Read on, Daddy-O

The ... Read on, Daddy-O

Ah, what a glorious day it is today!  And why, you ask?  Because today is the day we mortals celebrate the anniversary of David Hasselhoff's birth of course!  David Hasselhoff is, as you may already be aware, one of the three most important figures in history - the other two being William Shatner and the Burger King. So happy birthday and a hearty huzzah to you, you big ol' talking car-driving, paunch-sucking, no shirt-wearing, surreal music career-having, mediocre TV movie-making, floor cheeseburger-eating lug ...

Next to the NFL Draft, the most exciting administrative period of the television year is when the networks announce their upcoming schedules (known in the business as Upfronts). Sad, I know, but true. But before I turn my astute analytical skills on next year's new shows, I'd like to take a moment to remember the fallen. Some canceled shows are undeserving of their fate; they are taken off the air before their time thanks to a fickle fan base or clueless ... Read on, Daddy-O

If ABC's promos are anything to go by, you'd think the only shows on that network are Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, and Lost. But tucked away on Tuesday night is a wonderful show that has been toiling in relative obscurity for three seasons - Boston Legal. Well perhaps obscurity is a bit strong. The show has been nominated for and won many industry awards (Outstanding Single-Camera Sound Mixing for a Series, baby!), and was recently renewed for ... Read on, Daddy-O
