Remember When Bobby Brown Mattered?new
Brown is so desperate for TV exposure he'll giddily air his nasty laundry (Being Bobby Brown), or compete to make it as a country singer, as he's doing on CMT's upcoming series, Gone Country.

'Wired Science' Wowsnew
Chris Hardwick of Singled Out fame is not a scientist, a journalist or even legitimately nerdy, which is why he's such an odd choice for host of PBS' new newsmagazine-style show from the folks at Wired magazine.

Sarah Silverman, Devastatingly Cute and Vice Versanew
In the first two second season episodes, Silverman's character takes a joyful trip down memory lane reliving her past abortions, sympathizes with a guy who had to give up crack and rigorously defends her right to lick a dog's anus. It's sick, stupid, brilliant and the bravest sitcom on TV.

'The War' Is Swellnew
Ken Burns's WW2 documentary seeks to impose truth on the legend. Still, the specifics of WW2 have been such a closely guarded (Greatest) generational secret that you want him to say more.
