More Demand Than Supply for Digital TV Converter Coupons
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: HDTV, Home Entertainment, Misc. Tech,
The conversion to digital TV is less than 2 months away, so if you stashed your coupons in a drawer somewhere, they have probably expired. Apparently there is a last minute rush as the Department of Commerce says there are simply not enough available. They are hoping that Congress will allow additional funding.
“Once the obligation ceiling is reached, the program will hold coupon requests until funds from unredeemed coupons become available,” said Meredith Attwell Baker, acting asst. secretary for Communications and Information at the National Telecommunications and Information Administration. There are about 60 models out there to choose from, but without the coupon, you will pay between $40.00 and $90.00.

Achy Breaky Reality Show
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Comedy, Kids, Music, Prime Time, Reality, Cable,
Who would’ve thought that “Achy Breaky Heart” singer and mullet wearer-extraordinaire, Billy Ray Cyrus, would ever make a comeback? With the starring role on the series Doc on PAX TV, a handful of guest appearances and now, most notably, a role on Hannah Montana, Cyrus is officially back. And he’s not just riding daughter Miley Cyrus’ coattails now. He’s taking his return to fame and running with it—with a new reality series, of course. Cyrus is working with CMT to develop a reality show that shows his life as a musician and dad. The show, titled Billy Ray Cyrus: Home at Last, doesn’t seem like it will be nearly as entertaining as Being Bobby Brown, but I’m sure he’ll tap into loads of fans on Country Music Television. Plus, viewers will get a behind-the-scenes look at daddy getting ready to tour and Miley/Hannah getting set to tour. The show will debut on November 24th at 9:30 p.m.

LOST: D.O.C. - David’s Top Five of Awesomeness
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Prime Time, NBC, Lost, Editorial, Features,
So, yes, loyal Internet pals, I’m back. What, you didn’t know I’d gone anywhere? Double what, you don’t even read the names of the authors of these articles? My bad (But you should check out, for example, Veronica Santiago’s Top Model recaps, which are very good. Also, my stuff is uniformly awesome). Anyhow, I (that would be, David L. Williams) am back from my wedding and honeymoon, which where perfect and wonderful. Also wonderful? Both events happened in the central time zone, aka the place where I can once again watch “Lost” at 9pm. Now that I’ve returned to NYC, however, I have to suck it up and stay up a little later. But I’ll deal.
Lost, I’ve noticed, has been taking some hits in the press lately, and here are my two thoughts about this: “Shut” and “Up.” Then again, maybe all of the negative press will drive away the casual viewers who complain to me on Thursday morning that “they really didn’t answer anything,” and when I explain how they’re wrong they’ll say, “Oh, really? I missed a few episodes last month, so I didn’t understand what that one part meant.” Lost should have always been a cult show, but it somehow tumbled its way into accidentally being a hit show, which is good because it means it won’t be cancelled, but bad because, well, because of the people I just mentioned. Anyway. Lost is still head and shoulders better than anything on network TV and every week each episode has at least five awesome things about it (except for the week when Hurley found the van because … what the hell, dude?), so I’ve decided to take it upon myself to list these five awesome things after each episode. Ready? Okay!
