Thursday night, Saturday Night Live had a special half hour Weekend Update. Very funny stuff. The highlight for me was Seth and Amy’s analysis of Kanye West’s behavior at last Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards.
Sorry to see Matt Giraud go home tonight. However, his performance of “Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman” was just not good enough. I still like Chris Daughtry’s version on American Idol 3 years ago.
UPDATE: ok, I jumped the gun. Looks like the vote was 3 to 1 to keep Matty around another week. Now that the judges used the save, from this point on, the contestants, who are all good, must be prepared to go home each week.
Charter will no longer carry KMOV-TV (Belleville News-Democrat)
[the comments on BND are pretty good]
St Louis television station and Charter at impasse (St Louis Post Dispatch)
This doesn’t really bother me all that much. We watch KSDK/NBC for our news. The only time we watch CBS is to catch Survivor or Amazing Race (although I’ve kinda watched How I Met Your Mother in recent months). So when it comes to time to catch these shows, I can pick it up over the air (using the new digital converters as of Feb 9, of course). Otherwise, not my loss. At least, not unless Charter caves to KMOV and starts charging an additional body part to the arm and a leg that I’m already paying for to get their services.

Biden and Palin on SNL
This is the closest I’ll get to blogging about politics. Tina Fey returned to Saturday Night Live last night to join Amy Poehler for a hilarious opening skit on SNL’s season premiere. Fey is perfect as Sarah Palin, and Poehler has always done a great Hillary Clinton (and she didn’t disappoint last night). If you missed it, click below to check it out.

With the writer’s strike in full swing, here’s a little something for Jack Bauer fans … 24: The Unaired 1994 Pilot
This series should’ve ended midway through the 2nd season. With that being said, putting Michael Scofield in the Panamanian prison Sona (along with Agent Alex Mahone, Captain Bill Bellick, and fellow fugitive T-Bag) has put a new spin on the premise of the show. The odds are against Scofield, given he knew exactly what he was going to do at Fox River. In Sona, there are no guards and no rules. Should be a good season.
