CURRENT BLOG TOPIC: TV Appearances Page Now Online

CURRENT T.W.O. INTERVIEW: Kaleb Nation Interview

TV Appearances Page Now Online [11/28]: A little early, but T.W.O.'s TV Appearances page is now available to view online. On this page, you will be able to find out when the cast from featured shows and movies will be on talk and other shows. For example, if you head to the page right now, you can see that Patrick Dempsey will make an appearance on Sunday's Extreme Makeover, while Jennifer Hudson will be on Monday's Oprah. December will see the airings of both Jennifer Hudson's and Carrie Underwood's holiday specials; those types of shows will be listed as well.

Glee Page? [9/21]: A poll is up on the right side of this page, asking you if there should be a page for the new Fox TV show 'Glee' on TV Watch Online.

Idol-Talk [4/8]: Check out the TV Watch Online BLOG for the latest Idol-Talk, where I comment on each performance on American Idol.

TV will never be a serious competitor for radio because people must sit and keep their eyes glued on a screen; the average American family hasn't time for it.

-Author Unknown, from New York Times, 1939

"If you surveyed a hundred typical middle-aged Americans, I bet you'd find that only two of them could tell you their blood types, but every last one of them would know the theme song from The Beverly Hillbillies."
