Demetri Martin Show Finally Happening
It’s been awhile since we heard much about Demetri Martin’s greenlit Comedy Central show Important Things with Demetri Martin.

The Dangers of Being a Guest Star
Seth Green and Breckin Meyer were on Monday’s Heroes in roles that were pivotal to the progression of the show’s flawlessly executed storyline.

Episode 6 – The Black Donnellys
A few years ago, Paul Haggis devised a show that sounded a lot like the Sopranos if all the characters were angsty tweeners. It got canceled almost immediately, and the remainder of its 13-episode purchase had to be shown online. Nobody noticed, so they released it on DVD. Still nobody noticed. So now we’re doing [...]
