This looks interesting… another brain-teasing show from ABC – and it’s nice to see that RTÉ will be airing it here!
FlashForward looks like it’ll be the new LOST, with it’s first season running alongside the last season of the iconic island show and with ex-hobbit and LOST star, Dominic Monaghan now on board to take up a regular cast slot too!
(From Wikipedia-) A mysterious global event causes most people to simultaneously experience, for two minutes and seventeen seconds, his or her life six months in the future. When it is over, many are dead in accidents involving vehicles, aircraft, and any other device needing human control. Everyone who survived is left wondering if what they saw will actually happen.
Getting to this late… as Jim Carroll of the Irish Times says, “it’s a busy afternoon in Montrose”…
Ryan Tubridy has revealed some plans for the Late Late Show – the owl will return, the set will be different, the new theme tune is “a very exciting mystery” and there will be a “house band”.
RTÉ’s new season has been announced, with highlights including the aforementioned all-new Late Late, “The Frontline” with Pat Kenny, “Podge & Rodge’s Stickit Inn” – a quiz game show, “Does God Hate..?” with *cough* Marian Finucane (wonder will she "do a Louis Theroux" and talk to the WBC 
), and a whole bunch of movie ‘premieres’. September should be interesting on the tellybox!
and… most prominently as far as I’m concerned, John Clarke is stepping down as Head of RTÉ 2fm. I can’t say I’m disappointed by this. I always liked the guy but I feel that 2fm has been somewhat frozen in time recently, while under his control, and needs a shot in the arm – which is possibly best provided in the form of new blood at the top with new ideas.
There’s plenty of rumours flying around at the moment (although there’s nothing concrete that I’ve seen) regarding another major programmes/presenters reshuffle for RTÉ Radio – which is supposedly due to happen next week. Watch this space. Jim Carroll is wondering whether Clarke will make the “wholesale, seismic changes the station needs” before leaving or whether he’ll leave that task to his successor. There’s more discussion on Clarke’s departure on radiowaves and boards.ie.
On a personal level, I wish John the best of luck in whatever he decides to do!
They are the Onion, and they know what’s foremost in everyone’s mind. Nevermind Obama’s administration, nevermind the recession, – the one question everyone is wondering about … Are reality shows setting unrealistic standards for skanks?
The debate rages on…
(Oh, mind you, there’s a brief Obama mention at the end…)
Didn’t see this classic Saturday Night Live sketch the first time around (almost 9 years ago) and I don’t remember the phrase “gotta have more cowbell” getting into the ‘zeitgeist’… but am heartily laughing my ass off now at it… and now you can Cowbellify (yeah, it’s a word…) your own MP3’s at MoreCowbell.DJ.
So, eh… yeah! Enjoy!
Found it funny the other day when sending texts that my purple phone (which ISN’T GAY, David!) didn’t appear to have the word “crunchy” in the dictionary but DID have the word “Heineken”.
Anyway, here’s a few photos I took with said phone in recent days:
