Secrets of “The Real World” Cast Contracts
When I was in high school, I remember watching MTV’s “The Real World”, and wondering how long MTV had the cast under contract. Since they all seemed to appear with regularity on various MTV reality shows, I assumed it was because it was a requirement, and not because they truly loved being on MTV. As [...]
Music Diary Notes: MTV Turns 30 … What is YOUR Favorite Music Video?
MTV Launched 30 years ago today, on August 1st 1981. Over the decades, the music video art form has changed in some ways yet remains a product in service of a song. The channel itself has become somewhat of a joke in many ways, as in the late 1990′s the ‘music’ part became a minority [...]

Nielson Study Shows How Teens Interact with Media
It is amazing to look at the image above and realize that reflects the top TV shows the year that seniors graduating high school this month were born!

GD Quickie: Twitter Guest Stars on “Grey’s Anatomy”
It’s a bit shameful, but I still watch “Grey’s Anatomy”. It’s my soapy guilty pleasure! I settled in last night to catch up on last night’s episode, and was surprised to discover that surgeons using Twitter was a big part of the storyline! I won’t spoil it for you, but I will say that even [...]

VIZIO’s 65″ Theater 3D™ Razor LED™ HDTV is Lust Inducing
One of the first things Kevin and I bought for our new house was a 55″ VIZIO LCD HDTV from Sam’s Club. I’ll admit that we were a little bit nervous about purchasing a VIZIO, because we had not heard much about the brand, and the only places that we had ever seen them were [...]
Review: Monsoon Vulkano Deluxe Pro
I spent a large portion of the summer building a nice deck just outside my back door. Once it was finished we would sit out there under the bright Texas stars and I would tell my wife I needed a way to watch sports out there. My WiFi is full strength on the deck, but [...]
Guess Who Buys More LCD TVs Than The US? Nope … Try Again … Sorry …
It is Russia. That is right – the same Russia that was in economic ruins for the entirety of the 90′s and most of the new millennium. For contrast, in the US flat panel TV sales are stagnant in terms of numbers, and plummeting in terms of dollars according to recent reports: In terms of [...]
