Last Thursday of new episodes lackluster
79104
The last big Thursday  with original regular programming was mostly a bust for such  shows as ABC's "Grey's Anatomy," CBS' "CSI: Crime Scene  Investigation" and NBC's "The Apprentice."

By Mark McGuire, Albany Times Union, N.Y.  Feb. 18--Soon, as in next season, it will be OK to miss your new favorite show for a week or two.   Critics watch a lot of television. Not a complaint, just a fact.

By Alan Pergament  It is deja vu all over again. Many of the pilots for the new television season -- especially on NBC and ABC -- are so good, that I'm having a "Lost"-like flashback to my first year as a television critic.

The new film by the Teja-Nitin duo lacks punch.

Tycho:   It has become the Saturday tradition to do the next strip upon the expo's stark and terrifying stage, but since Armadeaddon needed its proper epilogue it got moved out to Wednesday.  Gabe was highly indulgent of audience suggestions in the final version, far more than he is to me, adding many, many things based on them being called out from the microphone - he has a version with more additions still that he'll be putting up later today.  But there are things in there like the blue ball in the last panel - to say nothing of the official "Hot-Dog Fairy" merchandise! - that began as anecdotes and have now graduated to true PAX lore.

Tycho: Some of you have probably already heard it, since I put it up yesterday - but we're trying new hosting for the podcast, and I wanted to make sure everything made sense before I dropped it on the front page. The podcast is for Wednesday's strip, "The Ungift, Part Two." You can download it here, or subscribe to the feed here. The levels are a little crazy in a couple spots, for which I apologize. I think we've got those ironed out, now. (CW)TB

Tycho: The actual writing of this strip was fairly quick, but there's an extended tangent about The Club that lends heft. You can download the podcast for today's comic here, and (as always) get a jump on the official announcements by subscribing to our tender feed. (CW)TB

I find it hard to believe that people listen to any podcasts...I can't stand hearing our rambling for more than about 3 minutes

Dhol is predictable of Priyadarshan films. The film lacks originality and is funny only in parts. Music by Pritam too is impressinve.

There will be less  "Dirt" and "Riches" on FX's schedule this year. In a sign of  what's in store for TV series whose production was affected by  the writers' strike, FX has opted not to produce more episodes  for the two series' second seasons.

Tycho: The writing process for today's comic was recorded in its entirety, and we have uploaded this harrowing process as a podcast. If these 'casts are something you enjoy, you can probably get them earlier than the official announcements by subscribing to our ridiculously convenient feed. (CW)TB

Tycho: This podcast covers the writing process for today's comic (and a number of other tangents). Of course, it's entirely possible you had already subscribed to the feed and are currently listening to it. In which case, I apologize profusely.   (CW)TB

Is this a show that is more than a period piece, a work destined to outlast the era of its birth? I say, regretfully but emphatically, no.

Last year this time, "Heroes" was just another new show hoping to find some viewers. As everyone who owns a TV knows, it succeeded. Last season's top-rated freshman series, about a group of ordinary people with extraordinary abilities, now has fans scratching for second-season details.

Despite the Hollywood writers' strike, the big TV networks have more than a hundred episodes of scripted series ready to roll out over the next few months. The bad news for viewers: Few are fan favorites.

Bernanke's trip to the Hill Thursday will most likely be a letdown. Good thing.
