There's A Penguin on the Telly

Here are some of the many reasons I was breastfed from The Glass Teat.

If you love Sidney Bristow and her weekly assignments designed to make the world safe for democracy, then you've come to the right place to discover all the behind-the-scenes intrigue which makes Alias one of my favorite shows. Besides, the sight of Jennifer Garner kung-fu fighting the bad guys in those saran-wrap outfits is the most exciting thing to hit "guy TV" since Emma Peel retired her leather leotards (see below).

David K. Smith's brilliant site (The Avengers Forever) is the ultimate stop for fans of one of the finest shows ever to hit the airwaves. Everything you could ever hope to know about the show and its stars is in here. Be forewarned, once you get hooked, you'll never want to leave! "We're needed, Mrs. Peel."

Let's see...It's 1966 and we're in a town called Hooterville, populated with local yokels that include a sleazy salesman (Mr. Haney), coed twins named Ralph and Alf (Ralph's the girl), a farmer (Fred Ziffel) whose "son" (Arnold) is a pig that predicts the weather, a lawyer named after a US Supreme Court Justice (Oliver Wendell Douglas) and his Hungarian wife whose "hotscakes" prop up the furniture and whose coffee is so thick, it can be used to repair cracks in the road. Seems someone's been smoking thems green acres more than plowing them.

Monty Python's Flying Circus

You know the name, look up the website. Making the world safe for idiots! Ooh, me brain hurts!

"Who is Number One?"
"You are, Number Six."
"I am not a number, I am a free man."

And with that, The Prisoner, one of the cleverest shows in history was off and, er, running.

Son of The Beach is the show that put the boobs back in the boob tube. This Howard Stern executive produced laugh riot is just about the funniest show ever to air on US television, with more memorable one-liners and double-entendres than Python! Check here for some clips. "Ride the big one!"

When I was growing up, I had the biggest crush on Marlo Thomas and That Girl was my favorite show. Now you, too, can relive all the wonders of Ann Marie and Donald Hollinger.

Fans of TV theme songs will love browsing this site, which also includes sound clips from many old favorites.
This site is probably the best place to start looking for info on all the current TV shows, including ratings, rumors, raves and rants. Indispensible!

Competition sometimes can be a good thing. Although The Futon Critic (above) covers much of the current TV line-up, this site also offers detailed info on past favorites. Cast info, episode guides, trivia, bloopers, classic dialog - it's almost like being there. Pull up the comfy chair and enjoy!

A good cross-section of gossip and fact to keep up with all the latest comings and goings on your favorite TV shows.
