And the King or Queen of the jungle is .... don't worry, I won't spoil the answer on the first page of the post! You'll have to click through to know more and comment on the results.
I've started watching
I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! from mid-week 2 and was sucked in immediately as I usually am with most reality TV series that revolve around surviving in new and unfamiliar surroundings. I must say I was quite impressed with Lou Diamond Phillips from the start. I loved his leadership qualities and his helpfulness towards his "junglemates." He is one of the main reasons why I watched the remaining episodes and even caught up with the week 1
Speidi drama! Was I glad that they ended up leaving for good after all the drama and quitting/coming back!
Want to know who was named King or Queen of the jungle after surviving 24 days in a Costa Rica jungle? Click ahead!

(S04E02) "I think you should both get in the suitcase and mail yourself home." - The Hoff to two "dancers" who used a suitcase to hide one of them as part of the actAfter last night's season premiere of
America's Got Talent, some of the
TV Squad readers chimed in with comments to let us know that they didn't like Nick Cannon much as host. At first, I thought he wasn't that bad, yet not that good.
After reading your comments and paying closer attention to him tonight, I must agree that he is not that good and that the camera focuses way too much on his off-stage, not-that-interesting reactions when it should focus on the performance. Let's hope he improves in time and that the writers give him better lines than those we heard Jerry say over and over again in the past seasons.

As it's been speculated in the last months,
Scrubs will not be the same when entering its ninth season. We know that Zach Braff and Sarah Chalke have
both inked deals to appear in only six episodes and that, since Donald Faison's pilot wasn't picked up, rumors were going around that
Scrubs 2.0 could revolve around Turk and medical school.
Confirmation has finally arrived and the show will indeed go through an extreme makeover that will take the action from the hospital to medical school.
Slight spoilers coming up!Continue reading Scrubs goes back to school

Are you ready for Jay Leno's new show? NBC is going to make sure you are.
The network is
starting to air little snippets of Leno every night at 10. They've already started, and soon they won't be just quick hits they'll actually be small hints of the monologue that Leno will do on the show every night. NBC wants viewers to get used to Leno being on at 10PM now.

If you haven't heard,
Liam Neeson and Bradley Cooper might be in the big screen A-Team movie. I can certainly picture Cooper in Dirk Benedict's place, and I guess Neeson could make a good Hannibal, though he wouldn't have been one of my top choices. But how about Murdock, the crazy team member played by Dwight Schultz? Who could play him?

already premiered, such as
Burn Notice,
So You Think You Can Dance, and
The Listener). A poll can only be so long, so if you're show isn't listed let us know in the comments.

So I'm watching
Today this morning, and J.D. Hyman from
People said that Jon Gosselin told him that he'll end the show the minute that the kids don't want to do it anymore. And I thought to myself,
that's exactly wrong. Shouldn't Jon (and Kate) be making the decision? These kids aren't 18, they're all under ten (some as young as five)!
What do you think? Let us know in the poll after the jump.

Breaking News: Bravo is changing their slogan. For the past several years the tag line has been "Watch What Happens," but
the network is giving an overhaul to its brand and now the new slogan will be "By Bravo." That's going to take some getting used to, if you're the type of person who watches Bravo and has to get used to things.
Here are some other slogan ideas Bravo could have used.

So Conan O'Brien takes over
The Tonight Show tonight, and I was wondering, what are you going to watch tonight? Conan? Letterman?
Nightline? Something else?
I'm going to assume (if I may be so bold) that a lot of people are going to be watching Conan tonight. Not just old fans of
Late Night or even fans of
The Tonight Show. I bet there will be a lot of David Letterman fans watching and maybe even people who don't regularly watch late night television.
Tonight is an institution and a lot of TV fans are going to be interested in seeing what exactly Conan is going to do on his first night.
I'm going to predict here and now that he'll thank Jay Leno (unlike Leno, who didn't thank Johnny Carson on his first show). So what are you going to watch?

Last night was the season premiere of ABC's crazy game show
Wipeout. I have to admit that it's one of my guilty pleasures. I ignored the show on its first run but started to watch repeats on Sunday afternoons and grew to like the show. The play-by-play is often annoying and I don't know why the contestants have to be so trash-talking and cocky, but it's fun. The new season has new obstacles for people to get through to the $50,000, and I think co-host Jill looks a bit different (though still hot!). What's your take on this show?

I'm not sure if people were given just a select group of celebrities to choose from or they were allowed to choose anyone they wanted, but a new
poll conducted by Ipsos Public Affairs says that more Americans would like to share a rental home with Kelly Ripa this summer than any other celebrity. After Ripa came the Obamas, then Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Oprah, Jon Stewart, and Stephen Colbert.
That would be a great reality show though:
Vacation Home. With those above guests? I'd watch that.

So
Kris Allen beat Adam Lambert by a ton of votes last week. You knew there would be a controversy, right? This one is based around AT&T. Seems they might have pushed the results toward Allen by having their reps at parties organized by fans of Allen and teaching them how to "power text," which apparently means sending 10 or more text messages at once.
The New York Times has all the details.

So William Shatner says he hasn't seen the new
Star Trek movie yet. But he says that he knows it has gotten some great reviews and he's really looking forward to seeing it. He also says he'd
delighted to be in the next movie.
So what do you think? Is having Shatner in the next movie a great way to please old
Trek fans or do you think having yet another character from the original series would be pushing it, considering they already had Leonard Nimoy in the first one (which is pretty much how I'm leaning)?

Your TV is filled with burning debates that demand a serious answer.
Could the Dick York "Darren" kick the ass of the Dick Sargent "Darren," or vice versa, and without Samantha's help? Could KITT beat the car from
My Mother, the Car if
Top Gear's James May was driving him? Does anyone watch
The Cougar and if so, is TV Land holding them hostage?
So here's another flaming question to throw on the mystery pyre: do you actually let your TiVo play its trademark sound effects?
