The chat will start 15 minutes before the episode airs. Check TV Squad's front page later tonight for the recap post; the chat link will be posted there. From the looks of ABC's promos, "The Shape of Things to Come" is going to be action-packed. A lot of ground needs to be covered by the season's end. The first eight episodes introduced a lot of questions about the fate of the 815ers.

The chat will begin a few minutes before the show starts and can be accessed via the link in the recap post. The recap post will hit the front page around the same time so check back then if you'd like to join the conversation.
Seriously, what else are you going to be watching tonight? Come join the chat and let your opinions be known in real-time with like-minded Big Brother fans. What could be better? I promise to bring the beer if you guys bring the slop.

(S10E20) So, here we are. After ten seasons as the longest-running, first-run American science fiction program Stargate SG-1 is finally coming to end. Well, at least as a first-run series since there are a number of direct-to-DVD movies in the works. Also, technically, it's the official end for only us late-as-usual Americans, since the finale aired already in other parts of the world. And, hey, while it hasn't been as hyped up as the series finale of The Sopranos, there are still many, many people who are extremely sad to see it go. Including myself.
To celebrate this momentous occasion, we're going to have a chatroom live for all of you to join in on as the show goes on and share your theories, reactions, and opinions in real-time. Shortly after the finale you'll be able to read a review of the show here. You can read the review after the jump. And, the chatroom is still open to express your opinions and feelings on the series finale.
You can enter the chatroom here.

I wanted to try something a little different tonight during the third season finale of
Battlestar Galactica. Rather than do a liveblog, I thought I'd try a live chat during the show.
I'll have tonight's review post up at 10 PM Eastern time, though at first it will only have a link to a chat room where you can discuss the episode as it airs. Later in the night, I'll update the post with my review and possibly a few highlights from the chat (if I can pay attention to both at the same time!)
Hey, if this first chat's a success, we'll consider doing more of them. So make sure you drop on by!

Unless, like me, your typing fingers turn into thumbs around brainy, sexy women, this Sunday August 6th at 9 p.m. Eastern you can join
BuddyTV for a live chat with
Jacqueline McKenzie -- NTAC Agent Diana Skouris -- on
The 4400.
McKenzie also recently appeared as the wife of one of the William H. Macy's characters in the
Nightmares and Dreamscapes episode:
Umney's Last Case. You can ask her how she likes Vancouver, or whether she thinks the writers will give her a new romantic interest, now that she's dumped the kind-but-unsuitable Marco (I think Agent Diana prefers badder boys).

Who would have guessed at the beginning of the season that it would have come down to Katharine and Taylor? Many people tagged Taylor as a sure thing early on, but I doubt many would have expected young Ms. McPhee to make it this far. Come join me and the rest of the
American Idol fanatics tonight as we chat live during the show. As with all of our chats, you must have AIM or a compatible chat client (Trillian, GAIM, etc), once you have that, meet
back here to this very post at 8pm ET, and that's when I'll unveil the location for our super secret chat room. See you then!

Ok, so I screwed up last week and said that it was a Michael-centric episode and we got some answers. Turns out last week was more about Mr. Eko, and we only got more questions. Well, tonight is definitely a Michael episode, and we definitely learn more about him and Walt. Make sure you you join me here tonight so that you can voice your own opinion.

Here's the thing, I haven't heard one person not convey at least some form of total shock over
last week's dismissal of Chris from the show. Most of the time those sentiments are quickly followed up with "I'm never gonna watch the show again" or "Did you hear about how the phone numbers were screwed up?" or "There's no one worthy on there anymore." You know what though? There has been such a stink about it this week, I'm predicting that
American Idol will have their biggest show thus far tonight. Come join me and the rest of the

Whoa, I'm not sure about you, but after last week's episode I felt physically exhausted. That's the kind of
Lost I'm talking about. The rumors are we're actually going to be getting some answers tonight as it's a Michael-centric episode and his flashback will deal with his time with The Others.

There are only a few artists that I just can't imagine a talent search singing, one is a group of four guys from Liverpool, the other is the King of rock'n'roll. Even when the most talented performers of the show's history have taken on one of these, I've cringed to myself a little. An entire night devoted to Mr. Presley is going to be rough.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, we're finally
there-- the end of the season. This has been a rocky season for
Lost, many wondering if it's been able to live
up to the hype it generated last year. Personally, I think it's been better than the first. The stupid schedule is what
killed the momentum and flow of the show. Make sure you you join me here tonight so that you can voice your own
opinion. As with all of our chats, you need to have AIM or a compatible client (Trillian, GAIM, etc). Once you have

Pickler's gone! I'm not nearly as torn up about that as I would have imagined I would
have been if I knew that 3 months ago. She came across as way too ditzy and not nearly as innocent as we had all
originally thought. Plus, I've heard she's absolutely hell on wheels in real life. Oh and her singing yada yada yada,
but let's be honest, that's not what this competition is about. Come join me and the rest of the

We're down to the nitty-gritty on
American Idol -- only six contestants left.
This is traditionally the point where we really start to see a separation between those that can sing, and those that
can't. After Ace finally got the boot last week, Kellie shouldn't be too far behind. For those that were worried that
they were going to be singing Bocelli songs, don't worry, they're only working with the legendary singer as they
perform classic love songs. Come join me and the rest of the
American Idol fanatics tonight as we chat live
