America's Got Talent: Audition show 1

America's Got Talent
(S04E01) "This place is absolutely barkin' mad." - Sharon about Seattle

This year's season premiere of America's Got Talent was about the same as last year's and the previous one: same montage of bad and good acts, instant reactions from the host backstage, the same type of comments from Piers, Sharon and the Hoff, and the last act being one where the contestants have a touching story and are great performers.

The main difference was the change in host -- Nick Cannon took over for Jerry Springer -- and the fact that a contestant, whose act was singing and playing guitar, decided to profess his love to The Hoff! That was probably the highlight of the entire two-hour premiere.

Why does that reality show contestant look so familiar? - VIDEO

the amazing race mike whiteJust when you thought everyone you knew, ever, had endured their 15 minutes on some reality show, you've been hoodwinked. It's no longer just the lady in accounts payable who you spotted on Cheaters or your brother's friend whose family appeared on Wife Swap. These days, it's low-profile celebs, too, who are seeking a 16th minute, and no longer exclusively via humiliation on VH1.

NBC wants you to make their new Office t-shirt -- cheap bastards!

Your t-shirt design may end up on a rack at the NBC store in the very near future.Do you have a flair for design? Do you like television? Would you like to use your talents to do something television-related that doesn't include you being a contestant on Project Runway, where you'll eventually start crying at some point? Well, NBC may be the right place for you! Because they're so strapped for cash right now they are looking to their viewers to help design some of their new merchandise.

Specifically, they are looking for some new T-shirts for The Office. All you have to do is download the T-shirt template that NBC is providing, select a shirt color, create and save the design as a photo, and upload it to the Office website by January 29th. Visitors to the Office website will judge your designs and pick twenty of the best. It will then be up to the producers of the show to pick the three winning designs.

Pushing Daisies: Comfort Food

Shotgun Lil(S02E08) "I declare an emotional snow day." -- Ned to Chuck

A really good episode of Pushing Daisies is something like a really good slice of pie: perfectly balanced in taste and consistency, not to sweet, not too tart, nicely flaky and completely satisfying the way comfort food should be. To some, every episode is a delight, but not every one is the perfect slice. This one, to me, had it all. There was something for every character, a goofy murder, complications galore and Kristen Chenoweth singing.

As the last of the Pushing Daisies play out -- with slim hopes of a TV life beyond this season -- I can't help but find myself savoring every show. But enough about the future, let's talk about this episode. It was great to see Olive, Ned, Chuck and Emerson separated into two teams; Ned and Olive went to the cook-off, while Chuck turned to Emerson after a highly traumatic development. More on that after the jump.
