The half dozen things that TV Squad readers - and TV fans in general - will be talking about this week. A new feature every Monday.
1. The Lost season finale. Spoiler: they're all robots! (Thursday at 9 on ABC)
2. The Sex and the City movie. I don't see why this show needs a new movie (on the big screen anyway), but I'm sure there will be a bunch of people who go see it. Warning: movie theaters don't sell martinis so you'll have to wait until after the movie. (Starts this Friday)
3. Battlestar Galactica. Yup, some of the biggies still have new episodes (Friday at 10 on Sci-Fi).
4. The new reality shows from Denise Richards and Dina Lohan. I started to cry a little when I wrote that sentence. (Starts tonight on E!)
5. TV fans in a holding pattern. We're in that weird time of year, after most of the season finales have aired, and we're waiting for the new summer shows (Burn Notice, Mad Men, Californication, Law and Order: CI, etc) to start. Go outside and eat a salad, or whatever it is that healthy, TV-less people supposedly do.
6. Moment of Truth returns. This was the #1 new show last season. And it's all your fault. (Returns tomorrow at 8 on FOX)
The "liberal bias" of the media we hear so much about was called into
question recently with a study released by Media Matters which claims that Sunday morning political shows such as
Meet the Press, Face the Nation, and This Week tend to have more conservative
guests than liberal. Of course, some are arguing against the study. NBC argued that during Clinton's term in
office there were also slightly more Republican guests on Meet the Press. The point, I suppose, is that it's
not necessarily dictated by who's in office. Also, there's the question as to who's really conservative and who isn't,
especially when it comes to centrists like John McCain and others. My advice? Tune into The McLaughlin Group,
a show where everyone is equally a raving lunatic, no matter their political affiliation. Or, go to the zoo and watch
spider monkeys fighting each other. It's pretty much the same either way.
