    Riches on FX
    Watching TV is considered by some to be a sign of low intellect, lack of purpose, too much idle time, waste of time, laziness, etc etc. I have to agree that most of what is telecast is pretty minimal in content and value.

    Superbowl Oscars for Commercials
    Everybody has to say SOMETHING about the Superbowl, because even if you can’t make sense of the game or could care less, the great national common denominator is the commercial break between plays. Or is it plays between commercial breaks? What ARE they doing on the field while the rest of us are watching ads? Anyway, if you are really into the ad thing, MSN.com...
