Downgrading Uverse
I recently decided to downgrade my AT&T Uverse services. Before I downgraded, I had the top tier TV package (with all channels, HD, and all movie channels) and the top tier internet package (18mb). I...

Let's Talk About TV
You all know that I love TV. In fact, I love it so much I created a new site dedicated to all things TV. I present to you Let's Talk About TV. There are still things I am tweaking, but I decided to ma...
How I use Twitter
After reading Owen's post about Twitter Influence there was a brief discussion in the Habari IRC channel about who people follow and why. One part of the conversation was about celebrities. One person...
Why Louis CK Matters
Really great article about Louis CK and his hilarious new show Louie and how he's not afraid to tackle issues that people who look like him have traditionally shied away from.
TV in the Summertime
It's no secret I am a fan of TV. I love it. I love (almost) everything about it. I love the acting, directing, stories, and scenery. There has always been one time of year where I (and my DVR) get a b...
Hulu Plus
Hulu has added a subscription service. Not sure how successful it will be at $10 a month when content is limited and it will by no means replace traditional television subscriptions. Netflix's Watch I...
The PS3 as a Media Center
Since I purchased my PS3 several months ago, I have come to the conclusion that it has been one of the best electronics purchases I have ever made, behind switching to Macs. Even though I'm not much o...
The Lost Finale
I am a huge fan of the TV show Lost so it's probably no surprise that you're reading a post regarding the finale that aired this past Sunday. What did I think of it? I loved it and I hated it. I loved...
Conan is Moving to TBS
Surprising news broke today that Conan O'Brien's show will be moving to cable's TBS. A lot of people, including myself, were shocked by this, especially since news broke late last week that negotiatio...
The Harmony One
For my birthday I asked for Best Buy gift cards because I really wanted to get a Universal remote to control my new TV, receiver, and PS3. I decided to get the Harmony One from Logitech. I got it and...
The Problem with the Entertainment Industry and iTunes
I have way too many DVDs. They take up shelves and books and, in this day and age, a horrible way to store media. Ever since I got the ability to stream video files to my PS3 I've preferred to have di...
Leno's Numbers
Since I no longer own the domain teamcoco.com (thanks Conan!) I thought I'd post this news here. Now the latest numbers are out for "The Tonight Show" and they show Jay Leno winning the latest late-ni...
A New TV
Yesterday I bought a new TV from Best Buy. It is a Samsung 46 inch LED LCD TV and it is completely awesome. The thing that wasn't awesome was the buying experience. I purchased the TV (with a Sony Bra...
Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica
I just finished watching the excellent series Battlestar Galactica. Now I know what all the critical acclaim was about. This was a fantastic series. I would have to rank it up there with The West Wing...
On Sci Fi
I've never really been a big fan of science fiction movies or shows. I hated all the Star Trek Shows and movies (except the new one that just came out) and I hate Star Wars. It is an overrated crap mo...
The Golden Globes
I saw a lot of hate last night in my twitter stream regarding The Golden Globe awards. Many of the people I follow thought that James Cameron and Avatar should not have won for Best Director and Best...
Team Conan: I'm with Coco
[caption id="attachment1452" align="alignleft" width="194" caption="image courtesy imwithcoco.com"] [/caption] In the late night debacle that NBC has created I'm siding with Conan. I think it is a hug...
Leno and Conan
During the 1990's and early 2000's I was a fan of Jay Leno on the Tonight Show. I think he did a good enough job, though his interview skills were highly lacking. I saw Letterman as an old person late...
What Happened to Network Television?
There used to be a time when network television was good. Sadly, it seems that time is fading quickly. Sure, you have a few gems here and there. Take a look at Modern Family this season. It is doing q...
An Open Letter to ABC in Regards to Defying Gravity
Dear ABC, I know we haven't been on the best of terms lately. I've hated you since you make us wait so long for new episodes of Lost. I get mad at you for not heavily promoting the really funny Better...
