how jib jab keeps me from getting my work done...

Yeah, I know I should be working, but Jib Jab sent me the new High School Musical animation slash advertisement and I couldn't miss the opportunity to dance and sing with Zach Efron, could I? The fact that I'm old enough to be his mom is only slightly creepier than the size of our heads in the video below.

tina fey as sarah palin is too funny

I didn't watch SNL this past weekend, but I did see the Sarah Palin/Hilary Clinton sketch. How freaking hilarious. If you haven't seen it, watch it below. Palin is sooo easy to mock...she seems more like an SNL creation than an actual politician (mother/moose hunter/maverick).

By the way, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are so fabulous together. I'd watch them in just about anything.  Also, wouldn't it be great if Jack Donaghy started dating Governor Palin (played by Tina Fey, of course) on 30 Rock this year?

not excited for fall tv season 2008

I know the new Fall TV Season is just starting in dribs and drabs-- but I have to say that I'm already bored. My favorite shows at the moment are Mad Men and John and Kate Plus 8.  I'm not terribly excited about any of the new shows on the schedule (I'll check out the much-hyped Fringe, of course). And other than 30 Rock (and Lost which is months away) there are no returning shows that I'm dying to see. There are very few shows that I'll watch on a regular basis or even bother to even DVR.

Is it just me or does this seem like the lamest -- least hyped -- fall season of all time? Makes me nostalgically miss those cheesy network promos from yesteryear. Watch below and remember how easy it used to be to entertain the masses.
