Week End TiVO Report

"My Name is Earl" is dark, twisted, innocent and sweet. It also seems to be getting better.

"The Daily Show" Thursday crapped on Dick Cheney's head with their "Jackass Jackpot," in which all of Dick's dangerous and irresponsible Iraq war talk was showcased for all to see. And I had to LAUGH when I watched CNN debunk the White House talking points in detail on "The Situation Room." Apparently they ain't safe from Comedy Central or CNN. Oh well.

The obscene product placement on this week's "Smallville" was preposterous. The "Superman Returns" trailer aired during "Smallville" was swell, mythic and cool. Bryan Singer just might get it right.

South Park was brilliant, a magnificent debunking of Scientology so funny it hurt, especially when Tom Cruise went in Stan's closet and wouldn't come out no matter how many people asked him to "come out of the closet." There's also a possibility that South Park might bring down the Church of Scientology, which would be super cool too.
