I’ve been getting emails from readers for nearly 2 years now asking various “industry” questions. None more frequently than this one. “How do I read and understand Nielson ratings?” As a result, and to appease your curious minds, allow me to help you out with this. A Nielson rating may look like this: 8pm – [...]

It takes all the good story telling of Law & Order and mixes it with a very cool style in the vein of CSI (the original, not the two scumnificant spinoffs). The show is JUSTICE and if you aren’t watching, you’re really missing out. Justice is a legal drama that follows a trial from the [...]

TVgasm has obtained photos purporting to be the final moments of Steve Irwin and, in fairness, a stingray’s tail. Initially, I had decided not to publish the photos since they are likely fake and I will look the fool, and if they are real, I’ll look like an asshole. Not unlike getting into a fight [...]
