Be prepared

·

Prepare. Plan. Stay Informed. This is the motto listed on www.ready.gov, a Web site sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security. For those of you who have been neglecting your duty as Americans to fear anything and everything -- from your aunt's potato salad to WMD devastation -- this may be the first time you've heard: September is National Preparedness Month.

Game of hearts

·

What kind of ice cream best describes you? Which Disney character are you most like and why? What is your favorite sexually transmitted disease? What do these three questions have in common? They could be potential queries from an old TV favorite: "The Dating Game."

Curses! John Madden strikes again

·

Maybe it's the world we live in, but it's a little twisted to get more phone calls about Shaun Alexander's broken foot from my friends than phone calls on Rosh Hashanah from my family. Either way, you can forget about sanctimonious holidays for a second -- the supernatural was at work this week.

TV's Back -- can you feel it?

·

It's here, it's finally here: TV premiere week! Sure this summer had "Entourage" and Tim Gunn's stroke victim--like squeals of "make it work" to hold us over, but there's no better feeling than rejoining old friends and making new ones. My poor TiVo, I'm not sure if she'll be able to handle the overload of recording her master has thrust upon her. But how else to decide which new shows to get addicted to and which to cancel? Fortunately for you, I'm here to clue you in.

Imperial shrinkage

·

Beyond all others, two words apply best in describing Kasabian's Empire. These words aren't original, or witty, or bold -- but they are nonetheless true. And, ultimately, this reviewer can only call 'em as he sees 'em. So, what are these two words? "Sophomore slump."


The boys are back in town

·

It's hard to believe that four years have passed since the "Jackass" boys last graced movie screens with their outlandish stunts, but the boys are back, finally, with a new stable of even grosser, cruder and more death-defying gags to please their core audience.
