SOPRANOS: Gone For Good?

Liz Miller
Posted June 12, 2007

The final moments of The Sopranos have had the internet buzzing for the past forty-eight hours straight (beware, clicking on that link takes you to a SPOILER). But soon that buzz will die down, and what will we be left to discuss? The twists and turns of Pirate Master?

Fortunately, our friends at This Just In have a humble proposal. After all, who brought more fun and laughter into the back room of the Bada-Bing than good ol' Paulie Walnuts? And who can make fun and laughter even more magical? A whole day care's worth of kids! Just you wait, if you can, for The Walnuts. It's just like Joey!

Except, you know, successful? Well. We'll see.

SNL: The Dakota Fanning Show

We can't really think of a more precocious child than 11-year-old Dakota Fanning, who's so articulate and charming that she's... kinda creepy. The kid moves around without a trace of the insecurity or awkwardness that plague her peers, like a comfortable adult with a happy marriage, two kids and a paid-off mortgage under her belt.

Amy Poehler takes it up a notch by portraying Fanning as a literary name-dropping talk show host, spewing opinions about Michiko Kakatani and Thomas Pynchon like most kids rattle off thoughts about Harry Potter ("I'm not familiar," cracks Poehler.) Drew Barrymore joins in as the ebullient Abigail Breslin who actually, you know, acts her age.

We can only imagine the real-life Fanning's reaction to this snarky depiction of her sophistication -- a totally poised and gracious "thank you!"

MadTV Shows STUDIO 60 How It's Done

Liz Miller
Posted December 15, 2006

MadTV isn't exactly considered the West Wing of late-night variety shows, but when the guy who created West Wing steps on their turf, they certainly step up their game.

Studio 69 on Van Nuys Boulevard is a spoof so detailed it's almost creepy. Every bit is dead on, from the patronizing lectures (including a shout out to all our brothers who are "standing in the middle of Afghanistan") to the Amanda Peet-esque studio head who thanks the producer for saving America from the terrorists. Also like Sorkin's comedy, Studio 69's big climax (pun intended) isn't at all erotic or original!

Really, the great tragedy of this parody is that it's totally lost on the millions of Americans who have gotten fed up with watching the stick in Sorkin's ass spin, and now turn off their TV after that show with the superheroes to, I don't know, talk to their loved ones or study up on arcane Italian pantomime formats.

MadTV may only get a fraction of Studio 60's dwindling ratings. But as far as we're concerned, they get the last laugh FOREVER.

This sneak peak at Starveillance, a new half-hour comedy series from the creator of MTV's Celebrity Deathmatch, is a paparazzi-posing portrayal of Ashton and Demi's first date.

From the creators:

Starveillance takes a hilarious jab at celebrities and pop culture through claymation re-enactments of both real events and events that 'may' have happened. Picking up where gossip mags leave off, Starveillance gives viewers a fly-on-the-wall perspective on these wacky re-enactments, including marriage proposals, intimate bedroom arguments, off-camera antics and more.

The E! Entertainment Television series premieres in January but segments are available on broadband channel The Vine @ E! Online and select media sharing sites.
