http://static.tvfanatic.com/images/gallery/patrick-duffy-on-dallas_60x60

Everybody wants a piece of South Fork. Bobby for love. He wants to give it away to protect it. J.R. wants it for pride and John Ross simply for power and money.  "Hedging Your Bets" had everyone doing just that to assure that they'd get what they want.Bobby and Annie.  With Bobby's pain getting worse it was about time he told Annie.

We went hands-on with the ConnecTV app while it was in open beta earlier this year. Now the social TV app is officially, uh, official -- launching nationwide with backing from television's old guard.

But I recently spoke with Patrick Duffy (Bobby Ewing), Linda Gray (Sue Ellen), Josh Henderson (John Ross Ewing III) and Jesse Metcalfe (Christopher … [Read more...]

Review: A ROYAL AFFAIR transcends love and the period piece

To be frank, A Royal Affair is easily one of the best films I have seen this year, and there is little doubt it will end up in my top five. I say this with such conviction for a few reasons. Firstly, I love period pieces and all of the basic elements are not only gorgeously presented, but enhanced greatly by the layers of political, historical and dramatic truths in the film. Secondly, there is so … [Read more...]

Those late-night adverts for a steam-powered ab-crunching bagel toaster (just $ 400, plus $ 99 postage and packing!) will soon be much harder to resist, thanks to TiVo. The DVR maker has teamed up with PayPal to enable you to purchase goods with your remote control during the commercial.
