The Videos That Made Us Love Videos: The MTV Newsroom Poll

9 July 2009 11:00 AM, PDT | From MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news

Welcome to the weekly Newsroom Poll, where we will give you a sneak peek into the lives and minds of some of the correspondents, writers, editors and producers here at MTVNews.com. Every week, they’ll answer a poll question that will reveal some of what we talk about behind the scenes here in the newsroom. Enjoy!

One of the recurring themes that came up during this week’s Michael Jackson memorial was the idea that the video for “Thriller” was such a huge event that it not only made people love Jackson but love music videos as an art form. Everybody who works here at MTV News had that moment at one time or another — the one where music videos suddenly became the greatest thing in the universe, even if for a short time. Which brings up this week’s poll question: What music video was the one that made you love music videos?

DVD Playhouse--July 2009

DVD Playhouse—July 2009

By

Allen Gardner

Do The Right Thing: 20th Anniversary Edition (Universal) Spike Lee’s groundbreaking fable about race relations in an ethnically mixed Brooklyn neighborhood during a sweltering New York summer remains as potent, timely and prescient as it was in 1989. Lee is among the cast, which also includes John Turturro, Danny Aiello, Samuel L. Jackson, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, and Rosie Perez (to name a few), that provide the tableaux-like framework for this stunning work. Criminally ignored by Oscar (it wasn't even nominated for Best Picture, but did garner nods for Supporting Actor Danny Aiello and Lee’s screenplay), it endures as a timeless classic. Also available on Blu-ray disc. Bonuses: Commentary by Lee, Ernest Dickerson, Wynn Thomas, Joie Lee; Documentary; Deleted and extended scenes; Featurettes. Widescreen. Dolby and DTS 5.1 surround.

Review: ‘The Cleveland Show’

3 July 2009 1:00 PM, PDT | From The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news

Well, we all knew this day would come. When something pure and excellent in the world of animated comedy would eventually get tapped in an attempt to make more money and multiply. It happens with the best of things: Macaroni and Cheese becomes Spider-Man Shaped Mac and Cheese, iPhone brought on the Gphone, and Family Guy brought on American Dad (which isn’t all that bad) and now The Cleveland Show. One of these things are still great (looking at you, web-shaped macaroni), but sadly the rest come across as poor knockoffs, and truly miss the point, especially the spin-off about Peter Griffin’s affable-yet-slow neighbor, Cleveland Brown.

Mike Henry, who writes for Family Guy and voices Cleveland, is now leaving the show, and taking his voice with him. With Seth McFarlane as one of the hottest and highest paid TV writers in Hollywood today, Fox was easily talked into

Merlin’s Ratings Continue to Slide (But the News is Not All Bad)

29 June 2009 6:26 PM, PDT | From thetorchonline | See recent thetorchonline news

Ratings for this week's episodes of Merlin, NBC's prime-time retelling of the King Arthur legend, fell even further from last week's lackluster American debut. The ratings for the show's first two episodes, which aired a week ago Sunday, averaged 5.35 million viewers, with a 1.35/4.5 rating share in the coveted 18-49 demo (meaning 4.5% of that demographic's members were watching TV at that time, and 1.35% of them were watching Merlin). Two more episodes aired this week, and preliminary data suggest that only about 4.27 million viewers watched them, with a 1.0/3 share in the 18-49 demo (though these numbers, based on same-night viewership, will almost certainly be adjusted somewhat upward as viewers who recorded the show watch it later). These are ordinarily terrible numbers for a broadcast network show, but not only is overall viewership always down in the summer, the broadcast networks have been seeing an overall decline for years, and the decline seems

Comic-Con TV Panels Galore This Year

29 June 2009 8:30 AM, PDT | From The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news

According to Variety, this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, which runs from July 23-26 at the San Diego Convention Center, will see an ever greater TV and network presence then in years past. Networks and studios plan to showcase even more shows than ever at the con, making it more and more into an invaluable promotional tool where Hollywood can publicize new shows to the 126,000 fans who head there each year.

Positive reaction to early footage seen in San Diego can generate strong buzz across the Internets that could make or break a show well before its debut. And now that we have Twitter, the buzz can build almost immediately.

Here’s what some of the studios and networks will be bringing to San Diego this year:

* Warner Bros. is bringing 11 shows, the most ever for the company. These include new shows Eastwick, Human Target, Past Life, V and The Vampire Diaries,

Vanessa Minnillo and Topher Grace 'together'

Nick Lachey's ex-girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo and actor Topher Grace have reportedly been seen together. The former MTV VJ and Grace were seen at Family Guy creator Seth McFarlane's private house party dancing and kissing, reports Perez Hilton. An unidentified source said: "We saw Vanessa and Spider-Man 3 star Topher chatting. Topher then started rubbing her arm, and Vanessa whispered in his ear and they exchanged phone numbers. "Before long they were on the dance floor and putting the 'dirty' in dirty dancing. Vanessa took off her shoes and held (more)

DVD Review: Family Guy Volume 7

27 June 2009 2:44 PM, PDT | From BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news

If the hearing the name Seth MacFarlane doesn’t immediately ring a bell, you’ve been living under a very heavy rock for the past decade. MacFarlane has transformed himself into a self-made living legend by taking over the world of prime time television with irreverent adult-themed cartoon humor. In May, two great Seth MacFarlane animated treasures came home to DVD: American Dad Volume 4 and Seth MacFarlane's Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy. June brings home another animated gem, Family Guy Volume 7. Family Guy Volume 7 revisits the fictional town of Quahog, home to the bumbling Peter Griffin, his wife Lois, teenage daughter Meg, son Chris, diabolical infant son Stewie, and the well-mannered talking lush of a dog Brian. The DVD features 13 episodes from Family Guy Season 6 and 7. Family Guy, notorious for poking fun at pop culture, features jokes on “Lost,” the song “Bird is the Word,” “Indiana Jones,” George ...

Weblink Wednesday: PigTones.com – Custom Voices For Your Gps

24 June 2009 12:00 PM, PDT | From The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news

With the number of Gps owners in the country growing at a substantial rate, more and more people are trying to do cool things with their navigational devices, from downloading custom avatars to now custom turn-by-turn voices and points of interest.

P.I.G.Tones, The Politically Incorrect Gps, is, according to their website, “a software company that offers Garmin and Tom Tom users the ability to download cool, funny, and irreverent new voices to their devices, replacing the boring standard voices that come with the units.”

Voices range from Stewie and Peter from Family Guy, to “The Governator”, Sean Connery, Homer, Cartman, and a slew of hilarious others. Granted, these aren’t licensed, which means you won’t get Seth McFarlane doing the official voices of Stewie or Peter, but the impression is pretty spot-on.

Not only does the site contain politically incorrect voices, but some great Poi (Points

Merlin Draws Lackluster Ratings

22 June 2009 6:55 AM, PDT | From thetorchonline | See recent thetorchonline news

Merlin, NBC's heavily-promoted effort to bring high fantasy to American prime-time, seemed to draw lack-luster ratings in last night's two-hour premiere. In the Nielsen overnight ratings, an imprecise number that is often adjusted significantly before "final" ratings are issued, the show drew 5.9 million viewers (a 1.5 share in the coveted 18-49 demo) in the first hour and 4.9 million viewers (a 1.3 18-49 share) in the second hour. Of the five broadcast networks, the show came in second at both 8 Pm (losing to a rerun of the The Simpsons), and 9 Pm (losing to a rerun of Family Guy, which drew almost twice as many viewers). Merlin's relative failure with viewers may be particularly bad for the show's prospects as all of its competition in both time-slots (except for a TV movie on the CW) was reruns. NBC's previous attempt at prime-time fantasy, Kings, which premiered in March on the same night, was considered an outright bomb,
