Fox is going all the way with The Mindy Project, picking up the freshman comedy for a full 22-episode season.

Additionally, the network has ordered six additional episodes of fellow rookie Ben and Kate, bringing that sitcom’s Season 1 haul to 19.

Oh, I get the strategy now, Fox is canceling all the good shows and picking up really awful shows instead. If you need any proof of just how bad this show looks, I offer you this trailer (caution, possibly offensive references, particularly one toward the beginning when Mindy is “praying” about the type of man she would like God to bring her……

Looks like we’re headed into some good old fringe science territory in the upcoming episode of Fringe.

With Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog airing tonight on The CW, it seemed like an appropriate time to post this teaser trailer from four years ago.

I mean it’s just good fun.

What would happen if electricity suddenly stopped working? I don’t mean what if it went out, I mean, what if electricity simply didn’t work anymore? Think of how many things that would affect. That would be almost everything in our world. Almost everything uses electricity is some way or another.
