Fall 2009 TV Premiere Dates
Alright pop-culture junkies, the Fall premiere season is right around the corner, dulling the stingy pain of the end of summer with the warm embrace of freshly scripted escapism. Whatever flavor you choose, here’s a handy alphabetized list of what comes back when. Of course, this doesn’t cover non-network faire, like Always Sunny (9/17 on FX).
I’m looking forward to:
30 Rock (Season 4) October 15th NBC
American Dad (Season 5) September 27th FOX
Family Guy (Season 8 ) September 27th FOX
The Big Bang Theory (Season 3) September 21st CBS
The Office (Season 6) September 17th NBC
V (Season 1) November 3rd ABC
AT-AT Boom Box
The awesome of AT-AT Imperial Walkers and the retro cool of boom boxes combined into a Voltron of win.
John Turturro on the Origin of the Jesus
The Big Lebowski is the Coen Brothers at their comedic best, and John Turturro’s Jesus Quintana is one of many highlights. In the video above, Turturro talks about how the character of “The Jesus” evolved. A great example of the value of the informal environment in regards to collaborative work. Just remember, “Nobody fucks with the Jesus.”
Jonathan Coulton is the Nerd Rock King

Got a chance to check out Jonathan Coulton’s set at PAX and it was amazing. If you haven’t heard of JoCo, as he’s known in some circles, you may still be familiar with his work. Coulton penned the cult classic gaming song Still Alive, as well as many other great nerd rock anthems. Skullcrusher Mountain, an evil genius love-song, has recently be released on Rock Band with proceeds benefitting Child’s Play. Code Monkey is an eeriely accurate portrayal of the life of the young developer, at least in this developer’s experience. Hit the jump for a couple more videos.
