Apple rolls out “Complete Season Pass” feature for TV shows on iTunes
Apple this week rolled out a “Complete Season Pass” feature on iTunes that allows users who have previously purchased individual episodes of a television show to purchase the entire season less the amount of their previous purchases. So, let’s say, you purchase the first 6 episodes of Parks and Recreation, you can purchase the remaining […]

Comments Off on Hulu Plus app for the AppleTV is reportedly ready to go, waiting go-ahead from Apple
Despite rumors over the past few months that Hulu was on the verge of being acquired, it appears that the streaming video site won’t be going anywhere anytime soon. So putting those tantalizing Silicon Valley rumors aside (remember when Google was reportedly going to bid a few billion for it?), 9to5Mac is reporting that a […]

Comments Off on SNL’s Seth Meyers makes crack against Kindle Fire
I was watching an episode of Lockup: Raw on MSNBC the other day – you know, the show that profiles inmates in prisons across the globe – and they happened to ask one prisoner what he’d do if he could do anything once released. Looking deadpan into the camera, the inmate said, “I’d make Saturday […]

Comments Off on Bender from Futurama loves his Mac
The folks at Futurama sure love themselves some Mac – which, of course, isn’t all that surprising given that co-founder Matt Groening did some artwork for Apple back in the day while David X. Cohen, the show’s other co-founder, is an unabashed Apple fan who named Dr. Zoidberg after a character he created for an […]

Friday, June 24, 2011
Okay, I admit it. I’m not a fan of Conan. And yes, I realize that most people adore him, but he just doesn’t seem THAT funny. Even this video below where he pokes fun at Final Cut Pro X is somewhat mediocre, if not downright amateurish. Yeah, it’s good for a few chuckles, but for […]

Wednesday, April 27, 2011
South Park has lampooned everything and everyone, except Apple. Until now. From Steve Jobs to iTunes to the iPad and even Apple’s onerous EULA terms, South Park’s HumancentiPad episode tackles it all. It’s not as clever as Futurama, but then again, what is. Part 1 is below. Enjoy it while it’s hot. Distrubing Part2 is […]

Comments Off on Eric Schmidt tries to talk Tina Fey out of her iPhone [Video]
Anybody who watches 30 Rock has undoubtedly noticed a strong tinge of Apple product placement. MacBook Pros abound, and more than that, Liz Lemon (played by Tina Fey) is constantly whipping out her iPhone. Indeed, Tina Fey in real life has noted that she does, in fact, use a Mac to work on 30 Rock […]

Comments Off on South Park poised to roast Steve Jobs and Apple
The Simpsons have done it. Futurama has done it time and time again. And now South Park will make it a trifecta. What are we talking about here? Why making fun of Apple of course. Tomorrow night, the season premiere of the 15th season of South Park will air and it will feature Steve Jobs […]

Comments Off on Aziz Ansari from Parks on Rec on “Zerts” and “apps” [video]
This isn’t related to Apple but is too hilarious to pass up. If you don’t already watch Parks and Recreation, get on it, Son. Hell, who cares if they subliminally support Windows, this is some grade A hilarity in full effect. The clip below is from the recent “Soulmates” episode where Tom Haverford, played by […]

Friday, April 1, 2011
While AMC and Mad Men creator Matthew Wiener continue to bicker over creative control and actor cuts, season 5 of Mad Men remains on schedule for a 2012 launch. And while it remains to be seen if AMC will get its way and incorporate more commercials and greater product placement, one thing that’s for certain, […]

Comments Off on Parks and Recreation plugs Microsoft
The most recent episode of Parks and Recreation: “Camping” included a not so subliminal Microsoft pitch. Just to make sure you get it, they included sticky notes almost exactly in the logo color pattern. If only it helped our Leslie Knope come up with a killer idea. In the real world you can’t buy a […]

Comments Off on Comedy Central renews Futurama for 7th season, 26 new episodes in the pipeline
Good news everybody! Futurama is coming back next season with 26 brand spankin’ new episodes. Deadline reports that after bringing Futurama back to the air in 2009 (thanks to a cult following and significant ratings on reruns), the latest episodes averaged approximately 2.5 million viewers, enough to warrant the commission of 26 brand new episodes. […]
