  1. Your Fox Fall Line-up

    The TV Zone
    Moves to fall... Here it is, gang..."So You Think You Can Dance?" Big winner here... Other headlines? Not many. This looks like a pretty stable schedule, as evidenced by fact that three new hours are back. "Dollhouse" seemed doomed......

  2. Taking science to the masses

    Neil Shubin has the wide, happy eyes of a Muppet and the casual, ingratiating prattle of a car salesman. His thick, graying hair lends gravitas. He has written a new book, and on a bitter afternoon in Hyde Park he is explaining to me how he writes.

  3. An indie brings Nick Offerman back to the Chicago area

    Whenever I find myself in a bleak mood, a quick glance at the Ron Swanson Pyramid of Greatness usually does the trick. A near-perfect melding of minds between the "Parks and Recreation" writing staff and actor Nick Offerman, this visual guide on how to live life ("Crying: Acceptable at funerals and the Grand Canyon") is one of the NBC show's lasting legacies.

  4. Q&A: Illinois native 'Parks and Recreation' star Nick Offerman on 'Somebody Up There Likes Me'

    On NBC’s fantastic “Parks and Recreation,” Nick Offerman has turned Ron Swanson into such a spectacular, hilarious symbol of contained emotion and old-fashioned, meat-and-potatoes masculinity that it feels necessary to establish that Nick Offerman is not Ron Swanson.

  5. Life Out Here: That's just not funny?

    As native Spanish speakers, some of my students have problems saying “third” because the “th” sounds isn’t used in Spanish (unless you’re from Barthelona, Valenthia or elthewhere in Thpain). Some of my students use a “t” sound instead.

  6. Schmich: There's no way to screen out the screens

    I woke up the other morning wondering how I spent my time in the days before the Internet.
    I woke up the other morning wondering how I spent my time in the days before the Internet. In the early quiet, I lay there trying to remember. What exactly did I do first thing in the morning before all those screens cried for my attention? What did I...

  7. When jokes go too far

    Oscar hosts are supposed to be irreverent and edgy, otherwise they are instantly accused of boring us silly. So Seth MacFarlane must have been surprised by the rolling backlash from his performance at last week's Academy Awards.

  8. Onion 'edgy': Tasteless and sickening

    The tweet went as follows:
    The tweet went as follows: "Everyone else seems afraid to say it, but that Quvenzhane Wallis is kind of a (expletive), right?" The missing word is a bit of verbal sewage sometimes used to disparage women. Begins with "c," rhymes with "hunt." Its...

  9. The Oscars telecast's rocky road

    Last night's Oscars were like an emotional roller-coaster at a terrible amusement park--beginning wth Seth MacFarlane's as-bad-as-feared monologue, the show rarely rose above painful and hit few peaks. Allow us to relive some of the night's best and worst moments, not necessarily in that order.

  11. Oscars: Seth MacFarlane is an Academy guy

    When Seth MacFarlane takes the stage Sunday as host of the 85thAcademy Awards, chances are a large portion of the viewing audience will look at their TV screens and wonder: Who is this guy? He might just be the least famous Oscar host ever , with a resume unlike that of any previous host except for the author and humorist Irvin S. Cobb, who hosted in 1935 — but even Cobb had a career in front of the camera.
