The answer for me is, NOPE! I literally JUST missed Zachary Levi by FIVE MINUTES. And I don’t even understand all of this…tech stuff. Ustream, I stream, we all stream for Chuck? And now I can’t see the video he just did? CRIES. You can find his streams of older videos here. There are 13 archived videos.

In the video below we see cast mate Yvonne Strahovski wearing UGGS. And you’re rolling your eyes, telling me you’ve seen millions of UGGS before. But I mention this because I’m torn on the UGGS issue. Which is really about as political as I ever aim to be. I had a pair once and returned them, because I think they look quite ugly – like giant, unattractive marshmallows on your feet. But I CANNOT deny that those things are comfortable.Yet, my very fashionable Twitter friend Muireann thinks the only thing worse than UGGS are Pajama Jeans.

What’s good on Netflix Instant Watch right now in terms of TV? Obvs I have suggestions since I watch a honking amount of stuff.

- Coupling season 1, 2 (A series that never did well in the USA, but is amazing in British form. It’s like Friends, with more sex and cool accents. For Leverage fans – this has Gina Bellman)
- Satisfaction season 1 (A Showtime series from Australia, very similar to Secret Diary of a Call Girl.)
- Skins Vol 1, Vol 2
- Party Down season 1 (Hysterical. Watch it NOW.)
- Fraggle Rock season 1 (OMG!!! I watched two episodes. It doesn’t quite capture my attention the same, but it’s nice to reminisce.)
- The IT Crowd season 1, 2, 3 (I might re-watch some of the episodes, it’s crazy-funny.)
- The Tudors season 1, 2 (Season one was my favorite.)
- Heroes season 1
- Doctor Who : The Pirate Planet (This is one of the older movies, no clue if it’s good but I bet it’d be fun to see. A planet of pirates? Rad.)
- Alfred Hitchcock Presents (Like The Twilight Zone, but with a man with an enormous belly who introduces the stories first.)
- The Adams Family Vol 1 (I used to watch this on an old black and white TV with my Dad.)
- SNL (Several seasons available, but nothing in the double digits. Dammit, I thought this was my chance to re-see some of my teenage classic’s aka the one with Sarah Michelle Gellar. I think that was season 15.)
- Doctor Who series 1, 2, 3, 4
- The Guild seasons 1 & 2 (So highly recommend by me!!!!)
- MST3k: Tormented (If you saw the recent episode of Community, this is perfect.)
- SNL  : The Best of Jimmy Fallon (Whatever, I used to crush on him.)
- Head Case season 1, 2
- Cashmere Mafia (KIDDING!)
- Sabrina the Teenage Witch
- Leverage season 1, 2
- Friday Night Lights 1,2, 3 (An addictive show.)
- Dead Like Me season 1, 2 (The movie is also there, but do NOT waste your time, I haaaated the movie.)

Our Best and Worst of Project Runway “Design Your Heart Out”

BEST LOOK Amy Sarabi’s winning look caught our eye for the wonderful movement it had on the runway. We’d wear it! But it had some tough competition for ‘best look’…

Our highlight pick for The Vampire Diaries “Children of the Damned” is a super creepy one. At first it was underplayed as we saw Elena and Stefan searching through Mr. Gilbert’s old things. This included a weird metal contraption that Stefan frowned at, but was then forgotten. We saw this later used on Katherine the vampire via the flashback, as a vampire muzzle. They were horrifying! Often even the scary shows fail to be sufficiently scary, but this moment was truly chill-worthy.

Betty White Snickers Ad

Betty White likes Snickers and Charles Barkley wants you to eat Taco Bell. However, most people are talking about the ad with David Letterman, Oprah and Jay Leno. Watch it and see if you are as unimpressed as I am. Of the ad, Rob Burnett says “I think everybody wanted to do it just because they all knew it would get attention and they all just wanted to do something funny.” Sure. Except for that being funny part.

“This wasn’t done to help Dave or to help Jay,” Mr. Burnett said, “though I think it does help both of them. It was just done because Dave thought it would be funny and would entertain people. Nothing went beyond that.”

More under the cut.

Cougar Town star Busy Phillips likes the Puppy Bowl.

I think the Superbowl is splendidly dumb. I spent that time watching some Hotel Babylon on Netflix, and the newest 2010 John Mayer: Storytellers show on VH1.com. But, sometimes people have interesting things to say about the Superbowl. Armed with a magnifying glass and a tweed cape (just like all detectives, duh) I looked upon Twitter to see what some of our “friends” (celebrities who will be getting restraining orders on us all one of these days) were saying about the football frenzy.

The fleur de lis that’s on their pants RT @jaymzdj: @rosemcgowan I like your style. What’s the best thing about the Saints outfits?

Loved that Dodge Charger ad. “I will separate the recycling.” “I will watch your vampire show.” Genius. Like they read my husband’s mind.

This half-time show really makes me want to watch CSI.

Finally, America’s Next Top Model has delivered us a model worthy of some real consideration. Nicole Fox is the first ANTM model (let alone, winner) that has landed an international campaign. You’ll see Nicole as the new face of Alexander McQueen’s spring/summer 2011 ads. If you recall, Nicole was my favorite of the contestants in her cycle.

Faith and Buffy: Someone was getting Single White Female'd!

When I was a lazier version of the TV enthusiast I am today, I let references go by me without caring to look them up. And this was true even for the shows I had heartfelt love for – like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Gilmore Girls. I think the problem was 1) The Internet was still dial-up only and so time to research things endlessly was limited 2) Those shows had so many references it seemed impossible to try and catch every one of them. But today I at least put one of those reference mysteries to rest. Rather than just look up the reference, I ended up fully experiencing it.

Which is to say, I watched a movie. More specifically, I watched a  movie from 1992, referenced on Buffy the Vampire Slayer with this quote: “But I’m the one getting Single White Female’d here.” What I discovered through my research is that Single White Female is disturbing as all hell, but also a perfect 90’s flick. Bridget Fonda and Jennifer Jason Leigh fight to the death, and Stephen Tobolowsky aka Sandy from Glee is all gross and rapey (not a word, I know). Plus, there’s really cool architecture – which I am probably weird to have taken so much notice of.

Sadly, there’s not much trivia for the movie on IMDB. Something not mentioned is that Jessica Lundy is in the film as simply “Talkative Applicant”. There is also “Mannish Applicant”, “Exotic Applicant” and “Perfect Applicant”. Ha.

If you want to tie this movie to Twilight: Eclipse, you needn’t look far. The movies have/will have the same composer: Howard Shore. You could even tie this to Lost in a way, because Jennifer Jason Leigh turned down the part of Libby which went to Cynthia Watros.

While I have you here, I’d like to wholeheartedly suggest that if you like 90’s suspense movies like this, you check out the Molly Ringwald movie Requiem For Murder.

Last Monday’s episodes of How I Met Your Mother (”The Perfect Week”) and The Big Bang Theory (”The Einstein Approximation”) taught us many valuable lessons. And I really hope you haven’t forgotten them already. If you did – lucky for you we have a refresher course for ya’ll.

- Sharing is great. Sharing a hamburger with someone will help you save money and carbs if you usually just bring home half anyway. But sharing a toothbrush with someone? Very-super-super creepy and gross. (HIMYM)

- If you are nervous about an interview, try imagining a celebrity interviewing you in the waiting room. When you get into the actual interview, you’ll have blasted away those nerves. How can your possible new  job employer compete with coolness vibes against John Cusack? (HIMYM)

- Don’t tackle problems without sleep and/or coffee. You’ll be crazy and drive other’s there, too. (TBBT)

- Economizing too much is often dumb. Such is the case with using butter instead of deodorant. (TBBT)

- Be happy about the accomplishments you have. Especially if you can elude  your friend in a ball pit. Bazinga! (TBBT)

What lessons will we learn next? What have these shows already taught you? Sound off in the comments. I’m listening. Or, you know – reading.
