Nothing beats a lazy Saturday afternoon watching regular TV because you’re too poor to have cable, satellite, or FIOS.In between infomercials such as Ron Popeil’s “set it and forget it” roaster to the latest technological breakthrough, a globe with a long stem that slowly releases water to your hungry house plants (the Aqua Globe!), you may get lucky and channel surf your way onto a showing of a 1980’s movie. Unfortunately, there were a lot of garbage movies produced in the 1980’s, so the chances of you seeing crap is high.

There's an election coming up - I'd better start recording 'Saturday Night Live!'" joked a friend of mine two weeks ago. "Is it bad that's where I get all my political news?"Bad, yes. Uncommon, no.Once every four years, the sketch comedy show, far past its comedic prime, gets a much-needed boost in ratings thanks to spot-on impressions of politicos and candidates. This year, Tina Fey's hilarious Sarah Palin impression helped give it a 70% bump in ratings. Sadly, Fey said she won't be continuing her role as the winking hockey mom now that the election is over.

"Lost" is coming back, and sooner than you might think.Sources say ABC is scheduling a two-hour premiere for the fifth season debut of the Emmy-winning thriller on Wednesday, Jan. 21. The premiere will be preceded by a one-hour clip show (so three hours of "Lost" total).That means "Lost" is returning to its Wednesday-at-9 p.m. time period. The most recent fourth season aired on Thursdays -- first at 9 p.m., then shifting to 10 p.m. after "Grey's Anatomy" returned to air following the writers strike. The new premiere date is also slightly earlier than last season.

Speaking to The Los Angeles Times about the possibility of directing a follow up to his smash hit The Dark Knight, Christopher Nolan makes it clear he is not sold on the idea. I have to ask the question,” he says, “How many good third movies in a franchise can people name?The article doesn’t say that Nolan then leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms with a smug smile, but I can picture it. The guy makes a billion dollar-grossing movie and all of the sudden he’s the sequel expert.

It's all over a photo that was used in a recent episode of the SOAPnet show "General Hospital: Night Shift" -- Billy Dee Williams' character received a letter and a picture from the son he abandoned. But the photo wasn't of another actor -- it was Christopher Barrios, the victim of that horrible tragedy we mentioned earlier in this post.Members of Christopher's fam -- who never authorized the use of a photo -- were furious and told News4Jax.com they had no idea how the pic got on the show. The people at SOAPnet and their parent network ABC were just as stumped.

If there is one thing we like to do, it is jump all over the pride-in-country bandwagon every chance we get. That is why we take time away from barbecues and family gatherings to write all sorts of clever lists for every single Holiday. Even more enjoyable is taking the Olympic Games, both summer and winter, and exploiting them as an opportunity to share some of our favorite films. This time around, in honor of the XXIX Olympiad in Beijing, China, we have assembled a list of Ten Films that Capture the Olympic Spirit.
