February 18, 2011 @ 6:19 am PST    Grey's Anatomy     Kelly Lynch    

Last night's episode of "Grey's Anatomy" got us reacquainted with Meredith, the central character in the show's early seasons.

For a long time the storylines were focused on other characters, and while that's been critical in the development of the show, it's always nice to go back to where it all began.

We directed our attention to "the golden hour," sixty minutes that can significantly change someone's life.

If robots can replace players on Jeopardy, what will they be doing next?

An IBM computer named “Watson” swept Jeopardy all-stars Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter in the final round Wednesday, winning $1 million dollars. (Insert follow-up question, here: what will a computer do with $1 million dollars)?

The money is going to charity of IBM’s choice. Jeopardy champs, Jennings and Rutter didn’t leave empty ended.

Baby, hit us one more time!

As we reported last week, Miss Britney Spears will make a splash on screens tonight when her new music video debuts.

On MTV, just before an all new episode of 'Jersey Shore', Brit Brit's video for the hit song "Hold It Against Me" will premiere.

The vid is apparently over 9 minutes long - plenty of time to see the saucy vixen and her shirtless men in all their leather-clad glory.

Lady Gaga: some love her, others just think she's a weirder version of Madonna. With the release of Gaga's latest single "Born This Way", the debate has only deepened. Thus, it's time to ask the Yidio Question of the Day:

Did Lady Gaga Rip Off Madonna With 'Born This Way'?

Yes:

Have you heard this song? It's an absolutely blatant rip-off of Madonna's hit "Express Yourself".

Scorsese Finally Taking His Vow of 'Silence'
February 17, 2011 @ 8:51 am PST    Hugo Cabret     Scott Nye    

Even though you get used to the ups and downs of the movie industry after following it for years, I was quite astonished when it was announced that legendary director Martin Scorsese wasn't going to be able to direct "Silence."

It's not uncommon for big-name directors to attach themselves to several projects, knowing some will happen while others will vanish due to the difficulties finding and keeping funding, but this story seemed far too personal a thing for Scorsese to take on to simply let it go.

Episode 'Modern Family' Season 2, Episode 15 - Princess Party Recap
February 17, 2011 @ 6:28 am PST    Modern Family     Kelly Lynch    

In last night's episode of 'Modern Family,' we learned that sometimes our mothers aren't out to get us.  They just save their best resentment for the second wife.

After watching the latest episode, I do believe that the writing is getting consistently better. Perhaps it's the afterglow of a successful awards season, but the show certainly isn't resting on its laurels.

February 17, 2011 @ 6:03 am PST    Wonder Woman, Friday Night Lights     Andy Neuenschwander    

When NBC announced last October that they would be taking on a "Wonder Woman" TV series, the big question was who would take up the star-spangled mantle and wield the golden lasso. Now, we have an answer: the iconic comic book heroine will be played by Adrianne Palicki.

Her name might not be one you recognize, but if you're a big TV and movie watcher you're sure to know Adrianne Palicki by her face, or maybe by her voice.
