Stop One Show: The Results!
Three weeks ago, I launched BuzzSugar's first Stop One Show poll, which gave all of you a chance to vote on which show you'd most like to kick off the air to make room for something better. After more than 1,600 votes, it doesn't look like anything will catch up to the current leader. So I'm calling an end to the poll and declaring a winner — er, loser?
Rewind: This Week's Buzz
- If you could recast Ferris Bueller's Day Off with new actors, who would you pick?
- This week, I really enjoyed Bjork's new song "Earth Invaders" and Bright Eyes' new album.
- Well, I don't know about "genius," exactly, but it's shear something. Also, "Notes From the Underbelly" got to an underwhelming start. "Underbelly" is an icky word, don't you think?.
- The trailer for Superbad, starring "Arrested Development"'s Michael Cera, looks so good, while Adam Brody is the only good-looking thing In the Land of Women.
- If you could vote one of these scripted shows off the air, which would you vote for?
- If you're interested in seeing one of the many thrillers this weekend, Disturbia is good, First Snow is chilling, and Perfect Stranger is a failure.
- Check out Al Gore's impressive musical lineup for his Live Earth concert.
- The "Friday Night Lights" season finale had me in tears this week.

Stop One Show!
It's the time of year when the networks start plotting their schedules for next season, checking out new pilots and deciding what shows to bring back. It's always a frustrating time for me, as I wonder why so many terrible shows make it back year after year.
At the end of the week, we'll learn the winner of Kristin Veitch's annual Save One Show campaign, which will help boost the winning show's chances of renewal.

90210 vs. Melrose Place: Which Was More Scandalous?
This week's CW drama block may have its share of cool guest stars like N.E.R.D. and Samantha Ronson, but, on the whole, it's a total mess. On the one hand, you've got the unstable girls of 90210 having emotional breakdowns at the drop of a hat; on the other, the Melrose Place residents are busy sneaking around to cover up their crimes.
What to Download: New Music Today
New DVD and music releases are the perk of Tuesdays, and today's album picks are fresh, fun, and guaranteed to liven up your iPod. I've checked out today's new music and have some advice for what's worth the download.
Don't stop partying: I'll resist doing a full-on album review for Weezer's Raditude; it's tempting, because I've always been a fan and have much to say about the band's transformation over the last 15 years.
This Is It: A Worthy Final Farewell
Making a tribute film after the death of an icon is a difficult undertaking — how do you do justice to his or her life without making it feel overblown? But the new Michael Jackson documentary, This Is It manages to strike that balance. The anticipation for its limited release has been building for more than a month now when early ticket purchases broke sales records, and most of you said you wanted to see the film as well.
Mad Men, "The Color Blue": This Week's 5 Maddest Moments
I have often found myself forgetting that Mad Men began with its leading man's Big Dirty Secret — and that not everyone knows the truth. That may be about to change, as we saw on this week's episode, "The Color Blue."
As usual, I've recapped the episode by its maddest moments, so to see them, just read more
Good Hair: A Funny, Informative Doc For Everyone
Chris Rock's first shot at a documentary was spurred on by a simple question his daughter asked: "Daddy, why don't I have good hair?" Good Hair is Rock's quest to find out what that is, and why we — men and women, black and white — care so much.
It's not a race relations angle as much as the trailer makes it seem, but rather an investigation into the phenomenon his two young daughters are growing up into: that straight European hair is what's desirable, beautiful, and worth lots of money and pain to get.
Mad Men: This Week's 5 Maddest Moments
It's Summer in the '60s in this week's Mad Men, and the latest episode, "Souvenir" is all about getting out of dodge or being left behind, and how it affects relationships.
Pete, Don and Betty are the focus of this week, though for once, Don isn't the one getting into trouble. Lots of mad moments from this episode, so to see what I thought (spoilers ahead!), just read more
