The result is automotive television at its finest.

The Formula 1 boys are running at Silverstone this weekend. The English circuit is one of my favorites, along with Hockehheim in Germany and the road course at Monaco. The British GP won’t air in the U.S. until Wednesday July 9th — for whatever stupid reason. So please, no one spoil it for me.

Most often I find myself wincing and switching channels as the banter turns ridiculous. Not the case here, I found Amanda’s thoughts to be interesting and informative, plus she isn’t bad on the ey

The late Tim Russert’s son Luke was on The Today Show this morning and it made for one of the most moving moments of TV that I have seen in quite some time. The segment was a fitting tribute to the well respected Mr. Russert and an inspiring showing from the poised and well spoken Luke. Part II

Robert Webb and David Mitchell are the British comedians from two of my favorite television programs, Peep Show and the sketch comedy show That Mitchell and Webb Look.
