Fans of "The Hills" are getting way more than expected this season with all that wonderful scripted drama. Seriously, who comes up with this stuff. But, none the less, something good came out of Heidi Montag's early mid life crisis which is presented to us in the form of a February Maxim photo shoot. "Great reality TV villains come in many shapes and sizes. There was Puck, the grimy Real World-er prone to sticking his nicotine-stained digits in other people’s peanut butter. There was Omarosa, Trump’s would-be apprentice, who pissed off everyone in the boardroom—including the combed-over mogul—with her confrontationally bitchy demeanor. And now there’s 21-year-old Heidi Montag, who looks like a St. Pauli girl but has somehow become one of the most talked about and controversial stars on television." Head over to Maxim.com for the entire February Maxim issue preview.

Season 4 of Lost is due to begin sometime between February and April of 2008 which is OK by me, but for those that are sticking with the series we have a teaser trailer for you which is currently only airing in Theaters and coincidently YouTube as well. Honestly, if it weren't for this trailer popping up on the web I would have totally forgotten about Lost and how a great show went terribly wrong in season 3, and for that matter, season 2. It's pretty obvious at this point that shows like Lost and Prison Break have a very short shelf life and would be better off as mini series. If you are worried about spoilers, have no fear because there are none in this trailer and only time will tell Lost can make up for lack of a better word "Lost" time. Check out the season 4 trailer here.

At this point it is pretty obvious that most television studios and producers are ready to distribute shows online and for the most part free of charge. The advertising revenue potential is astronomical as some studios have already realized and they would be crazy not to take advantage of it. As of next year, "South Park" will be joining the list of shows that you will be able to view online, free of charge. However, not only are they going to distribute new episodes but they will be throwing the entire series online for your viewing pleasure. "The decision from the biggest division of media conglomerate Viacom Inc follows on the heels of the "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," whose popularity online has helped boost television viewership. MTV Networks's Comedy Central network began offering in October some 13,000 "Daily Show" videos dating back to 1999. Offering versions of TV shows online has not hurt television ratings, and may have actually helped. "One does not diminish the other by any stretch of the imagination. That is kind of our hat trick," MTV Networks Chairman and Chief Executive Judy McGrath said at the Reuters Media Summit in New York on Wednesday. In August, ...

The Terminator is making its way back, but this time around you wont find it in a movie theater. January 13, 2008 marks the day the new "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" series hits TV via Fox. There are a few trailers and clips floating around but I'm not sure what to make of the series at this point. It's either going to be a total bomb or a decent take on the popular Terminator franchise. Either way it just wont be the same without Schwarzenegger, zie original Terminator. It's very rare that a movie successfully translates to a television series with staying power, but a few have beat the odds the last few years. You can check out the first trailer by clicking here as well as promotional Clip 1, Clip 2 and Clip 3 respectively.

Pioneer of all companies is getting ready to launch SyncTV which is yet another on-line television download service. Just like NBC's solution, SyncTV will be an ad supported application that you install and run on your PC. Unlike NBC's solution, you will not be limited to shows from one single provider, but you will have to pay for SyncTV including $2/month per channel and another 2 dollars to download any show outside of your subscription. If the price seems a little steep, thats because it is for this type of service (even more than iTunes), but according to the SyncTV website the end result will be well worth the cost. Pioneer is promising "home-theater quality" downloads with HD support and surround sound which means they are targeting this as a replacement for your current TV service or DVR solution. You can also expect set top extenders within the year from a variety of manufacturers that will be compatible with the SyncTV service. SyncTV is currently in private Beta test, but of your lucky you might be able to get on the list by heading over to SyncTV.com. Continue reading below for more information directly from SyncTV. About SyncTV gives you home-theater quality ...

NBC has been talking about launching a free TV show download service for the past few months and they have finally delivered. "NBC Direct", which is currently in beta, allows US customers to download the latest episodes of shows like the Bionic Woman, 30 Rock, Life, The Office, Friday Night Light and more. The service works fine, but there are a few problems I noticed right off the bat. First off, Firefox is not compatible with the service at all which will be a major turnoff for at least few million potential users. Second problem is that NBC requires you to download and install their own proprietary media player/show-manager before you can use the service. It only takes a few minutes to get up and running, but still, do I really want yet another media player to deal with on my machine? Once you have the NBC Direct player installed, you can manage and download the latest shows directly from the player which makes the process relatively simple. Just click the show you want to watch and wait a few minutes while it downloads. On a high speed connection, 30 Rock took only 4 minutes to download completely. After your video ...
