Sorry Oregon, you won't be able to claim Homer, Bart and the rest of The Simpsons clan as your own. The Simpsons creator Matt Groening confirms exclusively to TV Guide Magazine that his recent statements were misinterpreted — he did not reveal that his long-running animated Fox comedy was set in Oregon.

"I never said Springfield was in Oregon," Groening says. "I said Springfield was the name of my sled...."

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone else has been having difficulty submitting embeds from The Daily Show or Colbert Report lately. For me I've been seeing one of two possible outcomes every time.

1. Embed code is invalid
2. The Embed code points to "Aliens Movie - Combat Drop Scene" as seen in this screenshot.



Just me?

Cheers!

Here is a quick synopsis of the episode and what I think was an unfortunate and untimely event that transpired at the end or near it...

... more inside ...

Chicago code is awesome. Even more awesome than "Castle" which is pretty awesome.
Chicago code is a cop drama, its smart and has strong acting. Nuff said.

Also. I recommend reading On basilisk station by david weber. It's an excellent book and I'm just finished reading the latest in the series. AWESOME!

last. New season of "Sanctuary" on Syfy SUX. Characters are dumb, Acting is non existant, even though i luv amanda tapping.

Ok, you can troll me back now. Cheers!

To tell you the truth it killed; big-time. Trump can go home now crying.

A lot of you know that I haven't had a TV for over 10 years (not preaching) - but that I love TV shows. At the risk of placing myself in legal peril - I'm going to admit that I download a lot of TV. But not watching an actual TV narrows the fields of shows that I'm aware of. I don't see the promos for what's on next. I rely on word of mouth and recommendations from friends. In my view, that's the way it should be. So what are you watching now? Here are my favourite shows. I'm looking for recommendations of more in this vein.

1. Madmen - Increasingly I'm watching this for the gorgeous retro sets. I love seeing vintage wooden HiFi consoles and classy black leather couches. I'm starting to lose interest a little bit now that Don has split with Betty and his desertion past is out in the open. Floating through major historical events in the 60s is still a blast. (Beatles at Candlestick Park)

2. Breaking Bad - Dark, dark comedy drama. The acting and character development is very strong in the show. Watching the slow, inexorable decline of Walter White - from chemistry teacher to drug kingpin has been fascinating and entertaining.

3. Peep Show More dark comedy; surprise, surprise. You get the feeling that Mitchell and Webb are almost playing themselves in this show - or at least a version of themselves, if they hadn't become the famous comedy duo that they are. I love the story arc and returning characters. So believable, so English - so awkward.

4. Glee - Preachy? Corny? Overproduced schmaltz? I don't care - I absolutely love this show. Again the acting, characters and story arc shine. These kids have heart - and it comes through in the performances. And although they do like to tackle typical "after school special" issues - the moral message is often fairly pragmatic. (Teen drinking is going to happen, do it responsibly or you might vomit in public).

"After careful consideration, Warner Bros Television has terminated Charlie Sheen's services on 'Two and a Half Men' effective immediately," Warner Bros said in a statement."

Inevitable really. I wonder how he'll take the news. I'm sure we'll find out in a rant to the media soon enough.

Five of the top fifteen videos contain Ricky Gervais in both title and content. Has this ever happened before, and considering all the amazing positive press he's getting, who would be crazy enough to deny him the chance to host again?

Ok it's killing me. How wizard would everyone rate the new Robot Chicken: Star Wars 3 Episode?

I will in fact give it a wizard. I also enjoyed the mic cutoff and "The Force Unleashed II™" commercial as well. Then coming back.

Also, all of the show anywhere around that point was also wizard. If someone with the powers can throw a poll up--that would be totally wizard.

/I'm taking it back too!

You know we've all been waiting for it! Well, most of us... And since it's happening real time and there's no video to post (yet) let's talk about it!

1. He needs to lose the beard. He's a handsome man, despite his funky hair, but the beard somehow makes the lower half of his face seem even smaller.
2. I loved the opening sequence. So many good references to movies and recent/not so recent pop culture.
3. Opening monologue - sweet! Just the right amount of NBC bashing without seeming bitter. Stay classy Conan.
4. The return of masturbating bear (spoiler alert) - just different enough to not get sued, just gratuitous enough to rock.
5. The name of the show - perfect.

I hope they do "year 2000"...

So. For what it's worth, I thought the first episode was very promising. I love the fact that they stuck to the story but embellished it instead of chopping it up. And AMC did a really good job keeping it a zombie flick with gore and all. I can't wait to see the rest. That's my two cents. I'd love to hear some of your impressions.

Not sure if this has already come up or if many of you guys know about it, but it's worth mentioning for anyone who loves British TV shows and wants to be able to watch anything from the BBC, ITV, or Channels 4 & 5.

Enjoy!

Nice article over on LifeHacker on how to access region blocked sites that offer flash video, like Hulu, without the need for a proxy.

I knew about the first part involving the headers, but blocking that specific port makes it work on so many more sites. Tested it on Hulu btw and it really does work.

Just a quick reminder that it's time for everyone in the Sift world to unfurl their super long antennas to pick up the broadcast of the latest IT Crowd season. I watched episode 1 last night - it was very funny.

I am just combing the Dead pool and I've noticed page after page of Tonight show posts.

They are all dead.
All posts from "NBC.com"
Including "Hulu", Youtube, even ifilm

There's a good 9 pages of them all together....
Just reporting the news

to prove glenn beck is lying.

have fun.

I have something to say, this is videosift, not streamsift. Knock off that 24/7 stream of channels I can watch already on my bigger, better tv. Its ridiculous and a poor attempt at popularity. Furthermore, it defeats the purpose of having a site that sifts for em, when I have to sift through a sift to gain potential info. IT'S STUPID! GAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

This is quick, but I thought I would post it so more users could see these vids. If someone wants to find out which ones aren't here yet go for it.

The Muppets have always been a great source of fun for adults and children alike. Youtube has an official channel for them here -- Muppets Studio.

So look around and post/embed some classics in here and everyone can have a quick link to their favorite bits; such as the Mah na mah na Song. Include others that small time users like me can't post (non-hosted). In the future we can just create a list to upkeep. If there is one already please link it here.
