Most of you know my television habits — I watch WWE wrestling, HBO boxing, Entourage, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and American Idol. Compared to most of my friends, I don’t watch a lot of TV. I never got into Lost or 24.

I’m generally more entertained by the Internet than television, but there’s one thing that would absolutely keep me glued to the tube: Wikipedia TV.
It’s the 200th edition of Coffee Talk! I want to thank all of you for helping me make it this far!!! If you’d like to thank me then please do me a favor and start hating Freddie Prinze, Jr. You see, I saw him over Summer Slam weekend at the lobby of the Sheraton.

Last week a few of you started a fun Star Trek fight debate. It started with The Original Series vs. The Next Generation, moved onto Kirk vs. Picard, and even touched on Spock vs. Data. I was thoroughly entertained and hope you’re up for it again! This time around let’s include all of the Star Trek shows — even Voyager (Come on! A woman captain and a black vulcan?!?). Let’s start with the poll:
The always hilarious Steve Colbert has discovered the identity of the “mystery plumber” that helped cap the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Check out this clip from The Colbert Report for a good laugh or 12.
TNA is using several ECW originals for a “one more night” angle. One one hand, WWE did a terrible job with the ECW brand and ended up pissing on what made the original show so unique. On the other hand, going with this angle is another example of using old …
The New York Post has reported that MTV is working on new episodes of Beavis and Butt-head. This is the best thing I’ve heard all month! I love these two idiots. I love Mike Judge’s writing. And I love that the show will be used to promote music videos — …
Of course David Letterman is taking jabs at the iPhone 4. That’s how you know the phenomenon is mainstream. Ha! The top two answers are just excellent. Check out the video and let me know what you think (please)!
This will probably piss some of you off (though it shouldn’t surprise any of you), but it looks like the PlayStation 3 version Hulu Plus will require PlayStation Plus. Yesterday a few of you were annoyed that the Xbox 360 version will require an Xbox Live Gold subscription. It looks …
