As Smokin Joe Frazier said when he presented the First Annual Montgomery Burns Awards for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence, "Webster's Dictionary defines excellence as 'the state or condition of being excellent.'" In light of that, we're honored that TWoP has been chosen as one of only three finalists for the OMMA Award for Website Excellence, Entertainment Category, presented by MediaPost. Our competition: South Park Studios.com and Ajira Airways.com (a Lost viral marketing site). And while our ultimate fate is in the hands of MediaPost's judges, readers will determine the Member's Choice Award winners in each category. So, if you're feeling kind to Tubey, cast your vote for TWoP here. (You'll need to register with MediaPost, but it's free and well worth the price to teach those South Park and Lost geniuses a thing or two.)

Captain Janeway does her best to save a terrible new series, there's more fuel in the Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles rumor fire, and Kara DioGuardi is still defending her title as The Worst.

It was announced recently that some geniuses at Fox and Sony Pictures TV decided that it was about time to turn Heathers into a TV series, since everything else is being redone already. My knee-jerk reaction was that this was a horrible idea (and made me shout "fuck me gently with a chainsaw!" at my computer) but I decided in fairness that I would rewatch this iconic film from my youth yet again to see how they could possibly transform it into a weekly television show. Maybe it was outdated and ready for an reboot. But now that I have, I still think it is a terrible idea, unless they can get Tina Fey or Ryan Murphy to do it. Which they haven't.

Today's TWoP news is brought to you by the letter S, for Showtime, which has decided to embrace the entertainment world's complete lack of creativity and originality and name shows exclusively using initials.

The UK version of Big Brother got canceled this week (its final season on Channel 4 will air next year), and while the American version on CBS is doing pretty well ratings-wise, its been a mostly boring/predictable summer with just a few bright spots. We've got some ideas on how producers should liven up our summer guilty pleasure so that it's much more enjoyable for us fans -- and hopefully will boost their ratings.

In the wake of Ted Kennedy's sad passing, some particularly interesting factoids are emerging about the senator. Namely, that along with quality time spent with his family and friends, he also chose to spend his final days watching every single episode of 24 on DVD. A sound decision -- albeit perhaps an odd one (considering all the political assassinations that occur on the show) -- since 24 is one of the most consistently entertaining (minus a bum season or two) and compelling series of the past decade, if not ever. If I knew I didn't have much time left, Jack Bauer would probably take my mind off of it. Which got us thinking about the shows we'd recommend that the average person with a terminal illness watch if they haven't already before they pass away -- and the shows they should most definitely not waste their precious hours on.

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Chuck's new boss! Do not let Bryan Singer come anywhere near him. We don't want this thing to go south on us.

When we first heard that Steven Seagal was a deputized police officer in New Orleans, we were amused. When we heard someone was going to make a reality series out of it, we were baffled. When the thing actually happened, we were like, "Okay, somebody's messing with us, right?" But no, a series titled Steven Seagal: Lawman will air starting this December on A&E, which used to stand for "Arts and Entertainment." The network seems to have shed such a narrow definition for their content, however, as the trailer for SSL looks like a very special episode of Cops. There's already been a lawsuit filed against A&E by two producers who are seeking credit and compensation, but if we were them we would stay far, far away from this thing, because it just seems like a bad idea. Actor, singer and martial artist Steven Seagal enforcing the law? Here are a few reasons why this might be a mistake.

What is art? Why do we dream? What is death? I dunno, what do I look like? Rainn Wilson?
