New reality shows capitalize on what's in the news and what's on TV right now. In other news, new scripted shows capitalize on what worked 30 years ago. Great idea.

Hugh Laurie is a man of many talents: Drama, comedy, boxing, charity, security, raising Stuart Little, etc., and now, naturally, he is recording a blues album. Sure, why not? I'm sure Band from TV is fun, but not terribly rewarding creatively, and the same could be said for the past couple seasons of House, likely minus the fun part -- the man probably needs an outlet. But what will the album's tracklisting look like? It's time to look up some blues standards on Wikipedia and guess.

We've got to give Band From TV some credit. There are busy celebrities (well... some of them at least) who take time out of their day jobs (well... some of them at least) to play music and give the money to charity. It's nice to see that these TV stars (current and former) are giving back. The results are perfectly fine. They perform a mix of classic cover tunes and they're quite decent on their respective instruments. I'm sure Simon Cowell would have some snarkier critiques of their performances, but if you are a big fan of any of the actors, you'll probably be delighted with their recently released album Hoggin All the Covers.

Last night's House was amazing for a million reasons. House and Wilson were back together and on a bromantic road trip together, Hugh Laurie's performance in the funeral scene was breathtakingly good, the minions had to make themselves useful without House (for the most part) while he was off being taken hostage by Wilson, and even Kal Penn's character had something interesting to contribute in his scenes with the patient of the week for once. All in all, I think we can agree that this episode will go down as one of the best of the series. But more importantly -- how awesome was House's "MmmBop" ringtone?! As someone who prides myself on picking out the perfect ironic ringtones for every occasion, I have to say my current "Candle in the Wind" has been checkmated by House's Hanson, and I am so copying him. Anyone else love (or hate, and you'd certainly have a valid argument if you do) the Hanson joke?

Happy Passover and good Good Friday to you all, television lovers. On this holy day we have some probably bad news for Dollhouse fans, potentially good news for Melora Hardin fans, and excellent news for Motley Crue fans. So before you hit your third night of no carbs/head to church/go out and get plastered (an important tradition for the holiday known as Weekend), take a gander at these TV newsbites and see if there's a chance that Dollhouse may have a shot a resurrection, much like Jesus on this weekend approximately 2,000 years ago.
