FlashForward Ratings Reason for Concern
When FlashForward debuted earlier this fall it was the most buzzed about new show on TV. The ratings were good though they were not spectacular. Since the premiere fan following has dropped and that is being seen in the ratings. Last week's episode, which was hyped to be the "one you had to see", delivered the lowest ratings for the series thus far. The 8.5 million viewers and only a 2.6 rating in the 18-49 come in well below ABC's expectations. While it has a solid following on DVR that ...

Review: The Men Who Stare At Goats
I generally tend to enjoy the understated dry comedies and that is what I expected from The Men Who Stare At Goats.

EA MMA to Feature Strikeforce
Considering the unveiling of EA MMA during the Strikeforce event tomorrow night it comes as little surprise that the Strikeforce organization will be featured as a premier league in the game. In addition to that announcement two new fighters have joined the roster in Brett Rogers and Jake Shields. Those two along with Fedor Emelianenko, Jason Miller, and Muhammed Lawal will be in main events in the nationally televised event on CBS. With this partnership, the STRIKEFORCE cage and the league...
