Most of us know that Fox news is to news as MTV is to music. Since the 2003 court ruling giving the channel the right to lie on TV, they realized they didn’t have to be a credible news source as long as they are entertaining. And they do not disappoint (in being entertaining). The problem is what most of us find entertaining is the train wreck they call "reporters" and "news".

The Muppet Mash-Up has become one of the better genre surprises on You Tube. At first, they were just poorly retreaded Ernie and Bert impersonations over old Sesame Street footage, but they have evolved into an ongoing challenge to see who can mash the beloved family icons up with the craziest, and preferably the most inappropriate, soundtracks imaginable... as you will soon see. Here are the ten best we could find, judged on originality, synchcronization and passion.

Recently, a devastating series of earthquakes rocked the small Third World country of Haiti. The country now lies in ruins because of this horrible event which has caused a still unknown number of deaths. The reason? According to TV's resident nut job Pat Robertson, it's because the Haitians entered into a pact with the devil and now he's asking them to pay up. But that's not the only time Pat has offered us some wizard-like insight. Here's a highlight of some of Pat Robertson's most shining moments, starting with the most recent.

This is a list of the best tweets by Conan O'Brien himself, @ConanOBrien ( www.twitter.com/conanobrien ). Since he's not legally allowed to appear on television until the fall, he's turned to Twitter, and we've turned to his acccount. This week, he embarks on his North American comedy tour, which will not be television. So while we can't enjoy him on the small screen anymore, we can still enjoy his comedy live, but if we can't make THAT we can still enjoy him in the comfort of our own homes (or offices). Here are his funniest tweets. Please visit his Twitter page and follow him (link above). If your not already following Conan O'Brien on twitter, then I suggest you go follow him right now! The guy is classic and always has something funny to say. Here's Conan's Twitter bio: I had a show. Then I had a different show. Now I have a Twitter account. For the official webpage of the tour go to www.teamcoco.com

Conan O'Brien's Tonight Show is one of the funniest, most original shows on TV today and now it looks like NBC might be giving him the boot. Taking away the Tonight Show from Conan O'Brien, and therefore the world, would be one of NBC's biggest mistakes ever...but as we all know, TV is FULL of dumbass moves. Here's a list of the biggest. Note: items 5-7 have one thing in common.

In honor of the satisfying, yet somehow still underwhelming LOST ending this last weekend, we felt the need to put out a list about some other shows that just kind of flickered out in the end. Some TV shows have secured themselves in the history books by ending their runs on such a horrible note that all the previous hard work was forgotten because of one bad decision, but then there are these shows. The kind that just sit there, rotting, like that last black banana you just can't be bothered to throw out. It's not quite the same as "jumping the shark", because there isn't one glaring event that can be pinpointed to blame for the show turning to crap. It's a much sadder, slower dive into mediocrity that more than deserves its own list (in no particular order).

Before Ellen outed herself on national TV, LGBT characters on TV were few and far between. But over the years, there were many TV couples that could've been outed if times had been different (very different), but were instead portrayed as just almost-gay. From shows like The Odd Couple and My Two Dads, to Bosom Buddies and Laverne & Shirley, here's a list of the top 10 almost-gay couples in TV history.

Saturday morning cartoons. The staple of my childhood. But there was a stink in the flower field... and these characters were responsible. Even as a kid, they made my teeth clench.
