9:58 am	Battlestar Galactica: Cliffs Notes Version Listen up because we need to talk. Come on now…focus. I promise you that once you read my little opening here I will let you go and you can continue looking for your Office gossip, Grey's Anatomy news, or whatever else brought you to GMMR today. But I need your attention for just a minute to talk to you about Battlestar Galactica. Hey…hey…don't leave. Just sit, this will just take a minute. Now listen, I resisted Battlestar Galactica (BSG) for years. Despite critics and trusted TV addicts saying the show was the best of the best of TV, I still hesitated. Why? That's easy - I HATE Sci Fi. A Star Wars geek, or Trekkie…yeah, SOOOO not me. But one fateful day last summer, I stumbled across "Battlestar Galactica: The Story So Far"(available for FREE on iTunes) which was a 45 minutes recap of the show to date, and let me tell you…I. Was. Hooked. I mean seriously hooked. BSG was so different than what I expected. It was deep and engaging and by the end of the show I was so engrossed with the story and characters that I stared recording every episode that aired. I gave it a shot and now I'm rewarded by some pretty amazing television. But most importantly BSG introduced me to the word "FRAK" – the profanity of the future. And my life just hasn't been the same. Hopefully by now you know that I wouldn't steer you in the wrong direction. BSG is worth the space on your TiVo and I'm just asking that you give it a shot. To that end, our in-house BSG recapper, Jo, put together a little Cliffs Notes version of BSG for you newbies. Give it a read. At the very least it might help you better understand what the frak the people are talking about on The Office, Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars. This is just meant as an overview and it certainly won't make you a BSG expert, but I've provided some links that will really helpful in letting you delve a bit deeper if you so wish.

8:17 am	GMMR Spotlight: Friday Night Lights I spent some time over the holidays getting caught up on some shows that alluded me since the fall season began. The shows I chose were lauded by many of you as being some that TV had to offer. Since I trust your opinion, I had to check them out. To be honest, I’m not going to really spend much time talking about Heroes and 30 Rock, because I feel like I’m preaching to the choir. You all watch those shows and seem to really love them. As do I. I’m almost caught up with both of them, and look forward to watching the new eps when they air. So that brings me to perhaps the best part of the Christmas holidays, and that was watching Friday Night Lights. I mean, um, spending time with my family and THEN watching Friday Night Lights. I had read all the reviews and knew it was something special, but I just couldn’t seem to keep up with it during the regular season when it first aired. Tuesday nights were busy and getting a new show in was just not in the cards. But thanks to Al Gore and his wonderful internet, and the folks at NBC.com, I was able to watch the entire season online and now I’m completely caught up. So what do I think of Friday Night Lights? I think it’s fanfreakingtastic!! Honestly, it’s so much better than I expected it to be. Again, I had heard the critical praise, but I just wasn’t sure it could live up to the hype. Well it does. The characters, the storylines, the actors - just wonderful. Read more of GMMR Spotlight: Friday Night Lights (Comment on this)

1:09 am	New John Krasinski Video (Behind the Scenes of Jarhead) I'm not sure if this is new or not but I've never seen it, and I'm a diehard J. Kras fan so there's a chance some of you might have missed this as well. This is a video of John Krasinski and a friend behind the scenes of the movie "Jarhead". It's a day in the life of "day players". This is definitely before "The Office" took off, and it's really great to see John. I've posted the video on my site BUT here is the direct link the video on youtube (click here to watch) P.S. Since we are sharing office gossip, can I just say how sweet and adorable Jenna Fischer is? Check out this note that I got from her the other day, and yes, I have already framed it. Shout out to Prince for keeping this community going...I love it!!! (Comment on this)
