NBC is counting on a new rhyme to advertise its Thursday night lineup, “Comedy Night Done Right”. It’s not quite as catchy as "Must See TV," and it sounds a bit …simple, but Vince Manze, President and Creative Director of The NBC Agency says, “It has all the great ingredients: It says there's a night of comedy and, of course, it rhymes.” The lineup includes "Scrubs," "My Name is Earl," "The Office" and "30 Rock."...

It must be easy for the writers of "My Name is Earl" to find ideas for the show, because all they have to do follow the local police blotters.

When we finally decided to scratch that particular itch in autumn the Pilsen restaurant was closed, however. We never thought that we'd have a second chance to check out the place. But while the Seahawks and referees conspired to hand the Super Bowl to the Steelers the other night, a friend of Chicagoist mentioned that May St. Café had re-opened. So we thanked whatever higher power that answers our prayers for the new opportunity to cross May St. Café off our list.
