I think Martin Mull is in this scene.
Had hoped to post a little more about the season premieres of "How I Met Your Mother" and "Two and a Half Men" but I am going to have to find a replay of "Men" somewhere since my DVR decided to offer its impression of the show as done by Jackson Pollock. That said, …
All right, so Cloris Leachman hijacked the entirety of "Dancing With the Stars" for an extended period, but "DWTS" has a tradition of wacky contestants. I want to make note of Lacey Schwimmer, above, …

The documentary, backed and co-directed by Cleveland native Phil Donahue, recently got a showing at the Cleveland Cinematheque but not everyone could get to that presentation. So here's another chance to see it — on Nov. 11, Veterans Day. Full announcement is after the jump. You can also learn more about the production here.
It's a two-DVR night thanks to the return of new TV in full force. Between the bride's shows and mine, we're set up for "Dancing With the Stars," "How I Met Your Mother," "Two and a Half Men," "One Tree Hill" and "Heroes." I have already seen a few minutes of CBS's new comedy "Worst Week," because after a few minutes I felt I had seen it all before and moved on. I have seen the first new hour of the two-hour "Heroes" premiere because that is all NBC sent out. It made me think I should have gone back and watched last season's finale first. The first hour was quite a little roller coaster, although that's not necessarily a good thing, but I think I'll withhold further judgment until I see the second hour tonight.
The return of shows has me pleased — well, until I looked at everything we're recording just through Wednesday and my thoughts about time management turned into a big ole anxiety attack.
Raise a glass, folks…
As I mentioned last night, I was working a metro shift Sunday night. Got out at a reasonable time, but then I had homework, so I let the Emmys wait until this morning — and have no thoughts about the show as a show. But my reactions to the winners in some of the major categories are after the jump.
The end of this era

You may know Barker from Blink-182 or from the "Meet the Barkers" TV show and his tabloid fame. DJ AM also did time in the paparazzi's lights thanks to a relationship with Nicole Richie. Details of the crash are here. According to MTV, they were also the house band for this year's VMAs. MTV's report on the crash is here.
First saw this linked over at Sepinwall. Very well done, since it was making me smile at 6:30 in the morning.

Originally aired April 11, 1991. Brandon interviews a tennis star, Donna worries that she's stupid.
Here are Nielsen's highlights from its analysis of convention coverage:
Nearly two thirds of all U.S. households (64.5% or 73.2 million homes) tuned into at least one of the 2008 political conventions. This is about 120.1 million people. Viewership levels for the two conventions were essentially tied, with about half of all households watching each one.
15.0% of all households tuned to just the RNC, and 15.7% tuned to just the DNC. Another 33.9% of all households tuned to both conventions.
Homes that watched both conventions were more likely to be headed by someone 65 years or older. They also completed the most formal education: nearly one-third (32.3%) graduated from college. Those watching only one convention were fairly comparable on both education and HOH age, within a point or two.
Homes that only tuned to the RNC were more likely to have higher incomes ($100K+), to have a larger household size (4+), to be white, to own a DVR, and to have a head of household with higher education (4+ yrs college) and aged 35-54.
Homes that only tuned in to the DNC were more likely to have a lower income (<20K), to have a smaller household size (2), to be African American, and to have a head of household who is younger (<35) and who has less education (1-3 Yrs College).
About one-fifth (21.2%) of the DNC-only homes were headed by an African American. 83.5% of the RNC-only homes were headed by someone who is white.
Over 70% of African American homes tuned to at least one of the conventions, including 35.7% that tuned into both, more than each of the other ethnic breaks. Meanwhile 27.4% tuned in only to the DNC and 8.1% tuned in only to the RNC.
White homes had the second highest reach to both conventions (34.5%), and were the only ethnic break to have a higher percentage of partisan tuning to the RNC (16.2%) than the DNC (13.6%).
