The Lame Show » Episodes

TV on the Internet or the Internet on TV is the theme of this holiday season episode, as Eddie and Noah scrutinize Google TV and Hulu Plus.

Lame List nominations are given to the “free” Find My iPhone feature and Qwest’s unconscionably slow Internet service.

Picks of the Episode are Mashup Breakdown and Put This On

Microsoft takes center stage this episode, from its new Kinect gaming technology to its “To the Cloud!” commercials. But don’t forget about iTunes Ping! (or maybe do forget about it)

Lame List nominations also go to the new Smurfs and Yogi Bear movie trailers.

Picks of the Episode are Amazon Remembers, Grooveshark and Damn You Auto Correct!

Returning from a break, Lame List nominations abound: Gap, iTunes 10, MySpace, and even Disney

Windows Phone 7 and the new Apple TV face Noah and Eddie’s new Lame/Not Lame gauntlet. Plus there are the typical diversions discussing Pixar, The Social Network and more.

Picks of the Episode are Scala’s haunting cover of Radiohead’s “Creep” and the awesome hand-picked videos of Devour.

Ray joins Noah and Eddie to answer the summer’s biggest question: Are Videogames Art? Oh, and iPhone 4-Gate. Dunh, dunh, DUNH!

Lame List nominations include Skype, “starting at $5″ stickers and parodies of parodies.

Picks of the Episode are Inception, Jamba Juice’s Cheeseburger Chill smoothie and Thao with the Get Down Stay Down.

The new iPhone 4 hasn’t jumped on the 3D bandwagon, but that doesn’t mean no one’s interested. Plus we verify listener feedback, and there’s a new SkyMall Selection you can nail into a tree.

Eddie can’t decide whether to nominate Walt Mossberg or Steve Jobs for the poor interview at D8. Noah nominates people who have the nerve to tell other people how to run their web site. And what about 3D Fireworks?

Picks of the Episode are Netflix for Wii and Safari 5′s Extensions.

After the latest vacation, it’s time for another SkyMall Selection, this time featuring headbands and earclips. And Google seems to think it’s taking over the world with its Android operating system. Is it?

Noah nominates Evernote to the Lame List for not fulfilling its basic premise and Eddie nominates music labels who thought their latest duplicity had gone unnoticed.

Picks of the Episode are SeoLol and Super Mario Bros. Crossover.

Canada (home of the real Vancouver) is the latest listener-submitted Lame List Nomination, because of its iTunes Gift Card regulations.

Eddie nominates Pixar for announcing a sequel to his least favorite Pixar film and Noah nominates Gizmodo for ‘outing’ the Apple employee who ‘lost’ his iPhone prototype.

And speaking of iPhone prototypes, what do we think of this upcoming device?.

Picks of the Episode are Beck’s Record Club and the Digital Nation episode of Frontline.

Our first listener-submitted Lame List Nomination is given to Eddie based on his opinion of the prefix “bi,” and another listener prompts a discussion of the amusing Viacom v. YouTube legal battle.

Lame List nominations are given to craigslist for stubbornly sticking with a poor interface and movie theater chains for raising prices without a compelling reason.

Discussion topics include the new TiVo Premiere and iPhone OS 4 preview. Plus Noah has a Mexico Moment followup (despite not being in Mexico anymore).

The (truly) lone Pick of the Episode is Ryan Dunlavy’s Comic Strip Mashups.

Newspaper web sites are beginning to charge for access to their web sites and both Noah and Eddie have some thoughts about that. But not before Noah shares another Mexico Moment.

Lame List nominations are given to ‘more’ links and Microsoft’s name for their next mobile phones (Windows Phone 7 Series).

The lone pick for the Episode is Disney’s Give a Day, Get a Disney Day program

And listeners are encouraged to submit their own Lame List nominations via the comments section of the web site.

Eddie recaps the (last?) Macworld Expo for Noah but not until after the two of them respond to listener feedback from recent episodes and Noah promises not to bring up politics anymore.

Lame List nominations are given to iSuppli’s “teardown” of the iPad and Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg for ending the age of privacy.

Picks include the Muppets Studio YouTube channel and the the sneakPEAK by Scosche.
