E3, TV Show Video Games & The West Wing

What a week!  Tomorrow is the first day of E3 - easily the biggest and most anticipated expo in the video games industry.  The GameSpot crew is already down in LA bringing live coverage to gamers around the world.  Check it out here.

You may have noticed that the TV industry has been getting into gaming as well...and with at least three more popular TV shows becoming video games sometime this year, there are no signs of stopping the TV video game invasion.  :)  That's right, the rumors that were swirling around seem to be true - there have been announcements that The Sopranos, Desperate Housewives and Family Guy will be joining the video game ranks.  How fun would it be to control Stewie, get involved in all the juicy gossip on Wisteria Lane and experience life with Tony Soprano?  Choosing from some of the TV shows that have become video games already as well as the three announcements above, which show makes the most sense as a video game?  Let us know, vote here!

The West Wing will be ending its final season soon...but we're still celebrating season six!  Today season six was released on DVD.  We have some exclusive DVD bonus features from this release - take a look here.

Instead of doing a retrospective, NBC will be airing the pilot episode of The West Wing.  What do you guys think of that?  I was kind of looking forward to the retrospect...

So NoTORIous episode stream

We just posted a full episode stream of last night's VH1 show, So NoTORIous episode, "Relaxed".  You can steam it in full here.  It's a fun episode - I especially liked the references to 90210.  Yes, I used to watch that show every week! :)

Finales!

The finale season is upon us.  Granted, some shows have already aired their finales and have signed off - but the majority of programs have yet to give us their final (be it season or series) sendoff.  We've summarized many of them so that you can make sense of it all and be sure to catch the finales/May sweeps episodes that are important to you.  You can check it out here

2006 Pilots

We just posted a feature summarizing the pilots the networks are looking at for their future schedule.  Take a look and tell us what you think here!  Some of them sound like they could be pretty entertaining - I wonder which ones the networks will pick up...

Finale Chats!

We want to know which finales you would want to have a live 'chat while you watch' feature for. Check out the poll on the front door here. We've left out Lost and 24 from the poll choices intentionally...as those seem to be the obvious favorites!  Vote and let us know your thoughts!

New poll!

Hey guys!

We published a new poll today asking what finale you are most excited about.  It's on the front door here - get your vote in now because it's a one-day question! :)

Our Latest Chat

Hi all, Today we revealed the subject of our latest chat - American Idol! You can judge the contestants with fellow fans as you watch the episode on TV. Should be really interesting to hear everyone's thoughts - I'm looking forward to it! Check out the page here for more info. :)

The Scoop - Updated!

We've published the latest installment of our weekly podcast, The Scoop! This time the team took it in another direction. Rather than focusing on various news topics of the week, this episode is all about one theme - Lost! Listen in as we invite two GameSpot staffers to discuss their thoughts on Lost in general, the latest episode (who the heck is that guy if he's not the real Henry Gale!), and their own conspiracy theories... This episode also has another important guest, one of our top-notch community members - angelsxo - joins us! As a moderator for our two live chats (24 and Lost), she discusses her thoughts on such events and what it's like to be a moderator keeping up with many fast-typing community members! You can tune in here. Hope you enjoy it!

More TV.com Events

Hi all! Tonight we have our second live chat around...you guessed it, Lost! Settle in, watch Lost and chat with other Lost fans! Maybe you'll figure out just what is going on with that island before it's revealed... The chat will be open a bit before and then after the episode, so you have plenty of time to jump in. That is here. Also, on Sunday at 10PM EST 7PM Pacific we'll be streaming the second season premiere episode of Showtime's Huff. That's right - those in Pacific and Mountain time zones get to see the episode before it even airs on TV! We'll also have a live chat around that so you can chat while you stream! Check it out here. See you there! :)
