Starting this week, FlyBy will aspire to entertain you with sharp, witty, political commentary on your favorite TV shows. Or we just want to give ourselves a legitimate reason to follow these shows under the guise of journalistic pursuit. Oh, and for those of you who get the hang of delayed gratification and catch up on Mad Men after you've completed those psets, we'll preface each recap with spoiler alerts if we comment on something too revealing...

...randy Prime Minister has promoted some of the more lovely young things - dubbed by Italians vitello, or veal - from his broadcasting empire into his Cabinet. He has deflected the political fallout from the nearly pornographic video of orgiastic parties at his villas. First-person accounts from prostitutes hired to entertain him, which would have a U.S. President in an impeachment scandal, are mere delicious newspaper morsels in Italy. (See the top 10 unsolved crimes...

There is no simpler way to entertain an audience than to let us in on auditions; we just love to watch the cream rise to the top. I'd have been pleased if Fame, the updated version of the 1980s hit movie about a New York high school for the performing arts that spawned the long-running television series, had just been one long string of good, bad and ugly auditions. Anything to prolong the pleasure of watching disapproval spread like an ink stain across the face of Lynn Kraft, the dance teacher played by Bebe Neuwirth, as she spies...
