As is usually the case between networks and cable providers, the dispute is over fees. And as can be expected, each company is blaming the other company.

Said a spokeswoman for Disney, which owns ABC: “Cablevision has once again betrayed its subscribers. Cablevision pocketed almost $8 billion last year, and now customers aren’t getting what they pay for … again.”

Said an executive VP for Cablevision: “It is now painfully clear to millions of New York area households that Disney CEO Bob Iger will hold his own ABC viewers hostage in order to extract $40 million in new fees from Cablevision.”

If you are one of the unlucky people affected by this battle between billion dollar companies, the best thing to do is to hook up an antenna and watch ABC for free. Another option is to try to find a live stream of ABC online.

The 41-year-old star was found in Vancouver’s famous Stanley Park, after he was reported missing since February 18th. Before he left on his trip to see friends in Toronto and Vancouver, he was said to have moved out of his apartment in Venice, California.

Additionally, he sold some of his things through a garage sale. Then, on the 16th, he sent a note to his parents, which was described as being despondent, and he missed his flight back to California.

He is the son of Walter Koenig, who starred on the hit TV series, Star Trek as Pavel Chekov. Walter has confirmed that his son committed suicide.

In a press conference today, he said, “My son took his own life. He was obviously in a lot of pain.”

The cause of death has not been revealed. Yesterday Walter and his wife took to a televised press conference to beg their son to let them know whether or not he was alright. They also made a plea to the residents of Vancouver to keep an eye out for Andrew.

This is so unbelievably tragic. I feel so deeply crushed for them right now. They must be feeling unimaginable pain, and I only wish them the best.

Kim’s choice to play Khloe is Liv Tyler. She backs it up by saying,"She’s tall, beautiful and curvacious with great facial features.”

As for who should play Kourtney, Kim concludes, “Kourt’s the smallest of us three, so I think someone like Vanessa Hudgens would be perfect because she’s petite and she’s kind of quiet and intimidating at the same time, haha."

For herself, Kim decided that Penelope Cruz would be the best choice because she loves the idea of having a sexy accent. However, Kourtney was quick to say the best choice would be Jennifer Lopez. Uh, yeah. They certainly have one thing in common: a booty!

Keep dreaming girls! I doubt any of those high-profile actors would sign up to star in a movie about the Kardashians, but that’s just my opinion…

I’ve got a couple of different complaints.

The first big issue was that I couldn’t find the USA vs. Canada hockey game televised last night. They built it up all week as much as possible, and then I go to watch it and it’s not on. I’m hearing updates about it on Facebook but can’t find it on the TV schedule.

That issue alerted me to something else. AT&T is a sponsor of the Olympic Games and I am a proud AT&T U-verse customer. They released an expansion of their “Multi-View” to help with coverage of the Olympics. Multi-view allows you to enjoy a 4-channel picture-in-picture function so you can keep from missing anything you want to watch. The problem there is that every time I’ve tried to use the Olympic multi-view, I’ve yet to see any Olympic coverage other than on the main channel I’m watching.

The other frustration I have with Olympics TV coverage is that we don’t see these sports covered hardly at all throughout the year. With cable networks with 100’s of channels, why can’t we see more of these non-mainstream sports covered through the year? Where’s Chris Anderson’s Long Tail of TV sports coverage?

And lastly, why can’t I watch curling on TV on my DVR? I’ve yet to see it covered anywhere except on online video. Perhaps I’m too busy.

Interestingly enough, First Lady Michelle Obama and daughters Sasha and Malia are said to be in love with the show.

Well, I think it’s a lot better than last year’s Easter White House performer, which was Fergie. You can catch Glee when it returns from its hiatus on April 13th.

They must be extremely honored to be singing in front of the President and his family. I wonder what they’ll sing!

Going by Adrian’s booking report he was reportedly released on $15,000 and was picked up from the station at 8:30 am.

I wonder if wife Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks picked him up from the station. You know he got in a lot of trouble when he got home. Do you think we’ll be seeing a mugshot any time soon?

The show has been renewed for a 10-episode run, which will start up again later this year. Believe it or not, this fourth season will make Greek ABC Family’s longest running series.

If you’re unfamiliar with the show, it’s about college students attending Cyprus Rhodes University.  The characters are involved in the fictional fraternities Kappa Tau Gamma (ΚΤΓ) and Omega Chi Delta as well as the sorority Zeta Beta Zeta.

Looks like fans of the show have a long time to wait until season four starts again. It will be returning on January 25 of 2010. Greek airs on Mondays at 10/9c.

Any of you looking forward to the return of Greek?

Fey’s impression of Palin gained immense popularity during the 2008 Presidential Elections, in which Sarah was running for Vice President alongside senator John McCain.

When asked about returning and cracking out the sketch again, Tina responded, “It’s inevitable that we’ll try it, at least. We’ll see if it makes it to air.”

During the campaign, the SNL ratings increased pretty significantly. Tina even won an Emmy Award in September for it.

If they came make it work, I’d like to see a return!

However, the guitarist is currently in negotiations with NBC to leave the show. No word yet on when he will be making the exit.

Also, making a departure is John Melendez, who provided the voice commentary, however he will still write for The Tonight Show.

I wonder what happened. Maybe it was just too much change for them.  It’s hard to imagine the show without either of them.
