When Nam June Paik broke into television in the early 1960s, he didn’t have the most propitious background. His training was as an avant-garde composer, with a reputation for assaulting audiences. Network television, on the other hand, was the ultimate populist medium, where Bonanza and The Beverly Hillbillies competed for ratings. So Paik didn’t even attempt to woo studio executives. Instead he bought some old TV sets and literally broke into their casing. Hacking the electronics, he put the TVs on display, their pictures more distorted than Surrealist paintings.
Paik has often been called the father of video art – a claim lavishly supported by a new Smithsonian American Art Museum exhibit – but he set out to be much more than that. As he wrote in a 1969 manifesto, he sought to shape TV “as precisely as Leonardo, as freely as Picasso, as colorfully as Renoir, as profoundly as Mondrian, as violently as Pollock and as lyrically as Jasper Johns.” In the right hands, he believed, television could put first-rate art into everybody’s home. Can it? continue reading....

The television business is a tough industry. When shows do well, the other networks scramble to find their own version of someone else’s success. The blatant imitations seem to sprout faster than spores in a petri dish of left-over soup. Well, WHACKO-TV is not that proud that we too, wouldn’t attempt to steal a good idea and make it worse.

With "Breaking Bad" returning for its fifth season on AMC, it seemed like a good time to share my 2008 interview with actress Anna Gunn, who plays Skyler. This was recorded early in the show's first season, at a point when Anna was still better known for playing Timothy Olyphant's wife on HBO's "Deadwood."

For the first time ever, we polled the entire SOS staff on their favorite TV of the last 12 months. We knew that, given the fact that our contributors are (principally) spread out across Canada, the US, and Britain, that the results might well be a mixed bag. What we didn’t necessarily expect was the level of consensus surrounding the upper quartile of the list. There was a clear groundswell of support for our collective #1, but competition was fierce for the spots just behind it. Here are the 20 best TV shows of 2011, according to the staff as a whole; stay tuned for The Televerse’s year-end wrap-up, in which Kate Kulzick and Simon Howell discuss their respecive favorites – and least favorites – in greater detail.

'Treme' actor Showers found dead, authorities say
By the CNN Wire Staff
August 25, 2011 12:30 p.m. EDT
Michael Showers played Capt. John Guidry on the acclaimed HBO series, "Treme."
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
His body is found floating in the Mississippi River in New Orleans
Police recover it and hand it over to the coroner
HBO's acclaimed 'Treme' is by the creator of 'The Wire'
.
(CNN) -- Actor Michael Showers, who made several appearances in the HBO series "Treme," was found dead Wednesday in Louisiana, a Port of New Orleans official told CNN Thursday.
His body was spotted floating in the Mississippi River near St. Louis Street in New Orleans, said Chris Bonura, communications director for the port.
Harbor police responded and retrieved the body, he said. It has been handed over to the coroner for investigation, he added.
The coroner's office did not immediately respond to CNN questions about the incident.
Showers played Capt. John Guidry on the acclaimed HBO series, which was created by David Simon following his cult classic "The Wire."
Simon hailed him as "a fine actor who contributed his talents to our drama in the warmest and most professional way.
"We enjoyed his work -- and working with him. Going forward, we're going to miss having him as part of our production. All of which seems of little import in light of the loss of a man's whole life, and what that loss truly means to him, his family, his friends. Our respect and condolences go to them, especially," Simon said in a statement on behalf of the show.
HBO is owned by Time Warner, the parent company of CNN.

Resistance to mind-altering substances is futile, according to a new "Secret History of Getting High in America"
Ryan Grim would understand this disconnect perfectly. One of the theses of his new book, "This is Your Country on Drugs: The Secret History of Getting High in America" -- a cornucopia of unconventional wisdom about our relationship to mind-altering substances -- is that the popularity of drugs waxes and wanes according to a complex sum of factors. One of those factors is the "perceived risk" of using a particular chemical, which also fluctuates. There's a tendency to idealize new drugs, as the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal did with a recently isolated narcotic in 1900. "There's no danger of acquiring a habit," it assured its readers about the drug that had just emerged from the labs of the aspirin manufacturer, Bayer. They named it heroin.Resistance to mind-altering substances is futile, according to a new "Secret... more

Mendocino County law enforcement busted a Redwood Valley methamphetamine lab late Wednesday that was estimated to have the capacity to produce about 10 pounds of the drug. Four people under the age of 20 were arrested.
"Around 9 p.m. last night we served a search warrant here for a reported methamphetamine lab," Lt. Rusty Noe of the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office said on Thursday.
When deputies arrived, the rural property with several outbuildings and a pond in the 9800 block of West Road was occupied by a 15- and 16-year-old.
"When we got here we found two juveniles," Noe said. A 15-year-old boy was arrested on existing warrants and a 16-year-old girl was released to Child Protective Services, he said.
While police were at the property, Larry Jason Wolfe, 19, who lived there, and Jordan Nunez, 18, of Ukiah, arrived in a vehicle.
Wolfe and Nunez drove to a nearby vineyard before they were taken into custody, Noe said.
Wolfe was arrested on suspicion of manufacturing methamphetamine and manufacturing hashish.
Nunez was arrested on suspicion of violation of probation and a warrant for evading arrest.
Agents of the Mendocino Major Crimes Task Force reported finding no significant amounts of methamphetamine at the property.
"They are moving it out as fast as they can," Noe said.
A California Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement team was there with its vehicle to help clean up the lab. Police were waiting for state hazardous materials workers to arrive.
Cleanup of the meth lab was under way Thursday morning.
"We are waiting on a state hazardous materials team to take all chemicals out," Noe said.
Inside a home on the property, a process using butane to make hashish was also found. Two barrels of water were indoors due to having the water shut off.
Among the items reported found were three five-gallon buckets, acetone, Coleman fuel, extracting chemicals and butane, an agent of the Major Crimes Task Force said.
Some of the ground near outbuildings on the property was strewn with miscellaneous containers and several old and small generators.
Involved with the bust and cleanup of the lab were the Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement, ReHit, Mendocino Major Crimes Task Force and the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office.
The case is not closed and more arrests are expected, according to the Sheriff's Office.
