On Media

+ Though ABC's upcoming "Cavemen" has been roundly dismissed before airing its first episode, at least the promos look pretty decent. There are a couple of slo-mo shots to simulate hidden-camera video of the title characters out partying at the clubs.

Will you watch "Cavemen?"

+ This week's Sports Illustrated has some good letters to the editor regarding Michael Vick. One reader opines, "After years of seeing athletes being convicted of spousal abuse, the lopsided outrage over dogfighting shows the insanity of our society. Dogfighting is bad but nowhere near as horrible as a man beating his wife or girlfriend."

And another reader urges, "Let me, with just five words, caution everyone running in all directions because a sports star has apparently done something that is revolting: Remember the Duke lacrosse team."

A third reader with a little bit of a sense of humor writes in: "Where is a Paris Hilton story when you need one?"

What's your take on Vick?

+ Best Hour Of Comedy You've Never Watched:
It's on cable. It's on kind of later on Sundays. And no, it's not "Entourage" and "Flight Of The Conchords."

IFC airs "The Business" and "The Minor Accomplishments Of Jackie Woodman" from 11 p.m. to midnight each Sunday.

Each show is in its second season, but since it's IFC, you probably haven't watched either of them.

Both shows are excellent. "The Business" shows a male-heavy movie production house high on sexual immaturity and low on office correctness. Smartly written and surprisingly well acted, the show is carried by prude producer Kathleen Robertson (Beverly Hills, 90210), but strongly backed by the childish antics of her male co-workers. eBay has the first season available on DVD for as low as $3.99.

Laura Kightlinger writes and stars in "The Minor Accomplishments . . .," a story about two women who do their best to derail any professional or even social successes that approach them. Kightlinger has been a stand-up staple for years, and even became a regular on the underappreciated and eventually canceled "Tough Crowd With Colin Quinn." She's actually pretty funny, and much like herself in real life, her title character is far sexier than she's given credit for. First season available right now on eBay for $.99.
