Great Scott: A Call for Resurrection

Like Beavis & Butthead, Scott Towler enjoys using the word, erection. Whatever happened to Beavis and Butthead? It’s not like Mike Judge went anywhere. If anything, he’s only become more prolific in the past 10 years since the show has gone off the air. He penned Idiocracy and Office Space. King of the Hill is… Continue reading »

Great Scott: What Happened To SNL?

He’s Scott Towler and you’re not. My parents still tell me tales of when  “I’m Chevy Chase, and you’re not,” was was practically the national anthem during SNL’s first few years on the air. How there was nothing like it that had ever been broadcast before, and how NBC took a major gamble that turned… Continue reading »

Great Scott: Simon Says

It’s hard to avoid American Idol. It’s everywhere. On coke cans, at bus stops, tattooed on that hooker’s shoulder–everywhere. And after 6 & 1/2 years, it’s easy to see why this franchise ain’t goin’ nowhere: Simon. Pretty much whatever Simon says, goes. Whatever he decides on the show, that’s what they do. If he doesn’t… Continue reading »

Great Scott: When It’s All Said and Done…

The strike is over. So now what the hell do we do now? So many of us have been out of work, out of money, and tired of giving a shit about this strike. It seems odd that we’ll soon be immersed knee-deep in shows, pilots, movies and awards telecasts. But will Hollywood return to… Continue reading »

Great Scott: Reality Sucks

By the time you read this, Scott Towler will be best friends with not one but two Corey’s. How many Corey’s are you friends with? Reality sucks. This was my mantra, the one that I’d led my career by. I was wrong. Reality is king because there isn’t any scripted programming left. Well, at least… Continue reading »

Great Scott: In My Own Words

Scott Towler is striking because even Jesus got residuals from the Bible. Nobody outside of entertainment really cares about the writer’s strike in Hollywood. But they should. What happens here in Tinseltown directly affects the social fabric of our society today. Oh sure, you can try and deny it, but it’s 100% true. Much of… Continue reading »

Great Scott: America’s Worst Sportscasters

Scott Towler is all about reminiscing about back in the day. Like Ahmad. Except without the Gazelles or the BK’s. Remember the days of John Madden and Al Michaels hosting Monday Night Football? Remember how nice it was to hear the iconic voice of John Madden, perfectly complimented by Al “I do what John says”… Continue reading »

Great Scott!: A Closer Look at the Interlude

 Scott Towler is a terminator like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Though you can’t play him out as if his name was Sega. Call it what you want, Interlude, Intermezzo, Entr’acte, but they all mean the same thing. Sort of. Looking back at history and trying to decide when music became a part of stage (and in later… Continue reading »

Great Scott: Radio on the TV

Great Scott is a column by Scott Towler, a war-hero/football star based in Los Angeles. If you don’t believe me, check out his blogger profile. The only thing more truthful than a blogger profile is Wikipedia. In the wake of the success of Garden State and The O.C. Hollywood went compilation crazy. Hell, they even… Continue reading »

Great Scott! 5 of the Worst Movies Involving Rappers

Scott Towler has returned from licking his wounds over ABC’s refusal to grant him an interview regarding their “Go Green” campaign. He is now reasonably convinced that licking one’s own wounds is rather pointless and slightly weird. America loves rappers turned actors. It makes sense in theory. Good rappers are usually born performers and by… Continue reading »
