Former Massachusetts governor and presidential aspirant Mitt Romney has introduced the "Mitt Market." When the news first got out, it seemed that Team Romney made another boo-boo along the lines of advertising on gay.com. "Mitt Market" is awfully close to "meat market."

This was not a very happy week for the -ist network as one of our own, Phillyist co-editor Star C. Foster, passed away early in the week.

Is the state of television getting to be so poor (please see recent lineup of new reality shows and the cancellation of "Arrested Development") that we need to revert back to the days of Lynda Carter’s "Wonder Woman"? Well, it looks like it as AOL and Warner Brothers announced yesterday a partnership to bring 100 “vintage” shows to the Internet for all your viewing pleasure. Your favorites, like "Growing Pains", "Sisters", and the ever-popular "Welcome Back Kotter", will be airing exclusively on AOL for the price tag of zero dollars. Of course, to get this program, coined In2TV, which will total 300 episodes each month, you will be subjected to four 15-second commercials per show (puh-lease tell us they are “vintage” commercials…those Barbie commercials from ’86 are sweet!) and there will be no videotaping allowed of your favorite Kirk Cameron moment. Don’t expect to be seeing any popular syndicated programs like “Friends” online. Warner Brothers makes too much cash through syndication than to give it away for free. There will be trivia and games though to accompany each episode though.
