Welcome to The TV Blog Coalition.

This is the maiden voyage of our you-scratch-my-back,-I’ll-scratch-yours link exchange project. Our goal is to bring you the best of the TV blogosphere every week, all in one convenient package. Not that you shouldn’t be visiting these sites daily, clicking their ads and buying their t-shirts.

If you visit the member blogs over the weekend, they’ll be posting this same content — boosting internet traffic for one and all. But, for now, you’re on TiFaux. Take a look at our first post here.

BuzzSugar: We reminisced about My So-Called Life and wondered how well everyone remembers it. We mulled over the current state of Heroes. We thought HBO’s In Treatment sounded more intense than a college course. And we actually liked Blake Lewis’ first single post-American Idol. Yeah, we know.

Daemon’s TV: Sandie finds weird couples on TV and shares her new TV addictions (Supernatural, Malcolm in the Middle, and Torchwood). In addition, she gets a first look at Rachel Bilson (Summer in The O.C.) in NBC’s Chuck.

Give Me My Remote: The TV Writer’s Strike is on everyone’s minds, but there’s still a lot of TV to talk about in TV land. GMMR is shocked to discover that she misses Karen Filipelli on The Office, but not shocked that she isn’t missing Cameron, House and Foreman on House. Should she be? And her readers are wondering if her love for all things Pushing Daisies is healthy or something they should be worried about. GMMR ended her week as she always does by catching up on all the latest TV news with a cocktail.

Glowy Box: Liz answered questions posed by the Googling masses about Desperate Housewives, The Bachelor, and Grey’s Anatomy. She also marveled at the extreme improvement in Desperate Housewives’ writing this season, and shook her head and sighed at Brad’s poor decision-making skills on The Bachelor.

Mikey Likes TV: Mikey listed the many ways in which he’s disappointed by Heroes: Generations, was surprised by how much he likes the new season of Nip/Tuck and forgot about it all after news of Joss Whedon’s blissful TV partnership with Eliza Dushku.

Ramblings of a TV Whore: We recalled about our favorite Halloween episodes from classic Roseanne to Buffy the Vampire Slayer to Ugly Betty. Plus, Rae found out about Joss Whedon’s new show, Dollhouse, which proves she’d follow him anywhere… even to Fox.

Scooter McGavin previews the first two episodes of Nip/Tuck. And then he listened to the new Britney Spears album so you don’t have to. You’re welcome.

Tapeworthy: Vance is watching Project Runway Canada until Heidi and Tim return. He defends Chuck over Reaper, and like everyone else, is still all over Pushing Daisies , especially after their Halloween episode. Finally, Vance thinks they sure can dance at the So You Think You Can Dance Live Tour in Toronto!

Televisionary: This week, Jace was overjoyed about Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse, dubious about the rumored Office spinoff, disappointed in Chuck, furious about FOX’s US version of Spaced, and enraptured by Pushing Daisies. Also, his blog came in third place in Hey Nielsen’s first annual TV Blog competition. He’d be a really happy boy if Joss actually had those seven scripts written.

TiFaux: Which TV character has the biggest daddy issues — Lost‘s John Locke, Dexter or maybe Dirty Sexy Money‘s Nick George? The new episode of Reaper reminded Kyle of the new DVD package of Twin Peaks. Also, we suggested some last-minute TV-oriented Halloween costumes inspired by Pushing Daisies and Heroes.

The TV Addict: Wondering how the writer’s strike is going to effect your favorite shows? Check out Our Writer’s Strike for Dummies. Need proof that writer’s are actually worth the money — see our favorite quotes of the week! Curious as to this TV Addict’s take on the strike, click here. Tired of all this strike talk already — take a trip down memory lane with our Scranton OFFICE Convention diary.

TV Filter: We argued about whether “Chuck” is more like “Buffy” or “Veronica Mars.” Raoul interviewed Ebony from “America’s Next Top Model” and got all the good dirt on why she decided to leave the show. Kate managed to write up this week’s episode of “The Next Iron Chef” without mentioning Andrew Knowlton’s name even once.

TV With MeeVee: We’re going wOOt crazy on Writer’s Strike Updates. We’re finding Criss Angel something less than phenomenal. We’re mocking NBC’s Green Week, while at the same time kinda respecting it. And we’re all over the new season of “Project Runway.”

And that thing is Brian Williams on SNL.

Remember when Tina left the show and Brian Williams showed up at the Weekend Update desk, not believing that he didn’t get the gig? Remember when Brian Williams was a giant talking head in Jon’s studio? This is going to be great. And not affected by the strike, .

I’ve found myself snickering lately over the usage of songs I recognize on big-time TV shows. So I thought I’d use this opportunity to talk about music under the guise of a TV blog.

First up, there was Northern State on Grey’s Anatomy. Northern State is a pretty ridiculous band that I can’t help but love — a trio of white girl rappers who are unself-conscious in their nerdiness. It’s like my friends decided to form a rap group — Jewish girls with masters degrees singing about liberal politics and ice cream socials. The song the folks on Grey’s used is called “Better Already” and has a more rock-ish vibe than what I am used to hearing from them.

Here’s the silly, if weirdly lovable, video.[kml_flashembed /nBVt5Hlgyuk" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]

Next, there’s the Apple commercial with Cansei de Ser Sexy. Like Northern State, CSS is made up of a bunch of wacky ladies, but this band is made up of raunchier stuff (sample song title: Let’s Make Love and Listen to Death From Above). Their song “Music is My Hot Hot Sex” is the background music for the new iPhone commercial that NBC has been playing like crazy, although it’s sanitized to “Music is My Hot Hot Bed.”

Here’s the real video.[kml_flashembed /-N3OrZzPud8" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]

Finally — there’s a decidedly silly vibe in all of these clips — there’s Chuck’s use of “Yea Yeah” by Matt and Kim. They’re a boyfriend/girlfriend band who play organ and drums — cute stuff. This is a pretty fun video too, what with the food fighting.[kml_flashembed /4Yg-CgIwaHs" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]

Things I Liked:

1. Jon, on the latest Democratic presidential debate: “It’s like the world’s most boring Neil LaBute play.”
2. In the boring moments of Reaper, Sam’s cute little freckly nose.
3. Evil Horse Lady insulting Kristin Chenowith’s cleavage on Pushing Daisies.
4. Free taco day. I didn’t eat one, but it still makes me laugh.

Things I Disliked:

1. Lily’s out-of-control financial irresponsibility on HIMYM (because girls love to shop, didn’t you know?), and that she’s lying to Marshall about it and has been for years, and that they made me hate Lily.
2. No Kristen Bell on Heroes.
3. The extreme grossness of the man with sludge blood on House.
4. See number 1. I understand why they did it for the story — it would’ve been terrible for her to make Marshall take the soulless job just to save her ass — but she’s lying to him. And she’s lying for such a stupid reason! I don’t like this. I don’t like this at all.
