Promo Promo: OFF! With added Kids In The Hall
OK, it's only Dave Foley making an appearance in this double feature promo for OFF ...styled like a chunk of 80s public access TV. Don't worry, the songs are still only 60 seconds each.

Breaking Bad S5
teaser trailer for the new series, and a decent fan-made recap of S1-4 over at Collider - obviously spoilertastic if you haven't seen any of it yet. Starts July 15 in the States, which means we'll probably get it sometime around 2017 in the UK

More from the ever-evolving world of Community: an 8 bit trip c/o the warped mind of Hawthorne's dad, featuring Giancarlo "Gus" Esposito. In the words of Abed: cool-cool-cool. Expect to see it sometime in 2013 if you're in the UK and watching on Sony Entertainment

Trailer Park: Revolution
New NBC TV thriller with JJ Abrams' hands all over it: 15 years on from a global blackout everyone's fighting with swords, bows and arrows, there's a secret militia and someone's still got a green screen chatroom running ... Have to say, I'd be happy to give anything starring Giancarlo Esposito a shot after his sterling form in Breaking Bad

Trailer Park: Lilyhammer
Sopranos/E Street star Steve "Silvio - wait - was it Sal?" Van Zandt is back in Lilyhammer. This time he's a gangster in witness protection who asks to be sent to Norway (big fan of the 1994 Winter Olympics). Culture-clash comedy action to follow. It's a Netflix-only show in the US, which could be a sign of things to come; in the UK it's on BBC4

Ad Nauseum: WTF!? Star Wars Update
OK, here's Volkwagen's full Star Wars themed Superbowl ad. WTF!? Probably the worst use of Star Wars ever ...even worse than the Yodafone spot. Did Lucas give the major brands 3 minutes to come up with a concept if they wanted to cash in on his assets or something? Abominable.

Knebworth '90
At the turn of the 90s we were looking at a brand new decade. Clean and fresh, it would leave behind the excess of the 80s. Simple suits, hands-free technology. Things would be different.
Keep your eye on Phil Collins in this clip. When you're not looking he subtly sneaks behind the drums.
Jimmy Page coming on stage was one of the greatest musical moments of my life at that point.
Via The Cold Vein
Bonus Facts: Knebworth had a massive concrete skatepark on its grounds until the late 80s. It also doubled as Wayne Manor in Tim Burton's first Batman movie.
