Screen Invasion’s Favorite TV and Web Series of 2012
One of the best things about television is the variety of content and subject matter that is available for consumption.

Archer’s Chris Parnell shares…more than we ever needed to know
I had the opportunity along with my fellow pop culturists to interview none other than Chris Parnell who voices Agent Cyril Figgis on FX’s Archer. You may also know him from his character Dr. Leo Spaceman on 30 Rock, my personal favorite, or maybe even from his current stint on Suburgatory

The Best Commercial You Probably Missed from Super Bowl Sunday
Airing during the pre-game coverage, I know I missed this gem of a commercial on Super Bowl Sunday. Advertising all of NBC and its shows, the extended version spans nearly four minutes and features a musical number from How to Succeed in Business in Really Trying. Watch the casts of
