HOLLYWOOD, Calif.

Paley Fest, a yearly event dedicated to discussions about some of the best shows on television, broke from tradition this year by inviting smaller screen triumph “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-A-Long Blog” to the event.

LOS ANGELES, Calif.

I was watching last Friday’s episode of “Battlestar Galactica,” and it finally hit me: Only 3 more episodes to go before this landmark series comes to a close after 4 spectacular seasons on the Sci-Fi Channel. It may not have been a huge ratings hit (like, say, “American Idol” or “Dancing with the Stars”), but “Galactica” – or “BSG,” as it has come to be known – was thought-provoking TV at its finest, thanks to great stories and complex characters.
