Every year, Mr. Echo and the minions look for "The Show." We've brought you "24" and "Heroes" and "Lost" in the past, making life just a little sweeter for the TV junkies out there. This September, we've searched high and low, far and wide, on top and on bottom for the next "big" show.

We've found it with ABC's "Flash Forward."

The premise of "Flash Forward" is that everyone in the world passes out at the exact same moment due to some mysterious global event. But this isn't just some ordinary blackout - the world's population gets a glimpse of its collective future while hugging the ground. Why did it happen? And will the futures become fulfilled -- or can they be avoided.

Join us Thursday at 7 p.m. on ABC for this year's great adventure and we'll figure out this mystery together.

What has happened to Jack in the Box? Seriously? Their commercials have just become INSANE! First we have the little dance for the buffalo mini sandwiches, then came the "little people" herding little cows (which was hilarious, but still) .... and now we have a commercial for the fast food giant's "Rip-It Off" game where men and women run up to Jack and rip off their clothes, standing there in their undies.

It doesn't happen often, but the minions got restless the other night, so we hopped in the motor carriage and took in the latest Adam Sandler flick, "Funny People."

Mr. Echo is not the sharpest crayon in the box, but it didn't take long for me to look up the word "irony" on the Blackberry. You see, "Funny People" didn't have many funny people in it. I figured it out pretty quick into the movie. And yes, I'm impressed with myself.

I give. I have been defeated. I am humbled by the Website Master. How do I pay homage to someone so much smarter than myself? 100 year old scotch? A box of Cuban cigars? The boxed set of "O.C."? 

Why the self-defeating prose? It's simple: Mr. Echo has been smashed!

The Hot List

This week, the Hot List is gonna tackle the greatest Christmas movies of all time -- or at least Mr. Echo’s favorite movies (sorry “White Christmas” ... you didn’t make the cut. This is a Mr. Echo list!)
