Yes, I wanted the Saints to win the Super Bowl for 2 reasons: 1) Drew Brees was my fantasy football quarterback and you gotta stand by your picks and 2) NFC South prevails. I’m really a Falcons fan. But Super Bowl Sunday is not just about the game for me. It’s also about the commercials. I’m one [...]
There are times when you love television networks. They stick their necks out for a show like Lost or X-Files or Chuck and they make your season. But sometimes… they suck. Here are a few times when the networks sucked: Pushing Daisies: Even though it was cancelled in 2008, the remaining episodes played in 2009, pouring salt on [...]
Be warned: Spoilers Abound Russell Davies, why must you make me cry on my birthday? The first part of the last episodes showing David Tennant as the infamous Time Lord was almost a complete travesty. The only truly memorable scenes, besides John Simm’s The Master’s inexplicable new mutant powers (he did kinda look like a Misfit, right?), [...]
I’m so excited! For those of you who have not watched the first two seasons, Chuck Season 1, consisting of 13 episodes, is on sale at many video retailers like Amazon.com, as well as streaming for free on the WB.com, here. Season 2 goes on sale Jan. 5, which gives you five days to watch [...]
I’ve already given my initial impressions of this week’s Glee, the first episode back after a grueling World Series in which I’m still not sure who won. Yes, I basically stayed away from Fox during the World Series and used Twitter as my gauge for whether going back to the channel was safe. While I have [...]

I have become such a big fan of Parks and Recreation. It could be because I mirror Ron Swanson’s love of breakfast food, maybe it’s because the writers made Leslie Knope a more realistic over-zealous character, maybe it’s because the writers have a better grasp on what makes each of the characters great and that [...] Continue Reading

Swap Meat is just the latest episode in the Supernatural saga that shows you just why you should be watching this show. (Spoilers ahead) The ep starts out with Sammie in a bar acting extremely weird. Extremely. Regular viewers know something is wrong. When it is revealed who is actually in Sam’s body, it makes sense. [...] Continue Reading

I don’t like it now. Why? Because the old symbol is so iconic to me. Maybe it is the sound of the T.A.R.D.I.S. alone that gets my heart to skipping that extra beat, but there has always been something about the orange eye that scrolls across the screen before showing the title DOCTOR WHO, something [...] Continue Reading

I love comedy. I love fantasy football. I love watching men being idiots. The League has it all. I love it. It is the first comedy that I’ve seen with semi realistic talking, although the outlandish situations are very sitcomish. The League is about a group of five guys who are friends and part of a [...] Continue Reading

Al Gore was AWESOME. His walk on role as the Green fairy with his made up African Proverb was the funniest bit of the show. The sun tea bit was pretty bad. The gay neighbor made me miss Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and the whole thing about having children felt like an agenda. [...] Continue Reading

SUPERRNATURAL-CON!!! I want to go to that! Especially if Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles are there. It’s funny, but I should have known what was going on when I saw the other Impalas in the parking lot. The Jackets, the “batman voices”, the LARPing, even the ghost story was awesome. With our natural inclination for wanting [...] Continue Reading

Oh. My. God. I love Sue Sylvester. This episode of Glee was excellent. Sometimes, all you need for breakfast is a little bite. Right, who am I kidding? I love breakfast, the whole kit and kaboodle. This episode reminded me of a class I took in college where we had to assume a disability. It just [...] Continue Reading

There is something about the way this show is filmed that makes it seem so real and yet so television at the same time. The television part is the football, the real part is the family. This week, Saracen learns something about suffering for art, Julie feels her mortality as Saracen’s boyfriend and Tami sees [...] Continue Reading
