They should totally reboot that
This past season for television was not my favorite. Maybe it was me but nothing grabbed even my favorites did not get me going. The proof? I currently have 10 episodes of Grimm, which I love, and another 10 episodes of The Following, season one totally rocked. I found myself going back to old shows…

It was so much cooler then
I was up early on Saturday watching the cartoons my children watch. They seem to lack something, I don’t but they just didn’t seem to have same sense of fancy or wonder I was accustomed to growing up. It got me thinking about the good ole days. The days when I couldn’t wait to get…

The Best Medicine
I have been trying really hard to put comedy back in my life. I now listen to stand up in the car. I am watching last comic standing on NBC. I am trying to find half hour comedies that do it right. My only problem is every time I find that does it right it…

Nostalgia she’s a funny mistress
All those years ago we were so cool. You had to listen to the right music. Good music. Was there any other kind of music? I grew up in the 80’s. I was in metal bands all through the late 80’s. So I was well versed in Metallica, Dokken, Megadeath, Ratt, Poison, just to name…

Some of my favorite things
I love television. I mean I really love it. I have forgotten more shows than most people will ever watch. I have episodes that I just love to watch. Sometimes, when I am feeling nostalgic, i will simply seek out these episodes. Maybe the episode is reminiscent of time or maybe just takes me from…

R.I.P. 2013/2014
We had some shows come and go this year. Oddly enough I think the lack luster season was tarnished by the loss of the few shows that really stood out to me. I think we have once again cancelled some things for low ratings that could have built an audience and one I think was…

One more time around
This was a very lack luster television season, if you judge by the amount of writing I have done alone. Nothing really impressed me so much this year. Some of my old favorites even had me wondering what I was watching this for. Even Justified did not fully engross me; I know it is sacrilege…

Adios amigo
With the finale of Breaking Bad last night I got to thinking about which were some of my favorite endings? Which were the ones that irritated me? How can you truly end a show satisfactorily? I mean seriously we are about to lose a friend we have invited over once a week for many years.…

One and Done
Some shows just never quite make it happen. They get bounced around too much or they never really find an audience. Since the early 1990’s we have been living with what I call the “Seinfeld Effect”. Seinfeld was an instant hit. After only four episodes America had decided they wanted more. This is awesome. But…

You can’t go it alone
Our heroes are always tried and true. Our leading stars capture our hearts and minds. But can these stars make it without their supporting cast? Our weekly Don Quixote require their own Sancho Panza, besides the writers need someone to throw the good jokes to once in a while; someone to put through the ringer…
