Prior to attending, I had no plans to write anything up following a conference call with Candace Cameron Bure. But while she didn’t drop any breaking news on those of us who listened in, she did answer enough questions to leave me with the impression that the direction of Make It or Break It is […]
Over the weekend, my wife got the opportunity to preview tonight’s episode of Men of a Certain Age. And when she finished watching, she turned to me and asked what I’d meant in my series preview when I said that episode two was the beginning of the real show. “What’s the difference?” And I’ll answer […]
