Bio: While CliqueClack is my first foray into the blogosphere, it’s just one stop along my long journey in writing. With my first book of short stories bounded via copy machine when I was still a lad, my evolution along the trajectory of writing has far exceeded that of my drawing; that first book was fronted by a rather pedestrian hand drawing of “Leatherhead”, of TMNT fame, and my ability hasn’t grown beyond rudimentary since those days. But the baby’s cute!

The Good Wife – Could you share a bed with a hooker enthusiast?

Now this made for an interesting turn of events, didn’t it? Or at least some food for thought. Out of nowhere, we, and Alicia, were hit over the head with the possibility that Peter was on his way home on bail. Thus the episode’s title, “Unprepared.” I’ll tell you something, folks: I feel a little […]

ABC Tuesday night lineup – Clacking the dream

I’ve been thinking back, yet again, to the days of old. So many shows that have joined the annals of television history, some good, most bad. Actually, an overwhelming number of shows that have seen life have been bad. Yet in the totality of things, every network can boast at least one lineup of historical […]

NCIS – What was life like before computers?

It’s an interesting question, and certainly one we’ve come face-to-face with in the recent past. Those of us up and down the East Coast got hit with the big one back in 2003 … I walked 140 blocks back from work to my wife — then my fiance — getting in just before nightfall, which would have […]

Funny man J.B. Smoove guests on Castle

Weird to see J.B. Smoove, here as Norman Jessup, playing something other than the buddy on a comedy series. In fact, it was really weird to see him on Castle only 24 hours after watching his Leon Black pretending to be a Jewish accountant in order to allay Michael Richards’ fears of Grote’s disease, on […]

White Collar’s Mozzie makes it a threesome

I was reading Jen’s review of another great episode of White Collar, and I began to think about the role that Willie Garson’s Mozzie is coming to play on the show. Is he the third wheel (in a good, tricycle sort of way) to Caffrey and Burke? Well, let’s review what we know. Mozzie is […]

Is sitcom quality limited by a finite amount of available humor?

Or, put another way, is there only so much funny out there in TV land that if another success story shows up, or something already on the air gets better, everything else is destined to get worse? Maybe it’s that as individual viewers we’re only allotted so much laughing in a week. I don’t know […]

Curb Your Enthusiasm stages a Seinfeld table read

I don’t know about you, but I was very excited for this week’s episode of Curb, and I was not disappointed. From the Monk’s Cafe and Jerry’s apartment stage sets, to Newman (Wayne Knight) walking through Jerry’s door, it felt like old friends getting together again. Which it was. All that was sorely missed, by […]
