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!

Eleventh Hour – Will it make the cut?

In a word, yes. I believe it will. I hope. I know; where’s the suspense in that? Well, I think this television season has given us all enough to be tense about without forcing you to wonder what conclusion I’m inevitably going to draw. You can thank me later for postponing your TV-anxiety-induced heart attack. […]

The Tudors – The Reformation begins – Season three premiere

I’m a big fan of the English monarchy. The lifecycle of Britain is absolutely fascinating, and the Tudor dynasty was one of its most colorful. Deep breathe everybody: King begat Duke, whose illegitimate son, John Beaufort, had a granddaughter, Lady Margaret. By Margaret’s marriage to Edmund Tudor, illegitimate half-brother of King Henry VI, she became […]

The Celebrity Apprentice – They ALL sucked

This one threw me for a loop. I have plenty to say, and I certainly never shy away from editorializing, but to avoid getting bogged down in some of the insanity from last night, let’s just start from the beginning. First of all, last week I noted that I felt Tionne Watkins was an angry […]

Greek takes us home to Cyprus-Rhodes

I have no idea why Greek and random songs keep on meeting in my head, but I guess joy leaks out of us all in different ways. So, wow! The great thing about cable shows is how, even when you’ve already seen the episodes, you can watch the repeats marathon again before the new season’s […]

30 Rock – Page-ing Kenneth Ellen Parcell

I have a mixed relationship with 30 Rock. I tried it when it first aired on NBC back in 2006. I quickly passed. And, that had nothing to do with the fact that I loved Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip; the two have absolutely zero in common. Rather, it just wasn’t funny for me. […]

The Celebrity Apprentice – It’s Stevie B!

This week on a very special The Celebrity Apprentice … celebrity intervention? You know, I firmly salute anyone with the courage to sit a friend down and confront them about their problem with alcohol or drugs (or magic. Go Barney!) But there’s a time and a place! This week, the time and place chosen by […]

American Idol – Eight is enough!

Yeah, no, I’m not talking about for the run of the show. Although, believe me, I can’t stand the fact that 99% of the people who’ve made it through the auditions in the seven years that I’ve been watching have been unable to sing. We can certainly agree to disagree, but this year Danny Gokey […]
