Don’t drink and drive. Do not operate heavy machinery after taking this medication. We hear these cautions left and right. Don’t show up to work stoned, or get hammered at lunch; not necessarily things anyone tells you, but rules to live by nonetheless.

The brief back-and-forth I recently had about shows and their creators (following a great review of the Scrubs premiere) led me to pay a visit to my DVD bookcase. Over the years, my wife and I have assembled quite the collection of TV on DVD, and every few months I cycle back to the beginning […]
