Last week I lauded the efforts of the small screen in recent years. Due to a variety of factors, television has managed to outshine its bigger, older brother when it comes to producing original and compelling entertainment. Well, I’m an equal opportunist, so this week I’m here to heap accolades upon my first love. I’ll […]

I have to wonder what folks without cable television watch in the summer if they don’t care for reality television.
