With the 2008-2009 network television season in the bag, and a dreary 2009-2010 season to look forward to, I find my mind a wandering back in time. As easy as it is to stumble back on The West Wing anyway, my stroll was aided by a recent conversation being held over the highs and lows […]
As I write this, it is a Tuesday afternoon, and I’ve got stuff I should be doing. The garden needs attention, I’ve got laundry to do, my mother has hinted that she may need help with something-or-other, and I probably should consider getting exercise at some point.

My theory is that people — especially women — love The Closer‘s Brenda Leigh Johnson because she’s ditzy, scattered and loves junk food. You know, like the rest of us out here.

(Season 1, Episodes 11 – 15) Apologies for taking so long to get back to this. Some of you may remember I was starting to hate this show. How did I put it? Ah, yes: “Bitches. The lot of them.” And it really doesn’t get any better. However, something strange kicked in around Episode 12 […]
