When it comes to recurring characters on The Big Bang Theory, I’d rather see more of Leonard’s mother than Barry Kripke. I realize it costs more to fly her in from New Jersey, but it’s well worth the price.

Over the weekend, my wife got the opportunity to preview tonight’s episode of Men of a Certain Age. And when she finished watching, she turned to me and asked what I’d meant in my series preview when I said that episode two was the beginning of the real show. “What’s the difference?” And I’ll answer […]
