As last night’s episode of Life on Mars concluded, I couldn’t help but wonder if other viewers are in the same boat that I’m in, merely continuing to watch the show only to complete our already invested time. Last night, the only thing we learned about Sam’s predicament in 1973 is that he’s come to […]
After nine episodes, it’s clear who has separated themselves from the pack on Real World: Brooklyn. Ryan, Chet and Katelynn are easily the most interesting and entertaining.
