Dude. When I was a teenager, I was obsessed with Sifl and Olly. I don’t even know how to explain it, but I can tell you this: sock puppets are awesome. It started when I was around 14. My older brother was staying with us after he had surgery on his knee, and we were […]
It’s too soon for me to be getting tired of repeats, right? Don’t fret none, Virginia; there is new programming on this summer. In a few weeks, we’ll be entrenched in Michael Westen’s latest hijinks on Burn Notice, Royal Pains’ jaunty fun and Nurse Jackie‘s quirky and complicated life. Until then: If you missed The […]

I hesitate to call this a series finale because the talk of a move to syndication is still out there. It remains a long shot, but let’s hold off calling it done until there is official word. That unknown fate of the show obviously factored into how this season finale played out. The dominoes were […]
What a tease! How does a show add a great character, guest or no, and then just yank them out from under us as soon as we’ve grown to love them? Unfortunately, I’m not sure that we’ll ever get an answer to the “Where’s Andy?” question. While I can’t find confirmation of it, I assume […]
