We — as in, my household of two adults and two kids — love watching American Idol during the winter months. It comes on in January, just about the time we’re going stir-crazy here in the North Woods, and carries us into the spring months. I know Idol has gotten a bad rap lately, but […]
When last we left our beloved Michael Westen, he had just sprung from a helicopter after telling the elusive “management” responsible for revoking his spy license to go screw. That was last season. The completion of a leisurely ocean swim had Mikey on the run from Miami’s finest. His name released to local law enforcement […]
(Season 2, Episodes 7-9) While I like this set of episodes a lot more than I liked the last three, I am really starting to hate Nancy.

When I learned that Sesame Street was turning forty, my reactions were roughly as follows: I love Sesame Street! Holy crap, I’ve only been alive for half of that and I still feel old. I’ve got to clack about this. And then, of course, I went about doing so. But it’s a bit more complicated […]
Tonight’s big TV news is that the new season of Burn Notice is premiering on USA. However, if you still need to catch up on that show like I do, there are plenty of delightful reruns on TV tonight to keep you busy. Miss the first season of True Blood? HBO2 is airing the first […]
