American Idol – A chink in the armor

Going into the elimination round for the week, I didn’t have any doubt about the demise of Matt Giraud. It was finally his turn to be ousted from American Idol and there was nothing that could save him this time. No judge’s save, no lesser contestant beneath him, no program-interrupting presidential special report. (It was […]

Supernatural – In which we meet Jimmy Novack, and Sam makes a big mistake

Well, I had all but forgotten that Castiel was inhabiting a vessel in pretty much the same way the demons do. While we didn’t get a whole lot of development in terms of breaking the seals, or Lilith, this week, “The Rapture” is probably going to go down in the Supernatural hall of fame as […]

Survivor Strategy 101: Whine, cry and lie … it actually works!

This is getting to be about the most annoying group of players I’ve seen in a long time. I have a new player that I think may just run away with the whole thing, and it’s more because of the crazy strategies the others are employing than any skill or merit this person has. As […]

The Office – Mutiny on the paper seas

So the voice of reason in the new Dunder-Mifflin is Phyllis? The new integrated office, which really just means that Charles Miner is gone and Michael, Pam and Ryan are back, is in bad shape. Morale is low, tension is high, and there’s a lot of bitterness over the clients that The Michael Scott Paper […]

30 Rock – Tracy plays the race card … literally

Hey everybody, I’m back! After my fun excursion to NPR-land last week, I have returned to save you from the scourge of Aryeh (just kidding, Aryeh). I thought last week was a funny episode. This post, however, is about this week’s episode. Like last week, this episode probably wasn’t for you if you watch 30 […]

Obama’s press conference? Enchanting, though not surprising.

I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned this, but I am the child of a bunch of socialist hippies. That’s right, my family is exactly who Rush Limbaugh warns you against. We’re those crazy weirdos who support things like gay marriage (can I get a shout-out from my Boston gays?), universal health care, and marijuana […]

Marvel X-Men, volumes 1 & 2: a review and a giveaway

Don’t get me wrong, I was a cartoon watching freak when I was a kid. Every time I read Rich Keller’s ‘Saturday Mornings’ posts, I find myself thinking, “yep, watched that thousands of times.” X-Men, though, was something I never got into, primarily because it didn’t debut until I was in college. I was into […]

Relativity – CliqueClack Flashback

Relativity is a little TV series that aired for just one season in 1996-1997. But I glommed onto it, and the show earned an Emmy nod, as well as two other industry awards. If they had just given it another season, the show might have endured for years. For starters, it was helmed by Edward […]
