God bless the U.S. District Court! While I’m not too familiar with this section of the federal judiciary I’ve been told by dozens of television pundits that I should hate and despise them for their liberal rulings and, basically, the dismantling of society. So, like a lemming, I go with the flow. However, one of […]
Those of you who followed my antics at TV Squad know I took on an ambitious project: chronicling the era of Saturday morning programming from 1965 to the end of the 20th Century. For those of you who didn’t follow me on TV Squad, uh, see the above sentence. Beginning last year I chronicled a year’s worth […]
We drink and we pillage and we do what we please We get all that we want for free We’ll kick your ass And rape your lass Somalian pirates we So with a yo ho ho And with a yee hee hee We take to the African sea We’ll brave the squalls And bust your […]
The FOX network is known for many things. Shuffling their schedule around on a yearly basis to squeeze out 500 weekly viewing hours of American Idol is one. Another is canceling new shows right after their very first commercial break. Jerking around Joss Whedon is yet a third. But the one thing that FOX has […]

There’s a good reason why I find her, her plastic surgery, her bad haircut and eight pounds of extensions, and her crass non-humorous humor delightful, and it’s a good reason. And that reason? Is because I’m a girl. […]
I’m new to the science fiction series Primeval. Well, that’s not exactly accurate. I caught the first couple episodes of season two last summer on BBC America, but I was a little confused. I was hoping the network would re-air the first season at some point. It didn’t happen. I could have gone out and […]
The Unusuals is really sucking me in, and I’ve gotta say, I can’t wait to see what happens in tonight’s episode. After the first episode, I wrote about how Shraeger and Walsh were the most mesmerizing characters on the show. But tonight, I’m changing my tune and spreading the love to Delahoy and Banks. Their […]
I’m undoubtedly approaching broken-record status, but Rescue Me weaves disparate topics into its episodes better than any other series on television. Whether it’s the absurdity of painting a bar completely black or the shock of one man praying to God for another man to die, the writers fearlessly combine the ridiculous and the sublime on […]
While not as lackluster as last week, this Tuesday night version of American Idol doesn’t deserve much talking about with two interesting exceptions. Read on, McDuff … and don’t blink. This is the short version: Photo Credit: FOX
Oh, television! You thought you could make a difference, once upon a time. I mean, other than satisfying that niche of viewers who need to see a reality show starring Lorenzo Lamas. You had heart, you had meaning. You were — dare I say it — altruistic. So, when you wanted to address the topic of pollution […]
