Dear CBS Sports Bigwigs, First of all, my congratulations to you on the deal of the century. Your exclusive rights to men’s basketball for eleven years cost you six billion dollars, which, while rich, is a mere drop in the bucket compared with the ad revenues that you’re reaping as we speak. Which is possibly […]
I’m going to write a number down for you … forty-one. Do you happen to know what the significance of this number is other than one less than the answer to life, the universe and everything? This number, dear friends, is the amount of years that Batman has appeared on television in animated form. Starting […]
I’ve been railing against Michael Sarver ever since he got into the top 12, but now, I think I’ve changed my mind. At least for this week, that is. Really, he’s grown on me just the teensiest bit, and yeah, partially due to the fact that he got all choked up talking about his daughter. […]
I’m noticing a pattern here, people — follow along with me, if you will. Last October, we get the news that Showtime’s Dexter is renewed for not one, but two more seasons. A big yay from me, as there really isn’t much TV that’s better than Dexter. Then, just this month, we learn that NBC […]
Each episode of 24 this season has been getting better and better, but there have been several things that have made me think, okay, that would never happen. I mean, with a show like 24, obviously, you’ve gotta think that Jack Bauer wouldn’t keep having these Really Long Days year after year. He must be […]
If it wasn’t for Ryan, this season of Real World: Brooklyn would be pretty much unwatchable. Chet and Katelynn have had their moments, but Ryan is easily the most compelling figure in the house. An Iraqi Freedom Army vet, Ryan is still dealing with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and has been dreading a possible […]
I was flipping through the channels yesterday afternoon, when I came upon a rerun of My Wife and Kids on ABC Family. Instead of continuing to flip the channels, I stopped. It had been quite a while since I sat down and watched the Damon Wayans sitcom, but they were doing a special episode in […]
Every kid at one time or another has thought about becoming a superhero, and Batman was the key. Most of the other superheroes — Superman, Green Lantern, Flash — had unobtainable super powers. Batman? He was just a regular guy with ninja-like skills, a cool car and a belt full of gadgety awesomeness. If Bruce […]
Friday is a big, big, day where Dollhouse is concerned. The sixth episode, “Man On The Street,” is finally upon us, and all signs point to it being where the series really hits its stride. Or so we’ve been told, for weeks. (It leaves me thinking of those old Heinz “anticipation” commercials.) And it couldn’t […]
Did everyone else enjoy that verbal smackdown that Sawyer gave Jack at the end of this episode as much as I did? It was a long time coming, and it was brilliant! It was about time someone called Jack out for what he truly is: a knee-jerk reactionary egomaniac. Even now that he’s back on […]
