It’s a story that is just not going to go away. The Screen Actors Guild negotiating committee passed an advisory motion to the national board that recommends a strike authorization vote of the membership. In addition, they ask that the board adopt a resolution supporting the action, and recommending that membership vote in favor of […]
3:00p/2:00 Central The White Sox and the Rays finally get their ALDS Game 1 on. Then at 6:00p/5:00 Central Milwaukee tries to even up their series with the Phillies in NLDS Game 2. 8:00p/7:00 Central Ratings for NBC’s My Name is Earl are in the toilet. Were people that put off by the extended coma, […]
(Season 4, Episode 6) Stop the presses! Hold the phone! Hit the brakes! I may have had a change of heart about a former decision. As some of you may know I had previously mentioned that Michael Badalucco’s intern character on a recent episode of Bones was the perfect replacement for Zack Addy. He was worldly, […]
My father is of the belief that certain old-school views of manhood ought to be brought back into our sometimes too-PC society. In fact, when he talks about my generation of men, wrapped as we were in the warm glow of mandatory self-esteem training, he uses words that rhyme with “Mussy” and “Bomo”. There’s a […]
Remember Crash? You should; it won the Oscar for best film back in 2006. It featured a large cast of diverse characters, interacting and causing trouble for each other (including Matt Dillon, Ryan Phillipe, Sandra Bullock and Don Cheadle). The film spoke to differences in people and has been adapted into a television series premiering […]

While Goren was always odd, he’s gotten stranger (and a lot chubbier and unkempt) over the years. Now we all know that […]

Along with the usual initial 13 episodes order it received a few months ago, Fringe‘s first season will be of 22 episodes. The series, starring cutie Dawson’s […]
(Season 2, Episode 1 – Season Premiere) I’m not usually the person who cares about shows dealing with the filthy, filthy rich. Maybe it was the presence of Peter Krause, or the always reliable Donald Sutherland, or maybe it was just that this show seemed to revel in just how disgustingly rich the Darlings were, […]
(Season 2, Episode 1 – Season Premiere) Either get back on top of me and shut up, or keep talking and watch me walk out that door.” – Charlotte to Cooper Life is messy, isn’t it? Especially if you’re one of the doctors at the Oceanside Wellness Group. Nice place for a clinic. Plenty of drama, though. OK, […]
(Season 2, Episode 1 – Season Premiere) It’s a second season premiere, but it’s more like a series premiere. Hell, this show got modest ratings its first time around and then it went off the air for nine months. If it weren’t for all the Emmy buzz, who would even remember it existed? When we […]
