Back when I used to work evenings, I watched a lot of goofy television during the day. One show I got to enjoy later than a lot of people was Mystery Science Theater 3000. If you haven’t even seen the show, it involves a guy and two “robots” who are forced to watch a bad […]
I want to like “Cougar Town.” I really do. I basically have a man crush on creator Bill Lawrence and can’t fathom the thought of him making a one-note, boring comedy. I hope he can prove me wrong. After two episodes, I’m not 100 percent sure I can stick with it. First, I want to […]
After yesterday’s post about The Baseball Project, I embarked on one of those inevitable Internet quests for more information on the band. That led me to this amazing story about the show in Athens, Ga., earlier this week. After a half hour break, the band came back up to do another full set joined on […]
When Mark Buehrle threw a perfect game earlier this year, I had last year’s album by The Baseball Project in heavy rotation. That immediately brought one question to mind – how would they work Buehrle into the song “Harvey Haddix.” The song chronicles the gem pitched by Haddix in 1959 where he pitched 12 perfect […]
All good relationships have to come to an end. I know this is for the best, but I thought we had another five to 10 years to go before things fell apart. I remember how one word came into my head when we first met – hot. I was unsure at first, but eventually managed […]
A week or so ago, New York anchorman Ernie Anastos dropped an f-bomb on live television. The picture below shows him and co-anchor Dari Alexander reacting after Anastos told their weatherman to “keep (having a loving and committed physical relationship with) that chicken.” Note the difference in reaction between the person who said the obscenity […]
I managed to go the entire season of “Big Brother” this past summer without writing about the show. Part of it is possibly because I, like many other fans, feel a little embarrassed about enjoying the show as much as I do. It really is addictive in that kind of way that makes you hate […]
Thirty years ago this month, something momentous happened in my life. I had a stroke of luck which would help define me up until this day. I got strep throat. More specifically, I got sent home from school with strep throat the same day that cable television was installed in our house. Talk about good […]
I hate the phrase “have to” as in “you have to watch this show” or “you have to find this funny.” A former co-worker would always respond to comments like that with a surly, “I don’t have to do anything.” I came to adopt that philosophy, if only to upset those who get personally wounded […]
The FCC is looking once again at the “wardrobe malfunction” at the Super Bowl 374 years ago. They still maintain that the nanosecond of Janet Jackson’s nipple was obscene. Really? We’re still on this? We’re still worried about a brief glimpse of a breast at a time when most people were in the kitchen eating […]
