As the landscape of television continues to change, Amazon has decided to jump in with a unique experiment – Pilot Season. Everyone who goes to the site now has access to pilots for 14 potential shows – six kids shows and eight comedies. These will be available for a few more weeks for free with […]
Because I grew up with seven older siblings, I developed a great appreciation for classic television. I have great memories of the shows I grew up with – “ChiPs,” “Three’s Company,” and the Saturday night tandem of “Love Boat” and “Fantasy Island” – but I also cut my comedy teeth on the “Dick Van Dyke […]
We have a problem, people. A problem with our television sets. Actually, I feel no animosity toward the sets themselves. The developments in television technology never fail to astound me, and I can’t wait to see what comes next. But the things that appear on my screen have started to bum me out more and […]
Tonight, I will lose some friends. “30 Rock” airs its final episode, an hour-long finale. I have had my ups and downs with the NBC comedy over the years, but the approach of this final 60 minutes has me realizing how much I will miss Liz Lemon in my life. Sure, I will also miss the rest […]
I often keep watching TV shows simply out of habit or because I feel a sense of loyalty after putting hours and hours into finding out where the characters will go. In the case of “How I Met Your Mother,” I am beginning to question my commitment to the latter concept. We know how the […]

Against my better judgment, I turned on TLC the other night. You know, the channel which takes the worst part of American society and glorifies it through reality television. But the old “even a blind squirrel finds an acorn” adage certainly rang true as I sat down to watch the exploits of five Amish folks […]
I will occasionally review my favorite TV shows, sometimes a few days late. These won’t be recaps, but general and specific observations from someone who thinks way too much about this kind of stuff and doesn’t get too overly negative if an episode doesn’t make him bacon and massage his feet. I had a lot […]
I love this time of year. You can feel the difference in the air. A special electricity surrounds us. You could blame it on the change from summer to autumn, but something else gives me this feeling – I can see the new television season on the horizon. I have not had as hard of […]
At this point of the summer, I usually find myself filled with opinions on the latest news from the CBS reality show “Big Brother.” This is only series in the genre which I watch, and I typically go in whole hog. Well, not completely because I don’t buy the live feeds, but I typically follow […]
