Word has come out that “The Office,” which is currently going through a solid run of shows in an otherwise uneven season, will have some cast changes for a potential ninth season. First off, James Spader will not return as the enigmatic Robert California. I think this casting move never really paid off. There have […]
As I worked my way through Season 1 of Friday Night Lights this winter, I came to the slow realization why I did not originally watch the show. I have a hard time turning off my experiences around sports. I played almost every sport growing up. I dreamed of working as a sportswriter and spent […]
If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, you undoubtedly know I could not wait for the show Cougar Town to return to ABC last night. The long wait had finally ended. I threw myself headlong into the social media promotion headed by the show’s co-creator (and my non-sexual man crush) Bill Lawrence. I’m sure this bothered some […]
I don’t have a huge problem with Budweiser like some people do. Sure, I now prefer other beers to the “King of Beers,” but I had my days of loyal Bud drinking. I also don’t get too bothered when some art form gets a commercial use. If I hear a favorite song or artist in a commercial, […]
When TV Land started airing original programming a few years ago, I didn’t quote know how to react. They premiered “Hot in Cleveland” right as Betty White was everywhere you looked on TV. I haven’t watched the show, but figure a show which has lasted two seasons and has other veterans in the cast can’t […]

Maybe I assumed it would do a terrible job at representing sports, something which has made me turn off […]
My TV viewing plans for 2012 took a hit over the past couple of weeks as both “Community” and “Cougar Town” did not make the mid-season schedule. Both will eventually return to the air – Community to finish its third season and Cougar Town to start its third – but no one knows when. I […]
I spent a little time over the weekend catching up on Hawaii Five-O. For a variety of reasons (Monday Night Football, being old), I tend to wait for the show to build up a few episodes and watch a bunch at one time. Kind of like taking a huge handful of candy corn instead of […]
The first full week of TV season has come and gone. I wanted to get out my thoughts on a few of my shows, particularly the new ones we have started watching. Additions 2 Broke Girls: I liked the pilot, but not as much as I thought I would based on the commercials and what […]
This week, by far, ranks as one of my favorite weeks of the year. Finally, I can welcome stability and regularity back into my life. Of course, I am talking about the return of my favorite television shows to the small screen. Few things make me happier than having my entire week sketched out for […]
