Good news hit the wire yesterday. The return of “Scrubs” is only a month away. Creator Bill Lawrence announced earlier this summer his plans for the ninth season of the show, and we’ll see the new version of the hospital (now med school) comedy on Dec. 1. I like this news for a few reasons. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I feel very lucky that I grew up watching M*A*S*H almost as it happened. My family had an almost obsession with the show. In fact, I have almost every episode in my basement – on video tape from back in the early 1980s when we first got a VCR and would cue the thing up […]
In a couple of months, I have to the west coast travel for work. Sadly, it’s not Vegas. This will require some fairly long plane rides. I need entertainment. I will have my iPod and some reading material, but I want to take this chance to explore a new television series on DVD. I figure […]
I would like to say that the crushing disappointment of the end of Scrubs as we know it has kept me from blogging for a week, but, in reality, I have just been lazy. So what better to get me back into the blogging swing of things than a recap of last night’s finale. My […]
This time, the President has overstepped his boundries. I have put up with a couple of prime-time press conferences, mainly because they did not conflict with anything I watched. Now, he’s messing with “Scrubs.” The penultimate show of this season, which is supposed to the final season, will not air tonight because of the presser […]
