I’ve become a big fan of ESPN’s more informal programs. I already talked about Sportsnation, but the other one that I’ve really been digging lately is Around the Horn. Like any sports show, they talk about the major sports stories. Like First Take, the format is …

I had the Simpsons on yesterday afternoon and, for a change, the channel wasn’t showing a repeat that I had seen several dozen times before. Instead, they had a newer episode (at least for me) called Skinner’s Sense of Snow.

The problem with this episode …

The Food Network lover that I am, I tuned into this show and was amazed that it wasn’t a “cooking” show per se, but a food styling show. What was interesting is that all the stylists have a heavy background in cooking. But the actual …

I have seen a little bit of the show, “I Love New York”, and a few episodes of “Flavor of Love.” Both shows are completely exploitative of women. And this newest show, “I Love Money” seems to be the worst of them all. …

Maybe it was because I wasn’t feeling …

This review is for Adam-12’s third season episode of Log 25: Indians. One of the major things that stand out in this episode for me is simply the characteristics of Webb-TV. Webb-TV is what is used to refer to Jack Webb TV shows, primarily Dragnet, Adam-12, and …

The topic of Max Headroom: Lessons has to do in part with censorship, including the use of profanity. Now that’s a still relevant issue that continues to be controversial in our true reality.
