I intended to write about Breaking Bad tonight. It’s been ridiculously wonderful lately. I flipped on the TV for some background noise and came across the season finale to Russell Simmons Brave New Voices
The show follows the 45 teams in the Youth Poetry Slam. These teens are ridiculous! Do you ever watch people that make [...]

Last week I DVR’d the premiere of HBO’s newest offering, The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency. Don’t let the two-hour opener scare you off. It’s an excellent program with a heart and a ton of potential.
The show is based off the novels of Alexander McCall Smith. Like the books, the show revolves around Mma Ramotswe, [...]

Big Love is coming back on January 18. You can ask Bill Paxton a question on the Season Pass blog. My question: Does he know how ridiculous he looks on the Twister Experience at Universal Studios Florida?
Tori Spelling is *this close* to coming back to 90210. Since the old folks are the only thing making [...]

Howdy Ho! This week was a snap.
Marry: Jason Segel
I took a vacay all last week and I spent a majority of my time truly relaxing. To that end, I watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall and I’m knee deep into How I Met Your Mother on DVD. I started with season 1 on Friday and I’m already [...]

I’m watching A Charlie Brown Christmas. Everytime I watch this, I think about having a son and naming him Linus.
Lucy: You think you’re so smart with that blanket. What are you gonna do with it when you grow up?
Linus: Maybe I’ll make it into a sportcoat.
You tell her Linus! Don’t let anyone change you.
On to [...]
New Must-See Premium TV (Guest Blog)

Lately it feels as if HBO has been spiraling down a path of no-good, poor choice making shamefulness. After I gave up on Entourage I felt there was little programming worth even reading about on the premium channel I once loved.
However, it’s all looking up and the hope can be found in Summer Heights [...]

Today I decided to peruse through my On Demand menu to find something enjoyable to watch while I ate lunch. I stumbled into the HBO Series section and decided to watch the pilot episode of The Life & Times Of Tim. I have never been so instantly rewarded in my life.
TL&TOT is an animated comedy [...]
