  • This Torch is Brilliant

    Any of my regular readers will know that I don’t have cable television. I get a few channels in using rabbit ears but for the most part, I rely on borrowing DVDs from the library. I absolutely love that you can get full seasons of TV shows on DVD now. I’ve been enjoying several series […]


  • Classic Transformers

    I absolutely loved Transformers when I was a kid. It wasn’t a show about toys. It wasn’t just about robots that could change into cars, airplanes, or guns. It was so much more. These robots were real. They had motives, they had character traits, and you couldn’t help but get completely pulled in to the […]


  • Jericho Returns for a Third Season

    Jericho is an amazing television series that I have written about here time and time again. I was hooked on it from the very first episode. It drew me in and kept me on the edge of my seat for 22 episodes. Unfortunately, this amazing show didn’t have the numbers that the network wanted to […]


  • My Top 5 T.V. Shows (Reshuffled)

    1. Everwood 2. My So-Called Life 3. Star Trek 4. M.A.S.H. 5. Jericho Everwood has reclaimed the number one spot. It had to. If you’ve been reading my blog for any length of time, you will have heard me sing the praises of this excellent show countless times. If not, you can go back and […]


  • Spectacular Sopranos

    I have to admit that I never watched The Sopranos during its original run on television. I had heard all the hype over it but I just never got the chance to watch any episodes. That was until recently. I found that you could actually borrow entire seasons of the show from the public library. […]


  • My Beef with Disposable Razor Commercials

    I remember when the first razor came out that had three blades and how the television commercials praised this system as an amazing shave. Then four-blade razors came out.  And not to be topped, Gillette came out with a five-blade razor that had a sixth precision trimming blade on the edge of it. I got […]


  • Everwood Lives!

    Everwood is an amazing television series. I can’t say enough good things about it. It is powerfully written and has amazing actors and performances. I bought Season 1 on DVD as soon as it was released and waited for the other seasons to be released. I waited a long time. It looked like they weren’t […]


  • Upper Case Vs. Lower Case

    SOME PEOPLE SEEM TO REALLY LOVE UPPER CASE. I understand using upper case to emphasize a specific word or phrase in a piece of text. Of course, abbreviations and acronyms should also be written in upper case. What I don’t understand is how in children’s programs complete words are often written in upper case letters. […]


  • Tom Green is Hilarious

    Tom Green can be hit and miss when it comes to comedy sketches. But when he hits, he really hits. This skit is one of my favourites. I know that I sure can use a laugh in the middle of this week. I know it’s a short week due to the holiday, but I don’t […]


  • It’s All Doom and Gloom

    Dear Mr. Media, Whoever you are, can you please stop with all the doom and gloom reporting? I am sick and tired of turning on the television to discover the latest thing that threatens my life. First it was Killer Bees, then it was Mad Cow Disease. That was quickly followed by West Nile Virus, […]
