Six More Days
Summer TV comes a little early when American Gladiators returns on Monday night. NBC had a bug on the screen announcing the premier for a little while, but I finally saw a press release about it yesterday. The season will…
I’m Torn
I hate it when my favorite TV shows make me question my loyalty to them. I would never give up on “How I Met Your Mother,” but the news I saw this week has me shaking my head. Britney Spears…
