Holding Out Hope
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 […]
A Study in Contrasts
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 […]
