Blinded by the Lights
As I worked my way through Season 1 of Friday Night Lights this winter, I came to the slow realization why I did not originally watch the show. I have…
Why the Return of ‘Cougar Town’ Mattered to Me
If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, you undoubtedly know I could not wait for the show Cougar Town to return to ABC last night. The long wait had finally ended. I…
Budweiser Steals Idea for Commercial
I don't have a huge problem with Budweiser like some people do. Sure, I now prefer other beers to the "King of Beers," but I had my days of loyal Bud drinking.…
Don’t Cross Off “The Exes”
