I Want To Go To There
I have to give my friend Dave Lifton (via Liz Chang) the credit for this one. What a way to bring out my M*A*S*H obsession. Growing up, my family watched…
TV Goes 1-for-2
I had hoped to harness all my blind rage yesterday into a post about the news that CBS has paid jackass, blowhard, tough guy ESPN radio host Colin Cowherd to…
Olbermann’s Schtick is Old
We have heard many people talk about Keith Olbermann lately. Many, many people. Too many people. In case you have been hiding under a rock or are smart enough to…
Tuning In
Life has its way of bringing conflict our way. That is pretty much one thing we can always count on whether we like it or not. Take, for example, the new remote control for our cable boxes.
I really love new advances in technology. I might not always buy the new gadget or gizmo right away, but I really do appreciate it when something new comes along. Sometimes, I even envy those who immediately take the plunge.
But I also know that sometimes companies foist something new on us for no real reason at all except to give us something new so we are distracted. This is when I start to lose my faith in most everything.
I think this might be the case with the new-fangled remote the cable company has rolled out recently. I only see one or two real benefits to the change, which makes me learn all new locations for the buttons on the thing.

My Kingdom for Reruns
I feel lost. Completely lost. Not lost with a capital letter at the beginning because I don’t watch that show. But that’s part of the reason I feel so lost.
TV season has ended. How will we carry on for the next few months?
For some reason, the whole thing snuck up on me. When I wrote a column a few weeks back about breaking up with Grey’s Anatomy, I didn’t realize that the end of the season was so close.
I might have hung on for a few more episodes if I knew the summer season would come so soon.
Remember when we loved this time of year because we could watch re-runs? We used that word around my daughter once, and she looked at us like we broke out in Chinese.
Separated at Birth?
I had a hankering for some comedy at lunch yesterday and decided to watch an old episode of Newsradio on Hulu. It was the one where Jimmy James faked his…
#$!&@* the Heck?
NBC announced its new fall schedule over the weekend. The good news is that we are in the post-Jay Leno experiment era. The bad news is that the people who…
