Sesame Street has really upped their game over the last few years. Adding pure satire and parody that is clearly aimed at parents more than the children. Recently, they did a spoof of the brilliant Michael Keaton masterpiece, Birdman, and though you will have to have seen the movie to understand how well it fits, […]
Here is the general rule about ‘pain in the butt’ bad guys (from movies, TV, and gaming). True villains never die. They never really go away. They may vanish for a bit or lull an audience into a false sense of security, but that’s their job. The reality is, when you LEAST want to see […]
Nerds on TV have always been sort of hit-or-miss. You either see a show where a nerd is properly represented, or you see a character like Urkel, who epitomizes everything pop culture has wrong about nerds. Thankfully, over the last decade (with the meek inheriting the Earth and all), the way nerds have been represented […]
For fans of the series, The Walking Dead left off on a major bummer (which made for incredible TV) and left a lot of us wondering how the group would fare in the second half of the season. Judging from the “Another Day” teaser trailer, things aren’t looking any brighter. Very curious to see how […]

I was reluctant to watch Legend of the Seeker to start, owing to the fact that I was very lukewarm about Terry Goodkind‘s books in general, and had just come off of a Battlestar Galactica high (followed by a low…). On the heels of disappointment I decided to try out Legend of the Seeker just […]
I missed the miniseries V in 1983, and its sequel in 1984, and the series in 1984-85. As I recall, I was between marriages #1 and #2 and couldn’t afford a TV, much less cable. Too bad, as I would have really gotten into it at the time. In fact, I enjoyed watching the marathon […]
