Canadian Legislature Uses ‘Arrested Development’ Reference
One of my favorite things is when people use pop culture in places little conducive to such a thing. For instance, Ohio State University president Gordon Gee, a pop culture geek, referenced a Tosh.0 redemption for President Obama as he was introducing him prior to the commencement address. In this case, it's a Canadian lawmaker [...]

The Case For Costas.
I'm no fan of Bob Costas. He is wildly overpraised as a beacon of sports journalistic integrity, but I think he's a consescending little prick. He works for a network that doesn't even broadcast any real non-NHL sports. But to some people he's the grandmaster of sports TV. Check out this piece of drivel, which [...]

It’s Easy To Snipe From Bob Costas’ Position.
Bob Costas appeared on the Dan Patrick Show this past week and blasted CBS for the years of tolerance it showed with regard to Augusta National and its racist and sexist policies. It is well-known that Augusta keeps a very tight reign on the TV coverage of The Masters golf tournament, and it is equally [...]

The Walking Dead: Home
We were all thinking it. The first 30 minutes was more of the same. We like the show, but I think we like the action, the zombies and the adrenaline far more than we like these characters. For that reason, halfway through last night’s episode, we were all ready to throw in the towel. Then [...]
The Walking Dead: The Suicide King Recap
If one considers the episode as a whole, one would draw the conclusion that the episode itself was a zombie, wandering slowly and aimlessly, looking for bits of story to munch on and then slowly ambling onward. One group wants in, while another wants out. Then later one group is violently forced to stay while [...]
It Worked.
I gathered up the materials yesterday morning, headed to Kroger to buy an aluminum pie pan, assembled them per instructions and attached the device to my television. I then sent my television looking for signals. It found a few, one of which was channel 36.1, also known as my local Fox affiliate. I was very [...]
The Price Of Television.
We live in interesting times. Our technologically supplied entertainment options are at an all-time high, and our freedom to be entertained from various sources has dramatically increased. There is an exception, however. Live broadcast television. I am a dissatisfied cable customer, and so I've been looking at my options. My biggest issue is that I [...]
