We watched two new cop shows this weekend, Robbery Homicide Division and Boomtown. First, Robbery Homicide Division was ok. It’s better than CSi, but far worse than any of the Law & Order series or NYPD Blue. The weird part is it’s hard to nail down what’s wrong with it. LA is ripe for a […]

More Love For HBO
There’s more to love about The Wire. Last night’s episode was TiVo’ed, and I got around to watching it tonight. The opening scene with McNulty sending his kids off to follow Stringer Bell around using the old “front and follow” method was incredible. It was really funny, and just perfect. It’s such a great show, […]
If you have DirecTV, definitely
If you have DirecTV, definitely check out Sessions at West 54th tonight (ch. 315 @ 5 and 8 EST)! It’s the one with Imani Coppola and John Hiatt. Imani does an amazing 30 minute set that will absolutely blow you away.
Jen and I watched Married
Jen and I watched Married in America on A&E yesterday. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s a documentary by Michael Apted of 9 couples about to get married. It followed them through the final days of preparation, up to the wedding, and in a couple cases, a few days after the wedding. Now, that […]
Someone at NBC loves Snatch.
Someone at NBC loves Snatch. Have you been watching the NBA playoffs on NBC? I have, and every time they cut to a stat graphic (Shaq has X free throw attempts per game per blah, blah, blah) they play a snippet of a different song off the Snatch soundtrack. It’s pretty funny. The first time […]
Tardy is Terrific Greg the
Tardy is Terrific Greg the Bunny was hilarious tonight. What a great show that’s getting no promotion at all. It was off for sweeps, and then tonight’s episode got nothing. I didn’t see an ad at all. Tardy had a bunch of lines, and yes, they were all great. The show is pretty much perfect, […]
Why Do I Love Thee, Tardy?
The hits just keep on coming for Tardy queries. So, I thought I’d share my favorite things about the dim little turtle from Greg the Bunny. Like Barney on The Simpsons, Tardy gets the throw-away one liners. They’re usually brilliant non-sequiters or add that perfect touch of lunacy to a scene. After four episodes I […]
They cancelled Ally McBeal
They cancelled Ally McBeal, which is just as well. I cancelled it at the beginning of the season. That new girl was kind of cute, but it turned into The Muppet Babies with Mini-Ally running around with Mini-Greg and Old Ally watching them all jealous. It was a good show in its prime, but it […]
Stupid
I was going to write about this last night, but it would have been overly profane and who needs that on their conscience when I know at least my mother-in-law reads this stuff? The last episode of Once and Again aired last night on ABC. It was depressing and it ended poorly. The last episode […]
Things that suck
I was sick all weekend. It started with a scratch in the throat and an early morning on Saturday taking my sister to take the ACT. Then, a headache and general unwellness later in the afternoon and a four hour nap. Then, Sunday was a blur of cough drops and tissues. No nap, but plenty […]
