In an apparent move to tighten the length of the ceremony, certain things were absent from this season’s Academy Award ceremony. The thing I noticed most was the absence of the clips shown periodically throughout the night showcasing the nominees for the big award: Best Picture. Also gone was the full performance of Best Original […]
Tonight at 12.35 eastern time will be Conan O’Brien’s final late show before he takes over the once coveted 11.35 slot from Jay Leno. I’m not sure how coveted the slot is but can well remember the battle between Leno and Letterman after the late great Johnny Carson retired. Fascinating that I do not see

The following post, while going beyond my normally tame fare, just could not be resisted. Besides, it reminded me of one of my favorite moments in the entire Brady Bunch mythos. You know the moment when Peter threw a football and it came flying into the daydreaming face of Marcia, Marcia, Marcia. Marcia screamed “OWW,

This morning, I caught the opening chat fest on Regis and Kelly. If I see nothing else on the show (when I am able) this is it; many times the guests do not interest me. However, I love the chemistry between the hosts. Bantering, poking fun, reporting on the headlines, etc. Also the trivia contest

Jack Black will be dropping by the Scranton branch of Dunder Mifflin and what the plot will concern is anyone’s guess. Will he be bringing

Ah… The Simpsons. Bart’s periodic calls to Moe’s Tavern never get old. In one of the episodes from this its 20th season, the never aging 10 year old finds Denis Leary‘s cell phone and hilarity insues. Today while at work, I received a telephone call that is very similar to the prankster’s antics. I answered

Most memorable television series have at least one key phrase that is associated with it. The following link not only provides the best of these catchphrases but also the story behind the phrase. For instance, Arthur Fonzarelli’s famous sound would not be heard nearly as much if the character had not caught on. The Fonz
Oh yes, I know I should be doing my civic duty and watching election coverage on one of 899 channels… I will wait until tomorrow to find out who the new owner of America country will be. Instead, I caught another film that I missed out on last summer. I believe that my introduction to
While searching imdb’s newest feature of viewing full episodes of tv shows past and present, I came across a show that I only very, VERY vaguely remember watching in the late 1970s (but do not search for it at imdb). I do remember other aspects of it; particularly, the series of books upon which the
