It’s taken a lot of willpower to wait before writing this post, but just in case somebody is running behind on watching the Tivo, I didn’t want to ruin it for you.
I’ve been a big fan of CSI: since the very beginning. The original one set in Las Vegas, I mean. It gets […]

Hi. My name is Tammie, and I’m an addict.
I’m not talking about caffeine or nicotine, the two chemical dependencies I hold onto tightly with both hands. No, this is a different type of addiction. I’m hooked on “America’s Next Top Model.”
Have you seen it? “ANTM” is the CW’s top-rated show, so […]

I’m pleased to see that Paige Davis is back on “Trading Spaces” on TLC.
She left the show three years ago, and it just wasn’t the same without her.  They tried all sorts of gimmicks like extra money bonus rooms, but nothing really worked for me.  Paige was there to both stir the pot and reign […]

Did you see the Tournament of Roses Parade this morning?
There are just some traditions I can’t do without, and watching that parade every New Year’s Day is one of them.  Those floats are amazing, and I still have a real soft spot in my heart for the marching bands.
One float in particular really struck my […]

I, for one, am eagerly awaiting the end of the writers’ strike.
When did they start calling reruns “encore performances”?  I hate it!!  Oh, sure, I understand how and why bean counters and paper pushers can and do spin everything under the sun, but c’mon!  I’ve already seen this episode seven times.  It’s a rerun.
A&E is […]

I think I might just have to gag.
There are certain holiday classic movies — Capra’s “It’s A Wonderful Life” and the version of “A Christmas Carol” with George C. Scott as Ebenezer Scrooge, for example — and I even like Bill Murray’s “Scrooged” at this time of the year.  But I gotta tell ya, between […]

All things considered, it’s been a rough year for sports fans.
Everyone knows certain baseball players were juicing themselves with anabolic steroids while MLB and the Players’ Association turned a blind eye, but until the Mitchell Report came out this past week, I don’t think anyone realized the scope of the cheating.
Bill Belichick and the New […]

Do you watch “Criminal Minds” on CBS Wednesday nights?
It’s a great show about FBI profilers and the horrifying things they go through to catch serial killers. It’s gritty, graphic, scary, and all too real. But they went too far this week.
If you’ve TiVoed the show and haven’t had a chance to watch it […]

Late night TV leaves an AWFUL lot to be desired.
There was an infomercial on last night that really takes the cake.  I don’t know the guy’s name, but he’s a fixture, always selling all sorts of things.  Now he’s pushing colon cleaners.
I’m sure there’s a legitimate market for this product, but I can’t imagine that […]

I know it’s the whole “Circle of Life” thing, but I’m still upset.
Do you watch “Meerkat Manor” on Animal Planet? If so, you already know this; if not, you probably won’t care, but until I get this out of my system, I won’t be able to shake it.
Flower died. She was the alpha […]
