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 […]

One thing about being laid up is the chance to catch up on TV shows you might not necessarily have been watching.
Such is the case with HGTV’s “Design Star.”  There was a marathon while I was in the hospital, and I had a chance to follow along from the beginning.  One episode involved a traditional-meets-Rockabilly […]

I just can’t stand it any longer.
For 20 years now, the Discovery Channel has put on “Shark Week” each August, with all sharks, all the time.  24-7.  For an entire week.
I don’t know about you, but I can only take so much of a guy swimming around a shipwreck with a plasma cutter waiting for […]

This is one of my least favorite weekends of the year.
Here’s why.
Jamboree in the Hills is in full swing across the river in  St. Clairsville, Ohio.  Billed as “The Super Bowl of Country Music,” it’s actually a collection of nearly a hundred thousand screaming fans who show up for a week-long party in the mud, […]

Have you been watching “Ice Road Truckers” on the History Channel?
These guys are hauling equipment over frozen lakes in northern Canada to some diamond mines near the Arctic Circle, and they have to do it before the road thaws.   I think they’re nuts.
They have to drive slowly in 40-below-zero weather, all the while worrying […]

It’s like watching one of those stupid old “Godzilla” movies.
BJ and I have spent the last several days laughing at Court TV, one of our favorite channels under normal circumstances, but right now, we can only take it for so long.
I’m not sure if it’s the network itself or just another one of those little […]

Imagine being fired from a job that you can’t even tell those closest to you that you had in the first place. That’s what happens to CIA Operative Michael Weston in a new series starting June 28th on USA Network.
It’s a neat premise: Weston has to figure out who betrayed him, all the […]

I’m old enough to remember when watching TV meant standing on one foot while positioning the tin foil on the rabbit ears or turning the antenna rotor every time we got up, walked across the room, and turned the little knob to switch the channel.
What I don’t remember is routinely feeling like there was nothing […]

When last I saw “The Sopranos,” Pauly and Christopher were chasing a Russian through the snow somewhere in the South Jersey woods. You see, I don’t get HBO (never did!). but since A&E has been running the show beginning with Episode 1, I’ve been hooked.
Now, fans who DO watch on HBO are having fits […]
