Before we crack the books on Season 13, we’d like to introduce ourselves (again) for this season. In case you didn’t tune in to Andrew’s Idol Series last season – here are his “qualifications” for reviewing Idol. First and foremost, he’s watched every single season. He’s been there through the highs and lows of this show, the […]

On December 5th, NBC aired the biggest television event of the holiday season – The Sound of Music Live!

Flight of the Pompadour: Celebrating 20 Years of Conan O’Brien!
“My favorite comedy is where nothing is achieved and there is no point.” – Conan O’Brien – Interesting words coming from late night talk show host, Conan O’Brien because there is a point—at least to the countless viewers around the world. Perhaps the gag is pointless, but the meaning behind it has never been.
The Simpsons Say Goodbye to Mrs. Krabappel with Chalkboard Gag
Sunday night’s episode of The Simpsons paid heartfelt tribute to actress, Marcia Wallace who passed away last weekend. Wallace, who is best known for playing Springfield Elementary teacher Edna Krabappel on the animated sitcom, may be the only teacher in television history to have the same student–Bart Simpson–for 24 years. While she gives the delinquent lines to […]
BOLO Issued for “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”
May sound odd to say, but I’m all about cops. I love them! I have since I was a wee one. I was the kid who grew up watching the funny side of cops through films like Police Academy, The Naked Gun, and—not proud to mention it (because I can quote certain scenes)–Kindergarten Cop. I was […]

In 1964, The Beatles‘ first live television performance in the US on The Ed Sullivan Show sparked the explosion of Beatlemania, which had a monumental influence on how we listen to and interact with music.

How Will ‘Breaking Bad’ End?
They are images that will be ingrained in modern television history: A Southwestern desert. RV. A frightened middle-aged man sporting glasses, a green collared shirt, no pants, and a gun pointing towards the camera. In the course of five years, the desert remained a prominent setting as the RV became obsolete. But most startling—yet thrilling—is […]
Switched at Birth: Redemption
As much constructive criticism as I may have given Switched at Birth in the episode before the finale, I must say that the finale made up for all that and more. This wrap-up of Season 2 was both dramatic, alluring, sentimental and still left you with cliff hangers for Season 3. It was remarkably beautiful.
SYTYCD10: Top 10 and 8 Performance Shows – The All-Stars Align
Well, I took a bit of a hiatus last week because I was moving from Montreal to Toronto and just didn’t have time to sit down and give you guys a thorough review of what I thought of the show, but let me tell you – I have a ton of thoughts about the last […]
Switched at Birth: Too Much Drama
There is only one word to describe this week’s episode of Switched at Birth: drama. While that is an obvious term to describe a drama television show, I use this term literally for this week’s episode. In fact, I believe that this episode had too much drama.
SYTYCD10: Top 12 Performances – Down to 10, All-stars Ahead…
The Top 12 results are simultaneously the most interesting and frightening of the season. With half the dancers in danger, we often get a bit of a shock, but it may also let us in the secret of who our front runners really are. That’s why it was interesting to see Malece and Amy in […]
