To Me, She’s The Katz’ Meow

To Me, She’s The Katz’ Meow

A few of you more ardent followers and readers have observed that I do tend to lean more than a tad negative of late.  And after a day where the leader of the free world literally stunk up the internet and airwaves with perhaps one of the most nauseating combinations of press conferences and releases … Read more

Even A Lame Duck Can Put Up A Fight

Even A Lame Duck Can Put Up A Fight

Stephen Colbert returned to original episodes Monday night, which to my DVR was particularly good news.  One of the biggest reasons I maintain a subscription to a traditional MVPD, aside from the increasingly pious hope that I might yet again be hired to consult for them, is to record and play back late night talk … Read more

A Bridgerton Too Far?

A Bridgerton Too Far?

I sure hope your Valentine’s Day was a lot more satisfying than mine. Once again, it was reduced to a virtual experience for me, long after both COVID and my alibi for a marriage had their expiration dates.  At least there’s someone in my life who actually wished that to me and meant it, which … Read more

They’re Still Raking In Tons Of D-Oh!

They’re Still Raking In Tons Of D-Oh!

There’s honestly not a lot that’s the same about the world as it was in the winter of 1989.  Per MACROTRENDS,  gas was $1.o3 a gallon.  Today–if you’re lucky and obviously not in California–it’s $3.20.  A dozen eggs, even with all of the “winning” we’ve experienced in the last 13 months, are still $2.86–and yes, … Read more

For as much as the people I admire so much on the creative side of the entertainment industry may try to contend that they deal with more rejection than anyone else I would merely ask them to visualize themselves in my role, since the ones skilled in the Strasberg method tend to be able to … Read more

What A Dummy?  You Bet.  And Not Just Him.

What A Dummy? You Bet. And Not Just Him.

Let me be crystal clear; I don’t travel in the same circles as Casey Wasserman does.  For one, my pop-pop ran a neighborhood pharmacy, not a legendary talent agency that eventually wound up controlling Universal Studios.  For another, my skill sets are anything but in demand in the sector of the inustry where his own … Read more

Sure, NOW You’re Checking On Me.

Sure, NOW You’re Checking On Me.

Yes, I read the NEW YORK/CALIFORNIA POST, and I’m not ashamed to admit it.  Have been doing so since practically the moment I could read on my own, even long before Rupert Murdoch and family got their grubby little claws on it.  I love their sports coverage and I’m fascinated by how they use screaming … Read more

Can YOU Handle Temu TV?

Can YOU Handle Temu TV?

I’m kicking myself once again for falling prey to the temptation of a cheap quick fix via social media courtesy of Temu, the Chinese answer to Amazon that I made the mistake of downloading a while ago and somehow continue to forget to delete.   For those of you who have it, you’ve probably noted that … Read more
