I (Still) Have A Dream
I’m hardly an expert on the current or even the historic state of equal rights, but I have been around enough to know how important and impactful an action that took place 60 years ago today was. As THE GUARDIAN’s David Smith recalled: The original March on Washington took place on 28 August 1963, a hundred years
Cue The Horns?
It’s not been the best of summers for a lot of us, but far worse if you were a nonagenarian legend. Tony Bennett last month, and, yesterday, Bob Barker passed away in what could only be described as amidst a most ironic set of circumstances. 100 days short of his 100th birthday. “as close as
It’s Not Me, It’s You
When FX was building its first batch of successful shows (and, in hindsight, the foundation of what eventually led to both the explosion of “peak TV” and the streaming business that has metaticized it), we were constantly looking for ways to articulate exactly how much of an impact they had made on viewers, who to

Most of the field that will show up to wage battle for the lion’s (well, relative
Here’s A Reality Check: Maybe There’s More Than Enough Fault To Go Around?
