Survival Of The Fittest?
My best friend’s grandmother is celebrating a milestone birthday today. OK, I don’t think she’d mind if I share with you that today she’s turning 90 —though I defy you to demonstrate how exactly she looks it. From what I know, she owes her good fortune to pretty good genes, the support of family and
The Sun Still Rises Over Stage 18. And, Perhaps, Over Me.
BIG BROTHER’s silver anniversary season kicks off tonight, which I suppose I should be at least a little excited about. Not a lot of anything is premiering these days on broadcast television, or anytime soon, for that matter, that will be immediately capable of getting somewhere close to one percent of adults 18-49 with a
Asleep At The Wheel Again?
Yep. My Great White Whale is at it again, and the fact that a headline in yesterday’s THE WRAP was devoted to it in a manner that gave it any air whatsoever ticks me off bigly. Regular readers know I’m relentless against Parrot Analytics, and I won’t burden you with any regurgitating as to why.
Like Sands Through The Hourglass?
I’m not the biggest soap opera buff, but I do have a special place in my heart for DAYS OF OUR LIVES. Airing adjacent to many of my favorite NBC game shows growing up, I’d often watch at least a few scenes. Years later, when a friend shared an apartment with an uber fan who

What Suits Netflix’s Viewers Should Suit Other Streamers’, No?
My roommate does spend a fair amount of time with his TV, though his choices, especially in entertainment, are typically not those of the masses. He is at best a moderate sports fan, so, unlike me, he doesn’t contribute to the records that the NFL and even women’s soccer set on a regular basis. Often,
Maybe Nathan R. Jessep Was Right
My absolute favorite podcast, THE REWATCHABLES, is doing a live staging tonight in Los Angeles. If you’re not familiar with it, it combines the two passions of its creator and founder Bill Simmons and his minions–sports and movies–and revisits classic movies through the lens of a fresh look and a series of category ratings much
