Everything That’s New Is Old Again
I’ve never quite understood exactly why SCRUBS broke through at all. When it debuted a quarter-century ago it seemed to borrow elements from just about everything and everyone associated with it. It was adjacent to ER, so the hospital setting was a natural, and it often attempted to draw from that show’s walk-and-talk shooting style.
Two Wrongs Don’t Make A Right. Or A Left.
At the risk of alienating even more people who apparently were only my friends if I shared the same level of unbridled anger at the current adminstration, I’ll confess I at least attempted to watch the spectacle that unfolded last night in the House chamber of the U.S. Capitol. You know, that tourist attraction that
American Dud
The downside of a rare night out for me is that the following day leaves me even more sleep-deprived than usual. Sunday was one of those rare occasions, so yesterday was one of those days where I needed several naps to try and catch up to the energy level I normally aspire to. None of
Finally, An NBC Comedy Even I Like
I haven’t been all that kind to NBC comedies in this decade. Maybe it’s because I hold them to the high standard that the must-see TV components of the 80s and 90s set as a bar. And no, I’m not being so unrealistic that I’m insisting everything be as massive and broad-appeal as the more
Oh, So NOW He’s Interesting?
Throughout my career I’ve been blessed with top-down support from the various chairpersons and CEOs I’ve had the opportunity to work with. Sometimes that didn’t sit all that well with the more thin-skinned folks that I actually reported into, but the nature of my responsibilities often put me into direct contact with their superiors and
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
Have A Great Weekend. Unless, Of Course, You Work For Yosemite Zas
For the most part, I truly do envy those that are fortunate enough to still be working in positions of importance in media. Considering where I am at this particular moment, that envy escalates greatly. There’s only so much impact and pleasure one can get from what I do, and lately even those sporadic moments
G, Here’s A Pitch You May Have Not Considered To Deal With Tanking
The NBA season resumes tonight after a six-day sabbatical with a robust slate of ten games, including a highly anticipated litmus test for the league’s surprisingly front-running Detroit Pistons in both the spotlight and crosshairs of Madison Square Garden for a globally streamed showdown with league management and domestic media rights owners’ pre-season favorite for
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
