A Preview of More Than a Month on PBS
A New Documentary Explores the Impact of Black History Month
With its origins dating back to 1926, Black History Month has served as a national observance of the history of African American culture. Originally referred to as “Negro History Week” by historian Carter G. Woodson, there has been [...]
“American Horror Story” vs. “Supernatural”: Who’s Scarier?
Best Scary TV Shows: “American Horror Story” vs. “Supernatural”
I’ve never been a huge fan of horror movies. I was one of those kids who was scared by the “Thriller” music video instead of amused by its campiness, and while other kids in middle school were excitedly talking about their [...]
An Interview with Mike D, Host of Lunkerville
Mike D on Bass Fishing and Lunkerville
For bass fishing enthusiasts, it doesn’t get any better than “Lunkerville.” Created in 2004 by independent filmmaker Mike de Avila, the program has allowed Mike to fuse his love for story telling and bass fishing into an extremely popular program. Comparatively different [...]
A Review of FX’s “The League”
“The League”:
The crudest show you never thought you’d want to watch? FX’s “The League”.

“Jersey Shore” Cast’s Literary Aspirations: A Shore Thing, Rules According to JWOWW, Here’s the Situation
MTV’s now infamous “Jersey Shore” franchise gets something of a bad rap. I have never been its biggest fan, as all it has done in my life is to give the world at large a new set of jokes and stereotypes to [...]
“Bob’s Burger’s”: Fox’s Newest Animated Series
Like Fox’s other cartoons, “Bob’s Burgers” likely won’t delight everyone’s fancy; it takes a certain palate to appreciate what Fox serves in its Sunday night Animation Domination lineup. However, “Bob’s Burgers” appears to be a worthy mid-season contender.
Unlike the more outlandish antics and characters of the other long-running hits (“The [...]
The future of television’s current number one hit show right now, “Two and a Half Men,” is in limbo.
The show, for those readers who haven’t caught a glimpse, is based, not so loosely, around the life of the show’s star, Charlie Sheen. Sheen plays Charlie Harper, a wealthy jingle writer who lives in his Malibu, [...]
