“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 [...]
“Off the Map”: Television Review
As with most of the TV shows I end up being an ardent fan of, I was lukewarm about ABC’s midseason, jungle medical drama, “Off the Map,” when I saw it advertised. The show boasts plenty of eye candy with Martin Henderson as Dr. Benjamin “Ben” Keeton, giving McDreamy a run [...]
“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 [...]
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, [...]
The 2011 Oscars have come and gone. Awards were given out, speeches were had and deserving films were seemingly snubbed while others surprised us with the awards that they were given.

First and foremost (and not to knock or belittle the fantasy-reading community), I am not an avid reader of the fantasy genre. There’s a commonality among the folks who tirelessly attend conventions and renaissance festivals, an energy and enthusiasm that I simply do not possess – not just with regard to costumes and role play, [...]
Twenty years ago, a show on ABC called “Twin Peaks” redefined the possibilities of serial drama with its aching, painstaking and, unfortunately, prematurely answered question, “Who killed Laura Palmer?” It also helped launch the careers of several young actors, including Lara Flynn Boyle, David Duchovny, Billy Zane, and Heather Graham.

Fox’s hit musical dramedy “Glee” came back for its season two premiere on September 21st after a three month hiatus. Since its pilot episode in May 2009, “Glee” has been giving TV audiences an experience like no other. Last season, the show brought the world of musical theatre to a mass audience with the help [...]
“Today is spring cleaning day here at Dunder Mifflin, and yes I know it’s January, I’m not an idiot, but if you do your spring cleaning in January, guess what you don’t have to do in the spring… anything.” This is a typical statement from Michael Scott, the often offensive and always oblivious boss of [...]
There have been far too many TV dads to choose from over the decades, from Jackie Gleason in “The Life of Riley” all the way up to Homer Simpson. Some of them have been wholesome and loving, some are extremely cantankerous and abrasive, and some are just bizarre …yet we love them all just the [...]
