Being a parent means a lot of things, but one of the big ones is finding yourself watching episode after episode of annoying cartoons. It. Is. Tedious. And for many of us completely unavoidable. Kids like what they like and as a parent it might seem like you’re just along for the ride. The very …
Anyone who has ever peeped a single episode of Supernatural likely remembers it. It’s one of those shows you either love or hate, and man have I had an up and down road with it. But I’m not ready to say goodbye to the show, which makes the rumors that have been around since September …

Something I think a lot of people have in common is that we weren’t all that into zombies, er, walkers before The Walking Dead. Or maybe it’s just me. I just wasn’t ‘that’ into zombie lore or bloody viscera or the whole idea of a zombie apocalypse. Now? I’m a full fledged zombophile. Between Shaun …

But they are also your rival fantasy football team owners. Forget book club, bunco night or supper club, fantasy football leagues are what …
It’s October (FINALLY), which means two things: Halloween, and the return of The Walking Dead. I wish I could say I was more excited about Halloween, but I’d be lying to everyone. I’m All About TWD. But I’m also slightly twisted, and just a little bit off, so the other day (okay, probably more like …
If you were alive in the late 80’s, early 90’s, there is no WAY you missed Full House. Okay, so you might have pretended to be too cool for it, but anyone who was anyone either had a crush on Uncle Jesse, or thought Joey was the funniest person they’d ever heard of, or thought …
I wasn’t going to watch Stranger Things. I thought it was going to be dumb, thought it was trending for no reason, thought it was just another repeat of a repeat and I Wan’t Buying In. A cross between ET and Firestarter? Um, nothanks. One ENORMOUS binge later, I finished the entire first season. Trust …

For those of you not in the know, Fuller House is out today, and I have been waiting on it for– well, pretty much what I feel like is one million days. So, this afternoon, I did what all good people who write about life and culture full time, I spent the entire time on the …
The FULL HOUSE reunion show FULLER HOUSE starts today, and while this is the reboot I’ve been waiting my entire adult life for, I’m actually a bit nervous. I mean, this show was great in part because we lived in a more innocent time. TV is different now. Full House came to us before the …
So the biggest news today wasn’t a celebrity death (thank goodness) or some standoff somewhere (again, thank goodness)…no. It was the fact that Kylie Jenner has a bracelet stuck on her wrist.

Just in case you’ve been under a rock, I’m going to go ahead and call this one as NSFW. There is no cursing or anything more than innuendo, but c’mon, it’s Ricky Gervais. If you’ve got kids in the room, or kids in general, maybe don’t watch this. No, you should still watch it, it’s …

Ed Sheeran is one of my favorite singers out there. But it isn’t just his songs that are so amazing, it’s him. He’s probably my favorite ginger on the planet. Favorite. And that’s saying a lot, ’cause I know a lot of red-heads. But, I digress. So recently Eddie (as I like to call him) …

The other day I air-popped some popcorn and sat down on my couch to watch a movie on my big ‘ol television, and I started to wonder… are people still going to movie theaters? Is that still something people do, or do we instead sit at home with our surround sound, hd television, fancy tv …

If the healthcare debate’s a little dry for your tastes… you just haven’t seen it auto-tuned. (It gets good about a minute in.)
I’ve been getting really into facebook lately, and I recently friended someone from high school that was on the drumline with me. That’s right, I was a bona-fide band geek. I lived for marching season, and it was straight up the most fun ever. I lived for marching season, and honestly… I was pretty cute …
So, I have decided recently that TV isn’t worth watching in real time. And when I say real time, I don’t mean like right when the show is going on… but like some time that week on DVR. I mean, sure… you get to skip the commercials… but that isn’t even enough for me anymore. …
