World Cup, anyone?

I got so caught up in the Stanley Cup playoffs last week (HAWKS WIN, YES!!!) that I didn’t even know that the World Cup had started. I love sporting events, and I played soccer when I was younger, but I wonder how popular the World Cup really is within the U.S. I know the rest of [...]

Greatest TV character?

According to the experts at Entertainment Weekly, Homer Simpson is the greatest TV character of all time. Homer managed to top a list that included Harry Potter and Sarah Michelle Gellar’s Buffy the vampire slayer. OK, there are a number of issues with this, and it’s not because I dislike Homer Simpson. I was just [...]

TV finales

I think you’ll have to count me in the minority when it comes to the television show Lost. I didn’t have access to TV when it debuted, I was a struggling fresh out of college student trying to survive on only the things I needed. And since I didn’t start, I decided not to finish. [...]

Macgruber – SNL style action

I’m not a fan of the current Saturday Night Live, and I haven’t been a fan for a while. The last time I watched an original airing of SNL was when Dana Carvey and Mike Myers were still doing the Wayne’s World sketch. Since then, I have had to wait for something that would require [...]

The hottest doctor on Grey’s Anatomy

Well, this season of Grey’s Anatomy may be over, but let’s take a second to ponder a slightly philosophical question. Which female doctor is the hottest? My vote goes to Ellen Pompeo. With those soft, green eyes and flowing hair, I look at her wearing one of those lab coats and wonder if there are real [...]

Don’t tase me, Bud!

I just watched the video of that 17 year old who ran out onto the field during the Phillies-Cards game. If you’re not familiar with the story, security used a taser gun to subdue this kid since running onto the field is a misdemeanor and cops have authority to tase someone who is fleeing. The [...]

What the funniest TV show of all time?

This one could start some trouble, I think but I find it fun to stir these kinds of pots from time to time. What is the all-time funniest TV show? You could go by decade and it would probably be easier and fairer, because the standards for acceptable comedy and funny comedy have changed in [...]

Shows for Guys who Like Shows

If you’re looking for a sporting event that makes you feel proud to be a guy, then you have to check out a show called Ninja Warrior on G4.  I don’t know how long this show has been on, but this show covers an American Gladiators style obstacle course competition from Japan. Unlike the Strongest [...]

R.I.P. Peter Graves

Peter Graves, star of Mission Impossible, voiceover artist for television, died of a heart attack at age 83. While I didn’t see his turn on Mission Impossible, he will always be one of the highlights of the movie Airplane as the pilot Captain Oveur.  I watch him in that movie and laugh to the point [...]

Let the Madness begin

With Selection Sunday now past us, we can now prepare for the first games starting tomorrow. The one thing I miss from working in an office is the office pool concerning the brackets.  We always had friendly contests to see who could get their brackets closest.  Never was anything too serious.  But, now working with [...]
