Mad Men Has It Figured Out
Even Pete, whom I loathe, knows a good investment when he sees one. […]

Idiot of the Day
Don’t want to be insulted on live TV about your manhood? Try to avoid opening up the door for discussion. Though, to be fair, she’s still a heartless wench for going there for a cheap laugh. […]
Friday Funnies
I’d seen articles and previews on IFC for this new show Portlandia, but I’ll be honest in saying I’ve never been a huge Fred Armisen fan so I kinda dismissed it. But then the wife showed me a clip on YouTube and I was hooked. Then a day later I saw parts of an episode […]
Friday Funnies
I’ve spoken of the geeky genius of The IT Crowd before, but I have to bring it up again. You see, one of the best comedy series on television just released its fourth season on streaming Netflix, so you can watch all six episodes whenever you want. Why they only make six episodes confounds me, […]
Friday Funnies
The last year or so has all been about getting the wife hooked on TV shows that don’t have the name “Real” or “Jersey” or a Kardashian involved. Seriously, I used to like Bravo when the showed replays of Newsradio, but now they’re making me consider treehouse living with all the bullshit they show. After […]
Idiot of the Day
I love local news when it goes bad. This Chicago news station apparently watched this damn bridge for about 15 minutes waiting for it to implode but then cut away when it actually happened. Good times. Also I’m sure the advertisers loved one of the anchors joking that the situation was “a metaphor for this […]
Put on Notice: True Blood
The wife and I were True Blood fans from the start. We’ve always enjoyed the witty dialogue and the goofiness the show brought. Plus, as opposed to that teen abstinence/melodrama crap that Twilight and others peddle, True Blood is great because it gives you laughs, some “damn, where’d that come from” violence and then some […]
Shark Attack
For those outside DC, please know that Discovery Channel loves Shark Week as much as you do. They love it so much that about three weeks ago they hoisted up the head, fins and tail of a fake gigantic shark and hung them from the exterior of their headquarters in Silver Spring. I love it. […]
Idiot of the Day
First I’m gonna say that this was destined to be a disaster from the start. I think any normal-thinking person would realize that it’s hard to navigate 35 moving objects. Maybe sticking 35 kids on a skate ramp was a dump idea. And what’s up with Rip van Winkle running this joint? But the reporter […]
The Female Dickey
So on the tube the other night pops up this commercial that made me laugh and feel uncomfortable for the “actors” who have to star in this commercial. My joy in watching this TV spot was as boundless … First off, this is quickly entering the pantheon of hilarious infomercials. How many takes do you […]
