This Hand Touched Stephen’s Hand

Friday, April 18th, 2008

It’s the morning after, and the show has now aired, but still, I think a reckoning is warranted.
Yesterday afternoon a friend offered me a ticket to the final taping of The Colbert Report in Philadelphia. It was the stunning conclusion of their “Dorito’s Spicy Sweet Pennsylvania Primary Coverage From Chili-Delphia – The City of [...]

More Awesomeness

Friday, July 14th, 2006

When I was a kid there wasn’t a single show that I enjoyed more than Knight Rider. Perhaps a bit later I became more obsessed with ST: TNG (and if you need to follow the link to know when I’m talking about then you’re really not a nerd) but Michael Knight, Kitt, and the [...]

I [heart] Apple

Thursday, October 20th, 2005

Kurt Vonnegut knows

Wednesday, September 14th, 2005

From last night’s Daily Show, guest Kurt Vonnegut’s list of LIBERAL CRAP I NEVER WANT TO HEAR AGAIN:

Scott reminded me that tonight is the season premiere of the final season of HBO’s Six Feet Under. As much of my demographic has done over the past few years, I get most of my original drama and comedy fare from HBO and other cable outlets these days. While I’m sure I’ve missed [...]

Unsafe on any Channel
