Sandra Oh has been acting for decades and she’s mostly been considered a drama actress. This is thanks to roles on Grey’s Anatomy and Killing Eve where she was nominated for Primetime Emmys numerous times.

The Unspoken Brilliance Of The Turkey Drop Episode Of ‘WKRP In Cincinnati’
Back around 2011 or 2012 when I was working as a news editor of the Wagoner Tribune, the advertising people got a bright idea for a promotion. It breaks down like this, each paper’s advertising rep must seek out a non-franchise mom-and-pop independent pizza restaurant owner in their coverage area. Said owner/proprietor will turn overContinue reading “The Unspoken Brilliance Of The Turkey Drop Episode Of ‘WKRP In Cincinnati’”
How ‘IT’ Scared The Bejesus Out Of An Entire Generation And Became Iconic
In 1986, Stephen King published IT, a massive novel that was over 1,100 pages. Most writers spent years working on novels that long and nothing else. James Clavell, for instance, churned out massive epic novels like Shogun and Noble House over many, many years. Then, you had David Foster’s Wallace Infinite Jest, which could alsoContinue reading “How ‘IT’ Scared The Bejesus Out Of An Entire Generation And Became Iconic”
‘Milli Vanilli’ Finds The Right Tune
The controversy over Milli Vanilli still lingers like a stain over the entertainment industry that just won’t go away.

South Park Creators Yell At Clouds In ‘Joining The Panderverse’
For the longest time, South Park co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone were hesitant to keep their conservative Libertarian views to a minimum on the show.

The Bromance Of Joey And Chandler
I never did watch The Odd Couple 2010s series that Matthew Perry, who recently passed away, starred in with Thomas Lennon. Perry had pretty much did this concept earlier with Friends, but he played the Felix Unger role in that NBC sitcom. In Couple, he played Oscar Madison. Friends ran from 1994 to 2004. WhileContinue reading “The Bromance Of Joey And Chandler”
‘Garfield’s Halloween Adventure’ Has Charm, Chills And Cutesy Feels
In the 1980s, Garfield was everywhere. It’s been widely rumored that Jim Davis, the creator, did so in an attempt to make as much money as it could. Garfield is everything that Bill Waterston didn’t want Calvin & Hobbes becoming which is why he refused to merchandise anything and ended the comic 10 years afterContinue reading “‘Garfield’s Halloween Adventure’ Has Charm, Chills And Cutesy Feels”
