The recent death of Bob McGrath must be a sad one for many people who grew up watching him on Sesame Street. He was on the show from 1969 to 2016. The adults on the show often seemed to play second banana to Big Bird, Grover and Bert & Ernie. So, appearing on the showContinue reading “‘Muppet Family Christmas’ The Perfect Jim Henson Crossover”

We Need To Talk About ‘Andor’
There are two types of Star Wars fans – those that like just about everything and those that detest everything except the original trilogy, The Mandalorian and Rogue One. I’ll admit I was excited to see Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, until I saw it. I sat through an hour not caring what wasContinue reading “We Need To Talk About ‘Andor’”
Casey Anthony Documentary Hard To Tell ‘Truth’ From ‘Lies’
There’s a lot of things to unpack from the three-part Peacock docuseries Casey Anthony: Where the Truth Lies. But the biggest one might be – why the hell she hated 14 years to finally say all this? Casey has lied so much over the years, it’s hard to tell when, if at all, she isContinue reading “Casey Anthony Documentary Hard To Tell ‘Truth’ From ‘Lies’”
Jenna Ortega Shines In Dark Comedy Series ‘Wednesday’
When I first heard of Netflix doing a series focusing on Wednesday Addams and Tim Burton was involved, I was skeptical. Or more or less biased, you could say. Christina Ricci had done such a great job as the character in the 1991 movie The Addams Family at only 11 and then she did aContinue reading “Jenna Ortega Shines In Dark Comedy Series ‘Wednesday’”
‘Welcome To Chippendales’ Is Too Revealing Too Fast
The history behind Chippendales is one that is ripe to be made into a movie or limited series. To quote Eddie Valiant in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, “It’s a story of greed, sex and murder.” And it all started during the Me Generation, the era of the Sexual Revolution as it was common to seeContinue reading “‘Welcome To Chippendales’ Is Too Revealing Too Fast”
‘Tulsa King’ In Search Of Its Crown
When I first heard that Taylor Sheridan, who had created Yellowstone and written scripts for Hell or High Water and Sicaro, was making a TV series about a Italian mobster relocating to Tulsa and starring Sylvester Stallone, I was very intriqued. Tulsa, despite being the second largest city in Oklahoma is no fairy tale ofContinue reading “‘Tulsa King’ In Search Of Its Crown”
‘Guardians’ Bring Holiday Cheer To Galaxy In TV Special
There’s something about the Star Wars Holiday Special that appeals to nerds and a certain section of Star Wars fans. It’s so bad it’s so bad but it’s like an ugly puppy dog. You got to admit it is kinda cute at times. After the success of the 1977 original, the pop culture exploded withContinue reading “‘Guardians’ Bring Holiday Cheer To Galaxy In TV Special”
No One Needs This ‘Friend Of The Family’
A Friend of the Family is another prime example of how limited series are getting out of control. The run time for this series combined is just under eight hours. And half of that would be considered too much of a story to tell, mainly because there’s not much of a story here. The castContinue reading “No One Needs This ‘Friend Of The Family’”
Thanksgiving On The Telly
Thanksgiving is often used in many TV shows and sitcoms but seems to always be the lesser holiday behind Christmas and Halloween that gets the most exposure. However, there have been some memorable shows to watch on Thanksgiving. Cheers – The famous sitcom about a bar in Boston where everyone knows your name ran forContinue reading “Thanksgiving On The Telly”
Marketing Fiasco Fails Short Of Real Thing In ‘Pepsi, Where’s My Jet?’
I remember the commercial and the controversy. PepsiCo was running a promotion to get people to buy more products, they could collect points to send in for merchandise with Pepsi logos. The idea that people would want to wear a Pepsi jacket or sunglasses didn’t appeal to me but maybe it would to some otherContinue reading “Marketing Fiasco Fails Short Of Real Thing In ‘Pepsi, Where’s My Jet?’”
