Markie Post Was The Glue That Held ‘Night Court’ Together

Night Court is one of my favorite TV sitcoms. I think next to The Golden Girls and Seinfeld, I’ve seen each episode repeatedly over the years and never grow tired. I think the show helped frame my sense of humor when I was younger. The show focused on the strange characters and stranger cases thatContinue reading “Markie Post Was The Glue That Held ‘Night Court’ Together”

‘Reservation Dogs’ Has Some Bite

I’ve lived in Oklahoma since 2002. I didn’t grow up here but I grew up in northwest Georgia, which used to be the Cherokee Nation capital before the Trail of Tears forced many indigenous Native Americans to Oklahoma. I do have Cherokee ancestry, though. You don’t have to be an indigenous person or live inContinue reading “‘Reservation Dogs’ Has Some Bite”

John DeLorean Documentary Stalls But Still Reaches Its Finish Line

I’m only giving the TV docuseries Myth & Mogul: John DeLorean a favorable review only because it goes into such detail to tell us the man was such a crook and bad person. Like the docuseries on the Frye Festival, there’s so much you can listen to before you get the idea, but DeLorean wasContinue reading “John DeLorean Documentary Stalls But Still Reaches Its Finish Line”

‘Cocaine Cowboys’ Rides High In The Miami Sunset

Cocaine is still a serious drug problem in America, but it seems that crystal meth has taken over in the 21st Century along with the opioid overdoses as well as use of ecstasy or molly. Cocaine and crack cocaine seems to be a 20th Century remnants of the failed War on Drugs. In the lastContinue reading “‘Cocaine Cowboys’ Rides High In The Miami Sunset”

‘Revelation’ Doesn’t Have The Power To Bring ‘Masters Of The Universe’ To A New Generation Just Yet

Let me address this first. I am in no way upset over the fact that He-Man/Prince Adam dosen’t appear as the main character in the lastest Netflix series Masters of the Universe: Revelation. I’m not like many of the other dudebros in their 30s-40s upset that a TV cartoon based on a toy chain exploresContinue reading “‘Revelation’ Doesn’t Have The Power To Bring ‘Masters Of The Universe’ To A New Generation Just Yet”

‘Animalympics’ Gets The Gold For Nostalgia

With the Tokyo Summer Olympics finally happening with tonight’s ceremony, after being postponed a year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it’s time to reflect on a special that was made at another time when things didn’t go right for the Olympics. NBC had commissioned two hour-long animated specials to be shown during 1980 back whenContinue reading “‘Animalympics’ Gets The Gold For Nostalgia”

‘Uncle Frank’ A Painful Trip Down Memory Lane

A movie like Uncle Frank will one day hopefully seem like a look at America that is no more. Even though it’s set in 1973, the movie still seems to touch on some harsh issues that haven’t changed over 50 years. A TV movie for Amazon Prime, it’s recently been nominated for an Emmy forContinue reading “‘Uncle Frank’ A Painful Trip Down Memory Lane”

‘Heist’ True-Crime Docuseries Anthology Has Bangs For Its Bucks

As I’ve committed in other posts, Netflix seemed to be in a funk with the true-crime docuseries before Sophie A Murder in West Cork helped breathe new life to the shows. The latest offering is Heist focusing on three high-profile robberies that you may not have heard of. The six-part series surprisingly has first-person commentaryContinue reading “‘Heist’ True-Crime Docuseries Anthology Has Bangs For Its Bucks”
