Television

When we decide what movie or television show to watch next, who’s starring in it will often sway us one way or another. We’re looking for the big names, the faces we recognize, and the talent we depend on to keep us entertained. That said, it’s often the smaller characters who bring those shows or...

I used to work on movies and TV shows when I was younger, so I’ve had a couple of brief conversations with some famous folks. Nothing of any great consequence, mind you, just small talk to waste of little bit of downtime. I think I’d say the most famous one was comedian and actor David...

There’s a recent commercial I’ve had the misfortune to see several times lately that I really, REALLY don’t like.

Whenever this topic comes up, I feel like a lot of older folks always point to MASH as having the best ending of all time. I wouldn’t know because I never watched it, but I guess it must’ve been pretty good if that many people refer to it during this kind of conversation. But now I...
