Lowering the bar a bit, are we?
Here’s part of the AOL welcome screen that greeted me this morning: Eight is Enough. “Classic” episode. Sometimes the world scares me. Eight is Enough? Classic episode?! Are we now defining “classic” teevee as “that which was originally televised more … Continue reading

No, I don’t kill my pets.
For no real reason, here’s one of my favorite scenes ever from The West Wing. This is when President Bartlet decided to hire the whip-smart Republican woman who came out of nowhere to make Sam look like an idiot on … Continue reading
