March 7, 2013 First of all, I'm a huge fan of AMC's The Walking Dead, as you may know. Second, last Sunday's episode--entitled "Clear"--was the best episode, so far, since the series began. Great writing!
March 6, 2013 It is with sadness we report that Valerie Harper, best known for her role as Rhoda Morgenstern on ‘The Mary Tyler Moore Show’ and its spin-off ‘Rhoda,’ has been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer
March 5, 2013 Thirteen days and counting until the premiere of a new TV series I've been looking forward to for about a year. I first heard about Bates Motel last spring and I've been jazzed about it ever since.
March 5, 2013 Finally! If you have been watching American Idol this season, you have probably spent a lot of time scratching your head like I have. Some folks that I have been rooting for have been cast aside. Others, who I don't get at all, have been passed through to the live shows. But tonight and Wednesday, America, our voices get to be heard. Twenty contestants remain and our votes will determine who makes it into the Top 10. Among the folks in the running, former WBKR Battle for the Big O finalist, Paul Jolley!
I think we can all agree American Idol is a whole new ball game this year. Forget the judges' drama and the contestants you thought might make it through to the Top 20, the voting process is getting a very big upgrade.
March 3, 2013 Back in the day, Kelly G used to harp on me to try and get me to watch Celebrity Apprentice. I finally gave in and quickly learned what she already knew. It's one of the BEST reality shows on television. Throw in B, C or D-List celebrities, their huge egos, incredibly difficult fundraising tasks, and Donald Trump's hair flapping in the boardroom, and you have what NBC used to call "Must see TV!" Tonight, the new season, the All-Star season, debuts. Take a look at the special sneak peak . . . and keep an eye out for Trace Adkins!
