The Writing Biz Meets Pop Culture
My entire family was dismayed that CBS canceled The Unit, one of the best shows on TV. Well-written, well-acted, and reflective of the bravery of the men and women who are unsung heroes. Starring the amazing Dennis Haysbert as Team Leader Jonas Blaine, we followed their exploits through 3 seasons where the show was jerked around [...]
I watched some of the Emmy Awards last night when DH was disgusted with the Cowboys-Giants game. I know it’s heresy, but I was rooting for Eli Manning and the Giants. Don’t tell my Darling Husband though. Anyway, none of the shows I like most won awards.
What’s wrong with these people when Burn Notice wasn’t [...]
I noticed that the NFL preseason is in full swing. A lot of guys and gals are looking forward to the start of regular season, and those whose TV service contracts are up are exploring their options. Those tired of cable are taking a look at Direct TV which offers sports packages so you never [...]

My mom and I were talking about television. Specifically, we were discussing the many options one has for television service. She was trying to decide whether to sign up for Direct TV or not.

I have mixed feelings about Life On Mars, the new paranormal police drama. So I thought I’d write about it and see if I could figure out why I’m ambivalent toward it.
