Warning: clickable links galore. Do not read this column if you don’t plan on being sucked into a portal of never-ending self/cross referential humor. Despite what “The Big Bang Theory’s” ratings would have you believe, the best comedy on television isn’t on CBS. It isn’t on Fox’s Animation Domination block, or even Comedy Central, either. [...]
Warning, minor spoilers. For fans of HBO’s “Game of Thrones,” winter has finally come and gone. The snows – well, rains, here in Berkeley – have given way to the promise of spring, and with it, the second season of this spectacular fantasy drama. Many times, shows and movies based off of books [...]
As a self-acknowledged sports geek, I love power rankings. The act of picking a pecking order always fascinates me. I mean, I love music, too, but besides the singing and the blind audition process, that’s probably the other biggest reason I love NBC’s The Voice…it gives me plenty of opportunities to make power rankings.

Some thoughts on The Greatest Television Show Nobody Ever Watched, and why you – yes, you – should change that. Today started out like most of my days do. The alarm on my phone went off – its loud rumbling a signal that it was time for me to get up and be a productive, [...]
Since I’m pretty sure none of you live under a rock, you’ll all have heard or read about the Grammy awards (or maybe you even watched it!). Coined as ‘Music’s Biggest Night’, the Grammy’s are generally a pretty big deal around town, really determining the who’s who in the music industry – the Grammy’s rule [...]
I was never a huge fan of Glee myself. I definitely felt as though the hit television series was a bit over-glorified. I watched the first season after recommendations from friends, and the overdone high school atmosphere and unoriginal plot kept me from continuing on with the show. Not only that, but also most of [...]
Forget a house in the suburbs, the new American Dream is Bravo-ized. No one wants a picket fence and a home cooked meal when they can have wrought iron gates and an appetizer inspired by the seven deadly sins. America is taking lessons for its future from waif stylists with awkward speech pauses and moms [...]
If this week’s Bachelor could be described in one phrase it would be “skinny winning.” Chances are Courtney offended you at one time this season and in this episode especially. But while this token model may have packed lightly in the morals compartment for Puerto Rico, a true Bachelorist knows that our communal [...]
The following excerpt is taken from part four of a six-part BBC Series on British Television: the story you are about to hear is true; only the names have been changed to protect the identities of Her Majesty The Queen Belinda’s loyal subjects. Throwing out the thin strip of dental floss like a toothless whore [...]
The 83rd Annual Academy Awards (aka the Oscars) was held last night at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles. I was particularly interested in this year’s awards due to the ever present hype that surrounds it, in particular its hosts: James Franco and Anne Hathaway. Both are movie stars that have recently cemented themselves as [...]
