TV. Food. Pop Culture.
Every now and then, I like to get on my soap box and complain about Facebook etiquette. It’s been a little while; so I’m back with a new list of pet peeves. Some are retreads of previous complaints. Others are new. There’s certainly a chance I may alienate some of my own Facebook friends by …

Not too long ago, I published my lists of the ten best and worst women from the Real Housewives franchise. The rankings seemed to be well-received; so here I am with another go at it, this time aimed at the guys. I’ve compiled a list of the worst husbands and boyfriends from the Housewives franchise, …
Ranking the ten worst Real Housewives was surprisingly difficult for me as I discovered that many of the people I deemed “the worst” were actually cast members who I loved. After all, where would we be without these women? We’d be stuck with the bland Kandi Burresses and Jacqueline Lauritas of the world. Such is …

Last but not least in my “Best of 2008” series is film, and for the first time in a while, I feel pretty well informed on the subject. Being that this has been my first awards season as a member of the WGA, I’ve benefited from copious numbers of screenings and screeners, thus allowing me …
2008 was a curious year for television, what with the writers strike and all. Seasons got messed up, late night shows went without comedy, and CBS aired a bonus edition of Big Brother — which sadly was universally loathed by pretty much everyone but me. That’s okay though. I don’t mind being a maverick when …
Well, it’s the new year, which means that it’s time to look back at 2008 and make the obligatory Best Of lists. For no particular reason, I’m starting with music, and let me just state that I am not a music connoisseur. My knowledge pretty much encompasses what I hear on the radio plus various …
Well, I just exercised my constitutional rights. And it was glorious. Actually, it wasn’t. I stood in line for an hour, which was fine and expected. The only problem was that the woman behind me would not. stop. talking. I’m telling you, she chatted incessantly, oversharing her entire life to virtual strangers. Thankfully, she wasn’t …

Starting tomorrow, the Food Network will be airing brand new episodes of The Barefoot Contessa, and in honor of this GOOD event, I’ve decided to rank my top ten “Ina-isms”  those familiar phrases Ina Garten employs time and time again, much to my continued entertainment. The best part about Ina-isms, however, is guessing when …
