Kids, do you realize that Saved By the Bell is available to watch on Netflix any time you want to see it? You can't see the college years, but that was a poorly executed, if well-intentioned idea anyway. What you can see is every episode featuring Zack Morris and the original gang from Bayside High. … Continue reading Why Zack and Kelly Never Should Have Broken Up

The Top 10 Episodes of Quantum Leap
It's Leap Day! So why not celebrate with a top 10 list focusing on the best episodes from the gone-too-soon sci-fi classic, Quantum Leap. If you're unfamiliar with the show, it featured Scott Bakula as Dr. Sam Beckett, who theorized that one could time travel within his own lifetime. In the pilot episode, he stepped … Continue reading The Top 10 Episodes of Quantum Leap
Introduction
Kids, if you don't watch Arrow or The Flash, this blog post may not make a lot of sense to you. I need to use those TV shows to illustrate my main point here. So if you are among those who just aren't that into super hero shows, you are under no obligation to press … Continue reading Introduction
Playing Host
You guys like Family Feud, right? Of course you do. Everyone loves Family Feud. And it's enjoyed a resurgence in popularity in recent years due, I would say, in large part to host Steve Harvey's priceless facial expressions as he reacts to the responses given by any number of his contestants. If you're not sure … Continue reading Playing Host
Binging Parenthood
Did I type that right? When you binge watch something, are you binging the show? Because that looks like it should be pronounced bing-ing. Like Googling, except you, for some reason, use Bing. Why you'd do that to yourself, I don't know. But what I want you to hear in your head when you read … Continue reading Binging Parenthood
The Many Apocalypses of Buffy Summers
I feel like it's safe to say, in the last few years, we've survived at least a couple of planned apocalypses (to my knowledge). Back in 2011, there was a guy named Harold Camping who claimed to know the day and date of the rapture. That day came and went and (surprise!) the rapture didn't … Continue reading The Many Apocalypses of Buffy Summers
Bachelor in Paradise: An Observation
Until recently, I'd never even considered watching anything related to the "reality" show, The Bachelor. But a friend has spoken highly of the show and, I'll admit, I was intrigued. Does that mean that I caught up on every episode that Hulu had to offer? Absolutely not. I wasn't that intrigued. But over the Labor … Continue reading Bachelor in Paradise: An Observation
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: A Top Ten List
For those of you who may be unaware, I have a deep and abiding love for Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Part of me would like to say that this is merely limited to a mild crush on Sarah Michelle Gellar, but that's just not it. In my humble opinion, it's a brilliant TV show. Thanks … Continue reading Buffy the Vampire Slayer: A Top Ten List
The Murtaugh List
I was always a fan of How I Met Your Mother. It's a show that introduced me to a lot of heartfelt and hilarious concepts: the blue french horn, the slap bet, Robin Sparkles, and the Murtaugh List. The name Murtaugh comes from the character played by Danny Glover in the Lethal Weapon series of … Continue reading The Murtaugh List
Peace of Mind
It's not often that I find commercials to be particularly memorable. Mostly, I think, that's because I refuse to watch live television these days. In my current living situation, I've enjoyed the modern marvel known as the DVR. Fast forwarding through the ads is fantastic. My next living space will be without satellite/cable and, therefore, … Continue reading Peace of Mind
