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
Full House: Where Are They Now?
Full House is another one of those shows that I watched a lot growing up. I'm not sure I ever actually watched it on Friday nights when it originally aired. But I caught every episode at one point or another in syndication. And I'm actually intrigued by the upcoming Full House sequel/spin-off that Netflix is … Continue reading Full House: Where Are They Now?
Saved By the Bell: Where Are They Now?
I watched Saved By the Bell all the time, not only as a kid, but as an adult when TBS would show reruns early in the morning. Who needs to watch the news while you get ready for work when you can relive the adventures of the gang from Bayside High five days a week? … Continue reading Saved By the Bell: Where Are They Now?
What’s the Deal with Jess?
I've recently watched though the entire run of Gilmore Girls. Despite being a grown man, I'm perfectly comfortable making that statement publicly. It's a pretty well-written show with a lot of humor woven into the drama. There are some topical references that don't make much sense these days, but the show ended eight years ago, … Continue reading What’s the Deal with Jess?
Were They On a Break?
Thanks to the magic of Netflix, the entire 10 season run of Friends is available at the push of a button. Now, if you have that handy Netflix subscription, you can watch any or all episodes at any time of the day or night. Of course, since I already had all 10 seasons on DVD, … Continue reading Were They On a Break?
