The Influence of Canadian Productions on American Afternoon TV

I have a confession to make: for years, I thought You Can't Do That on Television was just another Nickelodeon show.

While Ted Mosby remains the worst character nine times out of ten (seriously, the guy is insufferable), and the finale still makes me want to throw things at my … Continue reading Bro Code and Playbook: Unpacking Barney Stinson’s Legendary Rules
