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

Day Three
My Favorite Television Program I'm gonna go ahead and assume that this is my favorite television program of all time. In which case, I would absolutely have to go with the first season of Flavor of Love. How could you not like Flavor Flav's classic search for love?Just kidding. The correct answer is really Buffy … Continue reading Day Three
Previously on Big Brother
Item number 73 on my Bucket List is to spend a summer living in the Big Brother house. I've applied once before and never heard anything from CBS. Kids, I've decided to give it another shot. Thankfully, this isn't like that time I decided to try out for American Idol and had to drive to … Continue reading Previously on Big Brother
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
Free Cable
I was never privy to a first-hand account of the following story. But it's a funny one and comes from my friend, Mark. Back in the Bluefield days, there was a guy who, upon entering his freshman year, was excited to find out that cable am as a part of our room and board. So, … Continue reading Free Cable
What You Get with Game Shows
In my time off this summer, I've had plenty of opportunities to watch game shows. From The Price Is Right to Wheel of Fortune and, of course, Jeopardy! I'm not complaining about game shows. I have Netflix, too. So if I didn't want to watch game shows, I really don't have to. But I like … Continue reading What You Get with Game Shows
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?
