Becca's resolution made me a bit sad. For my entire adult life, I had a fear of driving. I took the bus anywhere I needed to be. I spent that time reading books—which was also convenient since the central bus station was near a library. I got through all of Jane Austen's books on the bus. Last year, I finally saw…

If you need to satisfy your need for historical cooking shows, I highly recommend the British show The Supersizers. A restaurant critic and a comedienne spend a week eating historically accurate food from a different time period. My favorite episodes were WWII, Medieval, and the French Revolution.

Regardless of the B-, "The Beast With a Billion Backs" will always hold a special place in my heart because I watched it on my first date with my husband. He had become smitten over me because Futurama is his favorite show and I could quote it from memory.

In the King of the Hill episode "Aisle 8A," when Connie gets her first period and Hank is the only adult around (and completely clueless), Hank takes her to the hospital and the following conversation ensues:
Doctor: I've set Connie up for now, but here's a list of products you can buy at any pharmacy.
Hank: Couldn't…

I loved Stick Stickley, but it was probably one of those things where you had to be there. My husband grew up without cable, and he seemed very disturbed by that clip.

Gone With the Wind. I love watching it, but I can't in good conscience show it to . . . well, a lot of people.

I would have preferred a season of Downton Arby's.

They really stretched the definition of "family-friendly," what with all the family member characters being obsessed with the sex lives of other family members.

7th Heaven was the show that got me into snarking over at TWOP. This morning, I e-mailed my dad an article with the news. Then 30 minutes later, my mom called him and asked if he had heard.

This would have been more surprising if the ads for the episode didn't include shots of people wearing yarmulkes at the funeral.

My name is rare to the point where the only time I saw a movie with a character of the same name, I got actively confused. I kept looking around to see who was calling for me.

Please bring back the Twilight Zone reviews soon. I can't think of anything I could have done lately that would warrant me receiving an ironic punishment in which the reviews were taken away forever.

What's your hurry? Throw some "ers" and "uhs" in there.

I bought the complete series DVD through Amazon Canada when I was in college. The mail lady made me sign for it, which never happened with other Amazon packages. As I was signing, she was looking at the box closely, asking, "Is . . . is this from Canada?"

I'm named after a grandfather who died before I was born. When my grandmother was moving and we were cleaning out her house, I kept my grandfather's copies of Shakespeare plays that he bought in the 1930' since I am a theatre person. I opened "Romeo and Juliet" and found that he had written notes in the margins,…

I thought they'd go with the two-part season finale for the ambition of it, but Mazel Tina is one of my favorite episodes, so I'm happy.

I'm not finding American Fringe on my cable schedule for the next two weeks, nor is there any mention of the show on the National Geographic Channel website. The only search hits I'm getting for it are from a press release from two weeks ago. Has this been yanked before it even aired? Shame, it sounded interesting.

My theatre group is doing an Indiegogo campaign to raise money for a free Shakespeare show that is open to the public, and we have raised less than half the money. This article makes me want to punch a hole in the wall.

The most ridiculous example (as with most things) is from 7th Heaven. The actor playing Annie's father died, but they kept his character going for about 10 months. During that time, the actor playing Annie was having a contract dispute. Whenever Annie was missing from an episode, the characters would say she was…

Stop being wishy-washy with post-apocalyptic shows. I want "The Day After" meets "Threads!"
