Another slow week. Have no fear, as many shows return next week and many more after that! There is joy on the horizon! At any rate, check out my five media-related observations of the week:
1. This week’s South Park, “Major Boobage,” was funnier (anything involving Gerald Broflovski or Randy Marsh is guaranteed hysterical), more [...]

John Adams: Part 3 – “Don’t Tread on Me”

I’m going to be out of the country for the next week, so don’t expect too much chatter on here, not that we’ve been bursting with blog-worthy stuff anyways.At any rate, I’ve got some exciting news this [...]
