TV Mini-Series Documentary Recommendation: We Need to Talk about Cosby (2022)

Documentary Recommendations, TV Recommendations, TV Thoughts

It’s difficult to write and discuss about topics that most people find uncomfortable such as drugging women to take advantage of them. It’s even harder when the person involved whether it be a singer, movie star, or athlete is involved that many people once admired. I first learned about Bill Cosby through his successful TV

I recently finished all of the seasons, so far, in American Horror Story. Thanks for the viewers, the show will continue to the 13th season. The 10th season includes a new cast member of Macaulay Culkin (I can’t wait to see him) and Kaia Gerber (I’ll have to see how she does). The creators are

TV Recommendation: First Ladies (2020-)

12/07/2020

TV Recommendations, TV Thoughts

To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart. –Eleanor Roosevelt– The first episode I watched was of Michelle Obama and from there it got more interesting. The longer the First Lady served, the less I knew about these women. The only downfall was having to fast forward through the commercials. I’ve

Thoughts on DWTS so far: Season 29

10/09/2020

TV Thoughts

We are now in a new fall season with many changes due to COVID. Tom Bergeron is gone. I miss him. I still miss Brooke Burke. I don’t miss Erin Andrews. If someone replaced Tyra Banks, I wouldn’t object. There is no audience and the outfits of Tyra Banks often overwhelms the screen. She definitely

TV Show Review: Family Ties (1982-1989)

12/13/2019

TV Recommendations, TV Reviews, TV Thoughts

This is the second time I binge watched this show since it first aired in 1982. I watched all seven seasons, noticing Mallory’s haircut changed and everyone got younger in a few episodes that were out of order. Despite this continuity jump, it was a trip down memory lane with seeing guest stars before they

Quote about Dancing with the Stars by Al Pacino: “All due respect and trying to be as modest as I can be, I am a dancer. But I don’t think I would be on ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ mainly because I would be too shy.” Executive Producers: Ashley Edens-Shaffer, Joe Sungkur, Rob Wade, Andrew Llinares,

Living Without Cable Did Happen, but Definitely Not Now

02/06/2019

Made for TV Movies, TV Thoughts

I grew up with parents who didn’t believe in cable. I was expected to do other things such as play outside, ride bikes, read books, and spend time at the cabin during the summers. One year my parents bought a Nintendo. I played it for a good year, if that, and never touched it again.

Cheers versus Frasier

09/30/2018

TV Recommendations, TV Thoughts

When I made the decision to watch all the Cheers episodes despite not having any interest in bars or baseball, I was completely hooked in the first season. I loved the back and forth between Diane and Sam. They were very strong-willed characters, each trying to capture the essence of what they once were as
