Best of 2011: A second season of glorious zombies in ‘The Walking Dead’
Adapted from the comic book series by Robert Kirkman, The Walking Dead is kind of like Lost but instead of a mysterious island, there are zombies. Lots of zombies. My commitment to the show about a sweaty oddball group of survivors led by Dr. Jack Shephard-equivalent Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) in a zombie apocalypse is...

When Oprah Winfrey ended her popular day time talk show on May 25, 2011, millions upon millions upon millions of her loyal followers let out a collective snot-infused ugly cry.

Best of 2011: The badassness of ‘Breaking Bad’
I was guilted into watching Breaking Bad. It’s one of those shows where people automatically think you are a moron if you DON’T watch it. In turn, they think they are WAAAAAAAY better than you. After stabbing the last person who scoffed at me for not watching it, I gave in and purchased the first...

‘Pan Am’ vs. ‘Once Upon a Time’ DVR death match: the results are in!
A little over a week ago, I asked my loyal readers to vote off a show from my DVR. The two shows on the chopping block were the mid-century modern, high-flying Pan Am or the fairytale serial drama Once Upon a Time. A whopping 18 READERS (yes, you read that right: 1-8!) voted and here...
Best of 2011: ‘Happy Endings’
Happy Endings is by far my favorite new show of 2011…even though it isn’t necessarily BRAND NEW. Currently in its second season, Happy Endings is one of those show which I flocked to late in the game. The snappy writing, appropriate inappropriateness, the witty quips, and approachable pop culture references make the show a stand-out...
Jimmy Fallon didn’t break character on ‘Saturday Night Live’
For some odd reason, every time Jimmy Fallon does something on TV, it looks like he is always having more fun than the rest of the world. His hosting gig on Saturday Night Live wasn’t an exception and he didn’t break character once! (As far as I noticed.) His hosting gig was a homecoming for...

Golden Globe nominations: the list heard around the world at 4 a.m.
Lordy, lordy, lordy. The nominations for the 69th annual Golden Globe were announced and there are a lot of opinions to be had — and I mean A LOT of opinions to be had. From praise for The Artist to “WTF is that movie doing there?!” to a lack of Community, I shall digest the...
Get ready for comparisons of Lena Dunham’s ‘Girls’ to CBS’s ’2 Broke Girls’
Created by Lena Dunham and backed by the executive producing chops of Judd Apatow and Jenni Konner, Girls is forecasted to be the cool show for twenty (and even thirty)-something females. Girls premise is pretty straightforward: a writer Hannah (Dunham) and her rag tag group of gal pals (played by Jemima Kirke and Allison Williams)...
SF Sketchfest is upon us: check out the full schedule
SF Sketchfest has announced their lineup and it is quite fantastic if I do say so myself.

In addition, this year’s roster is filled with some top-notch performers that will spread joy, hilarity and possibly some...
