The Discovery Channel has a new show: Power tool drag racing. Solvency.

Dr. Frank Burns died last week.

So, 300 channels and there's nothing on, but I did catch bits of a couple of shows that I would like to share. You see, right now they're bouncing around in my head killing brain cells and will continue to do so until I can let it out to torture someone else. First, some channel […]

On Wednesday night, CBS News broke into "CSI: N.Y." to report the death of Palestinian terrorist Yasser Arafat -- angering viewers who didn't get to see the show's exciting conculsion! With just a few minutes to go before the 11 p.m. local newscast, this was a bad call. A crawl along the bottom of the […]

Thanks to Neflix I've been watching the first of three DVDs of the old Dukes of Hazzard TV series.

The increase varies anywhere from 50 cents to $2, depending on your age. But they never tell you what the cost of a monthly pass is -- […]

CNN was on the TV closest to me at work this evening. I'm probably the only person around who prefers Fox News for the most part. Larry King had on Bree Walker and her husband Jim Lampley. Walker used to be an anchorwoman for one of the local San Diego stations back in the '80s […]

New York Newsday columnist James Pinkerton's latest column suggests that with last week's release of the Aug. 6 PDB, voids any credibility that the Bush administration has regarding preventing terrorism and the 9/11 attacks. If you knew that President Franklin D. Roosevelt had received a memo a month before Pearl Harbor entitled, "Japanese Determined to […]
