Solar Opposites: one season
From the voice half of Rick and Morty comes a new cartoon mocking pop culture through alien eyes. What makes Solar even funnier is that everyone on earth they encounter could care less about them (Korvo, Terry, Yumylack and Jesse) being aliens. It’s … Continue reading
RIP Fred Willard
Fred will be dearly missed. He was an incredibly funny guy who never left anything on the bench when he performed. He was also a comedians comedian, an inspiration to his peers and the generations who followed (Tim and Eric … Continue reading
For All Mankind: one season
This was the first show I was interested in watching on Apple’s new TV/Movie network and I was also a little apprehensive. Whenever a former Star Trek producer is involved, it’s a warning that the show might be craptacular. Let’s face it, … Continue reading

Just in time for May the Fourth be with You!
Went with a super deep cut from Star Wars history, the show George Lucas always regrets and tried to destroy every copy he could find…The Wookiee Lifeday Holiday Special which I actually watched the only night it appeared. Hey, anything Star Wars … Continue reading
Kingdom: two seasons
When I thought nothing more could be done with the Zombie trope, this joint Netflix-Korean production proved me wrong. The zombies are more like ghouls since they can run and you must watch the series through its first two seasons … Continue reading

You: two seasons
In light of Pandemic Theater, I chose to add to the other element involved with getting through the boredom but let’s face it, binge watching was something we were already doing years ago. Netflix and other streaming services didn’t invent it … Continue reading
Disenchantment characters remade seriously
My friend Steve (or as I refer to him as Stvee) did these “serious takes” on six key characters from my fave Disenchantment as part of a recent art challenge. I threw in some extra money toward his Kickstarter for going … Continue reading
RIP Brian Dennehy
For a long time, Brian was the original “You know…that guy…he was in…umm, Cocoon and I think Tommy Boy!” actor. I was guilty of forgetting his name too until Cocoon which would’ve been around 1985. What can you say though. Being “forgotten” because you … Continue reading

RIP Honor Blackman
Honor passed away a couple days ago (and not to CV-19). To most Americans, she’s most famous for being Pussy Galore in Goldfinger but I also knew she was one of the first two Avengers before Diana Rigg replaced her to … Continue reading
RIP Curly Neal
Sad to find out via Twitter that Curly of the Harlem Globetrotters passed away. He was definitely one of the iconic members during the peak popularity in the Seventies. Back then the Globetrotters were quite conspicuous: They first appeared on Scooby … Continue reading

Meanwhile…on Rainey Street in Arlen, TX
Block captain Hank Hill was successful at maintaining his weekly beer drinking in the alley with his friends despite Dale thinking the coronavirus is a hoax via Alex Jones and Bill’s need for companionship. Sadly, a non-dickhole conservative like Hank … Continue reading
RIP James Lipton
For starters, wow, he was much older than I expected so a big round of applause for James taking good care of himself! Like most people, he came to my attention through the Will Ferrel skit on SNL. James loved it … Continue reading
Belated Valentine to you all from the Sunny gang!
Word-play, puns, whatever kind of joke this is, I love it! Given what a bunch of reprobates the characters from Sunny are makes this thing even funnier!
RIP Robert Conrad
When I was growing up, Robert was the star of a short-lived WWII show called Black Sheep Squadron. It was loosely based upon the memoirs of Pappy Boyington, a fighter pilot in command of a Marine base. He was also pretty … Continue reading
