Prison Break, one of the finest broadcast teevee shows to ever grace a screen, had its series finale episode Friday night.
I’ll not do any buzzkill recaps, in case it’s still on your DVR, but the finale was awesome. After four seasons of nail-biting, sitting on the edge of the chair drama, the finale wrapped [...]
While I typed into this old waste of bandwidth blog yesterday afternoon, the Indy 500 Pole Day Qualifying was run, and I missed it. I was somewhat bummed about that, but I enjoy all the Indy drama, so I thought I’d ass up and watch some of the second day qualifying. The 500’s [...]
Last weekend, in a fit of tbbs WorldHQ tidying, defenestration, and spontaneous combustion abatement, I became distressed at the state of our remote controls for our various home entertainment devices.
I’ll say first that MLB and I don’t have a huge array of devices to control; our home entertainment stack consists of a Sharp Aquos [...]
Academy: An archiac institution, wherein football is not taught.
Academy of Country Music Awards: An overhyped, overamped, overproduced teevee production, wherein Country Music is not sung.

James Whitmore, stage, screen and TV actor, has passed away at age 87.
I am always somewhat disconcerted when I pay tribute to those such as James Whitmore; invariably, their careers spanned far beyond the limits of my narrow world view.
I’m no movie buff, and heaven knows that live theater is far outside my sphere. [...]

Patrick McGoohan, of Secret Agent and The Prisoner fame, has passed away at age 80.
I was a Secret Agent fan back in my long, long ago youthful years. I’ve never watched The Prisoner, however. Coincidentally, I read some chatter about The Prisoner in my FriendFeed channel earlier in the month. This series [...]

Ricardo Montalban, silver screen and teevee actor, has passed away at age 88. Frankly, the Fantasy Island fanfare didn’t impress me overly in its heyday. To me, the phrase Fine Corinthian Leather, from the car ads, endeared him forever.
I always have trouble writing these RIP posts; I remember a man with a [...]

It’s back. Two hours tonight, two more tomorrow.
Reviled by some. Loved by me. The Tivo is armed.

One of my favorite weeks of the year looms on the horizon: Thanksgiving week. I’ve taken off the post T-day Friday for more than 25 years; at that time, I was an itinerant computer systems installer, and the PTDF was spent, ahem, doing paperwork, as official timesheets will show. Truth is, all the paperwork [...]
