Today we do something a little different for the TV review as I review a show that isn’t currently on the air and got cancelled about this time last year with little fanfare. Now, before some of you think I’m off to explore irrelevance while this new TV season has literally dozens of new shows…

Mom Jokes: Country Doctor
A young doctor had moved out to a small community to replace a doctor who was retiring. The older doctor suggested that the young one accompany him on his rounds, so the community could become used to a new doctor. At the first house a woman complains, ‘I’ve been a little sick to my…
Mom Jokes: Love and Marriage
A man and woman were having a quiet, romantic dinner in a fine restaurant. They were gazing lovingly at each other and holding hands. Their waitress, taking another order at a table a few steps away, suddenly noticed the man slowly sliding down his chair and under the table, but the woman acted unconcerned. …
Monday Morning Movie Reviewer: 50/50
Unlike last week where I really liked Moneyball and really hated What’s Your Number?, this week’s top movie is just okay. You might even say I’m 50/50 on it, get it? Hey wait, don’t run from my reviewer puns! What Works: Joseph Gordon Levitt (as a very young guy stricken with a rare form of…
Movie Reviews: Lion King 3D
So this one is tough because The Lion King re-release in 3D isn’t really something I wanted to review since it’s almost two decades old but since it exploded the box office I felt I had to review it. So I slapped on those color-muting 3D glasses (they do ruin a nicely colorful picture like…
Movie Reviews: Killer Elite
This movie sucks. What Works: Supposedly, this movie is based on a true story, and I guess that alone makes it more interesting than the typical Jason Statham flick. Still, the trade-off for that is you have to live in the movie’s real-life time of the early 80’s and all the typical, terrible mustaches and…
Mom Jokes: Grandparent’s Answering Machine
Good morning. . . . At present we are not at home but, please Leave your message after you hear the beep. If you are one of our children, press 1 and then select the option from 1 to 5 in order of “birth order” so we know who it is. If you need us…
Monday Morning Movie Reviews: Moneyball, Very Good
As crappy as “What’s Your Number?” is there was a movie this weekend that gave me hope that the future of movies is not lost. I saw Moneyball and (even though I’m not a baseball or even a sports fan whatsoever) consider it easily one of the best sports based movies I’ve seen in several…
Movie Review: What’s Your Number?, Strong Contender For Worst Movie of the Year
“What’s Your Number?” is only exceptional in that it is the worst movie I’ve seen in at least three month (at least since Bad Teacher). In fact, it is a very strong contender for worst movie of the year. Now, longtime readers will ask “But you’ve reviewed Big Momma’s House 3 and Gnomeo and Juliet?”…
TV Reviews of Some New Fall Shows, and Some Very Old Ones
I sore a blood oath (minus the blood) that I would bring loyal readers reviews of all the new Fall shows. So far I’ve reviewed the first 19 premieres to debut, and today bring reviews of “Suburgatory” and “How to Be a Gentleman.” But since two paragraph long reviews of those shows probably aren’t enough,…
Mom Jokes: The Lecture
An elderly man is stopped by the police around 1 am. and is asked where he is going at this time of night. The man replies, “I am going to a lecture about alcohol abuse and the effects it has on the human body.” The officer then asks, “Really? Who is giving that lecture at this…
Entertainment Editorial: Is George Clooney the King of Fall?
So about once every three years there seems to be a Will Smith movie that opens on the 4th of July (Independence Day, Men in Black, Hancock, etc.) and it happens enough that his nickname has become “King of the 4th of July.” Which begs the question: What other time periods do movie stars “own?”…
TV Reviews: Reviewing 19 of the New Fall Shows
Today I go for a record number of reviews on the site as I attempt to review all 17 of the broadcast TV (that’s Fox, ABC, CBS, for about another two years NBC, and the why-the-hell-not CW) pilots that have aired so far. I have seen EVERY pilot that has aired so far (appreciate my…
