Ah, Gene Kelly. One of the greatest actors / dancers in cinema. His films are classics. Singin’ in the Rain. An American in Paris. Anchors Aweigh. Jack and the Beanstalk. Wait… Jack and the Beanstalk?!? Yeps. In 1967, Gene Kelly worked with the Hanna-Barbera animation studio to craft a musical version of the vintage children’s…

Amish Mafia Episode Review: “A Church Divided”
With only eight episodes left until the Amish Mafia series finale, let’s see what’s going on in wacky Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Jeez, at this point in time, I almost expect to see Lebanon Levi and his Amish going to war with Doug Duevil and his Mennonites, to the point where they could cast Richard Beymer…
Read MoreAmish Mafia episode review: The Return
Crank up the crazy violins, show us the slow-motion Amish buggies traipising through Lancaster County, Pa., it’s time once again for the trashiest reality TV series that doesn’t involve 7-year-old beauty pageant contestants, 15-year-old pregnant teens, backwoods alcohol / marijuana producers, girls from Poughkeepsie who wear enough bronzer to confuse pigeons looking for a place…
Read MoreThe only moment of Super Bowl XLIX worth watching was…
I’m sorry. As a football fan, I could not wrap myself around enjoying last night’s Super Bowl matchup. As a Pittsburgh Steelers fan, I could not watch the New England Patriots (and former Steeler locker room cancer LaGarrette Blount) hoist the Lombardi Trophy. And I couldn’t root for the Seattle Seahawks either, especially after they…
Read MoreWho was that girl in the commercial?
Last night, I played trivia over at Brown’s Brewing. It’s my normal Monday night game, and I figured I’d play it instead of worrying about a Nor’easter that might ruin all my plans for tomorrow. I was in third place, and the final question was in the category of “Women in commercials.” Okay. Could be…

Yep… it’s time for the final season of Amish Mafia, which will premiere its last episodes on Tuesday, February 10 on the Discovery Channel. Now for anybody who’s unaware of this little program,…
Read MoreWhat the Marvel Super-Heroes looked like on Saturday mornings
Every Marvel Comics fan is probably salivating like Pavlov’s dogs at the upcoming May release of the new Avengers movie, as well as some standalone films that will be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Yeah, and I’m also waiting for the new Fantastic Four reboot and hoping it’ll be better than the last two…
Read MoreI know that song from the QuickBooks commercial!!
I realize that I’ve come to the age in my life where the songs I played on college radio are now appearing as jingles for commercial products. Yes, I’ve heard Modern English’s “I Melt With You” in a Burger King commercial, and Human League’s “Don’t You Want Me” has shown up in Chips Ahoy! commercials…
Read MoreI need childhood moments of joy…
I can’t turn on the television without seeing more tragedy in the world. I can’t listen to the radio without hearing about a senseless murder or a horrifying suicide. It’s times like this – where I just wish I was six years old and could escape all this misery and pain by watching the simple…
Read MorePrepare for the Monkey magic
If I were to say to you, “Name a live-action children’s show in which most of the action comes from a Japanese television series, the show is dubbed into English and it becomes a huge hit.” Yeah, I know most of you immediately said Mighty Morphin Power Rangers or Power Rangers Lightspeed or Power Rangers…
