Time Warner Cable’s new lineup o’ torture
They’ve sent mesages to me in my mailbox. They’ve robo-called me. And all the time, I thought they were just kidding, that they were just threatening, that this was an April Fool’s Day joke that was a victim of poor scheduling. Then I woke up this morning, and turned on the television. Hmm. Maybe I’ll…

So apparently this wrap-up episode of the second season of “Amish Mafia” promises to answer all your questions. The cast members / reality stars of South Central Pennsylvania will sit down in front of the cameras and explain why they did certain things, why they didn’t do other things, and why they’re in a world…
Read More“Amish Mafia” episode review: Sacrificial Lamb
And just as quickly as it arrived… Amish Mafia is packing up the buggies and clip-clopping away. Crumbs. And it was just tarting to get trashy-trashy good.

Read MoreDon’t make these mistakes in your acting career
I’m not going to sugar-coat this. The possibility of me being part of a television sitcom or movie drama probably faded away about 15 years ago. Sure, maybe I thought once or twice about acting, and then I realized that you can’t just say “I was the second Wise Man in our 4th grade Nativity…

Read MoreThe return of Downton Abbey, Season 4
Thought I’d share this little tidbit with all of you Downton Abbey fans. Here’s a clip for the preview of Season 4. We won’t be able to watch it in the United States for another few months… But that shouldn’t stop all of you from trying to analyze this clip like it’s the Zapruder film.…
Read More“Amish Mafia” episode review: Paradise
First off, before I commence this week’s review of cable television’s trashiest reality show, let’s talk about the Amish’s use of technology, or non-use of it. And for this, I bring in today’s extra-special cast member of “Amish Mafia,” Merlin Miller, the head honcho in Holmes County, Ohio, for his take on the use of…
Read More“Gimme back the Smithsonian Channel, Time Warner Cable!!!”
This impasse between CBS and Time Warner Cable is bordering on the ridiculous. It’s been three weeks since Time Warner Cable and CBS had a falling-out over cable rates. This means I can’t watch CBS shows on the OnDemand section of Time Warner Cable’s service, and I can’t watch reruns of CBS shows on CBS.com…
