Here we are, back in scenic rainy Lancaster County, Pa., for this week’s episode of the Discovery Channel’s new TV show “Amish Mafia.” It’s rainy, it’s cold, and for the first time since I started regularly reviewing episodes of “American Dreams” a decade ago, I’m going to provide a television review on the Internet.

The Return of the Twilight Zone
Revivals of classic television shows have been, for lack of a better description, hit or miss. For every successful resurrection of a classic TV staple (Hawaii Five-O), there have been some seriously smelly stinkers (did you ever see the remake of Fantasy Island? No? Count your blessings…).

Read MoreThe McManly sandwich – more McFrankenfoods!!
Here’s the deal. A while back, my buddy and blog reader Chad (you know him as blog reader Chad9976) sent out a video where he ate an item that was not on the “official” McDonald’s menu.

Read MoreIt’s official. I am old.
I can’t believe how old I feel. It’s almost as if my memories are filling in areas of my subconscious with images of the past. And even if I look at some locale for a while, I’m still struck by the fact that what is currently at that location is not the building or business…

Last week, the Skidmarks returned to the Elbo Room Tournament, hoping to sneak in on one of the final weeks of action. They didn’t make it that week, but another team – the Jets – snuck in with a playoff point for a third-place finish. This week, another classic Elbo Room team returned for a…
