Get happy? Why thank you I will. News that The Partridge Family‘s Shirley Jones is to join Cougar Town in a guest role in the upcoming fourth season starting in January 2013 has sent a shiver of delight through this 70s TV fanboy. While I appreciate that the character Continue Reading

Big Bird comforts victims of superstorm Sandy
Having successfully vanquished his greatest foe to date, Mitt Romney (his reference to Big Bird when discussing reducing funding to PBS in one of the Presidential debates spawned an internet meme that took on a life of its own), Big Bird is now turning his attention to matters a Continue Reading
“Cougar Town”: two months till wine o’clock!
It’s been far too long between drinks for everyone’s favourite cul-de-sac crew from Florida but we’re now only two months away from season 4 of Cougar Town and fresh new episodes with the all lunacy, dysfunction and wine drinking anyone could want!

Halloween Checkin 2: Boo! “New Girl” embraces Halloween with gusto

Check in: “The Walking Dead” / “The New Normal”
It might seem odd, even for an ecumenical pop culture-obsessed blogger like myself, to do a joint review of two completely disparate shows.

Joss Whedon endorses Zomney for President

In a less than subtle dig at the economic and social policies of the Republicans’ anointed candidate for US President, pop culture maestro, Joss Whedon, who has given the world Firefly and The Avengers movie, has nominated Mitt Romney as the man Continue Reading
Behind the scenes photos of “Warehouse 13”
Warehouse 13, which screens on the syfy channel in the USA, is a show that I have loved since the first episode. Not all shows, especially ones that had to grow into themselves like Stargate SG1 and Fringe, attract that sort of loyal following from me from the start, Continue Reading
“Husbands” gets inked!
It’s Husbands Jim but not as we know it. Yes Cheeks and Brady, still married, still in love and still damn near hilarious, are back, but this time they’ve swapped their riotously colourful 3D world for the every bit as imaginative 2D world of the comics. In a series Continue Reading
