Despite my love for the genre, I’m well aware that I came into pop culture consuming prominence during the wane of the golden age of the sitcom. Consider Seinfeld and Friends its death gasp, and the intervention of single-camera, laugh track-less half hour comedies its replacement (thanks a lot, critically acclaimed, brilliant comedies!), and it’s […]

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is not only the incomparably engaging (and beautifully dimpled) star of my new favourite movie of the summer (500 Days of Summer) but he is also the star of my favourite sports movie of all time (Angels in the Outfield) and my favourite teen movie of all time (10 Things I Hate About […]
If you choose to ignore the final 30 seconds or so of tonight’s final Samantha Who episode, you can really delude yourself into thinking that the series had a proper sendoff.

Hot-headed David, despite a genuine-seeming apology […]
He may not be a born dancer, but Triple Sensation‘s most recent cast-off could really bring down the house with his tremendous singing and acting skills. Glen Mills, a 22 year-old from Alberta with the stage presence to tackle Titus, was one of my main reasons for tuning in each week. Congratulations on making it so […]
Tonight was the last ever episode of Valentine on The CW. It’s not as if I didn’t know this was coming, every additional episode that showed up on my PVR was a posthumous gift from the darling show. But what I didn’t expect was to already miss the show so much. It was always a […]
