Last night’s installment of the close-to-cancellation cult sitcom Community was the first in quite some time that reminded me why this show deserves another season.

Everything’s Better in Baseball Season. It just is. The sun is shining, patios are opening, school will be letting out and, most important of all, my boys are back on TV and (very soon!) at the Rogers Centre. As a Jays fan, the season opener kicked off 2012 with a spectacular bang as my boys […]
I know, I know, these are unforgivably late. But our annual Award Nominee Interview Series ballooned to 50 people and took forever to roll out.

I was just attempting to process my love for The Legend of Korra, and my excitement for this season (Book One: Air!). Wait, “What’s The Legend of Korra?” …Seriously? You’re killin’ me, Smalls. Okay. Let’s start at […]
I am disappointed in the latest episode of Mad Men. It kind of makes me sad just writing that. For the past two seasons (and some change), I have felt that Mad Men could do no wrong. For the first time in a long time, though, I’m not sure. I sincerely hope that next week […]
Encore Entertainment’s concert production, Songs in the Key of Stephen, was a joyous evening of entertainment. Their stirring production of The Laramie Project had featured a mixed bag of talent, so I was a little worried that they might not attract the kind of voices they needed to pull off an evening of Sondheim and […]
