Going through our My TV archives I discovered the following article in an “Obsessions of the Week” column from the days before My Theatre existed. As I embark on my Stratford 2011 top 12 rankings, I thought I’d share the article, if only for the nostalgic fun. “I recently wrapped up my 7 show […]

It was unlikely that I would like The Playboy Club (hence the unforgivably late review). Not only is it so far from being a hit that it’s already facing cancellation rumours (though NBC swears they’re being patient this year), generally speaking female-driven stories aren’t my thing, certainly not corset-clad female-driven stories.

If given the chance to meet just one celebrity in my life, it wouldn’t take long for me to come up with a remarkably short list of whom I would choose. Very near the top of that list would be the endearing and multi-talented Seth MacFarlane. If you watch an interview with the Family Guy/American Dad/Cleveland […]
