I don’t usually cry while watching TV. Well, maybe sometimes. Okay, every now and again, but not super super easily. I’m secretly a cryer, I’ll admit that; I’m a chocolate turtle; one of those “nougat-y” people is what Glee would call me. Or, as my friend Rini puts it, I’m a marshmallow. But Glee usually […]

 

It’s saying something that I considered briefly whether this even qualified as a MY TV story. After all, the Rally to Restore Sanity was an off-shoot of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, and Stewart himself occasionally down played the event as basically a 3 hour long comedy show. But in the end, what […]

The Joys of Parenthood
 

Over the last month or so I’ve made a point of catching up on a show that had all the promise in the world but I just never got around to watching, and I couldn’t be happier that I did. Parenthood has quickly become one of my favourite hours of TV in the week. It’s […]

And that’s what makes you awesome…

I’m bored with this whole Marshall and Lily conceiving storyline and this episode didn’t exactly have the zip and vigor of some of the all time best How I Met Your Mother episodes, but it did have something that I occasionally look to HIMYM for (which I don’t feel like I get anywhere else): a legitimate, […]
