This morning, I was able to catch most of Regis and Kelly (the ONLY celebrity focused morning show I enjoy watching). As I made mention of earlier, John Stamos is now in previews for Bye, Bye Birdie for its return to the Broadway stage since the debut 50 years ago (WOW!). Mr. Stamos will be […]

Tonight was our first dress rehearsal complete with newspaper reviewer and minus one key character from the production… UGH! I dunno… week of opening with 4 rehearsals to go and one of the major cast members is at a meeting but I guess it must have been important. So we had a fill-in read lines

There have been various interpretations on the old theme of superhuman powers being transferred to another person. Last night, I revisited one of those in a season 1 episode of Smallville. During a freak accident during a lightning storm, Clark Kent’s powers are passed to one of his high school classmates. Clark gets to discover

I recently started to catch up on some of my DVR viewing (hours and hours of programming, someday when I’m more free….). I watched one of the tens of episodes of Batman: The Brave and the Bold that harkened back to the 60s series. The pre-credits teaser found the Caped Crusader and the Boy Wonder

there was the original J.J. Abrams creation, Alias. It began in 2001 and ran for a total of five thrilling seasons. Its debut was actually delayed after the events of 9/11. Tonight, while others watched a race (snooze), I decided to revisit the series courtesy of the DVD collections I received as Christmas presents over

This weekend being the one in which we all honor our fathers, I thought it would be fun to take a peek at fictional dads who have been presented in television. In the beginning, it seemed as if families were shown as perfect, squeaky-clean and conflicts could be resolved in 30 minutes or less. Conflicts

Sitting here watching the Scripps National Spelling Bee (not sure if it was taped prior or not… OH, it is live) but the staged musical bumpers are getting rather tiresome. Get on with the competition already! It almost seems like a televised round of golf with the commentators including Tom Bergeron (of Dancing with the
I can accept most things concerning the long, tedious 8 year run of Smallville… For example, character introductions much earlier than acceptable for the sake of increasing ratings. For another, the Incredible Hulk meets Superman interpretation of Doomsday HOWEVER, when viewers have been waiting all season long for what is supposed to be the much-anticipated

Before turning in for the night, I like to periodically check the guide to see who is going to be on the late night gab fests. Sometimes, they pique my interest (Jack Hanna on Letterman in which case I have to pass the word to tangent’s own animal lover, taylhis). Last night, Jay Leno had

Have I yet posted on the coincidence involved in the Halloween movie franchise (at least the original 1978 movie)? Well… if so, I apologize. It seems that during the 3 year run of the original Star Trek series, William Shatner was fitted for a death mask. Perhaps if the series had continued on the Enterprise’s
