This is my second posting of the day and my second TV related posting about a ratings deprived TV show. I don't know. Maybe it's "Save Good TV" day.
The season finale of Veronica Mars is fast approaching. I have a funny feeling I know who killed Lilly Kane. I hope ...

In my mind, most mid-season replacement TV shows are doomed to failure. They aren't as anticipated as the shows premiering in the Fall and they usually aren't as hyped. People have usually found the shows they are looking for and debuting a show in March just doesn't work. This is ...

When I was a kid, I attended an overnight soccer camp. In the dining room, there were pitchers of "bug juice" at each table. Not sure why it was called "bug juice" -- it was probably a cheap, Kool-Aid-like refreshment. Anyway...whoever finished off the pitcher was the person who had ...

Last night we're eating dinner. We had hot dogs. I cut up my daughter's hot dog into little bite size pieces. She has a thing against bread, which I don't understand. She doesn't eat sandwiches. She won't eat a hot dog on a bun. It's a bit annoying and makes ...

While trying to understand what being Jewish is about, she asked my daughter if ...

The Oregon Supreme court nullified the gay marriage licenses that were issued last year. "Gov. Ted Kulongoski said he will push for a law allowing gay couples to form civil unions that would give them many of the rights available to married couples."
Could somebody please explain the difference between marriage ...

My wife and I have realized something: We aren't as great at parenting as we thought. That's not to say we're not great parents...I really think we are...we're just not the experts we thought we were.
The birth of our son has brought us back down to earth. I think ...

I'm no plumber. When I have a stopped drain, I usually pour Drano and pray. Usually, the Drano will improve things for about a week and then I give up. Sometimes I'll pay a plumber $75 to come out and unstop my drains. No more!
I found the greatest tool. ...

On The Apprentice last night, teams had to design a clothing line that incorporated easy access to technology, such as cell phones, iPods, etc. and make a presentation for American Eagle Outfitters executives. Net Worth lost again and Angie was fired.
After the show, my wife and I got into a ...

I think advertisers are pretty smart people. Start hitting 'em when they're young. On and off for the past couple of years, General Mills cereals -- Cheerios, Lucky Charms, etc. -- have been giving away little toy NASCAR cars as prizes in the box. Except with being annoyed by the ...
