I admit it, I am a reality show junkie. My Darling Doug is too, but in a different way. His Reality Shows are football and baseball. Mine are Dancing With The Stars, and American Idol, The Biggest Looser, and my personal favorite The Amazing Race.  For several seasons, these shows have… Read full post »

It's still one of my favorite channels-and not just because they run StarTrek-Next Generation every day (although that doesn't hurt!) but becaus… Read full post »

That question has a simple answer.

 Nobody.

He is the figment of an imagination.   Not only of Matthew Weiner, creator of Mad Men, but more importantly of Dick Whitman, the man playing the part.   Don Draper doesn’t exist.   He died in Korea ten years before.… Read full post »

I love a story that has layers. That has great dialogue. A fascinating storyline and a good solid plot. A like characters that are rich in personality, and depth. I have to admit that sometimes, I get frustrated with the drivel that is mass produced by Hollywood and force fed to… Read full post »
