3/2 - “When I grow up, I want to be a sideline reporter”

I wonder if this is something that little girls someday dream of becoming.  After all, at least half of all NFL (and other sports) sideline/field reporters are female.
The thing is, most aspiring careerists who go through broadcasting school I think would prefer to be in the booth, doing play by play.
As much as women have [...]

11/6 - “For couples, TV is more important than religion”

TV is more important than religion.  I believe so.  It’s definitely a more important issue in a household of a married/unmarried couple living together.  I mean, the only time religious belief could kinda become an issue is when you have kids.  And even then, it doesn’t really matter.  The kid [...]

11/4 - “Kudos to Dan Aykroyd”

It’s not uncommon for those in show business to change their names to something shorter, more memorable, and possibly less “Jewy.”  Mr. Aykroyd, not a Jew as far as I know, probably has the most challenging 7 letter name to spell.  I mean, now that I’m writing this post and focusing on [...]

11/1 - “No wonder Detroit is bankrupt”

While watching the World Series, a Ford commercial popped on the TV.  It seems a lot of these Detroit-based automakers have been trying to “hippen-up” their advertising and marketing campaigns.
Apparently Ford’s latest slogan is Ford — “Drive One.”
Wow.  Must’ve took some real creative geniuses to come up with that shit.
Maybe whomever came up with that [...]

10/15 - “Good channel flippers”

Since the advent of Tivo and DVR, the need to be a good “flipper,” isn’t as crucial, but I still feel is very relevant to today’s society.
Often we’ll be watching 2 programs at once, and both programs feature commercials.  The goal is when one show goes to a commercial, flip to other, but also make [...]

10/11 - “Kid Hunters”

Like the HGTV show House Hunters, I think there ought to be a TV show that takes on a similar format — but instead of houses, it’s children.  With House Hunters, an individual or couple tours 3 homes, and at the conclusion of the episode they choose 1.
Let’s do this with kids!  A couple [...]

7/4 - “Fireworks on TV, lol”

Quick July 4th holiday edition!  There are some things that translate well to television, and there are other things that just don’t.  For example, I’d be willing to bet that the majority of people would say that watching football on television is more enjoyable than watching it live. — unless you have spectacular seats or [...]

7/3 - “You’re not my father!”

Ya gotta love this line.  It’s use is fairly common in both movies, and on television.  It’s usually is yelled out by a son, when a stepdad is imposing his will on him.
“You’re not my father!!!  You can’t tell me what to do.”
It’s the ultimate biting line, because the stepdad can never really come up [...]

6/30 - “Rx on TV”

There’s no shortage of things that piss me off, and seeing commercials for prescription medication is something that definitely is somewhere near the top of that list.  Perhaps this is primitive thinking, but if I am sick or have some kind of medical problem, I should see a doctor.
The doctor diagnoses, then prescribes.  Admittedly, I’m [...]

6/20 - “Um, none of us have dial-up”

I have to admit it really baffles me when I see such incredibly stupid advertising ideas.  I have no idea who you use as your Internet provider, but some companies actually BOAST about how much faster they are than dial-up services.  For some reason, as if this is 1995, they actually think some people still [...]
