the final(e) showdown

On a personal level as someone who highly enjoys not having human, face-to-face contact with people for work, shows like Parks and Recreation give me the creeps. How can these people who were just hired at the same place go on to actually care about one Read More

Everybody's working for the weekend! At least that's what we'll partly see this month as we take a look at some of the most prominent workplace series in television history. From Scranton to Pawnee to Brooklyn, all of these places and more housed Read More

I wanted to end this month with one that can take anyone back to those nights at the end of a grueling school week, a show that has continued to bring joy all these years later, a show that, like Boy Meets World, continued on with a new chapter — none Read More

Really though, this show is on YouTube but not Step by Step? For shame, people who upload things for people like me. So instead of the Foster-Lamberts we go back to one of the earlier shows of the T.G.I.F lineup, Dinosaurs — a family comedy set long ago Read More

These are always more fun and interesting to write when you go in cold. This week it's burning hot. Boy Meets World isn’t just a show I looked forward to every Friday night, it’s a show I will still watch the hell out of today if I see that it’s on. One Read More

Welcome to the month celebrating what most of us '90s kids can agree was the perfect bookend to our week dealing with homework, being "it" at recess, and all the other drama that came with being a kid then — T.G.I.F. Other than the idea of Saturday Read More

Wrapping up this month of classic television is Family Ties. It gave us the opposite of what we were used to. Instead of cookie cutter parents who were hard on their kids, we got a little Republican in Alex P. Keaton who was a world away from his Read More

For a show that spawned Frasier, you’d think their finale would’ve been constructed a little better. Three parts? Why did it need to be an hour and a half that night? I finally took the plunge and walked into this place where everyone knows your name, Read More

Still freaking out over the fact that the Cheers finale is an hour and a half, I had to go with the show’s spin-off this week. So I dove into Frasier. I’d never seen an episode but I will admit that as of right now, it’s possibly the second best series Read More

The Conners wrapped up a month dedicated to shows revolving around families that on TV are great, but in real life would be a major pain (for most). We’re moving past that and into a new realm. Not generic families, oh no — we’re all about the classic Read More

Suburbia has always frightened me. Houses that mirror one another, fake smiles and salutations from neighbors, and homeowner's associations? I’d rather live in the ghettos. This month has covered the anti-suburban mindset of television — shows that Read More

We’ve had crude and rude families this month, and even some that wouldn’t think twice about making shifty neighbors swim with the fishes. This week's show features a family that could be paid based on the mere volume of their mother’s incessant yelling. Read More
