What Would ‘The Good Wife’ Do?

Posted October 7th @ 9:04 am by Nathan Bierma

The Good Wife, a new weekly drama on CBS, reacts to the one question everybody asks whenever there’s a press conference for a politician disgraced by a sex scandal, and his wife stands supportively next to him: what’s she doing there? Why isn’t she following Carrie Underwood’s advice and taking a Louisville Slugger to his [...]

Letterman’s Confession

Posted October 5th @ 9:10 am by Steven Koster

What to make of Letterman? I find myself conflicted.
On his Late Show program Thursday night, David Letterman relayed the true story of a blackmail attempt against  him for $2 Million, starting about three weeks ago. Letterman’s response was both to have the extortioner arrested and, presumably to pull the teeth out of any future threats, [...]

‘Wipeout,’ spectacles, and the image of God

Posted July 22nd @ 7:00 am by Nathan Bierma

On Wednesday nights I open up TiVo and exclaim with relief, “Oh good, it’s ‘Wipeout’ night!” ‘Wipeout’ relies on the least complex reality TV premise I know of: people fall off jumbo toys and go splash in the water. The obstacles on this freak obstacle course range from the benign (the Big Balls) to the [...]

Magnificent God on Letterman

Posted March 9th @ 2:08 pm by Steven Koster

Is anyone else amazed at what U2 can get away with?
The band has a new album out and appeared on David Letterman every night last week. On Tuesday, they played a song called “Magnificent” which reads like Old Testament Psalm:
Magnificent!
Magnificent!
I was born, I was born to be with you
In this Space and Time,
after that, the [...]

Why I Got Rid of My DVR

Posted January 8th @ 10:54 am by Mary Hulst

I’ve made a bold choice for this New Year.  I’ve decided to give up my DVR.
A DVR is a Digital Video Recorder.  It allows you to pause, rewind, and record TV shows with alarming ease.  For me, this meant I could start a program, pause it, go get a cup of tea and a cookie, [...]

Oh, and you get to pick your price.
It’s just crazy enough to work.
