A Quick Review of True Detective Season 2

Richard Cummings

Most people were compelled to watch True Detective Season 2 because they salivated for each episode of season 1.

Richard Cummings

In the final episode of The Bachelor, Chris Soules got down on one knee and proposed to Whitney Bischoff, the fertility clinician from Chicago.

The other contestant of course was Becca. Not having very much experience in love, she didn’t realize what Chris needed–the assurance of love and someone willing to be his wife.

On the Iowa farm.

The Season Finale of Two and a Half Men & Chuck Lorre’s Obession

Richard Cummings

Two and a Half Men has been one of my favorite shows since it first aired on September 22, 2003.

The finale, which just took place Thursday, brought together all that was great about the show and provided a stellar ending to the series…except for the very last scene which involved Chuck Lorre’s continuing obsession with Charlie Sheen.

John Stewart Leaves the Daily Show

Jon Stewart Retires from The Daily Show!

Richard Cummings

After 17 years as the host of The Daily Show, Jon Stewart has announced his retirement which will take place sometime at the end of this year.

Jon Stewart was one of the few independent, non-corporate sponsored voices remaining on television. Apparently, the show will go on without him but his replacement has a lot to live up to.

I know that I, and the millions who watch Jon everyday, will have a 1/2 void each day for years to come. Jon, you will be sorely missed.

Thank you for 17 years of making sense of it all through your nonsensical, insightul lens!

The Bachelor Episode 5 Pseudo Award Ceremony

Kelsey on The Bachelor

The Shameless Widow

Bachelor Episode 5 Award 1

The Shameless Widow Award

Oh, that sounds harsh as the show ended with Kelsey having a panic attack. However, bear in mind, from the first episode of The Bachelor, I was rooting for Kelsey because of her situation. However, as the show has progressed, she’s oddly celebrating, and using, her widow status to claim a higher moral ground and manipulate Chris.

Superbowl 49 Review: Was the final play unthinkable & will the Seahawks ever be the same?

Superbowl Ends with Interception

Seahawks Superbowl Victory Intercepted

The Seattle Seahawks lost it all by doing the unthinkable: running a pass play when they have the league’s best in Marshawn Lynch to deliver the game winning touchdown. But, was it so unthinkable?

It’s now the morning after. I confess…I have not watched one iota of Superbowl coverage following the game, the interception, and possibly the end of the dynasty that wasn’t.Read More
