The TV Season is halfway over, with pretty much every show having had it’s “fall finale.” (When did that even become a thing, anyway?) At the season’s midpoint, I’ve decided to weigh in with my unsolicited opinions on the shows I’ve been watching, in order of the night in which they air.

The Simpsons lives on!
After contract negotiations between Fox and the show’s actors and producers hit a wall and threatened to end the show, an agreement has been reached,and the show has been renewed for not just one, but TWO more seasons after this one! In other words, The Simpsons will live to see their [...]

It’s been a while since I weighed in on my thoughts on TV’s finest programming, so without further ado (or Apu, if you prefer), here are some quick thoughts on the current season through the halfway point. Beware of spoilers.

A bunch of my favorite TV shows have been renewed for new seasons – here is a quick round-up.  (Yes, some of these are old, but so what?)

Our marathon HIMYM sessions sort of got derailed with the start of the fall TV season, but here and there, we have put another season in the books.

So the wife and I are plowing through the second season of How I Met Your Mother, and as much as we love the series as a whole, one episode has stood out: “Slap Bet.” The sheer concept of a slap bet is hysterical (the winner gets to slap the loser as hard as [...]

Don’t worry, there will be more house and baby posts soon enough, but having FINALLY just watched Season 1 of How I Met Your Mother on DVD, I felt it worthy of a mention. (By the way, thanks Steve for the DVDs!)
Anyway, it’s a really funny show – why didn’t anyone tell [...]
