It’s Always Sunny Even When You Find a Dumpster Baby

Personally I Don’t Need It, But A Lot Of Folks on TV Require Redemption

She’s Not Heavy, She’s Ugly Betty
Watching an entire television season (23 episodes) over the course of three days can be an interesting experience. Getting to see so many episodes in such a short time gives a different view of the season than watching the same… Read More ›
My War, Your War, Foyle’s War: Set 4
For some reason that remains unclear to me, nobody does period drama on television like the British. Recently released to DVD, Foyle's War: Set 4 proves to be no exception. The series, which takes place during World War II, follows… Read More ›
