Good TV is sometimes tough to find to begin with these days, especially when it comes to discerning geeks like us who tend to be a little picky about what we want to watch. But every so often comes a series that speaks to us that actually isn’t on a major channel.
One of these is [...]

The holiday season is upon us, and with it, the requisite holiday stress. Still, there’s nothing like a good song and a feelgood moment to warm the heart, however briefly. And there’s no other show that does that quite as well right now as Glee.

The main reason, however, was a sense of an uncomfortable feeling that stemmed from seeing characters who were not considered [...]

So, just because this blog is certainly positive, doesn’t mean that my positive crystal ball always comes out right.

So while I’ve come down with a case of the geek plague, I’ve done more than just play around with my iPod touch and my laptop in bed. I’ve finally caught up with the bevy of DVR stuff I’ve managed to program into the hard drive of my little cable box. One of the series [...]
