Tonight, flipping through my channels, I came across this listing:
Cast your mind to The Road Warrior. Who comes immediately to mind?
I know, I know. It's these two guys, right?
It must be, because they're the ones listed first. Last billing goes to this unknown actor, Melvin Something-or-other…
What ever became of him, anyways?
…again.
A friend of mine told me about Carnivàle when it was originally on TV. I don't get HBO, though, and I wasn't interested in getting hooked on episodic TV either (which worked out well, aside from a slight Battlestar Galactica addiction).
But the first season was on sale at Wal*Mart the other month, for like [...]

So we watched Test the Nation last night. I did the test online, and came up with an IQ of 121. Then we did it on TV, and I ended up with 137. I think the 121 is probably more honest—some of the questions were easier the second time around, since I [...]
So I watched part of the Oscars last night. I also played a video game during part of them, with the TV on in the background. While I was playing my game, I heard someone say that the Oscars had "gone green" this year. And I thought, Does that mean everybody walked [...]
