It’s time to discuss a painful but increasingly undeniable reality that I’ve come across during my hours of watching television lately.  So brace yourself, because what I’m about to say may offend, confuse or enrage you. The British make better TV shows than we do. Don’t get me wrong.  I’m as patriotic as they come. …

If you were one of the tens of millions of people to watch the televised NFL championship game known as the Super Bowl, you no doubt were witness to one of the weirdest annual American spectacles.  No, I’m not referring to Madonna trying to convince the world (and herself) that she’s still somehow relevant, but…

White Collar is a TV show.  It is, for the most part, predictable and formulaic.  It is also unlikely and implausible.  The Popfilter Podcast guys hate it, and probably for these exact reasons.  I, however, LOVE it.

Have you noticed anything missing from TV lately?  Think hard.  What used to be around all the time that is now increasingly tougher to find?  It’s simple – we’re running out of heroes. Amazing, isn’t it?  We have hundreds of channels, probably thousands of shows and the old-fashioned good guy — a strong, brave soul…

Anyone else fucking IN the holiday mood?! As I sit and write this article- my brain is swarming with outrageous amounts of cheer! OK… you caught me; I’ve been sitting at an airport bar this morning downing bloody marys for breakfast. But most of the world, along with me, has a nice long three or…

Well, it’s that time of year again.  Surely, this can’t come as a surprise to you.  If you’re anything like me (and if you’re reading this, you probably are) you’ve no doubt been bombarded against your will with the incessant sounds of Christmas music for the better part of two months now.  From everywhere to…
