Shake Your Bon-Bon, shake your bon….bwhhaatt??
Courtesy of Rolling Stone I think there’s plenty to be said for coming out. The more public we are (ixnay on the P.D.A…. that goes for everyone though) the more “normal” it becomes and the less scary it becomes for people who “don’t understand.” It was empowering when I came out, not because I suddenly…

>Everyone’s Favorite Game: "Creative Team or Cuckoo Pants?"
> I’m not going to go into WHY Elinor Burket went nuts on the Oscars last night but I am going to offer up a new game for all of us to play: Creative Team or Cuckoo Pants! There are no rules really… you just have to pick someone on a creative team (i.e. your favorite Broadway…

I wish Samantha Stephens was my neighbor
There’s a marathon of Bewitched on TVLand today. This is the way to come home after a visit to the gym and the grocery store. Does anyone not enjoy the innocent magic that happens in the Stephens’ home? Well, maybe Gladys Kravitz, but that’s what you get for being a snoop. Bewitched was so much more than…

The Gym vs. Roseanne
Lying on the couch today I was thrilled to fall into a Roseanne marathon on Oxygen (the other Lifetime). I missed a lot of Roseanne when it was on originally, seeing the first few seasons but then losing track of it as the family grew and eventually won the lottery (did you see that final season… what?)…

Tony Awards 2009 Recap – The Most Fun Moments of the Night
This weekend’s telecast of the 2009 Tony Awards® was more fun than a box of Slinkys® but not for all the right reasons (being brilliance, make-me-jump-on-the-phone-to-Telecharge, yada yada yada). Let’s run through these (in no particular order): Brett Michaels’ train wreck collision into the drop. The genius that he is, he took too long enjoying…

>Waitin’ for the day your ship’ll come in…
>They’re heeeerreee! I can hardly contain my excitement. Last week, Violet Newstead, Judy Bernly and Doralee Rhodes stepped out of the office and onto the Great White Way. 9 to 5 is now a Broadway musical. Couldn’t you just pass out from the giddiness? This movie is one of my all-time childhood favs. Could I,…

>Finally! Yeesh. -OR- Do Critics Have This Much Power?
>Yes, finally, a new post. How did I let this go for nearly two months? Who knows. Life gets busy, you prioritize and then remember… CRAP… I have a blog. My bad. Anyhow, back to the basics. There has been a lot of debate the last year asking for an answer to the following: Do…

Holy Christmas Batman!
This Christmas was full of excitement, magic and… unfortunately… a few passings. The magic began when we braved the crazies and went to Macy’s to check out Santa Claus. No, none of us hopped up on his jolly little lap, but we did walk through his winter wonderland, sneak a peak, and get a jazzy…

About damned time! Bea inducted!!
Bea Arthur (love her… no seriously, love her dammit) is being inducted into the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences’ Hall of Fame! The AHall of Fame Committee also selected Dan Burke, Larry Gelbart, Merv Griffin, Tom Murphy and Sherwood Schwartz. But Bea is by far the most significant (for me). I grew up on…
