From Valentine’s to Galentine’s: The Ultimate Parks and Rec Watch List
Parks and Recreation has a special place in my heart for its cosy, warm storylines, cast and ingenuity regarding holidays.

The Golden Girls: Picture It — Miami, Valentine’s Day…
Syndicated TV shows come and go, but The Golden Girls remain. I don’t think a show like this could ever be made again…certainly not by the same name. The Girls were in their 60s, and these days, no one in their 60s wants to be thought of as “golden”…at least, no one I know. I […] More

in SeriesCommunity and the Love of Storytelling
Dan Harmon’s Community is a revel of nerdom. It began as a sitcom about six classmates in a community college Spanish class, and it became so much more. Over six seasons viewers were gifted with a stream of gloriously indulgent pop culture homages, quilted together into what might be described as a genre-of-the-week format. The […] More
