Must See TV
I just read the following comment on a blog: “multi-camera-laugh-track sitcoms, long the staple of American television, need a comeback.”
Yes, that is exactly what America needs. Less shows like ‘Arrested Development’ and ‘30 Rock,’ and more shows like ‘The King of Queens’ and ‘Two and a Half Men.’

The Secret History of "Black Friday"
I wrote this last year for my old blog. I thought we could all use a reminder on the reason for the season.
