I'm really going to put my head in the lion's mouth this time.

Before I begin, allow me to preface my idealistic whining with this: I know campaigns are rough. I know that candidates volunteer to have themselves go through the things that I am going to later refer...

The primary reason I started watching Bones earlier this year was, well, the primaries. I was really sick of the rancor, the bitterness, the nastiness, so I turned to fiction. And I was fortunate enough to find escapism in a really excellent show. Now that we have two presidential candidates...

If you don't watch "Bones" on Fox, this entire article will go over your head. So I suggest you start watching tonight at 8:00 EST when the show goes to London for its 2-hour season premiere! (No, they're not paying me. I just like the show a whole bunch.)

I would never claim to be an expert in anything, but I can definitely say I am not a complete and total moron. (Despite what you may read in the comments sections of some past blogs of mine.) But I was rather insulted -- and many people should be --...

The evening of May 19th of this year was not an ordinary one for me. I had been spending the day gearing up to watch the season finale of Fox's "Bones." Not only that, I had written my second article about the show, all about the spoilers that were...

I did not have the privilege of knowing Tim Russert. I don't even work in media, let alone NBC News. I'm nobody. Just a faithful viewer of Meet the Press, NBC News, and MSNBC. I just depended on my coffee with Mr. Russert every Sunday morning.

Tim Russert was...

Hart Hanson shot my puppy.

I'm referring to the creator of Fox's Bones, and that is precisely how I and many Bones fans are feeling after last week's season finale. (If you have not seen it and don't want it spoiled, please stop reading.)

It's been called the...

Bones actor Eric Millegan has a secret. If he tells anyone about it, it could put his career at risk.

He knows what's going to happen on the Bones finale tonight, which has promised to be a real shocker. For anyone who has been following the show (like...

To be perfectly clear, I am in no way saying that American Idol is a blameless, holy creature that should be immune to criticism and jokes at its expense. Anyone involved in the show can easily provide fodder for days, only to refresh their invitation the following week. And if...

I was enjoying an uncharacteristically smooth commute this morning on the Southern State Parkway on Long Island. It turns out that it's spring break for a lot of schools. Yay for me!

Then it was interrupted by one of the most ridonkulous, inconceivably hypocritical things I have ever heard....

The past couple of weeks have seen the return of new episodes for several shows since the WGA strike ended. It goes without saying (even though I'm going to say it...and here I go) that despite missing our favorite shows, the writers deserved a fair contract, and we're thrilled...

I'm not afraid to say something unpopular. Neither is now former MSNBC host Tucker Carlson. That is why I will miss him, however happier I may be to see him in his new campaign correspondent role on the same network.

Beyond the obvious disagreements I have with...

You know they're going to come, and lots of people are going to talk about it. The current governor of New York, Eliot Spitzer, who ran on change, good ethics, and taking back Albany from the state GOP, is reportedly tied to a prostitution ring. It's early yet, and...

Between the Super Bowl and Super Tuesday, it has been a humdinger of a week for TV news. For those of us who follow both football and politics, it has been gut-wrenching in either fantastic or heartbreaking ways. But in this whirligig of a political...

I have never once had a reason to "celebrate" Valentine's Day as a romantic participant. However, last week, the day after Valentine's Day, I watched the previous night's rerun of "The Daily Show" and caught MSNBC's Joe Scarborough giving dating advice to TDS correspondent Jason Jones on how to...

The last time I wrote about Dan Abrams, I recalled his coverage of the OJ Simpson trial over a decade ago. Ironically enough, OJ seems to have risen from his murky depths just as the network Abrams is running has reached a crossroad. After the midterm election coverage,...

MSNBC's Keith Olbermann reminded us why it is so great to be an American. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's insulting rhetoric reminded us why we are allowed to disagree with the government. Being a great American means having the freedom to question our leaders and hold them accountable. While...

The complainant speaks: Monday night, former UN Ambassador Joe Wilson appeared on MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann (Video via MSNBC.com) to tell his side of the story after filing last week's lawsuit against Vice President Dick Cheney, his former chief of staff Scooter Libby and presidential "Turd Blossom"...

Dan said his goodbyes on his show, "The Abrams Report" this evening, mostly thanking his fans for supporting his show and thanking his entire staff and crew. As he departs, I, one of Dan Abrams' biggest fans and his unofficial head cheerleader, would like to talk about why I...

There is a disturbing lack of trust in the media, the very creation of our ancestors at the birth of our country that was designed to keep our leaders in check and our fellow citizens informed. The press was honored in the Constitution's Bill of Rights, in the very...
