Man, Woman, (Fairly) Wild
By
mattaug
I watched two episodes of Man, Woman, Wild over the weekend and found it to be fairly wild. It takes some time to suspend your belief or disbelief that a couple, including a former Special Forces survival expert and ex-TV journalist, are in imminent danger as they take on the forces of nature. If you…
Want News? Just ‘Scroll’ With It…
By
mattaug
I think sometimes I get more information on the news scroll at the bottom of the screen than I do from the news or entertainment program itself. Even on Entertainment Tonight, which I usually blow past on the dial, I learned on one simple scroll that: 1. Kirstie Alley has lost enough weight to hit…
Barry Zito: Struggling Pitcher, Heckuva’ Person
By
mattaug
It’s so easy to get disappointed with athletes and forget they are human beings too. Being brought up in the four-paper, 24-hour sports radio environment of New York I have often fallen into the trap of disliking players … often on the New York Mets … for underachieving. There are plenty of players who underachieve…
Kate Gosselin: Working ‘Regular Jobs’ Is ‘Mediocre’
By
mattaug
Perhaps she was still too upset and emotional about the end of her recently-cancelled reality series Kate Plus 8, but Kate Gosselin’s Monday morning interview on Today was quite revealing. Unfortunately for her, not in a good way as when she replied to her ex-husband Jon Gosselin being reportedly pleased about the end of the…
State Farm, Spike Lee Collaborate On Great 9-11 Ad
By
mattaug
Director Spike Lee and State Farm deserve tons of credit for teaming up on this tremendous goodwill ad for 9/11. Firefighters (and police for that matter) deserve our love, admiration and respect and this spot hits all the right notes … with props to Alicia Keyes‘ song, too.
Thoughts On 9-11…
By

It was and is nice to see all the TV programming remembering 9-11-01 and the tragic events of that day. It proves many of us have NOT forgotten that day and how awesome it is to be an American. Here are some thoughts from a conservative … me … about 9-11. While many of us…
What Happened To ‘Inside The NFL’?
By
mattaug
With the NFL season getting underway it may be interesting to think about what happened to the once-great program Inside The NFL. Oh, the weekly highlights and analysis show is still on, airing on Showtime after moving from its home of three decades, HBO. It would appear the latter made the right move in dumping…
Obama’s Jobs Speech Performance: Angry Or Effective?
By
mattaug
It’s never too late for a jobs bill, even three years into Barack Obama’s presidency. Obama himself tried to make that point, over and over, 17 times in fact, during his speech before Congress and the American people Thursday night. VP Joe Biden echoed the point the next morning on the news talk shows, not…
What Would We Do Without Universal HD Channel?
By
mattaug
What would we do without Universal HD channel? That is the question I pondered Thursday afternoon when I checked out its schedule for the evening. First there was Finding John Christmas and A Town Without Christmas, followed by episodes of TJ Hooker and Charlies Angels. Regarding the first two programs, nothing and I mean NOTHING…
Miley Cyrus or Miley Siren?
By
mattaug
Talk about having her cake and eating it too. Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus seems ashamed of the squeaky-clean image she spawned and cashed in on as star of that show. It’s a shame, and it’s a part of the bad is good, good is bad mentality that so many people have in this day…
