The West Wing
Been watching the first season of The West Wing not for the first time; re-watching just for fun and have only now come to the realization that it’s a comedy. The show sorta grinds to a halt whenever they try to get all serious about gummint. Bradley Whitford wasn’t the coolest dude on the show, no matter Read.

The War
I spend a big part of last week stretched out in the front-room recliner, a box of Kleenex close at hand, watching the hell out of Netflix as I was trying, and failing, to fight off a head cold. After days of playing with it I ought to be a Netflix expert by now, but Read.

House of Cards
On Friday night, when many of the people I knew were celebrating Valentine’s Day with dinner at a favorite restaurant or some other kind of night on the town, My Darling B and I had pizza delivered and wolfed the whole thing down while we watched House Of Cards, because nothing says romance like a Read.

SNL
Four Star Video was having a sale last weekend and we were there to browse anyway, so we spent an extra-long time wandering through the aisles, poking through the cases and reading all the labels. Well, not all of them. There’s at least a million six DVD cases in the basement alone, so I stuck Read.

not hungry
We weren’t feeling very hungry when we got home last night, so we decided to watch the latest episode of Sherlock before we sat down to dinner, but while we hung up our coats and unpacked our bags we munched a little from the bowl of cashews that was sitting on the table. Cashews are Read.

buffering
We finally got a television. And so far, we’re disappointed. Mostly because it doesn’t play internet shows like we thought it would, but first things first: We ordered a new television from Amazon last week. They didn’t deliver it by drone, so there’s the first disappointment. Coming home to a drone-delivered television set would’ve been Read.

Sherlock
There was a gaping plot hole in the weekend’s episode of Sherlock – did you spot it? Sherlock gets a tip from a self-avowed train geek that a something fishy’s going on in London’s subway system. The train geek’s daytime job is to review the security camera recordings of subway platforms, lucky bastard, and he Read.

PS3
We tried to watch the first episode of this season’s Downton Abbey last night using Amazon streaming video through a PS3. If that didn’t make any sense at all, here’s how that breaks down: First of all, yes, we’re fans of Downton Abbey. Roll your eyes all you want. We like it. Tim left us Read.

breaking bad
On the other hand, My Darling B and I binge-watched the last season of Breaking Bad this weekend, watching five episodes Friday night and finishing the rest on Saturday afternoon, and it was hugely satisfying. I can’t remember a more satisfying conclusion to a television series I’ve watched from the beginning. Not that there have Read.

Mike Road
Alas, Mike Road, who passed away this year in April. I found out about it only this morning, though, so I’m just as shaken as if it had happened yesterday. Mike Road was the voice of Roger “Race” Bannon, super-secret undercover agent and bodyguard of Dr. Benton Quest and his son, Jonny. Quest had a Read.
