Those who were privileged to be children during the Disney Renaissance know all too well that they got the cream of the crop when it came to animation. From the characters all being distinct in their own way (void of those ‘Tangled’ bug eyes) to the way the music was more timeless than made for... Continue Reading →

The Sitcom Crush in Seattle
Television in the ‘80s and ‘90s set a new standard when it came to the sitcom. It’s like studios took everything that worked with the classics and just amped it up a bit. The comedy was more irreverent, the characters a bit more sassier, and networks like Fox were pushing every boundary and button, which... Continue Reading →

The same goes for the increase in violence and political mayhem. Alas,... Continue Reading →

It’s Always a Nice Guy Crush
Every TV fan has at least one show they love with every fiber in their body but feels an extra level of attachment to it for one reason or another.
