'"The Sopranos," Baseball

June 5, 2006

The semi-season finale of "The Sopranos" on Sunday was a frustrating hour. As much as I understood what the show was doing, I wasn't crazy about the way it went about its business.
To be sure, I came to it with an increased longing for satisfaction. I watched it at about 11:30 Sunday night because the [...]

"Alias" Farewell, "Sopranos" on the Brink

May 22, 2006

I expected to get more TV watched today but ended spending more time than I expected on a column for tomorrow about "American Idol" and on items for my TV mailbag. So it was "Sopranos" this morning and "Alias" tonight.
(Possible spoilers follow.)
I liked many things about "Alias," even if there were significant amounts of the [...]

Sunday Night…

May 7, 2006

Well, I got those other two bushes out, more easily than the first one, proving that even a little experience can ease the task. (By the way, after writing this morning's post, I went to church, where the sermon was called "Spring Pruning" and the pastor had many stories about his own fun with plants. [...]

"Sopranos" and Other Tidbits (With Some More "Veronica")

April 24, 2006

I laughed — very hard — at "The Sopranos" on Sunday night. Wasn't alone, either, since this was a night in our regular "Sopranos" gatherings with co-workers, so the laughter was not mine alone. The Ben Kingsley stuff was funny enough. Mugging Lauren Bacall — one of those things where you think, oh, no, they [...]

After the Bunny Hopped…

April 17, 2006

I did not expect to go this long between posts, but the days filled themselves up — chasing down a cat to take to the vet, putting a fence back up around a flower bed, Easter morning at church, grocery shopping, giving the grill its spring inaugural. Today at work I was hip-deep in a [...]

A Little Bit of Drama

April 11, 2006

In spite of the ambition in yesterday's post, the day got away from me. I had a story about SportsTime Ohio that ended up consuming part of the day and evening; it was after 8 p.m. before I had the information I needed to write. And while I was working on that, I was trying [...]

The Expectations Game

March 18, 2006

When I finally sat down to see Wednesday's telecast of "Veronica Mars," I was ready to be dazzled. It felt as if it had been forever since there had been a new episode, and I was long past ready for one.
The episode was all right, not great. I did like the scenes with Logan, since [...]

There Are Days…

March 13, 2006

This morning I arose with the remains of my cold. My bride's attempt to fight off illness continues to be a losing battle. My morning paper told me that the company owning my newspaper is being sold. Knew that was coming. Then my e-mail basket included the news that the company buying my newspaper's company [...]

"Idol" Report Card, Late-Night Viewing

March 2, 2006

The chat with folks at the Beacon Journal on Wednesday was great fun. Let's do it again. But it was close to 10 p.m. before I got home, and viewing was backed up. The bride and I watched "Lost," and I expect to have more to say about it later today. Then I dipped into [...]

"Sopranos" Dinner, Grey Monday, Bobbleheads

February 27, 2006

I think we may have to make Monday "Grey's Anatomy" night at the House of Heldenfels, since Sunday seems to fill up with other commitments. Not that Mondays are always easy, either. It took me almost a week to get to the Feb. 18 episode of "Grey's," and last night's episode is filling a spot [...]

The official word on "The Sopranos" (for now)

August 12, 2005

Here is HBO's latest announcement that "The Sopranos" will keep going longer than anticipated — which, of course, just makes us all wonder if it could keep going beyond this.
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 11, 2005 – HBO announced today that in addition to THE SOPRANOS' upcoming sixth season, which will include 12 episodes, HBO will produce [...]
