Tuesday Notebook

November 10, 2009

I want to try to keep this brief because I am headed to Cleveland in a couple of minutes for a screening of "Pirate Radio." …

Wednesday Notebook

November 4, 2009

I have a column about the new DVD box of 65 years of World Series highlight films here.
With Rihanna sitting down for an extended chat with Diane Sawyer, Chris Brown is taking to the airwaves as well. Here's the word from MTV:
Nothing is off limits as Chris Brown talks to MTV News to give viewers [...]

Viewing File: "HIMYM," "Big Bang Theory," "Dancing With the Stars" (Updated)

October 13, 2009

VERY fun "How I Met Your Mother" and "Big Bang Theory." The "It Was the Best Night Ever" video, above, isn't quite in the league with "Let's Go to the Mall" or "Sandcastles in the Sand," but it's still amusing. More after the jump. …

Sunday Morning Notebook

September 20, 2009

A chat with Akron's Melina Kanakaredes, star of "CSI: NY," is here. I have been talking with her for about 15 years now — since I came to Akron, and she was working on "Guiding Light" and "NYPD Blue" — and she remains among the friendliest and most accessible of celebrities.
From Saturday's print HeldenFiles, in [...]

"How I Met Your Mother": Waste of Space

May 12, 2009

I'm going to try not to talk too long about last nght's "HIMYM," since I have two columns to write at work and am trying to keep up with a couple of FB threads ("Star Trek" and Cavs-vs-Boston-or-Orlando). But the show was aw- — wait for it — …

Two comedy episodes with inspired premises (even if both were given away in the promos), but trouble with endings. …

Monday Night Recap: "Dancing With the Stars," "How I Met Your Mother," "2 1/2 Men"

April 14, 2009

I've customarily done in-progress recaps of "DWTS" as it airs, but my schedule and energy level just haven't made that possible lately. I'll show Len Goodman what hectic looks like! I did watch the show, though, and posted a brief note on Twitter and FB. Some longer notes, as well as comments on my Monday [...]

"McElroy and LeFleur"

April 1, 2009

Those guys on "How I Met Your Mother" sure know their Canadian film history. I thought I was the last diehard fan of the "McElroy and LeFleur" movies, which I have saved on VHS because those low-budget 1999 DVDs did not get the rights to Trooper's original version of the "McElroy and LeFleur" theme and [...]

"How I Met Your Mother": Going the Extra Online Mile

March 23, 2009

If you have seen tonight's new episode, which was mostly so-so, you know that Canada was once again highlighted. And if, like me, you go looking for any Web site mentioned in a scripted show, then you already know what is here. And that it is pretty funny.

"How I Met Your Mother"

March 17, 2009

 
"But, oh, what a wonderful feeling
Just to know that you are near,
Sets my a heart a-reeling
From my toes up to my ears."
– Bob Dylan, "The Man in Me"
Readers looking for "Dancing With the Stars" notes and other remarks will have to wait a bit. The bride and I went to a screening last night of [...]

Tuesday Morning Notebook

October 21, 2008

On the link, Alec Baldwin talks, a bit testily, about Sarah Palin's "Saturday Night Live" appearance. He makes a reasonable point about how you treat people when you are face to face — or when you are their TV host. It reminds me of a long-ago conversation with the notorious Morton Downey Jr. As abrasive [...]

A Little More "HIMYM": "The Bro Code"

October 14, 2008

In bookstores today is "The Bro Code" (Fireside, $13), a collection of aphorisms and life rules attributed to Barney Stimson, played so zestfully by Neil Patrick Harris on "How I Met Your Mother." As you might expect, lines that would sound good on the show do not appear so charming when decorating page after page [...]

"How I Met Your Mother" Monday

October 14, 2008

The photo, above, may be from the best part of last night's "HIMYM," with Robin not only drunk but in full Canadian hockey love. Other than that, not so great. …

"HIMYM": When You're in Love With a Jersey Girl

October 7, 2008

"How I Met Your Mother" was sort of OK for most of last night. Didn't think the Robin subplot was all that effective (until it took that turn at the end), and the New Jersey vs. New York battle kind of dragged — except for Marshall's speech. But then it turned me around with the [...]

"HIMYM": The Underwear Radius and Other Gems

September 30, 2008

I caught up with "How I Met Your Mother" and "Two and a Half Men" this morning, as I once again realized I am agonizingly behind on my viewing — and there is more and more coming down the pike. "Dancing With the Stars" alone is killing me with those two-hour telecasts — and the [...]
