Did you ever see that Huggies Jeans diapers commercial? I wasn’t looking at the television the first time I heard it. I heard dramatic techy sort of music and then the words. The first sentence made me turn around to watch. The commercial features a little boy walking. His wardrobe is simple, he’s wearing a [...]

I remember when I was growing up when we watched the news the television personalities and anchor people on the local stations were always dressed up. Men wore suits and women wore skirts or dresses, or pants suits at the very least. Nowadays it seems the dress code for local television stations may have relaxed. [...]

The episode “The Checks” aired in 1996. After Jerry receives tons of checks from a brief appearance on a Japanese television show. They discover that the checks aren’t nearly as impressive as they might seem, since the conversion rate is low. Kramer, who’s had a hot tub installed in his apartment, takes some Japanese businessmen [...]

Hubby and I have noticed for a couple of years now that less and less original movies are coming out. What I mean is that we’re seeing more and more remakes. It’s probably a safe bet that many of the successful movies that were out fifteen to twenty years ago have been remade or are [...]

One of the shows that my son CJ never tires of is Dragon Tales. He gets excited as soon as the opening song comes on. He loves it when the extended selection of dragons on the wallpaper star start flying around the room. Then the kids are in Dragon Land. He doesn’t seem to really have [...]

Recently I’ve been seeing commercials for a payday loan service endorsed by Montel Williams. Montel touts this service as a viable way to borrow money quickly for exexpected expenses. I find this really ironic. See Montel sells a “health” product – a high end blender. My family had one. Actually several. I had one, it [...]

Laundry isn’t usually a funny topic. Many shows don’t even get into laundry. A movie that we watched this past week gives a hysterical look at a man’s first experience with laundry and it’s hysterical. The movie is Mr Mom. Mr Mom came out in 1983 and it’s just funny. One of my favorite male [...]

For the last week or two I’ve been hearing tv spots discussing a merger of Wachovia and Wells Fargo Banks. The first time I heard it I knew that I knew the spokesperson’s voice. It was the voice of Jon Cryer. Of course that seemed timely, and strangely coincidental, what with all of the Charlie [...]

Are you a J Lo fan? I mean J Lo as an actress, not a singer. I’ve seen a couple of her movies and have enjoyed the ones that I’ve seen. One movie was Maid In Manhattan, which was on again today. In Maid In Manhattan J Lo is Marisa, a relatively poor, working class [...]

I’m 44. I loved the original Star Trek series. You know, the one with William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy. I’ve probably seen every episode several times. I’ve seen the Star Trek movies. Then they were over and we were introduced to Star Trek: The Next Generation. I watched a good number of those too. I [...]
