Way, way back when I thought that one day (today) I’d be a famous pundit, I looked forward to locking horns with right-wingers like Tony Snow. His end-of-show commentaries on “Fox News Sunday” never failed to make my teeth grit and shout obscenities at the screen. I looked forward to him one day attacking me by name, seeing […]
I like “NOVAScienceNOW,” even though I’m not hosting it. Believe me, that’s high praise. It’s clear we’re in the Golden Age of the Magazine—the BROADCAST magazine. I’m happy that I can listen to three national Black(ish) radio newsmagazines in a week, watch the NOVA spinoff show every summer and check out what the brother’s doing on […]
Okay. A work of satire. I get it. Confront the enemy directly, blah, blah, blah…….. But boy, some folks are really upset! I got a relative who wants to [CENSORED] The New Yorker building!
The news media pretend it’s hard to tell a deliberate slam from a sham these days. For instance, The Reverend Nutslicer. Does […]
…..so I’ll leave it to the audience as to whether this episode of “Click & Clack’s As The Wrench Turns,” the new “Car Talk” animated series I saw over the weekend, is borderline racist. I know that if I was from India I’d be getting tired of this kind of thing. And what’s up with […]
………there’s NOTHING like when ALL your favorite shows cross-over, especially for the first time EVER! In this case, “Torchwood” and “The Sarah Jane Adventures,” with (storylines from all four seasons!) of the revived “Doctor Who!” WOO-WOO!
Attractive couple, huh?
The duo are the “Today” show’s new wedding couple. LaDonna and Darnell won the contest to have their wedding on the show.
I was home, so I checked it out. It was a bit weird to see network morning hosts covering a wedding. The couple didn’t even get a chance to hug family members; immediately after […]
The kind of conversation I love. The artist talks about his life and his art. Damn.
“America was founded by slave owners who wanted to be free.”

Okay, it’s official: “Bill Moyers Journal” is my favorite honorary Black public affairs program. If Tony Brown wasn’t semi-retired, I guess he’d be worried! LOL!
The new biography of Jack Kirby really isn’t that; it’s an authorized, more-polite-than-it-should-be version of his life used as an excuse to showcase his great art. And thank God for it.
Jack Kirby is responsible for two-thirds of every childhood smile I ever made. Period. The Fantastic Four. The Silver Surfer. The Incredible Hulk. The Mighty Thor. The […]
…..the families of Harvey Korman, who I will always think of first as The Great Gazoo, and second as that hysterically funny man on “The Carol Burnett Show”
and to Tim Russert.
When Russert first took over “Meet The Press,” I wasn’t very excited. He seemed to turn a serious, sober news program that used to feature […]
