SIX OF THE BEST... Brooklyn Nine-Nine cold opens

I miss Brooklyn Nine-Nine. It’s been off the air since the fall finale, and it’s supposed to come back at some point in the spring (judging from previous seasons), but that’s too long. In these days of instant gratification from Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon, taking months between...

SIX OF THE WORST... things about Android Auto

I had to replace my car last year, and one of the things I was excited about was that I could get one with Android Auto. (I don’t have an iPhone, but if I did, I would have tried to get one with Apple Carplay.) I was really looking forward to not having to peer at my phone all the time...

SIX OF THE BEST... Tenth Doctor episodes

It’s finally happened. After years and years and years of resistance, I’ve started watching Doctor Who. It’s good. It’s not the best show ever in the whole universe, but it’s good. What they do in terms of tension and dread with what (in the beginning of the 2005...

SIX OF THE BEST... deep cuts I forgot I thumbs'd up

There are a lot of things I’ve never done. I’ve never bungee jumped. I’ve never skydived. Skydove? Whatever. And I’ve never said “live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!” Until last week, I’d also never gone through and listened to all the songs I...

SIX OF THE BEST... ways you could make my stay more comfortable

I’ve stayed at a lot of hotels over the past two years, and one thing they all have in common is that, at check-in, someone says something along the lines of “if there’s any way I can make your stay more comfortable, don’t hesitate to let me know.” Well, I assure...

SIX OF THE WORST... things about recipe websites

Recently, my wife and I were discussing what we could do to update our menu. We tend to cook the same things, week-in and week-out. But there’s a reason for that. Well, actually, there are two. The first is that my wife has some issues with spicy foods, as well as certain tastes. Some...

SIX OF THE BEST... annoying conspiracies no one is talking about

We throw around the word “conspiracy” far too much these days. We say that everything is a conspiracy (or, worse, a “gate”). And, I mean, given what the Russians are doing to manipulate the American power structure, maybe everything is a conspiracy. I’m sure all of...

SIX OF THE BEST... expensive things I refuse to spend money on

I’m willing to bet that each and every one of us has something expensive that they save up for and purchase, and are proud of or happy about. I get that; I really do. But what I don’t always get is the reasoning behind some of these choices, and with that in mind, here are six of the...

SIX OF THE BEST... movie sequels in 2017, revisited

I was checking my Facebook “On This Day” page this morning* and a link to my best projected sequels of 2017 column came up. For funsies, I re-read it, and as it turns out I did actually see all six sequels. So let’s revisit that column; it’s time for me to rank six of the...

SIX OF THE WORST... episodes of The Orville

For the most part, even when The Orville is bad, it’s still pretty good. I actually enjoyed a lot about these episodes, which qualify as (in my opinion) six of the worst episodes of the show — mostly just because they weren’t as good as my six favorites. As with the previous...

SIX OF THE BEST... episodes of The Orville

I’m not a huge Doctor Who fan (although I appreciate the show when I see it), but one thing I do envy them is the Christmas specials. The season ends, and there’s nothing for a while, and then wham!, here’s an extra episode that is usually pretty good and also fits into the...

SIX OF THE BEST... ways to improve customer service in medicine

As you may or may not know, both my wife and I have had surgery in the past couple of months. Both were outpatient procedures, and we’re both fine. And for the most part our actual experiences at the surgery centers were okay — the staff was pleasant and did their best to put us at...

SIX OF THE BEST... streaming originals I watched this year

With the advent of streaming services, and the increasing budgets that are going toward original content for them, I’ve found myself watching more and more shows that just don’t exist on traditional TV. Usually because there’s too much swearing and violence, but there are other...

SIX OF THE WORST... Star Trek: the Next Generation episodes so bad that I couldn't let my daughter watch them

Star Trek: The Next Generation was, in general, a really good show. However, there were a few episodes that I just cannot condone showing to my daughter. Here’s six of the worst of them. He’s a role model. 6. “Manhunt”, “Man of the People”,...

SIX OF THE BEST... Star Trek: The Next Generation season seven episodes, according to my daughter

My daughter and I recently finished watching Star Trek: The Next Generation (my wife joined us for a good chunk of it too), and I figured I would squeeze a couple of columns out of that. Unfortunately, eleven-year-olds sometimes can’t recall as much as we’d like, so I limited it just...

SIX OF THE BEST... changes my wife thinks the NFL should make to their rules

I’m a huge NFL fan (although it gets harder every day with all the crap going on in and out of the league). My wife wasn’t, at first — still isn’t, as a matter of fact. But after getting her into a fantasy football league, she has developed an appreciation for some...

SIX OF THE BEST... ways to support your writer friends when they publish a new book

We’re now two days out from the release of my new novel, After the Apocalypse. I’m pretty excited about it. I’ve been working on it for six years — well, actually, I had it done in 2012, and have been trying to sell it for that long. When it became clear that publishers...
