Tonight’s episode begins with the CBI team being called to a graveyard very early in the morning where a body was found. Under normal circumstances, finding a body in a graveyard might be a normal occurrence. This body, however, was recently frozen into a pose and placed in a mausoleum naked, with a vase of [...]
The Big Bang Theory does one thing well: it tells jokes. As far as sitcoms go, this is enough to consider a show a success. The storylines are bland and unengaging, and the characters are one-dimensional silhouettes, but as long as the jokes stay bountiful, I’ll continue to tune in.
This week’s episode began with Leonard, [...]
Good morning class. Today’s lesson is marketing in the 21st Century. We all know classical marketing strategies, advertisements, branding, promotions, etc. But what are some newer strategies used to market a product? You all watched How I Met Your Mother last night for homework, so let’s use that as an example.
I’m seeing some blank faces [...]
What goes through your mind when you think of European travel? A secluded café in Paris? A walk on the streets of foggy London? A cold stein in a Berlin beer garden? A romantic boat ride down the Venetian canals? Whatever your exotic fantasy, it fits two criteria; it resembles a Price Is Right showcase, [...]
We are all the end result of a lifetime of experiences. Who we are today has been directly decided by what we’ve seen, done, and been exposed to in the past. On tonight’s episode of The Big Bang Theory, we have insight into one of the most baffling minds on television: Sheldon Cooper’s.
It’s the general [...]
Never underestimate the power of the written word. Words have the power to change the world, inspire people, and influence monumental decisions. It doesn’t matter if it’s an internationally bestselling novel, a Pulitzer Prize-winning poem or a pro-bono television article on an online entertainment magazine.
Last week in my review of How I Met Your Mother, [...]
The Big Bang Theory is usually a tightly constructed show. The nerdy heroes have one or two geeky adventures, seen through the judgmental, yet well-meaning eyes of neighbor Penny, while one or more of the nerds has an existential crisis about love life, hobby, and/or lifestyle issues. The humor begins with derisive laughter at the [...]
Throughout season five of How I Met Your Mother, protagonist and narrator Ted has been resigned mostly to the background. Occasionally plotlines about him and his new career as a professor of architecture come into focus, but by and large season five is all about the new relationship between supporting characters Barney and Robin. Tonight’s [...]
Tonight on The Amazing Race, the twelve remaining racers departed from the sweltering desert heat of Dubai for the chilly Atlantic winds of The Netherlands. All six teams departed, rushing to the airport like extras in a Godzilla movie before being brought to a screeching halt at the local airport, as the direct flights between [...]
The Amazing Race. Its name alone incites images of a grandiose adventure. It’s not just An Amazing Race, it’s The Amazing Race. A name that drives home the necessity of commitment and tenacity like a big-league slugger pumped full of steroids. The Race isn’t easy, and it is not for everyone. If you have difficulty [...]
“Mythbusters” has been one of my favorite television shows since its debut in 2003. The romanticized viewpoint of the scientific world leads everyone to believe that scientists spend their days wearing pristine white lab coats, sitting in state-of-the-art laboratories, making triumphant discoveries, further advancing the world, then going home to debate Star Trek vs Star [...]
Sony, in an effort to grab more of an audience with the Roland Emmerich/John Cusack disaster film 2012, will “roadblock” televisions with a two-minute advertising sequence from the film on October 1st.
