Tonight’s “How to Make It in America” was the last I got to see in advance before I wrote my review of the series a month ago. While I still feel the show is engaging but too slight to merit any kind of episode-by-episode reviewing, I’m curious to hear from people who have stuck...

Super Bowl open thread...
As I said in this week’s podcast , I think Super Bowl commercials have been living on their reputation for years now, but if you want to talk about the ads, the anthem, or any other TV-related thing having to do with the game as it goes on tonight, have at it. View original post here: Super Bowl...
