Television taping Have you ever been in the audience for the taping of a TV show? I went to Los Angeles one year for a convention and was in the audience for a taping of “Dave’s World” starring Harry Anderson. It ran on CBS in the mid nineties.

I grew up watching a television version of Ghostbusters There appeared this VHS one morning on the bookshelf in my living room. Apparently my parents recorded it the night before. I was prohibited from watching Ghostbusters. I was 4 when it came out and I think 8 when it was played in class and I was pulled from the room. So when I finally saw it, the commercials were part of my Ghostbusting experien…

Coolest Lawman in Television. This may have been asked previously, but who is the coolest lawman in television. I’m not 100% sure, but for me it’s Columbo or Raylan Givens.

They…

Who are the most clueless parents in Television? I’m on season 2 of Ragnarok and Magne and Laurits mom is a bit clueless. I find it funny all the changes that are happening to them plus the exploding lights and Turid doesn’t suspect anything. Similarly Joyce Summer took two seasons (and a full on attack by Vampires ) to find out Buffy was the slayer. But curious what others think was the mos…

Best underrated television show. There have been a bunch of underrated television shows that have been completely overlooked by the critics and public at large. Some have puttered along anyway before ending well regardless. I am not talking about shows that get cancelled after the first season.

Romance in television I’m going to be featuring some spoilers for Good Omens in this post, so if you haven’t seen it, avert your gaze.

Banshee is the John wick of Television. The Original most underrated show ever. With all the obsession with warrior lately, I thought we should appreciate the show’s big brother. The John wick of TV, sheriff Lucas hood. One of the best tv shows in terms of action with an amazing story. I love warrior but I can’t get into it since it’s not set in modern times. Banshee on the other hand…
