Who’s A Cooler Mayor: Tommy Carcetti or Michael Nutter?

March 4th, 2008 · 2 Comments

That’s an unfair question since one of those guys isn’t real. But, Mayor Nutter knows how to keep it real - he’s such a big fan of HBO’s The Wire (AKA - the best television show evar!) that he’s arranged for a special network-sanctioned screening of the series finale at City Hall on Sunday night.

Bloated Philly Government Agency That Nobody Likes Gets Television Spotlight

December 11th, 2007 · No Comments

This is kind of insane.  Yesterday, A&E announced the Jan. 8 premiere of Parking Wars a 20-episode series that looks at the men and women who, depending on your point of view, either help keep our streets clear or make our lives miserable -  the ticket-writers, booters and tow-truck drivers of the Philadelphia Parking Authority.

David Simon of ‘The Wire’ (aka - the best show on television) Keeps It Real in the New Yorker

October 25th, 2007 · No Comments

HBO’s series The Wire really is the best show on television. The final episode of season four was absolutely heart breaking. I can’t wait for the last season to start. This week the New Yorker has a great profile on the producer, writer and creator of the show, David Simon.

I Can Barely See the Road, From the Heat Comin’ Off…

October 3rd, 2007 · 2 Comments

Oh man! I’m seeing Van Halen in South Philly tonight. I haven’t seen them since 1988 and I’ve never seen them with Diamond Dave singing. Don’t tell me that you are too punk rock or whatever for the mighty VH. To bastardize a quote from my main man Damone “Can you honestly tell […]

I’ll take Villanova Punx for $800, Alex

September 20th, 2007 · 4 Comments

Jeopardy is probably my favorite TV show. Last night while watching the show I was amused to note that one of the contestants was sporting the early to mid 90’s emo/indierocker look. She had on these cat eye glasses and she looked like, well, she looked like she’d just gotten back from the More Than […]

Lebanon’s Drug Valley

September 20th, 2007 · No Comments

Here’s some more self-promotion with three new episodes on Lebanon, via VBS. This three-part series is about drugs and Hezbollah, with some gypsies, a disgusting camel (seriously one of the more traumatizing things I’ve ever had to edit) and a blown up bridge for good measure.

Hey, Is That A Geoduck In Your Pocket Or Are You Just Happy To Sashimi?

August 28th, 2007 · 13 Comments

So last week I was discussing a particular Anthony Bourdain episode of No Reservations with a friend. It was the one where he visits the Pacific Northwest and discovers food-inspired tattoos, geoducks and…maple-bacon doughnuts. Yes, maple-bacon doughnuts, but this is not what I want to share with you my friends. I introduce to you nature’s […]
