Another weekend and another marathon of high quality vintage horror films on Turner Classic Movies; my pick this week is the 1932 film Freaks (trailer here). Tod Browning’s film Freaks offers a window into a world we seldom see these days, the carnival sideshow. Many of the actors are actual [...]
Halloween is my favorite holiday, probably because it falls only a few days after my birthday, which means I often got to have Halloween themed costume parties growing up; a pretty cool way for a kid to spend his birthday, thanks mom and dad! Each year I look forward to [...]

SUNDAY Springfield is finally fed up, and the town banishes Homer and clan as “The Simpsons” marks its 500th episode (8 p.m., Fox). (As one of the longest-running shows ever, it's a wonder the town put up with Homer and Bart this long.) Also Sunday, the 20th (!) season of [...]
While raising their broods, quintessential moms Carol Brady, Marion Cunningham and June Cleaver remained upbeat, sometimes crossing over into downright perky. But that might be owed only partially to solid maternal instincts and more to a lack of those instincts being seriously tested. I mean, was the insincere Eddie Haskell [...]
