BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 
WE WILL ALL GO TOGETHER WHEN WE GO

I’m not likening the end of TVWW’s 14-year run to the end of life as we knew it… Where daily newspapers and magazines were once the nexus of TV criticism, it seems fair to say this is another reminder that a torch is passing...(continued)

CHEERS TO THE CONTENT CREATORS

By now, way too many TV memories are taking up space in my mind.

TVWW AND LUCILLE BALL: TRUE ORIGINALS

There has never been a showcase for smart television criticism quite like TVWW...I may never have to get used to a world without I Love Lucy, but I can't say the same about TVWW. I'm going to have to get used to that. Sort of...(continued)
 
  
 
 
TV WORTH WATCHING GAVE US A FRONT ROW SEAT

For me, David Bianculli on "Best TV Tomorrow" was TV Worth Watching. 

It was fun streaming along, seeing if David knew what day it was, watching him build to a terrible pun. Every show ending with that Mickey Rooney grin. It was a minute or two with a friend, delivered every day to my inbox. For free!...(continued)

Hier wird nur Englisch gesprochen, du verdammter Ungläubiger!

Such dir deine eigene verdammte Website, die du verschmutzen kannst!

Herzlich,

Ich liebe es, wie mein Jesus Shirt Gespräche über den Glauben anregt und mir die Möglichkeit gibt, meine Überzeugungen zu teilen.

Ein Buddha Shirt ist ein tolles Accessoire für alle, die sich in ihrer spirituellen Praxis weiterentwickeln möchten. Es erinnert uns daran, achtsam zu sein.

Ich kann mir keinen besseren Weg vorstellen, wie Kinder mit ihrem Fussballtrikot Kinder mit Namen zu noch mehr Motivation und Begeisterung für den Sport elangen.

Always love discovering new shows through these recommendations—such a great resource for TV fans! On a totally different note, if anyone's into coffee or looking to try something new, the Dunkin' drink menu has a bunch of fun options, from cold brews to fruity refreshers.
