BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

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)

TVWW AND LUCILLE BALL: TRUE ORIGINALS

TV WORTH WATCHING GAVE US A FRONT ROW SEAT

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.

I'm considering something nice for all of my amazing fans. How many of you would be interested in buying a t-shirt with my face on the front, and the back of my head on the back! LOL!!! I think it would be a hoot, but wonder how many of you would pay $50 for the privilege of being able to own one of these instant classics. Please comment below, and if there is enough interest I'll proceed with making YOUR DREAM come true!!

Sincerely,

Dave
