With TCAs underway this week, I’ve been abuzz with all of the news about upcoming shows. Glued to our Twitter followers, I’m slowly preparing myself for tomorrow’s Fox presentations. Now, after the Winter TCA for Fox, I’m anticipating some highs and lows (the schedule has me both excited and slightly worried about how to pass some time.) But, that’s what …

Like Rueben, I managed to come back from Comic Con with some sort of malaise. But besides that, this Comic Con was a blast. Let it never be said that spending days with friends from near and far will be anything but fun. I was fortunate enough for one friend of mine from Florida to make it this year, plus …

As everyone can see, I’ve had sort of a busy week for the site, but it’s been one where I can’t really get a handle on what to post this week before I leave for Comic Con. I originally wanted to post the random bits from going to see Ruby and the Rockits, but that got side-tracked when I had …

One of my favorite parts about most events around Los Angeles centers on the fact that the creative teams stick around to talk if you show interest in what they’re talking about. Panels are great, but personal conversations add something else to the experience all together. Monday night, I went with one friend to see today’s second season premiere of …

This is the post you should have had last week, if not for my scrambled brain (the summer does horrible things to me.) Over a week and a half ago, one of my first Forum friends was in Los Angeles. One day, along with a surrogate Nice Girl J, we had lunch and started planning a trip down to San …

Yet again, it’s Wednesday night/Thursday morning, and I haven’t posted my column this week. I had every intention of posting about a trip I went on last weekend, and I’ll still save it for next week. But, life (the kind that makes for excellent fodder for a sitcom of my life) happened. This episode would be all about how I …

Early this year, one of my friends told me I needed to watch Firefly, Joss Whedon’s short-lived space cowboy odyssey. After many a delay, I sat down the other week to watch the series before attending a charity screening of Serenity, the movie after the series ended. Like many of the shows I watch on DVD, I do so fairly …

Last night, Rueben and I both attended the LA Times Envelope event for In Plain Sight. To call the event a great time might be an understatement, but I haven’t had a chance to figure that out yet. In attendance was most of this seasons cast, save for Fred Weller, Cristian de la Fuente, and Josh Molina (who according to …

If there’s one thing that we Angelinos love, it’s talking about famous people in expensive clothes. Which explains why four years ago, The Los Angeles Times started to run a site for awards season. Years later, the section, The Envelope has moved into a printed form, and the paper helps to put on events before each award season for the …

The other day, after a very draining day at work, I took a nap. Knowing full well that I needed something on in the background so I’d wake up again, I looked around my room for something to put on in the background. There’s enough television shows sitting around to easily provide white noise, but somehow I decided to put …
