    Dog Steals Heart

    I was going to write a ponderous lot of waffle today, wondering inarticulately if The Office, Parks & Recreation, Brooklyn 99, and The Good Place all share a fictional universe. Would it be called the Schurniverse? And then I saw this. That’s a clip from One Tree Hill, a show I have never seen, created…

    Sitcom Reunions

    With the misleading news that the cast of Friends are reuniting for a new episode (they’re not, it’s just the actors sitting on a stage and talking), what better time to look at a few other US sitcom reunions? At least Seinfeld did theirs in a unique and interesting way – using a season of…

    A Fish In The Percolator

    I have finally started watching Twin Peaks for the first time. I bought it a few years ago when the definitive edition came out on DVD (no longer definitive, thanks a lot new season), and never got round to watching it. I have no idea why I didn’t watch it when it first aired either.…

It aired on NBC from September of 1996 to December the following year. It arrived with much fanfare. While I don’t…

    Proctology: A Bottom Examination

    For a long time now I’ve been wanting to write an old-fashioned programme guide. One you can hold in your hand and thumb through, make notes on, spill coffee on. So I did. Proctology: A Bottom Examination is my deep dive into Bottom, the hit BBC Two sitcom starring Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson. That’s…

    Re-Casting Keanu

    Keanu Reeves is 56. That makes him eight years older than Clive Dunn was when he was first cast in Dad’s Army. But don’t panic, Clive Dunn was always playing much older characters than his own age. Keanu Reeves is 56. That makes him seven years older than Stephanie Cole was when she was first…
