    The death of the sitcom & a few other thoughts on TV

    Reality shows are cheap to make and easy to resell. I've never been a huge fan of sitcoms, at least not since the days of Cheers, Family Ties, Cosby etc. The writing on so many sitcoms is horrendous, it's all "set up the joke, punchline, set up the joke, punchline." Sparrow My garden...

    The Difference Between Men and Women (long)

    Hilarious. I heard a guy say once (can't remember where/when) that women need to stop making men out to be more complicated than they are, because basically guys can be boiled down to one sentence: If I'm not horny, how 'bout making me a sandwich? :P Sparrow My garden is filled with...

    p90x - should I substitute cardio?

    I always add extra cardio when doing P90x classic. I wouldn't advise cutting the yoga though, it's fabulous. I usually just add an extra 1/2 hour on the treadmill a couple of times a week. Sparrow My garden is filled with papayas and mangos My life is a mixture of reggaes and tangos...

    Do You LOVE Your Job?

    Well, I absolutely love being a writer, and the happiest I have been, work-wise, was when I was writing for television. That was a blast, getting paid well to do what I had already been doing for free. I chose it because 1) it chose me :) and 2) it's the only thing I've ever been good at and...
