Beyonce: Destroyer of Super Bowls

By Chloe Wilson • February 4, 2013

Okay, so she wasn't actually responsible for last night's power outage, but nobody can deny that Queen B absolutely killed it last night. As somebody who loves television - but not sports - I was excited about two things last night: the commercials and Beyonce's halftime performance.

The Extra Point is back with a Super Bowl prediction

By Andrew Kristy • February 1, 2013

Haven't blogged in a while and, honestly, I've missed this venting space. Tons of things happened in the sporting world while I was gone. People realized cycling is synonymous with drugs; people realized it's hard to date a significant other if you've never met; and people realized that maybe they need to start looking at…

For anyone who watches "New Girl" but didn't catch last night's episode, I recommend you stop reading here.  Spoilers ahead!

Happy Pilot Season!

By Chloe Wilson • January 24, 2013

As much as I love the holidays (which I talked about in my last blog post), pilot season is definitely the most wonderful time of the year. Pilot season — which, in the television industry, comes right after development season — is when broadcast networks have chosen scripts to make into actual episodes. This is…

No good deals with Sandy aid

By Rachael Hartford • January 24, 2013

Even before it ignored the Hurricane Sandy Aid Bill and headed home fore the December holidays, the 112th Congress was the most ineffective session in history. After scrapping a vote on the larger $60 billion Sandy aid package earlier this month, House Speaker John Boehner was excoriated into holding a vote in this new session…
