A California Online Magazine with Local Focus and Global Appeal
A Ferrari 308GTS revs past scenes of ocean and tropical forest, a Detroit Tigers baseball cap, Hawaiian shirts, Higgins and “the lads”. T.C. pilots the chopper, Rick serves drinks at the King Kamehameha Club, the luxury of Robin’s Nest. For eight years, Thomas Magnum was on the case.

Damages is a TV lawyer program that features Glenn Close, John Goodman, Rose Byrne, Ted Danson and others. It is a well thought out show with great acting and top notch actors in a dark environment. The creators of this television show have gone through some considerable effort not to center this program on the courtroom and moving from case to case. Instead, Damages is focused on blackmail and depositions, in intrigue and compromise…all outside of the courtroom.

Jack Webb Memories: “Just the facts, Ma’am,” “Dum de dum dum,” and dusty hands hammering the Mark VII imprint. Those were Jack’s hands and he had them all over radio, TV and film for more than four decades.

We had the incredible honor of interviewing Amber Benson of Buffy The Vampire Slayer (she played Tara) fame about her new book, The Golden Age Of Death. We also asked her about what projects she has coming up, her new book series coming out next year, and of course a Buffy question! Amber is a sweet person and it was wonderful meeting her. Hope you enjoy this interview as much as we enjoyed doing it.

This past Christmas I finally joined the world of e-book readers and while I will always prefer a paper book I can hold, one thing I really love about e-books is that they have brought new life to some older books. The first book I read on my Kindle falls into this category–Breakfast At Madeline’s by Matt Witten. This is a delightful book published several years ago being given new life in e-books along with other books in the series.

Robert B. Parker’s Spenser had already been a success in 11 books when it came to television in 1985 with Robert Urich in the title role. Parker’s internal monologues translated well to Spenser’s voiceovers on TV, defining a classic PI style that has been envied and copied by writers ever since.

Licensed private detective, Laura Holt (Stephanie Zimbalist) opens her own detective agency only to find that clients don’t want to hire a woman. So she invents a fictitious male boss named Remington Steele. It works like a charm. That is until a former thief/con man (Pierce Brosnan) shows up and publicly assumes the identity of Remington Steele. Drama, comedy and romance ensue.

Arrow is one super hero show that so easily could be done wrong. It had to balance the realistic with the hero aspects that come with any comic book hero. Too much in either direction could kill a show. Not that it matters, because The CW has done it again.

To be human: breathing, eating, sleeping, running, laughing, crying, wanting, missing, loving, losing, talking, yelling, whispering, staying up late, long car rides, adventures, funny faces, music, movies, comfort, and life. All these things we associate with being alive and being ourselves. What if all this was taken away from you by dying and turning into a ghost, being bitten by a vampire or by a werewolf?

We’ve moved from “Tis the season” to “What is a TV season any more?” With networks introducing shows year round, the January rollouts of new offerings are identified as “Winter Premieres.” This is easily confused with what are called the “Winter Premieres” of returning shows, (ones that may have been off the air for a while – frequently heralded by daylong marathons of last season’s episodes.)

It’s the end of the year, and you know what that means: lists! Here is a list of my personal top ten for the best TV shows of the year. And man it was so hard to choose just ten; this was such a great, no fantastic, year for TV, probably the best in the last couple of years. So let’s get started from 10 to 1.
