If it was a Friday night- or later on, a Tuesday- between the years of 1987 and 1995, you knew where you were. Sitting on your couch, staring at the Tanner family’s blue plaid couch. Full House was that unicorn of a show which transcended demographic, because we all loved it. We were all of us Tanners. Which is pretty crazy, if you think about it. I didn’t have a whole heck of a lot in common with Danny, Jesse, {Read More}

Netflix & why you should be watching the newest “Degrassi”
February 5, 2016 By Leave a Comment
You know Degrassi. I know you know Degrassi. Either you- or your babysitter- watched those independent Kids of Degrassi Street from ’79 to ’86. This was followed up by the groundbreaking series Degrassi Junior High which, from 1987 to 1989, followed a fictitious Canadian school and the all-too-real issues of its student body. Teenage pregnancy? Racism? Divorce? Nothing was off-limits- to the shock of the teenaged viewing audience and occasional dismay of their viewing parents. After junior high, logically, comes {Read More}
TCA 2016 highlights, Netflix greatness, and a Fuller House selfie.

Even though I’m devoted to Netflix foreverandeveramen as a member of their Stream Team- and this was a Netflix-sponsored trip- all thoughts, opinions, and fangirling moments are entirely my own. *** Not gonna lie, 2016 started off with a bang. More specifically, it started off with Netflix sending me to California to attend the TCA (Television Critics Association) conference for what I’m terming Netflix’s Day of Incredible Programming and My Subsequent Gushing, Seriously, This Is My Job Today? I love you, {Read More}

As part of Netflix’s Stream Team, I get to bring you the scoop each month on the newest, brightest, biggest, and late-nightest of their exceptional programming. Stay tuned for next week’s recap of my recent trip to Los Angeles…because I’ve got deets about Fuller House, Degrassi, Daredevil, and that time I ate a weirdly big sandwich in front of Ashton Kutcher. *** It’s a new year, people. (It’s actually almost a new month, people, but 2016 is gonna be all {Read More}

Disclaimer: As a member of Netflix’s Stream Team, I get provided all manner of awesome love and compensation- but all thoughts, opinions, and murder mystery theories are entirely my own. *** Friends, sometimes the posts really just write themselves. Case in point: today’s Netflix post. The crux? I’m giving away 6 months free of Netflix. (If you’re already a subscriber, just add that baby to your other, er, baby, and keep the streaming love going.) I really shouldn’t need to {Read More}

November 24, 2015 By Leave a Comment
Disclaimer: As a member of Netflix’s #StreamTeam, I get to wax poetic about everything Netflix-related, curated, and marvelous. This month’s theme is #5MoreMinutes, and we’re all laughing about the myriad of ways our kids Just. Won’t. Go. To. Bed. (Netflix’s idea? Let them watch a “whole” show, especially if that show is one of Netflix and DreamWorks Animation’s Dinotrux 5 Minute Favorites.What a kind parent you are.) As always, all thoughts, opinions, and- sigh- nutso children are entirely my own. *** {Read More}
