I didn’t plan on blogging today, but I found a ton going on I thought everybody should be apprised of. Plus, for personal reasons, I may not be blogging next week. OK, screw that, I hate when people just say person reasons. My wife and I are having our first baby, and Jenna Grace is [...]

Talk about an awards show that needs a makeover. The five reality show hosts turning around the host the Emmys was a bad idea from the start, and congrats to those hosts for pulling off the impossible — actually being worse than people thought they would be. That’s up there with ‘Nova over Georgetown in ‘85 [...]

weekend preparedness kit

By Mike Sadowski | Published: September 19, 2008 | Comments closed
I wanted to make sure I got something in today because I have no idea whether I’ll be able to blog on Monday. Or whether I’ll even be alive. Ryder Cup weekends always take a lot out of me. It’s not as bad as it used to be seeing as I’m at work and sober on a [...]

Haven’t done this in a while, but I get a bunch of stuff in my e-mail that is worthwhile, it just never seems to have a place to go in Sharp, so here it is: We heard from our friends over at Pocono Brewing Company today. Seems they’re casting for two professional female dancers for a [...]

For a second or two, let’s just forget that the financial system our country and the world is based on is about to go belly up . . . Congrats to the Coens Brother for finally scoring a hit with Burn After Reading. The offbeat comedy finally scored the Coens a big opening weekend, one [...]

fall season watch list (wednesday)

By Mike Sadowski | Published: September 10, 2008 | Comments closed
Back on track to dissect the new TV season, with today’s installment: WEDNESDAY I’m officially calling this “DVR Catch Up Day.” I doubt that’s gonna be any network’s slogan for the night though. “Who needs Lipstick Jungle when you’ve got Chuck burning a hole in your DVR! And make sure you catch-up with Fringe when you could [...]

me and VMAs announce break-up

By Mike Sadowski | Published: September 8, 2008 | Comments closed
I’m over the Video Music Awards. It’s official. It’s not that I’m too old and sit around all day complaining about what it was like in my day. The problem is the show doesn’t deliver like it used to. Instead of looking forward to it and being riveted, I more looked forward to the Phils-Mets game [...]
