Belushi, Britney, J-Lo and Kayne. That Should Be Enough for One Day.

There are too many awards shows. We know that. So just in case you were wondering, here’s how you know an awards show is about as useful as [...]

A First Time for Everything. Like Talking About American Idol.
Sorry no PopRox yesterday. I’ll be back tomorrow, have a quick-hitter Thursday, then we’re live-chattin’ at noon Friday. Thursday I’m going to post the live chat expectations after some of the problems we had last time, too. And I will now start the shameless and constant Facebook and Twitter reminders.

TV Shows That Need to Be on DVD
Hope everyone had a wild — but safe -- Fourth of July. I’m still having involuntary spasms in my neck, which I’m blaming on being traumatized from the constant boom of fireworks around my house Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. I’m shocked that so many people have access to highly illegal and dangerous fireworks, but hey, [...]

Live Chat Coming Friday!
Quick hitter here under the guise of being a blog post, but it’s really just a reminder about the PopRox live chat Friday at noon:
At the Record, we get dozens of faxes/emails a day from police departments. Almost none of them are remotely interesting. But today, I took one of the fax that claimed a [...]
The Rise and Fall (and Rise?) of Craig Kilborn
Not to slam on local TV station Fox 56, but the actions it took last year — actions perfectly within its right and power — are now keeping most of us in the Poconos from seeing the new Craig Kilborn talk show, The Kilborn File.
I’m just not whether to thank them or not.
The show is [...]
