TV RECAP: ‘The Office: The Seminar’

Posted on January 28, 2011 by Nat Almirall

The phrase “it was only a matter of time” seems a bit obsolete if I’m going to use it to describe the meeting between Michael Scott and the original Michael Scott, David Brent. The U.S. Office is in its seventh … Continue reading →

Posted on December 6, 2010 by Shannon Hood

Well, this season of The Walking Dead certainly went out with a bang, didn’t it? Sorry, I never met a bad pun I didn’t like. Once again, we don’t see many zombies, but there was tension running rampant throughout the entire … Continue reading →
