British TV Comedies to binge for lockdown
As an English lad living in Thailand, it is hard to find television to scratch the itch of a quirky British show. Thank the lord for Netflix. Throughout British television history, there have been some excellent gems that truly deserve to get international attention. And yet, it doesn't happen....unless America pick up the option and make a sub-par remake. This list attempts to shine some light on some shows that truly need to be watched. Let's jump right in.
Dad Jokes are Hilarious
Introduction Hello, this is Amber Forest, otherwise known as the Queen of Corn. Well, one day, I actually debated changing my name to Amber Green. Great play on the traffic light theme. Memorable name? Or would it simply go over people’s heads?
Amber ForestPublished 4 years ago in GeeksWe Love The Basement Yard
The world can be a depressing place. There's bad news, fake news, news you REALLY didn't want to hear. There's viruses and climate change and everything bad is happening at once! Even social media can be depressing when you see that Becky is at Disneyland and you're at work. UGH! What will you do to make yourself feel better? What will you do to put a smile on your face? The answer is...The Basement Yard!

Maelui YumikoPublished 4 years ago in GeeksThe Cadbury and Reese’s Chocolate Bunny adds have deemed it’s Easter season
Spring is in the air Spring has not sprung but the Easter season is officially upon us. The Sunday when Christians observe the resurrection of Christ is still two months away but advertisers are milking the holiday even earlier than last year. Valentine’s Day was on February 14 and Saint Patrick’s Day will not be here for another month.

During a late night in Cleveland, Kenny Hoffman is sitting at home in front of the television with his friend, Leo Delaney, watching a horror movie. Kenny is the kind of guy who likes to yell at the screen while Leo enjoys just watching how things play out.

Personally, I love The Witcher and how it has evolved over the years. It started out as a series of novels in the 1980's by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowsi.

I can’t remember the Democratic senator being interviewed but he was right up there with Joe Biden, Tom Daschle and Patrick Leahy. Of course, the Senator was following suit with John Kerry’s central rationale for supplanted George W. Bush. The Iraq invasion having descending into chaos, a Kerry administration will join forces with our key allies in Europe and get the situation under control,” he droned on.

In the Smithsonian Museum, one can kind find iconic TV props such as Archie Bunker’s Chair, the sign post from MASH and the Lone Ranger’s Mask. So a case could easily be made that Ed Norton’s hat form the Honeymooner’s should also hold an exalted place in our national museum. But the omission actually made the day of Chappaqua’s Eric Goldstein when he stopped into Bobo’s Cafe on Sunday afternoon.

Noah Baumbach’s best film of the decade deals with divorce in a sincere way. I saw this movie at the New York Film Festival, and ever since, I just can't stop talking about it.
