Have you ever loved a show so much that you try to convince people who don’t watch it to tune in and try it out? Do you harass friends who don’t even fit the demographic of a program because your passion for a particular show is so great? “Game of Thrones,” which returns for its third season on HBO this Sunday, is one of

NBC’s “Revolution,” which returns from a long hiatus on Monday, is a fun show. I like to think of it as “Hunger Games” light.

I love reality TV shows. I don’t like them because there is any actual reality involved. I like them because they’re this generation’s sitcoms. Reality shows are comedy gold. For evidence of this, look no further than “The Apprentice” franchise, which is always filled

Another week, another drama filled episode of America’s favorite guilty pleasure, “The Bachelor.”  In case you forgot, I was out last week on a mini-vacation and I missed last Monday’s episode so there was no running diary. Actually that’s not entirely true. I did watch it, but I didn’t get around
