“How R Babbies Maid?” – Individual Complaints to the FCC About The Walking Dead

Beerguyrob - December 15, 2016December 15, 2016

As expected, people complained about the season premiere of "The Walking Dead". Specifically, about this: Also about Negan's flowery language, but mostly the violence. I am actually kind of shocked, because normally it is nudity that sends the prudes scurrying to their keyboards. The stereotype of American gun culture being what it's

“The Episode That Saved The Season” – The ‘Fall Finale’ Walking Dead Recap

Beerguyrob - December 12, 2016December 12, 2016

Well, this was the best episode of the season so far. It's just too bad there was so much garbage in between it and the season-opener. I guess the show justified all the disparate locations so they could wrap up this half by having the 90-minutes filled with scenes in every

“Paying For Dinner & Drinks But No Kiss Goodnight” – A Walking Dead Recap

Beerguyrob - December 5, 2016December 5, 2016

The warning on that gate seems like a motto for the season, doesn't it? This week: Multiple characters! In multiple storylines! A 90-minute episode! Finally, has "The Walking Dead" emerged from its mediocrity and embraced the light?! Nope. I'm going to freely admit that I watched bits of the episode during commercials (and Earl

“Man, This F*#&!-ng Show” – A Walking Dead Recap

Beerguyrob - November 28, 2016November 28, 2016

Congratulations AMC, I think I might be done with this show. The pacing this season seems to follow games of chance. There have been only two episodes really on point; the rest seem to just be travelogues of places to visit in the zombie apocalypse. It's like someone got zombie Rick Steves and

Balls’ Day Out: The Grand Tour taping

ballsofsteelandfury - November 23, 2016November 21, 2016

I made reference to this a while back, but, now that the show has aired, I can finally provide a behind-the-scenes look at what it was like to attend the taping of the first-ever episode of I will start off by telling you that there will be few, if any, pictures

Beerguyrob - November 21, 2016November 21, 2016

Man, I don't even know anymore... He's dead; get over it. Thanks to Seamus for covering last week while I was off doing research for the site. [That reminds me - I have to file an expense report with DFO's accountant; I hope she accepts empty cups as receipts.] This week's The Walking
