I think a show that's been around for 72 years deserves to be honored in some way. So I've decided to revisit the rich history of the daytime soap opera, Guiding Light , by featuring the 25 Grooviest Guys and Gals of Springfield. The show will air its final episode on September 18, so over the next three months I will reveal my selections (in no particular order). Feel free to recommend a character...

As the World Turns' Rosanna will really make her presence known this week when she resurfaces in Oakdale, raising a few eyebrows and wrinkling a few people's plans along the way.

I've never seen a production of the Kander and Ebb musical, The Rink , which opened on Broadway on February 9, 1984, but I adore the score. "Colored Lights", "Chief Cook and Bottle Washer", "We Can Make It", "Marry Me", and "The Apple Doesn't Fall" are all wonderful songs. The Rink tells the story of Anna (Chita Rivera), the widowed owner of a decaying...

One day, on the street, Bruce Andrews found several thousands of pages of scripts from As the World Turns . He then created a piece I'm calling "This Is the 20th Century" (from its first line), a preface/blurb to a book by Johanna Drucker ( Dark Decade ) which uses phrases from the scripts and also some language from Drucker. He read this piece at an Ear Inn reading in 1994. Here is the recording--from...
I have seen the first episode of Nurse Jackie , and I can only describe it as dark, dirty and delicious. If you're a fan of shows like Dexter, Weeds , Breaking Bad , Rescue Me or Six Feet Under ...this is the series for you. The very talented and entirely watchable Edie Falco ( The Sopranos ) is Nurse Jackie Peyton, a veteran of the ER who seems to care more about the patients than the doctors do....
I'm tired and can't sleep, feel a bit off tonight. So...I'm just writing literally whatever pops into my head as I write...I have no clue where this post is heading, and that's a fact. I can barely keep my eyes open, and this whole post may end up being totally daft. It's such a magnificent old world out there, and I am sad for all the people who don't realize that. I was blessed while young, to learn...
Long before shows such as PICKET FENCES or DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES turned their eye toward small-town life, the entire nation was titillated by the shocking events which unfolded in a tiny New England town known as Peyton Place, first brought to life in the 1956 novel by Grace Metalious. And when the fledling ABC network was [...]
And while we slept, the world continued to turn in spite of the following stories: North Korea Fires Its Second Nuke. Monitors in Japan and China detected a local earthquake in a seismically inactive area of North Korea where the Norks tested their first device in 2006. Satellite pictures apparently captured an ‘energetic’ fireball emerging above [...]
