Prohibition 2020 is located in Orchard Park, almost directly next door to Highmark Stadium (I still call it the Ralph but I digress). It was former called Biergarten and Tailgaters and who knows before that. I’ve had wings there under previous regimes and quite frankly thought they kinda sucked. Will Prohibition suffer the same fate? … Read More

TV Review: “Love” (Seasons 1-2)
I’ve spent nearly the past two years of my existence not watching “Love” on Netflix; an original series created by Judd Apatow, Paul Rust and Lesley Arfin. Before proceeding let me say this —- “Love” is as a romantic comedy with some bite, something you’d expect from an Apatow adaptation but make no mistake about … Read More

R.I.P., Robert Guillaume
Robert Guillaume was a great actor and funny as hell. Back in the day when it was rare for a black comedic actor to be a star on television, he stood out for his performance in the late 70’s as Benson DuBois on Soap, and then got his own spinoff Benson. The latter was one … Read More

TV: Season 3 Of “The Ranch” Is Deceptively Intense (And Good)
(Warning: If you’ve yet to watch Season three of “The Ranch” on Netflix, it’s probably not a good idea to read this post, as many spoilers are included) In my opinion, there’s a tendency over the past several years of viewing television shows. Shows tend to peak over the first few seasons before considerably tailing … Read More
Review: HBO’s “Big Little Lies” Is Worth Your Time
I’m pretty much a loser and predominantly OK with that. It’s these admissions that preclude any shame as I habitually choose binge-watching shows in lieu of socializing with family and society in general. I was a bit more bored today than usual so after catching up with my two beloved comedy series, Silicon Valley and … Read More
