Over the next week, or so, I'm going to provide inside information about each of the 'personal favorite' story links that are shown below. 

 5 Traits of Hardcore Philadelphia Phillies' Fans

Every longtime baseball fan considers himself/herself to be hardcore. In Philadelphia there are particular elements within the culture that helps to define who we are. 

 I loved writing this one because the exaggerations weren't so far from reality. Those of us who saw the 1980 and 2008 World Series' victories are deeply fortunate and owe an eternal debt of gratitude to every fan who ever lived and never saw either great team.

Random personal favorites that I've written over time...

Television Haiku Poem



Over the next week, or so, I'm going to provide inside information about each of the 'personal favorite' story links that are shown below. 

 Television Haiku Poem

Television is fully woven into the American culture and into many parts of the worldwide consciousness. Anyone who believes that the internet will break this thread must be unaware that radio was projected for the ash can many decades ago. 

 The advent of holographic images will cause a new dimension in television to move beyond the final line of this Haiku.

Who Killed J.R. Ewing?


Patrick Duffy knows who killed J.R. Ewing

 Last's nights memorial and funeral for J.R. Ewing, which was shown on TNT's rebooted "Dallas" was superb. 

 The resolution to the ultimate mystery will be revealed by episode 15, which is also the final episode of this season.

 Patrick Duffy (Bobby Ewing) said that he was informed by executive producer (Cynthia Cidre) what the resolution to the mystery will be so that he could know how to play certain crucial scenes. He also said that the resolution to this ultimate mystery has been crafted with dignity, respect and surprise.

 Along with all long-time fans of the show, I'm looking forward to seeing how everything plays out and wish our beloved Dallas' family the best through many more seasons. 

Here is my most recent Yahoo feature article on Dallas and the Legacy of J.R. Ewing.

Dallas: J.R. Ewing - The Memorial


All Hail J.R. Ewing

The iconic CBS television show "Dallas" is experiencing a fine rebirth during its second season on TNT, which I believe is a part of the same parent company. 

 As all fans of the series know, Larry Hagman passed away in November 2012. With that in mind the producer had to make a choice as to how to handle the J.R. Ewing character's future. 

 No one could ever supplant Hagman's portrayal of the ultimate bad guy and so it was determined to have another cliffhanger where J.R. is shot. This time it appears to be fatal, as a memorial will be held at 9 p.m. EST. 

 Before anyone passes judgement on this plot line choice, let's see how it plays out. Also keep in mind that Hagman himself likely had a hand in deciding the fate of his character. 

 Here is my most recent Yahoo feature article on Dallas and the Legacy of J.R. Ewing.
