A Fresh Return
“Throwback Thursday” got a little jazzy today.

Nostalgia has a very special place in all of our hearts and the past few years has been glorious/surreal in celebrating the 20th, 25th and 30th anniversaries of amazing films and television shows that made up a golden era of funny and witty entertainment.
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is a prime example and Smith’s announcement is great news that DJ Jazzy Jeff will be known to multiple generations as “their DJ.” The positive feelings and memories towards this show and characters is great. Kids who grew up with the series are now showing their kids the reruns cleverly filled with humor, life lessons and the official dance moves to Tom Jones.
The good news for Will Smith and Jazzy Jeff is that parents today just may understand what they’re singing about.
Justice is (a) Grind
How good is The Grinder?
Let me rephrase that: The Grinder is how good sitcoms do it.
The freshman comedy on Fox starring Rob Lowe (former TV lawyer “The Grinder”) and Fred Savage (a real lawyer) as brothers is the perfect show for this generation. The concept is outrageous, but it is openly made fun of and advanced in pitch-perfect fashion. Lowe and Savage carry the show, but the supporting actors and actresses (family, law firm colleagues and new characters) bring it all together for a sensational sitcom.
“…the most dramatic way possible.”
–The Grinder
Do you need more? I thought so.
And yes (enter a pause with a dramatic turn to you the reader)…this show will sustain as a hit far into the future.
Happy Monday!
Forget left-brained v. right-brained.
Are you a Bluetooth person or a considerate person?
This is one of the great philosophical questions of our time. How do we approach life and its infinite conundrums? Do we value personal space? Do we still value our ever-shrinking privacy?
