For many, many a year the classic Frank Capra film, It's a Wonderful Life, played ad nauseum across every television network until we could barely stand to even turn on the tube in the month of December. Just when we thought we couldn't take another trip down the road to Bedford Falls, it seemed as if the powers that be at major network television answered our prayers and began to show It's a Wonderful Life only once a year on Christmas Eve. Once the classic had been stripped from our retinas we began to truly appreciate the film again for the simple, yet telling morality tale that it is. more ›

Allow us this opinion about "It's a Wonderful Life" for a moment, will you? For the longest time we found James Stewart's George Bailey to be not so much of a selfless family man as he was a milquetoast pussy who sacrificed his dreams to the point where he wound up being suicidal. It's really two-plus hours of depressing movie that we've made more palatable in recent years by sneaking a flask into the Music Box and hissing at the screen every time Lionel Barrymore ("Happy New Year to you... in jail!") is in scene, or catcalling whenever Donna Reed — the hottest old maid we've ever seen — graces the story. more ›

We've made no secret of the fact that we love watching MeTV. You can keep your crappy network reality TV, thank you very much. When it's time to wind down the evening we'll stick with Twilight Zone at 10pm, followed by The Dick Van Dyke Show (which apparently Michelle Obama loves). Especially now that there are two MeTV channels, there's rarely a moment when there isn't a vintage goodie airing that isn't worth watching. more ›
