Exiled….ostracized…put on a bus…shamed……dead. Gone. These sum up my current fascination with characters in teen television…how we deal with loss, goodbyes, change, closure, and death…through the vehicle of teen television programming. More to come…

A Jackie-a-Day…kept me away.
I tried to do a Jackie-a-day, I really didt…but I couldn’t. It wasn’t because of my work ethic, although I questioned it. It was my interest level. Jackie sounded great on paper, but not in practice. (I know, that’s a set up for some JFK jokes, but refrain) I was a bit surprised that Jackie [...]

I made my first trip to Hollywood. This trip was a long time coming given the amount of research and work I’ve done on Old Hollywood. You read, watch, hear, imagine a place…. a time period, part of land,…that when you actually visit it….the history reaches a different sense of clarity. It’s feels surreal to [...]
