What were you doing when we called? I was napping with my daughter and trying to get her to go to sleep by singing her songs. The last one was Yo La Tengo. “By the Time It Gets Dark” is a song she likes. I do a lot of really long ballads, and if I […]
“Body of Proof” Tuesday 10pm, ABC Dana Delaney is much missed on “Desperate Housewives,” but you can’t blame the magnetic ginger for wanting a show of her own. In this new procedural (I know, I know…) she plays Megan Hunt, a hotshot neurosurgeon who becomes a medical examiner after a car accident pushes her out […]

What were you doing when we called? I’ve been making a children’s book about Charlottesville with a friend of mine. One of the things I’m drawing is the Downtown Mall. But we want to make a big storybook portrait of Charlottesville, one that would be supposedly for kids, but hopefully the visuals and the writing […]
“Comedy Central Roast of Donald Trump” Tuesday 10:30pm, Comedy Central The worst-coiffed man in America is still somehow culturally relevant—and a hell of a lot wealthier than you or me—so he must be doing something right. Among the people roasting the perhaps future Virginia vintner will be comedians Whitney Cummings, Jeffrey Ross and Lisa Lampanelli, […]
Another Year revolves around an ostensibly happy married couple of late middle age, and several of the ostensibly unhappy people they know.
