I remember going to a pond as a kid to feed the ducks. Tearing off little pieces of bread, tossing them into the water where a group of ducks eagerly awaited the snack. Then one of the crumbs was snatched up from beneath the water’s surface, and I realized a … Get hard
March is winding down, and so is our March Madness trip down nostalgia lane. From a controversial field of 32 cartoon theme songs, we have reached our Final Four. This round was lighter on drama, with only one close match (but the closest match possible!) of the four, and our two … Get hard
Things are really heating up in the tournament. Our last round had eight matches, and six of them ended separated by five votes or fewer, including one match that was decided by a single vote. So keep your votes coming in the polls at the end of this post. Your … Get hard

A few months ago, I pre-ranked the 2014-15 superhero/comic book TV shows. Once Agent Carter airs next week, almost all of the superhero-y shows on that list will be at their halfway point, or just past it, for the season.
