?The Office? proves that TV relationships will succeed
Television couples. They either work or they don't. Sometimes they spend 10 seasons getting to an acceptable point of audience satisfaction. Sometimes they just start out that way.

?Mad Mondays? feature plethora of quality TV shows
Textbooks have been purchased, classes have begun and hours spent in the library have commenced. In my book, that means one thing: a new season of television to procrastinate the time away. I'm what you might call a television addict; I watch far too much television for my own good and, half the time, I […]
