About This Blog

Well, until recently, when I decided to change the title of the blog to something a little less obscure, the title was "That's Alls I Know," referencing the 1994 Murphy Brown episode "The Fifth Anchor," with Wallace Shawn as a former colleague of the FYI anchors.

The point of this blog: to talk about television, past and present. And recently, I've begun to focus more on the films of Classic Hollywood, which account for a good chunk of my TV viewing.
