O.K., I admit it, I have not posted any reviews this Cannonball. It’s just been a weird and for too many, sad time, hasn’t it? But I have managed to do a little reading. These may just be capsule reviews, but that’s just about all I can handle at the moment. There have been some good books and not so good books, but it’s 2020, so that’s par for the course. Looking at this list I realize that I have been drawn to books to […]

A sitcom “full of minute observations and despicable characters”

December 12, 2016 by badkittyuno Leave a Comment

I’ve mentioned before that I love reading histories of movies or shows — Clueless, The Princess Bride — and now I can add Seinfeldia to that list. I wouldn’t bother with this one if you don’t like the show, but if you do — this was a great read. “By 2013, Seinfeld would become the most successful show ever in syndication. Networks buy reruns in packages sold in “cycles,” and Seinfeld was the first show in history to get to a fifth cycle, taking its rerun sales through 2017—nearly twenty […]

No Hugging, No Learning

December 11, 2016 by Caitlin_D Leave a Comment

The first episode of Seinfeld, titled The Seinfeld Chronicles and more of a “special” than a series pilot, premiered when I was about 18 months old and the much maligned series finale aired a few months after I turned 10. Learning these dates astonished me because, while I knew Seinfeld was a”90s” show, this means there is basically no chance I saw a single episode “live”- at least not intentionally. My parents watched Seinfeld but I can’t imagine them enjoying it with their tween children. Regardless, I’ve seen every […]
