My good friend Pope Don Paul would even concede it has rained a lot recently, driving people to the movies to watch television. Of course, I’m talking about the recent movies based on the television series, “The A-Team” and “Sex and the City.” I felt it was my moral obligation to see them ...

It’s hard to tell if there have been more promos for ABC’s “Summer Season” recently than there have been ads for Cellino & Barnes and Billy Fuccillo. But the promo-ad contest is closer than the NBA finals series between Boston and Los Angeles that ends tonight with Game 7. In the word of ...

Actress Wendie Malick has always been a great representative of Western New York and one of my favorite people in show business. It wasn’t that long ago that she even performed in a play at the Studio Arena to raise money in the hope that it would help save the local theater. That made her light ...

You don’t need Channel 4’s Pope Don Paul, Channel 2’s Kevin O’Connell or Channel 7’s Aaron Mentkowski to do the weather in Western New York. Anybody can do it. That’s long been the theory around here anyway. After all, it’s the easiest job in the world because nobody expects you to be ...

Nobody asked me but: * Believe it or not, I had to make a tough call Sunday night when the Tony Awards aired opposite Game 5 of the NBA Finals between the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers. It was made tougher because the revival of the musical “Promises, Promises” was up for a few awards. ...

Cheers to Channel 4 reporter Rich Newberg for his story Thursday about South Buffalo hero Patrick Kane. Newberg did something in the news story about the Stanley Cup hero that many sports reporters seemed to want to avoid: Address Kane’s problem last August with a cabbie over a fare that made national ...

Let’s call this column “True Confessions” and “True Blood.” We’ll start with the confessions. Since I left the Buffalo News on May 1, many people have asked me why someone so young would leave. OK, forget the young part. They asked me why I decided to leave. There were a few reasons, but ...

The Western New York area watched South Buffalo Patrick Kane become the hero of game six of the Stanley Cup Finals in high numbers Wednesday night but it wasn’t a local record. The Chicago Black Hawks’ 4-3 overtime victory over the Philadelphia Flyers to win the Cup on Kane’s goal averaged a 13.2 ...

Would Channel 2 mention Patrick Kane’s taxi cab problem last summer in its lead story Wednesday night celebrating the Stanley Cup finals hero? Kane’s own enthusiastic words in a post-game interview after he led the Chicago Black Hawks to a 4-3 overtime victory that won the Stanley Cup in a six-game ...

Shame. Channel 4 and Channel 7 both deserve it for overplaying “Sex and the City, Part 2, Batavia Style.” At 6 p.m. Tuesday, both stations lead with the story about the alleged picnic table sex at a Batavia park that resulted in a rare adultery charge against 41-year-old Suzanne M. Corona of Batavia. ...
