Happy Father’s Day! I don’t know about you, but I spent most of my childhood (the 90’s) in front of a television set. In fact, I actually once told Simpsons-creator Matt Groening that Homer Simpson raised me (he looked at me with a little bit of concern, as if his eyes were saying, “D’oh!” Not …
Once upon a time (January 2010), in a land far, far away (well far if you live in China), I did a set visit to the NBC show “Community”. In this magical land of television… of lights, cameras, action and all that other fancy stuff related to Hollywood… I had a conversation with Joel McHale, …
When I was four years old, Hulk Hogan scared me.
When I was twenty-four years old, I told him this.
Now, telling a professional wrestler that he’s scary is one of two things.
When I say “Topanga,” what does it mean to you? If you’re old and into ‘suburban life’ and live in LA, you’re probably thinking of the mall right off the 101 freeway. However if you’re young and cool and hip and watched TGIF (like me), you obviously thought of Cory Matthews love interest on the …
I have a confession to make. I… um. Uh. I. I don’t really watch much TV. *gasp* Yes, I know some of you may be thinking, “WTF?! She worked at TV Guide Network for two years, how the heck does she NOT watch TV! Doesn’t her job require her to be on TV??” The answer …
This just in: Brian Williams is a huge fan of obituaries, owns two American cars, and thinks Jon Stewart is a necessary branch of government. Good evening, I’m Samia Khan.

Anyway…ABC has this show Flash Forward. I happened to visit the …
OK so I have a confession… Everytime I see a mustache, I can’t help but laugh. OK maybe not laugh, but smile. Smirk. LOL in my head. And well, this past November was no exception… that’s when, thanks to a few dear friends (yes Waldo and Waseem, I’m talkin about you guys,) I learned about …
Growing up, I wasn’t allowed to watch Seinfeld. In fact, you’d typically hear my mom saying, “Samia, go to your room!” whenever my older brother was watching this (or Friends. I was also sent to my room when my dad watched “90210” and “Melrose Place.” Don’t ask me why my dad chose the programming he …
