Tampon Ads Can't Tackle What TV's Been Doing For Decades

Tampon ads are filled with euphemisms, and feature women in varying shades of white frolicking outdoors. Nobody knows their secret, and really that's all anyone's ever asked of a tampon.

The Daily Show: Barack Obama Is Really Cliff Huxtable

Bill Cosby Talks Money on The Cosby Show

Tax day. We saw it coming a whole year ago, but as always, it managed to sneak up and scare the living wage out of most of us this past Wednesday. Were you rummaging through boxes of receipts and frantically scrambling to the post office at the very last minute? Shame on you! (Me too.)

Mr. Rogers and Cosby Sweaters Get a Moment in the Spotlight

When I think about memorable sweaters from my childhood — and I know, you're thinking, "why is Buzz talking about sweaters?" but bear with me — two folks immediately come to mind: Bill Cosby, who as Cliff Huxtable inflicted no shortage of brightly patterned '80s knitwear on unsuspecting children in his viewing audience, and Mr. Rogers, whose cozy cardigans are forever burned into my memory.

Top 10 Most Memorable TV Dads

Father's Day is fast approaching, so what better time to honor some of the most memorable television fathers? I've compiled a list of my top 10 dads (and a few father figures) to go along with my great movie dads list from the other day.
