TV is not a vast wasteland. Besides being a cliché, that just isn’t true. TV isn’t just one thing. Television is powerful, pervasive, sometimes insidious, and it is everywhere. Some of it is truly awful. But it can also be extraordinary, mesmerizing, instructive, moving and wonderful.

So my advice is to look for the good stuff, ignore the junk, watch what you like, and don’t let the rest bother you. (Until someone cancels your show, then give ‘em hell.)

— Rick Kushman, in his final regular television column for the Sacramento Bee. Kushman will be focusing on penning his “Good Life” column about dynamic locales and things in the Sacramento region.

A movie ticket is not of a price that causes people to feel guilty for spending their money. People have traditionally complained about ticket prices, but in this economy, for an outside-the-home activity, it’s looking like a relative bargain.
— Paul Dergarabedian, box office analyst for Hollywood.com, in a Sacramento Bee article about unlikely hits such as Paul Blart: Mall Cop and Taken
