The Tuesday Ten: Two First Names, Redux
Last week, we saw the good side of the two-first-named celebrities. Since then, I’ve thought of many that would make my “just okay” list. Mark-Paul Gosselaar! Ricardo Antonia Chavira! Holly Marie Combs! Soleil Moon Frye! But...

The Tuesday Ten: The Ten Best TV Shows With Titular Characters
10. Ugly Betty – Ugly Betty has too many characters, weird plot turns, and a rip-off of a premise. However, America Ferrerra is great and Vanessa Williams is better. It’s a fun dramedy that doesn’t take itself too seriously, Grey’s. 9. Frasi...
