Politics, humor columns & irreverent films from a guy who watched way too much TV as a kid

Information

Author(s):Darren Garnick
Language:English
Tags:Politics, Humor, Pop Culture
Description:Although much of his youth was spent watching “Batman,” and “Creature Double Feature,” Darren’s current gigs as a parent, TV field producer, newspaper columnist and documentary filmmaker ironically leave little time for TV. But he still gets emotional whenever he hears the theme songs to “Welcome Back Kotter,” “The Greatest American Hero," and “WKRP in Cincinnati.”
