When you talk about the longest running cartoons out there, you think the usual names: The Simpsons, King of the Hill, South Park and even, somehow, American Dad and Family Guy. Yet, I think we forget...
The Supernatural fandom is one of the most devoted ones out there. It was noted just a few years ago that on Tumblr, the largest active fandoms on their site included Game of Thrones, Doctor Who, and ...
The Simpsons have become part of not only American culture but of world culture. It’s one of those phenomena that manage to become part of our collective consciousness. It is infinitely quotable and (...

The Simpsons was a game-changing series. At its peak, it changed what we thought could be done with an animated series, and how a sitcom could be presented. From the very beginning, creator Matt Groen...
Everyone has a visceral reaction to horror movies. When they’re brought up, a person will either split a smile and name something they saw recently, list a few favorites or others to avoid, or they wi...
Nothing quite says America like the muscle car. Well, there’s always denim, apple pie, freedom, sour mash, boots and the open road—but you need something to drive on that road, don’t you? Might as wel...
They say blondes have more fun. Given the number of women who dye their hair blonde, we imagine that it’s true. The fact is the hair color really brings out some other features on your face, like your eyes or even maybe some cheek dimples.
The South will never come again, but we wouldn’t mind if country music did. Now, obviously, this quiz is all about country music. It has a long history in this country—quite frankly longer than any ot...

With each new development, video games take us one step closer to expanding entertainment into VR, which will (hopefully) lead us to holodecks like in Star Trek. Games have allowed for a new way to te...
You know what’s really fun? Science fiction. You know what is somehow still around? The X-Files, which is also science fiction (or “speculative fiction” as creator Chris Carter at his most pretentious...
