Penn Badgley: Toeing The Line Between Cute and Creepy
TV surfing has gathered me some useless hours of reality television and random crime shows in the past, but rarely does it result in me watching a quality show. A couple of weeks ago, it did just that, however, when I clicked on YOU.

In Love of 'Cheers'
In the first episode the Boston-based, booze-fueled comedy Cheers, we see a young woman and her fiancé duck into a cozy establishment, giggling and celebrating their apparent love for one another. We’ve never been to this place before though we recognize it almost immediately. It’s a place we’ve all been to at one point or another. It’s a place that invited us in though it hasn’t met us yet either, and we’re all the greater for having been there. Not long after do we find out these characters are Diane Chambers and her, at the time, soon to be wed partner Sumner. We don’t know their history but what we do know is they have stumbled into our neighborhood friendly place. Not too long after we meet our main character, a man who we’ll follow for the next decade plus of not only his life, but ours as well. A young, stunningly handsome man who looks at home on the other side of the bar. This man is named Sam Malone, and in this episode we see the first ever meeting between him and Diane Chambers on an autumn day in 1982. We would follow their journey, with some time off, until the Spring of 1993 when Sam and Diane finally agreed that they just didn’t fit together, that the love of Sam’s life was indeed Cheers and those who inhabited it. While this may seem like a sad ending for Sam to those blind to the Cheers universe, it was fitting in a way that can’t be put into words, and what we got in the 11 years in between was a portal to a world where everybody knew your name.

It took Bruce Lee just four hit films released between 1971 and 1973 to cement his status as a martial arts icon. His premature death at the height of his fame on July 20, 1973 made him a legend.
