On the Box

09:20am 14 Feb 2012 I have a crazy theory that the entire history of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation can be split into different eras - and which of those eras is your favourite will ultimately determine whether you like the fact that Ted Danson has replaced William Petersen and Laurence Fishburne as the male lead on the show.

From cheesy sitcoms and mystery shows to current affairs and reality TV, and everything in between – if it’s on the box, Chris Philpott has probably seen it and has an opinion about it. Make sure you tune in for his unique take on everything television.

This Is Not a Love Song (list) Comments 94 comments

10:17am 14 Feb 2012  This week the topics have all been pre-selected. I asked for your suggestions last week. Today's topic comes from Jordan, who wrote asking for a blog about the best 'anti-love' songs ever written for us singletons who will not be celebrating Valentine's this year (sniff) . Well, as was the case last year when I wrote about the best breakup songs I can't really speak from experience. I'm happily married. Though I don't really support the cause of Valentine's Day with any great gusto, I recommend having a child: it gets you off the hook. Katy told me specifically not to buy her anything as we are broke. I bought a rose off the counter of the dairy (for $2). We don't live that far from the dairy and the single rose had wilted by the end of the walk home.

moonpossum#82 - You say "10cc's 'I'm Not in Love' is not an anti love song - it is the complete opposite! If you listen to the lyrics it is about someone who is absolutely in love but does not want to let the other person know that just yet!"

You're wrong. It's about two people who've just broken up. You should have a listen to the lyrics.
