Lets All Vote Family Circus Out of the Post Dispatch Comics!

 Posted on September 22, 2010  |  The Editor

Every year the Post Dispatch lets the 134 old people waiting to die that still get the paper delivered to them vote in a poll to see what comic they cut out to keep things “lively”. Usually? Who cares right? However, this year we noticed a frequent target of our ire in the list: Family Circus. This is it Family Circus!

The 11th season of Spike TV’s angst-ridden reality show starts on September 15th at 7pm. [Read More]

 Posted on July 16, 2010  |  The Editor

I know you think we here at Punching Kitty spend our “down time” doing extreme things like kicking lions or swimming in the Mississippi with our mouths open, but from time to time we might sit down and enjoy the more stagnent side of life by enjoying a spot of TV.
