  1. County's Tourism Council celebrates 30 years of service

    I can't imagine living here and not having the services of the Howard County Tourism Council available. I love to visit their website to learn about upcoming events, and to stop in the Visitors Center on Main Street every now and then to check out the...

  2. Orlando Fringe review: 'Little Miss Fringe Festival'

    If Honey Boo Boo competed for the title of  "Little Miss Fringe Festival," the reality TV starlet would be the classiest of the bunch.

  4. TV Review: ‘Family Tree’

    Variety
    Given his history, it’s a wonder Christopher Guest and HBO haven’t hooked up sooner, what with the cultish devotion to his understated satires "Best in Show" and "A Mighty Wind." Yet the actual wedding, "Family Tree," bears rather disappointing fruit,...

  5. Genealogical absurdity in Christopher Guest's 'Family Tree'

    The Philadelphia Inquirer
    You have to give Christopher Guest credit: When he finds a comedy style that works for him, he sticks with it. Since This Is Spinal Tap in 1984, he has devoted himself to deadpan mockumentaries like Best in Show and Waiting for Guffman, using a loyal...

  6. Family Tree: HBO brings Christopher Guest mockumentary style to TV

    Channel Guide Magazine
    Family Tree Sundays beginning May 12 HBO, 10:30pm ET The Christopher Guest troupe of actors from films like Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show and For Your Consideration seem like a little family all their own. So it’s only appropriate that they...

  7. TV Picks: 'Family Tree,' 'Nashville,' '10 Buildings,' 'The Middle'

    <strong>"Family Tree" (HBO, premieres Sunday).</strong> Christopher Guest has made you a TV series. Thank him. The director of "A Mighty Wind" and "Best in Show" and one of the forces behind and in "This Is Spinal Tap" -- in which he was Nigel Tufnel, whose amplifier went to 11 and whose guitar you were not to touch or even to look at -- Guest has been an architect of modern comedy, from the improvised dialogue that marks his films to the documentary style in which most have been shot. Its sound is his sound, its look his look. (Ricky Gervais owes him his career, if we are to consider that career based on "The Office"; "Parks &amp; Recreation" could almost be Guest's own work.) In the wonderful "Family Tree," hangdog Chris O'Dowd ("Bridesmaids," "The IT Crowd"), finding his life stalled after losing a girlfriend and a job in short order, goes in search of his roots and relatives. It's a trip that takes him into the theater, a boxing club, England's rural north, the back end of pantomime horse and finally to America. Michael McKean, a regular member of Guest's repertory company, plays Tom's father; Nina Conti his troubled ventriloquist sister. Jim Piddock, another Guest player, co-wrote the series and also appears in it, as Tom's antique-dealing downstairs neighbor. Familiar faces Fred Willard, Bob Balaban, Ed Begley Jr. and Amy Seimetz will also arrive in due time.

    Philadelphia Daily News
    FAMILY TREE. 10:30 p.m. Sunday, HBO. ANCESTOR worship's all the rage these days. So HBO's newest comedy, "Family Tree," about a man tracing his roots, should have built-in appeal for those not already sold by the name of co-creator Christopher Guest...

  11. 'This Is Spinal Tap' LP to be reissued June 11 -- on black vinyl

    Spinal Tap, the fabled heavy metal band celebrated for its amps that go to 11 and an 18-inch Stonehenge stage set, is proving itself at the cutting edge of rock music once again with the impending reissue of its debut album -- on black vinyl.

  12. McNamara's Picks: 'Scandal,' 'Family Tree,' 'Elementary'

    "Scandal": Shonda Rhimes' whacked-out buzzfest of a political drama comes to a much-fanticipated close after its first full season (it debuted as a mid-season replacement.) As super-sleuth and super-stylin' D.C. power-fixer Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) continues her on-again/off-again (currently very much on) affair with the perpetually lovesick President Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) -- your tax dollars at work! -- she and her fellow gladiators are also desperate to reveal the traitor passing state secrets out of the White House directly to terrorists. And the right one this time, please--when they previously, and wrongly, accused the CIA director, he wound up dead.
