Heath Andrews has been a student of pop culture ever since he found himself to be the only student in 3rd grade who regularly watched "Get Smart" on Nick-At-Nite. Ever since then he's been engrossed in way too much media with a growing collection of music, books, comics, TV on DVD box sets, and a video game collection that could rival a brick and mortar store. Prior to writing for Nerdbot he's written for Review You, MyAnimeList, and various advertising companies. Since 2016 he's run his own YouTube channel under the moniker of The Critical Android where he livestreams video games and uploads podcasts about pop culture and Frasier.

The character of Frasier Crane premiered on television in the fall of 1984, when he was introduced in “Cheers” season 3, episode 1. He remained on the show until it ended in the summer of 1993. His spinoff, “Frasier,” premiered later that same year. So, by the time it ended in mid 2004, the psychiatrist and radio host had been around for 20 years. Since then, he has lived on in syndication, streaming, reruns, DVDs, and the imagination of fans. But now, Frasier Crane has returned. The executive producers of the “Frasier” revival, as well as Kelsey Grammer himself, have…

With the great writer’s strike of 2023 finally resolved, tv shows are beginning to air again. The late night hosts are back at it already, and more programs will be returning in the upcoming weeks. If Drew Barrymore had her way, she would’ve had her show back on the air sooner than that. In a seemingly affront to her writing staff (and the rest of the WGA), she originally planned bring her show back without the writers. This act did not go unforgotten as when Barrymore’s show officially returns, the head co-writers will not be returning with it. Chelsea White,…

It seems so long ago since the writer’s strike happened and eventually ended. When it started back in May of 2023, some shows had not concluded their current season. “Saturday Night Live” was one of those shows. Before season 48 wrapped prematurely, former cast member Pete Davidson was all set to host an episode. Well, that fell apart fast, but now that the strike is over, Pete’s finally getting his chance to host later this month. “SNL” went through a huge transition going into season 48. There was a grand exodus of cast members that were considered staples of the…

There’s a lot that you can say about the Catholic Church, much of which has already been said by hundreds of millions of people over the centuries. Even though the power of the church and the Pope has diminished over the years, His Holiness Pope Francis still holds sways over millions of people across the world. Whether that sway is a good or bad thing is a contentious point. And yet despite being the head of a more conservative institution, Pope Francis is taking aim at something considered a more liberal cause; climate change. On Wednesday, the pontiff released a…

Not every company gets to make its way into the history books. Those that do can enter it in one of two ways that can basically be summed up as “good” or “bad.” Earlier this week, Dish Network is now part of that history, and not in the good way. They’ll now go down in history as the first company to be fined by the FCC for space debris. Dish Network has long been a satellite television provider, one of the largest in the United States. In 2002 they launched their satellite, EchoStar-7. Obviously you can’t just launch satellites into…

It has been a tough road for Toys “R” Us over the last decade or so. Dwindling sales and a failure to keep up with online retailing resulted in the storied chain of toy stores going bankrupt in 2019. All the stores across the United States shut their doors and put the name up for sale. This was pretty crushing to adults who grew up with the store being a part of their childhoods. Fortunately for toy lovers everywhere, things have been picking up over the last couple years for Toys “R” Us, and you may just see them coming…

The journey that Britney Spears has gone on over the last decade and a half has been one that has never been out of the public eye, which is perhaps part of the problem.

On September 27th, the Philadelphia Phillies played host to the Pittsburgh Pirates for a late season Major League Baseball game. Of the many people planning to attend the game, one of them was Joie Henney. Regrettably for Joie though, entrance was denied to his emotional support animal. Many of us know how invaluable animals can be for their sense of loyalty and unconditional love. But apparently Citizens Bank Park draws a line at emotional support animals when they’re alligators. Well, it’s not just alligators. According to an article from Nexstar, service animals or service animals in training are perfectly welcome…
