The other day, I sat down and thought long and hard about all of the various dramas that I’ve seen over the course of my life.

Runaway to end with a special broadcast
Although an extension for Runaway Plan B has been nixed, the finale will be pushed back a week thanks to a recent pre-emption; last week’s scheduled episode of Episode 18 was postponed because of the Asia Games. That means 18 and 19 air this week, and the finale broadcasts on Wednesday, December 8. Since most... More »
