Print-friendly'Confessions' a Great Thing for Buffalo
My wife introduced me to a fantastic show that's been running on A&E called 'Confessions of a Matchmaker'. I think its the best thing to happen for Buffalo, NY in a long time.
We half joking say around the NCAFP office that family medicine needs another 'Marcus Welby' television show to help it stand out. For anyone younger than forty, the show had a hugely successful run in the late-60s to mid-70s. It was about a family doctor and his prevails in caring and mentoring. (See this link for info)
Well, Buffalo may have their hit on television right now. It's a show about a doctor of sorts; a love doctor!
The show is titled `Confessions of a Matchmaker` and is both entertaining and bittersweet. Novak is hillariously pragmatic with her dating advice, and you begin to ask yourself 'shit - Buffalo looks happening`. I've already seen people I recognize. I could see this being the 'Dawg The Bounty Hunter' of real-world dating. Novak is king in a Vinny Parco kind of way.
If you haven't seen it - check it out at the official 'Confessions' website. Runs in a tough spot right now though - Saturdays at 10:30 pm, but I could see it changing if we're the norm.
If you're really into Buffalo and want to monitor what's up, here's the sites I visit. It's like you never left home....
1) Buffalo Rising - Elmwood-esque, updated daily. George and Newell do a great job.
2) Illuzziletter - Joe is still at it, but now has a gigantic following. The down-and-dirty of Buffalo politics.
3) The Buffalo News
