Yo Gabba Gabba
The first time I saw the children’s show Yo Gabba Gabba, I thought wow, a weird looking man wearing an orange wig and playing with dolls; how creepy is that. ‘ But, after giving it a chance, I have to say it isn’t a bad show.
Not that I watch …
Mr. Monk Paints His Masterpiece
When I watched Friday’s episode of Monk “Mr. Monk Paints his Masterpiece,” I found myself extremely disappointed. I’m not sure if the writers are running out of material or if maybe they want other cast members to get more recognition but this episode was no where near as good …

Lost Season 6 Episode 4
As with every episode of Lost this one was a little weird. There was so much going on I won’t recap what happened. This episode was mainly about Sawyer/Locke and a little bit of Hurley.
It’s really nice to see the Locke character alive and well especially when …
Peep Show
This is such an amazing program, not really one for the mainstream but if you like alternative humor then this is for you.
The way its filmed is extremely clever as if viewed through the eyes of the person talking(or listening) and centers around flat mates Mark and Jez.
Its now …
CSI: Las Vegas A space oddity
This is one of the latest episodes of CSI: Las Vegas. While I give it up for them for trying out something new, I didn’t really care much for this episode. Other than being completely different from other episodes, I didn’t really like anything about it. I thought it …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Gold Bar TV Show
Directed by Ida Lupino, who actually orchestrated many episodes of this western series, the fourth season episode of Have Gun - Will Travel was a semi-comical outing called The Gold Bar. I actually enjoyed this little twist of a tale that wasn’t exactly what was expected. We …
NCIS
NCIS is a series about crime scene investigators working for the Navy. Unlike many of the other similar shows, the comic element is quite strong in NCIS.
The good: I really like the comedy. The setting is far-fetched, there is for example only one person in the lab and …

In Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Gold Fever, the youngest McFadden brother, Guthrie, gets some time to show his stuff, and it’s good stuff. Young Guthrie is played by River Phoenix, who died way too young of tragic circumstances. Here, though, in 1982, we see the promise …

Good Luck Charlie- Disney Channel Family Show
Good Luck Charlie is Disney’s recent television show, and it’s a lot different from their other ones. For example, in this show, no one is famous. No one lives on a ship, and nobody can see the future. That’s what I like about this. Good Luck Charlie follows a …

Kelly Rutherford reprises her role as Dixie Cousins. This time, …
House MD. Season 8 Episode 2
I have previously said that House was one TV show that was not afraid to take risks (it has previously replaced almost an entire cast) and it was completely unexpected and brilliant. Well, episode 2 of House has proven me just unexpected the show can get. It left me …
Bones TV Episode: The Death of the Queen Bee

The episode had potential …

The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Day It Rained Forever TV Show
I wasn’t real impressed with The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Day It Rained Forever, a story of this science fiction anthology series that originally was seen on television in November 1990. The acting was okay, but I wasn’t taken by the story. It was slow, lacked much …
Star Trek: I, Mudd TV Show
Roger C. Carmel returns as the colorful Harry Mudd in this second season episode, Star Trek: I, Mudd. I prefer this one over his first appearance. It’s full of fun, right from the start when McCoy and Spock banter in the corridor. Those were the good …
Ghost Hunters: Fort Ticonderoga
Well, last week’s episode of Ghost Hunters at The Rock wasn’t bad. But, this week’s episode, at Fort Ticonderoga was actually a bit of a disappointment for me.

That Girl: Beware of Actors Bearing Gifts
This story is full of intentional confusion, and it’s just a hoot to see Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) try to figure it all out.
The guest star is Bruce Hyde, and I just can’t look at Hyde without laughing and thinking about his portrayal as Kevin Riley on Star Trek. …
