Babylon 5: Season 1, Episode 11: Believers

A-Team TV Episode: The Rabbit Who Ate Las Vegas
Hmm—¦.I was enjoying the A-Team re-runs I had an opportunity to watch this past weekend. But, I have to admit, the one entitled The Rabbit Who Ate Las Vegas was a bit much for me.

Cupcake Girls TV Series

That 70s Show: Fez dates Donna
I happened to turn on a re-run of That 70s Show this afternoon; Fez Dates Donna and found it was absolutely hillarious.

After trying to watch Tosh.0 quite a few times, I am still truly baffled as to how this guy who hosts it got his own show. Now, I have absolutely nothing against the comedian who hosts it, but I remember when the first season premiere was advertising I thought …

Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Episode 1.15: Trespass
Why oh why did they bother writing this episode? Or more so, what is the point of ‘filler’ episodes like this one? If you know you’re gonna have empty spaces in your TV show’s season, why make extra space for episodes? Anyway, “Trespass” has one of those characters in …
The Office: The Coup
Dwight from The Office is one of my favorite characters ever. Usually when a character is annoying on a television show the actually annoy me, but Dwight is different. Perhaps it’s the reactions of everyone else or the fact that the things he does are more socially inept that …
Home Improvement: Young at Heart
It’s good working half days for a week because I get to see some shows I might not get a chance to see when I’m working all day (too bad that starts next week). One of the shows, Home Improvement, is one I’ve missed a bit.
The episode that showed …

Well, that was an episode of Mork & Mindy I haven’t seen before. Mork Goes Erk is a great episode and one I would recommend watching if you’ve never seen the show before.

Law & Order SVU: Spooked.
OK, last night’s SVU episode, Spooked, was one of the most predictable episodes I’ve seen.
First, you have the rape/murder of two people in an alley that turns out to be drug related because the woman was smuggling drugs in her breast implants (ouch, but I guess that is a …

TV’s 50 Funniest Phrases
Tonight NBC aired TV’s 50 Funniest Phrases, a celebration of the best 50 phrases in TV history. What I liked about this show is that they ultimately admitted it was a mainstream 50 phrases. Going in and out of commercials, for example, they’d give the top 3 …
The Game Season 4 TV show
The Game Season 4 aired on the BET network in January 2011. This is the fourth season in production of this show and I for one am glad that BET brought it back for another season. The Game is a sitcom about football wives and husbands. It follows a …
Here Come the Brides: Marriage, Chinese Style

Fireball XL5: The Robot Freighter Mystery
Of the 39 episodes filmed of this children’s show, The Robot Freighter Mystery is one of the few that I don’t react to with lots of love. Fireball XL5 is just awesome as a series. Some of the stories have been very dramatic and realistic in their …
True Blood Season 3 Episode 10 “I smell a rat”

Brooke Knows Best (VH1 network TV show)

Mr. Monk Makes the Playoffs
While I appreciate USA Network trying to put a football theme behind it’s more popular shows this weekend in honor of the Super Bowl, I’m not sure the Monk episode “Mr. Monk Makes the Playoffs” is really all that good.
I’m not sure what exactly the problem was but I …
Supernatural Season 4
I’ve been a die-hard fan of Supernatural for four years now, watching it religiously since it first started in 2005.

While the story has since deviated from the original premise, delving deeper into the characters’ lives over the …
