I tuned into channel 24 out of Milwaukee yesterday afternoon expecting to see a re-run of That 70s show. In fact, that’s what was showing on the guide part of the screen (and online). Instead, however, was a re-run of the show Fresh Prince.
I didn’t really mind this too …

M*A*S*H: A War for All Seasons
M*A*S*H: A War for All Seasons goes through the year1951 told in one thirty-minute show, which further points out how crazy it is that this show lasted almost five times the length of the actual war, which went from 1950-1953. This would mean that the first eight seasons …

The Black Tower - Part 1
Keeping in mind that I’ve been given several of these DVDs about the adventures and cases of Commander Adam Dalgliesh of New Scotland Yard, I’m watching them in no logical sense of order. It’s like going back and forth in time. As a result, the first thing …
Desperate Housewives Season 5 Episode 1

The Twilight Zone: Number 12 Looks Just Like You TV Show
In my opinion, The Twilight Zone: Number 12 Looks Just Like You is one of the few bright spots in this final season of Rod Serling’s classic science fiction series. It’s sad that so many shows from this fifth year are duds. This one, however, is not. …
Recess
Recess was a pretty good Disney cartoon that was really funny. The thing I really liked about this show, is that the characters were people instead of animals, which Disney is known for. I think that this show is very good and really used to like the plot. The …
Kyle XY: In the Company of Men
I haven’t’ been watching Kyle XY long, and I had began to fear that this show was a teenage soap opera with a science fiction backdrop, and it may be, but this week at least was less that way. It was still mostly about relationships but there was less …

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Killed by Death
If you’re looking for something creepy to watch and don’t necessarily want to watch a movie, I would really recommend seeing the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “Killed by Death.”

I was flipping channels last night waiting for my wife’s show, Project Runway, to come on. And, I ended up coming across a re-run of the show Monk; Mr. Monk and the Earthquake. Since there wasn’t anything better that I could find (despite paying for 250 channels), I ended …
Beast Wars - Other Visits, Part 1

The Twilight Zone: Hocus-Pocus and Frisby TV Show
Sitting around, chatting, and listening to fanciful tall tales. That’s the delight and center of The Twilight Zone: Hocus-Pocus and Frisby from 1962. It’s a fun story that includes some harmless stories and some naive aliens, as in aliens from outer space.
Here are a few thoughts about …

True Blood: Season One tv show

Home Improvement
With the lack of funny shows on television, I sometimes have to go back a few years in time and rely heavily on re-runs of shows from the 80s and 90s.
One of the shows that is on in syndication and never gets old is Home Improvement.
Tim Allen hasn�t had …
Law and Order Special Victims Unit (Bad Blood) Episode
I thought this episode of Law and Order SVU was a little bit more than interesting. It was also educational in my eyes, as before watching it, I was not aware that some psychiatrists thought that sometimes bad behaviour and qualities were genetic. Nevertheless, despite watching the episode which …
Eureka TV show
