Glee 201- Auditions
After hearing my friends praise Glee, the musical television show, for the past year or so, when Glee came back on television, I decided to give it a try. I had a general idea of what went on last season plot-wise, so it wasn’t too hard for me to …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Pilot Part 2
Emerald Point N.A.S. was more soap opera than military drama, and I think I have always regretted that. I knew that it is what it would be all along, but I was hoping for more guts and glory than extramarital affairs and scheming. As the second part …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Hunted
Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Hunted is an episode that is not quite as powerful or meaningful as “The High Ground” is, however, it too speaks of an important message that is worthy of being discussed and not simply cast aside. It is a relevant message and …
Entourage show
I watched a couple of shows, until I finally realized I don’t much like it. In fact, I don’t understand all the hype about this show. It’s shallow, the cast are like two bit actors who’ve never heard of acting workshops, and the storyline isn’t at all fantastic.
This show …
Stargate SG-1: Orpheus
The next episode of Stargate SG-1 in season seven is Orpheus. Now, I have an issue with the final scene, and that issue keeps me from watching this episode as often as I would otherwise. The other thing is that this show refers to Daniel’s ascension, and …

I am a big fan of the whole Dragonball series, and I have all the series in DVD. Whatever, when I heard that Dragonball is coming alive, and a movie is in making, then I was very curious. When the movie released I was pretty much excited to see …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Deadly Dolls TV Show

Saw IV
Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much from this installment of the Saw series. I mean, a fourth? What were they thinking? There’s only so much you can do with this story line!
Pleasantly surprised, I found out I was wrong. This is actually my favorite of all …

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered

M*A*S*H: The Price of Tomato Juice
There are a few notable things about M*A*S*H: The Price of Tomato Juice from the fourth season of the medical comedy series. First, it’s just the fun of watching Radar O’Reilly (Gary Burghoff) trying to work some magic and get Colonel Potter (Harry Morgan) tomato juice for breakfast …

TV Series Modern Family “Caught in the Act”

Firefly used to be a television show on the Sci-Fi Channel. I began watching this series when I rented the movie Serenity from Netflix and realized it was the finale of the tv show Firefly. This show is very wild west meets space smuggler. I love …
Star Trek’s Divine Diva: Nichelle Nichols featurette
Star Trek’s Divine Diva: Nichelle Nichols featurette was a very nice look at the wonderful actress who brought Star Trek’s communication officer, Uhura, to life.
One thing that has always struck me about Nichelle is how much she cared about what she was doing. She doesn’t talk about it …

Psych : Lights, Camera, Homicidio
While this episode of Psych wasn’t quite as good as many others, I will admit Lights, Camera, Homicidio was a cute one.

House: Private Lives
When I first saw the description of Monday’s House episode “Private Lives,” I thought it was going to be similar to another episode we have seen on the show, where a person uses the internet to get an alternative diagnosis.

The …

Adam-12: Log 135: Arson
Watching Adam-12: Log 135: Arson reminds me a lot of what I’ve been hearing in the news lately. Studies show that human recollection of an observed event really isn’t as wonderful as was once thought. What we witness changes in our minds. That’s why many believe …
CSI Miami Horatio Caine
Think of a land of glitz and glamour. Beautiful women, sun, sea and glorious sunsets. High rise tower blocks overlooking a harbour lined with millionaire’s yachts. A playboy’s paradise overflowing with the excesses of the rich and famous. Imagine the picture. And in the centre of it stands a …
M*A*S*H: Bottle Fatigue
I was really happy to see M*A*S*H: Bottle Fatigue come along towards the end of the eighth season of this astounding comedy series. There is an earlier episode where they’d had a chance to really deal with alcoholism, but didn’t. It left me with a bad taste. …

I haven’t been able to watch the show Hogan’s Heroes on TV Land recently but finally got a chance to watch an episode of it today. And, it turned out to be an episode I hadn’t seen before; “The Well.”
Overall, I feel this episode is one of the better …
Max Headroom: Lessons TV show
The topic of Max Headroom: Lessons has to do in part with censorship, including the use of profanity. Now that’s a still relevant issue that continues to be controversial in our true reality.

The 36th Annual People’s Choice Awards
There was a time when I wouldn’t miss this awards show, but as Hollywood changed and what America watched changed, I lost interest. It never got as bad as the American Music Awards, but it came close sometimes. The thing about this particular awards show is that …
Mr. Monk Goes to Group Therapy
I’m a bit torn about tonight’s Monk episode “Mr. Monk Goes to Group Therapy.”
On one hand, the episode proved to be somewhat funny. Monk is no longer receiving insurance reimbursement for private therapy sessions and the only way he can continue to see his therapist is by joining a …
Gisele Bundchen on Ellen Talk Show
I like Gisele Bundchen’s accent so much. If you have the chance to catch the episode on Ellen Talk Show, featuring Gisele Bundchen, you have to not give this a miss.
Although I have read somewhere that she is a strict person and all that, I do think that she …
Psyh television series
Psych is a comedy television series that comes from time to time on the American cable television channel USA. I think that it is funny sometimes because the main character, Shawn Spencer is very silly, and does a lot of deceiving people in order to accomplish his detective work. …
