I have always loved watching funny shows; I think it is a good stress buster. In the Philippines, gag shows and funny shows, and even sitcoms have become really few these days; mostly people have concentrated on getting Korean novellas, and foreign shows. If not, locally produced shows are …

CHiPs: Repo Man features Mills Watson as the repo man. In other words, he’s in the repossession business. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have a lot of tact and he does a lot of underhanded things to get the job done. Quite honestly, I’ve never enjoyed Watson as …

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.

OK, I like some Family Guy episodes and don’t like others as much. That’s going to be true about most series. But, some episodes of this show like “Barely Legal” are just a bit disturbing.
