The Big Bang Theory (Tv Series)

Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Neutral Zone

Chuck
Chuck has to be my favorite show to hit television in the 2007/2008 season. I am the kind of person who watches a lot of Television so I think I have a pretty good idea of what goes over well with America’s audiences.

Stargate SG-1: 200
Stargate SG-1: 200 was the celebration of Stargate SG-1’s two-hundredth episode and unlike the show done for number 100 which was for the crew, this one was more for the fans. An important thing to point out, per the producers, is that this show really doesn’t happen. …
Bones: Death in the Saddle

The eleventh episode in the series, “Dooku Captured”, takes a bit of a more lighthearted and comedic approach to it unlike the previous two episodes (”Cloak of Darkness” and “Lair of Grevious”) but does manage to remain interesting at the same time.

Smallville Season 7 episode 13

Shroud for a Nightingale - Part 2

Felix the Cat in Neptune Nonsense cartoon

Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer: 9-17-10 TV Show
Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer from September 17, 2010 was another disastrous TV show. There is just so little of interest in this hour.
