The Twilight Zone: The Fugitive TV Show
While there is drama in The Twilight Zone: The Fugitive, it’s the fun element that I enjoy. This is a playful, endearing, happy ever after type of story, and that’s just my style.

Scrubs: Our White Coats

From the Earth to the Moon - Part 9: For Miles and Miles
It’s funny to me that my least favorite parts of From the Earth to the Moon all air close together. Part 6, Part 8, and now Part 9 are the three that are not on my favorites list. This would be my third least favorite outing, and …

Ice Road Truckers: Lisa’s Monster Megahaul TV Show

The Twilight Zone: The Masks TV Show
From March 1964, The Twilight Zone: The Masks is another show that I’m not that fond of. This last season of The Twilight Zone was full of sub par outings that had no real joy in watching them. This one actually isn’t as bad as the shows …

True Blood Television show

Grey’s Anatomy Television show
Talk about great surprises! I was reluctant to watch this show; there are so many medical shows out there. However, I was greatly surprised when I watched Grey’s Anatomy. The show has fantastic character development on top of the appealing storylines. Grey’s Anatomy sets a …

Two And A Half Men: The Flavin’ And The Mavin’
“The Flavin’ And The Mavin’” was a decent episode of the CBS sit-com Two And A Half Men, although the one-liners were not as clever as they usually are, and the ending of the episode was not going to be a surprise to anyone. I will give you …

House: One Day, One Room
You know, I usually like episodes of House, no matter how corny they are. But, I have to say, even though I should have liked the episode “One Day, One Room,” I really found myself not enjoying it.

Merlin’s Apprentice is not a sequel to the original 1998 Hallmark production,Merlin,which also starred Sam Neil in the title role and Miranda Richardson in the supporting cast. The 1998 Merlin is one of the few film interpretations of the Authurian legend that I like,and I also have always …
CSI New York Season 3 Episode 7 - Murder Sings the Blues
That was a strange episode and I really liked it. I wonder if those things are based on real things that happen in New York City or is it just a pure imagination. I guess to come up with something believable you have to base it on something real, …
House: Adverse Events
It was kind of strange watching a House episode without character James Wilson having at least a small part in it; as was the case with the episode Adverse Events. I certainly hope they aren’t writing him off the show completely and he’ll be back soon. It’s just not …

The Twilight Zone: The Odyssey of Flight 33 TV Show

Due South: Chicago Holiday: Part 2
Like the beginning of this tale, Due South: Chicago Holiday: Part 2 has about enough dialog in it to fill a half-hour show, if that. It relies heavily on music and the visual aspect of following a matchbook all across the town. The matchbook has a list …
Stargate Atlantis: Enemy at the Gate
And that’s all they wrote for Stargate Atlantis with this last episode, Enemy at the Gate. After just five seasons, the science fiction series was shown the door with a promise for a made-for-DVD movie that to this date shows little sign of being realized; at least, not …
What’s New Scooby Doo: The Vampire Strikes Back
As far as “What’s New Scooby Doo” episodes are concerned, the one entitled “The Vampire Strikes Back” was better than some of the first season episodes I’ve watched.

The episode features the Hex Girls (which I can only assume means …

CSI New York Season 4 Episode 21

Friends Episode: The One with Rachel’s Other Sister
I would have to give 10 points for this Friends Episode: The One with Rachel’s Other Sister. Hilariously funny, because Amy, Rachel’s sister, is not satisfied with Rachel’s mistrust on her taking care of Rachel’s baby Emma. Amy starts to snort beside Rachel and trying to find fault …
