MSNTV 2
This unit is definitely way better than the previous WebTv. Don’t get me wrong, I still have my old WebTv. The only reason I keep it is for nostalgia, not usability. It is still too slow. I was able to connect my MSNTV 2 to my broadband network …
Back at the Barnyard
I normally don’t mind my daughter watching shows on Nickelodean. But, I have to say I’m not a huge fan of the show Back at the Barnyard; a feeling that hasn’t changed from day one.
Fortunately for me, my daughter is already tired of the show because it means I …

Birds of Prey TV show episode 2: Slick
The pilot for this series was a mixed bag. There was a lot of stuff that I really liked and stuff that I felt was either unwelcome or unnecessary. This episode is a bit more consistent and balanced and it ends up working both for and against …

Laguna Beach Season Three
The Season premier of Laguna Beach, Season Three, was an absolute disappointment. I am not ashamed to say I fell in love with the first two seasons, being swept each season premier. Season three, however, does not show much promise of conflict, or developing relationships that the viewer can …
Rob and Big MTV show
The other day I was watching mtv and this show came on. I watched a couple episodes of it. It’s a lot better than I thought it was going to be. I just kind of ended up watching it because I was bored. Now I watch it whenever I …
Unsolved Mysteries
I like to watch the tv show “Unsolved Mysteries” I think this show was one of the first actual “reality shows” although they use reenactments.

Mirai Nikki (Future Diary) Anime/Animated Series
First and foremost, it should be noted that this anime series can easily unnerve some people. There is a plethora of psychotic moments and gore, injuries and deaths littering the series. The plot itself can seem wicked, especially the main characters.
It is a tale of a game of survival …
666 Park Avenue (Tv Series)

CSI New York Season 3 Episode 2- Not What It Looks Like

The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 20: Humbug
This episode was certainly a drastic shift from others that had come before it. While humor would occasionally spring its head in the form of some deadpan quipping or a funny comment from Frohike, we never really saw it manifest itself to this extent. Even more impressive …
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: Jack Benny TV Show
Jack Benny was the Man of the Week for this edition of The Dean Martin Comedy Hour. Benny was a hoot, a terrific comedian and actor. I thought he was great and always enjoyed watching him. He was definitely worth being one of this show’s honorees.

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Sqweegel TV Show
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Sqweegel is yet another story about a serial killer on the loose. There is something that makes this one different, but it sure feels like CSI is having troubles coming up with new tales to tell.

Pokemon (TV Show) - Clefairy and the Moonstone (Episode)

Family Guy TV Episode: Family Goy

This episode meant well, but …
Whoopi: The Fat and the Frivolous TV Show

Johnny Depp on David Letterman Show

Medium: How to Kill a Good Guy TV Show
Medium: How to Kill a Good Guy is a bit of a transitional show, which is sad really. That’s because it’s the episode where Ariel DuBois is about to head off to college. This is a huge loss, not just for the family, but for we the …
Seven days Season 2 episode 4
Among all the Seven days episodes that I have seen I must admit that this one is one of the better ones. It’s about humanity and impossibility to do what you think is the right thing to do.The beginning looks like the cheap scary movie beginnings, rain, thunder, graveyard, …
