I have mixed feelings about the show Big Brother. Sometimes I like the show and sometimes I can’t stand it. For those of you who do not know about Big Brother, it is a reality TV show, where 12 people go into this house and the whole nation watches …

I find the TV reality show Trading Spouses truly awesome. Actually, I have a very bad impression of the show when I initially started watching, but after some time, I’ve gotten the message of the show and noticing how some families featured are indeed having a bigger problem issue …

The Andy Griffith Show: Ellie for Council is another terrific program from this legendary family show. As the title indicates, it’s all about Ellie Walker (Elinor Donahue) running for City Council in Mayberry. That’s something the men folk aren’t thrilled about at first. Here are a few …

The robust man who starred as private eye Cannon and who had the wonderful voice, William Conrad, was the honoree for this issue of The Dean Martin Comedy Hour. He was the Man of the Week, the one who took the heat delivered by the various roasters of …

My wife decided she would rather talk to her pretend friends on Facebook last night than spend any time with me so I turned on another re-run of the show Psych that I had not seen before. This time around, it was the season 3 episode Disco Didn’t Die, …

I took the day off yesterday to spend it with the kids and, because I was trying to get my youngest to take a nap (while rocking with her in the rocking chair), I ended up flipping channels and came across an Andy Griffith Show re-run entitled The Beauty …

Episode 3 of 1987’s science fiction comedy series, Out of This World, is called The Nightmare. It’s an appropriate title since teenager Evie Garland (Maureen Flannigan) spends most of the show fretting about her nightmare. Evie is half-alien (as in out of this world, father from another …

Wow, this was a really interesting and unique episode of Castle. This is the beauty of this show, only they can make an episode like that believable, any other crime show would have looked ridiculous trying to pull off a story about a superhero who slices people right in …

The ITV ‘Tonight’ programme subtitled ‘How to Save a Grand in a Day’ is presented by popular television financial expert Martin Lewis and it aired tonight. I am already quite a fan of Mr Lewis as he is always very enthusiastic in giving his easy to digest advice …

I just love this channel! Actually this is a new additional channel from our cable television service provider. At first, I thought it was a quite boring channel because I had the idea that it only shows people in the past and, what do I …

The CW racks up points for triflingness again with sitcom “The Game.” Featuring one of the Mowry twins, Wendy Raquel Robinson, and a few unnamed actors, this show is actually incredibly popular. I have even seen blogs on Mediatakeout.com wherein people were trying to save this show …

My daughter loves watching Spongebob Squarepants. So, when we found out there was a television movie coming out called Atlantis SquarePantis, we made sure to watch it. Overall, it was an OK show but really wasn�t anything special.
The �movie� featured Spongebob and his friends discovering the lost city of …

This episode was great; it had a lot of interesting things going on in …

I almost turned this episode off half-way through. I was just sick with the thought of Brian selling himself out like he did in this episode. He has always been so strong, so passionate about his views, and his integrity. Suddenly, he’s …

Burn Notice: Bad Breaks is a so-so episode in my book. It’s not one that really zings my interest button, but there is some decent acting and a somewhat interesting plot. It might be more fun for regular fans of the show, people who watched it during …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Taffeta Mayor, a second season entry for this half-hour, black and white western series from the late 50’s, was a decent episode that surprised me in dealing a bit with women’s rights in a serious and dramatic fashion. The show was filmed …

I absolutely loved the new episode of CSI- Crime Scene Investigation Season 12 Episode 1. The episode had a really good story, but the main reason why it was so good was the addition of a new character on the show. DB Russell, the new team leader, played by …

I watched the Oscar’s on Sunday night, and I was kind of disappointed. For one thing, I didn’t really like lining up all the contenders like it was an episode of American Idol or something.
The fashion was kind of lacking in some areas, as well. The men looked …

Stargate SG-1: Lockdown is one of the best episodes of season eight; in fact, of all of the latter seasons of the show. It’s full of good stuff.
In this story, Anubis has made his way to Earth and ends up taking over different people’s bodies. The problem …

The second season seems to be proving itself as a worthy successor to the first so far. Corey Haim takes a big step in the right direction by making apologies to everyone he’s ever worked with or known that he’s burnt bridges with. He does this by putting a …

Fireball XL5: Robert to the Rescue gives us something new yet again, and that’s really a neat thing about this puppet series for kids that aired back in 1962-1963. The powers that be kept doing different things, featuring characters in varying situations and whatnot. It’s variety that often …

The Fall Guy: That’s Right, We’re Bad has that classic bit that ends up included in the opening theme, where Colt Seavers (Lee Majors) is trying to take a bath and everyone under the sun keeps coming in. It’s humorous. There’s a reason for it, of course, …

A Man Called Hawk: If Memory Serves has an interesting premise, one I haven’t quite seen before, at least not in this type of presentation. The story revolves around Alex Chavin (Paul Butler), a Haitian man who remembers everything he hears and reads. It’s not a photographic …

Can a number bring thrill and suspense to television viewers? I’d like to think so and 24 has done a very good job at that.
24 is an action-drama series that has spanned seven seasons already. It stars Keifer Sutherland as the famous (or infamous) Jack Bauer as a …

As far as episodes of Bones go, “The Skull in the Sculpture” was one of the most predictable episodes I’ve seen. I took a wild guess just minutes into the show about who the killer was and was surprisingly right; though I didn’t know the motive.
In fact, everything about …

I have really fallen in love with this show. I like seeing the different ways that “amateurs” cook, and love the ingenuity that they have to use when they’re provided the ingredients they must use for their dishes. I like in particular, the contests in which …

The most dramatic moment comes when Sam’s dying father actually becomes a Tok’ra, allowing a symbiote to join with him. We first met Jacob in the Secrets episode and that’s …

I am addicted to watching Law and Order SVU. I think mainly because I know the stories are based on actual case files in New York. It goes to show you how sick some people can be. The crew all work so well together that you …
