Masquerade: The French Correction
Masquerade: The French Correction is a pretty decent entry for this hour-long spy that hit the TV screen back in March 1984. However, one of the bad things is that they failed to create new ways of explaining the story. In the beginning, Lavender (Rod Taylor) always …
Teen Wolf: Season 2 TV show
My girlfriend was bored a few weeks back, and she found herself perusing Netflix for a movie to stream. She stumbled upon the television program Teen Wolf, and our two week addiction ensued.
I was hooked from the first episode I watched, which was the fourth episode into the …
Steve Wilkos Show
If I wanted to cheer for a bully, I’d visit a street corner on skid row and watch bad boys beat up on helpless derelicts, at least I could feel that they were “conflicted” jerks.
I don’t know if I’m more pissed at the dysfunctional guests or Steve Wilkos …
The Simpsons: Homer the Whopper
One of the shows we ended up watching Sunday night was the Simpson’s season premiere “Homer the Whopper.”
This one wasn’t too bad of an episode even though I do think the newer episodes just don’t seem to live up to the older ones. Homer gets a chance to play …
The Beast - Nadia
The third episode of A&E’s series, The Beast, is called Nadia, and once again, I’m intrigued.
Patrick Swayze’s Charles Barker character continues to excite. He’s natural and at ease with the part. His actions and movements are subtle and well timed. He’s a veteran performer, and it …
That 70s Show: Killer Queen
Well, that was a somewhat interesting episode of That 70s Show last night, “Killer Queen.”
Valentine’s Day is a few weeks away yet but they decided to air a Valentine’s Day episode that proved to be quite funny.
My favorite part of this episode was involving Red and Kitty and the …

Top Gear on BBC America
Would you rather win the lottery, or be given a job as host of Top Gear? For me, I’d take the job. I haven’t seen the American version of the show on the History channel yet, but the British version of Top Gear has to be the best thing …
Project Runway Season 2
I really enjoyed the first season of Project Runway, and have been pretty happy lately because one of the channels that I get has been rerunning Project Runway’s second season from beginning to end.

My So Called Life

The Secret Life Of The American Teenager

CSI: New York: Sangre por Sangra TV Show
CSI: New York: Sangre por Sangra just isn’t my kind of show. These gang stories are a dime a dozen, and there rarely is any kind of new spin to them. For me, the hour was drudgery. Basically, a gang leader is murdered and the CSI …
CSI: New York: Point of View TV Show
I’ve always wanted to like CSI: New York because Gary Sinese is such a talented, dynamic actor. I actually do like, but I’ve never been hooked into it. I watched it more the first season when Sinese’s character was more in mourning over his wife, who had …

Rozerem (TV ad)
While watching television, I happened upon a commercial where a man is seated at his kitchen table with Abraham Lincoln, and what looks to be a groundhog, but is actually a beaver. In the rear, facing the sink (presumably washing dishes) is what looks like an astronaut. …

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 18 (Anime)

This episode was very interesting and it gives Aramaki more character development as we learn more about him. …
Stargate SG-1: Absolute Power
Stargate SG-1: Absolute Power is an excellent show, though not a personal favorite. It’s another one of the stories that deals with Abydos remnants and references to Oma DeSala, whom I strongly detest. So, while it’s good, it’s not a favorite.
That said, Michael Shanks gets to utilize those …
TV : Dead Like Me

The Tyra Banks Show
The Tyra Banks Show stars ex-supermodel, Tyra Banks. Evidently Miss Tyra is taking her fame and fortune to help other people. That is what I�ve witnessed when I see episodes of this show. Tyra hosts celebrities but it seems more than anything, she features real people who have done …

Bones: The Foot in the Foreclosure
I only got to watch maybe 3/4ths of the show Bones last night (I missed the first few minutes of it) but, from what I saw, it wasn’t too bad of an episode.
Booth and Brennan investigated a double homicide that first appeared to be one person burned to death …
Snoops: Twice Dead TV Show
Margaret Avery and Stephen Elliott guest starred in the Twice Dead episode of the short-lived TV series called Snoops. In fact, it didn’t even last an entire season. I’m not surprised because I was pretty bored by the whole thing. The only unique thing about this …

M*A*S*H: Abyssinia, Henry
Season three comes to a tragic close with M*A*S*H: Abyssinia, Henry. I remember this episode so well, and the plot has long been documented by the producers as to why the story evolved as it did. What this show should have been entitled is, “McLean, What On …
Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman

Full House Season 2
I fully admit that I own every season of Full House on DVD, even though special features are sadly lacking. The second season is when the show began picking up, and when it started to find its footing.
As much as I love the show, even I have to …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Submarine Sunk Here TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Submarine Sunk Here, the tenth program of the first year, was spellbinding for its first quarter. I sat transfixed on the screen. The action was intense and dramatic. In fact, I’ll go so far to say it was gripping.

Tuesday Weld is the main reason for watching this show. The Fugitive: Dark Corner is all about the Weld’s character of Mattie Braydon, a blonde sex-kitten type of gal who is spoiled and conniving. Oddly, she’s blind in this story, which makes her come off as sweet …

Buzz Aldrin’s debut on Dancing With The Stars season 10

Nanny Daddy is a local TV drama serial that I’m watching currently and it’s reaching its finale episodes pretty soon. It stars the ever charming Adrian Pang and the character lady Aihua, which I don’t really know her real name.

Comediennes Jo Brand, and the lesser known Jo Scanlan and Vicki Pepperdine bring us a satirical look at the day to day workings of a modern NHS hospital.
