Telus Digital Cable
After using Shaw Digital Cable for the past year, we were offered a great rate to switch to Telus Digital Cable. Seeing as our phone, long distance and internet are already contracted onto Telus for another three years, we decided to add the Digital Cable package as well.

Mr. Monk Makes the Playoffs
While I appreciate USA Network trying to put a football theme behind it’s more popular shows this weekend in honor of the Super Bowl, I’m not sure the Monk episode “Mr. Monk Makes the Playoffs” is really all that good.
I’m not sure what exactly the problem was but I …
Sliders - The Good, the Bad and the Wealthy
All right, this is a pretty silly episode. The idea of a world where Texas runs America and lawyers decide who wins a case through the barrel of a gun isn’t exactly the most realistic of scenarios. However it is a bit of good fun and when …
Batman: The Brave and the Bold: The color of revenge!
This episode is unique in a lot of ways. A lot of the episodes have Batman team up with a different DC superhero. This one has him team up with Robin. Also, the cold opens usually act as their own mini-episode. While that’s the …
House TV Episode: Two Stories
Synopsis: House participates in a school’s career day and winds up sent to the principal’s office.
What I liked about this episode: The flashbacks were a bit hard to follow at times but I think they did improve what would have otherwise been a very boring episode. After all, without …

That 70s Show TV Episode: Street Fighting Man
I got home about 5:30 yesterday evening and decided to put on a re-run of That 70s Show while waiting for the Simpsons to come on. It turned out that re-run was one of the funniest episodes from any series that I have ever seen.
The episode, called Street Fighting …

QVC
Oh my. I am only in my late 20s but I am already addicted to this channel. My mom started watching it after dad died, and I got hooked. I love watching all of the stuff about makeup and how to put it on. I love when Bare Minerals …
The Closer TV Episode: Makeover
I have never been a bit fan of the show The Closer. I never really found anything about it I didn’t like. I just think there are too many cop shows on TV now and can only watch so many without feeling a bit burnt out.
However, I didn’t turn …

Hogan’s Heroes TV Episode: Praise the Fuehrer and Pass the Ammunition
I was able to watch a couple Hogan’s Heroes episodes at lunch today, including one called “Praise the Fuehrer and Pass the Ammunition.” This episode was somewhat funny, but honestly could have been better.
The main point of this episode is Hogan and his men are hoping to switch live …

Stargate SG-1: Frozen
For some reason, I like this season six episode more than the other ones before it so far. Maybe it’s the intrigue of the White Rock Research Station in Antarctica. That’s a new one for the team, and it’s kind of interesting.
I like the Ayiana character, a …
Big Brother: Finale Part 1 9-9-10 TV Show
The first episode of the two part Big Brother finale from its twelfth season aired on September 9, 2010. The show picked up where the previous one had ended, which was in the middle of an adventurous Head Of Household competition. Actually, it’s the first part of …

Glee TV series
I love Glee! I have always loved watching musicals and when something like this came out, I immediately saw to it that I watch the first TV show they aired.
I have been watching it ever since and has really enjoyed watching the Glee cast being introduced to the public. …
Big Bang Theory: The Financial Permeability
In this episode of Big Bang theory you get to see one of Sheldon’s personality quirks which doesn’t make you want to punch him. He is generous, at least with a loan. The fact that he acted completely contrary to how you would expect is one of the things …
Rules of Engagement
I don’t get a lot of time to watch television so I usually don’t get a chance to check out new shows until they’ve been on the air a while.
Last night happened to be one of those nights and I came across the CBS show Rules of Engagement.
While I …
War and Remembrance: A Living History TV Show
War and Remembrance: A Living History aired a couple of weeks prior to the showing of War and Remembrance, the massive mini-series which continued the story of the Henry family from The Winds of War.

Stargate Atlantis: The Seed
As folks who know me are aware, I’m not a big fan of Stargate Atlantis for many reasons, not the least of which is that I hold it responsible for the deterioration of quality on Stargate SG-1. Now that I’ve said that up front, here are both the …
Naruto Episode 26 Subbed
This is the first episode of Naruto that is completely pointless, obnoxious, and downright nauseating. In my many rewatches of the show I always skip this episode. Instead of continuing the story this episode has Konohamaru and his two friends show up at the location of the second exam …
One Tree Hill
I love the show One Tree Hill. It has been a favorite of mine since the first show started. I own seasons one and two on DVD. If I ever have some extra money I will buy the next seasons on DVD. I love all of the characters and …
The Twilight Zone: What You Need TV Show
The Twilight Zone: What You Need is one of the most memorable episodes of this TV series. The reason it works so well is thanks to Ernest Truex, who plays the peddler. He has the ability to sense what a person needs and offers it up to …
South Park - Crippled Summer
Just this title told me that it had something to do with either Timmy or Jimmy. While I like both characters, having just episodes about them have been hit and miss episodes in general. They haven’t really come up to par with …
Dawson’s Creek Season 6 Episode 602 The Song Remains the Same
The Song Remains the Same, Episode 602, opens with Joey and Dawson in bed, kissing after a night of love-making. And then when Joey wakes up Dawson is walking in with coffee and roses that he picked for her. It’s a really sweet scene, but there is something that …
Law & Order SVU: Hothouse
I can tell you exactly how you can tell when a show has jumped the shark and it might be time to put it out of its misery; when you watch a brand new episode and you feel you’ve seen it before.
The Law & Order SVU episode “Hothouse” is …
Columbo: The Most Dangerous Match TV Show
Not every show, even that of a series you love a lot, not be of interest to everyone all the time. Sometimes, there are those that bore or for whatever reason just don’t lure a person in. Such is the case for me with Columbo: The Most …

Blackarachnia wants to become a transmetal II, but when Silverbolt interrupts, thinking …
M*A*S*H: O.R.
M*A*S*H: O.R. is aptly named because the show is thirty minutes of operating room scenes. It’s a long stretch of emergency surgery that is featured in this half hour episode from the third season of this show about the Korean War. Oddly, this series outlasted the true …
The Twilight Zone: I Shot an Arrow into the Air TV Show
From season one, The Twilight Zone: I Shot an Arrow into the Air is a decent show, but perhaps it is the ironic and tragic fate of the story’s characters that puts me off. It’s not really one that has a happy ending, and I’m not into melancholy at …
Chappelles Show - TV Show

The Next Food Network Star
I should have known that the reality TV contest world would benefit from a show in which the best amateur chef will become the next TV star. I would imagine that some of these people entered the competition merely because they want to get their foot in …
Mr.Bean
Mr.Bean is one of my favorite comedy shows. Bean is very impressive with his performance and his creativity is exceptional. Each episode has two to three short plots of around 5- 10 minutes each and theyentertain you thoroughly . His comic timing is perfect, and his face expressions are …
The Real Ghostbusters episode 23: The Old College Spirit
This is another episode where I could see what the writers were going for, but the execution was lacking. It opens with a fraternity being framed by ghosts for various pranks. They decide to hire the Ghostbusters to take care of it. Venkman’s against it initially, …
A Certain Justice - Part 1
I don’t watch a lot of PBS (Public Broadcasting System) shows and never have. I just didn’t grow up watching the dramas too much, probably because so much of it is British and the culture was strange to me as a child. I didn’t know what they …
The Sing-Off: Night Two
The second night of The Sing-Off brought us more acapella numbers from diverse groups throughout the country. I lament that the program wasn’t aired live and instead was taped. It really took away from that spontaneous feel.
Noteworthy tried to perform a song by Cold Play, but it …
CSI New York Season 2 Episode 16 Cool Hunter
Although the episode was well written and well executed I was still left with the feeling that it was a bit stupid. The reason why I feel that way, were the crimes themselves, just a sense of human pettiness and stupidity. But then again, it might have been just …
Ben 10 Episode: Lucky Girl
This morning while looking at television and flipping through channels I saw one of my favourite cartoons being shown. On Cartoon Network there is a cartoon named Ben 10. In this cartoon a kid on vacation with his grandpa and cousin happens upon an alien “watch” whose correct name …

The Twilight Zone: Black Leather Jackets TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Black Leather Jackets is a show that actually misleads a little bit. I always go into to this show and think it’s going to be one thing and then it turns out to be another. The Black Leather Jacket titles can really spin you …
