I’ve never really been the type of person to watch television soap operas, since I’ve never had much interest in them. I can remember specifically that back when I was in high school there was a group of girls who would watch these series and then talk about them …

When I first came across the Bones episode “Death in the Saddle” I figured it would involve a murder of some sort of horse enthusiast. Boy, was I surprised when it was an episode about a sexual fetish.
Now, I’m far from being a prude when it comes to sex, …

Let me start off by saying that I am a very happy that most of the big TV networks have sites that allow you to watch a good deal of their programing on the net. I still watch regular TV but there are a number of times that programs …

Well, I have to admit, after watching last night’s House episode “Tyrant” I was left wondering whether or not the title really pertained to this week’s patient on the show or if it was talking more about the doctors who treated him.
First of all, I have to give a …

I’ve said before that I’m really tired of drug stories on police shows. I am, and a close second to that plot line are shows that revolve around or include gang stories. While I fully understand that it’s part of our culture, every show has done one, if not …

I honestly believed that the absolute last thing this world needed was another doctor show. I have honestly always found doctor shows boring due to the fact that they are entirely set within hospitals which just do not provide an aesthetically pleasing view of scenery. I can’t stand watching …

This episode treats the Simpsons family as a real family and takes you behind the scenes …

As I think I mentioned before, I was afraid the new character Ramon would end up creating some stupid story lines that would make the show Emperor’s New School less entertaining than it was before. And, unfortunately, the episode “Show me the Monkey” was one of those episodes that …

Well, everyone knows you can’t have any sort of television series that takes place at a high school without having at least one episode dedicated to the Prom. The thing about Buffy the Vampire Slayer though, is the episode about the prom, fittingly entitled “The Prom” at least adds …

One of my biggest guilty pleasures is watching series about people’s experiences with the supernatural, especially during Halloween time. The problem that I’ve had with many of these series though is that they’re extremely trite, hard to believe and not scary at all. I started watching Paranormal Witness because not …

For me, Chase: Paranoia was pretty intense, though that wasn’t necessarily a positive. In some ways, this episode felt like a rerun, not of this new series, of course, but of other shows and movies I’ve seen. That doesn’t mean it was not an enjoyable watch; it …
