Stargate SG-1: Ascension
Stargate SG-1: Ascension is a bit of a different episode in that we get to see some SG-1 at home, specifically Amanda Tapping’s character of Sam. What’s really nice about this is that Tapping wanted to salute her fans, who had sent her many gifts over the past …

Bones: Intern in the Incinerator
I got home from work yesterday and was watching a repeat of the show Bones on television “Intern in the Incinerator” and have to say this is a pretty impressive episode.

Power Marketing : Upright Citizens Brigade
Power Marketing is probably one of the best remembered of the Upright Citizens Brigade episodes. There is, after all, a lot of memorable stuff in this one (including the whole pennies thing). My favorite part of the episode is actually the Power Marketing sketch, for which the …
CSI Season 6 Episode 20- Poppin’ Tags
This was another excellent episode of the show. Although it was a bit strange and not quite believable, it still was a lot of fun. The thing about it, is that there was much sadness and human tragedy involved, but it wasn’t much the focus of this episode all …
That Girl: Fix My Screen and Bug Out
That Girl: Fix My Screen and Bug Out guest stars Michael Callan, who plays Bobby Miller, the old boyfriend of Ann Marie’s. Callan is a charming man, and he plays a lot of these kind of characters. He’s not a bad guy here by any means. …
Stylista Season 1
After the influence that I got from America’s Next Top Model, I was hooked in watching Tyra’s recently produced TV reality show, “Stylista”. Unlike Top Model wherein Tyra is hosting the show, Stylista has Anne Slowey from Elle Magazine hosting the show. It also stars Joe Zee, creative director …

Family Guy - Season 9
For a show that got canceled twice before, Family Guy had been doing a great job in giving exactly what it had promised, 30 minutes of funny jokes and scenes where you ask yourself what movies they took that from. Yet, …
Highway Patrol: False Confession TV Show
In its fourth year, Highway Patrol presented this show entitled False Confession, which was the eleventh to air in that air.
This December 1958 outing was a little different in the theme. It’s a story they hadn’t done before, and I like that originality. Basically, a woman turns …

Stargate SG-1 followed the adventures of a U.S. Air Force team, titled SG-1, that was assembled to fight evil alien parasites, named Goa’uld, who use humans as hosts and for slave labor. The stargate, an interplanetary portal that was unearthed in the movie, was the team’s sole method …

Gene Simmons Family Jewels
One of the shows that I watch periodically on A&E would have to probably Gene Simmons Family Jewels. The show features the life of the bassist from kiss along with his two kids and girlfriend Shannon Tweed. The show has a corny intro to start it off but …

Project Runway: Lights, Camera, Sew
Last night’s episode of Project Runway was actually kind of cool. The designers were asked to make movie costumes based on a particular genre they were assigned at random. Adding to the difficulty of the challenge was the designers were only given one day to complete their work instead …
QVC
QVC which stands for Quality, value, and cost is a home shopping channel which I like to watch.
I really like “window shopping” that channel. They have some very nice reasonably priced merchandise.
I like all the hosts. I know they are salespeople, but I find they are not as …
My So Called Life
My So-Called Life was a television show in the nineties. When I first saw the show I was about twelve years old and so this show was about the right age range for me.
When I watched My So-Called Life as a little girl I was enthralled. It …
TV show What about Brian

Dancing with the Stars - Results 5/5/09
The results shows for Dancing with the Stars always have a lot of stuff in it that is unrelated to the actual competition itself. This show had a performance by Jamie Collum that was somewhat entertaining. There was also a really neat dance routine, but I didn’t …
Game of Thrones TV series
Recently I was recommended the series “Game of Thrones” by a few other fans of the series “Spartacus”, which airs on the cable television channel Starz. As a result, it has become one of my favourite television series right now, so much that I can barely stop thinking about …

Columbo: An Exercise in Fatality TV Show
An Exercise in Fatality in one of the Columbo episodes I remember very well. It made a strong impression and I never tire of seeing it. Here are a few of the hits and misses for me about this show from season four.
–Robert Conrad is perfect casting …
Justice league Unlimited: Shadow of the Hawk
I don’t know D.C. comics all that well and as such I don’t know if Hawkman and Shayera really are connected or not, but this was an interesting episode either way. Shayera, or Hawkgirl, is approached by a man who claims to have found proof that the Thanagarians were …

Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Bones of Contention
I really wanted to like Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Bones of Contention. First, it started out by indicating it might be a good show about archaeology and anthropology. This happens when Frank Buck (Bruce Boxleitner) and Ali (Clyde Kusatsu) find an archaeologist’s journal. Frank sends it …
Pokemon
I could really sum up this show easily and just call it worth show ever! But Pokemon is a show that really did get on my nerves as a kid. I never really did get the fascination about these tiny monsters who fight each other. I think that this show …
PBS channel
I have been watching this channel for about an year now. As a mom I find this channel excellent for all age groups. This channel promotes healthly habits and good behaviour in kids. It also has programs related to science,adventure and travel. To list the best, they are: Booh-bah,tele-tubbies,zoom,Arthur,Buster,Caillou,Clifford.

Days of Our Lives - Alice Horton’s Demise Week 4 TV Show
Days of Our Lives presented what turned out to be a month’s worth of drama and farewell to their beloved Alice Horton, as played by the late Frances Reid. This is unprecedented in daytime drama. Never before has a soap gone to this extent to celebrate a …
The Dick Van Dyke Show Revisited (2004 Television Special)
The Dick Van Dyke Show Revisited is a 2004 television special. As a fan of the 1960s classic, I remain somewhat undecided about how I feel about this reunion special despite having watched it three or four times. In some respects, this reunion special fails to feel like an …
Law & Order SVU: Smut
Wow, I have to wonder where Law & Order SVU is starting to head at this point. Another episode last night, “Smut” and another hour where I felt kind of bored.
I think this series might have beaten the whole sex crimes thing to death and is running out of …
Cold Case Files on CBS
Having always been a fan of most true crime dramas on the former Court TV, which of course is now known as Tru TV, I immediately liked the show “Cold Case Files” when it aired on CBS.
The show revolves around Detective Lilly Rush, played by Kathryn Morris, her boss, …
The X-Files Fallen Angel Episode

Prison Break Season 1 Episode 18 Bluff
This was a very interesting episode, although it seemed a little bit strange. Somehow it felt like the events were rushed a bit and that things were all of a sudden going to well for the team of prisoners in the story, after such a long time, where things …
Stargate SG-1: The First Ones
Excellency returns to SG-1 in season four. In the midst of ogling and soap operaesque episodes, Stargate SG-1: The First Ones is a delight. It’s angst, action, drama, and it has heart. It’s about friendship and teammates. It’s a lost teammate, and SG-1’s absolute determination to …
That Girl: Soot Yourself
This episode of That Girl actually had me chuckling and thinking about a little TV movie called Gidget Gets Married. I’ve never associated the Ann Marie character with Gidget Lawrence before but it just popped into my head that this was going to be what Ann and Don …
