Finally. After almost a full season, Law & Order: SVU seems to be getting back to solving cases and eliminating a lot of the side-stories.
Last night’s episode Choreographed was fantastic. It involved the return of Olivia Benson as Elliott Stabler’s partner and focused on solving a crime, not the …

Lady of the Lake was the 7th episode of the first season of Upright Citizens Brigade. It is also, to me, the weakest episode of the entire season. This is mainly due to the titular character, the Lady of the Lake: she just doesn’t work as a …

The beginning of the episode was, for no better choice of words, plain cool. It was so unexpected that it grabbed my attention right from the beginning. They did a really good job with this one. It was potentially a really tricky subject, but they handled it quite well, …

I was curious and tuned into Oprah yesterday when the topic, and it is a long one, was ‘The 82-Pound Actress: Ellen’s Wife Portia de Rossi & the Secret That Nearly Killed Her’. Why they did a title that was that long, I don’t know. It’s almost …

One of the things I never liked about Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the fact the main character has almost superhero-like powers to help her fight evil; something that gives her almost too much of an advantage.
That’s one thing I liked about the episode “Helpless.” Buffy, who is turning …

The Next Iron Chef continued its hunt with a show called Transformation. All of the episodes this season have had one word themes that are said to focus on the attributes an iron chef must possess, like innovation and resourcefulness. This hour sought to see which chefs …

Inevitably many weddings have mishaps. This show aims to showacse all the falling down kids, missed rings and fainting spells that happen during weddings. This is a funny show to watch, kind of like Americans funniest home videos with an only wedding theme. It comes on TLC on saturday …

Friends Episode: Rachel Moving Out is one of the better episodes that you can see Monica’s really ‘controlling’ and ‘possessive’ manner of persona. The episode is when Rachel is going to move out and not being her room-mate anymore. And knowing Rachel, she is very laid-back about it …

Code Geass Episode 3 begins with Lelouch confronting Clovis about his brother’s murder and killing him. Afterwards he investigates Kallen, the girl he saw the terrorists in Shinjuku.
This was a pretty good episode as it developed Kallen’s character and gave Lelouch a chance to use his powers more, …

Airing in March 1968, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Edge of Doom was the 24th show of this fourth season. The show starred Richard Basehart as Admiral Nelson and David Hedison as Captain Crane. This is a bit of a mystery show, and the …

The restaurant was owned by a mother and her two daughters and used to be the mother’s antique shop before being converted into a …

I used to watch all of the CBS soaps everyday. Now that my life has gotten a lot busier I have focused on just watching As The World Turns. As The World Turns is a great soap for younger people in their late teens and early twenties and has …

Today was the first time I’ve seen the Monk episode “Mr. Monk is at Your Service” and thought it was one of the funnier episodes I’ve seen recently.
This episode has Monk going undercover as a butler (or as he refers to it, a house manager) because Natalie suspects the …

My wife and I have been watching the Victoria’s Secret Fashion show every year since it first appeared on TV. Last night was no exception to that. Of all the shows we have seen, I think this year’s was easily the best.
The great thing about Victoria’s Secret’s show isn’t …

Chasing Mummies: Buried opened in Luxor at the Valley of the Kings with Alice suddenly getting sick. Alice is an underwater archaeologist who asked to go to work for Dr. Zahi Hawass after working with his team on a project earlier in the series. Though skeptical, it …

This has got to be one of the best switches I have seen on “House” so far. The story involves a supermodel who punches out another model and then collapses on the catwalk. They discover heroin in her blood and so at first they assume it is that, and …

Tonight was the big elimination where another contestant’s dream of being the American Idol came to an end. Before that happened, all kinds of other stuff happened first. It was Country Week, which the singers all performing country songs, except for Adam Lambert, who did his own …

Politics started out well but after the first ten minutes I was bored while watching it.
Bored watching an episode of Stargate SG1? How can that be? Well, this episode was what they call a “clip show.” Having seen every episode of Stargate SG1 so far plus …

One of the things I really like about Due South: Mask is the Indian culture and lore that comprises a big part of the story. I’m always taken with the legends and such that are part of the very rich Indian heritage. This show is full of …

Joss Whedon is one of those love him or hate him writers. I like him. I enjoyed Buffy and Angel, although I did find them to be a bit overpraised. Such is the case with a lot of things in geek culture.
One show in …

So ends the second season and Billie Piper’s run as Rose Tyler. With an ominous prediction from Satan, I was expecting Rose to die, and the episode really plays up the possibility, with Rose’s voice over confirming it.
“Shockingly”, it turns out that the Beast was lying, or at …

Stargate SG-1: Prometheus is one of the wildcards I’ve mentioned. I kind of like this one, even with the annoying constant smiling of Jonas Quinn.
Earth’s brand new spaceship, the Prometheus, is about ready for its trial run. That’s when four hijackers make their move, successfully gaining control …

This is a fantastic channel that Foxtel Australia have. I has Martha, as in Martha Stewart, which is a really good show and the last month they showed Martha’s daughter and her radio co-host who were hilarious together. I also love a show on there …

I’ve decided to combine these two “Adam-12″ episodes. My favorite of the two is “Log 61″ which evokes heart and compassion from Officer’s Reed and Malloy when they get called to residence for a possible break in.
The call comes from two young children, whose parents are out. …

I wasn’t really sure what to expect from the Bones Season 5 finale last night. I kind of figured it would leave things hanging a bit to build up for next season. But, at the same time, I was a bit afraid it wouldn’t be as good as the …

Make It or Break It? is ABC’s newest addition to its roster of family-centered shows. This one, however, centers on gymnastics, specifically on 4 girls’ of making it to Nationals and ultimately, the Olympics.
Having just finished seeing the Pilot episode, I can say upfront that this will be …

What do you get when you cross a Goa’uld palace, a beautiful light and an addictive substance with a bunch of humans from Earth? Lots of addicted humans whose dopemine levels escalate while on the planet but drop dangerously and fatally low when they return back to Earth.
After …

It’s unusual to have a western whose hero is also a lawyer, especially from Harvard, but that’s what Brisco is and we are reminded of it in The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Brisco for the Defense. Though he hasn’t tried a case in 5 years, he’s called …

I took the time to watch the new episode of Bones last night “ A Night at the Bones Museum” and it turned out to be halfway decent.
Basically, an Egyptian mummy is discovered attached to an electric fence. After some investigating, they discover it is a somewhat famous mummy …

I have to wonder just how messed up Elliott Stabler’s family is. Last week, on Law & Order SVU, his youngest daughter was seen on an Internet porn site. This week on the episode “Swing” his oldest daughter is caught breaking into another person’s home to take a shower …

If you are a have a mother, or a grandmother there is a good chance you have either heard of or viewed at one point the daytime drama Days Of Our Lives. It had been on since the 1965 and like other daytime drama’s in recent years, the …

The Backscatter episode of Numb3rs began with what I perceive to be a ridiculous chase seen. We know it’s a hacker doing something from an alley. They get blocked in, both front and back, and yet the two get out of the car and out of the …

Beast Wars - Feral Scream, Part One is an episode that has some strengths, but unfortunately, some weaknesses as well. Let me first start with what I did not like because these are problems that bother me each and every time I watch the episode. First of all, the …

As with every episode of Lost this one was a little weird. There was so much going on I won’t recap what happened. This episode was mainly about Sawyer/Locke and a little bit of Hurley.
It’s really nice to see the Locke character alive and well especially when …

Top Chef: Washington D.C.: Reunion Special was frustrating in that once again they don’t tell us who the fan favorite was, saving it for that lame What it Live show, or whatever it is. I feel like that is TV show blackmail, and I refuse to watch.
For this …

In 2009, Brad Wright decided that the original movie pilot for Stargate SG-1, called Children of the Gods, wasn’t good enough. There were a lot of things he didn’t like about it, so MGM gave him the green light to re-edit the film, giving us this final cut …

One night I was at home bored, channel surfing. I came across The Secret Life Of The American Teenager marathon on ABC Family. Now, i’m usually not interested in these types of shows, especially not the sitcoms from ABC Family. However, I kept hearing and seeing all the promotional …

Jake Weber portrays Allison’s husband, Joe Dubois. He deals with harassment …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Soledad Crossing was the last show of the fourth season. Perhaps that is why it opened with a huge kiss for series star, Richard Boone. His Paladin was having a nice time in his San Francisco hotel. What I did think …

Should girls be able to beat boys at sports? That was the central theme of the That 70s Show episode “Battle of the Sexists,” and I have to admit, it really made an interesting point about the way we view opposite genders.
The episode is based on the fact Donna can …

This first season episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation - “Datalore” is an episode that I enjoy watching, but it is also an episode that is weakened by writing that is a bit too convenient and wobbly in my opinion. The episode definitely suffers from some faults that …

This episode used to freak me out as a little kid mainly because the disfigured villains were so cruel and their attempts to kill everyone on earth with nerve gas paled in comparison to their tormenting of a deaf girl and their attempt to set Buck Rogers on fire! …
