Sports Unlimited
Being a sports lover and being active in different sports, I must say that, for me, Sports Unlimited is a gem of a TV program here in the Philippines.
It’s basically a TV show in ABS-CBN Channel 2 (a local broadcasting network) every Saturday, 12 am, which essentially covers different …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Graduation Day
I have to say, as far as Buffy the Vampire Slayer goes, the third season has got to be one of the most violent seasons I have seen of any series. The finale; a two part episode entitled “Graduation Day” is a great example.
Let’s see, in the first half …

The Good Wife is a show I watch every week, but even as I watch it, it often bothers me. In fact, the more the show goes along, the more I wonder if I might stop watching. This episode called Mock is a perfect example of why …

From April 1967, The Virginian: The Strange Quest of Claire Bingham was the final episode of the fifth season. After an amusing opening scene with James Drury as The Virginian and a couple of odd and end scenes, including an action oriented chase of a Medicine Bow posse, …
Jennifer Hudson: Christmas
Jennifer Hudson: Christmas was this American Idol alum’s first TV special. I liked it, somewhat, but was also disappointed. Hudson has one dynamo voice. It’s full of power, but I felt like she tried to jazz everything up too much, or to put that whole black …

Numb3rs TV show
I really enjoy this show - I like the idea of using statistics and other forms of math to solve major crimes, and actually have a friend of mine who works in crime profiling, which I think is pretty cool.
The relationship between the characters is that Don Epps, an …
Star Trek: Voyager - Live Fast and Prosper
Star Trek: Voyager - “Live Fast and Prosper” is an episode that I would call part comedy, part absurdity. The episode does have some genuinely comical moments, like when one of the Voyager crew impostors, namely the alien impersonating Tuvok, gets carried away with his role and when the …

One of the best Transformers cartoons I’ve seen. Transformers Rescue Bots is on the TV station called The Hub. It’s a channel has some of the old time shows like ALF as well as old children’s cartoons like the 1985 Transformers , GI Joe from the 80s, and so …
A-Team TV Episode: Mission of Peace
I ended up stumbling across the A-Team episode Mission of Peace early Sunday morning. And, because I had missed the first few minutes of it, I found myself watching mainly in an effort to figure out what the heck was going on.
Overall though, it was a pretty decent episode.
Basically, the …
Law & Order Criminal Intent: Lonelyville
I’m a big fan of the Law & Order Criminal Intent series, but last night’s episode, Lonelyville, was a bit too much to swallow.
The premise of the show was good; a wannabe writer is getting drunk in a bar and is invited to participate in a threesome with two …

Battlestar Galactica: Saga of a Star World
When I was growing up, my family never missed an episode of the television series Battlestar Galactica (the original series not the remake). But, because I would have been about three when it first aired, I had no memory of the first episode “Saga of a Star World” so …

The Simpsons TV Episode: The Bob Next Door
I haven’t watched re-runs of the Simpsons in a while and finally had a chance to catch the one that always airs at 6 p.m. on weekdays last night.

The Flash TV Season 2, Episode 10: Potential Energy
The teaser brought some worry for me because it showed the most used material of all and probably what all superheroes have nightmares - losing someone they love at the hands of their archenemies.
It was tried and tested and while this was scary, I wished the show came in …
Battlestar Galactica: Sometimes a Great Notion
I was as excited as any fan for the return of Battlestar Galactica, but I also knew that this first episode wasn’t likely to be a fun episode. That isn’t to say that it isn’t good, it was an excellent episode, but I can’t say that I enjoyed it.
This …
Top Chef: Foreign Affairs TV Show
Top Chef: Foreign Affairs began with scenes from last week that shows again how Alex stole another contestant’s pea puree and lied about it. All fingers point to him, and now he’s on my naughty list. Of course, we haven’t seen the full proof that he took …
Dora’s Christmas Carol
I’ve heard about Dora the Explorer for quite a while, and I’ve seen the character’s image here and there, but I’ve never actually seen an episode of the animated show; that is, until I flicked on Dora’s Christmas Carol over the holidays. I just really wanted to watch …
Simpsons: Double Double Boy in Trouble
It was only a matter of time before The Simpsons crossed the threshold and do the whole “we discovered a twin for one of the characters so let’s have them switch places.”
Yep, it’s been done dozens of times before so why not do it on a show that once …
The Simpsons Show
I remember when the Simpsons used to be one of the freshest and funniest shows on television. I would watch it every week and just laugh and laugh because it was funny.
And then it got older, and stopped getting quite as fresh and funny. And now I …
Naruto Episode 6 Subbed
After a little bit more comedy at Naruto’s expense, episode 6 finally provides what all the previous episodes have been pointing towards: real, dangerous, action. And this episode did a superb job of introducing the action. There is enough explanatory dialog to keep the story going strong without confusing …
Psych TV Episode: Chivalry is Not Dead, But Someone Is
Well, after fighting the kids to bed last night, I was able to tune in to watch the new episode of Psych called Chivalry is Not Dead, But Someone Is.
Perhaps I was a bit tired. But, for some reason, I honestly did not enjoy this one as much as …
The Fugitive: Escape into Black
I love this episode of The Fugitive called Escape into Black. Kimball is injured going after the one-armed man and wakes up without his memory. Ivan Dixon is his by-the-book doctor and Betty Garrett plays his assistant. Garrett becomes intrigued by the patient. She actually …
Outlaw: Pilot TV Show
The dramatic pilot to Jimmy Smits’ new TV series was somewhat interesting. For me, one of the reasons that Smits’ character of Cyrus Garza works is because he lets himself be a bit older here. I haven’t really liked the younger swag characters that he’s played since …
The View show
The View is a show hosted by four women (five when Barbara Walters is on). These four women, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sherri Shepherd and Elisabeth Hasselbeck, have very different opinions and views on many different subjects from raising children, to marriage woes, to political issues.
The best and most …
A-Team TV Episode: Duke of Whispering Pines
I came in a bit late on the A-Team re-run The Duke of Whispering Pines this past weekend and I didn’t get to see the first few minutes of it. But, I did get to see the majority of this episode and, for the most part, it was pretty …
CHiPs: The Sheik
From November 1978, CHiPs: The Sheik is from the second season and stars, as always, Erik Estrada and Larry Wilcox. The fun of this particular outing is guest star Kario Salem, who plays the title role. Actually, he’s the son of a very wealthy man, and he …

Team UmiZoomi
Many cartoon programs on television right now are not the most educational for children of any age; especially toddlers. There is, of course, the tried and true Sesame Street that is always easy to rely on to help you teach your children their alphabet, numbers, etc. But, not all …

Family Guy: Not All Dogs Go to Heaven

You have the main plot, where Meg …

Project Runway: A Look in the Line TV Show

Pokemon (TV Show) - The Waterflowers of Cerulean City (Episode)
“The Waterflowers of Cerulean City” is an episode of the “Pokemon” series that features Ash’s second gym battle as well as Misty’s three sisters. Unlike “Showdown in Pewter City,” the episode that introduced Brock and his backstory. This episode doesn’t do much to expand upon Misty’s back story. Misty’s …
Family Guy TV Episode: The Kiss Seen Around the World
Well, that was an OK episode of Family Guy last night, but not one I was overly impressed with either.
In The Kiss Seen Around the World, Meg develops a crush on the local TV anchorman and accepts an unpaid internship just to get close to him. However, while there, …
Witch’s Requirement TV show
This moving tale epitomises all the forbidden loves of this world. It depicts the difficulties faced by all the couples who want to be together despite discriminations, criticisms, and pressure from loved ones.
Perhaps many people will think that this is just another common, cliched Japanese romance television series. However, …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Hollow Pursuits
Star Trek: The Next Generation - “Hollow Pursuits” is an episode that I enjoy watching because it shows a couple of things that make the show more realistic and the characters more real. Through the character of Lt. Reginald Barcley, it is shown that not every person on the …
Stargate Atlantis: Vegas
Life gets crazy in science fiction, and that’s certainly true for Stargate Atlantis: Vegas which is a sort of homage to CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. There was a lot of buzz about this episode when it was done, so I was curious to see how it played out …
