Project Runway Season 3 Finale
After what seemed to be a very long season of Project Runway, I’m happy to say the season finale was last night. And, it made the last few weeks of torture worth it.
Jeffrey was named the winner, which means the judges finally picked the right winner. His outfits throughout …

A Taste for Death - Part 5
I enjoyed the early portion of A Taste for Death - Part 5. I liked the opening, out on the lake, in the rowboat. Some of the outdoor scenes in this taped production are the best. This mystery continues with Inspector Adam Dalgliesh (Roy Marsden) still …
Direct T.V
Direct Television is a great thing. We switch to direct a long time ago, and now we have it in four rooms of the house. It is a lot cheaper than many of the others, and you still get a lot of the channels, which you can choose. They …
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 …
Law and Order: Criminal Intent Season 1
Watching Law and Order: Criminal Intent Season One now is a fairly different experience than watching it when the season first aired years ago. I actually remember when the show first started because my parents were big fans of the original Law and Order and I actually watched Special …
Star Trek: The Galileo Seven TV Show
Star Trek: The Galileo Seven is a good one. It’s another that deals with the issue of prejudice aimed towards Mr. Spock. It’s odd that so many would harbor ill will in his direction, but it’s constant throughout the series. The catalyst for the drama here …

Time Warner Cable Service
This place is so frustrating to work with. I go in on Thursday to inquire about getting service. The guy at the desk states that I can have it installed on Friday. I let him know that would be great I get off work at 4 …
TV Show: Seducing Cindy
When we got Direct TV, we ended up with several channels we never had before. And, as a result, came across a few television shows we had never knew existed.
One of those shows was a show called Seducing Cindy, which was airing on our reality TV channel. Since the …
Star Trek: Metamorphosis TV Show
Star Trek: Metamorphosis isn’t in my top favorites, but it is a solid episode that gives us some history as well. The premise is that a shuttle from the Enterprise is heading back to the ship after picking up a rather opinionated and ungrateful Ambassador Nancy Hedford (Elinor …
Gordon Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares
Even though Gordon Ramsey can be a bit abrasive, I love watching this show since it gives an in depth look at the other side of operating a restaurant business. Sometimes I do find the owners featured on this show to be funny because of their naivete, but …
Diego: Animal Rescuer
When Nick Jr. first came out with Diego: Animal Rescuer, my first thought was; well, they have Dora and obviously need something for the boys to watch.
But, as I found out, the show isn’t just meant for young boys. My daughter loves it as well.
Diego is a young child …

Max Headroom: Body Banks TV show
The Body Banks episode of Max Headroom, from 1987, is sadly not that hard to envision. Society is just such a crazy place that I certainly wouldn’t doubt it. We’ve seen fiction do crazier things, like Soylent Green did with its shocking revelation. Basically, it’s all …
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 …

A Bones tradition is ending the season with a Christmas episode. This year was no different. And, I will say the episode The Goop on the Girl was actually pretty entertaining.

Eureka Seven episode 47
As our story begins to reach its conclusion, we are seeing all the lost threads to the ever increasing in size story line. Now for all those who would dare to call that an failure in more than one aspect, I believe it is about time for us to …

I enjoy this show because it’s a theme that, …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Inspector TV Show
One of the final episodes of the first season, The Andy Griffith Show: The Inspector began with a classic scene of Barney playing checkers against himself. Now it’s a hoot, but haven’t we all done something like this before? I think that’s why it works so well. …
Alias TV-Show
When I started to watch Alias when it came out I was pleasantly surprised as it was written very well and stories lines that were gripping and catchy. Especially because the main character is torn between 2 things trying to keep her spy live from interfering with her personal …

This is the final episode in the trilogy about the spaceship Malevolence commanded by General Grievous.

The …
Smallville: Prey
“Prey” is the sixth episode of season eight of Smallville. Simply stated, this was a great episode! It had action, mystery, and tension between Clark and Chloe that, for once, did not seem forced or contrived. People, even best friends, disagree with each other. Both …
Stargate SG-1: Nemesis
Season three of Stargate SG-1 ends with the first of a two-part that sadly indicates a shift in the show that ultimately began its downhill slide. Many fans consider the first three years of the show to be the vintage years. Sadly, I agree with them.
The unfortunate …

Family Guy: Peter, Peter, Caviar Eater
As one of the earlier episodes of Family Guy, “Peter, Peter, Caviar Eater” is among the more funny ones. It has a decent build up, and while the plot is not as out there as later episodes, its decent writing saves the day.
Lois’ aunt dies, and the family inherits …
Stargate SG-1: Hathor
Stargate SG-1: Hathor in season 1 of the series is one that I actually like in some ways and one that is disturbing in other ways.
In this episode, the Goa’uld Hathor takes control of our very strong SG-1, and most other males at the SGC. Because the men …
Dark Blue (The TV Series)
Dark Blue is a serious series on the lives of deep undercover police officers, so deep that even their fellow cops do not know about it. I think the title is so appropriate considering that the series deals with the dark side of life. I can feel the tension …
