From 1958, Sea Hunt: Sonar Queen is a neat little episode that I enjoyed. It showed the audience something new for its day, and I tend to like information shows. Essentially, Mike Nelson the well known skin diver is hired to test what is actually a type …

I’m a relatively new Doctor Who fan. I started midway through David Tennant’s run as the Tenth Doctor. I’ve continued on with Matt Smith playing the Eleventh Doctor.
I like most of the episodes of this season (or series as it’s called in England) but my …

My family has been watching the show Family Guy for some time now (at least until our 5-year-old started repeating some of the stuff she shouldn’t have and we took a break from it) so we were interested when we learned there was going to be a spin-off starring …

Just as expected of this great show, it was a really fun and interesting episode. Aside from the investigation, there was some social message as well, but I felt like it didn’t really work well. I think it was a just a little bit over the top as the …

I’m not really sure how to describe Have Gun - Will Travel: The Colonel and the Lady. It’s almost like a fairytale in a sense. It’s about secrets and double lives. I had it figured out about halfway through; others might get it from the beginning.
Robert …

My Generation: Home Movies is the second outing for this new drama which follows 9 high school graduates, ten years later. It’s a ‘where are they now’ pseudo documentary drama, which is somewhat unique in concept. I suppose it’s a way of trying to capitalize on the …
