Star Trek: Bread and Circuses TV Show
Here we go again. You know, I love this series, but they did have the tendency to get very repetitive in their choices. In the case of Star Trek: Bread and Circuses, the Enterprise is tracking down yet another missing spaceship and, yes, the missing captain is …

The Jamie Foxx Show
I have always thought that The Jamie Foxx Show is a very good show. I really like it and I enjoy it a lot. This is a show that started Jamie Foxx’s career. I find it funny that he was very arrogant and stuck up even while on this show. …
Merry Christmas Drake & Josh
I’ll admit it, I’m getting a bit worn out with all the Christmas specials lately; most likely because I’m already getting tired of all the snow. But, I have to say I liked the Merry Christmas Jake & Josh special that was on TV last night.
My daughter used to …

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Halloween
Just when I thought season 2 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer could actually go without a bad episode, I come across the one entitled “Halloween.”
To be fair, this isn’t really a bad episode. It’s just it’s an episode that’s been done before.
Basically, it’s the same Halloween episode other shows …
The Last 10 Pounds Boot Camp
I don’t watch a lot of reality television, but there is one weight loss and fitness show that I really love. It is called The Last 10 Pounds Boot Camp, and the premise of this half-hour show is quite basic: each episode features a subject, or victim, who is …
Friends: The One with the Cop
This is a show that occurs in the fifth season of the popular sitcom, and it is one of my favorities as it has a lot going on throughout the show and it definitely does not leave room for any boring parts.

Mr. Robot (TV Series)
I’m on the lookout for new TV shows every season and I found this cyberpunk thriller drama in the summer 2015 batch. A second season was announced even before the pilot premiered and it’s nice to see such faith in the quality of the show. There’s talk of Mr. Robot …
America Funniest Home Videos
America’s Funniest Home Videos is a show which come on many different channels. I’m sure that you have seen it some time or another, advertised, on, previewed. It comes on a lot late at night. It’s a real life show with an audience, no actors. But it’s not technically …

That ’70s Show
I grew up in the seventies and when I watched my first episode of That 70s Show, it was extremely nostalgic; it was almost like being transported back in time. The teenagers on that show have the same relationships and experiences that my friends and I had back then. …
30 Rock: Pilot
I can’t say that this pilot started out all that strong for me. The truth is that I turned it on, left the room and forgot about it until the next day, but then pilots are difficult, and there was a fair amount of humor in this one once …
Project Runway TV Episode: Season 8 Premiere
Well, my wife is once again spending her Thursday nights watching Project Runway on Lifetime. This started last night with the season 8 premiere of the series. And, unfortunately, I think the series is continuing to get worse and worse every year.
First of all, the contestants this year seem …
Grey’s Anatomy
When Grey’s Anatomy first came on screen I was hooked. Maybe it was the fact I was watching people so passionate about their careers that they put everything else on the sideburner that made it so interesting.

The Virginian: Silver Image TV Show

Trinity Blood episode 11
A swift kiss, from lady death herself. This is “From the Empire” with love, Trinity blood episode eleven. The first thing you need to know, this is basically a James Bond episode focused more on teamwork, than cool gadgets or suave moves. Although they had those too, don’t get …
Models of the Runway: Frenemies
So much for a modeling competition without major drama. This week’s episode starts out where last week’s ended; two models at each others throats because one overreacted when she lost her designer and another one over reacted when the first one got mad at her for not keeping her …

The Twilight Zone: The Passersby TV Show
This 1961 outing, The Twilight Zone: The Passersby, isn’t a big favorite of mine, but it is a good show. I think the reason I’m not fond of it is because it’s somewhat dark. There isn’t really anything happy about it, and I prefer happy stories.
It’s the …

Family Guy: Peter’s Daughter
OK, I have to admit it, the Family Guy episode “Peter’s Daughter” has got to be one of the funniest episodes I’ve seen of any program on television.
There are two major plot points to this episode; both related to a flood that takes place in the opening minutes.
First, you …
The Simpson’s: Little Orphan Millie
Well, that was an interesting episode of the Simpson’s last night “Little Orphan Millie” but it really wasn’t quite as funny as I would expect from this show.

The Haunted (Animal Planet)

M*A*S*H: Of Moose and Men
There’s something I really notice about M*A*S*H: Of Moose and Men, and it’s something that applies to season four in its entirety thus far. It’s the Frank Burns character. Larry Linville plays the part so well. It’s not all that easy to play an idiot. …
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: No Man’s Land

The whole Buffy versus Cordelia for homecoming queen thing …
