THAT 70′S SHOW

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Beer Bad
You know, I normally like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but some episodes, like “Beer Bad” are just so stupid, you almost hate to admit you watch the show.

Criminal Minds: The Longest Night TV Show
The season premier of Criminal Minds, called The Longest Night, picks up where last season left off. I have to be honest and say that as much as I have loved this hour long drama, this show is really approaching un-watchable for me. Actually, it’s pretty much …
Models of the Runway
Well, I survived the season premiere of Project Runway and noticed there was a different show on right after, Models of the Runway. Since our infant daughter was wide awake still, i took the time to watch it too.

How I Met Your Mother
I finished watching the first season of this series, and I had to just write a review about this amazing series. The cast consists of 5 main characters.Ted, Barney, Lily, Marshal and Robin. Though all of them, except for Barney(Neil Patrick Harris) and Lily(Alyson Hannigan) are relatively new, they …
Tom and Jerry Show
The Tom and Jerry show cartoon tv is one of the funniest programs be it for kids or any other genres in tv history. I really love the antics that this two plays at the expense of each other to create humor.
Although the show is based on the …
The Second Leaders’ Debate, UK general election campaign 2010
The second of the live leaders’ debates to be held during this year’s U.K. general election campaign was, I thought, less of an interesting affair than the first one, and not only because that first debate had had the obvious advantage of being something of a novelty. This time …
Columbo: A Stitch in Crime TV Show
Columbo’s A Stitch in Crime from season two has been a show I’ve always remembered. Leonard Nimoy guest starred as a surgeon who attempts to kill his mentor via certain actions on the operating table, and the only one who believes that is Sharon Martin, a surgical nurse. …
Due South: A Likely Story
The best thing about Due South: A Likely Story is the story that Constable Benton Fraser (Paul Gross) tells both in the first and the last scenes. Gross is a good storyteller, and I understand that he’s a folk singer of some sort, so that may explain why …
Britain’s Tudor Treasure: A Night At Hampton Court (TV Documentary)
What a better way to mark the 500th anniversary of the famous Hampton Court than to recreate the most important event that took place there.

Cold Case - Volunteers show
I don’t get many opportunities to watch the show Cold Case. But, i took part of the day off to take my daughter to the fair (which was ruined by the rain) and ended up watching a re-run of it today “Volunteers.” It was pretty decent.
The show starts out …
Gilligan’s Island TV Episode: Forward March
As I have mentioned before, I’m a big fan of watching Gilligan’s Island re-runs on weekends. But, even though I do enjoy most of the episodes (I’ve seen every one several times), there are some that just aren’t as good as others. One of these is the episode “Forward …
Vizio VM230XVT Razor
Amongst small-screen Televisions, the 23-inch Vizio VM230XVT Razor is really a standout because of its good display quality and astonishing features. This Television uses a good edge-lit brought backlight for display quality that’s not within the same category as big-screen powerhouses, however that’s really, very great for a TV …
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: Carroll O’Connor TV Show
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: Carroll O’Connor honored the All in the Family star as Man of the Week for a merry bit of entertainment with a number of decent humor routines and unusual dais members. It wasn’t often in those days that you’d find the head of …

Stargate SG1: Avalon Pts 1 and 2
This two parter introduced us to many new characters at SG1 while losing Richard Dean Anderson as General O’Neill. Even though he made a cameo during these episodes, it was not the same as having him around full time.
Viewers got to meet Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell played by …
Ghost Hunters: American Legion
Last night’s Ghost Hunters episode was OK but not one of the greatest ones. They investigated an American Legion building in Pennsylvania (a short distance from where my wife was born).
It was one of those cases that could go either way. A lot of personal experiences that weren’t captured …
The Caped Crusader Caper
Like I mentioned in another review, my daughter and I were watching older Scooby Doo episodes last night that featured them teaming up with Batman and Robin.
The second episode we watched, The Caped Crusader Caper, was OK but not as good as the first meeting with Batman and Robin …
Lost Season 6 Episode 4
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 …
Robot Chicken TV show
Robot Chicken is a sketch comedy show on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim lineup. It’s animated, but not in the traditional moving pictures manner. It’s actually the product of stop-motion animation, making heavy use of action figures and dolls.
A lot of the humor is of the shock or …
M*A*S*H: Bottle Fatigue
I was really happy to see M*A*S*H: Bottle Fatigue come along towards the end of the eighth season of this astounding comedy series. There is an earlier episode where they’d had a chance to really deal with alcoholism, but didn’t. It left me with a bad taste. …
Super Bowl XLII Halftime show
I’ve seen just about every Super Bowl Half Time show over the past decade; even when didn’t watch the game. But, last night’s performance by Tom Petty was one of the most boring performances I’ve seen in a long while.
I understand how the NFL is now afraid of any …
Star Trek: Obsession TV Show
While there are good moments in Star Trek: Obsession, it’s another revenge type of show where James Kirk follows his overwhelming need for revenge for some past event even when it jeopardizes his crew, something which is highly abnormal for him. Having that as a theme brought the …
Supernatural show
This show stars Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki who play the roles of Dean Winchester and Sam Winchester respectively. They are two brothers who hunt demons. Dean is a character who is easy to fall in love with. He is humorous even when he doesn’t intend to be! Sam …
Cowboy bebop Episode 22 (Anime)
Cowboy Bebop Episode 22 has Spike encountering a bounty hunter named Cowboy Andy when he tries to capture the Teddy Bomber.
This was a very quirky anime episode and it was a lot of fun. I liked it because I thought Cowboy Andy was an interesting character and the …
That Girl - Season Two DVD set
Again, my problem with the Shout Factory DVD release of this show, and others that they’ve done, is how inconvenient the layout is. Since this is only a four-disk set, it’s not as bad as others, but what they tend to do is put two DVDs on the …
