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 …

Super Mario World - “Ghosts ‘R’ Us” is an episode that prominently features one of the video game’s most memorable and challenging aspects: the ghost house. Not only does this episode feature a ghost house, but it also has a Magikoopa, a type of villain introduced in the video …

The 38th episode of Sea Hunt’s third season was another one of these political intrigue shows that I really don’t like very much. I so prefer the almost non-existent ocean life shows or even the episodes focused on technological advances over these small fabricated country tales. The …

My wife wanted to watch Project Runway at 8 but I had the TV last night until then and decided to watch a re-run of Psych I had recorded on our DVR called There’s Something about Mira.
I think I have seen this episode in the past but didn’t remember …

Nevada vs. Rodgers was the latest hour of the new decent drama and disappointing comedy show, The Defenders. The good part for me is that they more or less left the comedy behind this week, and that was delightful. I’ve said from the beginning that this version …

M*A*S*H: Nurse Doctor has an interesting plot which is intriguing for a couple of different reasons.
First, Alexandra Stoddart guest starred as Lt. Gail Harris, a nurse stationed at the 4077th for the last part of her Army duty. She’s headstrong and thinks just about everyone is against her …

The producers of Top Chef just never disappoint. The second episode of the season and they have me hooked. From time to time on the show in the past, they will have a group of persons separate and apart from the judges judge the chefs. For this episode …

So how did this award-winning tv show start? Well Dexter, in my opinion, is a very distinctive tv show from all the others. It is not a simple crimishow. The whole idea of Dexter, as shown in season 1, is to portray the crime scene from Dexter´s point of …

What I like about Stargate SG-1: Sight Unseen is Jack out and about in Colorado Springs. Okay, it’s Vancouver, but he’s out there in his truck, driving around, getting gas, and shooting at things that aren’t really there. Best part of the show.
Second best part of Stargate …

Would you rather win the lottery, or be given a job as host of Top Gear? For me, I’d take the job. I haven’t seen the American version of the show on the History channel yet, but the British version of Top Gear has to be the best thing …

Burn Notice: Good Soldier is an episode from season two of this spy series that I think is a little on the ridiculous side of things. Most of the time, the regulars — Michael Weston (Jeffrey Donovan), Fiona (Gabrielle Anwar), and Sam (Bruce Campbell — are covertly watching …

Sea Hunt: Legend of the Mermaid almost feels like a repeat or perhaps a sequel. Let me explain why this June 1958 outing feels a little quirky.
First, this is yet another episode about sponge diving. We saw quite a bit of that just a few weeks before …

I found this episode of the popular 1990s American television show “The X-Files” very interesting since it covered the danger of online dating in a very twisted and scary way. This was because this episode, “2Shy” was about a serial killer who meets his victims online, and then …

As we flee from the threat of our identities of being revealed, we must question the nature of this fear in the first place. Does it exist to torment us, or is it an foolish illusion wrought by man’s own hands? These questions may not have an answer at …

The point of South Park is to put ignorant children into adult situations, knowing they would have no idea what was going on. While it has strayed from this ideal a quite a bit, it is nice to see an episode that involves many of the major characters at …

I really enjoy this season one entry. Stargate SG-1: Tin Man is a bit of fun for me. Our team is cloned, well, actually, they become synthetic copies of themselves, and the process of them finding that out and dealing with their emotions is just awesome.
Richard Dean …

When it was first announced that the original Star Trek was going to be treated to a special effects update, I was excited. Sure, I liked the show for its characters, stories, and music, but the special effects play an important role, too. To me, the special effects can …

It has been ages since I’ve watched the show South Park. But, I found myself watching a couple episodes last night. The first one was The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs.
This was actually a pretty funny episode; though a bit grosser than I remember the show being. Basically, the boys …

When I was younger, I used to watch the show Married with Children; mostly because it came on after the Simpsons. But, after a while, I did stop watching it. Recently, however, I have found it in re-runs on the weekend and have gotten hooked again.
I discovered yesterday that …

One outing from The Carol Burnett Show’s final season on the air included James Garner and George Carlin, along with regulars Tim Conway and Vicki Lawrence. Below are some thoughts about this hour of variety entertainment.
–Burnett joked about being on the unemployment in 3 weeks, but the real …

I was going to bemoan the fact that the episode opens with the Ghostbusters suffering from slow business. After all, that was a plot point in the last episode, but luckily, it gets quickly tossed aside as the plot gets underway.
I do mean underway in one of the …

You know, I could have sworn the show Family Guy has been on the air for a few years now. So, why is it, whenever I watch a re-run at 6:30 or 10:30 it is usually one of only about a dozen episodes?
Last night was one I have seen …

I could really sum up this show easily and just call it worth show ever! But Pokemon is a show that really did get on my nerves as a kid. I never really did get the fascination about these tiny monsters who fight each other. I think that this show …

This is one of the funniest episodes of Season 3.
