Medical Comedy: Scrubs
Scrubs is a medical comedy that has held my interest from the beginning. It takes on an easy going, humorous, and sometimes plain crazy look into the lives of the doctors of Sacred Heart hospital. There’s Elliot: a woman just trying to fit in and let loose …
The Universe: Parallel Universes
The History Channel’s highly intriguing and always entertaining science documentary series turns in another sensational offering with this in depth, but incredibly palatable look at parallel universes.
It’s not just the thing of science fiction apparently, in fact the raw science is all there and not only might there be …
Dawn French’s Girls Who Do Comedy
If you’re a fan of any one of the comediennes interviewed in this series, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by it. Dawn French puts her eccentric characters and fiery energy onto the backburner as she takes the interviewer’s seat, bringing an enjoyable balance of the right questions and a liveliness …
Judge Joe Brown
In the afternoon there are a number of television shows that peek my interest. I enjoy watching shows that deal with law. There are a number of semi law shows. Judge Joe Brown is one of the more entertaining shows that are on in the afternoon. This …

House TV Episode: Two Stories
Synopsis: House participates in a school’s career day and winds up sent to the principal’s office.

Friends Episode: Halloween
I love Friends Episode: Halloween very much. In fact, this is one of my most favorite episodes ever. It is not about the celebration or the significance of it, because I respect all religion and their traditions, but it’s just that yet again, the beloved Friends make a …

Stargate Atlantis: Ghost in the Machine
Stargate Atlantis: Ghost in the Machine is the fifth episode of the fifth and final season for this SyFy TV series. Never let it be said I can’t say something good about this series that I’m not fond of because I’m saying here that this episode was actually …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Something Blue
Ok, I’m actually a bit confused about what was happening in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “Something Blue.”
I get Willow is trying to cast a spell to make her get over the pain of Oz cheating on her then leaving town. And, because she has a bit too …
Felix in Hollywood cartoon
Recently, I had a chance to watch some classic Felix the Cat cartoons. I used to watch these with great pleasure when growing up. Well, not these specific ones I’m reviewing. These are older ones that I’m seeing for the first time, but there was a …
Ice Road Truckers: Convoy to Hell
Ice Road Truckers: Convoy to Hell was a bit on the calm side, which is unusual for this reality series which airs weekly on the History Channel. Usually, the show has plenty of spice, but for whatever reason, the action seemed a bit tame. Then again, sometimes …
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: A.K.A. Kansas
There was one thing I really loved and one thing I really hated about The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: A.K.A. Kansas. Overall, the negative rules and that means this is a show I could really live without.
Kelly Rutherford reprises her role as Dixie Cousins. This time, …
The Two Coreys: Episode 2.5 - Lost Boy
Just when you think everything is going well, it all goes to crap and it happens on the set of “The Lost Boys 2″, thanks to Corey Haim who begins by slurring and forgetting his lines as well as causing problems for almost everybody on set. His assistant Nelle …

Touching Evil: Justine
In my opinion, the third episode of Touching Evil called Justine was the most intense yet. It was spellbinding at the end. I just couldn’t take my eyes off the screen.
What Justine does is wrap up the story that was begun in the pilot, while also taking …
Afro Samurai
I recently had the chance to watch the five episodes of the Manga-like action Anime titled Afro Samurai, and must admit it was one of the best anime I have seen for a long time now.
The story evolves under a Japanese Tech setting, whilst at the same time, a …
Stargate SG-1: Lockdown
Stargate SG-1: Lockdown is one of the best episodes of season eight; in fact, of all of the latter seasons of the show. It’s full of good stuff.
In this story, Anubis has made his way to Earth and ends up taking over different people’s bodies. The problem …
The Rachel Zoe Project
Bravo TV has some interesting and great water cooler reality shows, but it amazes me if anyone talks about The Rachel Zoe Project, except to say how self-absorbed and high maintenance Rachel Zoe is.
Frankly, I’d never heard of her until seeing the commercials for her show during other reality …
Laramie: Fugitive Road
From season one of Laramie comes Fugitive Road, a terrific tale that really tugs on the heart from the conflict involved. The magic of Laramie is the relationship between the two friends, Jess (Robert Fuller) and Slim (John Smith). These two are as different as night and …
Stargate SG1: Need
While this episode is Daniel-centric, I cannot make up my mind whether I really love it, hate it or am stuck in between. I think it’s the latter. Even though I am a huge fan of the character Daniel Jackson and his portrayer, Michael Shanks, there are …
Mr. Monk & the Psychic
Well, another season one Monk episode and another happy fan. Mr. Monk & the Psychic is an episode that manages to show everything that is or at least was good about the show before they started messing with the format a bit.
You have a woman being murdered by her …
Speed Grapher Television show

Chase: Repo is the second episode of this new dramatic TV series which stars Kelli Giddish as Annie Frost, a U.S. Marshal. The show begins with what appears to be a drag race, only it’s a murder in the making, one done by a recently released fugitive.
One of …
Bones: The Skull in the Sculpture
As far as episodes of Bones go, “The Skull in the Sculpture” was one of the most predictable episodes I’ve seen. I took a wild guess just minutes into the show about who the killer was and was surprisingly right; though I didn’t know the motive.
In fact, everything about …
House : Don’t Ever Change
Last night’s episode of House, “Don’t Ever Change” brought back what was always good about the series, an actual medical mystery that has his team racing against the clock to determine the illness before their patient dies.
Adding to the mystery was the fact the patient is a former record …

Glee 201- Auditions

NCIS TV series
NCIS is a show on CBS that—˜s a spin off of JAG. It’s one of those crime and forensic type show but it’s angle is military and naval related. NCIS stands for Naval Criminal Investigative Service. I have to admit that I really didn’t tune into this show until …
That 70s Show: Killer Queen
Well, that was a somewhat interesting episode of That 70s Show last night, “Killer Queen.”
Valentine’s Day is a few weeks away yet but they decided to air a Valentine’s Day episode that proved to be quite funny.
My favorite part of this episode was involving Red and Kitty and the …
Private Eye: Both Sides of the Coin
From 1987, Private Eye: Both Sides of the Coin is one show of this crime adventure drama that I really couldn’t get into. The story somewhat when in my eyes and ears and right out of my head. It’s a scam plot, and they’re a dime a …

Big Brother: Power of Veto August 11, 2010 TV Show
I would dub this Power of Veto episode of Big Brother the Rachel Meltdown and Brendon Bad Boy Hour. The show aired on August 11, 2010, and it was just pitiful to watch. If it weren’t for the fact that I was writing reviews, I wouldn’t be …
Sea Hunt: Confidential Mission TV Show
For me, the best shows from the underwater adventure series, Sea Hunt, are those that deal with the ocean and the sea life within it. I love the shows that show this life and those that deal with technology. Unfortunately, the show often takes a cloak and …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Incident at Borrasca Bend
The 27th episode from the second season of Have Gun - Will Travel is called Incident at Borrasca Bend, and it’s a pretty offbeat one at that. I’d call it a bumbling comedy outing that has limited appeal. A bearded Paladin ends up in the wrong …
Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: Pai Gow TV Show
Most of Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: Pai Gow doesn’t impress me as much as most other episodes from the drama do. The series revolves around the reunited father and son, Kwai Chang Caine and Peter Caine, as played by David Carradine and Chris Potter, respectively.
The essence of …
MacGyver: Countdown
MacGyver: Countdown is the fourteenth episode of season one. It’s a very watchable show which has the action contained and rather subdued aboard a cruise ship. The sedentary action is watching Mac and his buddy try to disarm three bombs that have been set on the passenger …
MacGyver: Dalton, Jack of Spies
Oh how I wish MacGyver: Dalton, Jack of Spies had just never been done. When we last saw Jack Dalton, he was flying away to his heroic death. Mac had that warm look of friendship on his face as he watched. Now, though, Jack is back, …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Q Who? is a season two episode and is, I feel, one of the series’ best episodes and one of the greatest Star Trek episodes ever made. What makes this episode so enjoyable? Well, for one, it conveys the dangers of the unknown …
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia
