Curb Your Enthusiasm - TV Show
I watched the first season or two of Curb Your Enthusiasm recently. It’s a comedy show that used to be on HBO and it won a bunch of comedy awards so my favorable review is going to be nothing new to the enlightened television watcher who by fluke …
Bill Nye the Science Guy Disney Show
Bill Nye the Science Guy is a wacky and fun show. I have lots of little cousins, and there are a lot of times whereby me and my sister are requested to babysit them, as they have some busy parents.
There was this time I was taking care of …
CSI New York Season 3 Episode 7 - Murder Sings the Blues
That was a strange episode and I really liked it. I wonder if those things are based on real things that happen in New York City or is it just a pure imagination. I guess to come up with something believable you have to base it on something real, …
Stargate SG-1: Homecoming
Stargate SG-1: Homecoming concludes the two-parter where Daniel Jackson returns to the series after a one-year hiatus. Oddly, his character is teamed with his so-called replacement, Jonas Quinn. There was some concern that the two might have difficulties performing together, but they didn’t.
Fans, however, had some difficulties …
Danny Phantom
The only time I really watch Danny Phantom is when my cousins come over. They are ages three, six, eight and ten. I think it’s a pretty cool show from what I’ve seen. I also like some of the messages it teaches kids. There was one episode when there …

CHiPs: Rally ‘Round the Bank
CHiPs: Rally ‘Round the Bank has one element I’ve actually remembered for years, going back to when the episode first aired on February 3, 1979. In the episode, Frank Poncherello’s mother shows up unexpectedly for a visit. This creates some light humor at the beginning as Ponch …
The Flash TV Season 2, Episode 10: Potential Energy
The teaser brought some worry for me because it showed the most used material of all and probably what all superheroes have nightmares - losing someone they love at the hands of their archenemies.
It was tried and tested and while this was scary, I wished the show came in …
The X-Files Lazarus Episode
This is another one of what I think was one of my 30 favorite episodes of the popular nineteen nineties American television series “The X-Files”. This is because deals with the whole belief of out of body experiences and whether or not the human body possesses a soul. In …
MASH: The Joker is Wild

CHiPs: The Grudge

“Daredevil” series on Netflix
For years now, it seems like it is government-mandated to watch all of the Marvel films, because as much as I try, I can’t seem to keep myself out of the theater! The “Daredevil” series on Netflix, although successful, seems to not be as etched into the mainstream as …

Adam-12: Elegy for a Pig

Anime: Shakugan no Shana, Season One
I recently bought the complete collection of Shakugan no Shana season one. As a devoted anime fan, it takes quite a bit to really impress me. “Impress” is not strong enough of a word to describe my reaction to Shakugan no Shana. It has instantly displaced Bleach, Naruto, Buso …

Tenspeed and Brown Shoe: Diamonds Aren’t Forever TV Show
The final episode of Tenspeed and Brown Shoe was called Diamonds Aren’t Forever. It’s really a shame this show didn’t catch on because both Ben Vereen and Jeff Goldblum were amazing to watch. The show was clever and witty, and while there was some ham and camp …

Full House TV Show
Who doesn’t love Full House? Sure, Danny sometimes gets so cheesy that you almost have to turn the channel, but seriously I could sit for hours watching it and get a fuzzy feeling inside. Cheesy but true.

Rome - HBO Series
