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 …

M*A*S*H: That Darn Kid
M*A*S*H: That Darn Kid is the final episode of season 10 and it’s a comedy focused one, unlike the previous season’s rather downbeat episode. For the second time during the series, Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) is paymaster, a job he doesn’t look forward to at all.
Just when Hawkeye’s …

Bones: The He in the She
As far as the Bones episode The He in the She is concerned, it was a slight improvement over other episodes this season but not by much.

NCIS Los Angles Season 3 Episode 8 (TV show)

G.I. (Annoyed Grunt)
I have been very disappointed with the Simpsons series lately. Last night’s episode “G.I.” did redeem them a little bit.
The episode, which had Homer enlisting in the Army only to be hunted down as part of a war games exercise, brought the show back to its political satire roots.
It …
The Andy Griffith Show: Up in Barney’s Room TV Show

Seinfeld
Seinfeld was always one of my favorite TV shows growing up. Even to this day I can watch this show over and over and never get bored of it. I think Seinfeld is a true comedy classic. Seinfeld has classic characters that we will remember forever like Kramer. And this …
The X-Files Fallen Angel Episode

Here Come the Brides: The Deadly Trade
Here Come the Brides: The Deadly Trade is the final episode of the first season and quite honestly, I’m not really crazy about it. It’s just a little darker than I like, and there is an animal bit that has always disturbed me.
The danger of logging is finally …
Barney show
My almost two-year-old loves this show. It is one of her favorites, along with the Big Comfy Couch. I could do without watching it, but I like that she has a show or two that she likes, so I can have a bit of a break during the day.
As …

Ghost Whisperer: Leap of Faith

The Amazing Race: S17, Ep 4 TV Show
What I loved about this fourth episode of The Amazing Race’s 17th season is that it showed the teams giving back a little by helping to renovate an elementary school. Survivor started giving back years ago, so why it’s taken The Amazing Race so long to realize that …
Doctor Who: Season 3, episode 3: Gridlock
When I read the general synopsis of this episode, I didn’t think it would work out that well. The idea of a gigantic traffic jam isn’t a bad one, but it doesn’t exactly scream excitement. As it turns out, this episode managed to turn me around and …

Stargate SG-1: Lost City Part 2
Stargate SG-1: Lost City Part 2 is rather frustrating, even though it’s a fairly well crafted conclusion to the seventh season.

That being said, even though I’ve watched several episodes of Ghost Hunters and have seen …
Mr. Monk & the Candidate
I got the first season of the show Monk for Christmas and finally got a chance to watch the very first episode again; Mr. Monk and the Candidate. This is a fantastic episode.
