I saw the infomercial for an exercise video called “Hip Hop Abs.” While the concept is really neat, I found this commercial, and the entire routines really corny. Sean T. is some fitness guy who instructs people on how to flatten their abs with some …

For good or bad, I’m one of those people who doesn’t see television commercials. Without even trying, if a commercial comes on my mind goes somewhere, anywhere other than watching commercials.

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 …

Out of all of the Snoopy TV specials, this is my favorite. With the scenes of breakdancing and the energetic songs, it’s the one that says “1980s” the most. I grew up in the 80s so I love a lot of stuff from that decade. And there’s just something …

The Cleaner: Lie With Me is the season ender for year one, and frankly, I just don’t get it. I was ultra disappointed in this show. It’s all about the Banks family and how it suddenly spirals downward. All season long, the story has been about …

Laramie: The Track of the Jackal from season 2 is one of my favorites because it is one that gives Jess Harper (Robert Fuller) some emotional angst. It opens by sending Slim Sherman (John Smith) on a trip while explaining that Jess is going to be the temporary …

Well, I didn’t know what to expect from last night’s season premiere of Bones last night; mostly because, how last season ended really made me think the show would start going downhill in a hurry.

I think that this, even more so than the two previous episodes, acts as a proto-typical X-Files episode. It has all the things that X-Files fans love. It’s far more atmospheric than the other two and has a stronger story to tell compared to the other two.
It …
