MASH: The Joker is Wild

America’s Got Talent - July 27, 2010 TV Show
Sometimes I love America’s Got Talent, and sometimes it bores me. I’m not fond of any of the judges, who make no sense in who they put through or buzz out. It’s not that I like David Hasselhoff, but I miss him. I’m not a fan …

Surviving the Cut: Navy EOD TV Show

Supernatural Season 6 Episode 2: “Two and a Half Men”

Dancing with the Stars - 3/22/10 TV Show
Dancing with the Stars began its 10th season by introducing Brooke Burke as the new co-host, replacing Samantha Harris. Brooke was too low key. She’s hosted before so I was surprised she didn’t have more spark to her frequent bits on the show. Maybe it was …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Beer Bad

Law & Order SVU: Annihilated
OK, the SVU episode “Annihilated” had to be one of the most twisted, sick and sad episodes I’ve seen. Seriously, how can someone do something like that to their family?
