As many of you may know by now, Fox has a new TV show, called Glee. The first premiere was in 2009, after an American Idol episode.

I can’t wait until the premiere of Dancing With The Stars March 22, 2010, so I can see Pamela Anderson dance. I’m pretty sure a lot of people who usually wouldn’t watch the show will tune in this season just to see how skimpy Pamela’s costumes will be. …

CHiPs: The Matchmakers from January 1979 is a fairly entertaining episode from this hour-long police drama which starred Erik Estrada, Larry Wilcox, and Robert Pine. As much as this show is cute and endearing, I also have some problems with how things played out in terms of reactions …

The game itself was …

In watching this second episode of The Apprentice UK, I realized this was a director’s cut. I don’t know if that’s because it’s ‘on demand’ or if that is how the BBC America channel is airing it, but apparently, these aren’t necessarily as they are seen in Britain.
This …

The best part of The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Bounty Hunters’ Convention
