The most fun portion was a scene in Dalgliesh’s office …

My wife and I have been getting a bit bored with some of the shows we normally watch; at least now that we have seen pretty much every older episode. So, for our nightly time alone together, we decided to take a chance and watch something a bit different …

The Cosby Show is timeless. Even though this show most likely came out before I was even born, I still enjoy watching it. Bill Cosby is funny but in a very classy way. He adds a certain elegance to the show. I appreciate the fact that Bill plays the …

Stargate SG-1: Lockdown is one of the best episodes of season eight; in fact, of all of the latter seasons of the show. It’s full of good stuff.

The Ray Bradbury Theater: Boys! Raise Giant Mushrooms in Your Cellar! which aired in November 1989 must be Bradbury’s answer to every B-movie science fiction plot about Earth being taken over by space invaders, especially things like The Blob.
The story starts innocently enough with a boy named Tom …

Dominion is the second to the last episode of Stargate SG-1 and frankly, it bored me stiff. I don’t like the Ori, don’t care about Adria, don’t like Ba’al, and am just extremely frustrated by Daniel not being Daniel, not to mention all the times he’s been put …

I haven’t really been watching this season of Project Runway; mostly because the last season just ended. But, I did watch last night’s challenge; the Hi’s and Lows of Fashion.
This challenge was actually somewhat interesting. Once again, the show decides to create tension by having the designers pair up …

I have a very big problem with Tales of the Gold Monkey: High Stakes Lady. The difference between this show and Bring ‘Em Back Alive, which totally butchered the subtle love affair between its leads, was this show is that in this series, the leads were a tad …

Stargate SG-1: Meridian is a show that changed the course of the series, and it’s one that frankly, I don’t watch. I saw it the first time and a couple of times after, and I’ve seen scattered scenes here and there, but otherwise, I refuse to watch it …

The Prisoner: A. B. and C. is more intriguing to me than the few other episodes I’ve seen thus far. It might be because it’s not so much the crazy FX or even The Village, but has as its setting a party scene, probably in London. The …

The Doctor and crew arrive in 2020, only to come across some mysterious phenomena. There are patches of blue grass seen around the area and the Earth itself seems to be pulling people in. No, it’s not the work of Gaia, but the work of a species …

CSI Season 4 Episode 3- Homebodies
That was a very average episode, I did not think much about it. Some of it was just plain boring. So it was good, since the show is great, but compared to other episodes on the show, this one was a bit disappointing.
Grissom and …

I really like Gail Simmons, who is the host of the reality competition show. She …

Midway through the second season of Highway Patrol, the episode which aired was called Counterfeit. I actually found this show to have an interesting set up. It captured my interest and had me watching. It didn’t even feel dated to me, and that says a lot …

As I have seen most of the episodes of the first season of show Seven days I knew, more or less, what to expect in seconds season. Actually I was expecting some little improvements because it usually happens that way. Then again, the first episode should also be a …

As a young child, I adored watching TV westerns. I definitely had my favorites and still do. No western for me is as great as Laramie, for example. That said, many westerns held my interest and curiosity, including Have Gun - Will Travel, a show that …

Having always been a fan of most true crime dramas on the former Court TV, which of course is now known as Tru TV, I immediately liked the show “Cold Case Files” when it aired on CBS.

I find Dunkin Donuts new television commercial, which keeps referencing the word “coffee” with customrs making the italics symbol with their hands, to be highly annoying. Yes, America may in all actuality run on Dunkin, but I think that with a cute and catchy phrase like that, they …

There are many television shows out there that are geared to toddlers. My most favourite right now for my two-year old is Blue’s Clues. Blue’s Clues is partly animated and is based on a young man and his puppy.

I have always liked Star Trek: The Omega Glory, primarily for that big speech Kirk makes towards the end. I love the Kirk orations. They’re so patriotic.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 62 has Ed, AlIzumi, Mustang, Hawkeye, Ling/Greed, Lan Fan and Hoehenheim, along with the entire Amestrian military giving it everything they’ve got in order to defeat Father who is trying to make more Philosopher’s Stones.
This episode was excellent, it was very moving and it’s hard …

This episode was actually …

Top Chef: Just Desserts: Lucent Dossier was probably the most unique of all the Top Chef shows from all seasons, and that wasn’t necessarily a good thing. In fact, it brought up a lot of questions. These pastry chefs have more emotional issues than the regular top …
