The 67th Golden Globe Awards - 2010
I’m not sure I’ve enjoyed an awards show as much as I did The 67th Golden Globes - 2010 in January. I’m not sure why. I’m no fan of Ricky Gervais, the host, and his contribution did nothing to make me smile. Well, I did laugh …
American Idol TV show
Every year, I keep promising myself that I will not get sucked back into watching another season of “American Idol.” I just get way too caught up in the weekly results aspect of it. I keep telling myself that I will not ride that emotional rollercoaster again.
Then, of …
Stargate SG-1: Gemini
From an excellent episode to a not-so-excellent episode. This is the case as season eight of Stargate SG-1 continued, airing a show called Gemini. Now, there are some unique things about this show, but it’s all too predictable and, once again, everyone lets Sam off the hook. …
Pokemon (TV Show) - Clefairy and the Moonstone (Episode)
“Clefairy and the Moonstone” is an episode of the Pokemon television series. What is perhaps most interesting about this episode is the story. I like how this episode exhibits a certain degree of mystery by exploring whether or not the Clefairy and Clefable came from outer space and I …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Gingerbread
Of all the season three episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer I’ve seen in the past couple of days, the episode Gingerbread is one of my favorites.

Samurai Jack show
I love to watch cartoon shows, and I just enjoy it very much. Few years back a new show came on “Cartoon Network” channel called “Samurai Jack”. When I first watch this show I felt love with this cartoon. It is different from all kind of “traditional” carton show …

3rd Season of Heroes
The whole season of Heroes season 3 has been quite a ride. I guess there could never be any other series that would have this impact on me as the Heroes have. I followed through the first season, can’t wait for the 2nd season and now that I am …
Dick VanDyke Show
Ok, I confess, I’ve never watched the Dick VanDyke show before and the only reason I watched it the other night was it came on after another show I was watching and I was too lazy to walk across the room to grab the remote control.
However, I will admit, …

Birdseye Steamfresh Brussel Sprouts
My wife and I had a chicken dinner last night and wanted a vegetable to go with it. Since we hadn’t had brussel sprouts in a while, we decided to pick up a bag of them from the Birdseye Steamfresh brand.
I was very disappointed.
To be fair, I usually don’t …
The Brady Bunch
I grew up watching “The Brady Bunch” and probably know the plot of every joyously corny episode. The great thing is that, due to the advent of cable television, other generations are able to enjoy this show, too, and I can tune in and satisfy my need for some …
CHiPs: Return of the Turks

Once Upon a Time (ABC tv series)
I’ve always had a love for Fairy tales and Disney movies and so I was intrigued when a family member introduced “Once Upon a Time” to me. I didn’t have a lot of hope for it though since it looked a little low budget and I didn’t see how …
CSI Season 6 Episode 2 Room Service
I didn’t like this episode at all because of the way that it was filmed and edited. The writing was actually not bad. In this episode the team investigates two murders. One of a hot male celebrity and another of a poor Thai immigrant. From the very beginning of …
Adam-12: The Search
From October 1971, Adam-12: The Search is one of the very best episodes of the entire police series. It’s incredibly dramatic, emotional, and angst-ridden in all the very best ways.
In the show, Martin Milner’s Officer Pete Malloy is in a pursuit of a criminal when his vehicle crashes, …
K-ON! Anime
“K-ON!” is the anime series that I am currently hooked on and I strongly recommend it to anime lovers who enjoy watching series that are funny, enjoyable, exciting and educational. The fact that this anime also has lots of great songs in it is another bonus! The first time …
Stargate Atlantis: Enemy at the Gate
And that’s all they wrote for Stargate Atlantis with this last episode, Enemy at the Gate. After just five seasons, the science fiction series was shown the door with a promise for a made-for-DVD movie that to this date shows little sign of being realized; at least, not …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Haunting of the New TV Show
File this one under weird and move on to the next. Actually, to be honest, The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Haunting of the New isn’t the worst of these that I’ve seen, but at the same time, this episode from the science fiction series third year is …
Orchestra United: Episode 4 TV Show
This is the big moment, the big show, for Orchestra United. It’s just the fourth episode, but apparently, that’s all there is. I’m just stunned that an entire year has gone by since 75 high schoolers were brought together to form the band. For that, we’ve …
Parking Wars: S4, Ep 4 TV Show
Parking Wars continued its fourth TV season with this episode that focused on events in Detroit as well as Philadelphia.

The Cosby Show. A TV Sitcom
For those of us who grew up during the late 1980’s and early 1990’s there is no more memorable sitcom than “The Cosby Show”. To me “The Cosby Show” was a big part of my childhood and a sitcom that still reigns as my favorite sitcom of all …
Diagnosis Murder: The 13 Million Dollar Man TV Show
The music that opened up the fifth episode of Diagnosis Murder, an episode called The 13 Million Dollar Man was very entertaining. It actually made me laugh in that it was an upbeat coy number, very playful in a mysterious sort of way. It was cool. …

Masquerade: Diamonds
The opening of this all-too-brief TV drama is a song called, appropriately, Masquerade and is sung by Crystal Gayle, who was one of the hottest country western music singers of the era. I love listening to it. I also love the beginning before the sung starts when …
Judge Judy the TV show
Judge Judy is a pretty good show and there are quite a few things that I really like about it. The first thing would be Judge Judy herself, she is very entertaining and I love her attitude because she is tough and she doesn’t take no crap from anybody …
The Boondocks
After watching two seasons of the hit cartoon series, The Boondocks, I cannot help but hope that the creators will make a third season.

The Andy Griffith Show: Barney and the Choir TV Show
From season two, The Andy Griffith Show: Barney and the Choir is a hoot. It has story problems in terms of continuity, but you just can’t beat this for entertainment.
This is a theme that was repeated multiple times over the course of this series while Don Knotts was …
Laramie: Rimrock TV Show
Laramie is my all time favorite show. The stories were fresh and intriguing, and the stories were just top notch. This episode from the third season is called Rimrock. It actually starts out very fun and carefree with a scene that really made me smile and …
Columbo: A Deadly State of Mind TV Show
George Hamilton guest stars as Dr. Mark Collier in Columbo: A Deadly State of Mind. Hamilton appeared in another episode later that I prefer over this one, which is a okay, but not as good as the other one. This show is all about the power of …

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Faith, Hope & Trick

This one is an OK episode because I absolutely love the villain in this one and see potential in the …

The show Dancing with the stars is a really innovative idea for a talent show. It displays dancing talent of stars that are not dancers. But by the end of the show you wonder why they dont become one. Everyone becomes a professional dancer. You …
The Andy Griffith Show: Class Reunion TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Class Reunion, which aired in February 1963, was a rather nostalgic, almost melodramatic episode. It clearly set the end to any notion of Andy and Nurse Peggy, who is now a non-factor.
The show began with Barney Fife (Don Knotts) bringing some things over to …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Welcome to the Hell Mouth
My wife and I recently decided to try watching the old Buffy the Vampire Slayer series on DVD from start to finish; starting with the first episode “Welcome to the Hell Mouth.”

The story-line on this …
Gia movie (1998)

M*A*S*H: Hanky Panky
B.J. Hunnicutt (Mike Farrell) becomes one of the masses instead of a lone devoted soul when he cheats on his wife in M*A*S*H: Hanky Panky from season five. While the resolution is okay, I always thought it was a shame that they had this story. It’s just …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Complete First Season
Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Complete First Season is a fun season to sit down and watch. When I say fun, I mean that there is plenty of comedy and adventure to be enjoyed. I know that the writing isn’t all that well-crafted or deep at times …
Entourage
I have always liked Mark Wahlberg so when I heard he was producing television show based on his life I was excited to see it.
Entourage delivers in more ways than one. Firstly it’s like a reality show but better, it’s peppy, fast and the dialogue is quick and …
I Love Lucy Series- DVD Boxed Set
I Love Lucy is a television show from the 1950’s. The boxed DVD set for the show is a great way to pay tribute to a long standing comedic work of genius. Lucille Ball was one of the funniest people in the world. She can make me laugh no …
Justice League Unlimited: the Doomsday Sanction
Typically “Justice League Unlimited” focused on the less famous members of the Justice league and that is good. It adds depth to the D.C. universe which isn’t in most cartoons because they need to focus on a few characters.
The second thing it does is serve as a contrast to …
