Survivor Nicaragua: Glitter in Their Eyes TV Show
Survivor Nicaragua: Glitter in Their Eyes was full of fire as events unfolded. There were also a lot of critical moves and, of course, a blind side. That’s what this TV Show is about more often than not, the surprise back stabbing. I’m pretty tired of …

“Plastique” is the second episode of season eight of Smallville. This was a mediocre episode that was really saved by the growing sexual tension between Lois Lane and Clark Kent, as well as an ending that really sets the stage for a larger plot arch for the rest …
House MD

Lie Detector is an intriguing early look at the technology of the lie detector which occurred in this 1956 episode of Highway Patrol.

Diff’rent Strokes (TV sitcom)

The Virginian: The Brazen Bell
The Virginian: The Brazen Bell brought a very interesting portrayal, courtesy of George C. Scott. Royal Dano also did his usual good job. Dano is a character actor who has done more roles than I can count. He’s in at least two shows from season 1 …
TV’s 50 Funniest Phrases
Tonight NBC aired TV’s 50 Funniest Phrases, a celebration of the best 50 phrases in TV history. What I liked about this show is that they ultimately admitted it was a mainstream 50 phrases. Going in and out of commercials, for example, they’d give the top 3 …

Stargate SG-1: Unending

Sea Hunt: Prima Donna was the 36th episode of the underwater adventure series’ third season on the air. Can you imagine that — 36th show, and that wasn’t even the last one. Boy, do I miss those days, which in this case was back in September 1960.
Actually, …

The O’Reilly Factor
There are actually some things I agree with Bill O’Reilly about, but it’s just the way he says them that often grates on my nerves.

Aqua Team Hunger Force
You wouldn’t think watching a cartoon with a talking milkshake, meatball, and box of fries would be all that entertaining, but it is. Aqua Team Hunger Force is one of my favorite shows during the Adult Swim programming on cartoon Network.
