Heroes Episode 4.1 and 2 Orientation/Jump, Push, Fall
I had fallen out of love with Heroes. The first season was quite good. The second season was slow for the first half, and while it started to pick up near the end, the writer’s strike broke the momentum and cut the season short. The third …

ASAP ‘08
I don’t like watching TV nowadays, but every Sunday I do try to watch ABS-CBN Channel 2’s ASAP 2008. That is a variety show, where most of the contract stars of Channel 2 dances, or sings. They have quite a lot of features in that show two; it is …
Ghost Hunters TV Episode: Ghosts in the Attic
I don’t know, I just can’t get enthused about the show Ghost Hunters any more.

Anthology for Rania

Adam 12 - Log 1
Adam-12 is quality TV. In fandom, it’s part of what many call Webb TV, shows produced by the late Jack Webb. He had a knack for drama that was straight forward and yet still entertaining, and Adam-12 is a perfect example of that.
