37th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards TV Show

Touching Evil: Justine
In my opinion, the third episode of Touching Evil called Justine was the most intense yet. It was spellbinding at the end. I just couldn’t take my eyes off the screen.
What Justine does is wrap up the story that was begun in the pilot, while also taking …

Everybody Loves Raymond
I’m so sorry that Everybody Loves Raymond is no longer in production, but fortunately, we can see it in reruns practically every day of the week. The show never fails to make me laugh.
I think what is unusual about this show is that its humor is not really …
TVB Series: Burning Flame 3 (Actors)
Kevin Cheng —“ He can take on any role that has to wear a uniform. He looks too good in it. He played very well as a boss. The tone of voice, poise, and confidence was all there. What I like about Kevin is that …

The Virginian: Hideout TV Show

The Andy Griffith Show: Aunt Bee the Warden TV Show

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: A House Divided TV show
I just adore Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: A House Divided for several reasons. The first is that this is one of those shows where just about every regular has their moment. It’s not easy to do that in an ensemble show like this one, but it’s …
The Celebrity Apprentice
Now what I liked about the Celebrity Apprentice was that we knew almost everyone who was competing. There were a few contestants I wasn’t familiar with but the presence of the other celebrities made up for it.
I think the difference between this and the regular Apprentice is that …
The Simpson’s: Little Orphan Millie
Well, that was an interesting episode of the Simpson’s last night “Little Orphan Millie” but it really wasn’t quite as funny as I would expect from this show.

My Name is Earl

Planet Earth TV series
Once again the Discovery Channel comes through with a superb series. The Planet Earth series has without a doubt the most remarkable photography I have seen on a television “nature” series. The producers have spent an exhautive amount of resources in order to present the snapshots of the varied …
Reliance DTH, Big TV
BIG TV is a DTH (Direct to Home) service from Reliance, a Anil Ambani group.

The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 6: Ascension

Outlaw: In Re: Tracy Vidalin TV Show
Outlaw: In Re: Tracy Vidalin gave Jimmy Smits’ character of ex Supreme Court Justice Cyrus Garza a bit of unexpected drama to tackle. This story includes a twist towards the end that some might see coming early on, but others will be surprised at. It is one …
Models of the Runway: Frenemies
So much for a modeling competition without major drama. This week’s episode starts out where last week’s ended; two models at each others throats because one overreacted when she lost her designer and another one over reacted when the first one got mad at her for not keeping her …
MacGyver: Walking Dead

Rescue Me is a phenomenal television program, expertly melding the genres of comedy, drama, and brief snippets of action into a seething, emotionally driven and, at times, flat out hilarious portrayal of life for New York City firefighters, especially in the midst of the tragedies of 9/11. Actor/ Comedian …
The Batman: Episode - A Matter of Family

The Fall Guy: The Fall Guy TV Show
