I had intended on watching the newest Ghost Hunters International episode last night but, since there was a new Law & Order SVU on at the same time, I gave in to my wife’s wishes and watched that with her instead. Fortunately, the episode, entitled Pop, wasn’t too bad.

The episode focuses on Bones’ dad …
Fringe: The Bishop Revival
I finally got a chance to watch a full episode of Fringe last night (I love DVR because it allows me to pause the show until I get my daughter to bed). The episode, The Bishop Revival, was interesting and a bit creepy.

The episode picks up on the prophecy that …
Rome - HBO Series

John Doe: Family Man TV show
Much of the focus in John Doe: Family Man is on Detective Frank Hayes (John Marshall Jones) who is dealing with an impending divorce and custody issues. It’s that same old thing about a cop’s job interfering with family life. While I have sympathy, I also think …
Nighty Night - Series 2

The Simpson’s: Great Wife Hope
I haven’t watched too many new episodes of the Simpson’s lately so I didn’t realize last night’s episode Great Wife Hope, was a repeat rather than a new episode (I looked it up this morning).

Here’s a show to combat video games. Stargate: Infinity: Reality focuses on a world where the inhabitants are found in an auditorium, all playing some virtual reality game and turning into vegetables in the process. I liken this plot device to Stargate SG-1’s The Gamekeeper, where SG-1 …

Stargate SG-1: Past and Present
