CSI: Hard Evidence
CSI: Hard Evidence for the Nintendo Wii duplicates the feeling and the style of the hit television show very well in my opinion. I enjoy watching the show and examining the clues with the characters, so I figured playing a game where I was in charge of solving the …
Afro Samurai Episode 2 (Anime)
Afro is found and nursed back to health by a woman named Okiku (Kelly Hu). But there may be more to her than just her taking care of Afro (Samuel Jackson).

Naruto Episode 32 Subbed
This episode has some action in it, but not a lot, and it certainly is not very exciting. Despite the fact that we have seen very little of Rock Lee in the previous episodes, everything we have seen points at him as being quite powerful, but he is nothing …
Russell Howards Good News - T.V Show - BBC3
I have always been a fan of Russell Howard since he started appearing on Mock The Week, but he did always strike me as being a touch geeky, so watching him off a panel show I was never quite sure would have the same impact.
His series, Russell Howards Good …
Big Bang Theory Season 5 Episode 9 (TV series)

Blue’s Clues Television Show

Fear the Walking Dead (Horror Drama Television Series)
AMC’s The Walking Dead has been one of my favourite television drama series for a few years now.

Buffy the vampire Slayer
I really enjoyed the series, or at least most of it. I have watched and rewatched it, laughed, cried and been terrified. And for the most part it was a good television show but there were some things that really annoyed me.
I hated the way they were inconsistent with …

Law & Order SVU
Finally. After almost a full season, Law & Order: SVU seems to be getting back to solving cases and eliminating a lot of the side-stories.
Last night’s episode Choreographed was fantastic. It involved the return of Olivia Benson as Elliott Stabler’s partner and focused on solving a crime, not the …
That Girl: Write Is Wrong
For one of the few times that I can remember in this show, the opening of That Girl actually references something that happened in the show just prior to it. Ann Marie and Don Hollinger meet Harry Cook, played by William Schallert, at a party. He recollects …
House: 5 to 9
Well, when I heard last night’s House episode, 5 to 9, was being told through the eyes of Cuddy versus House, I had some serious doubts. She is quickly becoming my least favorite character on the show and I didn’t think I would enjoy the episode.
But, I have to …

Forever Knight tv series
As I was remembering the popular series “Renegade” recently, I also remembered the television series “Forever Knight” that used to air on local television around that same period of time. When the series “Forever Knight” started to air on the local television channel that brought it in the nineteen …
Entourage show
I watched a couple of shows, until I finally realized I don’t much like it. In fact, I don’t understand all the hype about this show. It’s shallow, the cast are like two bit actors who’ve never heard of acting workshops, and the storyline isn’t at all fantastic.
This show …
House TV Episode: Lockdown

The premise was OK, the hospital is locked down …
The Fall Guy: License to Kill: Part 1 TV Show

Birds of Prey episode 8: Lady Shiva

Said enemy is Lady Shiva, …
M*A*S*H: Divided We Stand
Season two begins with M*A*S*H: Divided We Stand, which in many ways seems to be a quick study guide to the uninitiated of this military comedy. The opening has General Clayton (Herb Voland) discussing the personnel of the 4077th. This essentially provides an overview of the …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Hanging of Aaron Gibbs TV Show

Sitcom The Office
To me, The Office is by far one of the funniest sitcoms I’ve ever watched. It’s about an office (of course)which is named Dunder Mifflin that sells paper products. What I like most about the show, is simply the outrageous things Michael Scott says or does. Michael (who is …
