Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends
It used to be I would only tune into Cartoon Network for their Adult Swim line up after 9:30 at night. Now, I’m watching almost all the time in no small part to their show Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends.
Centering around a foster home for abandoned imaginary friends, the …
Death of an Expert Witness - Part 3

Battle 360 History Channel
“Battle 360″ is a TV show displayed on the History Channel every Friday night at 10 Eastern. It is a nearly commercial-free look at the history of the USS Enterprise (a carrier) in the second World War. It is, of course geared towards history-buffs, but I believe that even …

Models of the Runway: Chic Clique

The Fall Guy: That’s Right, We’re Bad TV Show
The Fall Guy: That’s Right, We’re Bad has that classic bit that ends up included in the opening theme, where Colt Seavers (Lee Majors) is trying to take a bath and everyone under the sun keeps coming in. It’s humorous. There’s a reason for it, of course, …
Stargate SG-1: Moebius Part 1
Stargate SG-1: Moebius Part 1 continues the arc that I’m not fond of, even though, as I’ve said, there are some good moments. Basically, SG-1 goes back in time to get a ZPM and messes things up.
Here’s the good and bad of this particular show:
–Another recurring character is …
CSI Season 5 Episode 4
CSI Season 5 Episode 4
It wasn’t a bad episode, yet it wasn’t very good either. Very average for the show. And I think, it was trying to send some moral lesson, but it wasn’t clear enough to do that. Also, the method in both cases was similar- the writing …

The Ray Bradbury Theater: Marionettes, Inc. TV Show
From May 1985, The Ray Bradbury Theater: Marionettes, Inc. was an interesting piece of entertainment.

Instead, his opening introduction is …

The Second Leaders’ Debate, UK general election campaign 2010
The second of the live leaders’ debates to be held during this year’s U.K. general election campaign was, I thought, less of an interesting affair than the first one, and not only because that first debate had had the obvious advantage of being something of a novelty. This time …

Unfortunate the show “The Wonderpets” on Noggin is something that could be a good idea if they had developed it further. The issue is that there are only about five episodes. I mean, how many times can the stupid cow get stuck in a tree with a tornado on …
