COPS
“COPS” airs on Fox and each episode revolves around the daily experiences of police officers, as they go out on their patrols. I’m sure that, realistically-speaking, there are moments in a cop’s day that are very routine or mundane, but “COPS” focuses on the more dramatic aspects of …

Dawson’s Creek

The Impressions Show - BBC1 - Comedy Sketch Show
When impressions are done well, they can be funny and enjoyable but The Impressions Show on BBC is a little embarrassing to watch to be honest. Im never keen on watching comedy sketch shows where canned laughter is used to make people think the jokes are funny and …

Highlander/The Source
This was not the Highlander we all know and love. The Duncan in this movie was dark and brooding and unsure of himself. The movie was choppy-it didn’t have a good flow. There wasn’t much information about the characters and how they all came together. It didn’t …

The Twilight Zone: Time Enough at Last TV Show

Here are a few ups and downs …
Star Trek: The Way to Eden TV Show
Fandom is divided over this episode, but I love it. To me, Star Trek: The Way to Eden is a hoot. It’s not an Emmy winner, no, but it is a solid, fun, and entertaining hour. Here are a few thoughts about this episode that stand …
Rescue Me show
Rescue Me with Dennis Leary.
Dennis Leary did stand up comedy, I think, as a persona of the pessimistic character that is just an ugly drunk. Doing a series full of negative speaking characters is definitely a viewer’s nightmare.
The Show starts off with …

YOUNG SHELDON, series
As a fan of THE BIG BANG THEORY, I couldn’t help but watch its spin-off YOUNG SHELDON.

Family Guy 100th Episode
I�m not a huge fan of Family Guy. The jokes in it can be funny but they are a bit too crude for my taste. However, when the 100th episode was on the other day, I did decide to give it a chance. And, again, I was disappointed.
The idea …
Justice League Unlimited Season One: This Little Piggy
This Little Piggy is the sixth episode of season one of Justice League Unlimited. The first 90% of the episode is really bad. Wonder Woman is turned into a pig and the Justice League has to find her before she is turned into bacon, literally.
