HPV Commercials
Whoever is broadcasting HPV commercials on television stations, deserves a metal as far as I am concerned. Because this disease is acutally a virus that when contracted, has the potential to cause cancer in women, I think that it is wonderful that there is being time devoted to …

Project Runway: What a girl wants
If designing for the judges each week isn’t tough enough, Project Runway’s episode, What a Girls Wants, really sets the designers up for a reality check.

Star Trek: Voyager - Parallax
“Parallax” is an episode that I enjoyed quite a lot, not so much for the science fiction aspect of the story which I actually found pretty dull and loaded with a lot of talk that didn’t quite make much sense to me since it was all talk that centered …

Sea Hunt: Point of No Return TV Show
Sea Hunt: Point of No Return , the opening show of the series’ fourth and final TV season which aired in January 1961, was a bit different. That was mostly a good thing. However, it was also a little confusing in a couple of spots.
The reason the …
BBQ Pitmasters: Season 2 Premier TV Show
The second season of BBQ Pitmasters premiered this week. I only caught a few token scenes of this series last year, so this is really the first complete show of the show that I’ve seen. I do recognize some of the faces, though, including judge Myron Nixon, …
Fireball XL5: The Forbidden Planet
The opening scene of Fireball XL5: The Forbidden Planet at Venus’ beach house is a kick. There’s a discussion about TV being boring and Steve Zodiac wanting to watch intergalactic sports all the time. It’s a conversation that a lot of families have had, I’m sure. …
Highway Patrol: Rabies TV Show
The 39th show of Highway Patrol’s second season on the air was called Rabies. I don’t like the title because I’m an animal lover, and I don’t want to see any animal hurt. It’s just something I don’t enjoy seeing. At any rate, the show opens …
Adam 12 - Log 92
This particular episode of “Adam-12″, “Log 92″ was one of the most dramatic and tragic shows of the series. It’s something we see everyday, how little things end up being a nightmare, how people lose control over silly issues, and how the failure to take a calming breath, …

Sleepy Hollow TV Show Episode Two: Blood Moon

The Office show
The Office was adapted from the BBC show of the same title and is by far one of the funniest and smartest shows on television. It was adapted for the US by Greg Daniels, the producer of The Simpsons and King of the Hill, and, in my opinion, …
Roseanne Season One
The first season of Roseanne actually held up a lot better than I thought it would, especially considering that the show first aired almost two decades ago. I picked up the box set fairly cheap and ended up watching the whole season in one weekend because it was really …
Columbo: Double Exposure TV Show
I adore Double Exposure, which is a third season entry for our favorite unassuming detective series, Columbo. As always, Peter Falk does a superb job. In fact, I just love how he faces off against his foe in this episode.
The reason I’ve always remembered Double Exposure over …

Barry Corbin guest stars as Sgt. Joe Vickers in M*A*S*H: Your Retention Please. Vickers’ task is to try and get personnel to extend their tour of duty, which doesn’t go over very well with some of the regulars. It does, though, bring on some funny scenes, especially …
Law and Order: SVU Season 5
I’ve always loved the Law and Order franchise, and SVU or Special Victims Unit in particular. One of their best seasons has to be season 5. I purchased the set on DVD when it was first released, and make it a habit to re-watch the season again at least …
Stargate SG-1: Lifeboat
It took seven years for Producer Robert C. Cooper to admit Michael Shanks could act (duh), and the admission came with Stargate SG-1: Lifeboat, a season seven entry that was a showcase for Shanks’ enormous acting talent.

Stargate SG-1: Gemini
From an excellent episode to a not-so-excellent episode. This is the case as season eight of Stargate SG-1 continued, airing a show called Gemini. Now, there are some unique things about this show, but it’s all too predictable and, once again, everyone lets Sam off the hook. …
Matt Lauer
I have watched many different news commentators in my life but none can ever compare to channel 4 MBC Mr. Matt Lauer. He has such an expertise in the field of newscasting. Its simply amazing how you can actually feel the sensitivity in his heart when he …

Simpsons - That Birdie In the Window

Masters of Horror: Sounds Like — TV show

Remington Steele: Steele Trap TV Show
It seems incredible that a new program on TV like Remington Steele would have two very similar concepts done back to back, but that’s the case with this outing from season one called Steele Trap. Just before this show, there was another where Steele and Laura Holt were …
The Office: Branch Wars
The Office is one of the more hit or miss shows on television in my opinion. It’s not even just from episode to episode. There will be four or five jokes in a single scene and only one or two will be funny, but those jokes can make me …
