Have Gun - Will Travel: Ella West starts a little differently with Paladin (Richard Boone) arriving in Abilene, so we don’t get the normal San Francisco beginning. Variety is good, though, so it’s nice to get a shake up in the opening scene. That doesn’t necessarily mean …

I have been watching the Simpsons for years and I have to say last night’s re-run “How the Test was Won” had to be the funniest episode I have seen of this series; or at least among the funniest.
Springfield takes part in standardized testing in an effort to get …

First and foremost, it should be noted that this anime series can easily unnerve some people. There is a plethora of psychotic moments and gore, injuries and deaths littering the series. The plot itself can seem wicked, especially the main characters.
It is a tale of a game of survival …

I opted to purchase On Demand Television in my home. As a result, I have wound up getting four hundred some odd television channels that I thought I would never utilize. I suppose I underestimated the the addictive nature of being spoiled enough to have such a …

I’m inside today with a sick child and sick wife so I’m having a marathon of sorts by watching old Psych episodes. This included the season 1 episode “Spellingg Bee.”

This one is a bit sad to be honest, not only is Shawn’s girlfriend (who I just realized …

Like Entertainment Tonight, Showbiz Tonight is a show that started nicely years ago, but has now undergone format, tone, and personnel changes that just don’t go over well with me. This show is like a tabloid on steroids. It’s non-stop hype that annoys, and it’s very repetitive.
There …

Basically, Bart sneaks out to go to a rap concert. But, he’s afraid of his punishment so he ends …

I was amazed with the first High School musical when I saw it on the disney channel. I grooved with the song “We’re all in this together”. There I was interested. I was also entertained with Ashley Tisdale’s snob attitude. Her bitchy styles was totally hilarious. So, when the …

I have seen the premiere of this show and have some mixed feelings. I know that obesity is a big issue in this country (lame pun). But I am having a hard time believing that the people behind this show aren’t trying to somehow exploit overweight …

MacGyver: Pirates has some fun stuff in it. Actually the best part for me was when MacGyver was trapped on a sinking boat and had to try and get out before drowning. It was quite a challenge and made for an exciting scene.
There’s a good cast providing …

The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Pirates was a bit of a disappointment for me. I always expect pirate themes to have a real edge to them, some real swashbuckling swagger and color. When I don’t get that, it colors things negatively. I just don’t feel …

I do mean underway in one of the …
