Banana Split sitcom
What separates Banana Split from other sitcoms in the Philippines is the number of girls (and how fresh they are) in the casting. Actually, Banana Split boasts of an all-girls cast which would keep your eyes glued to the television.
Girls seem to be a staple in every sitcom. …

Diagnosis Murder: The Plague TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: The Plague had some good moments in it. I love shows with angst, but there really wasn’t as much of that as you might think from the title. In fact, in one sense you could say that The Plague was educational, informing the public of …
America’s Got Talent: Semi-Finals Results Part 2 TV Show
I really haven’t enjoyed this season of America’s Got Talent. The talent has been decent, but I’ve so often disagreed with the judges. It’s a bit disheartening to see some of the insanity that goes on with the judging. I have no problem with America’s votes …
Roots Mini Series
I am embarrassed to admit that as an African-American I am just now seeing the mini-series Roots for the first time in my late twenties. BET recently had a marathon of it for Black History Month, and I thought it would be the perfect time for me to sit …

Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Dead Run
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Dead Run is another standard; no, make that, below average outing of an adventure series that just has never found its core. With Bruce Boxleitner starring as Frank Buck, big game hunter and adventure seeker, the show just doesn’t know what it wants to …
Law and Order Special Victims Unit: “Stocks and Bondage” Episode
I actually started watching the Law and Order: Special Victims Unit episode “Stocks and Bondage” fifteen minutes into it so unfortunately I did not get to see the introduction to find out what happened. However, thankfully one does not have to see the very first part in order to …
John Doe: John Deux TV show
In October 2002, John Doe: John Deux aired and presented the unusual aspect of having yet a second amnesia victim pop up near Seattle in just about the same way that John Doe (Dominic Purcell) did. Naturally, that piques John’s interest.
One of the most memorable parts of this …
Spongebob Squarepants Season One: Ripped Pants
Ripped Pants was by far my favorite Spongebob Squarepants episode ever. Even after the first time I had ever saw it I knew it was going to be a classic. I have watched many of Spongebob countdowns with my two daughters on television before and this particular episode has …
Stargate SG-1: 1969
1969 was indeed a very good year, at least for the team members of SG-1 when they end up walking through the Stargate and finding themselves not in their own time anymore.

Faerie Tale Theater: Goldilocks and the Three Bears
My daughter ended up watching another episode of the 1980s show Faerie Tale Theater this past weekend; Goldilocks and the Three Bears. And, much like other episodes of the show, this one proved to be pretty entertaining for pretty much everyone in our family.
They kept the same basic plot …
Fame: Street Kid

CSI New York Season 4 Episode 12- Happily Never After
I thought this episode was really smart. I didn’t like all of it, but the scientific parts of it were really interesting. The second case was really good.
In the first case Fiona Chislom, a hotel-owner, hater by everyone to the extend that when her body is found, the people …
Seven days season 3 Episode 5 Olga’s Excellent Vacation

Doctor Who: Season 1, Episode 5: World War Three
This episode picks up where “Aliens in London” left off, with the nefarious Slitheen enacting their plot that puts the whole world in danger.

Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Escape from Kampoon
Escape from Kampoon is the next episode of Bring ‘Em Back Alive, which stars Bruce Boxleitner, Cindy Morgan, and Clyde Kusatsu. Quite frankly, this entire series was disappointing for me. Not much about it appeals. This episode is one of the better ones, which only indicates …
