Keeping Up with the Kardashians
I turned on the television and was lucky enough to catch an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
Initially I had thought it would be a terrible show and had never bothered watching it, that night however there was nothing on TV and so I watched.
Surprisingly it was really …
Star Trek’s Divine Diva: Nichelle Nichols featurette
Star Trek’s Divine Diva: Nichelle Nichols featurette was a very nice look at the wonderful actress who brought Star Trek’s communication officer, Uhura, to life.
One thing that has always struck me about Nichelle is how much she cared about what she was doing. She doesn’t talk about it …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: And So Died Riabouchinska TV Show
Oh no. It’s another story about a ventriloquist and his wooden doll, this one a female. I really don’t like these stories. I recently watched all of The Twilight Zone and there were several shows of this theme there. Then there was one on Mrs. …

Heroes - Fall Finale
Monday night’s episode of Heroes brought us to a conclusion of the current storyline and the Villains storyline. I thought it was a good idea to end the storyline at this point rather than dragging it out through the second half of the season. The show was …

ABS CBN Documentary on Malnutrition
Abs-Cbn has just broadcasted a documentary film about Philippine’s malnutrition. The title is “Dalawang Mukha ng Malnutrisyon” or “The two faces of Malnutrition”. I know that even fat kids are not well nourished, but I did not realize that making your kids eat whatever they want can actually be …
South Park: The “F” word
This episode was definitely interesting. A bunch of bikers invade the town and make it impossible for anyone to enjoy what they’re doing. At first it seemed like it was going to get repetitive and old, with the bikers trying to make more and more noise in …
Grey’s Anatomy
Yet another hospital drama! Boring, not! It’s not a copycat of ER like one review I read over the world wide web. Grey’s Anatomy is not overrated nor is it filled with overacting characters. I consider this one of the most realistic shows today. The scenes are not overly …

Just as Scully’s mother is preparing her daughter’s headstone, the abducted FBI agent appears in a hospital bed, seemingly out of thin air. None of the doctors have any idea how she got there, who admitted her, or even what her condition is beyond being comatose.

The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 9: Firewalker
This episode is set up very much like “Ice” and “Darkness Falls”. Normally, this would be a good thing. Those were both very good episodes, and I even said that those were prime examples of how to do a one and done monster of the week episode. …
Scrubs TV Show
Scrubs is a TV comedy about a group of hospital employee’s that is shown on NBC Thursday nights at 9 eastern time. It’s quite different than most shows about hospitals, in that it shows you the perspective of how each person sees the events of the day, as if …
The Cleaner: Rag Dolls
Now that I was familiar with some of the shooting styles of The Cleaner and how fast paced it is, watching its second episode, Rag Dolls, was a little easier. One thing I noticed here is that this show has a very distinct visual pattern. They do …
The Simpsons: Dangerous Curves
Tonight was the first time I’ve seen the Simpsons episode Dangerous Curves and I have to say it was one of the more interesting episodes I’ve seen.
Basically, this episode gave us some insight into Homer and Marge’s past; both before she became pregnant and they got married and a …
Mork & Mindy: It’s a Wonderful Mork
Wow, who knew a clever show like Mork & Mindy would have gone down the road so many other shows have gone down; doing it’s own version of It’s a Wonderful Life?”
“It’s a Wonderful Mork” isn’t too bad but it’s still something that has been done before. How many …
The Simpsons: The Mook, The Chef, The Wife and Her Homer

The Wendy Williams Television Talk Show
In a time when everyone from D-list celebrities to former supermodels has their own television talk shows, I find “The Wendy Williams Show” to be extremely refreshing. Every aspect of the show is fabulous- from its larger than life host Wendy Williams to the outrageous and super flamboyant …
Unorthodox : Law & Order SVU
OK, I’ll admit, this was an interesting episode for the most part, but I do have to question exactly why the producers of this show went out of their way to attack the culture of orthodox Jews when the rapist turned out to be a child; not one of …
A Mind to Murder
From 1995, A Mind to Murder is another P.D. James novel put onto film which stars Roy Marsden. Marsden has made a career out of portraying Commander Adam Dalgliesh of Scotland Yard. It’s unusual to see someone play the same role so many times, but I …
Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer: 9-15-10 TV Show
Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer from September 15, 2010 was another waste of time for me. This was just their third show, but again, I have to ask what the point is in watching two immature females trying to control the airwaves?
Alexis is this tall blonde who appears …

The Two Coreys: Episode 2.7 - Role Models
What I have been noticing so far in much of this season’s episodes is that each one is like two sides to a coin - First we have the snobby and conceited fame and fortune lifestyle (the Feldmans), then there’s poor and lost with bridges burnt and only a …
Centennial: The Longhorns
Centennial: The Longhorns is one of the most fun section of this wonderful mini-series. It’s the only focused on the cowboy, and since I love cowboys, I loved this episode.

Models of the Runway
Well, I survived the season premiere of Project Runway and noticed there was a different show on right after, Models of the Runway. Since our infant daughter was wide awake still, i took the time to watch it too.
This was something a bit different. Basically, it is a half …

Catterick
Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer aren’t the most straight laced of comics, and they’re certainly not the kind of performers who’ll appeal to everybody. However, with their sitcom “Catterick”, the offbeat pair manage to deliver something surprisingly…well traditional wouldn’t be the right word to use, but they don’t do …
American Idiol
I started watching American Idol in their first season because I loved to hear people sing. I thought a show that would give the opportunity to an amazing singer, who might not have a chance of otherwise being discovered, was an excellent idea. I loved watching it every …
Third Watch series
I thoroughly enjoy this series as it remind of such winners as ER and Hill Street Blues. The cast of unknowns and minor experienced actors is just perfect. I enjoy these characters and weekly root for such friends as Sully, Faith, Carlos, Kim, Boscorelli, …
