Living Single show
Sometimes when I watch television, which is rare now of days when I have the internet for that, I like to see shows that they just don’t put on TV anymore. Living Single is definitely one of those shows that makes me feel nostalgic, like I just wish there …

Digital Max, Cox Cable Character
I guess this is my day to vent about television commercials I find detestable.
Chief among the television ads that make me personally queasy are the series of commercials featuring Digital Max, the digital character with the blue sweater and obnoxious wisecracks. This character is supposed to influence live …
The Beast: The Complete First Season DVD Set
The Beast: The Complete First Season DVD Set contains three disks in slim packs, 2 in the first and one in the other. There is a ‘play all’ option for the episodes, which I consider to be crucial. Each of the first two disks has four episodes …

Family Guy: Peter’s Daughter
OK, I have to admit it, the Family Guy episode “Peter’s Daughter” has got to be one of the funniest episodes I’ve seen of any program on television.
There are two major plot points to this episode; both related to a flood that takes place in the opening minutes.
First, you …

Star Trek’s third and final season begins with a dramatic outing called Spock’s Brain, which begins with a beautiful young woman popping up on the Enterprise bridge, knocking everyone out, and walking away with Spock’s brain, hence the title of the episode.
I love the scene on the bridge when …
House: Birthmarks
The last few House episodes have been kind of sucky considering Wilson has been AWOL from the show following his falling out with House. So, it was great to see an episode “Birthmarks” that finally brings him back.
In a way, this was a bit of a depressing episode because …
The Singing Bee (CMT version)
In 2007, NBC launched a musical competition show called The Singing Bee. The host was Joey Fatone, who was hot off his comeback success in Dancing with the Stars. I really enjoyed that show, much better than rival Fox’s Don’t Forget the Lyrics. Unfortunately for me, …

Can a number bring thrill and suspense to television viewers? I’d like to think so and 24 has done a very good job at that.

Bones TV Episode: The Predator in the Pool
I’m not sure, but it really seems like the show Bones is starting to go downhill a bit ever since they insisted on focusing on Booth and Brennan as a potential couple.
Last night’s episode, The Predator in the Pool, didn’t do much to make me think otherwise either. While …
Touching Evil: Mercy
Touching Evil: Mercy was the season ender for this show. It began with a more detailed look at David Creegan’s near-death three years earlier. I had thought maybe they were going to focus on that completely and maybe get the shooter, but it was just more background …
Wife Swap
ABC presents Wife Swap on Monday nights usaully at nine o’clock. I am addicted. I admit it. Its a good show that requires two wives from differing states and homes to switch places. The idea is that both families will walk away appreciating their mom/wife …
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire

The O.C Series
The O.C. Is a top TV series and is one of my personal favourites. The O.C tells the life of the people in Orange County. The show is mainly based on the character of Ryan Atwood; a hopeless delinquent from a broken home, who ends up with a …
Seinfeld: The Sponge
OK, sometimes the show Seinfeld takes a joke a bit too far to the point where it is still funny but also very unrealistic. The episode “The Sponge” is one of those.
The main plot is the episode focuses on the discontinuance of the Today Sponge, apparently Elaine’s favorite form …

Tales from the Darkside: A Case of the Stubborns
Tales from the Darkside was a horror anthology show that ran in the early 1980s to the 1990s. It was kind of corny and hokey, but it was still a lot of fun. Set up like the twilight zone, it had a different story every week. A case of …

OC - Tv series
I watched many tv series because I love spending my relax time with them. I love many of them and I hate some of them. OC is probably the one I dislike the most. The reason is that the story of this series is so predictable. …
Probe: Plan 10 from Outer Space
You can tell from the title that this episode is going to be either an homage or a take off on Plan 9 from Outer Space. It’s pretty wacky, but oddly interesting anyway.
In Probe: Plan 10 from Outer Space, Truman Smith (Michael Constantine) calls his friend Austin James …

The Craig Ferguson Show - 2/19/09
