House: Joy
I’m not so sure about the cases Dr. House has been getting on the show House lately; they just don’t seem to stand out any more. But, I have to say the episode “Joy” really got me thinking and left me a bit depressed.
We found out last week that …

Laramie: Midnight Rebellion TV Show
Laramie: Midnight Rebellion features Robert Fuller as Jess Harper, and it’s a pretty dramatic hour for this superbly done television western. The ending has a lot of action and poignancy to it, and it does get intense at times.
However, let’s start with the opening scene from this show …

Battlestar Galactica: Saga of a Star World
When I was growing up, my family never missed an episode of the television series Battlestar Galactica (the original series not the remake). But, because I would have been about three when it first aired, I had no memory of the first episode “Saga of a Star World” so …

Virgin Media Digital V-Box (and Remote Control)

Everest - Beyond the limit season 3

Merlin’s Apprentice (Hallmark Entertainment) 2006
Merlin’s Apprentice is not a sequel to the original 1998 Hallmark production,Merlin,which also starred Sam Neil in the title role and Miranda Richardson in the supporting cast. The 1998 Merlin is one of the few film interpretations of the Authurian legend that I like,and I also have always …
The Beast Wars - Part Two

Top Chef: Covert Cuisine TV Show
Top Chef: Covert Cuisine was unique in that for the elimination challenge, the dinner was actually held at the Central Intelligence Agency headquarters in Langley, Virginia. It’s not often a TV show is going to get inside the C.I.A. for something like this, so that was pretty intriguing.
The …

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 …
Big Brother 11
Big Brother 11 is the newest season for the Big Brother show. It aires every Teusday, Thursday and Sunday during the summer of 2009. I have been watching this show for years and this season is no exception.

The Big Bang Theory show
A modern day Snow White and the 7 Dwarves, if Snow White was a blond who didn’t go to sleep and the Dwarves were reduced to 4 nerds, The Big Bang Theory is a show that is picking up a very strong fan base, based on the old theory …
The Simpsons: Oh Brother, Where Bart Thou?
We ended up catching the new Simpson’s episode last night “Oh Brother, Where Bart Thou? Because we thought it would end up being a Christmas episode based on the commercials.
It wasn’t. And, it wasn’t a very good episode either.
Basically, there is a power outage and Bart (who doesn’t know …

Doctor Who: Season 2, Episode 8: The Idiot’s Lantern
This is probably the most lackluster Doctor Who episode to date. It had promise, but so much of it fell flat for me that it just wasn’t as enjoyable as the other episodes. The plot is similar to “Batman Forever”, but instead of the Riddler, it’s a …
Whoopi: What Child Is This? TV Show
Whoopi: What Child Is This? is a combination of political and family humor. It’s better than some other recent shows and part of that might be that it is a political show and that actor Scott Bryce guest stars as a Republican hot shot who works with the …
Anuna: Christmas Memories
Frankly, I’ve never heard of Anuna in my life, but as I was doing some TV surfing, I ran across this show called Anuna: Christmas Memories. Apparently, it was made in 2008 and Anuna is an Irish group. It sounds like they are headed up by a …
Star Trek: The Apple TV Show
Gene Roddenberry tackles Eden yet again in Star Trek: The Apple. The series creator seems to love to show that books shouldn’t be judged by their covers and that living easy isn’t necessarily living. Man never quite finds paradise in Star Trek.
Another red shirt goes down before …
Cowboy Bebop Episode 17 (Anime)
Cowboy Bebop Episode 17 involves the crew of the Bebop looking for food, and unfortunately Ed finds bad mushrooms for them to eat.

Launch My Line fashion design show
I love sewing and I love fashion design, so to have a negative review about “Launch My Line” weighs heavy on me. “Launch My Line” is a new fashion design show that premiered December 2, 2009, on Bravo. Bravo has several successful reality shows, and one most notable was …

Ghost Hunters: Glimmer Men
You know, I used to love the show Ghost Hunters. Now I watch it but I honestly am not as big of a fan as I used to be. I think this is because the episodes aren’t as exciting as they used to be.
Last night’s episode, Glimmer Men, had …
Match Game show
Have been watching an older game show on the game show network. It surprised me how entertaining it is. It has the host and six television stars on a panel. The host reads the questions, they are in comedic form with a blank the stars have to …
