Dance Your Azz Off (Oxygen)
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 …
American Gladiators
When I was younger, one of the shows I used to watch on television was American Gladiators. And, for some time, I�ve been thinking some network should make an effort to bring the show back.
So, I was pleasantly surprised to learn NBC was doing just that.
After watching the first …
Gilligan’s Island - Will the Real Mr. Howel Please Stand Up TV Show

Jamie Oliver TV programme
I think Jamie Oliver is a breath of fresh air. He throws the rule book out the window when it comes to cooking and he is pretty cute too.

Glee TV show
I have been resisting Glee since its earliest appearance on the radar. As the obsession grew and people began naming themselves “Gleeks” and making the show their facebook status, the idea of the show became more and more repugnant to me. Why would intelligent adults waste their time on …
Home Improvement: Young at Heart
It’s good working half days for a week because I get to see some shows I might not get a chance to see when I’m working all day (too bad that starts next week). One of the shows, Home Improvement, is one I’ve missed a bit.
The episode that showed …
MacGyver: Rock the Cradle

Fame: Reunions
Fame: Reunions begins with a really fun dance class segment where the group is dancing to an African beat and then the comic, Danny Amatullo (Carlo Imperato) slips and practically knocks down the entire class. I liked this opening bit quite a lot.

If designing for the judges each week isn’t tough enough, Project Runway’s episode, What a Girls Wants, really sets the designers up for a reality check.

Falling Skies Season 4, TV Show
There are not very many TV shows that I stick with all the way through to their fourth season, but Falling Skies has been one of them. I’m not entirely sure that it is a good show but there has been enough to keep me loyal and hopeful - …
Star Trek: I, Mudd TV Show

Ghost Hunters: The Fear Cage
Well, that was a halfway decent Ghost Hunters episode. I started out watching “The Fear Cage” expecting not to see to much. But, it turned out to be pretty interesting.

That 70s Show: Backstage Pass
I got home in time last night to watch some re-runs of That 70s Show, including one I haven’t seen before; Backstage Pass.

My youngest daughter was up extremely early this morning (probably thinking today was Christmas morning or something). So, we ended up watching early morning television. Not wanting an infomerical, I put on Happy Days and watched the episode entitled Howdy Doody.

Running Wilde: Pilot TV Show
