Cover Her Face - Part 3
Cover Her Face, Part 3, moves this P.D. James murder mystery along significantly. One of the things I like about this particular outing, though, is that the storyline is much easier to follow than those in later outings. I felt that way about The Black Tower, too. …

Dancing With the Stars: S11, Wk 5 Results TV Show
Dancing With the Stars for the 11th season has been pretty good. This review is for the Week 5 Results show. One thing that I like this year is that they are changing things up, starting with instant results sometimes and sometimes opening with a guest or …
Swift Justice with Nancy Grace TV Series
Swift Justice with Nancy Grace: what a ridiculous excuse for Nancy Grace to get more air time. That’s the word that keeps coming to mind — ridiculous.
With her crumpled nose, Grace wears the same outfit, a black and white combination pant suit, as she bulldogs her way around …

Waterloo Road BBC One programme
I just love this programme and I am eagerly awaiting to hear whether it is back on again this Autumn. Normally the new series starts about this time, and I have watched every series since the beginning.
Not only do I really enjoy this programme so does my son. …
One Tree Hill
I have been watching One Tree Hill since it first started in 2003. I had just had my first child and was 20 years old. I started watching because I liked the storyline of all the different highschool situations. I could find a character that reminded me of each …
The Philanthropist
I had really high hopes for The Philanthropist when I first saw the commercials. It looked like an exciting action/adventure show with a real human element, and important moral message. The pilot lived up to those expectations. Telling the story of a billionaire who suddenly snaps …

Mr. Monk and the Dog
Here are a few thoughts from Friday night’s Monk episode; Mr. Monk and the Dog:
One of the themes in this final season of Monk seems to be Monk’s willingness to try to get over his phobias. Earlier, he conquered his claustrophobia and, in this episode, he took in a …
The Twilight Zone: The Invaders TV Show
I’m not big on silent movies, and that’s probably why I’m not a fan of The Twilight Zone: The Invaders and never have been. The only dialog in the entire episode is the spoken narration at the beginning and the end by host, Rod Serling, plus a …
Star Trek: What Are Little Girls Made Of? TV Show
Gene Roddenberry’s love, Majel Barrett, was originally supposed to play Number One, the second in command of the Enterprise. That’s how it was in the original pilot. When that didn’t go over with network executives, she became a blonde and was reduced to a love-starved nurse named …

The Twilight Zone: Death Ship TV Show
I like watching The Twilight Zone: Death Ship, though it’s not a favorite. Still, with Jack Klugman and Ross Martin in the leads, it’s good stuff. It’s also another intriguing plot surrounding death that is thought provoking, though not in terms of relaying a message, but rather, …
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 …
Family Guy:PTV
I hadn’t seen the Family Guy episode PTV in a while so I was thrilled to come across it on television today.
This is a fantastic episode because it makes a mockery on how the FCC will sometimes overreact to people overreacting to something they might be offended to, rather …

The hills show

CSI Season 3 Episode 6- The Execution of Catherine Willows
The beginning of the episode was, for no better choice of words, plain cool. It was so unexpected that it grabbed my attention right from the beginning. They did a really good job with this one. It was potentially a really tricky subject, but they handled it quite well, …
Gotham (2014) - TV Show
I love anything to do with the Batman universe. When I heard that a new tv show, Gotham, was in the works I was really excited, especially because it was to show the origins of many of the exciting characters in the Batman universe. In fact, the main character of …
Jennifer Hudson: Christmas
Jennifer Hudson: Christmas was this American Idol alum’s first TV special. I liked it, somewhat, but was also disappointed. Hudson has one dynamo voice. It’s full of power, but I felt like she tried to jazz everything up too much, or to put that whole black …

M*A*S*H: Movie Tonight
From the fifth season, M*A*S*H: Movie Tonight is a really enjoyable outing for this comedy television series. It’s fun and lively, and I’ve always enjoyed it. Most of the episode centers around a long-awaited movie night. The picture is one that Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) …
The Lazarus Man: Among the Dead
Among the Dead is episode 11 of The Lazarus Man, a western drama of sorts that aired in 1996 and starred Robert Urich in the title role. The show can be a bit confusing from time to time because of the intercutting of flashbacks or visions. There …
On Demand Television
I opted to purchase On Demand Television in my home. As a result, I have wound up getting four hundred some odd television channels that I thought I would never utilize. I suppose I underestimated the the addictive nature of being spoiled enough to have such a …
A-Team TV Episode: Mission of Peace
I ended up stumbling across the A-Team episode Mission of Peace early Sunday morning. And, because I had missed the first few minutes of it, I found myself watching mainly in an effort to figure out what the heck was going on.
Overall though, it was a pretty decent episode.
Basically, the …

American Idol
Oh no, I see ads for American Idol on TV again. Well, I guess it’s time to start renting more than one movie at a time from Netflix again.
Up until season 4 of the show, I was a regular viewer. But, after Carrie Underwood beat Bo Bice for the …
The Next Iron Chef: Ingenuity TV Show
The season 3 premier of The Next Iron Chef was called Ingenuity because it focused on creativity in the kitchen. Both the small challenge at the beginning, called the Secret Ingredient Challenge, and the lengthier Elimination Challenge that takes up the bulk of the episode dealt with the …
Out of This World: Evie’s Thirteenth Birthday TV Show
Evie’s Thirteenth Birthday is the very first episode of 1987’s Out of This World, a half-hour weekly show that I just loved. It’s science fiction mixed with comedy, and it has a super cast.
It’s Evie Garland’s 13th birthday, and she gets an unexpected surprise. As it turns …
Hawaii Five-O - The First Season DVD set
The first season of Hawaii Five-O is offered in slim pack cases, with two disks in each jacket, except for the last one. That’s a total of seven disks. Now I have some concerns about these slim packs because there are some that can actually damage DVDs …
Doctor Who: Season 5, Episode 13: The Big Bang
Thus, the fifth season of Doctor Who reaches it’s end. This episode stands in a pretty stark contrast to the other finales. Where Davies kept wanting to escalate and make things more epic, this one is a bit more low key. I mean, sure, the universe …
20 on 20
On directtv there are music channels that are xm. Well this channel is called 20 on 20. Overall it’s pretty good. I like some of the other music channels a lot better but they are pretty good. Some times I go to it and they don’t have anything good …

Asia Bagus
A few years back, there was this particular singing talent show, quite like American Idol and it’s on my local TV channel called Asia Bagus. Well, during those times, it was super fun to watch shows like this, and it was quite hard to get a singing talent show …
So You Think You Can Dance: Finale Part 1 TV Show
It was a great finale night for So You Think You Can Dance. This was the last performance show of the season for the final three dancers: Kent, Lauren, and Robert. All three are so solid, and I have to agree with producer and judge, Nigel Lythgoe, …
The Boondocks
After watching two seasons of the hit cartoon series, The Boondocks, I cannot help but hope that the creators will make a third season.
This is a great cartoon series for me as the issues which are dealt with and alluded to are a reflection of reality in the United …
