Hammertime (Reality Show)
I was a little leery of watching MC Hammer’s new reality show. It seems that every rapper or washed up celebrity is trying to keep their career going by inviting cameras into their personal lives. I will admit that I enjoyed one or two of his …
Fruits Basket Anime Series, 2011
Fruits Basket, released in 2011, is an absolutely adorable anime. Most anime are not appropriate for children because of adult themes.

Wagon Train: The Melanie Craig Story
Wagon Train: The Melanie Craig Story was a hoot and one of the best non-Robert Fuller episodes of Wagon Train. Fuller actually missed several episodes due to an accident, so it’s a long stretch without seeing Cooper Smith. Still, this story had some fun in it.
Melanie …

Star Trek: Mirror, Mirror TV Show

Dexter Season 6 Episode 3
While Episode 3 of season 6 of Dexter was done with the same care and intensity as any previous episode of this amazing show, this one I did not like as much. Unlike the previous episodes I can see just what the writers are planning and I really …
Stargate SG-1 The Nox
“The Nox” is arguably the single, best episode of Stargate SG-1. This team episode captured the magic and essence of SG-1’s exploration of the universe. It showed the fallacy and limitations of our assumptions, while entertaining us at the same time.
The Nox are a simple, yet complex …
