The Twilight Zone: The Prime Mover is one of those episodes that I have a like/dislike relationship with. I dislike a part of it, or perhaps I should say the early indication of where the show is headed, but then I like quite a lot how the ultimate …

From the opening shot, you can tell what the plot of this episode is going to center on. A sick, bed ridden boy and two parents wearing what look like ceremonial robes. You don’t even need the episode title to tell you that the boy is going …

Looking for a hilarious adult humor cartoon with political undertones? Try the boondocks season 1 on dvd. This cartoon is featured on adult swim on MTV, and is a little raunchy, rude and crude. It is definitely not for the easily offended.

This was the first and possibly the most gothic out of all of the episodes. Never have I seen such a unique twist of ironic comedy and such bitter truth. Fantasy blends with truth. Truth collides with religion. This is certainly an unusual show. Ichigo, the hero of …

DSTV is South Africa’s only satellite television broadcaster, an off-shoot of the popular MNET pay channel that launched during the 1980’s. There are hundreds of channels on offer, both local and international, and as such, it is inevitable that family members would be fighting for the remote control.
DSTV …

Friday nights are my personal nights with Dr. G, Medical Examiner on A & E. The show comes on at nine o’clock, EST, and I have found the show to be the best television show being broadcasted on Friday evenings. Years ago, abc had T.G.I.F. being aired …

I used to like watching The Tyra Banks Show, but it seems to be getting progressively unoriginal. There are a lot of things you can talk about on a talk show, but Tyra is starting to bore me, because lately her topics have been on dating, relationship problems, …

I think Dawson’s Creek is probably one of the worst shows I have seen in my life. This shows pisses me off. I can’t believe I ever saw this show before. The show is about a bunch of young people who live by a creek. And you guessed it one …

The Medium episode for February 5, 2010 was really entertaining, and I liked it more than many other episodes for a few reasons. Entitled “Will the Real Fred Rovick Please Stand Up?” this gave us two distinct stories and both really held my interest well.
The main story with …

From the Earth to the Moon - Part 6: Mare Tranquilitatis focuses on Apollo 11, the famous moon landing mission with Astronauts Neil Armstrong (Tony Goldwyn), Buzz Aldrin (Bryan Cranston), and Michael Collins (Cary Elwes). It’s also my least favorite episode for some reason. Maybe it’s because …

So far, Diagnosis Murder has done one two-part story each season and this third year is no exception. Diagnosis Murder: Murder on the Run: Part 1 aired in January 1996 with the conclusion airing one week later.

Series Name: Futurama
Episode Title: Episode 7: My Three Suns
My personal rating: 8/10

Flipping through the channels yesterday, I landed on a show that surprised me. It had a couple of recognizable faces on it, though they were older. With time, I realized I was watching Confessions of a Teen Idol - Episode 4.
I wasn’t really sure what Confessions of …

There aren’t many shows that do a Friday the 13th episode. But, watching Psych last Friday and seeing them do a spoof of the movie was kind of cool.

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.

What separates Banana Split from other sitcoms in the Philippines is the number of girls (and how fresh they are) in the casting. Actually, Banana Split boasts of an all-girls cast which would keep your eyes glued to the television.
Girls seem to be a staple in every sitcom. …

The Rachel Zoe Project: Changes in the Zoe Camp was the season 3 premier for this cable reality show that follows the activities of stylist Rachel Zoe. For me, Zoe is too self-involved. She gets orgasmic over fur, Chenille, and almost any fashion designer who will let …

One of my favourite comedy sitcoms to watch back in the nineteen nineties when I was still a child was one called “The Nanny”, because I thought that it was both funny and interesting to watch. I remember at the time that there were still one or two jokes …

Here is yet another reality show that I happen to watch when I have the time and/or opportunity. Dancing With the Stars is so corny. Yet you get drawn in when you realize that the most uncoordinated celebrities try out for the thing and are paired …

Nevada vs. Rodgers was the latest hour of the new decent drama and disappointing comedy show, The Defenders. The good part for me is that they more or less left the comedy behind this week, and that was delightful. I’ve said from the beginning that this version …

I suppose you could say that The Twilight Zone: The Mind and the Matter is a show about the human condition. It begins with Archibald Beechcroft (Shelley Berman) being annoyed with the world. He’s just a cantankerous man who is tired of noise and people, who he …
