Something new from Ricky Gervais. I recall the first time I saw him on the 11 o’clock show on Channel 4 and I thought he was one of the worst t.v comedians that I had seen. The office brought him back for me though and everything else since, especially …

I’ve seen those shows a zillion times, and I have clear cut favorites of ones I enjoy watching and ones that are viewed with reluctance. Star Trek: Charlie X is one of the latter episodes. Nothing against guest star Robert Walker, Jr., but he just annoyed me …

Yet another Simpsons episode I haven’t seen before; where have I been. If I had known about the episode “Apocalypse Cow” I wouldn’t have been so quick to write off the later seasons of the show.
This one was actually quite interesting. You have a bored Bart joining the 4-H …

The season finale of Ice Road Truckers was called New King of the Dalton, which gives away part of the story from the beginning. Obviously, the laid back veteran Jack Jessee wasn’t going to be the king of the road again with this episode moniker.
A good part of …

As the World Turns from September 17, 2010 was the last of the series as this decades-old soap left the airwaves for ever. The hour long program was more of a Don Hastings reflection show, a compilation of vignettes in fact, that wrap it all up forever. …

Are producers really serious about this show? First of all, when I found out that Denise Richards was getting her own reality show, I thought it was a joke. I didn’t think that someone with limited acting ability really warranted her own show. But then …

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 …

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 …

I love this episode, MacGyver: Gold Rush, because it features one of my favorite performers, Lee Patterson. Lee was one of the stars of Surfside Six in the sixties, but where I really grew to love his work was on the daytime drama, One Life to Live, …

“The OCU Or The PADO” is the episode of Two And A Half Men originally airing on CBS on March 9, 2009. This was another mediocre episode that marks the downhill slide of this once consistently funny program.

Well, I still don’t like the new ADA on Law & Order SVU, but at least the episodes are getting somewhat interesting; even though they always seem to have some sort of a downer for an ending.
Last night’s episode, Solitary, involved a former prison inmate who is accused of …

I’ve heard about Dora the Explorer for quite a while, and I’ve seen the character’s image here and there, but I’ve never actually seen an episode of the animated show; that is, until I flicked on Dora’s Christmas Carol over the holidays. I just really wanted to watch …
