Big Brother - August 1, 2010 TV Show
Big Brother sometimes drives me batty. I’m nowhere near as hooked as I was during its first season. In fact, I’m not hooked at all anymore. I can barely even remember the contestants’ names. Were there anything else opposite it, I wouldn’t watch, and when …

The Simpsons: Apocalypse Cow
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.

Rome - HBO Series
I mentioned before that it feels like I’m out of good TV Shows to watch. Maybe it’s because it’s summer or because all the series I like came to their closing episode (see Lost). This means I’ve been looking for other stuff to watch and what I’m doing is …
Tough Love Season 2
I watched the first season of Tough Love, and was a big impressed with the format. Tuning into the second season, Tough Love 2 has been just as entertaining. I was surprised, but maybe not so much that they brought back Taylor from the first season …

Adam-12: Log 11
This episode gives us our first briefing for our Adam-12 boys, Pete Malloy and Jim Reed. Oddly, they aren’t sitting together, but it’s not really important. After the briefing, we get the set up for the show, and it’s a funny one.
Rookie Reed is asked to fill …
Twilight Zone Ssn 1: Ep. Walking Distance
The Twilight Zone is a classic television series that has seen many incarnations, but the old ones are the best. The show featured a collection of tales that concerned the supernatural. Often there was a twist ending and a lesson to be learned from each of them. This …
The Simpsons: Natural Born Kisser
I saw one of my favorite episodes of the Simpsons yesterday, “Natural Born Kisser.” I love this episode because it really puts what a lot of married couples (my wife and I included) do to keep the spark in their marriage into a whole new perspective.
Marge and Homer find …

Band of Brothers Episode 8 The Last Patrol has Easy Company in Haguenau and David Webster rejoins Easy Company and is shut out by his friends because he wasn’t there in Bastogne.

That 70s Show: Battle of the Sexists
Should girls be able to beat boys at sports? That was the central theme of the That 70s Show episode “Battle of the Sexists,” and I have to admit, it really made an interesting point about the way we view opposite genders.
The episode is based on the fact Donna can …

First in acted in this hit show, then he directed an episode, and now Mike Farrell adds writing to his belt with M*A*S*H: The Yalu Brick Road. Airing a third of the way through the eighth season, the show has a lot of comical elements to it.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Replacement
Every once in a while, I’ll come across a Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode that uses a concept that has been done maybe a dozen times in various other shows and cartoons. The Replacement is one of those episodes.
Once again, the series decides to focus on one of the …
Deli-Creations Focaccia Sandwich - Parmesan Basil Turkey
Oscar Mayer has again expanded its Deli-Creations line. What began with one sandwich line and then broadened to include flatbread sandwiches, now also includes Focaccia sandwiches. I’ve purchased a couple to try, beginning with Deli-Creations Focaccia Sandwich - Parmesan Basil Turkey.
As with the entire Deli-Creations line, the …
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Promised Land TV show
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Promised Land is the first episode of this series that aired in 1983. It’s funny what stands out to a person, but one of the things I am amused by as I rewatch this program is how star Richard Dean Anderson (he plays …

Royal Pains
I honestly believed that the absolute last thing this world needed was another doctor show. I have honestly always found doctor shows boring due to the fact that they are entirely set within hospitals which just do not provide an aesthetically pleasing view of scenery. I can’t stand watching …
Beauty and the Geek Season 5 Episode 5
This episode of Beauty and the Geek was quite interesting. It definitely caught my attention.
It starts off with Leticia and Matt coming back up to the room where the others were waiting to find out who won the last elimination round. Everyone seemed pretty angry about it, as they …
American Idol - Performance 5/12/09

This episode, which is from the second season of the long running series, feature Homer deciding he no longer wants to be bald and …
Gargoyles Episode 2.5 The Mirror
Keith David has an awesome voice, there is no disputing this. Even so, I prefer the theme song before they added his voiceover speech. It’s not bad, but I think it worked fine as a solely instrumental piece.
This episode brings in Puck, who’s summoned by Demona to …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Jonah and the Whale
The first episode of the second season of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea was a show entitled Jonah and the Whale, and it brings with it some big changes as well as some subtle alterations. First, the show began airing in color. What a difference …
M*A*S*H: None Like It Hot
M*A*S*H: None Like It Hot deals with the latest heat wave to hit the 4077th as the Korean War rages on. It seems odd that this show precedes one that talks about a wind storm. Korea must have a lot of quick changing weather.
The thrust of None …
All in the Family The Complete First Season
This is the season where it all began for the unforgettable and groundbreaking sitcom that forever changed the television landscape.

Criminal Minds S3 E6
Criminal Minds Season3 Epiode6- About Face
Yet another chilling episode. This one actually made me feel extra uncomfortable, because the criminal in this case was much similar to many people I actually know in the real life, even reminds me of an ex boyfriend. I don’t mean in terms of …
Street Hawk: Chinatown Memories
The Street Hawk crime fighting series continues with episode 7, Chinatown Memories. My problem is that I’ve never liked TV shows that center around the Chinese version of the mob. I don’t like shows about any mob, to be honest. They are cliche and boring to …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Kid TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel’s fifth season brought forth an entertaining outing that was called simply, The Kid. The setup is also simple enough. Paladin (Richard Boone) travels 1100 miles to meet with a man who wants to hire him for protection. The problem is that …

Digital Max, Cox Cable Character
I guess this is my day to vent about television commercials I find detestable.
Chief among the television ads that make me personally queasy are the series of commercials featuring Digital Max, the digital character with the blue sweater and obnoxious wisecracks. This character is supposed to influence live …
The Suite Life of Zach and Cody
Ok so I’m lame; when nothing’s on I turn it to the Disney Channel for background noise. I actually like The Suite Life of Zach and Cody. I think all of the actors on the show actually have talent; they carry the show pretty well. The kids that play …
Recess
Recess was a pretty good Disney cartoon that was really funny. The thing I really liked about this show, is that the characters were people instead of animals, which Disney is known for. I think that this show is very good and really used to like the plot. The …
House: Last Resort
Well, we finally had a House episode with plenty of drama that didn’t involve a possible relationship between House and Cuddy; about time.

The Twilight Zone television series
Every new years eve, there is a “Twilight Zone” series marathon on the SciFi channel. This was how I managed to watch many of the episodes of the “Twilight Zone” as before I began to watch the SciFi channel I had neither seen nor heard of it.
