Hogan’s Heroes: Crittendon’s Commandos
I was able to watch two episodes of Hogan’s Heroes at lunch today, including one that was kind of funny; Crittendon’s Commandos.

Survivor S20 Episode 3
This was a cool episode as we to to see James lose it. The Heroes are on a road to self destruction if you ask me, there seems to be no unity on their team and people are back-biting and sorting out alliances far too early in the …

The Flintstones: The Flintstone Flyer

Touching Evil: Attachment
Touching Evil: Attachment opens very dramatically with David Creegan remembering the farewell with his kids that happened towards the end of the last episode. I really hate the direction the show opted to go in. That said, it made for a bang of an opening.
Then we transition …
Law & Order Criminal Intent: Enemy Within

Doctor Who: Season 2, Episode 12: Fear Her
I didn’t have high hopes for this episode. From what I’ve read, I got the impression that this was supposed to be one of the stinkers of the series. Honestly, it’s not that bad. It’s not great, to be sure, but it has a lot of …

Hellcats: A World Full of Strangers TV Show

Stargate SG-1: Evolution Part 2
Stargate SG-1: Evolution Part 2 didn’t give Jack and Daniel fans what they wanted at the beginning. In reality, it gave us a nauseating soap opera scene that was completely out of character for Jack O’Neill. In the history of the show, when someone has needed help, …

Devious Maids (tv series)
I discovered a lot of television series last year, but one of them that remains my favourite is “Devious Maids”. This is despite its very close resemblance to one of those daytime soap operas.
I would watch “Devious Maids” every Sunday night when it would air on Lifetime, and I …

The X-Files: Scary Monsters
A young boy whose drawings come to life with grisly consequence provides the premise for this episode; a relatively straight forward stand alone that neither excites impresses.
For a start, the storyline once again feels like something out of a more fantastical show than an X-Files episode, showing that …

That Girl: The Homewrecker and the Window Washer
From season three of That Girl, we get The Homewrecker and the Window Washer. It’s the first episode that aired in 1969, and it was okay. It’s not a huge favorite of mine personally. However, the color of the show comes from Jules Munshin, who is …
The Best of Tonight Show: Stand-Up Comedians (a DVD collection)

I use Metrocast cable TV and in my opinion the service is great and I have really enjoyed it. I use the basic package but there are a lot of good channels included with the basic package. I chose the basic package because it was very cheap …
