Home Improvement: To Build or Not to Build
I was watching the tail end of a Home Improvement episode today at lunch “To build or Not to build” and will say I was very impressed with it.
I wasn’t sure what the episode was about at first, but it turns out it was a Mother’s Day episode revolving …
Bored to Death Season 1 Episode 1
I have to say that the episode and the TV show itself really exceeded my expectations. The only reason why I watched it, was the name of the show- Bored to Death. It seemed so strange and unusual; I got really curious and just had to take a …
Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Wire
An overhanging wire in the backyard of the David household is spoiling the view, and driving Cheryl nuts. All it’ll take to get rid of it is a final signature from an adjacent neighbour; simple, if not for the fact this is Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Larry is on top …

Family Guy
In the past, I really wasn’t much of a Family Guy fan. I would watch the show and laugh at a few of the jokes but thought a lot of the stuff was a bit too crude for my tastes so I never was a huge fan.
I’m not sure …

The Virginian: It Tolls for Thee
The Virginian: It Tolls for Thee is from the first season of this western series which had the unique honor of being 90-minutes in length when airing. Overall, it’s not a series I’m that crazy about, but some episodes aren’t too bad.
In It Tolls for Thee, guest star …

Johnny Bravo
The show “Johnny Bravo” was one of my favorite shows on Cartoon Network in the late 90s and early 2000s. In fact, I liked it better than the shows “Cow and Chicken” and “Dexter’s Laboratory” which were also popular shows which aired around that time on Cartoon Network. I …
Stargate SG-1: Message in a Bottle
Stargate SG-1: Message in a Bottle is a good episode that isn’t a big favorite, but is still a very enjoyable show with some nice moments in it.

The Young And The Restless
The Young and The Restless has been in the 11 am time slot on CBS in my location as long as I can remember. While it’s a good show to those that like it, I find it rather dull, and increasingly confusing. The story lines aren’t something that make …
Life Unexpected Season 1 Episode 1
The life unexpected pilot was good, not great but good. I like the premise and the actors a lot but the pacing of the episode and the script was not great. It was slow and kind of boring. The scenes all dragged on a little longer …
Being human - TV series shown on BBC 3 in the UK
Have you watched Being Human because if you haven’t you really should catch the next series! It’s fabulous.

The Sing-Off: Night One
Recently, NBC hosted a four-part program hosted by Nick Lachey where different amateur acapella groups performed. These groups had to essentially sing and make their own music. In other words, it had to sound like there was a band, when there really wasn’t.
The show was a variation …
CSI Season 7
CSI Season Seven is one of the good seasons, but I didn’t get to see it until I bought the DVD set. Usually I don’t watch CSI because it’s on the same time as one of my favorite shows. I like CSI, but I like the other show better. …

In April 1971, the final episode of the third season of Adam-12, a half-hour crime drama, was aired. The show was entitled Log 125: A Safe Job. It’s a fairly decent show to end a year on. It’s not a big favorite, but it is an …
Home Improvement: Adios
Since there wasn’t anything really worth watching on TV yesterday afternoon, I ended up watching Home Improvement re-runs; including the one where Randy leaves the show to go to Costa Rica.
This was the first time I have seen this episode (though I have heard about it) and I have …
Spongebob Squarepants: Truth or Square
I have to admit, that episode of Spongebob Squarepants “Truth or Square” was pretty decent.
Basically, the Krusty Krab was celebrating an anniversary and Spongebob and friends end up trapped inside the freezer and ultimately the pipes of the restaurant trying to find a way to escape. Along the way, …

Healthy Appetite, In the Comfort Zone

Family Guy: Prick up your ears
Sometimes, the series Family Guy can be a bit over the top. A lot of times, that can take away from the show. Other times, like in the episode “Prick up Your Ears,” it can be a good thing because it was a great way to bring people’s attention …
John Doe: Doe Re: Me TV show
At the opening of John Doe: Doe Re: Me, the amnesiac John Doe actually tries psycho therapy to find out something about his past. I liked this segment and especially how it ended, which I won’t spoil. I thought it was a marvelous sign of the time …
Dancing with the Stars - Results 5/5/09
The results shows for Dancing with the Stars always have a lot of stuff in it that is unrelated to the actual competition itself. This show had a performance by Jamie Collum that was somewhat entertaining. There was also a really neat dance routine, but I didn’t …

MacGyver: Kill Zone
Quite honestly, I hate MacGyver: Kill Zone and I hate it for a simple reason. I’m an animal lover, and I do *not* like what happens here. I don’t like what I have to look at in the opening scene that is the set up for the …
Lingo (Game Show)
One of the shows I like to watch once in awhile on the Game Show Network is Lingo. Two teams of two people compete against each other. They try to guess 5-letter words, and the first letter of that word is given. If one team doesn’t …

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 …
House, M.D.
I watch a lot of television, probably more than I should. But it is rare that I find a prime time program that piques my interest enough to stick with it. I had pretty much given up on trying to find a good show to watch and had resigned …
Battlestar Galactica TV show
Battlestar Galactica TV show was the best tv show I have ever watched. I was playing the game battlestar galactica online, not knowing that there is a TV show ( funny haha I know ). But when my in-game friends told me to watch it immediately, I was like …
Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: Sacred Trust
Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: Sacred Trust is episode 4 of the first season. I loved this continuation series, a show that moved the 70’s hit Kung Fu forward a few generations. David Carradine and Chris Potter starred. Since this was so early on, they were …
CSI: New York: The 34th Floor TV Show
I really want to be a fan of CSI: New York, and in fact I did watch it regularly in the beginning, but somehow, I just didn’t get into the habit of watching every week. So, I’ve seen sporadic episodes only. One thing that I know is …
Moonlight the TV show
I love the show Moonlight because the main vampire character has such a cool look to him and the whole show rocks. I love how the show centers around a person who is a vampire who helps the law and catches bad guys. This show also has good fight …
TV Series Modern Family “Caught in the Act”
You have to love a show that has kids walking in on their parents having sex in the morning in their first scene. I hadn’t seen a kids walking in episode on tv in awhile, it is not the first show to have done it but the material …
The Vampire Diaries Season 2 Episode 9: “Katerina”
After The Vampire Diaries episode 8 entitled “Rose” I was more than thrilled to see episode nine entitled “Katerina”. If the name doesn’t give it away to what this episode might be about, then I’ll just tell you—¦Katherine Peirce (also known by her previous and original name before becoming …
Highway Patrol: Stripped Cars TV Show
From Highway Patrol’s second season in 1957, Stripped Cars gave viewers a bit of something new, and that came by the unique crime scenario.

Law and Order: SVU
OK, two questions. First of all, I thought Law & Order SVU was supposed to be about sex crimes and, secondly, is this the month we feature each of Stabler’s kids?
The episode “Lunacy” was actually one of the worst episodes of this series I’ve seen. OK, you have a …
Friends Episode: The Apartment on Fire and Phoebe
Friends Episode: The Apartment on Fire and Phoebe is really hilarious. This time, it is all about Phoebe and how she denies so hard that she has a part to do with the apartment being on fire. The interrogation by the Fire Department Officer makes Phoebe really frustrated …
