Kenja no Ai (aka A Saga Love, 4-episode Japanese TV Series)

American Idol
Oh no, I see ads for American Idol on TV again. Well, I guess it’s time to start renting more than one movie at a time from Netflix again.

The Bold and the Beautiful
The Bold and the Beautiful has been around forever and to be honest it’s a show I have been watching since I was a kid. In school holiday’s there wasn’t a lot of daytime tv on so I tuned in.
I have to say that while I liked the …
The Fall Guy: The Rich Get Richer TV Show
I mentioned in my last review for The Fall Guy that one of the things that is ironic about this show is that it focuses on a stunt man and as a result we see some incredible stunts. At the same time, it’s not really fictional stunt man …
Little People, Big World (tv)
One show that I have found rather interesting is broadcasted on the Discovery Channel, and is called Little People, Big World. Maybe it is the social worker in me, but I really do enjoy watching the show. It takes a family in which the parents are both …
The Mentalist - TV show
The first few times I saw this show, I didn’t really grasp the concept and couldn’t figure out why a police investigative team would have some random guy (who used to be a con artist) on their team. It just seemed like a stretch. Of course, I have been …
CSI Season 5 Episode 18 Spark of Life
It was a very nice episode, although I feel it could have been better. There were some interesting twists of events, but for the most part of it I was a bit bored. It is not that the events of the episode did not matter, it was because there …
TV show The Office
The Office is my favorite show on network television. The entire case is great! At first, I thought that Steve Carell just dominated the series with his portrayal of the bumbling office manager Michael Scott. Carell’s sense of comic timing is superb. Most all the …
Fireball XL5: Convict in Space
Fireball XL5: Convict in Space takes us back to the Space Pen that we met previously. I get a kick out of this version of prison. It’s such a huge exaggeration of what mobsters in jail would be like. There’s no reality here, but there are some …
Simpsons TV Episode: Weekend at Burnsie’s
Well, the Simpsons repeat that was on last night wasn’t terrible but it also wasn’t what I was expecting it to be.

The Virginian: The Exiles
The problem with The Virginian, as I’ve said before, is that it bores me more often than not. I couldn’t watch it as a kid because none of the characters captured my heart or imagination. This episode, The Exiles, exemplifies those feelings. It’s a show towards …
QVC (television)
Few television shows piss me off as much as QVC. I find it to be a completely idiotic way of marketing a product and more likely than not, I would go out of my way not to purchase a product advertised on their broadcasts. First of all, …
Heroes TV Series

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Bird of Time TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Bird of Time, an episode which aired early in the western’s sixth season on the air, went right into the action, avoiding one of the traditional San Francisco openings. I always lament the lack of the fancy Paladin beginnings. They add …

Friends Episode featuring Winona Ryder

Fringe Season 4 Episode 2 TV show
