House: Joy
I’m not so sure about the cases Dr. House has been getting on the show House lately; they just don’t seem to stand out any more. But, I have to say the episode “Joy” really got me thinking and left me a bit depressed.

Tales of the Gold Monkey: Trunk from the Past
Tales of the Gold Monkey: Trunk from the Past is an intriguing entry for this adventure series. It brings in Egyptian lore and archaeology, so that’s a plus for me. Though the overall tale is interesting, I’m really tiring fast of Sarah’s screeching. For a spy, …

MacGyver: Trumbo’s World
This episode opens up with a shirtless Richard Dean Anderson. Woman everywhere swooned. He immediately gets a hug from the woman he’s rescuing. That’s standard fare for this TV series.
The opening gambit was fun, with MacGyver and the woman geologist shooting the rapids, but it was …

Banana Split sitcom
What separates Banana Split from other sitcoms in the Philippines is the number of girls (and how fresh they are) in the casting. Actually, Banana Split boasts of an all-girls cast which would keep your eyes glued to the television.
Girls seem to be a staple in every sitcom. …
Making the Band (MTV show)
I have two criticisms of this show. The first is with the show’s creator, Sean Diddy Combs. The second is with the performers. The show itself is not much different in that the focus is to create a band to go out and …

What’s New Scooby Doo
I used to watch Scooby Doo a lot when I was a kid. And, recently, my daughter discovered it for herself.
The newer episodes, labeled “What’s New Scooby Doo” are definitely a nice continuation of the series. You have all the same major characters; however, they’ve been modernized and the …
Alex Haley Queen Mini Series
Alex Haley’s Queen was my first exposure to any of Alex Haley’s work. The mini-series appeared on television in the early 90s, and even though Halle Berry had been a working actress prior to landing the leading role in the mini-series, I think it was her first breakout role …

The 12th season of the reality series Big Brother continued with an eviction episode on September 8, 2010. At this point, there were four contenders remaining, Hayden, Lane, Enzo, and Britney, the last woman standing.

“Jenny’s Thesis” serves as the fourth season finale of “The Jeffersons” and it’s easily one of the television show’s strongest episodes yet, and perhaps one of the series’ most outstanding episodes. Just as “All in the Family” was usually at its best when it tackled a very real issue, …
