Psych is a comedy television series that comes from time to time on the American cable television channel USA. I think that it is funny sometimes because the main character, Shawn Spencer is very silly, and does a lot of deceiving people in order to accomplish his detective work. …

Bones: Harbingers in a Fountain

Burgess Meredith takes center stage as the timid and often laughed at Luther Dingle in The Twilight Zone: Mr. Dingle, the Strong. This puts forth the idea that Martians show up on Earth to conduct an experiment, and they pick Dingle, giving him enormous strength which allows the …
The Virginian: The Intruders TV show
The Virginian: The Intruders had some comedic tones to it early on, though those elements gave way eventually to some dramatic beats that were quite heavy in nature.
Some of the fun for me in watching The Intruders was seeing David Macklin as Eddie Tighe, an easterner who came to …
Celebrity Apprentice - 3/22/09
I’ve asked it before and I’ll ask it again. What the heck is Dennis Rodman doing on Celebrity Apprentice? If I didn’t know before that the man is a self-absorbed idiot, I do now. His confrontation with Clint Black was childish; except it was also dangerous. …
The Simpsons Season 3 Episode 20 Colonel Homer
The Simpsons go to the movie theater, and they watch separate movies. The kids watch something else, and Homer and Marge something else. Homer is very annoying throughout the movie, which finally makes Marge to yell at him in front of the entire audience. This hurts Homer a lot. …
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: Zsa Zsa Gabor TV Show
It’s a Woman of the Week for The Dean Martin Comedy Hour. That’s an unusual occurrence as there really weren’t that many women celebrated in these roasts that took place over the years. The lucky female was none other than Hungarian Zsa Zsa Gabor. Naturally, the …
Dead Like Me: The Bicycle Thief

Charter Communications
I have been wanting to do it for some time now but I’m finally taking the step and getting away from Charter for my television and internet needs.
The thing is, I’ve never been a fan of Charter to begin with. But, I’ve always been nervous about switching to direct …
America’s Next Top Model cycle 14, courtesy of Tyra Banks
America’s Next Top Model is one of those shows I’m pretty ashamed to admit I find myself watching, and I can’t explain why I continue to watch it, other than the fact that it’s mindless drama. Even though it’s supposed to be a reality show, watching it for …
Smallville
On one of the cable channels there is a series called Smallville. This is based on the Superman series. It takes place when Clark was young and was raised in Smallville.
You always know who Clark is because he is always wearing red whit and blue clothing. …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Choices
While I normally like Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes, the episode entitled “Choices” was a bit weak compared to other season 3 episodes.
This one had some drama. You have Buffy wanting to go on to college and leave Sunnydale but, at the same time, knows she really doesn’t have …
MacGyver: Early Retirement
MacGyver: Early Retirement has more of MacGyver on the ice, playing hockey with Pete in a neat little segment, especially when Pete stops three of his shots from scoring. Can we say Mac is a pouter? It was funny. The reason for the excursion for the …

Ghost Hunters: Haunted Asylum
Well, the Ghost Hunters episode I watched last night, Haunted Asylum, was an OK episode but definitely not one of the best ones I have seen.
They are asked to visit an asylum in West Virginia and walk around the place looking for spirits that are supposedly there.
First, Jason and …
Project Runway Season 1 Episode 2
There is something to be said for a person with a great sense of humor, and Jay Carroll proves he’s that person in this episode.
The episode opens up with Heidi on the runway along with the models. The designers get the opportunity to either keep their original model or …
Diagnosis Murder: The Restless Remains TV Show
I love it when Diagnosis Murder begins with a fun scene, like Mark Sloan rolling in on his skates, and then going right into rounds with the medical students. This is episode nine, The Restless Remains. Things get a bit crazy though when Mark has a visit …

Eerie India television show
When i was a young teenager I liked a television show called Eerie Indiana and I would watch it every week without fail. It must have been good because ten years later I can still remember a lot of the episodes, and was compelled to order it on a …
Family Guy - Halloween on Spooner Street
While Season 9 of Family Guy has been sorely lacking in the department of humor and entertainment, Halloween on Spooner Street was one of the season’s episodes where humor was alive and well in the Family Guy universe. The humor that Family Guy fans have come to know and …

Married with Children TV Episode: Married—¦.with Children
When I was younger, I used to watch the show Married with Children; mostly because it came on after the Simpsons. But, after a while, I did stop watching it. Recently, however, I have found it in re-runs on the weekend and have gotten hooked again.
I discovered yesterday that …
Sea Hunt: The Sea Has Ears TV Show
From September 1958, Sea Hunt: The Sea Has Ears begins with the death or rather, the murder of a diver checking a phone cable. This opening bit uses narration that is frequent in this show, where Mike Nelson, a deep sea diving expert, proclaims. “I didn’t know I’d …
Colbert Report
This is what a satirical news program should be. While the Daily Show is quickly losing its edge, the Colbert Report is on fire. A more direct parody of the O’Reilly Factor in particular and Fox News Channel in general (this is obvious the second the opening …

Ed Marinaro had the title guest starring role in 1987’s Private Eye: Nickey the Rose. He’s a mobster type of guy from circa 1956, living high and with a high profile lady on his arm. That would be Rita Marlowe, as played by Susan Blakely. She’s a …
Naruto Episode 2 Subbed
The second episode of Naruto is a far cry from the first, but it still seems to draw the viewer into the show. Taking a pure comedic, and slightly adult-oriented, standpoint on the show, this episode follows Naruto’s first day as a ninja where he uses the ‘Sexy Technique’, …
Kekkaishi Episode 2 (Anime)
Kekkaishi Episode 2 follows a typical day in the lives of Yoshimori and Tokine, Yoshimori sleeps during class while Tokine is smart and good at school work. It also shows Yoshimori’s passion, making castles out of cake.

Dancing with the Stars: S11, Week 2 Results TV Show
This was the results show for week 2 of Dancing with the Stars. Last week, it was David Hasselhoff who was sent packing. That wasn’t such a surprise in my book. Tonight, it may not be a surprise either, considering the judges scoring from the performance …
Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Episode 1.5: Rookies
The fifth episode in the ‘Clone Wars’ 3D animated series is called “Rookies” and it takes a huge down turn in terms of quality and entertainment - Well, I’ll admit, maybe I’m over-exaggerating on the entertainment part. But the main problem here is that none of the main characters …
Friends Episode: The One Where the Stripper Cries
I love Friends Episode: The One Where the Stripper Cries. It is a truly awesome episode and one that I will always remember. Monica and Rachel gets the service of this male stripper for Phoebe, something like a Hen Night and it went all wrong the minute the …
Catterick
Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer aren’t the most straight laced of comics, and they’re certainly not the kind of performers who’ll appeal to everybody. However, with their sitcom “Catterick”, the offbeat pair manage to deliver something surprisingly…well traditional wouldn’t be the right word to use, but they don’t do …
Remembering THE CONTENDER
Our whole family watched every episode of THE CONTENDER. Even the replays whenever we had the chance. I must say, we all experienced a very deep and wide scope of emotions watching the CONTENDER than we did watching any other reality show.
I guess one reason is because a vast …
Top Gear on BBC America
Would you rather win the lottery, or be given a job as host of Top Gear? For me, I’d take the job. I haven’t seen the American version of the show on the History channel yet, but the British version of Top Gear has to be the best thing …
