The Defenders: Pilot TV Show
The first phrase that comes to my mind when I think about the pilot episode for The Defenders is ’smart move. When word first came out about this show, the word was that it was going to be a re-do of the popular lawyer series from the 60’s …

Hot in Cleveland: A TV Comedy Series
Betty White is my all-time favorite comedy actress. She was my favorite in The Golden Years. She brings this excellent comedic timing in Hot in Cleveland.
The storyline is simple enough —“ three women from Los Angeles whose careers in the entertainment industry are in their twilight years are marooned …
The Apprentice U.K.: S6, Ep 1 TV Show
The Apprentice U.K. has begun what is apparently its sixth season. I’ve only seen a couple, but I enjoy it, sometimes even better than the United States version. The show began with 16 candidates, all vying to work for Lord Alan Sugar, who they meet for the …
The Next Food Network Star: Finale August 15, 2010 TV Show
Watching The Next Food Network Star finale tonight was interesting, and I should have known better than to have fallen for their slick editing job. I’ll explain what I mean about that shortly.
The three finalists were Herb, Aartie, and Tom. I like all three, but my clear …
Family Guy: The Story on Page 1
We were watching a Family Guy re-run last night, The Story on Page 1 and I have to say it, it is easily the funniest episode I have seen both of this series and quite a few others I can think of.
To be honest, I’m not even really sure …
Dexter tv programme
Dexter is certainly not the sort of show I would think of ordinarily watching. As someone who isn’t keen on blood or gore at the best of times the last thing I would think of watching is something as macabre as this.
So what is it all about? Well, the …
Vampire High Season 1 Episode 12

The show opens with Merrill being strapped to a chair screaming and pleading out, as she watches herself standing over her as she dies. Merrill can’t see the person …
Star Trek: Errand of Mercy TV Show
In some ways, Star Trek: Errand of Mercy reminds me of an episode of Stargate SG-1 called The Nox. While the Organians of Star Trek don’t have the odd look of the Nox from SG-1, these stories are essentially the same. It makes me wonder if SG-1 did …
Stargate SG-1: City of the Gods
“City of the Gods” (COTG) was the pilot episode/movie for the “Stargate SG-1″ TV series. Premiering on the Showtime Channel, the movie starred Richard Dean Anderson as “Jack O’Neill”, the hard-nosed colonel that was portrayed in the theatrical film by Kurt Russell. The James Spader role of …
Fringe Season 4 Episode 2 TV show

Anyone who is a fan of the Dave Chapelle show will more than likely LOVE “The Boondocks“. This is a cartoon by Aaron McGruder, and is shown on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim hour. The show is based off the comic strip, and centers …
The Phone show
I’m almost afraid to admit that I’ve been watching The Phone. After all, it’s on MTV and it’s from the mind of Justin Timberlake. Now that’s scary!
The Phone is an overly dramatic program that has made stunt people very happy. The stunt bill must be enormous for …

Laramie: Midnight Rebellion TV Show
Laramie: Midnight Rebellion features Robert Fuller as Jess Harper, and it’s a pretty dramatic hour for this superbly done television western. The ending has a lot of action and poignancy to it, and it does get intense at times.
However, let’s start with the opening scene from this show …
Tales of the Gold Monkey: Boragora or Bust
There were two scenes in Tales of the Gold Monkey: Boragora or Bust that I really liked. The first was Jack the dog exposing a con artist doing the famous shell game. It was pretty funny, especially when he grabbed a shell and ate it. The second …
Ghost Hunters: 2 Houses
Ok, the first episode of Ghost Hunters that is on disk 3 of season two is an absolute joke. I like this series but the episode, entitled “Two Houses” was basically as boring as the others I have seen this season.
The team is called in to investigate two houses. …
Lifetime Movie Network
Lifetime Movie Network caters to women. This is the place for chick flicks. I�m not a fan of television, but when I need to sit down, relax and unwind, chances are I will tune into Lifetime Movie Network. There are movies shown twenty four hours a day, seven days …
M*A*S*H: Pressure Points
In M*A*S*H: Pressure Points, Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) gets overly snappy and testy towards the personnel, especially Hawkey Pierce (Alan Alda) after returning from a brief trip away. It all stems because Hawkeye has to operate on one of Potter’s patients. The colonel becomes more intolerant …
MASH- Season 5
The 5th Season of MASH helped the series rebound from, my opinion, a weak 4th season. To spice things up, MASH has Margaret getting engaged to a Lt. Colonel she met while in Tokyo and, as a result, ending her relationship with Frank Burns. The season finale has her …

The Great British Bake Off was a 6 week challenge with 10 top bakers cooking around Britain, with two eliminated each week. I’ve seen five of these shows and hope to catch the sixth. Since I’m in America, sometimes I’m not able to see all of these …
20 Most Horrifying Hollywood Murders
I was scrolling down TVguide.com this morning and came across the show 20 Most Horrifying Hollywood Murders on E! Since that sort of thing intrigues me, I figured I would give it a chance tonight.
It was an OK show but it wasn’t as good as I expected it to …

Criminal Minds Season 1 Episode 15 Unfinished Business
I thought it was a pretty decent episode. I enjoyed it, although I felt it was a little bit slow. And despite the fact that Reid is supposed to have these special mental skill and photographic memory, I thought it was just a little bit too much how he …
House: Frozen
I haven’t watched any new episodes of House lately so the opportunity to watch one right after the Super Bowl was a good one. And, I wasn’t disappointed.
This one, Frozen, is actually one of the better episodes I’ve seen. House and his staff have to diagnose a patient via …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Prom
Well, everyone knows you can’t have any sort of television series that takes place at a high school without having at least one episode dedicated to the Prom. The thing about Buffy the Vampire Slayer though, is the episode about the prom, fittingly entitled “The Prom” at least adds …
Once Upon a Time (ABC tv series)
I’ve always had a love for Fairy tales and Disney movies and so I was intrigued when a family member introduced “Once Upon a Time” to me. I didn’t have a lot of hope for it though since it looked a little low budget and I didn’t see how …
Diagnosis Murder: A Very Fatal Funeral TV Show
As I watched Diagnosis Murder: A Very Fatal Funeral from season two, I knew something had to be odd about the story. This was because as the opening credits rolled there was an unusual focus on a funeral. However, the angles didn’t show any of the mourners …
Laramie: Wolf Cub TV Show
This show, Wolf Cub from Laramie’s third season, features Robert Blake as the title character, who in the opening teaser is saved from being hunted by Earl Droody. Droody is played by the artful Arthur Hunnicutt. This character actor was always entertaining.
There is a beautiful scene between …

Nova is a television program that runs a series of documentaries. Each episode is a documentary that tells a different story. Sometimes these documentaries are about animals, sometimes about people, sometimes about politics and sometimes about history. Many of these documentaries can be found on Netflix’s …
CSI:NY pilot episode Blink
Every pilot episode of a tv show should do three things: introduce the characters and the plot, set the tone for the series, and draw the viewer’s attention.
‘Blink’ achieves all three easily. The plot is, of course, similar to all the other procedurals out there, and as a part …
New Girl ‘Road Trip’, TV Show

Law and Order: CI Season 1, Episode 9
This episode of Law and Order Criminal Intent has a completely new feel to it. This is one of the first stories the show did that seemed more original, and less like a story we’ve previously seen on one of the other Law and Order franchise. The episode begins …
Secret Girlfriend episode 1

Justice League Unlimited Season One: This Little Piggy
