Timothy (Youngblood) Chapman
So there used to be this show on TV that was called Dog the Bounty Hunter. The star of the show liked to call himself “Dog” and he was a bounty hunter. Last fall the show went off the air because it came out that “Dog” liked …
Undercovers: Devices TV Show
Undercovers: Devices had a violent opening which I think is ironically tragic because of the victim. I had been a third party, enjoying the cartoons that the victim, a nurse, was watching on TV. It just felt wrong to have her shot to pieces while watching an …
Teach - Tony Danza: Homesick TV Show
Teach - Tony Danza: Homesick is the fourth effort into telling the story about this well known performer teaching for a year at a high school in Philadelphia. Danza had a lot of guts to take on this project, and I’m hoping that by the end of the …
The Twilight Zone: The Shelter TV Show
From 1961, the third year of this classic science fiction series, The Twilight Zone: The Shelter is another one that focuses on the human condition; specifically, the desire to survive no matter the cost.

TV Show: 30 Minute Meals
30 Minute Meals is one of Food Network’s most popular shows. Rachael Ray is the cook/host and she rocks! She comes up with 30 minute meals with simple instructions, easy to find items, and a new, creative twist on old or slow cooking meals. I love all of her …
Justice League Unlimited Season One: Fearful Symmetry
Fearful Symmetry is the rather bland fourth episode of Justice League Unlimited, season one. The episode stars Supergirl, which is normally a good thing. However, the episode is light on action and the plot is not all that interesting.
I did enjoy that the writers stuck Supergirl with …
Firefly: The Television series
Joss Whedon is one of those love him or hate him writers. I like him. I enjoyed Buffy and Angel, although I did find them to be a bit overpraised. Such is the case with a lot of things in geek culture.
One show in …
TMZ on TV (celebrity gossip TV show)
If you like celebrity gossip, you have probably seen the TMZ television show which comes on Fox TV. If you have even perused the website TMZ.com once, you’ll understand that this show focuses heavily on celeb dirt. I like the format, in which the viewers …
Ghost Hunters: Hellfire Caves

I had heard of the Hellfire Club before but reading about them and seeing …
True Blood Episode 1: Strange Love
The first scene of the episode was great as far as letting the watcher know what the premise of the story is and gives a great pipe in for the turning plot. Two curious kids, a gas station, and monsters are a great way to start a scary …

Jeremiah: Out of the Ashes
Jeremiah: Out of the Ashes was an interesting episode with a couple of different focuses. Much like the previous story, Moon in Gemini, the heroes are split up more than they are together, which I believe is a shame. Buddy shows work best when the chemistry between …
Friends Episode: The One with Ross Taking Care of Rachel

Have Gun - Will Travel: Place for Abel Hix TV Show
From October 1962, Have Gun - Will Travel: Place for Abel Hix was the fourth outing for this western’s sixth season on the air. It would also be its last. One of the things that was really a bummer for this sixth season is that there wasn’t …
Project Runway, season 3
Now that there’s only one episode left in the third season of Project Runway, I can honestly say I can’t wait until it is finally over.
This season has to be one of the more annoying seasons I’ve ever seen. It seems to me that fashion has taken second place …

Seinfeld
When I was in college, Seinfeld was the show to watch. But, while I did watch it, and still do on occasion (re-runs), I was never a person who obsessed over it.
Some episodes of Seinfeld are really funny. And, episodes like �The Contest� or the �Soup Nazi� are very …

Stargate SG-1: Unnatural Selection
Stargate SG-1: Unnatural Selection is actually part two of the story that began in Prometheus the week before. However, they really aren’t connected in terms of the story. Prometheus was an avenue to get the ship in space and meet up with the Asgard.

Dark Blue is a serious series on the lives of deep undercover police officers, so deep that even their fellow cops do not know about it. I think the title is so appropriate considering that the series deals with the dark side of life. I can feel the tension …

John Adams: Peacefield TV Show
John Adams: Peacefield is the seventh and final installment of this HBO mini-series that dealt with the life and times of John Adams, as played by Paul Giamatti. His wife Abigail was portrayed beautifully and painfully by Laura Linney in what I think is her best performance ever. …
The Amazing Race - 3/22/09
The Amazing Race took the teams to India once again. Watching the reactions to this country is always emotional. In particular, it was Luke who had the most dramatic and emotional reaction. It’s hard seeing kids eating garbage and running around naked. His tears were …
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 …

Highway Patrol: Blast Area Copter TV Show

This has to be one of my top or favorite episodes of CSI ever because it really highlights the character of Greg. When I saw it, I also thought it felt like one of the older episodes of the show from the days before they started focusing on different …
Smallville 9.3: Rabid
You can’t go wrong with zombies. There’s just something about them that work, even when it’s greatly flawed. These are more of the “rage zombie” ilk as opposed to the slow walking dead. Seeing the latter would’ve been cool, but this works too.
The change is caused …

That Girl: That Senorita
There’s an odd thing that I noticed in That Girl: That Senorita. It’s the fifth season and while things began to ease up in the fourth season, in this one things are definitely looser in tone and style. It’s a sign of the times in which That …

This is ABS-CBN’s prime time news. It is shown every 6:30 and ends around 8:00. It features news anchors, Julius Babao, Karen Davila, and Ted Failon.

Stargate SG-1: The Torment of Tantalus
