Happy days are just about here again! Full Circle is the final episode of season six of Stargate SG-1, and Michael Shanks returns as Daniel Jackson. The opening scene is sheer heaven. Daniel talks to Jack in an elevator, and it’s just like old times. …

I can’t believe that for the last few years I have not been watching Big Bang Theory. I heard about it, but the description of the show did not seem appealing to me at all. I sounded like just another one of those “time wasting” sitcoms.

As far as the Simpsons Treehouse of Horrors episodes go, most of the later ones are kind of dumb and don’t really have a whole lot to do with Halloween. One of the few exceptions to this is Treehouse of Horrors XIII.
The first skit on the show, where Homer …

But, after watching it, I have to admit …

CHiPs: Rustling from season one actually had what I would call the first serious storyline, one that was emotional on a deep level. Most of the time, things are light or perhaps angry, and there’s been emotion, but not quite like this.
G.W. Bailey plays a drunk driver who …
