American Idol TV show
Every year, I keep promising myself that I will not get sucked back into watching another season of “American Idol.” I just get way too caught up in the weekly results aspect of it. I keep telling myself that I will not ride that emotional rollercoaster again.

Numb3rs Season 5 episode 20 The 5th man
I like the show Numb3rs a lot. Some people say that it is just another police show…FBI sorry, in which good guys always get the bad guys. Well that’s not far away from the truth I admit but I still I don’t watch most of CSI and similar police …
Nip/Tuck
“Nip/Tuck” is like no other medical drama that has ever been on television. It is clearly not a show that is “family-friendly,” since it deals with a lot of extremely raw adult themes. The show revolves around two successful plastic surgeons- Dr. Sean McNamara and Christian Troy, their …

Night Gallery: The Return of the Sorcerer TV Show

Hercules:The Legendary Journeys TV show
This is my favorite episode from the first season of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. Although a little cheesy at times (and what Hercules episode isn’t,to a certain extant),it is humorous,fast-paced and just plain fun. And I always enjoy it when Michael Hurst,who plays Hercules best friend,Iolaus,joins the cast because …
Wagon Train: The Michael Malone Story
Actor Michael Parks made a huge splash in a TV series called Then Came Bronson. He was a philosophical motorcycle biker making his way around America. When I see him, that’s what I think about, even if the show I’m turning on is a classic western like …

Criminal Minds: The Longest Night TV Show

Psych: From Earth to the Starbucks

Stargate SG-1: Prometheus Unbound
Stargate SG-1: Prometheus Unbound from season eight is a show I have some conflicts about. On its own, it’s not bad, though there are issues, but when applied to SG-1 as a whole, I hate it because it’s the show that brought the character of Vala to the …
