I’m just glad that CSI is back on track. To me, it lost its footing in the previous season, which coincided with Grissom’s sabbatical. No matter how of course the producers bandaged the situation, the crack evidently showed.
To me this was understandable, for how do you cope …

Ugly Betty has no great stars to carry it out of anonymity, but it is a copy of the South American soap opera of the same name. I was able to watch the South American version in its entirety. It was super popular, though goofy at …

Just when I thought television couldn’t get any worse, I saw this show. First of all, I cannot believe that New York was even allowed to have her own reality show. But I guess the more despicable a person is, the more America wants to see her/him. …

I like watching The Twilight Zone: Death Ship, though it’s not a favorite. Still, with Jack Klugman and Ross Martin in the leads, it’s good stuff. It’s also another intriguing plot surrounding death that is thought provoking, though not in terms of relaying a message, but rather, …

This was not a bad season. So far, not my favorite, but definitely a good tie-in for what was done and what is to come. The fact that I continue to even watch Scrubs is proof enough that it is both clever, cute, and hilarious enough to win over …

Comediennes Jo Brand, and the lesser known Jo Scanlan and Vicki Pepperdine bring us a satirical look at the day to day workings of a modern NHS hospital.

Well, when the new episode of Psych came out and I heard it starred pro wrestler John Cena, I was definitely intrigued. I didn’t expect it to be a pretty decent episode.
This one is a bit sad to be honest, not only is Shawn’s girlfriend (who I just realized …

Now there hasn’t been much to say on the positive front regarding comedy on television within the past couple of years. Shows like Friends, Will and Grace, and That 70s Show, upon their end, left a trail of not so great, mediocre comedy’s in their wake. We even saw …

I love this edition of Fireball XL5: 1875. Gerry Anderson, the creator of the series, just really amazes me at how he utilizes the puppets and builds stories around them like we’d find in any science fiction TV series. In this one, that genius Professor Matt Matic …

One of the things I never liked about Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the fact the main character has almost superhero-like powers to help her fight evil; something that gives her almost too much of an advantage.

In watching this second episode of The Apprentice UK, I realized this was a director’s cut. I don’t know if that’s because it’s ‘on demand’ or if that is how the BBC America channel is airing it, but apparently, these aren’t necessarily as they are seen in Britain.
This …
