The pilot for the new TV series, The Whole Truth, was just okay in my opinion. The show features Rob Morrow as a fast paced defense attorney, along with Maura Tierney as the lead prosecutor. This gives the viewer both sides of the story, so to speak.
At …

Dexter has been my absolutely my most favorite show for many years. I love every minute of it. Season 6,, however, is not as entertaining as the previous one, though it is more intense and charged with meaning. Episode 4 of season 6 of Dexter was really, really …

In Baby Grobags, Amanda Hillwood guest stars as Helen. She and her …

Medium Season 4 Episode 15- Being Joey Carmichael
This was another spooky and bizarre episode of Medium. It was intentionally confusing and strange. The whole show deals with the paranormal and the bizarre, but I think this episode has done an extra good job at weirding me out. Usually …

The less than thrilling part for me is the …

What can I say about Bring ‘Em Back Alive: The Best of Enemies? Not much that is good, that’s for sure. This adventure series continues to be sub-par. Star Bruce Boxleitner didn’t have enough sparkle to keep the show dazzling along, and the co-stars were almost …

I don’t watch a lot of PBS (Public Broadcasting System) shows and never have. I just didn’t grow up watching the dramas too much, probably because so much of it is British and the culture was strange to me as a child. I didn’t know what they …

Iljimae is yet another wonderful drama that I truly love and enjoy. Not because I am a fan of the lead star but because I find the story really wonderful and heartfelt. The story was about a son of a noble man who was killed mercilessly; he was set …

Sometimes a clever twist at the end of a season finale is a good thing for a series. Other times, like in the case of the show Bones, it might not be such a great move.
I missed seeing the season finale, The Pain in the Heart, when it first …

Emerald Point N.A.S. was more soap opera than military drama, and I think I have always regretted that. I knew that it is what it would be all along, but I was hoping for more guts and glory than extramarital affairs and scheming. As the second part …

A short while ago, I commented that the later Simpsons Treehouse of Terror episodes aren’t anywhere near as good as the earlier versions.
I was wrong.

The television series “Cow and Chicken” was one of the most popular cartoons on the cable television channel Cartoon Network from the late 90s to the early 2000s. I can remember most of my friends liking it and having discussions about it even in high school. I didn’t like …

The problem with The Virginian, as I’ve said before, is that it bores me more often than not. I couldn’t watch it as a kid because none of the characters captured my heart or imagination. This episode, The Exiles, exemplifies those feelings. It’s a show towards …

Emergency! is one of my all time favorite shows and I have very little that is big time negative to say about it. Most of the shows I adore, and that goes true for this episode, called Botulism. It’s from season one of this emergency medical drama …
