I can’t help it; I’m obsessed with this TV show every time I end up finding out that it’s on. I guess maybe I’m ‘taking notes’ for the day when my fiance and I have kids and if they’re unruly and whatnot. I like the way the nannies deal …

“The Nox” is arguably the single, best episode of Stargate SG-1. This team episode captured the magic and essence of SG-1’s exploration of the universe. It showed the fallacy and limitations of our assumptions, while entertaining us at the same time.
The Nox are a simple, yet complex …

Last December 2008, I saw this reality Television show on Fox. It is entitled Secret Millionaire. It was just very timely then. The show can inspire people to share more during the holidays, no matter how bad the economy may be. Every episode I watch, my heart goes for our …

One of the things I like about That Girl is that they celebrate a lot of the holidays, or at least acknowledge them. Some shows may do Christmas, but that’s about it, so this is quite nice. The occasion here is New Year’s Eve, and to welcome …

This sixth season episode of Stargate SG-1 does nothing for me at all. It’s one of the reasons I just groan through most of the shows. This one is called Prophecy, and it focuses on Jonas Quinn, which may be why I just don’t like it.
The show ties …

Today was the first time I’ve seen the Simpsons episode “Trilogy of Error” in its entirety. And, I have to admit it is one of the better episodes in the series.

Well what can I say about the TV show Scrubs. I have to say that this is one of the worst TV shows I have seen in my life. I don’t know if it is because I hate hospitals or because of the bad acting but I hate it. The …

That was a really, but really boring episode. I did not enjoy it at all. I don’t know what they were thinking when they were writing it. Not only that nothing really happens in there, but the whole story just is not quite believable.
In the first story line, …

In M*A*S*H: A Full Rich Day, Hawkeye Pierce sends another letter home to his dad, only this time it’s not written, but spoken on a tape recorder. I love the opening explanation of how Hawkeye ended up with the recorder. It’s pretty funny.

Episode three of The Twilight Zone isn’t a particular favorite of mine. It’s called Mr. Denton on Doomsday and features Dan Duryea. Certainly, Duryea was one very talented man. He’s been in numerous shows that I have enjoyed greatly, but this wasn’t one of them. …
