Masters of Horror Series
Masters of Horror was a television series that aired on Showtime for two seasons. Since Showtime is a pay channel (and fairly expensive in my area), I didn’t see the episodes when they first aired. Instead I purchased the episodes as they were released on DVD, which happened at …
Highway Patrol: Fisherman’s Luck TV Show
Highway Patrol: Fisherman’s Luck didn’t feel very lucky to me. It was just one of those half hour offerings when I wasn’t lured into the story or captivated by what was happening within the ranks of this fictionalized California Highway Patrol department.
Perhaps the reason for my lack of …
Due South: Odds
Due South: Odds features Stephanie Romanov as a poker player named Denny Scarpa. Romanov is a lovely woman. In fact, she starred as Jacqueline Kennedy in Thirteen Days. Here, Scarpa’s card playing is called into question and is being staked out by Constable Fraser, the fake …

Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics - Champions Gala
The Champions Gala for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics was held on Saturday, February 27th, and it was worth the wait.

Have Gun - Will Travel: Man in an Hourglass TV Show
This review will cover the December 1962 show, Have Gun - Will Travel: Man in an Hourglass. It was the 12th episode of the western’s sixth season, and it does have some very interesting elements to it. As always, Richard Boone stars as Paladin, the sometimes poetic …
Star Trek: The Original Series - Season One Remastered
When it was first announced that the original Star Trek was going to be treated to a special effects update, I was excited. Sure, I liked the show for its characters, stories, and music, but the special effects play an important role, too. To me, the special effects can …
The Story of the Toad - Upright Citizens Brigade show
The Story of the Toad is the 6th episode of the first season of Upright Citizens Brigade. Many of their episodes try to cover a certain theme: for this episode, that theme was relationships. It takes place on Valentine’s Day, and we can see the UCB members …
Due South: Hawk and Handsaw
Due South: Hawk and Handsaw from season one of this somewhat unique drama has Royal Canadian Mountie Benton Fraser (Paul Gross) pretending to be insane and entering a mental institution where he suspects things aren’t right. It has some nice moments, like when Fraser talks about when his …

Criminal Minds tv series
I love watching movies, and since there are not so many great movies to watch at the theater most of the time, I stick with TV series. I watch many TV series, and one of them is Criminal Minds. At first it was not too interesting since …
Star Trek: The City on the Edge of Forever TV Show
Star Trek: The City on the Edge of Forever is probably the most classic and well produced episode in the entire original series. It’s received much acclaim over the years and is fondly thought of by fans. From April 1967, this episode features Joan Collins as Sister …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Beauty and the Beasts
The Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode Beauty and the Beasts actually turned out to be a good one because of the mystery involved.
You have Oz turning into a werewolf and, even though he was locked up, nobody is sure he stayed that way because the window was left open …
The Fresh Prince of Bel Air
Ok. So I know this show is a classic or something and I sort of remember watching it when it was originally aired. But I don’t understand how everyone thinks Will Smith was the best character of the show. I really don’t think he carried the show. He was …
Diagnosis Murder: Murder on the Run: Part 1 TV Show
So far, Diagnosis Murder has done one two-part story each season and this third year is no exception. Diagnosis Murder: Murder on the Run: Part 1 aired in January 1996 with the conclusion airing one week later.
This is a good time to note another change to season three, …
Tv Show “Raising Hope” Episode 6 “Family Secrets”

LG 32″ 720P Television
I absolutely love my LG 720P LCD television set. Given to me as a surprise from a very special friend, I have faithfully been watching television magic on the 32 inch screen. The image quality of the screen is absolutely fantastic and very clear, conveying colors vividly and crisply …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Hunted
Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Hunted is an episode that is not quite as powerful or meaningful as “The High Ground” is, however, it too speaks of an important message that is worthy of being discussed and not simply cast aside. It is a relevant message and …
TV Show: Raising Hope
My wife and I were watching the show Glee for the first time the other night and, after that show was over, a newer one called Raising Hope came on the air.
Since it was on a channel we rarely watch, I was not aware of this show prior to …
Family Guy 10-4: Stewie Goes for A Drive
I want to walk outside and scream up at the sky. Asking what has been happening to one of the best cartoons on television. Family Guy has been sinking to new lows with their Season 10, but this episode was just a sinker. It hit the iceberg and the …
MacGyver: Easy Target
MacGyver: Easy Target started with a twist — MacGyver and Pete bickering from a weekend ski outing that hadn’t gone as planned. It got worse when Mac’s jeep ran out of gas, which caused more bickering. It was quite fun to watch. Mac and Pete split …
Bell Xpress Vu Dual Tuner PVR
I love this device. I waited for Canada to have an equivalent to TIVo and now that we do, I would never go back to normal television.
I love pausing and rewinding, recording my favourite shows and having both televisions hooked up to only one receiver (via UHF remote) is …
Drake & Josh: Really Big Shrimp
I’ve never been able to get into the television show “Drake & Josh.” However, whenever they have made a TV movie, I’ve found it to be entertaining.
Their lastest movie, Really Big Shrimp, is the same way. From what I can tell, it’s meant to put closure to the series…showing …
Xena Warrior Princess
I think that Xena Warrior Princess is a pretty good show. I have always thought it was kind of funny, yet it was still a good show. The thing I liked about the show was that Xena was very strong for a woman. And she always would fight both men …
M*A*S*H: Der Tag
Most of M*A*S*H: Der Tag is focused on Frank Burns (Larry Linville) flipping out because his lover, Margaret Houlihan (Loretta Swit) is in Tokyo. Even worse, she’s talking about some male physical therapist’s with some lust in her voice. It’s enough to send Frank over the edge, …
Afro Samurai
I recently had the chance to watch the five episodes of the Manga-like action Anime titled Afro Samurai, and must admit it was one of the best anime I have seen for a long time now.
The story evolves under a Japanese Tech setting, whilst at the same time, a …

Fireball XL5: Faster Than Light
Fireball XL5: Faster Than Light is another good entry for this puppeteering TV show. There’s some action going on here, especially with Fireball XL5 having engine problems. There’s a bit where the ship goes incredibly fast, actually going faster than light speed. Seeing this on screen is …

What’s New Scooby Doo: Mummy Scares Best
I liked the first episode of the series “What’s New Scooby Doo” but I’m not sure if I was a big fan of the second “Mummy Scares Best” simply because it was a bit too predictable.
The problem with this episode, which features a mummy trying to scare people away …

Futurama TV Episode: Fear of a Bot Planet
Well, so far, I have liked most of the Futurama episodes I have been watching with my daughter over the past couple of days. But, the season 1 episode Fear of a Bot Planet was actually kind of weak compared to most of the others.
The problem with this episode …
Bones TV Episode: The Beginning in the End
I wasn’t really sure what to expect from the Bones Season 5 finale last night. I kind of figured it would leave things hanging a bit to build up for next season. But, at the same time, I was a bit afraid it wouldn’t be as good as the …
MASH - Season 9
I think this season may have kept MASH going for a couple of more years just because the episodes, though not as funny, definitely made you think more about the mental effects of war.
First Hawkeye needs to reply to a letter written by a kid who lost his brother …
The Beast: My Brother’s Keeper TV Show

The X-Files Lord of the Flies Episode
One of the things I liked about this television show was the introduction. Of course I also liked the plot and I guess I can say that it is one of the most interesting X-Files episodes I have ever seen. In a way the fictitious show “Dumbass” in …
Bones TV Episode: The Rocker in the Rinse Cycle
Well, last night’s episode of Bones wasn’t the best episode I’ve seen, but it wasn’t the worst one either.
