Models of the Runway: Hot Mess
Finally. Models of the Runway has been getting a bit boring lately because the designers almost always stick with the models they are used to and don’t make a change from week to week (even the models themselves were commenting about that). So, you can’t imagine how refreshing it …

Stargate SG-1: Lockdown
Stargate SG-1: Lockdown is one of the best episodes of season eight; in fact, of all of the latter seasons of the show. It’s full of good stuff.
In this story, Anubis has made his way to Earth and ends up taking over different people’s bodies. The problem …
Captain Phil Harris
Captain Phil Harris used to run the Cornelia Marie, a crab fishing boat profiled on the Discovery Channel documentary show, “Deadliest Catch”. I love the entire show, but watching Captain Phil is probably my favorite part of the series. Though Captain Phil recently died of stroke complications, …
Fireball XL5: The Doomed Planet
Fireball XL5: The Doomed Planet is the second episode of this puppet, or rather supermarionation series from Gerry Anderson, and I love it for a few reasons.
First, we see how Colonel Steve Zodiac and Doctor Venus are at home when they are off duty. They drive from the …
The Second Leaders’ Debate, UK general election campaign 2010
The second of the live leaders’ debates to be held during this year’s U.K. general election campaign was, I thought, less of an interesting affair than the first one, and not only because that first debate had had the obvious advantage of being something of a novelty. This time …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Eleven Days to Zero TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Eleven Days to Zero gets it name from the fact that the nuclear submarine Seaview has just eleven days to stop a deathly disaster facing the planet. Following are some of my thoughts on the show:

M*A*S*H: Peace on Us
It’s a piece of mayhem in M*A*S*H: Peace on Us. Once again, the rigors of the Korean War become unbearable for the doctors and nurses. The whole camp is on edge with everyone being overly testy. Margaret Houlihan (Loretta Swit) is fit to be tied over …
Hellcats: The Prisoner’s Song TV Show

What’s New Scooby Doo: Simple Plan and the Invisible Man
I used to love it when Scooby Doo episodes had famous guest stars. But, for that to work for me, I really have to know who the heck is on the show. The What’s New Scooby Doo Episode “Simple Plan and the Invisible Man” had a rock band, Simple …

Diagnosis Murder: Witness to Murder TV Show

Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 14 - The Assignment
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 14 - The Assignment takes a bit of a tragic turn for my favorite, Lt. Simon Adams (Richard Dean Anderson). There’s some fun moments early on, but then something happens that disturbs him greatly, so much so that he is given a ten-day leave.
Back …

Parking Wars: S4, Ep 3 TV Show
The third episode of Parking Wars for season four had a lot going on in Philadelphia. One of the fun bits is getting to see the different personalities of those who work as the ticketing agents. There are all kinds. Some come across flamboyantly and even …
No Ordinary Family: No Ordinary Vigilante TV Show
No Ordinary Family: No Ordinary Vigilante followed the Powell family, now possessive of unusual powers, has they continue to adjust to their situation. This is a show that is a little bit science fiction, a part comedy, and a tad of drama as well. For me, the …

Air Pockets was the 11th episode of Sea Hunt’s second season on the air. The show starred Lloyd Bridges as Mike Nelson, an expert at skin diving, which had him in high demand for any business having any type of under water business. In this case, two …
Golden Girls Season One Boxed Set
The first season of the Golden Girls is something completely random, and that is part of the reason why I had to rate the boxed set lower than I wanted too. As much as I love the episodes, the first season is disjointed and discombobulated, with no real pattern …
The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 2: The Host
A monster of the week episode should, by all accounts, be difficult to pull off, what with the X-files being closed and all. Still, we manage to get a classic one here. The “flukeman” has become one of the iconic X-files monsters and, after watching this episode, …
Monk TV Episode: Mr. Monk and the Sleeping Suspect
I got home from work last night and, since I was exhausted, sat down on the couch and began flipping through channels on TV. I came across an episode of the show Monk that I hadn’t seen before; Mr. Monk and the Sleeping Suspect, and decided to watch it.

Saved by the Bell
Saved by the Bell was a really cool show that I remember. It was show that brings back to many memories and really made me laugh. The show is about a bunch of kids in high school. It’s very funny and also very entertaining. I think the way the kids …
Afro Samurai Episode 2 (Anime)
Afro is found and nursed back to health by a woman named Okiku (Kelly Hu). But there may be more to her than just her taking care of Afro (Samuel Jackson).

Cold Case - Volunteers show
I don’t get many opportunities to watch the show Cold Case. But, i took part of the day off to take my daughter to the fair (which was ruined by the rain) and ended up watching a re-run of it today “Volunteers.” It was pretty decent.
The show starts out …
So You Think You Can Dance
So You Think You Can Dance, a “reality tv show” created by the minds behind American Idol and shown on Fox, is by far the most entertaining show in the new millennium. Aside from the not-so-quality entertainment acts sometimes brought in for elimination night, this show is family friendly …
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 …
The Simpsons: Dial N for Nerder
Well, I got to see a later Simpsons episode that wasn’t too badly written; “Dial N for Nerder” and I have to say it had a pretty good plot.
You have two basic storylines going on. First, you have Bart playing a prank on Martin that causes him to fall …
America’s Got Talent: Finale 2010 TV Show
The 2010 America’s Got Talent finale was fairly entertaining. The final four were pretty good. There was the colorful Prince Poppycock, the everyday singer Michael Grimm, the variety act Fighting Gravity, and the young operatic star Jackie Evancho. In my mind, it was down to Grimm and …

LAW AND ORDER TV SHOW
At my house, the television set is usually set on TNT, to watch Law & Order. I am a court advocate, and I enjoy watching the workings of the police and of the court actions, afterwards, on this t.v. drama.
The really nicest part of this series is that you …
Austin Stevens:In Search of the Giant Anaconda
I had never watched any of Austin Stevens shows before, however I watched one of his episodes- In search of the Great Anaconda, and I was so impressed by this guy.

Arrested Development TV Show
This has to be by far, one of the best tv shows I have ever seen. The tv series is hilarous! It has a growing fan base too. Arrested Development has three seasons. (Hopefully there will be more if they bring the show back). You can watch all of …
So You Think You Can Dance Canada
As I was impatiently waiting for the fall season to start, I made do with watching shows from Canada and Australia. So You Think You Can Dance Canada was ongoing and so I decided to watch this reality dance show.

Fox News Channel
With the multiple news channels that we have access to in the United States, we all have to make choices about what channels we watch. I think that Fox News is the best choice among American news channels. This is for many reasons.
First of all, its slogan …
Goin Bulilit
I have always loved watching funny shows; I think it is a good stress buster. In the Philippines, gag shows and funny shows, and even sitcoms have become really few these days; mostly people have concentrated on getting Korean novellas, and foreign shows. If not, locally produced shows are …
Probe: Now You See It…
From March 1988, Probe: Now You See It… makes me chuckle. The fun part about the lead character of Austin James (Parker Stevenson) is that he is responsible for some great inventions. One of his creations is what I’ll call the talking elevator. It greets you, …
Laramie: The Long Riders
Laramie: The Long Riders is one of my all time favorite shows from this high quality western series. It’s from season two and guest stars Dan Duryea as Luke Gregg. Robert Crawford Jr. also appears as Andy Sherman, home for a while on break from attending …
