The film version of this extraordinary play was done with expertise, appropriate care and brilliant acting. I don’t think it could have been done better. The cast is superb, including the likes of Steve Buscemi, Laura Linney, Christina Ricci and others. They bring their A-game to …

So I was going back through some of the series that I used to watch in the 90s as a young child and found some things that I haven’t seen or heard of for a very long time. One of them I remember was a series called “Big Bad …

This was a very exciting episode, where we and Sam learn much about his childhood. Sam is this man who had an accident in 2008 and woke up in 1973. He has many unresolved issues from his childhood and somehow now in 1973 he manages to find out stuff …

I decided to take a leap of faith tonight and watch Ghost Whisperer: Leap of Faith. Up until earlier this year, I was a big fan of the show. I wasn’t always happy with the direction it took (I hated it when Melinda’s best friend was killed …

This program came on TLC and I was so amazed by the families and the children that I saw. They were absolutely huge. Not just tall people, but actually really large. There was this one girl from Thailand who was to travel to England to find …

Highway Patrol: Trojan Horse, season 2’s 23rd episode gave California Highway Patrol Chief Dan Mathews a puzzle to solve. It seems the Jarmin Manufacturing Company had their substantial payroll stolen. The question is just how did the thieves get in and out of the guarded facility. …

Lost is a television series on every Wednesday evening at 10 pm central on CTV. It gets better and better each time I see it. The mystery involved in this story is so intriguing, it reveals a different scenario for each character every episode. Basically, the passengers of an …

Originally airing on January 9, 1983, Voyagers!: Buffalo Bill & Annie Oakley Play the Palace is the 12th episode of the series, and it’s a royal one, with a story revolving around Queen Victoria and her daughter; more specifically, who her daughter will marry.
What is so fun about Voyagers! …

Since I saw the trailer of The Walking Dead on cable, I just knew I had to watch it. Honestly I am not really a huge fan of zombies. I’m a bit terrified of them but I do watch them, which is probably the influence of my boyfriend since …

I would like to discuss about a TV Programme which is shown in the private channel Vijay TV (Group of Starplus). The name of the program is Grandmaster. It is a Tamil program. The program goes like this. The contestant should think of a famous personality and should give …

Usually before an episode of Pushing Daisies begins, a Jim Dale narrated summary explains the show’s premise and any extra bits of information the viewer might need. It goes something like: Ned can bring dead things back to life for one minute by touching them; if he touches …

In the War and Remembrance: The Music of War and Remembrance featurette, Bob Cobert, who did the music for both The Winds of War and the sequel, War and Remembrance, talks about his history with producer Dan Curtis, the producer, director, and co-writer of the mini-series, and how he …

“The Big C” was one of those few television series that I was fortunate enough to start watching when it first premiered on television back when I still had Showtime. It was a bit unusual in comparison to the television series I would tend to watch especially at that …

Well, we watched the 2-hour special for Ghost Hunters 100th episode last night and, for the most part, their investigation of Alcatraz lived up to expectations.
Of course, when I say that, I mean I wasn’t expecting them to find too much and that was the case.
Yes, they heard some …

I once again sat down to watch an episode of Futurama with my oldest daughter last night. And, since it was the next one on the DVD, we ended up watching the season 1 episode entitled “Mars University.”
This one was an OK episode but not an overly great one. …

The Ray Bradbury Theater: Boys! Raise Giant Mushrooms in Your Cellar! which aired in November 1989 must be Bradbury’s answer to every B-movie science fiction plot about Earth being taken over by space invaders, especially things like The Blob.
The story starts innocently enough with a boy named Tom …

What I loved about this fourth episode of The Amazing Race’s 17th season is that it showed the teams giving back a little by helping to renovate an elementary school. Survivor started giving back years ago, so why it’s taken The Amazing Race so long to realize that …

Sometimes I really have to wonder about the dog, Brian, on the show Family Guy. Some episodes he reminds me of a sophisticated, well-educated person I know. Other days he reminds me of our family cat; who seems jealous of me when it comes to my wife (we affectionately …

The Beast: The Complete First Season DVD Set contains three disks in slim packs, 2 in the first and one in the other. There is a ‘play all’ option for the episodes, which I consider to be crucial. Each of the first two disks has four episodes …

Shout Factory produced the That Girl DVDs, beginning with this season one set. It’s a great set, but what I don’t like is the way the DVDs are organized. The DVDs are placed in one, long jacket. You open it and then have to open it …

After two pretty weak episodes, the show comes back in full force and shows us why this cartoon is still as enjoyable today as it was when we were kids. The episode is pretty much “Ghostbusters in Space” and it makes for quite the entertaining story. Part …

Aang and crew head to one of the air temples so that Aang can begin his Avatar training. The place is empty, but Aang maintains hope that they’ll find someone.
Kitara and Sokka actually find an fire warrior’s helmet, but Kitara decides to hide it to protect Aang from …

Janine finally gets some vacation time, and uses it to bring Egon to meet her folks. I know that she’s crushing on Egon, but this seems to imply that they are in a bona fide relationship. Egon even says that he’s not ready to meet her folks. …

The pilot for this series was a mixed bag. There was a lot of stuff that I really liked and stuff that I felt was either unwelcome or unnecessary. This episode is a bit more consistent and balanced and it ends up working both for and against …

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 …

For me, there’s nothing like good, old fashioned holiday fun, and last night I had a nice dose of that with the animated classic, A Flintstone’s Christmas. I actually don’t recall seeing this before, so it felt very new to me. I love the Flintstones, of course, …

This episode wraps up all the loose ends from part 1. Sokka manages to come up with another escape plan.
This episode has quite a few plot twists. Mai’s arrival was sort of expected, but it was still pretty well done. Her following in the …

I’ve been waiting for the return of Heroes since it left. I for one have been enjoying the show right along. There have of course been weak moments just like any show but in general it has worked well as a show and this episode fixed several of the …

Laramie is my all time favorite show. The stories were fresh and intriguing, and the stories were just top notch. This episode from the third season is called Rimrock. It actually starts out very fun and carefree with a scene that really made me smile and …

I haven’t seen House in a while so I was glad to be able to tune in last night and see a new episode of it. Not only that, it was a good episode too.
House decides to take a patient’s case because he finds it hard to believe the …

There a few television series these past few years that were watching. I like the cable televison better than the standard ABC, CBS, NBC, I watched TNT and there is a show called Saving Grace. It stars Holly Hunter, who plays Grace a detective in Oklahoma. …

Wagon Train: Little Girl Lost is a story from the final season of Wagon Train. It’s a little unusual for a western to have this type of story. I think it was perhaps their strange attempt at a Christmas tale since the story aired in Mid-December of …

Spongebob decides to purchase a television, but not so that he can watch television, he just wants to be able to use the box for his game of imagination. When the television arrives, Squidward is just baffled as to what Spongebob is actually doing, and he ends up getting …

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 …

Confrontation after confrontation after confrontation. That is what the final episodes here seem to be all about and that is a very good thing. It makes up for some of the lackluster nonsense that exists in the middle of Season 2. Continuing where the last one left off, we …

“Lucy and Bob Hope” is an episode of “I Love Lucy”. Bob Hope guest stars in one of the series’ most memorable episodes, in my opinion. In this episode, Lucy thinks that Ricky hasn’t been able to get Bob Hope to appear at his club because of her disastrous …

Although this show has been on the Food Network for less than a month now, it has quickly become one of my most favorite ones to watch. This is a television reality series in which two teams compete in a challenge to open up and successful run the …

The Man of the Hour was Sammy Davis Jr. on this Las Vegas taped edition of The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast. Unfortunately, it wasn’t as good as it could have been. I am a huge fan of Sammy’s. I loved his acting, his singing, and his …

For many of us, the thought that our spouse is cheating is a horrible thought. With the internet though, cheating has become much easier. That is a little fact of life that a poor suburban woman learns in this episode of Law and Order Criminal Intent. When her son …

Highway Patrol: Released Convict is a nice little show that is relatively entertaining. It’s all about a parolee who finally decides to try and dig up a quarter of a million dollars that he’s had hidden since before his arrest. He’s been on the obedient side of …

The second edition of Cupcake Wars began at Sea World, which was intriguing. As it turned out, the gala event that the competitors would be baking their cupcakes for was a celebration of Sumar the whale’s birthday. For me the highlight was seeing Sumar and his buddies. …

From November 1961, Have Gun - Will Travel: The Hanging of Aaron Gibbs was a very strong episode. It surprised me in many ways. The show guest stars black folk singer, Odetta. Now the only reason I use the descriptor ‘black’ in this review is because …

Claymore is an anime that came out recently (about some months ago) and is still ongoing. I watched about 2 episodes and it quickly became one of my favourites. It takes place in a world where humans and demons (which they term ‘Yoma’) coexist, as well as ‘Claymore’s; half …

In M*A*S*H: Goodbye, Cruel World, one of Hawkeye Pierce’s (Alan Alda) patients named Sergeant Michael Yee, is headed for home. He’s a hero, but he’s a despairing hero who attempts to kill himself. Clyde Kusatsu does a great job in this complex role. The concept …

Wow, I cannot believe I waited until this week to see this show. Everyone has been speaking of this show for years. The premise of the show is very interesting. In this, the first episode they lay out the whole plot for the viewer. Dexter …

I highly recommend this show to everyone. This is a great show with clever dialog and wonderful acting. The main character, Tara, played by Toni Collette is a woman who suffers from multiple personality disorder. She has a handful of personalities we get to see …
