Cult Classic Television Show: The X-Files by Chris Carter
When The X-Files first aired on television, my parents prevented me from watching, saying I was too young. This did not bode well with me, since my older brother was allowed to watch the show with my parents. Consequently, when my friend ordered Netflix a few months ago, I …
Big Train - Series Two
In its second series, Big Train undergoes a few changes. Firstly, the cast is heavily revamped. Julia Davis and Amelia Bullmore are both gone, but are replaced by a trio of female performers to play against the original three male members. Thankfully this time, the girls get to play …

Dancing with the Stars - AU: Episode 5 TV Show
Unfortunately, I missed the fourth outing of Dancing with the Stars - Australia last week, so couldn’t review it. I learned from the highlights here that Jobeth was knocked off, which was a shame. That information tucked away, it was time for a new round of competition …
Stargate SG-1: Frozen
For some reason, I like this season six episode more than the other ones before it so far. Maybe it’s the intrigue of the White Rock Research Station in Antarctica. That’s a new one for the team, and it’s kind of interesting.
I like the Ayiana character, a …
MTV’s Engaged and Underage
I’ve recently been watching Engaged and Underage on MTV. On the show they profile a new couple each week that has gotten engaged, and is currently under the normal age for getting married. I’m not exactly sure what the actual “normal” age is for getting married.
Some of the kids …
Roseanne Season Five
The fifth season of Roseanne was one of the last really great seasons of the show. It was before things got too wacky and the show was still grounded in reality a little bit. I thought the only unrealistic thing was when Roseanne, Jackie, and Nancy opened a restaurant …
Neon Genesis Evangelion episode 15
In our ludicrous world that we call home, we simply recycle the only lonely good memories we have and in exchange, we are punished for such arrogance to the highest degree. The very same standard applies itself to all humans, whether they be small or strong. This is Neon …

Grey’s Anatomy (TV series)
Grey’s Anatomy is a medical drama that airs on the ABC channel on Thursday nights. I came into the show a little bit late, but I have been slowly catching up from season 1.
The show reminds me vaguely of ER. However, there are some points to …
Peep Show
This is such an amazing program, not really one for the mainstream but if you like alternative humor then this is for you.
The way its filmed is extremely clever as if viewed through the eyes of the person talking(or listening) and centers around flat mates Mark and Jez.
Its now …
Friends Season One - The one with the birth
It is time for Carol to give birth to Ross’s baby, but all Ross and Susan can seem to do is argue about who is going to help Carol with the birth more. Ross feels like he should be in a big part of it because after all it …
House TV show
I never tire of this television show, season after season. In my opinion, it is the best show on television, and a welcome relief from the deluge of mindless reality television shows which assume the viewers have low intelligence and a high tolerance for monotony. Hugh Laurie’s portrayal of …
UKTV
This is a Foxtel channel that I love mainly for Eastenders, the poisoness Pauline, scheming Ian and gossiping Dot are fantastic. I watched this show when it first started and I was living in the UK and for the past year (thanks Foxtel) I have caught up …
Family Guy: Road to the Multiverse
Family Guy returns with the latest instalment in the Stewie and Brian centric “Road to..” episodes, with mixed success.
Usually, the “Road to…” episodes have always been great, especially the more recent ones. Brian and Stewie are unmatchable combination and the writing is usually on top form. However, this one …
That Girl: The Elevated Woman
The final show of That Girl has always been a disappointment to me. Series star Marlo Thomas refused to do a wedding show. She’s always been a feminist and she felt it was wrong to give the impression that her character of Ann Marie gets married and …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Bostonian
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Bostonian was a waste of viewing time in my book. I just felt like I’d seen versions of this tale many times, not the least of which were in other episodes of this western series. What amazes me is that it …
The Simpsons: Mypods and Boomsticks
Well, another Simpsons episode and another one that indirectly teaches the importance of tolerance when it comes to other cultures and religions.
Mypods and Boomsticks was a great episode because it teaches the danger of stereotyping muslim people into the terrorist category. Bart befriends a boy from Jordan and, because …
Best Week Ever
I’m not sure if Best Week Ever is still on televsion, but “Best Week Ever” was a series which would be aired every week on VH1. I didn’t pay much attention to it at first since I realise that many of these programmed on Vh1 tend to be nothing …
The Andy Griffith Show: Gomer the House Guest TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Gomer the House Guest is a classic episode of this great comedic television series. It always makes me laugh, no matter how many times I’ve seen it, and I have seen it more times than I can count in my lifetime.
There is one problem. …
Swift Justice with Nancy Grace (TV show)
One of my latest favorite shows is called Swift Justice. It is not your typical court show. It is much more casual than other shows like Judge Judy or Judge Alex. This show has heart, and the hostess is no nonsense.
The premise of this show is for Nancy …
Stargate SG1: The Tomb Season 5 Episode 8
SG1 is once again teamed with the Russians when they discover the remains of Russian cigarettes outside a temple on P2X-338. When they return to the SGC, General Hammond tells them that the Russians are coming to help them, although Jack would rather take his team and go …
Stargate Atlantis: Brain Storm
Stargate Atlantis: Brain Storm is a last season entry of this science fiction series, and it’s surprisingly intriguing. I’m very surprised that I enjoyed it as much as I did. As a rule, I don’t like this show. Through this episode, there have only been about …
Judge Joe Brown
In the afternoon there are a number of television shows that peek my interest. I enjoy watching shows that deal with law. There are a number of semi law shows. Judge Joe Brown is one of the more entertaining shows that are on in the afternoon. This …
Law and Order: CI Season 1, Episode 12
You might notice that the main guest star is this episode looks slightly familiar, and that’s because he once played the father on “Family Ties”. This is actually the first time the show utilized a special guest star similar to the other shows in the Law and Order franchise. …
Ghost Hunters TV Episode: Ghosts in the Attic
I don’t know, I just can’t get enthused about the show Ghost Hunters any more.
I’ve been practically begging them to go back to investigating private residences and they finally did last night. But, once again, they had a pretty limited amount of evidence. I think the only substantial thing …
iCarly TV Episode: I have My Principals
Synopsis: After making a guest appearance on Carly’s web show, her principal is fired and she puts together an effort to get him back.

The Andy Griffith Show: Opie the Birdman TV Show
The fourth season of the wonderful comedy series, The Andy Griffith Show, began on September 30, 1963 with a very nice show called Opie the Birdman. However, while I have watched this show several times over the years, it’s one I don’t watch as often as others. …
20 Most Horrifying Hollywood Murders
I was scrolling down TVguide.com this morning and came across the show 20 Most Horrifying Hollywood Murders on E! Since that sort of thing intrigues me, I figured I would give it a chance tonight.
It was an OK show but it wasn’t as good as I expected it to …
Futurama TV Episode: Fry and the Slurm Factory
My daughter and I took the time to watch a Futurama episode Tuesday night and ended up watching the Season 1 episode Fry and the Slurm Factory.
I had seen this one before (a long time ago) and this was the first time my daughter had watched it. Both of …
Jack Frost cartoon
Jack Frost was another vintage cartoon that I saw recently. Unfortunately, I wasn’t quite as enamored with it as I thought I might have been. I love all kinds of holiday films, and it wasn’t that the story wasn’t good as that it wasn’t as complete as …

Legend: Custer’s Next to Last Stand
Custer’s Next to Last Stand is the fourth episode of this Richard Dean Anderson futuristic western from May 1995. As many of the shows do, this one combines some realism with their fiction. As you can tell from the title, it’s George Custer who gets the honor …
Royal Palm Estate
“Royal Palm Estate” was a Jamaican soap opera from the nineties which used to be aired on Sunday evenings on the local channel CVM. I became a very big fan of the television series even though I was still too young to be watching those things. However, since there …
Chris Farley E! True Hollywood Story (E! network TV show)
Chris Farley was one of the most lovable Saturday Night Live characters of all time. I didn’t realize just how lonely and sad he actually was. This E! True Hollywood story really depicted the life behind the actor who was known for his crazy antics. …
Dancing with the Stars - AU: Top Six Perform TV Show
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to see the show from last week. I really love watching this Australian version of Dancing with the Stars, even though I don’t know the celebrities. With the music, costumes, and setup of this series, it’s been fun to catch. I just …
Justice League - Only a Dream, Part Two

Seven days Season 2 Episode 20
So for the episode 19 I wrote that is was really a ridiculous one, but this one is not far behind.
There’s this girl in Boston who can’t find a prom date so she invites the cutes guy in the school. She is a nerd so the boy refuses her …
The Flintstones
The Flintstones was one of my favourite cartoons when i was a kid. I loved watching it every day and I’m sure lots of other kids did too.
What i liked about it was the prehistoric setting. I think cave men and women will go down well with …
Another project TV show
This hit show has just started it’s 5th series on British TV. This has a British version as well called Project Catwalk, but the American one is the original and best.
This show lasts for 1 hour and without adverts is 44 minutes. It is being shown on Sky 1 …
CHiPs: Crack-Up
In CHiPs: Crack-Up, Jon is injured chasing a couple of drag racers. We get some good time angst for a few minutes while we wait to find out the results, like we didn’t know he’d pull through. I love this kind of stuff, though. All that …
Due South: Hunting Season
As Due South winds down, it gave us a storyline twist that really proved to be quite interesting. Due South: Hunting Season guest stars Jessica Steen as Constable Maggie MacKenzie who comes to Chicago for much the same reason as Constable Benton Fraser had, to track down a …

Friends Episode: Phoebe and Ursula Buffay
Remember Friends Episode: Phoebe and Ursula Buffay? Yes, these are twins and it is quite a unique idea for the writers to cast Phoebe having an ‘evil’ twin sister which is acted out by the same Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) and the dialogs are really spot-on, witty and really irritatingly …
