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 …
The Simpson’s: Barting Over
Our infant daughter took a while to fall asleep last night so I ended up sitting up with her and watched the late episode of The Simpson’s. It happened to be the one entitled “Barting Over.”
This one was somewhat funny. Bart discovers he made a commercial when he was …
The Virginian: The Golden Door
Early on in The Virginian: The Golden Door, Judge Henry Garth (Lee J. Cobb) gives his daughter “a nerve tonic” which instantly makes her feel better. I have to wonder what a western version of a nerve tonic is. That really has little to do with the …
24 Hour Restaurant Battle
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 …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Puppet Show
OK, wooden puppets are a bit creepy and after the movie Child’s Play, any doll that can talk makes me a bit nervous. So, I liked the concept behind the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “The Puppet Show.”
The school puts on a talent show and Buffy and her friends …
Style By Jury
In Style By Jury, a Torontonian reality television show, a “jury” that consists of different professionals (lawyers, doctors, prducers, etc), judge the appearance and overall imagine of a woman who appears on the show. Before appearing on the show, the woman is informed that she will appear on that …
Star Trek: Friday’s Child TV Show
Star Trek: Friday’s Child is one of those weird shows that I don’t really enjoy that much. Something about the characters don’t sit well with me, but I’m not sure what it is. Here are a few reactions to this show:
–I like that in the teaser we …
The Brightest Angel
This year, I surfed video on demand to try and find some holiday fare to watch. I just wasn’t satisfied with what I was finding on a daily basis. Maybe I just wanted to see something new here and there. One of the shows I stumbled …
The Next Food Network Star
I should have known that the reality TV contest world would benefit from a show in which the best amateur chef will become the next TV star. I would imagine that some of these people entered the competition merely because they want to get their foot in …
Cowboy Bebop, episode 5: Ballad of the Fallen angels
Tear drops of the fallen angels. Cries unheard by human ears and a case of the blues darker than any fairy tale. This is the darker side of Cowboy Bebop, episode 5: Ballad of the Fallen angels. Taking a key from the ring of Hollywood movies, “Ballad of the …
The Emperor’s New School: Show me the Monkey
As I think I mentioned before, I was afraid the new character Ramon would end up creating some stupid story lines that would make the show Emperor’s New School less entertaining than it was before. And, unfortunately, the episode “Show me the Monkey” was one of those episodes that …
Dancing with the Stars - Final Performance Show - 5/24/2010
My problem in the last few years with Dancing with the Stars is that the judges have favorites and they push for them. It’s a bit of selective visuals.
Here’s my current case in point. The last free dance performance of the night was Derek Hough and celebrity …
Alias Smith and Jones: Return to Devil’s Hole
Alias Smith and Jones: Return to Devil’s Hole continues the pattern in this first season of separating the two stars of this comical western series. They are together only at the beginning and at the end. As I’ve said before, that’s not a pattern I enjoy or …
A Scandal in Bohemia
I am reviewing A Scandal in Bohemia, a Sherlock Holmes adventure from the boxed set Adventure of Sherlock Holmes, produced in 1983 by Granada Television. This series stared Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes, and David Burke as Dr. John Watson. In this episode, Holmes is employed by …

Stargate SG-1: Revisions
I love Stargate SG-1: Revisions. It’s one of my favorites, and I really can’t tell you why, except I get a kick out of it. I love the little town where they filmed the show; it was so cute and quaint.
Actually, what I see Stargate SG-1: Revisions, …
The Secret Life of… TV show
The Secret Life of… is a show that comes on the Food Network on Monday nights at 10 pm/9 central. I love this show! What it is is the host, Jim, picks a topic and then we get to learn all about it! We learn about it’s history, how …
George Clooney on Ellen
Finally, after a long wait, I manage to watch George Clooney on Ellen. I don’t know if all of this was staged, but George certainly got that “shock” look on his face when he was brought by these 2 famous baseball players inside Ellen’s studio. Halfway through, George …

It’s an entertaining episode; there’s a lot going on and several regulars and recurring characters appear. All of the Seinfeld cast …
Cribs show
Cribs is a show on television that shows you celebrities or famous people’s houses. You would think that this would be a good show but I hate it. I thought it was a good idea at first but I generally don’t like the show.
The reason I don’t like …
That Girl: The Other Woman
That Girl: The Other Woman is another good episode from the second season of this hit ABC comedy. Ethel Merman makes her second appearance of the season. Though the first one was the best of the two, this one has its own character and flavor to it.

Have Gun - Will Travel: Bitter Wine
From season one, Have Gun - Will Travel: Bitter Wine opens with Paladin (Richard Boone) judging a wine contest. This continues the interesting dichotomy of the Paladin character. He’s a gunfighter for hire with sophisticated tastes and knowledge. I really think that seeing both sides of …
Stargate SG1: The Powers That Be
This episode begins with Vala irritating Mitchell instead of Daniel. Seems she has stolen a case file and has found that a Prior has visited a planet that she knows very well. She tells Cam they have to go there and talk the people out of joining …
Zach and Cody
Being a mother of 3 children, I almost always watch children’s television shows. This one is not one of my favorites, it consist of a spoiled and annoying rich hotel heiress to the tipton, who lives at the hotel unsupervised. Twin boys who could be no more opposite and …

The Ray Bradbury Theater: To the Chicago Abyss TV Show
From 1989, The Ray Bradbury Theater: To the Chicago Abyss concerns some future era when times are tough and food is precious. In fact, apparently very few are left who remember how life used to be, when everyone could go where they wanted and each fruits and vegetables.
I …
Time Trax: To Kill a Billionaire
Episode 2 from 1993’s Time Trax science fiction series is called To Kill a Billionaire.
The teaser was great. It had me very curious about this way of disposing of nuclear waste. The intrigue and innovation made me want to keep watching. Unfortunately, it’s not long before …
PBS KIDS Channel
TV is a all time favourite for everyone. But watching today’s shows with family is not a good idea. There are lot of shows that are not kid friendly and have a negative impact on kids. Not every channel has kids programmes and there is nothing much for toddlers to …
The X-Files Eve Episode
I watched the X-Files episode “Eve” at about three separate times. However I was unable to watch the episode fully until very recently. I wouldn’t call it my favorite episode of the popular 1990s American television series “The X-Files” but I think it was an interesting episode nonetheless because …
Tough Love Season 2
I watched the first season of Tough Love, and was a big impressed with the format. Tuning into the second season, Tough Love 2 has been just as entertaining. I was surprised, but maybe not so much that they brought back Taylor from the first season …
Sonic the Hedgehog
Is it any wonder why this show has lasted so long? During the early and mid nineties, there were actually two cartoon shows based off of Sonic the Hedgehog, who, around that time, had just had his second hit game on the SEGA genesis system. One was okay, but …
Bones TV Episode: The Witch in the Wardrobe
I kind of suspected all the hype about Kathy Reichs writing the script to last night’s episode of Bones, The Witch in the Wardrobe, would lead to some disappointment. And, I was right.
While an OK episode, this one actually was a bit weaker than expected and I just didn’t …
Being Erica

The Big Bang theory is in its second season and I have to say it is one of the funniest things on tv right now. I look forward every week to Monday nights. The Big Bang Theory is a sit-com about four incredibly smart nerds that have trouble interacting …
Throw Down with Bobby Flay
You know, I really don’t spend a great deal of time watching the Food Network on cable. But, after watching the show, Throw Down with Bobby Flay, I think I might find myself watching more often.
For those of you who haven’t seen the show, Flay is supposedly a famous …
The Two Coreys: Episode 2.6 - All You Need Is Love
This is a rather…awkward…episode. It actually borrows a little from one of the last season’s episodes involving romance and dating. Haim is having trouble approaching women and finding the right one - Ring a bell? Well that’s the case here… again.
It’s Valentine’s Day and while Haim is out …
Naruto Anime Series
Naruto is an anime series which revolves around the main character named Uzumaki Naruto and a world wherein ninjas rule and power is everywhere.
The first time I saw this anime, I was really enthralled by it. Shounen anime series such as Naruto really do interest me and the fact …
Adam 12 - Log 95: Purse Snatcher
Log 95: Purse Snatcher is the third episode from the third season of Adam-12, NBC’s hit police drama. Adam-12 is one of the shows that I refer to as Webb-TV, meaning it came from the mind of Jack Webb. It has a story to tell and it …
The Catherine Tate Show - First Series

Certainly, there’s more than a few going strong amongst notable comedy groups and the likes of Victoria Wood, Julie Walters, Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders have all brought us some downright fine entertainment over the years, but since Dawn and Jennifer …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Bearbait TV Show

Our New Girl Bro
JD’s gone for good. Interestingly enough, Elliot decides to come in and make an appearance. I’ve noticed that the writing for the returning cast is still pretty spot on, but it’s the new characters who kind of drag it down.
Ok, Lucy is pretty amicable and Cole is pretty …
Star Trek the Next Generation TV Episode: Hollow Pursuits
Last night, I was flipping through channels on TV and came across a Star Trek the Next Generation episode that is among my favorites from the series (at least of the ones I have actually watched); Hollow Pursuits.
