I have always been afraid of sharks, and despite the interviews …

The standout story in Adam-12: Day Watch features George Murdock as the owner of a service station whose been robbed. He’s the prejudiced type with a quick temper. It’s actually an interesting case study of how anger makes a situation worse. It’s Murdock’s own stupidity that …

Hey, look at that. I came across back-to-back Simpsons episodes tonight and they were both Christmas related.
“Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire” is by far my favorite though. For those of you who don’t understand the history of the show, this is the very first Simpsons episode (after it …

The ninth show from the final season, Stargate Atlantis: Tracker begins with Ronon (Jason Momoa) and Rodney McKay (David Hewlett) looking for Jennifer Keller (Jewel Straite), who apparently has been kidnapped by a wraith runner. My comments and reactions are below.
–Rodney running for his life like a scared …

Jewelry T.V. or ACNtv.com has been on the air for about twelve years, and I have used their station to buy far too much jewelry, but, I love everything I get! What I want to give my review on, is WHEN to buy on this station.
Jewelry t.v. has two …

Friends Episode: The One Where Joey Is Turning Into a Woman is totally hilarious and really awesome. I laugh so hard whenever I watch this. Seems that Joey is picking up a fuss over little things when this tall and blonde, beautiful lady becomes his room-mate and he …

I had our youngest daughter to myself over the weekend while my wife and oldest daughter went out birthday shopping for me. Since I didn’t have a lot I could do while watching her, I ended up watching a movie on the Fox Movie Network.
The film I ended up …

Dan Sick was the 38th episode of Highway Patrol’s third season, and it focused on Chief Dan Mathews, as played by Broderick Crawford, becoming ill quite suddenly. Though I have issues with how the show proceeded in spots, it was actually an enjoyable half hour that had me interested …

“The Terminator Decoupling” is the episode of The Big Bang Theory originally airing on CBS on March 9, 2009. This episode was saved by great chemistry (over the telephone) between Sheldon and Penny. The rest of the episode was light on laughs.
Pros: Sheldon was featured in …

I have always found the appeal of Ghost Whisperer puzzling. The fifth season will premier on September 25, 2009. Melinda Gordon (Jennifer Love Hewitt) has the ability to see and talk to ghosts, and she uses this ability to bring closure to the ghosts so that they will cross …

Always Sunny is probably one of the best shows I have ever seen and if you love comedy then you should look into season 1 on DVD because it is just $40 and it comes along with season 2 in the set. This may sound like a great deal …

Desperate Housewives Season 5 Episode 19 is basically about flashbacks of the housewives on Edie’s lives. How she ironically sort of gave them another perspective to hold on to.
These memories are of Edie on how the wives individually encounter with Edie. They are all in the …

Come Dine With Me is one of those TV shows that I originally would have run a mile to get away from, but which I am slowly finding myself being drawn into. The setup is really pretty simple, in that a small group of chefs (amateur ones rather than …

I thought this episode was really interesting, just from the point of view of the human drama of it. I don’t know if the investigation was really that interesting or exciting. I do know for sure that the acting like a Russian part did not go well. It was …

My wife and I are big Ghost Hunters fans so we decided to rent the first season of the show; starting with the first three episodes last night.
The first one, Altoona Tantrum, is a pretty decent episode because you get a feel for the major players in the series, …

I am a big fan of comics and their characters and cartoon shows. Batman is a character created by DC comics and there have been so many cartoon versions of this simple superhero. One of my favourite versions is a recent one named “The Batman.” This story unfolds little …

The latest episode of Orchestra United to come out was pretty interesting. This is the reality series that is following conductor James Lowe as he brings together students to participate in an orchestra with the ultimate goal of having them perform at the Bridgwater Theater. The series …

I am watching “Are you smarter than a fifth grader” from the beginning of the season, and I have to say that it is a fun show to watch. It looks funny, when a grown up guy falls into the traps of very easy questions, which little children can …

Well, I survived the season premiere of Project Runway and noticed there was a different show on right after, Models of the Runway. Since our infant daughter was wide awake still, i took the time to watch it too.
This was something a bit different. Basically, it is a half …

Stargate SG-1: Seth is another episode that some of the actors of the series thought was pretty bad. The whole premise seemed weak to them, the idea of a Goa’uld still living on Earth and having achieved nothing but a tiny cult like following seeming ludicrous. Still, …

Gareth Malone Goes to Glyndebourne: Part 2 continues to show the choir master’s latest challenge which is to put together a teenage choir to perform an opera on stage. He has six weeks. I haven’t seen part 1 yet, but apparently, he screened 450 students and brought …

Oh, how easily things get complicated on this show. That is nerve wrecking and fantastic. On one hand you just want this nightmare to be over, on the other, you don’t want their troubles to ever stop.
After making their escape from the motel and kidnapping the cameraman, Michael, Lincoln …

Im quite a fan of Paddie McGuiness, he is a funny man and that’s what made me give the show that he presents, Take Me Out a chance. It’s essentially a modern day version of Blind Date, only this time there is no blind aspect and a lot more …

Star Trek: The Man Trap has never been one of my favorite episodes. It’s an early episode from the first season, but I think it’s the romance angle that didn’t appeal to me.
Here’s what I like and don’t like about this 1966 show.
–They mystique is gone quickly as …

The show opened with the strange death of an inventor named Calvin. While under water, he was essentially put …

I have been very disappointed with the Simpsons series lately. Last night’s episode “G.I.” did redeem them a little bit.
The episode, which had Homer enlisting in the Army only to be hunted down as part of a war games exercise, brought the show back to its political satire roots.
It …

Niko was the 17th episode from the fourth year of the underwater adventure series, Sea Hunt, which starred Lloyd Bridges as expert skin diver, Mike Nelson. The drama starts out very early in this show when Nelson and his partner, Frank Judd (played by Lane Bradford) discover two …

I have heard about the Psych episode American Duos ever since it first aired some time ago. But, for some reason, I have never had an opportunity to actually watch it. So, when I discovered they had the second season of this show available on our Netflix Instant Watch, …

I don’t know why it appeals to me so much, but Starhunter is one of my favorite TV shows. Sure it is low-budget, nor does it have the greatest acting in the world, but there is a certain charm and appeal to the show nonetheless. Thus I …

The Pilot episode of Supernatural sets the scenes for everything that will come in the show as well as laying the foundation for the mythology of the show. We are first introduced to Sam, a regular college student who loves his girlfriend Jess and plans on attending law school …

After a little bit more comedy at Naruto’s expense, episode 6 finally provides what all the previous episodes have been pointing towards: real, dangerous, action. And this episode did a superb job of introducing the action. There is enough explanatory dialog to keep the story going strong without confusing …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Episode in Laredo is the second episode of the third season for this western series and it’s pretty darn melancholy. It’s different in its outlook, but I found myself wondering why I was even watching it.
Basically, Paladin ends up killing Sid Kovac (Alan …

Star Trek: Metamorphosis isn’t in my top favorites, but it is a solid episode that gives us some history as well. The premise is that a shuttle from the Enterprise is heading back to the ship after picking up a rather opinionated and ungrateful Ambassador Nancy Hedford (Elinor …

The first scene of the episode was great as far as letting the watcher know what the premise of the story is and gives a great pipe in for the turning plot. Two curious kids, a gas station, and monsters are a great way to start a scary …

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:
–I love the magic of the …

I just love this programme and I am eagerly awaiting to hear whether it is back on again this Autumn. Normally the new series starts about this time, and I have watched every series since the beginning.
Not only do I really enjoy this programme so does my son. …

I don’t know what Geico ad man came up with the idea of the talking gecko, but I can tell you, for certain, that nothing gets me to switch a channel faster than seeing another one of these insipid commercials.
Maybe it’s the thick Cockney accent of this loquacious reptile …

While this episode of Psych wasn’t quite as good as many others, I will admit Lights, Camera, Homicidio was a cute one.
Shawn is on site at a Latin soap opera trying to solve a murder and ends up joining the cast of the show. His role was actually …

After using Shaw Digital Cable for the past year, we were offered a great rate to switch to Telus Digital Cable. Seeing as our phone, long distance and internet are already contracted onto Telus for another three years, we decided to add the Digital Cable package as well.
So far, …

Due South: Mountie and Soul doesn’t begin promisingly for me. I don’t like boxing, and the story begins with Fraser, the Vecchio replacement, and Francesca at a boxing ring. Too much of these stories are being focused on this newcomer, Callum Keith Rennie, as the Vecchio replacement …

In the summer of 2010, I came across a few friends who kept talking about a show called Supernatural. At this point, the series was into it’s fifth season. So I decided to wait it out, and start watching the seasons one by one.
In June, I began watching …
