This was the latest episode of CSI: las vegas. I enjoyed it for the most part. Here lately they haven’t been having very many good episodes at all. There have only been a couple of good episodes ever since Grissom left. This one and “miscarriage of justice” was good …

While it’s cute enough, I’ve never really liked That Girl: Kimono My House all that much. I can’t really point out any special reason why it’s not a favorite, but that’s just the way I feel about it.
Apparently, Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) goes to Don Hollinger’s (Ted Bessell) …

Stargate: Infinity: The Face of Evil opens with more action between Major Gus Bonner’s team and their number one enemy. It’s the same race they’ve fought from the very first episode. Frankly, I’m not fond of this evil race or the shows in which they are featured.
The …

My youngest daughter was up extremely early this morning (probably thinking today was Christmas morning or something). So, we ended up watching early morning television. Not wanting an infomerical, I put on Happy Days and watched the episode entitled Howdy Doody.
I’m too young to remember the Howdy Doody show …

The show is over. Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 22 — The Wedding is the final episode of this navy drama. The sad part is that no one knew that at the time of the taping. Therefore, it has that typical cliffhanger ending that would never be …

CSI without the Gil Grissom character just isn’t CSI, but the show is still plugging along. It’s not that it’s bad, it just lacks the zip and zest that Grissom injected into the action. Still, the March 5, 2009 episode called “Turn, Turn, Turn” was intriguing and …

I love this device. I waited for Canada to have an equivalent to TIVo and now that we do, I would never go back to normal television.
I love pausing and rewinding, recording my favourite shows and having both televisions hooked up to only one receiver (via UHF remote) is …

With the lack of funny shows on television, I sometimes have to go back a few years in time and rely heavily on re-runs of shows from the 80s and 90s.

One of our channels had a mini Monk marathon on yesterday morning and, while our daughter was napping, I had an opportunity to watch some of it.
One of the episodes, Mr. Monk and the Naked Man, was pretty funny.
Basically, there is a murder on a clothing optional beach (which …

Episode Three of Dexter was really fun, just like the previous two. The show is so well written that I don’t think there is ever going to be a bad review of an episode. This episode for a little different, since we got to see a bit more of …

CSI Season 4 Episode 3- Homebodies

Grissom and …

The Twilight Zone: The Midnight Sun is a neat little outing for this series, mostly because of the terrific twist that takes place at the end. I don’t watch this one a lot so if enough time has gone by, sometimes I forget and end up being surprised.
