The first scene with the lawn work and pool maintenance …

OK, I have to say last night’s episode of Family Guy was a bit corny but still somewhat interesting.
The episode “Long John Peter” kind of stretched things a bit too far in my opinion with Peter getting a parrot and then deciding he wanted to be a pirate. This …

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 …

Ellen is your typical …

Code Monkeys is a light-hearted TV shown on the G4 channel that parodies video-gaming and nerd culture in general. I like the show because of its indecision as to what kind of humor it portrays. At one minute it will be making poop jokes and underarm farts, while at …
