Judge Piers Morgan stated that the America’s Got Talent: Semi-Finals was a lackluster semi-final for the most part, and I agree, but the judges did this. Their picks this year have been pretty bad. I don’t get why they put forward two thirds of the acts that …

The topic of Max Headroom: Lessons has to do in part with censorship, including the use of profanity. Now that’s a still relevant issue that continues to be controversial in our true reality.
This half-hour program, which to me is both a comedy and a drama due its mix …

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 …

Wagon Train: Little Girl Lost is a story from the final season of Wagon Train. It’s a little unusual for a western to have this type of story. I think it was perhaps their strange attempt at a Christmas tale since the story aired in Mid-December of …

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 …

I really enjoy watching the History Channel’s Ice Road Truckers series, especially this season. I think one of the reasons is that there is a little less emphasis on Hugh Rowland, known as the polar bear. His ridiculous and near constant use of profanity just turns me …

OK, I watch Clean House on a regular basis only because my wife makes me. But, I will admit, watching other people and their messes really makes me feel a bit better about my slightly messy home.
I have to say though the house on their Messiest House Contest 2 …

More or less continuing what began in Trials and Tribble-ations An Historic Endeavor, the Trials and Tribble-ations Uniting Two Legends featurette takes fans deeper into how exactly the magic that brought together the past of Star Trek with the current time Star Trek: Deep Space 9. The reason …

Stargate SG-1: Avalon Part 2 is the second episode of season nine, a season I’d just as soon forget, with a handful of exceptions.
Mainly, this episode continues the ridiculous plot of Daniel and Vala being linked because of these bracelets that she found. Neither can stay too far …

I have to admit that I wasn’t sure about whether I would like this little show. Other cable series have shown that shock value is all the rage. Programs like “The Carnivale”, “Six Feet Under”, “Weeds,” and even “Sex and the City” have groomed the viewer …

I love it when Diagnosis Murder begins with a fun scene, like Mark Sloan rolling in on his skates, and then going right into rounds with the medical students. This is episode nine, The Restless Remains. Things get a bit crazy though when Mark has a visit …

Well, after fighting the kids to bed last night, I was able to tune in to watch the new episode of Psych called Chivalry is Not Dead, But Someone Is.
Perhaps I was a bit tired. But, for some reason, I honestly did not enjoy this one as much as …

Weird is weird and that’s pretty much how I feel about The Ray Bradbury Theater: Touched with Fire despite the fact that it has a guest cast that includes Barry More and Eileen Brennan. Basically the plot of this August 1990 science fiction outing has two aging and …

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: The Killer is not my kind of show with the animal hunting theme. It is not entertainment to me to see this stuff, which is why I don’t watch the cable channels with a focus on animals. I’m not interested in seeing …

From what I’ve read, this episode was critically lambasted. To its credit, the episode does have some strong ideas behind it, but the execution of it ends up doing the plot a disservice. There are several instances where astronauts have reported seeing something out in space during …

Airing in September 1987, Max Headroom: Deities brings on the religious angle for those living in the Age of Video, which is when this series takes place. The set up is that the View Age church is getting too popular and will surpass catholics and 700 Club in …

I’m really not sure what to say about Sable: Mob. It …

If House were a medical drama I wouldn’t be interested in watching it, and if it were a typical soap opera type show I wouldn’t care either. I have never been interested in formulaic television. House has a formula in some shows, but the formula isn’t the show it …

When I was growing up, my family never missed an episode of the television series Battlestar Galactica (the original series not the remake). But, because I would have been about three when it first aired, I had no memory of the first episode “Saga of a Star World” so …

What separates Banana Split from other sitcoms in the Philippines is the number of girls (and how fresh they are) in the casting. Actually, Banana Split boasts of an all-girls cast which would keep your eyes glued to the television.
Girls seem to be a staple in every sitcom. …
