American Idol - elimination 3/18/09
Tonight was the big elimination where another contestant’s dream of being the American Idol came to an end. Before that happened, all kinds of other stuff happened first. It was Country Week, which the singers all performing country songs, except for Adam Lambert, who did his own …
CSI Season 5 Episode 15- King Baby
I don’t know if I love this episode or just weirded out by it. One way or another, this was a great plot and a good example of great writing. I really loved it because it was so unusual, both the case and the circumstances. And maybe it was …
Louis, Martin & Michael (2003) TV
In this particular documentary from Louis Theroux, we see him attempting to bag an interview with Michael Jackson, which he never does because Michael gave his exclusive interview to Martin Bashir instead. We all know how badly that turned out. Ironically, Michael had wanted someone who would …
American Idol - Week 1 Results Show
The American Idol - Week 1 Results Show had some nice moments in it, along with a few things that just aren’t my style. On the latter side was a performance by Kanye West. I just don’t like the guy. He has a prima dona attitude …
Sea Hunt: Flooded Mine TV Show
I love the beginning of Sea Hunt: Flooded Mine because it starts out lightheartedly with diving expert Mike Nelson playing with a sea lion. We see the creature doing somersaults and just being a load of fun. That’s the reason for watching this series in my opinion, …
Hawaii Five-O: Tiger by the Tail
Hawaii Five-O: Tiger by the Tail begins with a young singer performing in a nightclub. Then he gets kidnapped right after the show. The execution of this scene was pretty lame, even for the era. It’s not the plot; it’s just how it was directed …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Homecoming
Sometimes, when you have a television series that has a serial plot-line, you end up with a somewhat weak episode that is primarily meant to introduce new plot points for the season.
The Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode, “Homecoming” fits this description.
The whole Buffy versus Cordelia for homecoming queen thing …
South Park: The “F” word
This episode was definitely interesting. A bunch of bikers invade the town and make it impossible for anyone to enjoy what they’re doing. At first it seemed like it was going to get repetitive and old, with the bikers trying to make more and more noise in …
Once Upon A Time TV Series
Every Sunday I have to be front and center at eight o’ clock on ABC. Why? Because the television series Once Upon A Time airs during that time.
I think I was like everyone else who loved the promo for the new series, but was not sure how to …
Seven days Season 2 Episode 14
The episode starts with the scene in which we see Parker talking to himself, but there are actually two Parkers, one is eating the chicken and drinking beer and the other tells him that the bubbles in the beer are going upside down and that his addition to the …

M*A*S*H: Where There’s a Will, There’s a War
M*A*S*H: Where There’s a Will, There’s a War is a very good episode. The action begins when Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) is sent to the front lines to help out. The kink in this armor is that it was B.J. Hunnicutt’s (Mike Farrell) turn to go, but …
Life on Mars season 1 Episode 8 Take a Look at the Lawmen
Ruben wants to jump from a building and kill himself because he has invented a personal phone that you can carry around and the investment failed. Everyone thinks that the idea is silly but Sam says to Ruben that he is ahead of his time because in future all …
CBC
if you’re a Canadian, then chances are that you’ve heard of cc. It’s basically the “official” TV network in Canada. Since my house has a limited amount of TV channels, I’ve had to resort to going on CBC quite a few times when other channels were showing boring shows. …

Scrubs The Complete Seventh Season
This was not a bad season. So far, not my favorite, but definitely a good tie-in for what was done and what is to come. The fact that I continue to even watch Scrubs is proof enough that it is both clever, cute, and hilarious enough to win over …

Cosby Show
If you are looking for a great way to pass a few hours, either go to your local library or find some reruns of the cosby show. This is one of the best television shows to ever be aired on television, it had humor, romance, kids, rich people and …
Biggest Loser show
The show started out with the contestants getting a make-over and then appearing live on the Tyra Banks show. This show must not have aired yet, otherwise everyone would already know who the final five contestants were. Therefore, I was confused by the whole “live” thing. …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Justice in Hell TV Show
I honestly thought I’d reviewed this already because I remember seeing the rerun not long ago, but maybe I was interrupted as I don’t see it, so here we go. The show in question is called Justice in Hell, which was from the fifth season of Have Gun …
Law and Order SVU Season 1 Episode 1- Payback
Law and Order SVU Season 1 Episode 1- Payback

Smallville: Salvation TV Show
Smallville: Salvation was the 2010 season finale. This show received a surprising renewal which led to this finale and to what will take place next season. As a fan of Michael Shanks, I’m ecstatic. The Justice League which was brought back into play in an earlier …
House: House Training
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 …
Friends Episode: Phoebe and Ursula Buffay
Remember Friends Episode: Phoebe and Ursula Buffay? Yes, these are twins and it is quite a unique idea for the writers to cast Phoebe having an ‘evil’ twin sister which is acted out by the same Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) and the dialogs are really spot-on, witty and really irritatingly …
Kekkaishi Episode 5 (Anime)
Kekkaishi Episode 5 has Yoshimori confronting the ghost of a pastry chief who won’t pass on to the next world.

Home Improvement A TV Sitcome

Top Gear tv show
I have been watching the TV show “top gear” for a while now and it is one of my favorite shows on TV. Even if you aren’t interested in cars or racing you can be entertained by this show. Most car shows on TV are very factual and …
The Simpsons: Homer the Whopper
One of the shows we ended up watching Sunday night was the Simpson’s season premiere “Homer the Whopper.”
This one wasn’t too bad of an episode even though I do think the newer episodes just don’t seem to live up to the older ones. Homer gets a chance to play …
Saving Grace
Think “Touched by an Angel” and an even edgier “NYPD Blue” - and you’ve sort of got the idea. I’ve always been a Holly Hunter fan - so I was happy to see her in primetime (TNT).
I could have done without the …

British series cartoon animation titled Those Scurvy Rascals is something that I always am able to catch in Kids Central Channel, in my country. It is so darn funny and these pirates are really getting on my funny nerves. My nieces and nephews all love this cartoon as …
Project Runway Australia
I enjoy watching Project Runway US, especially when I hear the designers bitch about each other. I use to think they were vicious, until I watched an episode of Project Runway Australia. I like the setting of this Australian version; they stitch and bitch in Melbourne, Australia, a beautiful …
Dr. Who: Rose
Sci Fi re-made the television show Dr. Who some time ago but I’ve never had time to watch the first episodes of it and, because I had no idea what was going on, never watched the later ones either.
Tonight I had a chance to watch the very first Dr. …
Whoopi: Smoke Gets in Your Eyes TV Show
Whoopi: Smoke Gets in Your Eyes has Mavis Rae (Whoopi Goldberg) eager to get some hockey tickets for a couple of New York Rangers games. One of the early funny bits that I had to laugh at was how her handyman, Nasim (Omid Djalili), tried to get her …
Bored to Death Season 1 Episode 1
I have to say that the episode and the TV show itself really exceeded my expectations. The only reason why I watched it, was the name of the show- Bored to Death. It seemed so strange and unusual; I got really curious and just had to take a …

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 …

Make Me a Super Model (Episode 6)
Every week I watch Make Me a Super Model, I have to ask myself exactly where they found the women in this competition. They are all pretty but none seem to be super model material. The male contestants have simply dominated this show.
