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 …

While I appreciate USA Network trying to put a football theme behind it’s more popular shows this weekend in honor of the Super Bowl, I’m not sure the Monk episode “Mr. Monk Makes the Playoffs” is really all that good.
I’m not sure what exactly the problem was but I …

I am generally not a fan of zombie movies because they’re ususally very low budget and very terrible. Infact I can count on one hand how many zombie movies I’ve actually liked. The “Walking Dead” is different since not only is it the 1st zombie television series I’ve seen, …

For me, The Twilight Zone: Sounds and Silences is simply a grating and annoying experience, much like the main character the story surrounds. John McGiver does a nice job as Roswell G. Flemington, a man who loves noise and doesn’t care that he’s perceived as being obnoxious by …

Touching Evil: Slash 30 was the first episode of this series that I really didn’t enjoy much at all, and I believe the reason why is that it is the first one that was very soap opera-ish. Where dramatic shows often go wrong is when they try to …

I don’t really remember watching this show, Columbo: Last Salute to the Commodore, but I’m sure I did. It’s just fallen out of my brain, and I believe the reason for that is that it’s quite possibly the worst episode of Columbo ever. It’s dull, not just …

I can’t wait until the premiere of Dancing With The Stars March 22, 2010, so I can see Pamela Anderson dance. I’m pretty sure a lot of people who usually wouldn’t watch the show will tune in this season just to see how skimpy Pamela’s costumes will be. …
