Have Gun - Will Travel: Pandora’s Box TV Show
From May 1962, Have Gun - Will Travel: Pandora’s Box was the 35th show of the fifth season for this Richard Boone western series. This outing had some politics to it and those aren’t usually shows I enjoy that much. Basically, Paladin (Boone) is asked to bring …

Scrubs: Our Histories
This episode was really trying to be like the early seasons, it had all the same elements, but I still find it lacking. Lucy is amicable enough and Cole is good for a laugh or two but there is still no real connection with any of these characters.

America’s Next Top Model cycle 14, courtesy of Tyra Banks
America’s Next Top Model is one of those shows I’m pretty ashamed to admit I find myself watching, and I can’t explain why I continue to watch it, other than the fact that it’s mindless drama. Even though it’s supposed to be a reality show, watching it for …
Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Belligerent Ghost TV Show

Pokemon (TV Show) - Clefairy and the Moonstone (Episode)

The Defenders: Pilot TV Show

A Man Called Hawk: The Divided Child
