M*A*S*H: The Army-Navy Game
I’ve always liked M*A*S*H: The Army-Navy Game, even though I’m not a football fan at all. While the military is focused on the annual football game between the Army and Navy, the 4077th is focused on something else completely — an unexploded bomb that is in the middle …

CSI Season 1 Episode 16 Too Tough to Die
I really loved this episode. I did not care much for the first case, not because it wasn’t interesting and not because it was not important, but because of all the emotional story behind in. I don’t like it when the writers write some extra sentimental or righteous scenes …
Entourage
I have always liked Mark Wahlberg so when I heard he was producing television show based on his life I was excited to see it.
Entourage delivers in more ways than one. Firstly it’s like a reality show but better, it’s peppy, fast and the dialogue is quick and …
Dateline NBC (tv show)
Dateline NBC has started doing weekly segments on internet predators, and I think its really interesting. They work with this internet predator sting company who has people act like they are thirteen year old females looking for relations with older men. The men then show up at …
Touching Evil: Attachment
Touching Evil: Attachment opens very dramatically with David Creegan remembering the farewell with his kids that happened towards the end of the last episode. I really hate the direction the show opted to go in. That said, it made for a bang of an opening.
Then we transition …
Star Trek: The Apple TV Show
Gene Roddenberry tackles Eden yet again in Star Trek: The Apple. The series creator seems to love to show that books shouldn’t be judged by their covers and that living easy isn’t necessarily living. Man never quite finds paradise in Star Trek.
Another red shirt goes down before …
Glee: TV Show
As many of you may know by now, Fox has a new TV show, called Glee. The first premiere was in 2009, after an American Idol episode.
I didn’t start watching Glee until a friend recommended it to me. Since we have different tastes, I was a little skeptic …

The Simpsons: The Burns and the Bees
Tonight was the first time I’ve seen the Simpsons episode “The Burns and the Bees” and, while it definitely had a unique plot to it, I have to say I was a bit disappointed in it as well.
The main plot was Lisa helps create a bee colony in an …
Gilmore Girls
Gilmore Girls is a Warner Brothers production about a mother and her daughter. I found the seasons of this show at the local library and instantly got hooked. The story lines are funny, heartwarming and at times heart wrenching.
Lorelei is quite a character. I do have to say around …
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 2.17: Ourselves Alone
Wow, prayers actually do get answered, or rather, episodes tend to usually get increasingly more and more interesting as the season finale approaches. With only six episodes left (including this one), it’s almost as if Season 2 has been holding out on us, saving all the good stuff for …
NCIS Los Angeles season 3 episode 2
Wow, what a great episode. This should have really been the first episode of the season, instead of the Romanian story they actually used in the first episode. It had all the ingredients to make an electrifying show.
In this episode, a wealthy software developer is kidnapped while exiting a …
CSI Season 5 Episode 7 Formalities
I have to say that this was one of the best episodes on the show. This was an excellent plot and really good writing. I kept guessing to the very end and did not know what to suspect. It was absolutely brilliant. I like it when the episode focus …

Big Train - Series One
Written by the minds behind Father Ted and the IT Crowd, this strange sketch show that first debuted in the late 90s might at first be a difficult one to get into.
Essentially, here we have a sketch show with a difference. The main difference being, the punch line …
Forever Knight tv series
As I was remembering the popular series “Renegade” recently, I also remembered the television series “Forever Knight” that used to air on local television around that same period of time.

Bones TV Episode: The Predator in the Pool
I’m not sure, but it really seems like the show Bones is starting to go downhill a bit ever since they insisted on focusing on Booth and Brennan as a potential couple.
Last night’s episode, The Predator in the Pool, didn’t do much to make me think otherwise either. While …
Stargate SG-1: Cor-ai
Continuing on with season one of Stargate SG-1, the episode entitled Cor-ai has some fine moments in it.
The one thing that has always confused me about this episode, though, is just why Jack O’Neill is so snarky with Daniel Jackson. The two, along with Sam Carter, spend the …
M*A*S*H: The Merchant of Korea
I enjoy watching M*A*S*H: The Merchant of Korea. It’s a fun show that is prompted by a letter to B.J. Hunnicutt (Mike Farrell) from his wife, telling him that land they’d always wanted is available for sale. She just needs him to send her $200. …
Simpsons Treehouse of Horror XIII
As far as the Simpsons Treehouse of Horrors episodes go, most of the later ones are kind of dumb and don’t really have a whole lot to do with Halloween. One of the few exceptions to this is Treehouse of Horrors XIII.
The first skit on the show, where Homer …

Sea Hunt: The Shark Cage TV Show
As respects Sea Hunt: The Shark Cage, I’ve seen this episode referred to as Underwater Prison as well. Since the names of shows aren’t included in the credits anywhere, I can’t say for sure which title is accurate. Regardless, the episode is a little disturbing in a …

Clean Sweep TV show
This television show is great. It is all about decluttering and rearranging, in order to make your house more useable.
In each episode, a couple or family is featured. They have a room or possibly two rroms that are completely useless, mostly because of clutter. In Clean Seep, the Clean …
Psych: Spellingg Bee
I’m inside today with a sick child and sick wife so I’m having a marathon of sorts by watching old Psych episodes. This included the season 1 episode “Spellingg Bee.”

Venture Bros.: Blood of the father, heart of steel
This episode picks up where the season finale left off…sort of. It isn’t told in chronological order, rather it’s shuffled up. The differences were so drastic that I was convinced that they were introducing a multiverse, with one being real and the other taking place in …
Season 2 Real Chance of Love
I am ashamed. But I will admit that I do watch VH1’s “Real Chance of Love” Season 2. This is just one of those programs that you say is really stupid. But you can’t help but to watch anyway. At any rate, these two …
