The Simpsons: Season 16, Episode 1 - Treehouse of Horror XV
Another installment in The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror specials, the episode begins with “Keeping it Kodos”, a bit similar to a ’90s sitcom complete with an audience laugh track. It continues onto its first story “The Ned Zone”, where Ned has received a concussion as a result and …
Law and Order: CI Season 1, Episode 16

Stargate SG-1: 48 Hours
I do enjoy Stargate SG-1: 48 Hours, but it’s one more Earth-based story, and it’s yet another one where the team is divided up. One misses the vintage years when SG-1 went exploring, and they were truly a team.
Here, Teal’c finally gets his revenge. Let’s all cheer! …
Smallville : Requiem
A lot happened in this episode of Smallville, and some of it will be good for the show, but I don’t know that I cared much for it as a singular episode. In this episode Lana and Clark have gotten together and are destroying beds. Lana has superpowers …
Diagnosis Murder: Nirvana TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: Nirvana isn’t really a favorite episode of this series for me, but it still has some good moments. Dick Van Dyke is so good that he takes the mediocre and makes it worth watching. In this first season outing, Van Dyke’s Dr. Mark Sloan checks …
Art Attack
I am a workingwomen and I get very less time to watch the TV at home. But still I have some favourite programmes of mine. Such as the cartoon shows and some movies, I also love to watch some serials, which are telecasted especially on weekends. …
Chuck season 2 episode 4 Chuck Versus the Cougars
This was an episode that kind a wanted to present agent Sarah as a person with a past not just as this insensitive government agent. Unfortunately they couldn’t get me interested in her and I find the story kind a superficial.
We see a girl returning home and seeing police …
Stargate SG-1: Children of the Gods - final cut DVD
The Stargate SG-1: Children of the Gods - final cut has three things going for it, and just three things.
First, since this final cut has yet to be aired on television, unless you’ve ripped it off some illegal torrent somewhere, buying the DVD has been the only way of …
Inside Edition TV Show
Inside Edition is like picking up an issue of The National Enquirer at the supermarket or some other tabloid. It is purely tabloid TV. Anyone who thinks they have an alien baby, has seen a flying saucer, or dog can speak Chinese will be on this show. Despite the …
Family Guy - And Then There Were Fewer
While Season 8 left us Family Guy fans with some great episodes, there were a few that left something to be desired, so I was really looking forward to the first episode of Season 9. I was waiting to be Wowed. …

The Andy Griffith Show: The Beauty Contest

Dead Like Me: Sunday Mornings
Dead Like Me: Sunday Mornings showed how JD the golden retriever was adjusting to life with the Lass family. It was their first semi-normal moment since the series began. I’m still worried about the dog, and it’s distracting me from the rest of the show.
A.J. Cook guest …

Rob and Big MTV show
The other day I was watching mtv and this show came on. I watched a couple episodes of it. It’s a lot better than I thought it was going to be. I just kind of ended up watching it because I was bored. Now I watch it whenever I …
The Caped Crusader Caper
Like I mentioned in another review, my daughter and I were watching older Scooby Doo episodes last night that featured them teaming up with Batman and Robin.

Dexter
I discovered Dexter the television series when I was in the United States for training when my officemate cajoled me into watching it with her. I was a bit curious when she told me that this was about a serial killer of serial killers. And so I sat down …

Spongebob Squarepants: Atlantis SquarePantis
My daughter loves watching Spongebob Squarepants. So, when we found out there was a television movie coming out called Atlantis SquarePantis, we made sure to watch it. Overall, it was an OK show but really wasn�t anything special.

American Idol - 3/17/09
Another week of musical performances, and I’m going to start with Adam Lambert. Now, the guy can sing, but it’s Country Week. I don’t really care that he wanted to be true to himself and who he is. It’s Country week, so sing country. It …

The Young And The Restless
The Young and The Restless has been in the 11 am time slot on CBS in my location as long as I can remember. While it’s a good show to those that like it, I find it rather dull, and increasingly confusing. The story lines aren’t something that make …
24 Season 7
The conclusion of 24 Season 7 was aired last Tuesday and I couldn’t help but be sad about this. For the past four months, I have been religiously watching and anticipating each episode over the Internet since the Television premier is about two months late.
Unlike the first …
Biography Channel
I just love this channel! Actually this is a new additional channel from our cable television service provider. At first, I thought it was a quite boring channel because I had the idea that it only shows people in the past and, what do I …
TV Doctor Who-Inferno
The final series of season eight of Doctor Who and is a series that never, ever grabbed me. It just seems like a four part episode dragged out to seven parts. And I don’t mean a GOOD four part episode, either.
Trying to figure out a way to fix The …

Ugly Betty TV show
This TV show just rocks my world. I don’t really like watching people get embarrassed on TV, even though I know it’s not happening to them in real life. But this show just makes me want to watch until Betty gets her revenge by being smart. This show actually …
That 70s Show: Battle of the Sexists
Should girls be able to beat boys at sports? That was the central theme of the That 70s Show episode “Battle of the Sexists,” and I have to admit, it really made an interesting point about the way we view opposite genders.
The episode is based on the fact Donna can …
Tosh.0 tv show
After trying to watch Tosh.0 quite a few times, I am still truly baffled as to how this guy who hosts it got his own show. Now, I have absolutely nothing against the comedian who hosts it, but I remember when the first season premiere was advertising I thought …

Star Trek: The Lorelei Signal TV Show

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 2.10
Funny how the previous episode was titled “Complications” when in this one, things do nothing but get even more complicated, for better or worse? I’m not quite sure. Sarah’s obsession with the three dot symbol from the basement is further explored here for the most part. She comes across …
