The Twilight Zone: Once Upon a Time TV Show
I just love The Twilight Zone: Once Upon a Time which feels like a wonderful change of pace, which seems odd to say about a science fiction series that goes all over the place in terms of style and story. However, much of this thirty-minute episode is done …
American Paranormal: Bigfoot documentary series

The X-Files Fight Club Episode
I thought this was one of the most memorable X-Files episodes. It guest starred a famous comedian Kathy Griffin, and it was the 159th episode of the television series. It was also the 20th episode of season 7 of “The X-Files”. It was memorable because I found that the …
Monk Season 3
The third season of Monk was a transitional period, and that’s why I had to rate it so low. Sharona was one of my favorite characters and in this season she ended up leaving the show. I heard that it was a contract dispute and some money problems, but …
Spongebob: Something Smells
I stayed home sick today and have spent all afternoon watching Spongebob Squarepants with my daughter. I got to see one episode I haven’t seen before “Something Smells” and will admit it was kind of cute; atleast compared to some of the other episodes of this show I’ve seen.
