American Idol
Oh no, I see ads for American Idol on TV again. Well, I guess it’s time to start renting more than one movie at a time from Netflix again.
Up until season 4 of the show, I was a regular viewer. But, after Carrie Underwood beat Bo Bice for the …
Dead Set show
Charlie Brooker turns his talents to drama with Dead Set; a five part miniseries chronicling a zombie outbreak in modern day Britain, all revolving around the Big Brother house, it’s housemates and the few surviving production staff.
It’s a pretty strong show to be honest. Well shot, well cast …
That Girl - Season One DVD set
Shout Factory produced the That Girl DVDs, beginning with this season one set. It’s a great set, but what I don’t like is the way the DVDs are organized. The DVDs are placed in one, long jacket. You open it and then have to open it …

Supernatural Season 4
I’ve been a die-hard fan of Supernatural for four years now, watching it religiously since it first started in 2005.

While the story has since deviated from the original premise, delving deeper into the characters’ lives over the …

Batman: The Brave and the Bold: Dawn of the Dead Man!
The cold open features Batman fighting rat creatures in the future with Kamandi. At first I was perplexed, but if I recall correctly, the episode where he goes to the future ends with him still in the future so this picks up where that left.
After the credits we …

CSI: New York Damned If You Do TV Show

Gilligan’s Island - Water, Water Everywhere TV Episode
