Well, actually, …

Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed in this episode.
It starts out with Monk and Natalie standing in line …

My favorite scene in Adam-12: Eyewitness from season four is a segment with a dog. It’s a cute dog and in the show, he’s a seeing eye dog. I pretty much enjoy everything about this and the way Martin Milner as Officer Pete Malloy plays with him.
This …

From 1982, Tales of the Gold Monkey: Black Pearl deals with the building of a bomb by the Germans. It begins, though, with the finding of something unusual on the body of a dead native. The part actually gets bandied around from person to person, ending up …

This was not a bad season. So far, not my favorite, but definitely a good tie-in for what was done and what is to come. The fact that I continue to even watch Scrubs is proof enough that it is both clever, cute, and hilarious enough to win over …

On the surface, M*A*S*H: Patent 4077 doesn’t really seem like that much of a show, and yet it really has some strong moments in it that make you stop and go ‘wow’. It’s like the little episode that could.
The pop to this show concerns Margaret Houlihan’s wedding ring. …

It wasn’t one of the best episodes on the show. The themes were quite sad, but not every interesting. The show tells two stories.
In the first story, in a house is the suburbs. The whole family is death. A woman goes to check up on her little baby before …

Survivor Nicaragua: Glitter in Their Eyes was full of fire as events unfolded. There were also a lot of critical moves and, of course, a blind side. That’s what this TV Show is about more often than not, the surprise back stabbing. I’m pretty tired of …

Due South: Say Amen is a story that has been done before, in western genres and all other types of dramas. That said, it’s still fairly well done and is entertaining.
