I love this device. I waited for Canada to have an equivalent to TIVo and now that we do, I would never go back to normal television.
I love pausing and rewinding, recording my favourite shows and having both televisions hooked up to only one receiver (via UHF remote) is …

Modeling shows are fascinating to me because I like to see regular people showcasing their ability to become really fashionable. And I think that a lot of people have the potential to be great models. So in that sense, these reality shows are quite helpful. …

Having always been a fan of most true crime dramas on the former Court TV, which of course is now known as Tru TV, I immediately liked the show “Cold Case Files” when it aired on CBS.
The show revolves around Detective Lilly Rush, played by Kathryn Morris, her boss, …

Kathy Griffin My life on the D list is a show featured on the cable station Bravo. While there are so many reality shows on Tv,for some reason this one is refreshing as it has many minutes of stand up which is what she does. It is …

I really enjoy the opening of Laramie: The Stranger , a fourth year episode of this superb western series that stars John Smith as Slim Sherman and, my favorite, Robert Fuller as Jess Harper. The two are partners and co-owners of the Sherman Ranch and Relay Station in …

Kathryn Hays was awesome in Star Trek: The Empath where she plays Gem. Hays has those big eyes; they were perfect for this role. She’s been on many shows over the years, but is best know probably for being on As The World Turns for the last …

We started watching some more season 1 episodes of the show Ghost Hunters last night, starting with one called “The Armory.” I didn’t see much in terms of actual ghosts but it was definitely an interesting one.
This one had them visiting a military armory that was supposed to be …

I enjoy ‘How Clean is your House?’ mainly because I find it very motivating when it comes to cleaning my own house. In each episodes, the team visits what the voice-over man calls a ‘filth offender’, someone living in a revoltingly dirty house. Although you or I …

MacGyver: The Enemy Within makes me chuckle, not from the show, but how the same names are used for episodes. Richard Dean Anderson would be in another episode called The Enemy Within about ten years after this one, when he starred in Stargate SG-1.
In this episode of MacGyver, …

I got home about 5:30 yesterday evening and decided to put on a re-run of That 70s Show while waiting for the Simpsons to come on. It turned out that re-run was one of the funniest episodes from any series that I have ever seen.
The episode, called Street Fighting …

From February 1982, The Fall Guy: Ladies on the Ropes is one I’d just rather forget to be honest. There are some shows where either the topic or just the theme in which a story is placed doesn’t excite men, and this is definitely one of those.
Basically, Bail …

I consider Remington Steele: In the Steele of the Night to be a miniaturized version of Murder By Death. We have Laura Holt and Murphy Michaels headed to an old friend’s lavish estate for a reunion. These folks apparently all used to work together at the same …

In this particular documentary from Louis Theroux, we see him attempting to bag an interview with Michael Jackson, which he never does because Michael gave his exclusive interview to Martin Bashir instead. We all know how badly that turned out. Ironically, Michael had wanted someone who would …

The Virginian: Run Away Home is the second show I’ve noticed that was redone several years later as an episode of Alias Smith and Jones (ASAJ), which was a favorite show of mine, called The Girl in Boxcar #3. I recall an article done during that time that …

Well now, I have to admit, there are very few shows that are as brave as the show Family Guy. The episode I watched tonight “I dream of Jesus” proves just how far this show will go to get a laugh.
OK, they’ve had other episodes that have shown Jesus …

From a Jack Dalton episode to another Penny Parker episode. I miss the days when MacGyver was doing exotic assignments overseas. In this fourth season episode, Cleo Rocks, MacGyver has been invited to the premier of Penny’s new play. It’s her first real job as an …

I am a fan or the true blood series and have seen every episode and I have also read all of the books. I do like the plot of the show but I often feel the creators are trying to make each episode a little more unsettling …

America’s Next Top Model is a show where young women compete to be America’s Next Top Model. The complete challenges relating to modeling every week and then face a judging panel which kicks one of them out.
I really enjoy this show and it’s for many reasons.
Firstly I didn’t …

Hmm, I ended up staying up a bit later than normal to watch Destination Truth last night (I paused live television while putting the kids to bed). But, I’m starting to wonder if it was really worth it.
I still love this show. But, last night’s episode was a bit …

To me, the plot behind Have Gun - Will Travel: Duel at Florence is dang silliness, not that it doesn’t exist, even today, but it sure does point out how self-involved people can be. At the center of the whirlwind is a young woman who has three suitors. …

Truth be known, if my wife and I could have found anything better on television, we probably would never have watched the Animal Planet show “It’s Me or the Dog.”
After watching it, I have to say I’m not sure if it’s a show I will be watching again.
The concept …

If you want to see the luxury of the life in Hollywood then this show is just the right one for you, and this episode is really the best way to present the perks of Hollywood. The episode was very sexy but also very funny and I guess there’s …

I know that a lot of people used to watch the Jerry Springer Show, well on that show was a gentlement, and I used the word acordingly a gentleman named Steve Wilko. He was a former police officer and a former marine.

Well, I waited for the new Ghost Hunters episode last night and was finally rewarded. Unfortunately, I think I liked the re-runs leading up to it a bit better.
The first case was involving a family that was being terrorized by a spirit and I will admit there was some evidence …

Shin Chan was originally a Japanese cartoon show. It’s sometimes compared to The Simpsons because the main character, Shin, is a bad boy like Bart Simpson, although he’s more rude and unaware of what’s acceptable behavior than outright misbehaving. The show just had a trial run on …

He’s done this once before and he does it again now in M*A*S*H: Give ‘Em Hell, Hawkeye. The ‘he’ is Hawkeye Pierce, played so brilliantly for years by Alan Alda. The ‘it’ is writing a letter to President Harry S. Truman. It’s Hawkeye’s attempt to communicate …

For the first time, Ray Bradbury, from whose mind all of these episodes come from, does a unique introduction to his story. He talks more about how he gets ideas. I love these introductions. In the show’s first cable season, there were six episodes and only …

From 1958, the opening episode of Highway Patrol’s final season on the air, its fourth, was called Frightened Witness. The title is a little off as it should have been Frightened Witnesses. That is because there were two scared folks, a couple named Carl and Jennifer Stone. …

CSI Season 3 Episode 1- Revenge is Best Served Cold
It was a very good episode. I enjoyed it very much. One of the cases, although presented a good story, was a bit difficult to believe. It could have been a better story line for a movie maybe, where …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Indestructible Man, show twenty-one of this first year, was directed by Felix Feist. I mention him because his shows always seem to have an extra zest about them. I’m not sure I can even describe it, but the shows …

M*A*S*H: As Time Goes By is probably the best show in some ways ever done in the history of this groundbreaking show. It’s certainly memorable. This is the final regular episode of M*A*S*H. However, the movie that would follow it was actually filmed earlier in the …

The interesting thing about Mr. Monk Goes to the Asylum, is the fact it is the perfect place for our detective. Of course, by perfect, I mean it’s a great way for him to once again solve yet another murder mystery; this time it seems to center around the …

I absolutely have no idea how in the world this reality TV show made it onto the air. I know that you can basically make a reality show out of anything these days. But this one is so corny that I had to laugh whenever I happened …
