CSI New York
A very successful spin off the original show CSI- Crime Scene Investigation. Unlike its older brother, which follows the lives of the crime scene investigation team in Las Vegas, this one is set in New York. The setting and the context are different and adapted to a different atmosphere, …
Psych: Shawn takes a shot in the dark
Well, I guess the character of Shawn Spencer can’t criticize all the survival training his dad gave him as a kid any more. After all, he had to use all of it to survive last night’s episode of Psych; Shawn takes a shot in the dark.
Shawn gets shot and …

Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style
Ok, when I saw a show that starred Tim Gunn, I figured maybe there was something different on television. I was seriously wrong.
Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style, while admittedly sometimes entertaining, is nothing more than a rehashed version of every other makeover show on television.
Let me summarize ‘Well, Mrs. …
Supernatural show
Supernatural is a show on the CW network. This show is about two brothers, Sam and Dean Winchester, who fight supernatural beings, ghosts, demons, demi-gods, etc. They’re referred to as hunters because they hunt these things and try to help families and towns out by getting rid of what …
CSI Season 4 Episode 18- Bad to the Bone
CSI Season 4 Episode 18- Bad to the Bone
It’s quite a nice choice of words to name the episode. I bit ironic, I find. The episode itself was quite good, but I don’t think it was very interesting. I could guess some of the facts before the team did, …
Doctor Who: Season 1, Episode 7: The Long Game
This episode had a rather high bar to jump, and while it didn’t surpass “Dalek”, it was still a pretty solid episode.
It opens with the Doctor and Rose arriving on a space station in the year 200,000. This time, the duo are joined by Adam from …
Captain Sig Hansen
Captain Sig Hansen runs the Northwestern, an enormous crab fishing rig that operates in the Bering Sea of Alaska. I like getting to watch Captain Sig and the Northwestern crew on the Dicovery Channel’s “Deadliest Catch”. It’s intersting for me to watch him interact with his deckhands, …

That Girl: Great Guy
I can’t say that I’m a big fan of That Girl: Great Guy. It’s a show that aired towards the end of the second season and featured Ruth Buzzi, who has a recurring role as Margie ‘Pete’ Peterson. Buzzi is a talented comedienne, but this role really …
M*A*S*H: The Colonel’s Horse
Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) heads off for Tokyo to have some rest and relaxation with his wife, Mildred, in M*A*S*H: The Colonel’s Horse. I’d forgotten about this story and was very pleased to see that Mildred was flying in from home to see her husband. While …

America’s Next Top Model cycle 14, courtesy of Tyra Banks
America’s Next Top Model is one of those shows I’m pretty ashamed to admit I find myself watching, and I can’t explain why I continue to watch it, other than the fact that it’s mindless drama. Even though it’s supposed to be a reality show, watching it for …
The First Leaders’ Debate TV show
Since I am British and since up until this election campaign we had never before had an American style live TV debate, I was extremely interested to see how this one would play out. ITV won the battle to stage the first of what will be three debates, and …
Kendra! (E! network show)
Oh boy, here we go again. Now one of Hugh Hefner’s girls has her own show. Her name is Kendra, and she used to be one of Hef’s most rambunctious bunnies. But now she’s married football player Hank Baskett. I watched just …
Ghost Hunters TV Episode: Century of Hauntings
Synopsis: TAPS investigates both a private home in Massachusetts before visiting Philadelphia to investigate the reportedly haunted USS Olympia.
What I liked about this episode: This episode is essentially a throw back of some sorts because they are investigating someone’s private residence in an effort to help them cope with …
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 …
I Love New York
How many of us out there have grown to love New York? I know I for one have. When New York appeared on The Flavor of Love, I could not stand to watch it because of her. But now that she had her own show and was not competeing …
Stargate SG-1: The Curse
Season four of Stargate SG-1 continues with an intriguing episode called The Curse. It guest stars a beautiful British actress named Anna-Louise Plowman. For some reason, a good majority of the guest stars, especially the Goa’uld, are British. They say it’s never been intentional, but it …
Netflix Streaming Movies
I recently had the opportunity to get a free month’s trail of Netflix. I liked it so much I decided to keep just not at the plan that I originally signed up for. I had signed up for the unlimited streaming plus one DVD at a time for $9.99 …
TV Show: Seducing Cindy
When we got Direct TV, we ended up with several channels we never had before. And, as a result, came across a few television shows we had never knew existed.
One of those shows was a show called Seducing Cindy, which was airing on our reality TV channel. Since the …
Pokemon (TV Show) - Clefairy and the Moonstone (Episode)
“Clefairy and the Moonstone” is an episode of the Pokemon television series. What is perhaps most interesting about this episode is the story. I like how this episode exhibits a certain degree of mystery by exploring whether or not the Clefairy and Clefable came from outer space and I …
Family Guy: Road to Germany
Last night was the first time I got a chance to watch the entire Family Guy episode “Road to Germany” and, unlike other travel stories involving Brian and Stewie, this one was actually pretty good.
Of course, there wasn’t a whole lot with the rest of the family but it …
Jake Ryan and Miley Stewart
Jake Ryan and Miley Stewart are on the TV sitcom Hannah Montana and this is especially catered to the young teenagers and kids. I think this story is quite amazing and on some episodes if you are an avid viewer, you will come across the main character’s Miley Stewart …
The Twilight Zone: Little Girl Lost TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Little Girl Lost presents a really different story and it’s pretty intriguing. It begins very routinely with parents awakened in the middle of the night by the sound of their little girl crying. When they check on her, she’s nowhere to be found, …
Stargate SG1: The Torment Of Tantalus
Katherine Langford, the woman who recruited Daniel Jackson for the Stargate program, is re-introduced in this episode. No, she is not played by the same woman but an equally talented one.
Daniel is given lots of boxes regarding the Stargate Program back in 1945. While most people would …
True Beauty: The Stealing Challenge TV Show
I can’t believe ABC renewed the True Beauty series. I watched it in total disbelief last season. The concept is that models compete in various challenges for what they think are events to find the most beautiful person. Well, they’re right, except that the models assume …
Weeds TV Show on Showtime
Weeds is one of the best dramas/comedies on tv right now. If you like an edgy, sometimes funny, sometimes poignant show that pushes the envelope from traditional sitcoms, this show is the one for you. The excellent acting of Mary Louise Parker and Elizabeth Perkins make it clear why …
North and South- BBC tv series
I first saw this series when it was shown on the BBC about 5 years ago now. If you like classic period dramas then this is for you. Without giving too much about the storyline away it’s a gritty drama set in a mill town called Milton, …
The Cleaner: Five Little Words
The Cleaner: Five Little Words is an intriguing episode from the show’s first season. It’s one that is full of flashbacks where we see some of what William Banks (Benjamin Bratt) has gone through as he battled drugs in the past. We get to see how he …
The Simpsons: In the Name of the Grandfather
I haven’t seen too many recent Simpsons episodes but I had a chance to watch a couple of them (in re-runs last night).
One of those, “In the Name of the Grandfather” was kind of cool.
I love how this episode starts out. The Simpsons end up buying a hot tub …
MacGyver: The Golden Triangle
Mac heads for Burma and becomes involved in helping some of the locals to get free of the opium dealers who want them to harvest their crops. It’s essentially slavery, and Mac can’t help himself after he meets one of the young boys. He’s saddened by what …

Now that they are engaged, Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) and Don Hollinger (Ted Bessell) head to St. Louis for Ann to formally meet the rest of Don’s family. Missing is his sister, Sandy, and that is unexplained and a glaring oversight in my opinion. On the good side, …
Psych TV Episode: Gus’ Dad May have Killed an Old Guy
I’m not exactly sure what I was doing during the second season of Psych. But, apparently there were quite a few episodes that season that I missed because I was seeing them for the first time during a marathon on Saturday.
One of them, Gus’ Dad May have Killed and …
The Twilight Zone: Four O’Clock TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Four O’Clock isn’t my style. It’s show that has a theme about prejudice and it’s just nasty. Theodore Bikel stars as a man who only sees the bad in people. He goes around calling schools and employers, telling them that so and so …
Boston Legal Season 2 Episode 16
Shirley Schimdt got a visit from her ex-husband Ivan. The latter wanted Shirley to be his best man for his wedding. Shirley opposed because first, because the best man doesn’t give the groom away, second, is that they used to be husbands and wives and last, she is not …
Bones: The Man in the Mansion
Sometimes it pays to stay home sick. If I wouldn’t have today, I would have missed a re-run of the Bones episode, the Man in the Mansion; an episode I didn’t see until tonight.
This one was actually somewhat interesting. The case itself isn’t overly unique. A millionaire is found …
That 70s Show TV Episode: That 70s Musical
Wow, I was watching television Friday night and came across an episode of That 70s Show I had heard about but had never seen before, “That 70s Musical.” I have seen quite a few episodes of this show but this one was absolutely fantastic.
Basically, you have Fez getting ready …
Grey’s Anatomy Season 6 Episode 16
After watching a bunch of not so great episodes of Grey’s it was nice to see one that had a good vibe to it. Funny, light hearted and warm and this was that episode, well up until the end anyway where it got sad.
What was cool about this …
America’s Best Dance Crew
I love this dancing show from the first time that I watched Mario Lopez flash his dimples. I have to give it to the producers of this show. Their choice of dance crews is really good. I enjoy the fast paced dancing that every crew dishes out. As Shane …
The Twilight Zone: Stopover in a Quiet Town TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Stopover in a Quiet Town is one of the better shows from this final season of this classic science fiction show from the mind of Rod Serling. It has a decent plot with an appropriate amount of suspense. You aren’t quite sure where the …
Bones the TV Series
This is my all-time favorite TV shows. I am waiting impatiently for September 17, 2009 for the announced premiere date of Season 5. Dr. Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel) works side by side with Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) in solving FBI crimes where the remains are bones. This is based …
Stargate SG1: There But For The Grace Of God
This was the first of many alternate reality shows that Stargate SG1 would do. It is also one of my favorite episodes from Season One. Maybe it’s because this episode is Daniel-centric or maybe it’s because it was very well written and fun to watch.
Daniel and the …
Curb Your Enthusiasm: Ted and Mary
After an enjoyable double date with Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen, Larry loses his prized campers at the shoe desk and becomes infatuated with Mary. He soon enjoys a day of shopping with Mary (and her mother) to the bemusement of wife of Cheryl and friend Ted.
Later on, he …
That Girl: Kimono My House
While it’s cute enough, I’ve never really liked That Girl: Kimono My House all that much. I can’t really point out any special reason why it’s not a favorite, but that’s just the way I feel about it.
Apparently, Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) goes to Don Hollinger’s (Ted Bessell) …
Joey Tribbiani
As much as you would like to knock Joey Tribbiani on the head most of the time, you can’t help feeling a bit of love for him. He is the struggling actor in the hit series sitcom Friends, which is not in the making anymore. Such a pity, …
