Ghost Hunters Academy Season 2 Finale
Well, I have to say this about Ghost Hunters Academy; they really don’t have a whole lot of episodes. The show just came on the air not that long ago and they had the season finale last night.
The finale itself wasn’t too bad, the remaining three cadets got to …
Bones: Fire in the Ice
Wow, two new episodes of Bones in a row and both aren’t half bad.
While not as good as the first one, which involved a murder at a circus, the episode “Fire in the Ice” still managed to be interesting.
You have a fireman who played hockey against Booth who is …
30 Rock: Pilot
I can’t say that this pilot started out all that strong for me. The truth is that I turned it on, left the room and forgot about it until the next day, but then pilots are difficult, and there was a fair amount of humor in this one once …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: To the Chicago Abyss TV Show
From 1989, The Ray Bradbury Theater: To the Chicago Abyss concerns some future era when times are tough and food is precious. In fact, apparently very few are left who remember how life used to be, when everyone could go where they wanted and each fruits and vegetables.
I …
That Girl: Should All Our Old Acquaintance Be Forgot
One of the things I like about That Girl is that they celebrate a lot of the holidays, or at least acknowledge them. Some shows may do Christmas, but that’s about it, so this is quite nice. The occasion here is New Year’s Eve, and to welcome …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Jackie Gleason TV Show

Birds of Prey TV show episode 2: Slick
The pilot for this series was a mixed bag. There was a lot of stuff that I really liked and stuff that I felt was either unwelcome or unnecessary. This episode is a bit more consistent and balanced and it ends up working both for and against …
The Defenders: Las Vegas v. Reid TV Show
The Defenders: Las Vegas v. Reid is the second show of this new law series that is as much comedy as it is drama. For example, in the opening tease, the first bit has the series leads, Jim Belushi and Jerry O’Connell, standing below the big, bold billboard …
Deal or No Deal TV Game Show

Stars on Ice 2010
This two hour special on NBC highlighted not just what was coming up with the 2010 Smucker’s Stars on Ice Tour, but the past twenty years of Stars on Ice. As someone who has gone to numerous performances, for me, there’s nothing like the past, so this special …
Maury: I Do Not Have 18 Kids
I watch daytime talk shows from time to time. I can not believe some of the topics that are discussed and that people really go on television to do it! My personal opinion is that these people must be paid well to go on these shows. …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Piano TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel was a western series that I watched a lot as a child. I think I liked it better back then, but still, I’ve been enjoying catching the reruns on TV these days. The show being reviewed here is called The Piano. …
Pushing Dasies
I randomly caught myself watching the show Pushing Daisies after flipping the channels to find something to entertain myself.

Dirty Sexy Money
Dirty Sexy Money is all about money. Yes, there are so many TV shows and movies about money because I think people are just obsessed with money and power in general.

Project Runway: A Look in the Line TV Show

That Girl: All’s Well That Ends
That Girl: All’s Well That Ends is the final show of the fourth season, and it’s all about Ann Marie’s (Marlo Thomas) birthday. It’s fun to watch this show because it’s the end of ‘we have an understanding’ shows for Ann Marie and Don Hollinger (Ted Bessell). …
Rules of engagement show
I have watched the show “rules of engagement” a couple of different times. Overall it is an alright show. I think it could be a much better show honestly though. Some of the actors are good but some aren’t that good. I’m glad to see David Spade in a …

Will and Grace
I first heard of the comedic television series “Will and Grace” while I was still in high school. I can’t remember how the discussion started or what it had to do with English either, but it seemed to be the topic of a very animated English class one day …

Psyh television series
Psych is a comedy television series that comes from time to time on the American cable television channel USA. I think that it is funny sometimes because the main character, Shawn Spencer is very silly, and does a lot of deceiving people in order to accomplish his detective work. …
The Twilight Zone: A Piano in the House TV Show
To me, The Twilight Zone: A Piano in the House is a little on the morose and macabre side of life. It’s eerie in an unpleasant way, and it’s just not one that I enjoy very much. That’s not to say it’s not crafted well, but …
Channel 2: Harapan

A Miser’s Brothers’ Christmas
A Miser’s Brothers’ Christmas is a 2008 sequel to 1974’s awesome, “The Year Without a Santa Claus”. Unfortunately, I’m nowhere near as taken with it as I was with the 1974 entry.
While Mickey Rooney returns as the voice of Santa and pulls it off beautifully, I found most …
