Star Trek: Voyager - Live Fast and Prosper
Star Trek: Voyager - “Live Fast and Prosper” is an episode that I would call part comedy, part absurdity. The episode does have some genuinely comical moments, like when one of the Voyager crew impostors, namely the alien impersonating Tuvok, gets carried away with his role and when the …
Star Trek: Voyager - Fury
Star Trek: Voyager - “Fury” is an episode that excels in special effects, but not so much in story. In this episode, Kes returns, after being gone for over three years. She returns and attacks Voyager in what plays out in as some of Star Trek’s best special effects. …
Sportsnation
There are a lot of “talking head” shows on television nowadays. While it mostly sticks to news stations, even ESPN couldn’t avoid bringing in a few of their own.
Earlier this year, they launched a new show called Sportsnation. Unlike other shows, this would get the …
Becoming Human- A 3 part series from NOVA
Ever since its arrival, NOVA has been home to some interesting shows. Their educational 1-hour documentaries often intrigue thousands and thousands of viewers. Recently, I watched “Becoming Human-A 3 part series” for my Biology class. As I sat at the computer for three whole hours I felt myself starting …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Hollow Pursuits
Star Trek: The Next Generation - “Hollow Pursuits” is an episode that I enjoy watching because it shows a couple of things that make the show more realistic and the characters more real. Through the character of Lt. Reginald Barcley, it is shown that not every person on the …
2009 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show
My wife and I have been watching the Victoria’s Secret Fashion show every year since it first appeared on TV. Last night was no exception to that. Of all the shows we have seen, I think this year’s was easily the best.
The great thing about Victoria’s Secret’s show isn’t …
Paul McCartney: Good Evening New York City
Paul McCartney: Good Evening New York City was a wonderful hour of entertainment presented on television on Thanksgiving in the United States. Sir Paul has performed for decades and is a favorite of so many generations. It’s just amazing to see his success. From the Beatles …

Kaleidoscope on Ice
Presented on Thanksgiving Day in the United States, Kaleidoscope on Ice was the best ice skating show I’ve watched in years. Now that may be because one of my favorite favorites, Scott Hamilton, skated for the first time in six years. Scott has survived two different cancers …
House: Wilson
Last night’s episode of House was actually quite good. It still didn’t have a case that was overly hard to diagnose but at least Wilson got more air time than a quick cameo appearance. In fact, the entire episode was really about him and his involvement with one of …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - All Good Things… Part Two
Star Trek: The Next Generation - “All Good Things…” Part Two is the last episode of the series, and really, I think it could have been better. There is a lot about this episode that just does not make very much sense. For example, the explanation for where the …
Legend of the Seeker
I had heard of the show Legend of the Seeker but honestly never took the time to watch it on TV. However, I did see it was available through our Netflix Instant watch and I decided to give it a try this weekend.
It wasn’t too bad.
The show is about …
Glee TV show
Glee is a new TV show on it’s first season on Fox. There are really only a handful of shows on Fox that I enjoy and I try to avoid this network as much as possible because they have a tendency to cancel shows that I like, I’m hoping …

Eastwick is a new TV show in ABC. The show is about three women living in the small New England town of Eastwick. The three women are very different, one is a single mother who’s artsy, free spirited (Rebecca Romijn) and dating a younger man (Matt Dallas), another one …
Cougar Town show
Cougar Town is a new show on ABC. When I first heard about this show I was iffy about it, even though the main character is Courtney Cox. I thought it was an interesting concept, different, but I didn’t tune in until a friend pointed out how great it …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Data’s Day
Star Trek: The Next Generation - “Data’s Day” is a fun episode to watch. Unlike every other episode of the series, this episode’s story is told from Data’s perspective. The story follows Data as he goes about his “typical day” while the character speaks in the background. Data is …
The Glenn Beck Program
Fox News gets a lot of flak nowadays. Oh, I know it’s biased, but people react as if the idea of a biased news source is something new. Furthering the irony is the fact that the people who complain about Fox the loudest are the ones who …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - All Good Things… Part One
Star Trek: The Next Generation - “All Good Things…” Part One is the second to last episode of the series. The series finale for the show is centered around Captain Picard and his sudden and unexpected shifts through time. Now, I can see why the writers went with this …
One Tree Hill

Seven days Season 3 Episode 12 Raven
Honestly, most of the third season episodes of this show seem to be classic episodes, you know one of those that every show got to have. I am actually waiting to see Parker on a jury duty, you know when he thinks one thing and the other 11 jurors …
Entourage season 2 episode 4 An Offer Refused
Although this show is all about glam and luxury of the life in Hollywood, in this episode we see that it is not only about those things. I never realised that an actor doesn’t need only his good looks and acting skills but also a good manager who knows …
Entourage season 2 episode 3 Aquamansion
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 …

Seven days Season 3 Episode 8 Tracker
I must admit that I have never heard more bad accents in any show than in this one. Everybody always speaks English even though they are Russians, Chinese or of any other nationality, even when two members of another nationality which isn’t American talk among them they use English, …
Seven days Season 3 Episode 7 The Fire Last Time
I guess every show sooner or later has to have an episode about escaped prisoners so the time for this show to present such an episode has arrived. Although the title of the show was The Fire Last Time I will remember it under another title, The Episode That …
Curb Your Enthusiasm: 7.09
Curb hits a high note with this episode, reminiscent of some truly awful misunderstandings like “The Doll” amongst others. When Larry is bothered by the nine year old daughter of a crew person, he finds himself in a text friendship with her, which at first bothers him, but later …

Louis Theroux Weird Weekends India Enlightenment Indian Gurus
This review is about the Indian Gurus episode of Louis Theroux’s Weird Weekends, which is the second episode of the third series and was shown in 2000. I thought this was one of the more entertaining episodes of Louis’s show although it was really inevitable that seeing him …
Mr. Monk and the Badge
Wow, talk about a seriously predictable episode of Monk. Mr. Monk and the Badge could have been one of the better ones but it was one of those episodes that really is meant to provide closure to something without putting a whole lot of effort into it.
Basically, Monk finally …
House: Ignorance is Bliss
Well, last night’s episode of House, Ignorance is Bliss, could have been one of the better episodes from the series. After all, you have a genius who is no longer a genius and is suffering a variety of health ailments that can’t be explained (except by his addiction to …
CSI Las Vegas Episode 8, Season 10
I just watched the latest episode of CSI, short for Crime Scene Investigation, which in 2007 was the most watched show in the whole world with 84 million viewers. And after chief honcho Grissom had left the scene, it’s still going strong.
At first, I didn’t think that Laurence …
Jonestown Cult Documentary
Jonestown Cult is a disturbing documentary, released in 2009, concerning the mass suicide of over 900 members in 1978, at the urging of its charismatic leader, Jim Jones. It was interesting because a picture was painted of how the situation could get that bad without people questioning the …
Star Trek: Voyager - Ashes to Ashes
Star Trek: Voyager - “Ashes to Ashes” offers up a unique and fresh science fiction concept that I like: what if there was an alien race out there that reproduces using the bodies of the dead? This episode features such an alien race. They scour the galaxy for members …

Justice League - “Only a Dream” Part One is a solidly entertaining episode that features some fluid animation and a story that is quite unlike any other episode of the series. I kind of felt that this episode was a little predictable in some respects, like when it comes …
Justice League - Twilight, Part Two
Justice League - “Twilight”, Part Two unfortunately is not quite as solid as part one, in part, because of the story and the dialogue. The story begins to develop holes in it as more is revealed, especially when Darkseid tells of how he will tear down the universe and …
Justice League - Only a Dream, Part Two

Super Mario World - The Night Before Cave Christmas

Super Mario World - Send in the Clown
Super Mario World - “Send in the Clown” is my favorite episode of the cartoon series. Part of the reason I really enjoy this episode is because this episode actually features a fight between Mario and Koopa that resembles the battle at the end of Super Mario World. It …
Seven days season 3 Episode 5 Olga’s Excellent Vacation
