So You Think You Can Dance Season 6
I have been impatiently waiting for the fall season mainly because I am eagerly awaiting the start of the television series. One of my favorite and much anticipated show is So You Think You Can Dance. Seasons 1 to 5 were shown during summer, but this fall would be …
Late Night with Jimmy Fallon
The first few times we watched this show we didn’t think it would be very good. It was when he had first started, a few months ago, and he seemed very nervous, making it sort of uncomfortable to watch. However, as time went on he became more confident and …
Everybody Loves Raymond
This show is, in my opinion, not as hilarious as many people seem to think. It is no longer airing new episodes, but you can often catch Everybody Loves Raymond reruns, and the dvds are available for purchase, so it’s easy to watch this show even though it ended …
Project Runway: What a Woman Wants
Well, that was a somewhat interesting Project Runway episode last night; What a Woman Wants.
The designers are always asked to make outfits for celebrities and various other people and rely on their models to sell their designs. So, it was an interesting twist last night when their models suddenly …
Models of the Runway: It’s My Party and I’ll Wear What I Want to
Well, it has happened. When Models of the Runway first came out, I thought it was a refreshing show that gave a nice behind the scenes look at the models of Project Runway. But, I also knew, at some point, the elimination at the end would start getting a …
Jon and Kate Plus 8
This is a very entertaining show that I discovered by accident about a year and a half ago. I was tired of the horrible shows on television and was looking for something different. That’s when I saw those cute adorable faces. They were the Gosselin sextuplets and they were …
Sky Cable
A 500 pesos per month for having a sky cable is worth a try if you are bored watching on the local channels.
When I resigned from work, I started to live with my parents in Imus, Cavite. I am so happy that I can see now my parents …
Make it or Break it
This is the first season of a television drama about aspiring gymnasts training in a gym called The Rock. It is an interesting look at the life of athletes before they become Olympians, the hardships they undergo, and the life that they have to lead just to fulfill their …
Barney show
My almost two-year-old loves this show. It is one of her favorites, along with the Big Comfy Couch. I could do without watching it, but I like that she has a show or two that she likes, so I can have a bit of a break during the day.
As …
Destination Truth: Haunted Forest/Alux
Last night was the first time I have taken the time to sit down and watch the series “Destination Truth.” I have to say it, the season premiere I watched “Haunted Forest/Alux” is one that has me wanting to watch it more often.
In this episode, the Destination Truth team …
Ghost Hunters: Essex County Penitentary
You know what, I had a lot of hope for last night’s Ghost Hunters episode at Essex County Penitentary. After all, they had Josh Gates (from Destination Truth) helping them out so you would think they would find something. But, it was actually a bit disappointing.
First of all, why …
Law & Order SVU: Criminal
Our youngest daughter was still awake last night so my wife and I ended up watching a Law & Order SVU re-run on TV until she finally fell asleep around 10. The episode that was showing was called “Criminal” and it was pretty decent.
In the episode, a graduate student …
Adam-12 - Log 55: Missing Child
I have to admit that I don’t like the beginning this Adam-12 episode. It bothers me on many levels. As an animal lover, it’s unnerving and disturbing. It concerns an elderly woman (Alma Platt) who intentionally left her gas on in an attempt to euthanize her …
Adam-12 - Log 69: Cigarettes, Cars, and Wild, Wild Women
The fifth episode of Adam-12 is called Log 69: Cigarettes, Cars, and Wild, Wild Women and includes Leave it to Beaver’s Tony Dow as a young corporal named Wayne Miller who picked up a female hitchhiker. Unfortunately for him, she stole his car. Dow was at that …
Adam-12: Log 75: Have a Nice Weekend
For me, there isn’t anything terribly exciting about this episode of Adam-12 entitled Log 75: Have a Nice Weekend. The segment I key in on more than the others is one with Norma Connolly as Eva Foster. I met the late Ms. Connolly a few times, and …
Adam-12: Elegy for a Pig
For fans of Adam-12 who track the show and its continuity, season three’s Elegy for a Pig is a challenge. It’s presented documentary style and in a completely different tone than the usual half-hour episode. In reality, this show is a standalone episode. Think of it as …
Living Single show
Sometimes when I watch television, which is rare now of days when I have the internet for that, I like to see shows that they just don’t put on TV anymore. Living Single is definitely one of those shows that makes me feel nostalgic, like I just wish there …
City Homicide
I follow this Australian police drama called City Homicide which deals with the homicides that an Australian police team of investigators try to solve. The homicides are complex, and most are not set in black in white. I struggled with the accent for several episodes, but now I find …
Hung the TV Series
Summer is not my favorite time when in comes to TV shows. The writers seem to be on vacation too, and the shows are not as interesting as those that start during the fall season. Take this series about a divorced father who works as a teacher during the …
Midsomer Murders: A British TV Series
Once in a while I would sit down to a British TV show and enjoy myself for a few hours. I find British shows to be interesting, even though it starts a little bit slow, but slowly becomes very riveting as the story unfolds. I like them for the …
The Simpsons Homie the Clown Season 6 Episode 15
Because of Krusty the Clown’s bad money keeping habits (like spending excessively and losing money to gambling) Krusty finds himself in debt to the local Mafia. In order to make some money, Krusty opens a clown training college, Homer sees the advertisement on a billboard (he was looking at …
Ghost Hunters: Shadow People
This episode of Ghost Hunters wasn’t too bad because the TAPS team at least seems to make a legitimate effort to debunk the cases.
The first one was in a private home where a little girl was being haunted by the spirit of another child. I don’t really buy …
Ghost Hunters: OK Corral
Well, after the disappointment I had from the Tombstone episode of Ghost Hunters, I have to admit I wasn’t overly thrilled about the next episode “OK Corral.” But, at least they had a bit more evidence than they did when they visited the Bird Cage theater in the …
Ghost Hunters: Tombstone
I like the show Ghost Hunters but the episode Tombstone is one of those episodes that has enough bad camera angles and too many assumptions to sometimes make me have doubts about TAPS credibility.
The team investigated the Bird Cage Theater in Tombstone Arizona, which is definitely a historic place. …
Adam 12 - Log 35: Easy, Bare Rider
Just as the first episode of Season 3 had, the second show of the year, Log 35: Easy, Bare Rider, begins right in the middle of the action with no introductory banter between our two heroes of Pete Malloy and Jim Reed. However, this time around, the humor …
Adam 12 - Log 174: Loan Sharks
The third season of the great police drama Adam-12 began in September 1970 with Log 174: Loan Sharks. The first thing that’s really noticeable is the new introduction. This is the one that ends with the police car rolling into a lot right towards the viewer and …
Adam 12 - Log 45: Bright Boy
I really enjoy elements of Log 45: Bright Boy, a third season entry for the Adam-12 crime drama that aired for several seasons on NBC. There’s some nice banter at the beginning between the first crime segment, and that’s just how I like to see it happen.
My favorite …
Adam 12 - Log 95: Purse Snatcher
Log 95: Purse Snatcher is the third episode from the third season of Adam-12, NBC’s hit police drama. Adam-12 is one of the shows that I refer to as Webb-TV, meaning it came from the mind of Jack Webb. It has a story to tell and it …
Ghost Hunters: Altoona, PA
I didn’t watch Ghost Hunters at the beginning of its run about five years ago, but I have watched off and on for the last couple of years. They tend to go to a lot of old places that have reported haunts or mysterious happenings. One of …
Rush (An Australian TV Series)
Rush is an Australian TV series set in Melbourne, Australia. I follow this series religiously because it is an eye-opener in terms of the differences between the police in the US and Australia. The accent is a bit difficult to follow, but after a while, you begin to understand …
City Homicide (Australian TV Series)
I follow this Australian police drama which deals with the homicides that an Australian police team of investigators try to solve. The homicides are complex, and most are not set in black in white. I struggled with the accent for several episodes, but now I find their accents interesting, …
Law and Order Special Victims Unit “Slaves” Episode
I can’t say that this was one of the best Law and Order SVU Episodes I had watched, but I still liked it and learned quite a bit from it like I have learned from a lot of the other episodes. I am not sure if the episode “Slaves” …
Law and Order SPecial Victims Unit (Noctourne) Episode
I thought that this episode of Law and Order Special Victims Unit was not only interesting but educational to me in the sense that it was this episode which informed me of the theory which some people have that sometimes people who are sexually abused eventually begin to sexually …
Law and Order Special VIcitims Unit “Limitations” Episode
Before this episode, I used to wonder if rape victims truly ever forgive their rapists and found it hard to believe that some of them actually do. However, the Law and Order: Special Victims Unit episode “Limitations” shed new light on it and one of the possible negativities of …
Law and Order Special Victims Unit “Disrobed” Episode
I thought this particular Law and Order SPecial VIctims Unit episode was a bit similar to the episode entitled “Payback” in the sense that it made some aspects of the trusted AMerican law a bit questionable to me in terms of what was wrong and what was right. ALso, …
Law and Order Special Victims Unit (Bad Blood) Episode
I thought this episode of Law and Order SVU was a little bit more than interesting. It was also educational in my eyes, as before watching it, I was not aware that some psychiatrists thought that sometimes bad behaviour and qualities were genetic. Nevertheless, despite watching the episode which …
Law and Order Special Victims Unit: “Stocks and Bondage” Episode
I actually started watching the Law and Order: Special Victims Unit episode “Stocks and Bondage” fifteen minutes into it so unfortunately I did not get to see the introduction to find out what happened. However, thankfully one does not have to see the very first part in order to …
Monsters Inside Me show
Monsters Inside me is a show on Animal Planet. It is about parasites that infect people and cause terrible symptoms. It is often graphic and hard to watch, as it shows worms and other things inside people’s bodies. Every episode has a different theme. Notably, the focus of the …
Nancy Grace
Nancy Grace is a former prosecutor now hosting her own show on the Headline News channel, a sister channel of CNN.
I used to watch her show, which airs nightly, but I have not been watching it as much lately. I find that once she gets onto a story, all …
Two and a Half Men
This sitcom has been on for a few years now, and we enjoy both watching reruns of old episodes, and catching the new ones that air on Monday nights.
This show is about a man, Charlie (Charlie Sheen) who lives in a nice house in Malibu, right on the beach. …
Yo Gabba Gabba
Yo Gabba Gabba is, ostensibly, a children’s show, but I find myself drawn into it just as much as my children.
The basic premise is that DJ Lance Rock has friends who come to life when he removes them from his boom box and says the magic words “Yo …
Numb3rs the TV Series
From the first time I watched Numb3rs in AXN, I have fallen in love with this show. I remember David Krumholtz (who plays Charlie Eppes in this TV series) as the lovable love interest of Wednesday Addams (I forget his character name there), and I can see that he …
Ghost Whisperer the TV Series
I have always found the appeal of Ghost Whisperer puzzling. The fifth season will premier on September 25, 2009. Melinda Gordon (Jennifer Love Hewitt) has the ability to see and talk to ghosts, and she uses this ability to bring closure to the ghosts so that they will cross …
Dancing with the Stars
I am awaiting the start of the ninth season of Dancing with the Stars with bated breath. I first followed this reality dance show, which features a professional ballroom dancer teaming up with a celebrity to do ballroom dancing, when I watched Mel B and Maksim Chmerkovskiy dance the …
Medium (TV Series)
My mother and I sit through re-runs of Medium. When I first saw Medium, I was not too interested since I really have no interest in the paranormal. However, when I inadvertently sat in one of its episodes, I thought it was more plausible than Ghost Whisperer. Medium follows …
Without A Trace (A TV Series)
I followed this team of FBI agents dedicated to looking for missing people. Their office is in New York. It also includes stories about the personal lives of the agents. This has run for seven seasons, but there are reports that there will be no eight season.
I am …
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 …
Dark Blue (The TV Series)
Dark Blue is a serious series on the lives of deep undercover police officers, so deep that even their fellow cops do not know about it. I think the title is so appropriate considering that the series deals with the dark side of life. I can feel the tension …
Leverage the TV Series
When Leverage started out its first season last year, it showed great promise. I was excited to watch because it sounded like Robin Hood to me. It also reminded me of The A-Team in the 80s which I followed diligently. Leverage revolves around a story about thieves who band …
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 …
