House: Saviors
Last night’s episode of House, entitled “Saviors” was actually one of the better House episodes I’ve seen in recent history.
This, of course, is the episode that takes place one week after the shocker involving Kutner’s suicide and the team has to figure out the cause of an environmentalist’s sudden …
The Biggest Loser

TV’s 50 Funniest Phrases
Tonight NBC aired TV’s 50 Funniest Phrases, a celebration of the best 50 phrases in TV history. What I liked about this show is that they ultimately admitted it was a mainstream 50 phrases. Going in and out of commercials, for example, they’d give the top 3 …
Supernatural TV show
When I first watched Supernatural two years ago I was intrigued by the funny-creepy topic of the episodes.

Sealab 2021
The the television series “Sealab 2021″ was an animated comedy series which used to be broadcast on the programme Adult Swim on Cartoon Network. After doing some research on it I realised that it first premiered there in the year 2000, but I actually started watching the series about …
The Feminist and the Fuzz movie
Back in its day, The Feminist and the Fuzz was quite the made-for-TV movie, its topic relevant to its era. Back in 1971, women’s lib and equality was a huge subject for debate. Though serious and often dramatic, The Feminist and the Fuzz was a comedy surrounding …
Wagon Train: The Jess Macabee Story
Wagon Train: The Jess Macabee Story is pretty funny. The emphasis is on Robert Horton’s character of Flint McCullough who has gone ahead of the wagon train to try and find a food supply. He’d been in the area before, but for the first time, he find …
Wagon Train: A Man Called Horse
I have to say I was totally surprised by Wagon Train: A Man Called Horse and not in a good way. The main part of my shock is the main guest star, Ralph Meeker. I don’t know much about Meeker, but I’d always heard he was a …

Wagon Train: The Zeke Thomas Story

Wagon Train: The Link Cheney Story
Charles Drake is the main guest star in Wagon Train: The Link Cheney Story, a seventh season entry of this great western television series. Drake is an affable sort to watch. He pulls off bad guys and good guys with ease. Here, he’s a master poker …
Wagon Train: The Stark Bluff Story
Wagon Train: The Stark Bluff Story just didn’t do anything for me at all. This is an episode from season seven of Wagon Train. It was one of the ninety minute, color episodes. Scott Miller as Duke Shannon gets the brunt of the story, and frankly, …

The Apprentice UK - Episode 2
In watching this second episode of The Apprentice UK, I realized this was a director’s cut. I don’t know if that’s because it’s ‘on demand’ or if that is how the BBC America channel is airing it, but apparently, these aren’t necessarily as they are seen in Britain.
This …
The Apprentice UK - Episode 1
On a whim, I saw this offered ‘on demand’ on cable and decided to turn it on. ‘This’ is The Apprentice UK, its first episode. This is the British version of Donald Trump’s Apprentice on NBC. Here, it’s Sir Alan Sugar running the show. He …
Wagon Train: The Last Circle Up
This episode of Wagon Train, The Last Circle Up, which is the final episode of the seventh season, is actually a bit ironic, considering what happens for the eighth and concluding season for this western series. The story is all about whether or not Chris Hale’s crew would …
Judicial Indiscretion movie
Judicial Indiscretion is a very nice suspenseful made-for-TV movie that I enjoy watching quite a bit. It was made for the Lifetime channel. The movie opens innocently enough with Judge Monica Barrett being told by a friend that her name as been thrown in the hat as …
Dancing with the Stars - Final Results 5/19/09
This was the big night when the winner of the Dancing with the Stars 2009 season would be crowned. While I agree, the best three couples are in the finals, it also bugs me that the voting has been so manipulated to ensure that one of them, Melissa …

Lifetime Channel
I will admit it! I love a good Lifetime movie. My roommates used to make fun of me when they would come home and find me on the couch watching Lifetime. You really can’t go wrong with a lazy day watching a corny, way too long, with dried up …
Nip Tuck
Nip Tuck is a very edgy show. It is one of my husband’s and my favorite shows. Nip Tuck pushes the boundaries of what it can get away with on television. They have had every possible random situation on the show. It is about two plastic surgeons and their …

24 Season 7

Unlike the first …
PBS KIDS Channel
TV is a all time favourite for everyone. But watching today’s shows with family is not a good idea. There are lot of shows that are not kid friendly and have a negative impact on kids. Not every channel has kids programmes and there is nothing much for toddlers to …
How I Met Your Mother
How I met your mother is in its 4th season and I believe to be running strong. The show is absolutely hilarious and I recommend it to everyone over the age of 17. I don’t think you would understand all of it if you were a younger child. Anyways …
TV Show: Glee
So tonight was the first episode of the new Fox series, Glee. The show is okay. It is shot in a reality type mode, like most shows these days. It’s about a guy who returns to his high school and takes up a director spot in the school’s failing …

Wagon Train: The Duncan McIvor Story
Wagon Train: The Duncan McIvor Story isn’t a favorite of mine. In fact, it’s not one that I particularly enjoy watching. To be truthful, though I’ve seen it before, when watching the DVD again, it took me a few times to get through it. I just …
Dexter TV show
When I first considered watching this TV series I was pretty much reluctant since I don’t care for criminal TV shows involving police stories catching serial killers and all the other criteria.
Imagine my shock when I became addicted to a new kind of criminal, a funny and gothic like …
