Bones: Mayhem on a Cross
Last night’s episode of Bones, “Mayhem on a Cross” was, for lack of a better word, disappointing.
Normally, the idea of finding real human remains as part of a stage prop for a heavy metal band would be kind of cool. But, somehow, I feel the show kind of ruined …
Wowowee ABS-CBN
Every ABS-CBN follower is also a fan of its noon-time game show, Wowowee. Hosted by actor, Willie Revillame, the show gives life to a boring noon. Co-hosted by few of the country’s sexiest ladies, the show became more alive and energectic.
The show runs during noon (Philippines’ time) in ABS-CBN …
The Moment of truth TV show
“The Moment of truth” is one of the few reality TV shows I like to watch. This show really fulfils the meaning of reality TV show. “The Moment of truth” is all about speaking the truth, and I mean to say only “truth”, in front of millions of people …
Lingo (Game Show)
One of the shows I like to watch once in awhile on the Game Show Network is Lingo. Two teams of two people compete against each other. They try to guess 5-letter words, and the first letter of that word is given. If one team doesn’t …
Times Now News Channel
Times Now is an English News Channel of India. I am a regular audience of Times Now. It is the best news channel of India because of the depth of issues that it covers and sheer impartiality in its news selection.
Times Now has helped me enormously in enhancing my …
The Two Coreys: Episode 2.10 - Crash
In the Season 2 finale, Dr. Monti schedules separate sessions with Feldman/Susie and Haim to show them the taped video of the fight outside of Haim’s house in order to hear and study their reactions. All three of them feel bad about it, of course, but don’t seem to …
The Two Coreys: Episode 2.9 - Hang Ups
The big break-up of the previous episode has apparently left a huge scar with Feldman here vowing that he’s finished with Haim. Meantime, Nelle finally confronts Haim about his addiction after he asks for her opinion. To much surprise, Nelle reveals that he almost killed the both of them …
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 Two Coreys: Episode 2.8 - Intervention
It’s official, I absolutely love the second season. Season 2 of “The Two Coreys” is to Season 1 what “The Godfather, Part II” is to “The Godfather”. The title of this episode, “Intervention”, is exactly what it’s about. This one delves deep into Corey Haim who finds himself in …
The Two Coreys: Episode 2.7 - Role Models
What I have been noticing so far in much of this season’s episodes is that each one is like two sides to a coin - First we have the snobby and conceited fame and fortune lifestyle (the Feldmans), then there’s poor and lost with bridges burnt and only a …
The Two Coreys: Episode 2.6 - All You Need Is Love
This is a rather…awkward…episode. It actually borrows a little from one of the last season’s episodes involving romance and dating. Haim is having trouble approaching women and finding the right one - Ring a bell? Well that’s the case here… again.
It’s Valentine’s Day and while Haim is out …
The Two Coreys: Episode 2.5 - Lost Boy
Just when you think everything is going well, it all goes to crap and it happens on the set of “The Lost Boys 2″, thanks to Corey Haim who begins by slurring and forgetting his lines as well as causing problems for almost everybody on set. His assistant Nelle …
The Two Coreys: Episode 2.4 - Making Amends
The second season seems to be proving itself as a worthy successor to the first so far. Corey Haim takes a big step in the right direction by making apologies to everyone he’s ever worked with or known that he’s burnt bridges with. He does this by putting a …
Betty La Fea TV program
I’m currently watching Betty La Fea of ABS-CBN. It is a local TV program aired every weeknight. It showcased Bea Alonzo playing the part of the ugly Betty and John Lloyd Cruz as Armando, the leading man. The two matched up perfectly. Their roles fit their personalities and their …
The Two Coreys: Episode 2.3 - Career Moves
Corey Haim is goal-setting and trying to restart his acting career again. Good stuff and all, that’s fine. What’s crazy is how both Coreys are trying to get assistants “at the same time” to make their lives easier. Now isn’t that flipping coincidence? Now I’m starting to wonder how …
The Two Coreys: Episode 2.2 - Couples Therapy
Episode 2 of the second season picks up right after the last one left off with the conversation at the diner. In addition to the “rape” revelations between the two grown men, Feldman also brings up that Haim bad-mouthed him in a couple of recent interviews. The whole back …
The Two Coreys: Episode 2.1 - Showdown
The start of the second season takes a more realistic approach to the show compared to the first season’s seemingly scripted and light-hearted attitude towards everything. It’s six months after the first season and the two Coreys haven’t spoken to each other up until now. This episode begins with …
The Two Coreys: Episode 1.8 - Fly Away Haim
In the finale of the first season, Haim makes Joanne (wow, she’s back!) breakfast and screws up the kitchen in the process. What a lovely surprise this is for Susie and Feldman when they discover it that way. However, looks like the breakfast was all for nothing as Joanne …
The Two Coreys: Episode 1.7 - The Two Coreys
The seventh episode is a season highlight and is quite amusing in many ways. Haim basically corners Feldman into a place that he doesn’t want to be and Feldman has no choice but to go along with it or else he’s royally screwed - and it would all be …
The Two Coreys: Episode 1.6 - The Great Escape
Haim takes Joanne on a shopping spree and spends lots of money (nice way to go for a has-been, don’t you think?), then he imposes on a special dinner between Feldman and Susie (what else is new?). Feldman and Susie then discovers how unbelievably messy Haim’s bedroom is - …
The Two Coreys: Episode 1.5 - Wing Man
“Wing Man” is all about Haim’s love life. The two Coreys discuss it over a game of pool, Haim begins blaming Feldman for all of the bad relationships he was involved in due to the fact that Feldman introduced him to those women. So to make up for it, …
The Two Coreys: Episode 1.4 - Surprise Party
Is it me or is it more than a coincidence that Corey Feldman receives the poster for his new movie, “The Birthday”, on Corey Haim’s 35th birthday? Hmm… Oh wait, this is reality television, everything is like 50% planned or something, right? So yeah, in that case, it does …
The Two Coreys: Episode 1.3 - Cold Turkey
This is a rather very funny episode that allows both Haim and Feldman some alone time together to hang out. It all begins with Haim catching Feldman having a smoke due to the stressful tension he’s had to deal with between Susie and Haim. So as a result, Haim …
The Two Coreys: Episode 1.2 - Lost Boys
While Corey Haim is busy promoting the 20th anniversary of the film that launched them to stardom, “The Lost Boys”, Feldman would rather concentrate on his wife’s photo shoot with Stuff Magazine. It’s a very messed up and embarrassing situation where Haim shows up alone at a radio interview …
The Two Coreys: Episode 1.1 - Reunited
In the very first episode of “The Two Coreys”, Corey Haim and Corey Feldman have been reunited as Haim arrives at the Feldman residence to live with he and his wife. The opening theme/sequence borrows heavily from that of “The Odd Couple” TV show, depicting Haim as an annoying …
Bones : The Doctor in the Den
Synopsis: Human remains found half eaten by a tiger belong to Cam’s former fiancé and Brennan and Booth need to find out who murdered him.
What I liked about this episode: It was good seeing someone other than Brennan investigating a case; though I’m not a huge fan of Cam. …
MacGyver: Good Knight MacGyver Part 2
MacGyver: Good Knight MacGyver Part 2 picks up where part one ends. Back in the time of King Arthur, Mac sets up with Merlin to find the evil Morgana and try to clear his family name, which was disgraced. They also hope to rescue the fair Cecilia …
MacGyver: Good Knight MacGyver Part 1
MacGyver brings the fans a real treat in this two-parter from season seven, call Good Knight MacGyver. It’s just an amazing show that makes you laugh and smile. In Part 1, Mac and Pete are learning about Mac’s ancestry. The genealogist is played by Colm Meaney …
MacGyver: Walking Dead
MacGyver: Walking Dead is definitely not a favorite of mine. In fact, I really don’t like much about it at all. In this show from season seven, a section of the neighborhood where Mac lives is called Little Haiti. The problem is that outcasts from Haiti are …
MacGyver: The Coltons
Finally, the entire Colton clan is together in the same episode of MacGyver. Over the last couple of years, all four Coltons have been introduced, but no two have ever been in the same episode. In fact, the only repeat was Frog, their bulldog. The reason …
MacGyver: The Prometheus Syndrome
Randolph Mantooth, best known as Johnny Gage from the hit series Emergency!, guest starred in this seventh season episode of MacGyver called The Prometheus Syndrome. In this show, Mantooth portrays the fire inspector, Earl Stringer. The story itself revolves around an arsonist who is setting fires all …
American Idol - 3/31 and elimination 4/1
This week on American Idol, it was iIunes night, in a way. The singers had to perform a tune that was a popular download on iTunes. It could be any genre; it just had to fit whatever the producers definition of ‘popular’ was. Some of the …
Dancing with the Stars - elimination 3/31/09
This was another good week on Dancing with the Stars. It’s a fairly competent cast and for the first time there isn’t just one runaway couple, but a few teams that are truly in contention to win the big ball.
This week the stars danced either the Argentine Tango …
MacGyver: The Legend of the Holy Rose Part 2
The action continues from the fifth-season opener of MacGyver with The Legend of the Holy Rose Part 2. MacGyver is helping an old friend from his neighborhood search for Diana’s Temple, or the Holy Grail. The two are being chased by the evil Erich Von Leer, played …
MacGyver: The Legend of the Holy Rose Part 1
The fifth season of MacGyver began with another change to the opening theme. I really miss some of the original clips, but they had to update it for the times, I suppose. The mullet is in full tilt, too. I really was never a fan of …
MacGyver: Unfinished Business
The fourth season of MacGyver came to a close with an episode called Unfinished Business. Oddly, this is a bit of a clips show. Clip shows are done to help keep back cost, with most of the action related to the clips somewhat sedate and with the …
MacGyver: Renegade
MacGyver: Renegade from season four revolves around an ex-Navy Seal that MacGyver had worked with on a three-week mission earlier in the year. The man, Steve Morrison, steals a vial of anthrax from a Phoenix Foundation lab and is in the process of selling it. Mac is …
MacGyver: Easy Target
MacGyver: Easy Target started with a twist — MacGyver and Pete bickering from a weekend ski outing that hadn’t gone as planned. It got worse when Mac’s jeep ran out of gas, which caused more bickering. It was quite fun to watch. Mac and Pete split …
MacGyver: Brainwashed
Jack Dalton is back again, only this time he thinks he’s going as crazy as I think his character really is. He’s sleepwalking and picturing himself shooting MacGyver. Something’s amiss, and he needs Mac to help him figure out what it is. The episode is called Brainwashed, …
MacGyver: The Invisible Killer
MacGyver: The Invisible Killer is a who-dun-it mystery where a killer has infiltrated a five-day retreat that Mac is leading for the Phoenix Foundation. Four men from high pressure assignments, none of who know one another, meet to go backpacking for several days. Eventually, they learn …
MacGyver: Gold Rush
I love this episode, MacGyver: Gold Rush, because it features one of my favorite performers, Lee Patterson. Lee was one of the stars of Surfside Six in the sixties, but where I really grew to love his work was on the daytime drama, One Life to Live, …
MacGyver: Runners
MacGyver: Runners, from season four, features Gerald Anthony as a pimp named Snakeskin. The Italian Anthony made a name for himself on the soap opera One Life to Live as the outrageous Marco Dane. Anthony died a few years ago, but he’s still remembered. A …
MacGyver: The Challenge
Cuba Gooding Jr. stands out in this fourth season episode of MacGyver called The Challenge. Of note off the top is that the show was directed by Dana Elcar, who doesn’t appear in the episode. Elcar did an outstanding job with this show. Not only did …
MacGyver: The Battle of Tommy Giordano
MacGyver finds himself in the middle of a struggle between a divorcing couple who have an eight-year-old son named Tommy. We have continuity problems in this season four story. The opening voice over talks about Mac having known the mother, Mary (Penny Peyser), since he’d gone to …
MacGyver: Fraternity of Thieves
MacGyver: Fraternity of Thieves touches close to home for Pete Thornton (Dana Elcar). The action begins when MacGyver tails an agent who has been living outside his means. When the agent is killed, things begin to explode, especially when Mac becomes suspicious of one of the Phoenix …
MacGyver: Cleo Rocks
From a Jack Dalton episode to another Penny Parker episode. I miss the days when MacGyver was doing exotic assignments overseas. In this fourth season episode, Cleo Rocks, MacGyver has been invited to the premier of Penny’s new play. It’s her first real job as an …
MacGyver: Ma Dalton
Jack Dalton is back and back as being annoying in this episode of MacGyver called Ma Dalton. I’ve been reminded that when he’s calm and not scheming, he can be a fun character, but when he’s scheming and roping Mac into his crap, I just can’t stand him. …
MacGyver: Deadly Dreams
Soap opera diva Kim Zimmer of the Guiding Light guest stars in this season four episode of MacGyver entitled Deadly Dreams. She plays Kate Murphy, a tough cop who has recently solved a series murder that involved a very strong-minded psychopathic serial killer named Dr. Zito. After …
MacGyver: The Survivors
MacGyver: The Survivors is a wonderful episode for the fourth season of this action drama. In it, MacGyver has been spending the last two months taking field operatives on three-day survival tests. They either passed or would be reassigned to desk jobs. Mac’s tired of ending careers …
MacGyver: Collision Course
MacGyver becomes a GT Cup race driver when the Phoenix Foundation develops a new environmental engine in this fourth season entry of MacGyver called Collision Course.
One thing I have to mention first that is bugging me in the last two episodes is Richard Dean Anderson’s hair. It’s just …
