TV Guide Network
There is one thing that annoys me about the TV Guide network. When I want the channels to scroll faster, I realize just how slow it is. When I am actually trying to read what a program is about, it seems it flies up the …
Swiffer Wet Mop/Duster (TV ad)
The song “Baby Come Back” is playing in the background in this series of commercials. In one, a woman is using the Swiffer—which happens to have its own squirting mechanism that helps to clean the floor much easier. But once the woman gets to a …
Luke’s Parental Advisory (VH1 network TV show)
Who in the world gave Luther Campbell permission to have his own reality show? I will admit that I have never liked Luke’s music, even when it was popular. And not just because all he talked about were hoes and shaking booties. …
Brooke Knows Best (VH1 network TV show)
There are just too many reality shows on the air these days. This show is a spin-off so to speak of the other reality show, “Hogan Knows Best.” I didn’t watch that show because I had no desire to. But after hearing about all the …
Wanda At Large: Wanda Sykes Show (TV One)
I don’t know exactly when the Wanda Sykes show went off the air. I think it was actually some time in 2003. But I have caught a few episodes on TV One. I knew that Wanda had quite the sense of humor. …
G. Garvin’s Cooking Show (TV One)
I really wanted to like this cooking show as I love to watch shows where people are getting down in the kitchen. I also like the fact that there is a black man on television who embraces being in the kitchen. In any case I …
CTV 7pm News
One of the newest local television stations that came on air in Trinidad recently is called “C” They have a variety of programs, cartoons documentaries, etc. and of course they have a daily news cast which airs at 7pm each night.
As I stated before C is a new television …
Tom and Jerry: - ep: Salt Water Tabby
I don’t think Tom and jerry would ever get old and with so many episodes depicting different backgrounds yet keeping the classic chase. They did wonderfully. One of these episodes which features a different background from the usual house or back yard is called Salt Water Tabby.
The Salt Water …

Woody Woodpecker is a cartoon/cartoon character created by Walter Lantz. In the episode entitled Banquet Busters there is also one of his other characters features who goes by the name of Andy Panda. In this episode is also Wally Walrus, a regular cast member in cartoons.
This episode starts off …
Ben 10 Episode: Lucky Girl
This morning while looking at television and flipping through channels I saw one of my favourite cartoons being shown. On Cartoon Network there is a cartoon named Ben 10. In this cartoon a kid on vacation with his grandpa and cousin happens upon an alien “watch” whose correct name …
General Hospital: Nightshift 2008
In July 2008, Soap net debuted the second season of “General Hospital: Night Shift”. Essentially, it’s a summer show that takes regulars from the daytime soap opera and showcases them as they work the night shift at General Hospital. The show airs every Tuesday evening during the …
Cosby Show
If you are looking for a great way to pass a few hours, either go to your local library or find some reruns of the cosby show. This is one of the best television shows to ever be aired on television, it had humor, romance, kids, rich people and …
Mr. Monk Takes a Punch
This week’s Monk episode “Mr. Monk Takes a Punch” actually wasn’t too bad compared to some of the lesser quality episodes that have been on television recently. It was a good mix of comedy and mystery and I think I actually enjoyed it.
This episode has Monk trying to track …
Family Guy
In the past, I really wasn’t much of a Family Guy fan. I would watch the show and laugh at a few of the jokes but thought a lot of the stuff was a bit too crude for my tastes so I never was a huge fan.
I’m not sure …
Iron Chef
I had heard about the television show Iron Chef. But, until last night, I hadn’t taken the time to watch it. While I found it somewhat interesting, I’m not sure if it’s a show I would watch on a regular basis.
Basically, the premise behind Iron Chef is you have …
Mr. Monk Gets Lotto Fever
As far as Monk episodes go, Mr. Monk Gets Lotto Fever was actually one of the worse ones I’ve seen.
While the side-plot of Natalie getting a job as television’s lotto girl was somewhat interesting, the reality was the show itself was a bit cruddy because there was really no …
Dick VanDyke Show
Ok, I confess, I’ve never watched the Dick VanDyke show before and the only reason I watched it the other night was it came on after another show I was watching and I was too lazy to walk across the room to grab the remote control.
However, I will admit, …
Dana Carvey: Squatting Monkey’s Tell No Lies
I’ve seen Dana Carvey on Saturday Night Live and I’ve seen him in movies like Wayne’s World but, last night, when I watched his HBO Special Squatting Monkey’s Tell No Lies, was the first time I ever saw him do stand up. And, I want to watch that routine …
Mr. Monk and the Genius
Finally, a Monk episode that gets back down to the basics. You have a suspect that everyone knows is the murderer but nobody can prove and it’s up to Monk to find the clues that aren’t obvious to beat him.
This episode has him pitted against a genius and it …
Shear Genius
Last night, while waiting for the new season of Project Runway to start, I came across a show I didn’t even know existed; Shear Genius.
While the premise of the show, I admit, is a unique one; I’m not sold on the program.
The point behind the show, as I can …
Project Runway Season 5 Premiere
Eventually, even the most popular shows end up coming full circle and, either because they try too hard to re-invent themselves or because they run out of legitimate talent, they start showing some decline. This is especially true when it comes to reality television because you are always trying …
Mr. Monk Buys a House
I still like the television series Monk. But, either I’m becoming a better detective myself or the show is becoming extremely predictable with easy-to-solve cases.
Mr. Monk Buys a House, the newest episode, is a good example of this.
From the first minutes of the show, we know who is killed …
Psych: Ghosts
When Psych first came on the air, I only watched it because it was the show that was on after Monk. But, I have to admit the show is growing on me enough where I’m willing to tune in to USA just to watch it.
The newest episode, Ghosts, was …
Modern Marvels from History Channel
Modern Marvels is a great show brought to the viewing public by the History channel.
I like being able to tun this program on and then learn about some of the structures and how they were built. Everything from collapsed and fixed bridges to antenna towers to bullet trains …
George Lopez, Carmin Runs Away
I watched this episode of George Lopez. There is this huge loser that works at the same place where George works, and he is interested in Carmin, George’s daughter. In front of George, Loser expresses interest in Carmin, and she shoots him down, saying she has a …
Korean Drama: Iljimae
Iljimae is yet another wonderful drama that I truly love and enjoy. Not because I am a fan of the lead star but because I find the story really wonderful and heartfelt. The story was about a son of a noble man who was killed mercilessly; he was set …
Fear Factor
The show fear factor has been around for a couple of years and has been going strong. Their idea was wonderful and they test your mental, physical capabilities to its full extent. I have to say they also challenge your mind so much as to how much you can …
ABS CBN Documentary on Malnutrition
Abs-Cbn has just broadcasted a documentary film about Philippine’s malnutrition. The title is “Dalawang Mukha ng Malnutrisyon” or “The two faces of Malnutrition”. I know that even fat kids are not well nourished, but I did not realize that making your kids eat whatever they want can actually be …
Palmolive Natural Commercial
Palmolive Natural Intensive Conditioner’s TV commercial is not really realistic. Though I would believe that they made a formula that might actually make the hair softer and it “might” last up to 48 hours, the commercial ads they made was really far from reality. This is a very clear …
Channel 2: Harapan
Abs-CBn has a new current events program shown very late at night every Mondays. It is called Harapan, this show is hosted by Korina Sanchez and Ted Failon. I got to see one segment of the show and they are talking about the metro train project of the President …
Maalaala Mo Kaya Drama
Abs-Cbn Channel is much known for providing good drama series over the years. Though its rival network has produced drama series, many people are still convinced they are not as good as the Channel 2’s. I am here to talk about the “Maalaala Mo Kaya” drama anthology. This is …
Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares La Parra
Gordon Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares La Parra. This is one of our favourite episodes of Ramsey’s Kitchen nightmares as this one is set on the Costa del Sol in a town called Nerja. The restaurant in question is run an English guy who wants to do something different …
Come dine with me
A programme that me and Lyndsey like watching on an evening is Come dine with me. There is an episode on each night of the week. Each night one of the five contestants hosts a dinner party while the other four mark them out of ten the …
Auf Wiedersehen Pet Episode 1
One of my favourite TV programmes is Auf Wiedersehen Pet the first episode in the series is called “if I were a carpenter”. This episode is the very first episode and shows three of the main characters Oz played by Jimmy Nail, Dennis played by Tim Healy and …
Eric from the Howard Stern Show
Eric the evil midget is a daily call in guest of the Howard Stern show, on Sirius satelite radio. Eric is a hilariously funny wack packer. No Eric is not really all that funny, but his interaction with Howard stern, Robin Quivers and Artie Lang is hilariously funny.
Eric is …
What Not To Wear (TLC network program)
I have absolutely fallen in love with this program. Makeover shows have always held my interest. But for some reason this one is such a success in my heart. Perhaps it is because Stacy London and Clinton Kelly (the hosts) are so funny. …
Hulk (2003)

CSI Season 1 Episode 1
CSI Season 1 Episode 1
A nice introduction to the series. Right from the start to we get to see the main characters of the story and what is it exactly that they do. Although they are easy on us and perform some kind of an introduction they also through …
Criminal Minds Season 1 Episode 8 Natural Born Killer
Although this was a great episode, and I loved it- I doubt very much if I will ever watch it again. Unless I have to. In this episode the victim is an undercover cop and when the unsub gets him, he tortures him and the scene is really bloody and …
Criminal Minds Season 1 Episode 17 A Real Rain
That is a good example for a well written episode and many people would agree with it. In this episode the BAU team travels to New York to help solve a case of a serial killer who does not go after the same type of victim. It is unusual for …
Oprah Show
Oprah Winfrey is one of the most success TV personalities out there. Some are even glad to give her the status of a goddess. She definitely knows how to push the boundaries in her show. The show has several topics which are related to the American life. Rarely does she …
Dr. Phil Show
Dr. Phil Show
I must warn you, this show is truly addictive. It might solve your problems, but it might turn you into a hopeless couch potato who prefers to sit down all day and solve life’s problems instead of causing the usual trouble.
In this show Dr. Philip McGraw is …
CSI New York Season 2 Episode 16 Cool Hunter
Although the episode was well written and well executed I was still left with the feeling that it was a bit stupid. The reason why I feel that way, were the crimes themselves, just a sense of human pettiness and stupidity. But then again, it might have been just …
CSI Season 8 Episode 9 Cockroaches
It was a great episode; I loved every minute of it. The story gets all twisted and nothing is certain. And it does not really end. It needs to be continued in the next one.
In this episode the CSI team investigates the murder of a very successful young club …
CSI New York Season 2 Episode 22- Stealing Home
CSI New York Season 2 Episode 22- Stealing Home
A very average episode for the show. There were a few interesting moments, but then the rest was not good at all. It began looking like a really good story, but it died in the middle. I don’t think it is …
CSI New York Season 2 Episode 21- All Access
CSI New York Season 2 Episode 21- All Access
A well written Episode of a great show. In addition to the usual crime solving and mystery story, this one also features Kid Rock as himself. The show starts with his performance and that really pumps the energy right from …
CSI New York Season 2 Episode 12- Wasted
CSI New York Season 2 Episode 12- Wasted
Absolutely loved this episode. Especially the first case. I wonder how the writers manage to think of all these cases. And I wonder how they do the research on all of these themes.
In the first case, the CSI team investigates the …
CSI New York Season 2 Episode 9 City of Dolls
That was an interesting episode and I enjoyed it very much. Although there was something a bit strange about it. I can’t really put my finger on it, but there was something in the details of the story which was a bit bothersome. Yet, with the general themes of …
CSI New York Season 2 Episode 13 - Risk
CSI New York Season 2 Episode 13 - Risk
Yet another great episode of the show. In this episode the team must find the killers in two very different cases. In the first case, Danny sees a body on a the subway tracks while taking a ride home. The …
On the Run- Globetrotter
On the Run- Globetrotter
This is yet another great episode of the show On the Run- the show that tells the stories of real life sophisticated and unusual criminals, most of which love to live the high life on someone else’s money.
