Shingeki no Kyojin (anime)
One of my favourite anime to watch these days is one called “Shingeki no Kyojin”, which apparently translates to the English “Attack on Titan”. I first heard about it when someone I know who was also interested in Japanese animation, especially those in the action genre, recommended it …
Here Comes Honey Boo Boo (tv series)

Birds of Prey episode 9: Nature of the Beast
Reese’s father makes his return, this time played by Mitch Pileggi. The script hangs a pretty heavy lampshade on the fact that he’s played by a different person. Several characters comment on how different he looks and how he’s not the Hawk that they had known before. …
Birds of Prey episode 8: Lady Shiva
This episode puts focus on Barbara as an old enemy from her past life as Batgirl seemingly returns from the grave. Even if it was just a flashback to showcase the backstory, it was still nice to see Barbara as Batgirl again.
Said enemy is Lady Shiva, …
Breaking Bad: Season 1, Episode 2: Cat’s In The Bag
This episode picks up where the last left off. With the two drug dealers dead, Walt and PInkman have to find a way to dispose of the bodies. You’d think that, since they’re in a vast desert, that this would be a fairly simple matter, but Walt …
Breaking Bad: Season 1, Episode 1: Pilot
There’s been a lot of hype behind this show. I’ve heard nothing but universal praise for it by several people. Not only is it often said to be one of the best shows currently on the air, but many argue that it is the greatest show ever. …
Birds of Prey episode 5: Sins of the Mother
One of the strangest things about this show was the direction that they took with Dinah. It hasn’t been “bad” exactly, just very bizarre. It seems like they could have just used Dinah in her more traditional Black Canary persona. This episode seems like it is …
Birds of Prey episode 4: Three Birds and a Baby
At first, this episode seems like it’s going to be a piece of light-hearted filler as the plot involves the trio of super-heroines suddenly find themselves taking care of a child who was saved by Helena during her patrol.
Criminals may be no match for these women, but they find …
Birds of Prey episode 3: Prey for the Hunter
This is probably the strongest episode of the bunch so far. The writing is getting better and this episode had the strongest villain to date, both literally and figuratively.
My one complaint about this episode is that it seems less like a “Birds Of Prey” episode and more like …
Valentine’s Day - Family Guy, Season 11
It would not be Valentine’s Day without a Family Guy episode making fun of the holiday that is more and more like a money making holiday for retailers then a meaningful event in the lives of couples. The title is Valentine’s Day in Quahog and it is the 12th …
Birds of Prey TV show episode 2: Slick
The pilot for this series was a mixed bag. There was a lot of stuff that I really liked and stuff that I felt was either unwelcome or unnecessary. This episode is a bit more consistent and balanced and it ends up working both for and against …
Birds of Prey TV show episode 1: Pilot
I had been aware of this attempt at a live action adaptation of the lesser known comic that centers around a team of all female superheroes. I finally decided that it was time to finally check it out. Considering that the show only lasted a season, my …

Road to Vegas - Family Guy Season 11
What would a season of Family Guy be without a Road to… episode? They seem to have become part of the infrastructure of a Family Guy season over the last few years and one thing I have noticed is that they are, most of the time, some of the …
Space Cadet - Family Guy Season 11
Family Guy’s 11th season had so many hits and misses, that it was almost painful to see. Strangely, when I saw the title of the 9th episode, Space Cadet, I honestly thought it was going to be about Chris dressing up in a spacesuit and asking Miss Lockheart out …
“Pawn Stars” (tv series)
A couple of months ago, I was sitting in my living room with my family. There was absolutely nothing on tv and after doing some channel surfing, we stopped on a program called “Pawn Stars”. I had never seen this show before, but since that day …
Fruits Basket Anime Series, 2011
Fruits Basket, released in 2011, is an absolutely adorable anime. Most anime are not appropriate for children because of adult themes. There isn’t any excessive cleavage or firearms incorporated into this anime series. I have to warn parents, however, that the heroine’s skirt does ride a bit low, there …

Face Off (tv show)

Roots Mini Series
I am embarrassed to admit that as an African-American I am just now seeing the mini-series Roots for the first time in my late twenties. BET recently had a marathon of it for Black History Month, and I thought it would be the perfect time for me to sit …
Alex Haley Queen Mini Series
Alex Haley’s Queen was my first exposure to any of Alex Haley’s work. The mini-series appeared on television in the early 90s, and even though Halle Berry had been a working actress prior to landing the leading role in the mini-series, I think it was her first breakout role …
Double Divas Reality Show

When I first saw the previews for this show I honestly didn’t know what to expect, but there was …
Walking Dead (TV Series)
I am generally not a fan of zombie movies because they’re ususally very low budget and very terrible. Infact I can count on one hand how many zombie movies I’ve actually liked. The “Walking Dead” is different since not only is it the 1st zombie television series I’ve seen, …
American Horror Story: Asylum Episode 1
Though American Horror Story: Asylum is a fairly popular show, I wanted to warn against it. The show is full of sexual content, and violence. After watching the first episode it is clear that the show relies more on shock value than storyline or suspense building techniques. Think more …
The Big Bang Theory (Tv Series)
One of my favourite television sitcoms to watch these days is “The Big Bang Theory”. I didn’t just hear about it, because earlier on last year one of my best friends used to encourage me to watch it, telling me that I remind her of one of the main …
The Walking Dead TV show - S03 E08 The Mid-Season Finale
The mid-season finale of “The Walking Dead” had a lot going on. The episode leaves you exactly where I hate it, on a cliff-hanger in every aspect imaginable wondering what happens next. What happens to Daryl? (Who really cares about Merle right?) Are the people safe …

Beauty and the Beast TV show
As a person whose a big fan of police dramas and classic love stories, I was skeptical about this show at first; though I decided that it wouldn’t hurt to give it a shot since Kristin Kreuk stars in it. Figured since she was a pretty good actress in …

Anime (Animation) : Kids On The Slope

Comedy Central Roast of Rosanne

ESPN First Take TV show

Doctor Who season 1 episode 1 New Earth
Maybe I am not the best person to say this but I really think this episode was amazing. It wasn’t very spectacular but the idea was really ingenious. If you remember in one of the first episode of the last season the Doctor took Rose to see the destruction …
