The Virginian: It Tolls for Thee is from the first season of this western series which had the unique honor of being 90-minutes in length when airing. Overall, it’s not a series I’m that crazy about, but some episodes aren’t too bad.

The Virginian: West was a little odd in some ways, at least, for me. Then again, I’m not a huge fan of this TV series anyway. Doug McClure’s colorful and lighthearted character of Trampas was at the center of this 90-minute episode. For some reason I …

This episode is almost a cast reunion. JD and Elliot are featured and there are cameos by both Jordan and the Todd.
Aside from Elliot’s general unlikable personality, the episode is solid. Both the veterans and the newbies bring in a fair share of humor. It was …

CSI is a long-running series that is very popular all over the world. My main likes for this show is the actors and the fact that you don’t have to see all the episodes to know what it going on. The actors are pretty good, and although they might …

I recently bought the complete collection of Shakugan no Shana season one. As a devoted anime fan, it takes quite a bit to really impress me. “Impress” is not strong enough of a word to describe my reaction to Shakugan no Shana. It has instantly displaced Bleach, Naruto, Buso …

The cold open has Batman flying a plane in World War 2. There’s not really any explanation, but Batman has time traveled before so it’s not too outlandish. He teams up with Enemy Ace to defeat..aliens I guess. I’m not sure, there wasn’t much in the …

There were three major stories going on …

OK, I have to say last night’s episode of Family Guy was a bit corny but still somewhat interesting.

Regis talked a bit …
