Here’s the deal, I watch a lot of TV, one might even say I watch an obscene amount; I watch so much my doctor recently warned me about the health risks, no joke, it happened! Even though I watch so much television there are times when I fail; sometimes I [...]
Are you the kind of person who has four devices hooked up to your flat screen TV and five remote controls to make everything work? If so, have I got some good news for you! There is an invention called the universal remote control; no, this is nothing new, they [...]
As I mentioned last week, we are at the slow beginning of the fall TV premiere season; the following are my picks for new shows this week. Sons of Anarchy (FX 10 PM Tuesday) Bikers, drugs, thugs and Charlie Hunnam, what more could we want? I enjoy this program for [...]
Car TV Part IV - Fast N’ Loud (Discovery 9 PM Mondays) If I was only writing about Fast N’ Loud I would have titled this post “George Lucas, Richard Rawlings and my inner child”; about a year ago I was at Barnes and Noble, browsing as one does, when [...]
Car TV Part III - Wheeler Dealers (Velocity 9 PM Wednesdays) This UK based show is in its tenth year and still going strong; Mike Brewer and Edd China are masters of finding, buying, fixing and selling really cool cars. Unlike Dallas Car Sharks you won’t find late model cars [...]

Today we consider my final recommendation from Bravo, Million Dollar Listing L.A. The personalities on this program are large, and mostly have large egos, but [...]
If you are joining us halfway through our guide, please take a look at my other posts; the first is a survival guide explaining how to get through a certain show you don’t want to watch but your partner loves, the second is my recommendation for an excellent and inspiring [...]
If you happen to be home Saturday night and you think there is nothing on TV worth watching I have good news for you; local PBS member station KQED will be showing The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (check listings for time). This film is well acted by the distinguished [...]
We got the hard part out of the way in our first installment of this series; watching The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Now we will begin taking a look at programs guys will like. Eat, Drink, Love is both new to Bravo and rather good. The series follows a [...]

Greetings fellow television fans, fanatics, addicts and enthusiasts; welcome to our blog about TV for the Press Democrat Online. Together we will keep up with what’s coming up, examine new and existing programs in depth and from time to time take a moment to appreciate programs from the past. In addition, we’ll delve into the deep corners of Netflix and Hulu to recommend shows from around the world. My hope is together we will find enough quality programming to fill our TV viewing schedules and never again utter the words, “All these channels and nothing to watch!”
