Grey’s Anatomy, I’m looking forward to this program for three reasons; first, I get to spend some time with a couple of my best female friends who watch this program religiously and have invited me for the premiere. Second, I have liked Patrick Dempsey since he was a young star [...]
The Big Bang Theory is probably the best mainstream comedy on TV, it has broad appeal and critical acclaim and it is well deserved; the cast is highly talented and the writing is brilliant. Most of all, I am looking forward to seeing the future evolution of Sheldon and Amy’s [...]
I have been a Family Guy fan from day one, you know, back in the Lacey Chabert days. The series is now starting its twelfth season and promises to continue the same irreverent, sometimes ghastly, style of humor that is its lifeblood. There is, however, a mystery brewing as early [...]
I’m not choosing this series because I need another cop show to watch, my viewing schedule is well full of those, in fact I may be trimming some as the year goes on. I’m watching this program because, even in a wheelchair, Blair Underwood is freaking cool! Seriously, there really [...]
International criminal conspiracy, terrorism, intrigue, FBI profilers, national security, justice, and James Spader, to use a cliché; they had me at hello. I looked everywhere for a preview version of the pilot episode and was unable to find one so I was forced to watch and re-watch the previews available [...]
For a TV fanatic such as myself the summer can be a trying time, often devoid of quality programing it can seem to drag on and on; the reward for my suffering is the fall premiere season with its glorious hours upon hours of new and returning shows. I am [...]

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 [...]
