Tyler Perry’s Meet the Browns: Season 7
Tyler Perry’s Meet the Browns: Season 7 highlights the triumphs and travails of a family journeying through life’s adventures. From addressing sensitive health issues, such as HIV transmission from a past lover to the shock of a divorced mother becoming a “Cougar”, thereby dating half her age, there’s an incredible amount of activity in each [...]
Being Human: The Complete Second Season (SyFy)
Something is different about season two of SyFy’s Being Human. Maybe it’s finally cast off the burden of living up to its BBC predecessor, but it feels like there’s something more to it. With the first season, the cast has enough charm and charisma to make some of the obviously recycled storylines bearable, but it [...]
Roseanne – Still Relevant and Entertaining!
I must admit, reviewing the Roseanne show, Seasons 3 and 4, has been one of my favorite assignments thus far. Every episode is a delight, whether it’s on the light- hearted or the more dramatic side. She’s loud, she’s brash, she’s strong, she’s Roseanne Barr (Arnold)! Starring in the self- titled sitcom from 1988- 1997, [...]
Lost Girl: Season One
If Joss Whedon is a geek god, then consider Michelle Lovretta a disciple of his work, with her creation of Lost Girl. At first, it may look like Lost Girl is attempting to emulate Buffy’s formula, but don’t let it fool you for one minute. The series stars Anna Silk as Bo, a succubus that [...]
Mad Men – Season 5
I jumped at the opportunity to review the fifth season of Mad Men because I knew I would be forced to finally ask myself a crucial and life-altering question: Why do I like Mad Men? I’m sure there are many people out there who have specific reasons for tuning in to the AMC smash hit [...]
Magic City: Season 1

Set in the late 1950s, Magic City follows the exploits of the Miramar’s manager, Ike Evans (Jeffrey Dean Morgan). He lives at the hotel [...]
Halloween’s Coming: Monsters on TV
Monsters are everywhere all the time in this industry, but never get so much attention as they do in October. As we approach the end of summer and the start of fall, monsters are invading the small screen for your horror enjoyment. Here’s just a few of what’s to come to your television this weekend: [...]
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes – 2 Miniseries
Steven Moffat has ruined me for Sherlock Holmes media. His TV series Sherlock is the yardstick by which all future exposure to the great detective will be measured. So, digging into these old Christopher Lee miniseries, I couldn’t help but wonder how Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman would handle these cases. Fortunately, the cast here [...]
Grounded For Life – The Complete Series
First, let’s talk about the show itself. I vaguely remember Grounded for Life being on the air, and I’m pretty sure I caught a couple of episodes but never really got into it. The premise is simple enough: An Irish catholic couple (Donal Logue and Megyn Price) living in New York with their three kids [...]

The film, based on the popular UK television series of the same name, recently had the biggest opening week ever in the UK for a live action comedy. Already reaching the [...]
