Judith, Thanks for putting it in a different perspective for me. I thought she was watching a little too intently. I enjoyed Haysbert's work as President Palmer on 24. Nancy, Yes, it is disorientating to see an actor hocking products in the middle of a show he's starring in, but that kind of traces ...

Karie and I recently finished watching the first season of The Unit . I had never seen this show before but had heard good things about it. It is the story of a covert special forces team that doesn’t exist as far as any normal channels go. They can be dispatched to deal with any kind of emergency, ...

There are very few movies that I will watch again without at least a few years seperating my last experience with the film. If I watch any movie too often, no matter how much I enjoy it, it loses that freshness to me and will then alienate me for some time thereafter. The best time for me to watch a...

I finally sat down and watched the new Inspector Lewis show (the first episode). He's a spin-off form the long-running and very popular Inspector Morse series. Morse was a very crotchety, set-in-his-ways old school inspector. He could be very terse with his fellow authorities as well with suspects t...

It appears that the Western Channel will start showing Maverick daily (M-F) on July 7th at 6pm Eastern and at 3pm Western. If they are able to show the entire run of the show sequentially, as they've done with all the other series that they have showcased, than this will be a fabulous find for us Ma...
