Everybody Leaves (Grey's Anatomy 9x01 Going Going Gone Episode Review)

Well... that was sad.

After the horrific events of last season finale's plane crash, the doctors onboard of the plane try to do their best to live normally and to forget what had happened to them. But for the two of them (with the exception of Lexie who died in the crash), moving on would be really really difficult.

Favoritism (The Middle 4x01x02 Last Whiff of Summer Episode Review)

I think it is safe to say that this premiere episode of The Middle season 4 is better than the entire third season of Modern Family.

Yup, it's that good.

Preggy Gloria (Modern Family 4x01 Bringing Up The Baby Episode Review)

The Emmys are over and while Modern Family has some celebration to do for taking home the Best Comedy Award for the third time in a row, the show is back to business.

The premiere episode of the fourth season of Modern Family began a day after the events of last season's finale. Gloria just found out that she's pregnant and the best day to announce it to her husband is during his birthday.

The Return of the Yellow Umbrella (How I Met Your Mother 8x01 Farhampton Episode Review)

The yellow umbrella has always been one of the biggest clues in the whole mother mystery in CBS' How I Met Your Mother. It has been a few years since we were given a glimpse of this object, and on the premiere of the 8th season of the said sitcom, the famous umbrella appeared once again.

The episode is divided into two timelines: the present and the future. 

The Mindian Project (The Mindy Project Pilot Episode Review)

I am deeply sorry for the title of this review post. I really want to be clever... but it turned out to be a bit racist.

Anyway...

The Mindy Project is starred in, written and produced by The Office's Mindy Kaling herself. This is her way to explore more facets of comedic writing after her years of stint as a writer and actress in her former NBC sitcom.

Moving Forward (The Office 9x01 New Guys Episode Review)

 On the premiere of the final season of The Office, the show finally did something we never thought a mock-documentary show like this would do... the camera men finally interacted with the casts (well, only with Jim and Pam).

I have entitled this review MOVING FORWARD because this is the episode's main focus are the characters' new ventures in life.

Emmy 2012 Dream Winners

The annual Emmy Awards for Primetime Television is very near already so I have decided to give you my dream winners for the ten major categories of the said award show.

Check them out below!

So... What Now (Revolution Pilot Episode Review)

I am really not sure what to feel about Revolution's pilot episode. With all the hype in the show and the credibility of the producers of it, episode one was placed between the lines of mediocrity and quality television. 

So many things had happened in this episode that it became difficult for me to divulge in the characters, especially to Charlie who's obviously the lead star of Revolution. There were fights and battles here and there that it seemed like I am watching a badly written movie where all the writers want is to give a number of unnecessary action packed sequences to the audience.

Tying Knots (Downton Abbey 3x01 Episode One Episode Review)

Are those wedding bells I hear?

Yes it is! Mary and Matthew finally tied the knots in Downton Abbey's third season premiere. But of course, this is Downton Abbey, it will not reach such joyous occasion without some\ bumps and blows along the way.

What Makes a Good Show?

This post will include my criteria of a good TV series. I have to point out that these are my opinions, therefore, some people (or you) might have different reasons on why they watch a particular show/s. 

After watching a lot - i mean a lot - of shows over the years, I got fully aware on what constitutes a show which gives  the viewers top quality TV experience. I became more critical and smart on the things I watch on TV. 

For clarity, I'll rank them from the most important down to the least.

1. Character Development

A mean girl cannot be a mean girl from the beginning until the end. A killer cannot just be a plain killing machine all throughout. How the audience perceive a certain character must change or deepen as the series goes on. These are just some examples of good character development. Obviously, this is solely based on the writers of the show, because if not for them, well.. then there will be no show in the first place. What I look forward to is when characters are constantly faced with circumstances which change their personality: either for the better of for worse. As the show progresses, the audience must able to further understand the characters.

Top 5 Most Favorite TV Series


I've been a TV buff since I was in grade school. I  have seen more than 70 TV shows in my life and I do not regret spending a lot of my time watching these. Of course, in this 70, I included those shows which got cancelled early or those which I just decided not to watch anymore.

Since I am bored, I decided to share to you my Top 5 Most Favorite TV Series. It is unbelievably hard to choose my top 5, but nah.. who cares.

Time Bomb (Breaking Bad 5x8 Gliding Over All Episode Review)



Walter White is, as we all know, is a ticking time bomb. And what's worse about bombs? When you think it will explode, it will not. But when you least expect it... prepare to die.

Disclaimer: If you have not seen the midseason finale of Breaking Bad, do not proceed. If yes, go on!
