Best Gift I Gave This Year
About a month ago, I found the remastered DVD box set of Season 3 of the original series of Star Trek. I found it in a cheap bin and couldn’t believe that it was priced at $19.99. When the show first came out on DVD years ago, I remember seeing it priced at $199.99. I […]

Teaching Tip – Using Video in the Classroom
There are some amazing videos that you can bring into the classroom to further your students’ knowledge or reinforce what was taught during a unit of study. I limit the amount of video that I use in class, however. I believe that students are over-exposed to video as is, and that if we decide to […]

Nikita Sequel is Brilliant!
Le Femme Nikita has an interesting history. First it was a 1990 French film written and directed by Luc Besson. It was originally titled Nikita but it was released in North America as Le Femme Nikita. I was first introduced to it on video cassette. I still have it. In this film, Nikita was a […]

Boomtown – Awesome TV
I can’t believe that this show almost completely slipped by my radar. It is amazing and one of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time. Unfortunately, it got cancelled five years ago. I had never heard of it before. I saw it in the 2 for $10 bin at the grocery store. I […]

Star Trek: TNG Didn’t Live Up To It’s Potential
This comic book was written and produced before the brand new television series Star Trek: The Next Generation hit the airwaves in 1987. The creators of this comic had to write and produce the book before ever having seen an episode of the show. That’s what makes this an interesting read all these many years […]

Remember The Gummi Bears?
The Gummi Bears is an animated television program that I used to watch when I was a kid. I believe that it started back in the mid 1980s. I used to love this show. I remember that of all the cartoons I used to watch, this was one that my dad would actually go out […]

Why The Olympics are the Best in Reality Television
I have never been a fan of reality television. Most reality shows are so contrived that they don’t even approach anything that even resembles reality. I don’t really have the patience to watch any of these shows and I don’t see how they manage to draw in so many viewers. I have had the opportunity […]

Some Trek is Better Than No Trek
I remember the excitement and energy back in 1991 surrounding the twenty-fifth anniversary of Star Trek. I was really excited about it. Back then, The Original Series was on the air pretty much every day and new movies were coming out regularly. Star Trek: The Next Generation had also really come into its own. Star […]

This Show Really Sings
I don’t watch a lot of television. It’s not simply because of the limited choice I have with the rabbit ears on top of my TV set either. I think it’s due to the fact that most shows seem to let me down. I haven’t had a must-see show in a few years, which I […]
