Beverly Hillbillies – An American Classic TV Series
When you think back to yesteryear and think about how life was back in the “old days” you might think about how some of the shows on television used to showcase that life.

Review of Stargate Universe
The idea seems so cool – an ancient space ship, some mysterious “intelligent” signal coming from the start of time that seems intelligent. A mission to find out the answer to everything. All really great ideas. The problem with the series is its plodding, depressing, complex and at time just monotonous. One fatal flaw is there is no really uplifting aspect to the series.
