A show developed by HBO which revolves around a Kingdom with a one Lord who fights to protect the realm, drawn into a web of politics and lies. HBO has invested so much into the show and it is well worth every penny. There is so much to it and I keep waiting for every episode. It is taking place in a medieval realm with snow to the north and so much to do in the realm. My favorite character is Ned Stark who is the leader of the North and you don’t know what to expect from show and I’m loving every episode.

The Borgias chronicles the corrupt rise of patriarch Rodrigo Borgia to the papacy, where he proceeds to commit every sin in the book to amass and retain power, influence and enormous wealth for himself and his family. The unbounded audacity of this original crime family went on to inspire Machiavelli’s The Prince and Mario Puzo’s The Godfather.

Jeremy Irons plays Rodrigo Borgia, the man who becomes the Pope in 1492 and he does what ever needs to be done to retain the power. Jeremy Irons plays the character so well that at times I don’t know if he is a bad guy or just slightly misunderstood, but he is fantastic on the show. This is one of the best shows that I have seen in a while, I’m not the biggest fan of the shows based on the 15th century but this show really shocks you and leaves you on the edge of your seat with anticipation of whats going to happen next and what is involved with the Papacy, if you have seen it then you should watch it.

Will Ferrell has committed to a four-episode arc on NBC’s comedy The Office. He will play a branch manager who comes from the home office and is just as inappropriate as Steve Carell’s Michael Scott character.

I have been following The Office for some time now and Michael Scott is a fixture in the tv show, for 7 seasons he has been one of the core characters of the show and seeing him leave the office feels very strange, it won’t be the same. I was honestly shocked that they got Will Ferrel to play his conterpart, the new manager, and I don’t know how much longer the show will continue but it seems its going to take a different path, and the other day’s episode was pretty good. Seeing the difference of these two guys was very entertaining and I’m looking forward to the few episodes left of the office.

William Shatner as Ed Goodson, a forthright and opinionated dad who relishes expressing his unsolicited and often wildly politically incorrect observations to anyone within earshot. Nobody is immune from Ed’s rants, including his sons, Henry, a struggling writer-turned-unpaid blogger; and Vince , the meek half of his husband/wife real estate duo with domineering Kathleen. When Henry finds he can no longer afford to pay rent to his pretty roommate — and secret admirer — Sam , Ed reveals a soft spot and invites Henry to move in with him. Henry agrees, knowing that the verbal assault will not abate and now there will be no escape. Describing their father/son relationship is tricky – but Ed will easily come up with a few choice words

I really loved the character William Shatner played in Boston Legal even though I didn’t follow the show much, I enjoyed seeing him and his antics. When I heard about the show that he plays a cynical old man and takes shots at people without a second thought, it peaked my interest. This isn’t the hit comedy show of the season but it is very entertaining, the light hearted type of show that you enjoy to watch and honestly Shatner doesn’t disappoint, his witty character shines in this show.

I can’t believe this is real, I thought it was joke when I heard about it but they are really making an animated show about Arnold Schwarzenegger. This style of animation was used back in the 90s, and kids these days have higher expectations, and from the trailer it just doesn’t come together well. They should revamp it and give it a little bit better quality if they want it to be a good animated tv show but right now its just a joke with the music and the ridiculous and unrelated things happening in this trailer.

Soldiers … heroes … outlaws. On the run after being accused of crimes they didn’t commit, six young G.I.s battle to clear their names — and expose the real bad guys, COBRA Industries. The world thinks this giant corporation is the good guys, but it’s really run by evil people who want to rule the planet. It’s up to these renegade Joes to stop COBRA and save the world — and themselves.

I stumbled onto this show by mistake on iTunes, I wasn’t expecting to see a new animated tv show for G.I. Joe and the moment I saw I purchased the whole season, I didn’t even think about downloading it on torrents, I just downloaded right away on my iPad iTunes. For any G.I. Joe fan this show is a new twist on the story, you have young G.I.s who are blackmailed by Cobra and fight to show Cobra’s true colors and clear their names. It has been mordernized for the today’s audience and even old fans will really enjoy it, I’m loving and especially Snake Eyes. The animation of the show is pretty good too, its done in 2D but uses 3D to give the background depth, so the characters feel drawn but certain elements are done in CGI to give it that depth of movement like helicopters or their vehicle, I like this style of animation and its making it even more enjoyable to watch. Its at 15 episodes at this point I’m enjoying every one of them, I can’t wait for the story to develop more. Hasbro is doing a good job of investing in their different productions, I just hope the quality remains as good as it is.

Driven by the fact that there are few things more dangerous than a prisoner who has just escaped, and tired of following protocol and resorting to outdated methods of law enforcement, veteran U.S. Marshals Charlie Duchamp and Ray Zancanelli are taking an unorthodox approach to their work: using former fugitives to catch fugitives

Cons catching cons and its only episode 3 and I’m liking this show, there are few surprises that you will like thrown into the mix. Every con is different then the other and the convicts helping the US Marshalls get time off for helping them catch these cons. Its a really good show and every episode is entertaining, it also seems that there is something brewing in the background, there are more to these characters then what you see so this is one of the fun new shows this season.

I have been talking about the Thunder Cats reboot any time I hear a piece of information or picture, and with the release of the trailer I can’t wait to see the anime. Its taken some time but I hope it gets released this year.

Now this is an interesting development, first it was Iron Man, then they were working on Wolverine, and it seems that X-Men have joined the Anime bandwagon and it looks pretty good. I love that they are catering these cartoons to adults, and from the 30 seconds from the Japanese production company Madhouse its looking good.

Recently I have been watching late night talk shows and used to be a huge fan of Jay Leno. David Letterman is a bit to cheesy, and Conan was a bit too crazy. But after watching the last few shows it seems things have changed a bit, Jay Leno is still a funny guy but Conan O’Brian is insanely funny, he has passed both Leno and Letterman and people are loving the guy. Then there is the George Lopez show, he is a latin comedian who had is own comedy sitcom, and the guy is damn funny and sarcastic as hell. Jimmy Fallon has also improved since his comedy was a little to slapstick but now its more sarcastic and gotten pretty good with the interviews. Conan and Lopez are my two favorite Late Night Talk Shows, and if you have chance you should watch them.

Ranking:

• Conan O’Brian
• George Lopez
• Jimmy Fallon
• Jay Leno
• David Letterman

Kiefer Sutherland’s web series The Confession, about a hit man spilling his secrets to a priest, a thin line between evil and good, premieres in March. I love the Jack Bauer-style whispers in the confessional. This reminds me that I still haven’t watched 24 Season 8 and I have to finish that.
