Judy Manning

Dream chaser extraordinaire! Judy tends to be a tad sarcastic and kind of goofy! She is an avid admirer of all things supernatural, paranormal, celestial and mystical. She loves to read, write, and watches way too much TV. She enjoys many genres of film and music (and let's be honest, most music from the 80s). She also has a wicked sweet tooth. Cupcakes beware.

Review: Camelot, Season 1, Ep 104 “Lady of The Lake”

Review: Camelot, Season 1, Ep 104 "Lady of The Lake" 1

I am beginning to fall in love with this version of Camelot! It’s not the like the stories I’d heard growing up about King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Starz has created a truly grown-up version and I am relishing in its tenacious grip. It evokes a sense of darkness and coveting I’ve never experienced in any other retelling of the tale.

Review: Bones, Season 6, Ep 18 "The Truth in the Myth" 2

Could the elusive and mythical Chupacabra be real? Could the elusive and mythical Chupacabra be real? There is no shortage of tales regarding its existence, but Brennan (Emily Deschanel) doesn’t believe it’s real despite the strange circumstances surrounding Lee Coleman’s (Leigh McCloskey) death. And butterflies eat dead people?

Review: Justified, Season 2, Ep 10 "Debts and Accounts" 3

Someone is trying to kill Raylan. Could it be the Bennetts in retaliation for Coover’s (Brad William Henke) untimely demise? Or could it be the Miami cartel coming back for revenge? “Debts and Accounts” is busier than a one-armed bandit! There is so much going on in this episode and it’s chock full of surprises.

Review: United States of Tara, Season 3, Ep 3 – “The Full ‘F*** You’ Finger”

Review: United States of Tara, Season 3, Ep 3 - "The Full 'F*** You' Finger" 6

With a variable “hoard” of things going on in “The Full ‘F*** You’ Finger,” it’s hard to focus on a main storyline. Everything seems to have significance in future episodes. I guess the one that catches my attention the most is Max’s (John Corbett) mother Sandy (guest star Frances Conroy), who is a hoarder.

Review: Bones, Season 6, Ep 18 - "The Feet on the Beach" 8

Ah, the sweet stench of ‘de-FEET.’ “The Feet on the Beach” – after seven pairs of dismembered feet wash up on the shore of the US-Canada border, Booth (David Boreanaz) and Brennan (Emily Deschanel) run into some interference when a one of the pairs ends up on the Canadian side.

The Borgias is a rich, delicious, seductively decadent feast filled with devious and treacherous gluttony sure to satisfy even the blandest palette. Showtime delivers! The Borgias is absolutely engrossing and addictive. I couldn’t stop watching!

The antics Winona and Raylan get into trying to return the money to the evidence locker borders on intense lunacy and slightly comical. Boyd gets a new job when Black Pike mining company rep Carol Johnson asks him to join her security detail.

Syfy is one of my all time favorite channels. I love their original programming and now they are unveiling the largest original programming slate in history, featuring 14 new series and events.
