By | May 3, 2012

When I was a child in the early 80′s, and back then KTV2 showed the latest blockbusters in a timely manner, there was this show where a guy, Sam, used to live in the shoes of someone from a different time and different problem and try and solve their problems. The only thing I remembered [...]

I had nothing to watch this afternoon so I decided to watch the pilot of a new TV series that we’ve just downloaded called “The Client List”.

In November I wrote about finding two shows that are worth following again: Pan AM and Revenge. I loved the idea of both and I was hooked. Now that Revenge is halfway through I can say its sounding a bit ridiculous in some points. Is it just me or am I watching something like Kill [...]

Even though people download their shows I still prefer the old school method of buying DVDs. The best place to purchase DVD’s is to buy them from HMV as they usually have box sets of entire TV serieses or movies and sell them for amazing prices too! For example I got the entire series of [...]

Do You Remember This Cartoon: Al-Shanakel

By | October 14, 2011

Back in the mid 80′s and right after the huge success of Al-Sanafer, a new cartoon was introduced called Al-Shanakel. I liked it a lot and used to watch it even though they had very weird names “fanaa9, ’3awaa9, 2oo6a?” and that octopus pet the had was really stupid. I also remember them eating brown bread hamburger like [...]

For 30 days we watched that silly show, every single day, while eating cheese qatayef and drinking tea. But we loved [...]
