Medium: The Match Game stars Patricia Arquette as the psychic Allison Dubois. She sees symbols on people’s foreheads and if they match, they are soulmates. She’s also working on finding a serial killer at a park.
Jake Weber portrays Allison’s husband, Joe Dubois. He deals with harassment …
Hunter: No Good Deed Ever Goes Unpunished TV show
Fred Dryer starred in Hunter, a show I watched occasionally when it was first run on television. This episode, No Good Deed Ever Goes Unpunished, was from season 5 and guest starred Louise Latham and John Anderson.
It begins with Dee Dee McCall (Stephanie Kramer) showing up late for …
Simpsons - That Birdie In the Window
This was one of those Simpsons episodes that I just say, were they really so out of ideas that they must have just looked out a window and saw a bird and that’s where the idea of the episode came from. Even if the whole idea of using a …
Futurama TV Episode: Parasites Lost
I was watching TV late last night and came across some re-runs of the show Futurama. I haven’t seen this series in a while and was glad they were showing an episode I have actually seen before and love called Parasites Lost.
This episode has Fry and Leela at a …
Trigun Episode 21
Trigun Episode 21 begins in a Project Seeds ship that didn’t quite crash over 100 years ago, the Gung-Ho Guns have invaded, intent on destroying the ship’s residents, who are acquaintances of Vash. Vash and Wolfwood try to stop them and have to face three of the Gung-Ho …
Ghost Whisperer On ION Television
Background Story: The story line revolves around the main character Melinda Gordon (played by Jennifer Love Hewitt). As it so happens Melinda has recently gotten married to a paramedic named Jim Gordon, they’ve moved to a small town called Grandview and Melinda has opened up an antique shop. Sounds pretty …
Third Rock from the Sun TV Episode: I am Dick Pentameter!
Well, that was a fun way to spend lunch; watching an old episode of the show Third Rock From the Sun; I am Dick Pentameter!
I never really watched this show when it was on the air but this episode is one I kind of regretted not seeing before. Basically, …
Peter, Paul, and Mary - Carry it On
I grew up listening to Peter, Paul, and Mary sing their folk music. They were awesome. I watched when they broke up, and then when they got back together. In the last couple of decades, the group has done a number of specials for the PBS …
The Real Ghostbusters episode 24: Ain’t Nasa-sarily So
After two pretty weak episodes, the show comes back in full force and shows us why this cartoon is still as enjoyable today as it was when we were kids. The episode is pretty much “Ghostbusters in Space” and it makes for quite the entertaining story. Part …
Highway Patrol: Magazine Writer TV Show
From season two, Broderick Crawford stars as Chief Dan Mathews in Highway Patrol: Magazine Writer. Crawford talks way too fast. It’s like speed talking. He had multiple moments in this show where he rattles off words so fast I barely know what he’s saying. He …
Sea Hunt: Mark of the Octopus TV Show
Sea Hunt: Mark of the Octopus is told in part as a flashback to 4 years earlier just after Nelson had left the Navy. He was doing underwater resource. I just loved the big sea turtle they showed during this sequence. For me, it’s the views …
John Adams: Unnecessary War TV Show
The sixth of seventh episodes, Unnecessary War continues the mini-series, John Adams, which aired on HBO in April 2008. It’s a complex and involved story of a patriot who is iconic, but who was just a human being full of strength and fallacy. We see the weaker …
Columbo: A Friend in Deed TV Show
Directed by actor Ben Gazzara, who doesn’t appear in the show at all, Columbo: A Friend in Deed has always been one of the outings of this crime drama that I just don’t like. In the first place, none of the guest stars are appealing to me, especially …
CSI Season 1 Episode 16 Too Tough to Die
I really loved this episode. I did not care much for the first case, not because it wasn’t interesting and not because it was not important, but because of all the emotional story behind in. I don’t like it when the writers write some extra sentimental or righteous scenes …
Bones: Tough Man in the Tender Chicken
Well, that was a somewhat interesting Bones episode.
You have the heir to a chicken company winding up dead and tons of possible suspects in the murder ranging from the protesters outside the factory (because they built their homes by it then complained about the smell) to the guy’s wife, …
The Girls Next Door show
How can you not love The Girls Next Door, a show based on the girls and Hugh Hefner. I love this show. It’s mind candy. My fiance thinks it’s funny that I’m female and I have to watch the show every time it’s on. I even have a season …
The Twilight Zone: Ring-A-Ding Girl TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Ring-A-Ding Girl is actually one of my favorite shows from the series, which is surprising since it aired in the fifth year, one which is full of lesser quality productions. This one, though, I’ve always enjoyed and I never tired of seeing it. It’s …
Avatar: The Last Airbender: Book 2, Episode 12: The Serpent’s Pass
After Aang’s latest trip into the Avatar state, he becomes worried about the lack of control and decides to abandon all emotion. It starts off rather subtle, but becomes more obvious as the episode progresses, until he flat out explains the reasons for his detachment.
Katara is naturally …
Adam-12: Log 36: Man Between
Adam-12: Log 36: Man Between is the eighteenth episode from the third season of the TV series which stars Martin Milner as Officer Pete Malloy and Kent McCord as Officer Jim Reed.
There’s a very high strung story as part of this half-hour show. Peggy Webber guest stars as a …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: No Way Back TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea ended its network run with this 26th episode of this final fourth season with a show called No Way Back. This would be the final time that viewers would see Richard Basehart as Admiral Harriman Nelson and my show favorite, David …
TV: Weeds, Season 6
The average fan of “Weeds,” tangled in the murky abyss of a dyspeptic and almost certainly unnecessary sixth season of the Showtime dramedy, will feel about a trillion miles away from everything/anything that made the show enjoyable to begin with. But this is OK, …
Seven days Season 2 Episode 9
There’s really nothing more annoying than when in a show they invent a country in Europe and of course that country has a princess who is in distress and the show protagonist saves the day and the princess, of course, saving that way the whole country, which never existed …
Buzz Aldrin’s debut on Dancing With The Stars season 10
I think watching Buzz Aldrin’s first dance on Dancing With The Stars season 10 was a surprising treat. I’ve followed a lot of the hype leading up to the show, and I didn’t have any high expectations of his dancing skills, but I was surprised, because I think …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Knight TV Show
From June 1962, the fifth season of this successful western series, Have Gun - Will Travel: The Knight was a somewhat odd show to me in the way that it played out. It opens with some fun in San Francisco, at the Hotel Carlton where Paladin (Richard Boone) …
Dance Your Azz Off (Oxygen)
I have seen the premiere of this show and have some mixed feelings. I know that obesity is a big issue in this country (lame pun). But I am having a hard time believing that the people behind this show aren’t trying to somehow exploit overweight …
King Of Queens
King of Queens is only shown in reruns now and I’m thankful that it is. I was working too much during the original run of the series to get to watch it all but now I watch it faithfully Monday through Friday at 5 and 5:30pm and at 7 …
Smallville 8.14: Requiem
There are spoilers so be aware of that before you read the review.
When the episode opened and we saw a chubby man talking to a clown doll, my first thought was “Is that Toyman?”. The answer is affirmative. Like Dan Turpin did a few weeks back, the …
Star Trek: Operation - Annihilate! TV Show
From April 1967, Star Trek: Operation - Annihilate! is the final show of the first season of this science fiction classic from the mind of Gene Roddenberry. It finally gives us a relative of one of the regulars, even though he dies before we meet him. What …
Stargate SG-1: The Fifth Man
Stargate SG-1: The Fifth Man is a fairly entertaining entry for the fifth season of this science fiction series.
John DeLancie returns again as Colonel Frank Simmons, a man on his own agenda. DeLancie is a wonderful actor, who can be delightfully evil and wonderfully playful. He’s very …
Spongebob Squarepants Season One - Naughty Nautical Neighbors
Spongebob and Patrick are enjoying a beautiful afternoon outside blowing bubbles to each other. They think it is a lot of fun, and every time that they blow a bubble to each other, they send a little message to the other person. While this is going on, …
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig Episode 2
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 2 is the strangest episode in the entire Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex anime, in both seasons, because it does not follow any of the main characters, it is not about any of them and doesn’t enhance the plot …
Futurama TV Episode: Hell is Other Robots
I ended up watching one more episode of the show Futurama last night with my daughter (I told her I would before making her go to bed since I hadn’t seen her all day). The episode we watched; Hell is Other Robots, was OK. But, it wasn’t as good …
Warehouse 13
When I was watching Eureka TV continuously I was seeing commercials for Warehouse 13 TV show. I don’t know why but I got the idea that this show was a horror science fiction one and I wasn’t very interested in it. I like science fiction, Eureka is one of …
Scooby Doo Where Are You TV Episode: Bedlam in the Big Top
My oldest daughter has started watching Scooby Doo cartoons on a regular basis; both the newer shows and some of the first episodes from Scooby Doo Where Are You.
The other day, we sat down to watch the episode Bedlam in the Big Top. In this episode, Scooby and the …
South Park: Margereen
This episode is one of the few truly good newer episodes, as it involves many different characters, all acting the way a bunch of nine year olds should probably act. Too often, the writers of South Park treat their characters as though they are grown, and while this may …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Ensign Ro
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Ensign Ro is an episode that I enjoy, although it is an episode that I also have some complaints about. For one, I do wish that the writers would have explained either in this episode or a future episode just what happened on …
The Six Napoleons
I am reviewing The Six Napoleons, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, The Adventure of Sherlock HOlmes, which was produced in 1984 by Granada television. This episode finds Sherlock Holmes assisting Lestrade in a most bizarre mystery. Some mad man keeps destroying the last remaining six Napoleon …
Wagon Train: Little Girl Lost
Wagon Train: Little Girl Lost is a story from the final season of Wagon Train. It’s a little unusual for a western to have this type of story. I think it was perhaps their strange attempt at a Christmas tale since the story aired in Mid-December of …
Warehouse 13 season 1 episode 9 Regrets
I really liked this episode, it was interesting and exciting. There was this character of reverend John Hill, he looked so familiar to me but I just couldn’t remember where I saw him before. It started obsessing me so I went to TV.com to see who he was and …
Tv Show “Raising Hope” Episode 6 “Family Secrets”
I really enjoy watching this tv show because they throw something unexpected at you at each episode. In this episode Hope’s deceased mother who was executed for being a serial killer of boyfriends reappears in video form. After her death her belongings were collected in boxes and …
Eternal Moonshine of the Simpson Mind
Over the past couple of years, episodes of the Simpsons seemed to be weak at best. It seems that, after all the years the show has been on the air, the writers are starting to run out of stories to tell.
The last episode I saw of this, Eternal Moonshine …
M*A*S*H: The Foresight Saga
M*A*S*H: The Foresight Saga is a nice ninth season show that includes Radar O’Reilly, the one time company clerk of the 4077th. While Gary Burghoff doesn’t appear in the show, the camp receives a very upbeat letter from him, written from his hometown in Iowa. Later on, …
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: The Warlord
While Soon-Tek Oh is an incredible actor and does his normal terrific job in Bring ‘Em Back Alive: The Warlord, it’s not enough to carry this show; at least, not for me. In this episode, Oh plays Yataki, the warlord, and he does a good job, as always. …
Stargate SG-1: Chain Reaction
Stargate SG-1: Chain Reaction gives us a closer look at General Hammond’s life. Played by Don S. Davis, Hammond is forced into retirement, and it’s up to Jack to get to the root of the decision.
Meanwhile, SG-1 has been dismantled, with Daniel forbidden to go off-world, Teal’c reassigned …
Jack Frost cartoon
Jack Frost was another vintage cartoon that I saw recently. Unfortunately, I wasn’t quite as enamored with it as I thought I might have been. I love all kinds of holiday films, and it wasn’t that the story wasn’t good as that it wasn’t as complete as …
The Twilight Zone: Execution TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Execution is not an episode I enjoy all that much, and that is despite the fact that I tend to enjoy time travel stories. The setup is that a modern day scientist decides to test out his new gadget and ends up bringing an outlaw …
Stargate SG-1: Solitudes
Stargate SG-1: Solitudes has some great moments in it and continues to be an episode I think of fondly. There’s a lot of angst in it, and we see the determination to survive and to never give up on many of the team’s faces.
A Stargate malfunction tosses Jack …
Supernatural Season 2
Supernatural season 2 wasn’t nearly as good as the first season and it also wasn’t quite as good as some episodes in the third season, but it was still pretty good. The first season ended on a cliffhanger and the first episode picks up right where that one ended. …
Touching Evil: Mercy
Touching Evil: Mercy was the season ender for this show. It began with a more detailed look at David Creegan’s near-death three years earlier. I had thought maybe they were going to focus on that completely and maybe get the shooter, but it was just more background …
Ellen talk show
I think Ellen is a pretty good talk show. I don’t think Ellen is that interesting but she dos have some very interesting and cool guest come onto her show. I think it was really cool when she had Leah Remini on the show. Now I love Leah so I …
