Dog the bounty hunter season two - baby’s back in town
This show is one of my all time favorites, when Baby Lyssa comes home to live with her dad again. Dog the bounty hunter is very excited because not only is he getting his baby back in the house, she is bringing her little baby home with her, Abby. …
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 …
Diagnosis Murder: How to Murder Your Lawyer TV Show
Quite honestly, I wasn’t as thrilled with Diagnosis Murder: How to Murder Your Lawyer as others might have been. Something about it just didn’t connect with me. I actually wonder if this might have been a pilot for another series. From the start, it felt more …
M*A*S*H: To Market, to Market
I’ve always remembered this episode because it’s just so dang funny. M*A*S*H: To Market, to Market has Hawkeye and Trapper trying to make a deal on the black market to get some much needed medical supplies. Much of the supplies ordered by the 4077th had been stolen. …
Stargate SG-1: The Tok’ra Part 2
Stargate SG-1: The Tok’ra Part 2 concludes the story where the Tau’ri are introduced to new allies, the Tok’ra.
The most dramatic moment comes when Sam’s dying father actually becomes a Tok’ra, allowing a symbiote to join with him. We first met Jacob in the Secrets episode and that’s …
Walking with Dinosaurs: The Giant Claw: television documentary

The Andy Griffith Show: Opie’s Charity TV Show
From November 1960, The Andy Griffith Show: Opie’s Charity is one of my favorite episodes of this terrific comedy classic. It’s just incredibly awesome.
This episode is another one that proves that Sheriff Andy Taylor isn’t perfect in any way. He’s human, and boy, does he make some …
Mad Men
Mad Men is witty and refreshing.
Mad Men is AMC’s latest television series based on advertisers in New York City. It’s based in the 1950’s with “Ad Men” as they call themselves, attempting to find new ways to sell companies.
I had heard bits and pieces of the show from …
Scrubs TV Episode: My Day at the Races
As I mentioned before, I started watching re-runs of the show Scrubs on TV whenever I get a chance (and there’s nothing better on). One of the episodes I ended up watching Sunday was entitled “My Day at the Races.”
This one was actually pretty good. JD is turning 30 …
The Dangerous People
My wife has never seen the show “Alfred Hitchcock Presents” so, since there was nothing else on TV last night I decided to put on a re-run of the classic series. Fortunately, there was a great episode on at the time “The Dangerous People.”
This is one of those episodes …
Mr. Monk and the Magician
There’s only a few more Monk episodes remaining before the show is permanently done. And, I think it is definitely about time. The episode “Mr. Monk and the Magician” is a good reason.
It was an interesting twist having Monk’s neighbor Kevin Dorfman being the murder victim this time around. …
M*A*S*H: Cowboy
M*A*S*H: Cowboy deals with a helicopter pilot who regularly flies in patients for treatment and often gets shot himself, as he did here. While being treated, he lets Hawkeye know that he really wants to go home. Hawkeye is willing to fight for that, but Henry Blake …
John Doe: Manifest Destiny TV show
My first several minutes of John Doe: Manifest Destiny is pretty funny. You just have to feel for John’s fear of flying. We’ve learned the it’s possible that John and potentially others like him may have phobias, so his claustrophobia and fear of flying fits right in.
What’s …
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig Episode 1

Fireball XL5: Plant Man from Space
From November 18, 1962, Fireball XL5: Plant Man from Space gives us a story we’ve seen many times since this episode. In various incarnations, it’s the story of a small seed leading to a plant that looks wonderful, but then proves to be over powering in one way …
Ghost Whisperer the TV Series
I have always found the appeal of Ghost Whisperer puzzling. The fifth season will premier on September 25, 2009. Melinda Gordon (Jennifer Love Hewitt) has the ability to see and talk to ghosts, and she uses this ability to bring closure to the ghosts so that they will cross …
Fame: Expose
I always remember Fame: Expose fairly well, mainly because it guest starred Brian Patrick Clark, best known both for Eight is Enough and General Hospital. He’s always fun to watch, whether he’s a good guy or a villain, and he plays both with equal expertise. He has …
Doctor Who: Season 2 Episode 7: The Age of Steel
After the previous episode, I wasn’t really sold on the Cybermen. I’m still not blown away by them, but my opinion of them as foes of the Doctor has increased significantly.
Really though, this episode belongs to Mickey, who gets to shine after being left behind and then …
Friends Season One - The one where Rachel finds out
It is Rachel’s birthday during this episode, so they decide to have a little get together and Monica’s place to celebrate her birthday and open gifts. Well, Ross is unable to make it to the party because he has to go to China. Well, during the gift opening they …
Cowboy Bebop episode 17
In space, fuel and food does not make itself. A fact that all of the members of the bebop have discovered. Cowboy Bebop episode seventeen is a joke. The title “Mushroom Samba” gives away how badly written the plot is, that it only saves its self with the style …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Road to Wickenberg
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Road to Wickenberg, from season two of the western, has drama, romance, and a few chuckles along the way. There’s also a really good supporting group of guest stars in this episode, and they all play relatives. Harry Carey Jr. …
Death Note Episode 21 (Anime)
Death Note Episode 20 has the third Kira taking an interest in Misa Amane because she was the second Kira. Rem makes contact with Misa and helps her deduce the third Kira’s identity.
This is a good episode and I enjoy it. The clever turns make it …
NBC’s Chuck television show
I’m going to go ahead and review a television show that had recently come to and end; NBC’s “Chuck.” But I’m going to look at it through more of a personal aspect—¦ this show is very easy to relate to, which is what makes it such a pleasure …
Siapa Tak Sayang Bini - Who does not love their wives
I watched a drama on my local channel the other day, Siapa Tak Sayang Bini - Who does not love their wives and it was so darn funny and super awesome. I was watching it with my whole family and we were laughing like mad.
Basically, the synopsis of …
Two and a Half Men
Two and a Half Men is a family situation comedy that has been making viewers laugh since 2003. With its slightly off beat, but yet mostly normal, cast of characters who get great scripts, you almost wish they were your family. That is if you do not want …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Be Not Forgetful of Strangers TV Show
From December 1962, Have Gun - Will Travel: Be Not Forgetful of Strangers is the 15th outing of this final sixth season of the western series. This is, as would be timely, a Christmas story, though it is not overt at first.
Paladin arrives in a town, unnamed at …
Bones TV Episode: The Daredevil in the Mold
Synopsis: Booth and Bones need to piece together what happened to a daredevil who is found on top of a warehouse roof with broken bones and covered in mold.
What I liked about this episode: One of the things that stuck out for me was some of the people riding …
MASH - Season 8
The show really started to take a turn for the worst in this season, starting with the departure of long-time main stay Radar. At least they made a point of writing him off the show, unlike what they did with Trapper John earlier in the series, but after his …
Beast Wars - The Spark
Beast Wars - The Spark is an episode that introduces a new character to the series. It is the third character to be introduced, and sadly, one that never really received a whole lot of attention before disappearing along with another of the recently introduced characters in the season …
Unorthodox : Law & Order SVU
OK, I’ll admit, this was an interesting episode for the most part, but I do have to question exactly why the producers of this show went out of their way to attack the culture of orthodox Jews when the rapist turned out to be a child; not one of …
Legend: Custer’s Next to Last Stand
Custer’s Next to Last Stand is the fourth episode of this Richard Dean Anderson futuristic western from May 1995. As many of the shows do, this one combines some realism with their fiction. As you can tell from the title, it’s George Custer who gets the honor …
The Choir Revisited TV Show
This show takes a look back at the choir that Gareth Malone developed and trained from students of Northolt High School and actually made them successful enough to compete in a world competition in China. They didn’t make it through to the second round there, but they performed, …
Hogan’s Heroes: The Big Record
Well, that was a cute episode of the show Hogan’s Heroes at lunch today; the Big Record; though it was somewhat predictable.
Basically, they are kicked out of the recreation hall so the Gestapo can have an important top secret meeting there. Hogan and his crew want to find out …
Hulk Hogan Celebrity Championship Wrestling
I have seen the show that has crossed the final frontier and essentially ruined television forever. It is called Hulk Hogan’s Celebrity Championship Wrestling.
What is it with television writers. Do they all get stoned one night and think “Hey, let’s take a bunch of has been celebrities and train …
Stars on Ice 2010
This two hour special on NBC highlighted not just what was coming up with the 2010 Smucker’s Stars on Ice Tour, but the past twenty years of Stars on Ice. As someone who has gone to numerous performances, for me, there’s nothing like the past, so this special …
Sense8 (TV series by Wachowskis)
Sense8 is an American Sci-Fi drama TV series with the ambition to do for TV what Matrix did for action films. Sense8 was written and produced by the Wachowskis, so if anyone could get away with such a claim it would be the creators of The Matrix themselves. I don’t …
Blossom
When I was a kid I really enjoyed watching Blossom. Blossom is one of those shows that i think about fondly as a nostalgia type of series. The show at first was about Blossom, a girl who lived with her dad and brother who were adjusting to …
House: Brave Heart episode
Last night’s episode of House, Brave Heart, wasn’t too bad.
After suffering through a long baseball game waiting for it to come on, I was a bit confused at first because it looked a lot like a cop show. But, it turns out the case involves a cop who comes …
American Idol Finals Night
The first night which is about the two Davids–David Cook and David Archuleta–faced the final battle.
Anyway, it was a good face-off. New information were presented. In fact, it was there where I knew that they’ve never been in the bottom three. It has been said that this season is …

That ’70s Show
I grew up in the seventies and when I watched my first episode of That 70s Show, it was extremely nostalgic; it was almost like being transported back in time. The teenagers on that show have the same relationships and experiences that my friends and I had back then. …
Laramie: Glory Road
Laramie: Glory Road is the second wonderful episode of this western TV series. Nanette Fabray and Eddie Albert guest star. Fabray plays the upbeat spiritualist Essie Bright, who travels the land preaching. En route to Laramie, her pianist is injured and Roney Bishop (Albert) volunteers to …
The Andy Griffith Show: Jailbreak TV Show
It’s another example of big city cops not trusting the little Mayberry sheriff’s office in this February 1962 episode of The Andy Griffith Show called Jailbreak. It’s also another use of the ‘Barney thinks he can do everything’ plot device. Combined, it leads to some good comedy, …
Cowboy Bebop Episode 1
Cowboy Bebop is a Japanese anime space western, about a bounty hunter named Spike Spiegel and his pilot named Jet Black. They travel through space collecting bounties in their ship the Bebop. The first episode has Spike tracking down Asimov Solensan, a man who sells a drug …
TV Guide Network
There is one thing that annoys me about the TV Guide network. When I want the channels to scroll faster, I realize just how slow it is. When I am actually trying to read what a program is about, it seems it flies up the …
Sister Wives TV show
Normally I hate Reality TV. To me, it screams of TV producers throwing their arms up and saying “Everything’s been done. We don’t know what else to do”. However, Sister Wives is a pleasant change in the whole Reality TV scene.
Here we have a slight reminder of wholesome …
Adam-12: The Parole Violator
One of the good things about Adam-12: The Parole Violator is that we get an outside look at Pete Malloy’s personal life and see how he contributes to the community in his off hours. In this case, he’s a basketball coach. I like how he approaches and …
