TV Reviews
American Idol Show
I first loved watching this show because first, the judges are simply crazy, funny, and amazing! Second, there are really lots of talented contestants out there, plus we all get to watch crazy bonuses in which other “contestants” really think they are Mariah Carey or Celine Dion, maybe in …
True Blood 3.5 “Trouble”
The fifth episode of True Blood’s third season, “Trouble”, unfortunately proved to me once again that this season lacks the steam of the previous season. This might be due to the large number of subplots; despite the recent merging of some of them, namely the overly creepy Franklin being …
Law & Order SVU: Pure
Even though the Law & Order SVU episode ‘Pure’ was made about two years ago, last night was the first night I had a chance to actually watch it. And, I have to say, I was really impressed by it.
Martin Short plays the bad guy; who at first seems …
Eureka! opening credits Show
The opening sequence for Eureka!, the new series on SciFi, unfortunately fails to do what opening credit sequences are designed to do.
The sequence consists of three parts: first, the credits themselves, which tell you the name of the show and the name of the primary cast members. Second, …
Stargate SG-1: Space Race
Not everyone loves Stargate SG-1: Space Race as much as I do, but I just think this whole show is a hoot. I remember going into it that I thought I wouldn’t like it, that there wouldn’t be much of Jack and Daniel. It was definitely touted …
The Two Coreys: Episode 1.8 - Fly Away Haim
In the finale of the first season, Haim makes Joanne (wow, she’s back!) breakfast and screws up the kitchen in the process. What a lovely surprise this is for Susie and Feldman when they discover it that way. However, looks like the breakfast was all for nothing as Joanne …
Fame: The Sell-Out
From 1982, Fame: The Sell-Out focuses on a couple of unrelated plots. In the first, Bruno’s dad accidentally short circuits a piece of his son’s equipment at home and when he replaces it, he does so with the best. This upsets Bruno because his taxi-driving father is …
60 Minutes tv show
There is one part of 60 Minutes that I enjoy after all of these years, and it is Andy Rooney. His ten minute blip at the end of the show is usually far beter than the entire hour that the show airs. Andy has that comical gift …
The Divinity Cluster (Starhunter Episode)
Starhunter is one of my favorite television shows ever. Why I have no idea, there is no real surface reason to like it. In terms of writing, acting, special effects, etc., etc., it is all sub-par. But there is some special charm about the Starhunter universe …
Family Guy TV Episode: Mr. Saturday Knight
I have seen bits and pieces of the Family Guy episode “Mr. Saturday Knight” before. But last night was the first time I actually had a chance to watch the entire thing. And, overall, I think it was a pretty good episode.
Basically, Peter is feeling depressed because he hates …
The Office: Goodbye Toby
The final episode of season 4 of “The Office”, this episode was a nearly flawless episode. It is centered around Toby’s last day at work, and the amount of joy that Michal takes from that is the center of the episode. Every member of cast had their moments.
With Toby …
South Park The Complete Third Season
The television show South Park follows the lives of 4 young boys growing up in the town of South Park, Colorado. This 3 disk DVD collection features the episodes that were originally aired from April of 1999 to January of 2000. Even though all 17 episodes in …
Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares
The other night Lyndsey and I watched an episode of Ramsey’s Kitchen nightmares which was based around a small family run restaurant called Morgan’s in Liverpool.
The restaurant was owned by a mother and her two daughters and used to be the mother’s antique shop before being converted into a …
Stargate SG-1: Forsaken
Stargate SG-1: Forsaken introduces the Hebridan race to the Tau’ri, though at first it’s believed they are the enemy.
SG-1 finds a spacecraft stranded on a planet. They agree to help the people who claim to own it get the ship up and running again. Essentially, the team …
That ’70s Show
That ’70s Show is a really good show. It’s also amazing that is was on the air from 1998 until 2006. This makes it a very long lasting TV show. I think the idea and concept of the TV show is great. I like how they made a show that …
Jessica Soho’s Show
I have never followed any show that is produced by GMA TV channel 7. I obviously am a follower of the other network - their rival named ABS-CBN; however, the time I had nothing else to watch but the show of Jessica Show, I immediately liked it. The show …
Stargate SG-1: Last Stand
Stargate SG-1: Last Stand concludes the action begun the week before in the episode entitled Summit.
Here Daniel, or Pajama Boy as many have teased based on the outfit he wore, has gone undercover at a System Lord summit with the unrealistic goal of releasing a toxin into the air …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 1: Ghosts R Us
When Time Life announced that they were going to be releasing a box set of the entire “Real Ghostbusters” series, I pounced on it. I grew up on the cartoon and have been a fan of the franchise for years. For some reason, I had never actually …
Americas Next Top Model: Francesco Carrozzini TV Show
Americas Next Top Model: Francesco Carrozzini begins with the models going to the Grammy Museum and freaking out at the various items there, especially one that had belonged to Michael Jackson. The winner of the opening challenge would be one of the Grammy gals who hand over the …
The Jeffersons (TV Show) - Marathon Men (Episode)
“Marathon Men” is an episode of “The Jeffersons” that features George and Tom preparing for a many mile race that is being held in about a week after George and Tom get into an argument over who can beat who in a race. I didn’t really find the plot …
The Virginian: The Dark Challenge TV Show
The second episode of the third season of the NBC ninety-minute western series The Virginian is called The Dark Challenge. Doug McClure, who plays Trampas, is the primary lead in this outing, though most of the regulars appear at various points. There’s even a song performed by …
Sex Revolution on VH-1
Sex: Revolution was a five part series airing on VH-1 that detailed the history of the sexual revolution in the United States starting in the 1950’s. I’m not exactly sure when the series first aired because I never heard of it before, but when they showed all five episodes …
That Girl: The Night They Raided Daddy’s
That Girl: The Night They Raided Daddy’s has Lou Marie (Lew Parker) telling his daughter, Ann, that he’s going to retire. Not believing that her father is ready to get out of the restaurant business, Ann does some digging and finds out that the restaurant has been having …
Monk
It’s been a while since they had a fresh new episode of Monk and I was really impressed with the fact they got Howie Mandel to play the role of a cult leader. But, overall, this was a bit of a disappointment. I guess I expected a lot more …
John Doe: Family Man TV show
Much of the focus in John Doe: Family Man is on Detective Frank Hayes (John Marshall Jones) who is dealing with an impending divorce and custody issues. It’s that same old thing about a cop’s job interfering with family life. While I have sympathy, I also think …
Laramie: Dark Verdict
When I watch Laramie: Dark Verdict, I can’t help but think about actor L.Q. Jones, who plays a friend of Jess Harper’s. At one point, his character is about to be hung. The reason I remember this is because I have some photo proofs that were taken …
That 70s Show TV Episode: Hot Dog
I had a few minutes to watch TV yesterday afternoon while our pizza was cooking and ended up watching a re-run of That 70s show. The re-run was of the episode Hot Dog; the episode where Eric proposes to Donna.
This is actually a pretty good episode because I remember …
Bones: The Pain in the Heart
Sometimes a clever twist at the end of a season finale is a good thing for a series. Other times, like in the case of the show Bones, it might not be such a great move.
I missed seeing the season finale, The Pain in the Heart, when it first …
Stargate SG-1: Bounty
Stargate SG-1: Bounty gets mixed reviews, which isn’t that all surprising as season ten starts to wrap up. In this episode, Netan of the Lucian Alliance puts out a bounty on SG-1, all of whom are on downtime of some sort of another.
The oddest segment is Mitchell returning …
Tales of the Gold Monkey: Trunk from the Past
Tales of the Gold Monkey: Trunk from the Past is an intriguing entry for this adventure series. It brings in Egyptian lore and archaeology, so that’s a plus for me. Though the overall tale is interesting, I’m really tiring fast of Sarah’s screeching. For a spy, …
Adam-12: Log 88 - Reason to Run
From season three, the 25th episode of the year called Log 88 - Reason to Run is one of my all time favorites for this police drama.
Officer Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) and Officer Jim Reed (Kent McCord) drop by a riding school run by Slim Berkeley. One of …
Ncis Season 7 epiosde 2 Reunion
In this episode the case is totally in the second plan, I don’t even remember what it was all about. It started at a bachelor party when the stripper entered a hotel room and found everyone dead. The team realised that the bachelor party was a cover story because …
FOX Channel
FOX is one the channels we see the most at our house.
The truth is that with the filth that is television today, getting a package that incorporates new pay channels including the Fox channel is a good start.
The scheduling of this television chain for series is one or two …
Monster Episode 16 (Anime)
Monster Episode 16 begins with Nina Fortner trying to rescue the Turkish woman calling to her for help. She leaves her room and is horrified to discover that all the men who were in the building were murdered. Meanwhile Dr. Tenma meets General Wolf who had once saved …
Star Trek: Voyager - Parallax
“Parallax” is an episode that I enjoyed quite a lot, not so much for the science fiction aspect of the story which I actually found pretty dull and loaded with a lot of talk that didn’t quite make much sense to me since it was all talk that centered …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Jar TV Show
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Jar is one of the weird ones that I just don’t like much at all. One viewing was one too many, but I actually watched it twice anyway. The Jar aired in January 1992 and featured Jennifer Dale as Thedy, a self-involved, …
M*A*S*H: Bottle Fatigue
I was really happy to see M*A*S*H: Bottle Fatigue come along towards the end of the eighth season of this astounding comedy series. There is an earlier episode where they’d had a chance to really deal with alcoholism, but didn’t. It left me with a bad taste. …
Ghost Hunters: Red George & Valentown Museum
Another season 2 episode of Ghost Hunters and another disappointment for me.
Once again, the TAPS team is called in to investigate a house (which are always a waste of time) only, this time, we get to see Jason’s hometown in the process.
Most of the evidence is quickly debunked (the …
Breakthrough with Tony Robbins Episode 4
Breakthrough with Tony Robbins Episode 4 deals with Scott and Mandy Smith who are dealing with Mandy’s panic attacks after their daughter died for a short time after she accidentally ran into the back of the car with her go cart.
This was a very sad episode because of …
Midsomer Murders: A British TV Series
Once in a while I would sit down to a British TV show and enjoy myself for a few hours. I find British shows to be interesting, even though it starts a little bit slow, but slowly becomes very riveting as the story unfolds. I like them for the …
That 70s Show: Backstage Pass
I got home in time last night to watch some re-runs of That 70s Show, including one I haven’t seen before; Backstage Pass.
This one was actually a pretty funny episode; well at least part of it was.
I wasn’t a huge fan of the part involving the friends trying to …
Ninja Warrior G4 TV
The Ninja Warrior competition takes place in Japan, where one hundred would-be ninjas (average, everyday people, in fact) arrive at Mt. Midoriyama to compete for the title. Japanese viewers have been tuning in to these taped specials for a decade now.
Here in the United States, we have a slightly-altered …
Sea Hunt: Submarine Explosion TV Show
The 16th episode of Sea Hunt’s third season on TV was called Submarine Explosion, and it’s a story that has some potential nasty ramifications for deep sea diver, Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges). The ex-Navy frogman has signed on for a dangerous job, that of laying out underwater explosives …
The Virginian: The Long Ride Home TV Show
The Virginian: The Long Ride Home was the first episode of this long running western’s 8th season on NBC. It aired in September 1969 and did facilitate another casting change. Out was David Hartman and in was Tim Matheson. I’m not convinced it was a …
TV Patrol World
This is ABS-CBN’s prime time news. It is shown every 6:30 and ends around 8:00. It features news anchors, Julius Babao, Karen Davila, and Ted Failon.
The show can be divided into various parts. The first part is the most pertinent headlines of the day. It also has …
Comcast Cable
I have been a customer of Comcast Cable off and on for roughly the last 7 years or so, dependent upon what deals they are currently offering. In the past, I have had no real complaints with the service other than the fact that their rates tended to …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Everyman TV Show
The fourth season was ebbing towards its last fourth when Have Gun - Will Travel brought viewers a show called Everyman. It’s a bit of an odd tale, one mixed in the belief of the tarot cards, which is often controversial.
The San Francisco opening had Paladin (Richard Boone) …
Medium Season 4 Episode 15- Being Joey Carmichael
Medium Season 4 Episode 15- Being Joey Carmichael
This was another spooky and bizarre episode of Medium. It was intentionally confusing and strange. The whole show deals with the paranormal and the bizarre, but I think this episode has done an extra good job at weirding me out. Usually …
Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson
The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson is a late night show. This show usually comes on the same time Conan does, well I guess it would be the Jimmy Fallon show now. I love Craig Ferguson since the first time I caught his show. He doesn’t always have …
