Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: I Love You Molly McGraw TV show
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: I Love You Molly McGraw starts out with some animal angst, which I never enjoy watching. It’s Evan’s horse, Diablo, who develops a leg injury and might have to be put down. Then it’s new vet, Molly McGraw (Ann Dusenberry) who operates and …

M*A*S*H: Point of View
M*A*S*H: Point of View is a really unique and interesting episode of this series. The entire story, from fade in to fade out, is told from the eyes of Private Rich. Every angle and every view is from his perspective. What an ingenious idea someone came …
Fullmetal Alchemist TV show
This may seem like your standard action genre anime show, but it has a surprising depth. Edward Elric is an alchemist prodigy who paid the price for trying to bring his dead mother back to life. He lost an arm and a leg, and his brother lost …
The Berie Mack Show
The Bernie Mack show is just great. I loved this show since the first time I saw it on TV. I now watch this show ever day. As you know Bernie Mack is a comedian and he is very funny. In the show he gets really crazy and wild.
The show …

Simpsons Treehouse of Terror XV
A short while ago, I commented that the later Simpsons Treehouse of Terror episodes aren’t anywhere near as good as the earlier versions.
I was wrong.
I got a chance to see Treehouse of Terror XV last night and was very impressed with the quality of the Halloween special that has …

The Simpsons TV Episode: To Surveil With Love
I had nothing better to do this afternoon (other than keeping my daughters from killing each other because they both wanted to sit in the same chair at the exact same time), so I decided to sit down and watch an episode of the Simpsons on TV. Not a …
Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn: Hot Sauce TV Show
Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn: Hot Sauce was another good outing, even though it wasn’t totally my style. The thing is that I really like watching Lucinda. She appears just like any common, everyday woman. Her kitchen set isn’t pretentious. Yes, it has all …
Moesha
Moesha is a pretty cool TV show. It’s about a girl named Moesha who is played by the singer Brandy. She is pretty cool and funny. I like this show because Moesha is always faithful and good to her friends. She always teaches us that friends come first in life. …

Red Dwarf: TIkka to Ride
I don’t fully understand what the title “Tikka to Ride” means but then I have always suspected that there is quite a lot in Red Dwarf that I am missing. This is the first episode in Series 7 and though there are considerable stupid things in any episode …
Remembering THE CONTENDER
Our whole family watched every episode of THE CONTENDER. Even the replays whenever we had the chance. I must say, we all experienced a very deep and wide scope of emotions watching the CONTENDER than we did watching any other reality show.
I guess one reason is because a vast …
That Girl: Black and White and Read All Over
In That Girl: Black and White and Read All Over, Lou Marie (Lew Parker) finds out that Don Hollinger (Ted Bessell) has written a novel. Don’s a little depressed since he’s had 12 rejections that day. The novel was actually completed in the first season and resurfaces …
TV Show : ICarly
Since having my girls my life has been fulfilling and wonderful. But I would be lying if I said I didn’t get tired of endless reruns of the most popular shows on channels like Disney and Nickelodeon. I have seen so many episodes of shows like The …
Boston Legal Season 2 Episode 16

Mork & Mindy: Mork Runs Down
I remember seeing the episode of Mork & Mindy “Mork Runs Down” when I was a kid (and before this was a show in re-runs) but didn’t remember a whole lot about the episode until seeing it again today.
While not a great episode, it still was good enough to …
MASH - Season 6
I think season 6 is the season the show started to jump the shark a bit and it was probably time. There were several good episodes out of this season but many of them had a re-hashed plot (a major who gets his soldiers killed, marital problems, etc).
The season …
Ghost Hunters: Mishler Theatre
As I mentioned before, my wife and I are watching the first season of the show Ghost Hunters on DVD and watched the second episode, Mishler Theatre, last night.
This episode really wasn’t the most interesting when it comes to paranormal phenomena. They didn’t find any evidence of anything at …
Channel News Asia
Channel News Asia is a good TV station program. Actually this local channel in my country is called Channel News Asia, and this is one of my hot favorite TV channels of all time. I think across the continents, perhaps people might be able to access this, though …
Ice Road Truckers: New King of the Dalton TV Show
The season finale of Ice Road Truckers was called New King of the Dalton, which gives away part of the story from the beginning. Obviously, the laid back veteran Jack Jessee wasn’t going to be the king of the road again with this episode moniker.
A good part of …
M*A*S*H: Out of Gas
This is actually the first of three episodes from December 1978 that gave a strong role to William Christopher as Father Mulcahy. This initial outing is M*A*S*H: Out of Gas, and it comes about because the 4077th has run out of sodium pentathol, meaning they have to use …

Daytime TV: The Young and Restless
When I was younger, I watched four soap opera’s while I was a stay at home mom. The Young and the Restless was part of that line up although I must say that I only watched half of the show. If I watched the entire thing, I would miss …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Incident at Borrasca Bend
The 27th episode from the second season of Have Gun - Will Travel is called Incident at Borrasca Bend, and it’s a pretty offbeat one at that. I’d call it a bumbling comedy outing that has limited appeal. A bearded Paladin ends up in the wrong …
Bravo
Bravo is a channel that I occasionally watch on television. The thing that I like about the channel is that it has some good shows on it. The thing I don’t like about the channel is that is plays the shows over and over. One day they will have …
M*A*S*H: Dear Mildred
Alan Alda directed M*A*S*H: Dear Mildred, a fourth season episode of this long running comedy series. I’m not positive, but I believe this is the first show Alda directed. It’s a familiar theme, the letter home, and this time it’s written by Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) …
Sa Re Ga Ma Pa
Sa Re Ga Ma Pa is one of my favorite programs in Zee Tv. The main motto of the program is to bring out the talents in youth. It is basically a music competition. The panel selects few talented youths to contest on the stage among the lacs of …
The Catherine Tate Show - First Series
Mainstream female comics are few and far between. Certainly, there’s more than a few going strong amongst notable comedy groups and the likes of Victoria Wood, Julie Walters, Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders have all brought us some downright fine entertainment over the years, but since Dawn and Jennifer …
Saturday Night Live Still Lives Large
This past Saturday, I could not get to sleep for the life of me. Tired and frustrated, I opted to turn on the television and see what was acutally on at that time of the night. To my pleasant surprise, Saturday Night Live was on. I …
Military Channel
When it comes to cable television there are more choices today than ever before. It wasn’t too long ago that 40 channels were considered a massive volume of channels to have access. Today, there are several thousands of channels that cater to virtual any taste. One of the more …
Junkyard Wars
You can never think of how useful junk could be, before you watch junkyard wars ! The useless looking cars, with antique looks, and parts missing, can be combined with intellect and passion, to make a competitive assembly of sports car, and the machinery can even be used for make …
The Real Ghostbusters episode 22: Venkman’s Ghost Repellers
This episode had the makings of an enjoyable adventure, but for some reason, the pieces just didn’t click with me. We once again have a family member of the Ghostbusters arriving on the scene to stir up some sort of trouble. In this case, it’s Peter’s dad …
Designing the Final Frontier featurette
This production piece called Designing the Final Frontier was another very intriguing look inside the world of Star Trek. It focused on the design elements, of course. Matt Jeffries is interviewed in late 2002. A few things stuck out in my mind.
One was the naming of …
Eli Stone
Who is Eli Stone? If you are not watching the ABC network on Thursday nights than you probably have no idea. Eli Stone is the main character of a show with the same name. Eli just recently found that he suffers from an inoperable brain aneurism. It all started …
Beast Wars - Feral Scream, Part Two
Beast Wars - Feral Scream, Part Two is an episode that suffers from the same problems that the first part did and quite unfortunately the problems are actually worse this time around. Visually, this episode is also not as impressive as the first part mainly occurred during a thunderstorm …

Dick Van Dyke’s Dr. Mark Sloan finds himself the foreman on a jury in Diagnosis Murder: Murder in the Courthouse. The case is being prosecuted by Patricia Purcell, portrayed by special guest star Dixie Carter. However, this isn’t a show about the jury coming to a verdict. …
Family Guy: Play it again, Brian
Sometimes I really have to wonder about the dog, Brian, on the show Family Guy. Some episodes he reminds me of a sophisticated, well-educated person I know. Other days he reminds me of our family cat; who seems jealous of me when it comes to my wife (we affectionately …
Sea Hunt: The Octopus Story TV Show
Sea Hunt: The Octopus Story, a story from midway through the fourth season, its last on the air, was pretty much what it said — a story about an octopus, or should that be octopi. After all, we have multiple creatures in this half hour tale.
This story from …
Tales of the Gold Monkey: The Sultan of Swat
I said in my review for this show that the adventure series has lost some of its shine from its first ten episodes or so, and that’s really true. There’s a stretch of a few shows here, all in a row, that are just so-so. This is …
Wagon Train: The Zeke Thomas Story
Wagon Train: The Zeke Thomas Story is just a little too soap opera for me, considering this is a western. Basically, a man and his wife are traveling on the wagon train when they bump into a woman who turns out to be the man’s first wife, thought …
