Basketball great Wilt Chamberlain was the Man of the Week for this outing of The Dean Martin Comedy Hour, an event that is often sold as The Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts.
Another basketball player of the day, Happy Hairston, was one of the roasters. He actually had some good …
Scrubs The Complete Seventh Season
This was not a bad season. So far, not my favorite, but definitely a good tie-in for what was done and what is to come. The fact that I continue to even watch Scrubs is proof enough that it is both clever, cute, and hilarious enough to win over …
Outsourced: Pilot TV Show
Outsourced, the pilot, is a show I watched along with a bunch of other new Fall 2010 TV comedies just to see if I have misjudged the current style of comedy. You see, I prefer the classics, like The Andy Griffith Show and The Dick Van Dyke Show. …
Friends TV Show
I started watching this show well after it got cancelled. They have stopped filming for a while now but the show was so successful that they still continue to play the episodes. And people still watch them. The main characters are now just doing movies or directing, all very …
Celebrity Apprentice - 3/22/09
I’ve asked it before and I’ll ask it again. What the heck is Dennis Rodman doing on Celebrity Apprentice? If I didn’t know before that the man is a self-absorbed idiot, I do now. His confrontation with Clint Black was childish; except it was also dangerous. …
Friends Episode: Ross Angry at Joey Over Rachel
I find Friends Episode: Ross Angry at Joey Over Rachel very funny and heartwarming. There the two friends, Joey and Ross, and Ross is super angry at Joey for proposing using his grandma’s ring the more. And Joey feeling guilty and all that, decides to explain things to …

Whoopi: Don’t Hide Your Bag TV Show
In a post 9/11 world, things were a bit crazy with the color alert system and concern about unknown packages of any kind. This episode of the new sitcom, Whoopi, which was called Don’t Hide Your Bag, took advantage of American’s fear of terrorism. It puts what …

Columbo: The Complete Second Season DVD set
Columbo fans everywhere were delighted when Universal released the Columbo: The Complete Second Season DVD set. This set is put together differently from the first season one, which is a bit nicer in my estimation.
There are just four DVDs required for the set, since there were fewer episodes …

CSI season 6 episode 19
I didn’t like it a. I found it to be kind of boring. I think it was more of a filler episode than something they put any effort in. It wasn’t bad, it wasn’t boring either, but yet there was something missing in.
I think the reason why it …
The Twilight Zone: The Jeopardy Room TV Show
I’m not real big on The Twilight Zone: The Jeopardy Room, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have its own allure. In fact, the show is different. It’s also very confined with a lot of inaction and I don’t really have the patience for that kind of …
Roseanne Season Six
I really liked season 6 of Roseanne because it was funny and it brought back some of my favorite characters. Mark and Becky came back and ended up moving in with the Conner family. A lot of people hated Sarah Chalke as Becky, but I really liked her. I …
Emperor’s New School: Room for Improvement
One of the ongoing jokes in the first season of the Emperor’s New School is how he had to share the attic with Pacha’s kids while being forced to live as a peasant. So, the episode, Room for Improvement, is quick to get rid of that joke by simply …
Criminal Minds: Remembrance of Things Past TV Show
Criminal Minds: Remembrance of Things Past began with what I thought was just a ridiculous, poorly shot scene. Days of Our Lives’ Mary Beth Evans portrayed Candice DeLilly with Michael Spound of Hotel fame as her husband, Sam DeLilly. I actually enjoyed seeing them. I can’t …
That Girl: The Earrings
Ted Bessell is an absolute hoot in The Earrings episode of That Girl from season three. It’s one of those shows where he really gets to stand out and show off some of his personality. This is the Valentine’s Day show, and Don surprises Ann with diamond …
M*A*S*H: Bottoms Up
M*A*S*H: Bottoms Up gives the viewers a different slant on the usual prankster plots that we’ve seen over the years. This time around Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) and B.J. Hunnicutt (Mike Farrell) pull a prank in the operating room that isn’t funny and turns the camp against him. …

Kaleidoscope on Ice
Presented on Thanksgiving Day in the United States, Kaleidoscope on Ice was the best ice skating show I’ve watched in years. Now that may be because one of my favorite favorites, Scott Hamilton, skated for the first time in six years. Scott has survived two different cancers …
The Singing Bee
Filipinos love music. I guess everyone else does. But music is the most closest to every Filipinos heart compared to other mediums of art. Because of this, videoke (video karaoke) and magic sing microphones sells like rice congee. And television networks have invested in this opportunity by staging singing …
Man vs Food TV show
This is a great show that shows you different foods from all over the world , and the man who is willing to try them all. I love the star of this show. His name is Adam Richman and he has the coolest job ever. He goes to all …
Heroes: A Clear and Present Danger
I’ve been waiting for the return of Heroes since it left. I for one have been enjoying the show right along. There have of course been weak moments just like any show but in general it has worked well as a show and this episode fixed several of the …

Undercover Boss: Chris McKann TV Show
Chris McKann, president of 1-800-Flowers, was the center of the season finale of Undercover Boss. It was interesting to watch for a couple of reasons, one of which was the particular history of this flower company. Chris is the younger brother of the founder and CEO, Jim …
Star Trek: And the Children Shall Lead TV Show
Star Trek: And the Children Shall Lead is truly a show I’ve always remembered. I think it’s because as a kid Melvin Belli scared me to death. The famous attorney was somehow convinced to do this role where he plays this nasty being named Gorgan who …
Monster (Anime)
Sometimes after watching a show like this one, I wonder why does not all anime come in this format. I’ll admit, I’ve almost didn’t see it at all - the pace is rather slow in the beginning and I’ve almost stopped watching before it got its hooks into me. From …
Simpsons: Little Orphan Millie
I hadn’t seen the Simpsons episode “Little Orphan Millie” before tonight and have to say it was pretty good.
This one focuses on Millhouse more than other episodes. His parents, who went through a bitter divorce in earlier seasons, get back together and re-marry. But, on their honeymoon, they fall …
Dexter
Dexter
Dexter is one of the best TV shows out there. Unfortunately some people have a problem with it. There is no doubt that the show’s topic is controversial, but some people miss the important point. This show is a typical hero story, just like Batman or Superman- the only …
South Park: Pee
This episode, entitled “Pee”, was the last episode of the thirteenth season, and offered nothing that made me want to come back for season fourteen. The plot revolves around the kids in town going to a water park that has too many people peeing in its pools. Soon, the …
Stargate SG-1: Rite of Passage
Stargate SG-1: Rite of Passage from the fifth season brings back the character of Cassandra, the alien child from season one’s Singularity, who was adopted by Doctor Janet Fraiser. While I love seeing Cassandra in a new episode, the original actress was unavailable and they chose to recast …
The Twilight Zone: Little Girl Lost TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Little Girl Lost presents a really different story and it’s pretty intriguing. It begins very routinely with parents awakened in the middle of the night by the sound of their little girl crying. When they check on her, she’s nowhere to be found, …
True Blood 3.02 “Beautifully Broken”
The second episode of True Blood’s third season delivers on almost all the promises of the premiere, and is definitely worth watching —“ especially since the action, rather than unravelling slowly, as most series would have it in their second episode, starts off at a break-neck pace, with barely …
The Forgotten: Donovan Doe
One note: this review will include spoilers of the ending so please read on with that understanding.
The Forgotten: Donovan Doe, from March 2010, was an unexpected joy. I am a huge fan of this TV series. As I’ve paid attention through the year, I’ve been disappointed that …
Schinshan
The Schinshan is the name of the TV programme, which is being telecasted in the channel called Hangama. Hangama is a kid’s channel, which is telecasting the programmes in Hindi language. All the programmes of this channel are very good and are very interesting for kids and …
The Jerry Springer show
The Jerry Springer show has run its course and needs to be taken off the air for good and the re-runs never need to be seen again. I can’t understand how this show was so popular for so long.
I can’t stand this show because the show is stupid and …
Doctor Who, Season Five on BBC America
“Doctor Who” is a long-running science fiction series centering around “the Doctor,” an alien species known as a Time Lord with a surprisingly human-like appearance. The Doctor can travel through time and often ends up righting wrongs and setting events right when historic events change from their intended …
Stargate Atlantis: The Daedalus Variations
Stargate Atlantis: The Daedalus Variations begins with the always insecure Rodney McKay (David Hewlett) grousing about Teyla keeping her baby from him. It’s an insane conversation that includes a tidbit about McKay having been dropped when he was an infant. I’m with Sheppard — it explains a …
Laramie: License to Kill TV Show
From November 1960, the second year of this western series, Laramie: License to Kill is one awesome hour of television entertainment. In this episode, a bounty hunter named Sam Jarrett hunts down Jess Harper (Robert Fuller), claiming that he killed a man in Willow, Colorado.
Reluctantly, Jess goes along, …
Gilmore Girls
Characteristic of many a television series coming out of the United States of America, Gilmore Girls has a certain flirtatious appeal about it from a distance, and I am so glad I had nothing better to do, about four or five years back one evening, and decided to sit …
The Fall Guy: The Silent Partner TV Show
I’m afraid that The Fall Guy: The Silent Partner just doesn’t do it for me. In fact, it turned me off the first time I saw it, back in April 1982. Aside from a boring script, I have never been able to stomach Mickey Gilley, not as …
Justice League Unlimited: Hunter’s Moon
I often feel when watching Justice League unlimited that I am missing something. I don’t know if there are episodes, or past seasons which are not being shown or if there is an associated series which preceded it, but it is worst when they are dealing with Shayera.
Her …
