WHen I was younger and still had not graduated high school, my younger brother would watch cartoons on Saturday mornings and after a while one of those cartoons I noticed was a show named “Butt Ugly Martians”. The first time I heard of it was when I saw him …

The television series “Cow and Chicken” was one of the most popular cartoons on the cable television channel Cartoon Network from the late 90s to the early 2000s. I can remember most of my friends liking it and having discussions about it even in high school. I didn’t like …

This episode was a masterpiece but the idea of people playing Russian Roulette while other betting on who dies first is not only scary and terrible but disgusting too.
Don’s team has to investigate suicides of many man and they realise that something is wrong and that the suicides aren’t …

Inside Edition is like picking up an issue of The National Enquirer at the supermarket or some other tabloid. It is purely tabloid TV. Anyone who thinks they have an alien baby, has seen a flying saucer, or dog can speak Chinese will be on this show. Despite the …

If you’ve neither seen nor heard of this show before, on the surface, it might seem like nothing more than a quirky sitcom. I myself have known people to write it off as a dysfunctional family living in a funeral home, but if they’d taken the time to watch at …

As Vala tries to leave, Daniel makes sure she is thoroughly searched. One of the …

One of the things I’ve always remembered about the filming of The Twilight Zone: Third from the Sun is how the show is filmed. It’s the camera angles that really give it a warped feel. It’s vital for the story and it puts the viewer off guard.
The …

One of the things I liked about this television show was the introduction. Of course I also liked the plot and I guess I can say that it is one of the most interesting X-Files episodes I have ever seen. In a way the fictitious show “Dumbass” in …

The 12th episode of season 2 of The Vampire Diaries called “The Descent” was very moving and one of the most emotionally memorable episodes of the entire show. Not only does a myth about werewolves and vampires come to light, but the characters of Mystic Falls are in for …

As fans were well aware of Tennant’s upcoming departure from his role as the Doctor, Davies decided to have some fun with the idea. We first saw this with the fake out regeneration in “The Stolen Earth/Journey’s End” and the idea continues here. The title is misleading …

I was never a fan of Hank Aaron, but I have to say that he’s an example of what a Hall of Famer should be in baseball. Watching him as the honoree of this The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast reminds me how far south baseball has gone with …

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 …

Rather than go for another full season, Tennant and crew decided to wrap up his run with a series of specials. There was, of course, the Christmas special, which has become something of a Doctor Who tradition, but they followed it up with an Easter special. As …

Desperate Housewives is a show that started with tremendous promise. Marc Cherry’s brainchild had everything that an audience could possibly want, love, sex, hilarious antics, and a good old fashioned murder mystery. Add a collection of a talented veteran actresses to boot and you have yourself a recipe for …

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 …

From the fifth season, M*A*S*H: Movie Tonight is a really enjoyable outing for this comedy television series. It’s fun and lively, and I’ve always enjoyed it. Most of the episode centers around a long-awaited movie night. The picture is one that Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) …

Cold Blooded, the latest episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, didn’t impress me as much as last week’s show about hoarding did, but it was close. This was more of a Halloween themed show, not that many shows could be called that from this current year of episodes. …

In CHiPs: Name Your Price, Ponch (Erik Estrada) gets a chance to be on a game show that is something like The Price is Right. I don’t think I’m spoiling anything when I say that Ponch is right on for the entire show until he has to price …

Happy days are just about here again! Full Circle is the final episode of season six of Stargate SG-1, and Michael Shanks returns as Daniel Jackson. The opening scene is sheer heaven. Daniel talks to Jack in an elevator, and it’s just like old times. …

I am a huge sitcom fan. As dorky as it is I love to sit and watch sitcoms from past decades and even some of the new ones that have come out recently. One of my absolute favorite sitcoms comes out of the 1990’s and that is “Home …

This one turned out to be a halfway decent episode. Velma wins a robotics contest and gets to go to Japan …

Got to admit, after a disappointing episode before hand (Something Blue), we finally got an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer that is very memorable; “Hush.”
I mean, how many other series have attempted to do an entire episode where none of the actors could speak a word (in this …

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 …

This review is focusing solely on the programming offered by Comcast Cable in the Northern California region and particularly in Sacramento.
Since coming to Sacramento the last time, Comcast Cable has done very little to increase its channels offered. Let me explain that originally, we had Sacramento Cable. …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Naked Now is just bad. Just plain bad. The first episode to air after the series premier is a comedy show that has very few actually humorous parts and is riddled with nonsensical lines of dialogue tied in with awkward performances. Boy …

Stanly is rarely given much to do on The Office. In many episodes he seems to only be there so Michal can be racially insensitive, but the actor is very funny and it’s good to see an episode where he has more to do.
In this episode, Stanly disrespects Michal …

When I heard Melrose Place was going to be remade I thought it wouldn’t be very good. The thing about Melrose Place and 90210 was they were perfect in the nineties because they reflected the values of culture being pushed to the limits. Today when television has such …

One of the things I never liked about Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the fact the main character has almost superhero-like powers to help her fight evil; something that gives her almost too much of an advantage.
That’s one thing I liked about the episode “Helpless.” Buffy, who is turning …

Oprah has a new TV show and no surprise it’s all about giving. The Talk show host who has become famous for giving away lots herself, is now challenging others to do the same.
Oprah’s Big Give is a show with contestants all trying to help others. …

From season three, M*A*S*H: Love and Marriage isn’t one of my favorite episodes. While it has some good acting in it and some nice guest stars, the show just doesn’t really capture my interest as much as most of the other shows do.
One plot deals with Private Danny …

The Prisoner: The Schizoid Man has an interesting premise. Patrick McGoohan’s Number Six character wakes up to discover he is now Number Twelve, complete with a mustache (which doesn’t suit him at all, I might add). This is followed by the news that he’s supposed to switch …

For B.J. Hunnicutt (Mike Farrell), he wonders if his wife still …

When I first heard that Addison from Grey’s Anatomy was going to get her own show I was pretty excited. I really like Kate Walsh and the character Addison so when Private Practice started screening I watched.
It’s different, it’s not a blatant rip off of Grey’s Anatomy although …

From the second season of Thriller came this episode entitled The Incredible Doktor Markesan, featuring Bewitched’s Dick York as Fred Bancroft and Carolyn Kearney as his wife, Molly. The extra thrill about this hour long anthology episode is that host Boris Karloff appears as Doktor Konrad Markesan, which …

This episode is almost a cast reunion. JD and Elliot are featured and there are cameos by both Jordan and the Todd.
Aside from Elliot’s general unlikable personality, the episode is solid. Both the veterans and the newbies bring in a fair share of humor. It was …
