American Idol - 3/17/09

Voyagers!: Merry Christmas, Bogg
Honestly, I’d forgotten just how much Meeno Peluce cried during the Voyagers! series. He could compete with Doris Day, June Allyson, and Margaret O’Brien for being able to turn those tears on and off. It’s amazing. However, it’s not the best crier. He’s just able to …
Spongebob Square Pants Series
I admit that I watch cartoons and to be honest I’m a bit choosy when I watch because I only want to tune in to a good and humorous cartoons and I hate a show that is full of nonsense. While my sister is watching television I watched with …
Gilligan’s Island - Topsy-Turvy TV Show
I really liked this episode since we have actual headhunters on the island this time which is rare on this show. Again the Castaways are fighting for survival, and they actually prepare calmly and with some sort of order this time. But again Gilligan messes up, but his goof …

The Cleaner: Chaos Theory
As The Cleaner: Chaos Theory went on, I kept wondering who it was who was playing William Banks’ old friend, Quinn. He was so familiar; finally realized it was Jeff Fahey. He was perfect for the part, but with the look he had, I didn’t recognize him.
The …

Mr. Monk and the Foreign Man
I tuned into the latest Monk episode Friday expecting to find him working on a case that would bring him closer to solving Trudy’s murder. Instead, I was disappointed to learn that wouldn’t be the case.
However, the episode was definitely interesting.
You have two cases going on. One involves the …
Beast Wars - Victory
Beast Wars - Victory is an episode that offers the Maximals a second chance to return to Cybertron, which was a little surprising to me since the previous episode also presented them with an opportunity to return, and now all of a sudden we have another, back to back. …
Anime (Animation) : Kids On The Slope
The animation is wonderful, the story is lively, and when those two main characters start playing jazz I just can’t help but close my eyes and smile. The anime Sakamichi no Apollon (also known as Kids on the Slope in English) truly is a masterpiece. I am a big …
The First 48 (A&E)
I absolutely LOVE this show. First, I should mention that I like crime shows (real ones, not dramas) and programs that highlight investigations and forensics. This one focuses on the fact that the first 48 hours of a major investigation are usually the most critical. …
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Bounty Hunters’ Convention
The best part of The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Bounty Hunters’ Convention
was an early scene where a man warned Brisco to make sure Comet didn’t have his way with his horse, Lily. It was a hoot of a scene.

Back at the Barnyard
I normally don’t mind my daughter watching shows on Nickelodean. But, I have to say I’m not a huge fan of the show Back at the Barnyard; a feeling that hasn’t changed from day one.
Fortunately for me, my daughter is already tired of the show because it means I …

Psych TV Episode: Gus’ Dad May have Killed an Old Guy
I’m not exactly sure what I was doing during the second season of Psych. But, apparently there were quite a few episodes that season that I missed because I was seeing them for the first time during a marathon on Saturday.
One of them, Gus’ Dad May have Killed and …
America’s Got Talent

Spongebob Squarepants Season Two - The fry cook games

Family Matters the TV show
The show family matters was a good show and I use to love watching it all the time when it was on the air. I love how the characters on the show were just average people; working average jobs but quite often dealt with major problems and this show …
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
I love it when I can watch a sitcom, and even when it’s been on TV for so many years, it’s still enjoyable to watch, and I can still relate to it. This is the case with Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. This show came out in the 90s, and …
NCIS the TV series
My favorite TV series of all time, NCIS is on its seventh season this fall 2009. I discovered this show while watching re-runs of American shows in a government-owned television channel in the Philippines. I was hooked from the first time I watched it, and from then I …
Midsomer Murders: A British TV Series

CSI Miami
Being a big fan of the original CSI series, I thought to give CSI: Miami (the first spin-off) a fair shot. While CSI: Miami is entertaining in it’s own right, it’s absolutely incomparable with the original series.
CSI: Miami features a lot of gang and drug related cases, and alot …
Deal or No Deal
I think Deal or No Deal has now lost some of its appeal for people. I remember when it first started, I wanted to watch every show and see every box opened. I thought right from the beginning it looked a very low-key setting with the wooden floors and …
Wagon Train: The Bleeker Story
This is a non-Robert Fuller episode of Wagon Train, except for a piece of stock footage inserted at the tail end of the show for comedic effect. The man had a great contract, that’s for sure. The Bleeker Story is the story of a family that Duke …
The Dick Van Dyke Show

Have Gun - Will Travel: Silent Death, Secret Death TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Silent Death, Secret Death had some decent moments and yet didn’t really satisfy my entertainment criteria for a good TV Show. From March 1962, this 28th episode of the fifth season began in San Francisco where our resident gunfighter, Paladin, is asked to …

The Twilight Zone: The Changing of the Guard TV Show
From June 1962, The Twilight Zone: The Changing of the Guard closed out the third season of this wonderful science fiction series. It was a terrific show to end a season with as well. It’s a story many people can identify with and that’s part of its …
Sea Hunt: Sunken Car TV Show
Sea Hunt: Sunken Car begins with Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) doing a survey job where a pipe would be placed later. I like seeing how they link these little opening bits with what ultimately becomes the main focus of the half hour episodes. The survey really has …
Ghost Hunters: The Ledge Lighthouse
I’m starting to wonder why I bothered renting the second season of the show Ghost Hunters. I say this because I’m two disks into the season now and have yet to see anything convincing. The sixth (or seventh) episode of the show “The Ledge Lighthouse” once again proves to …
The Office: Branch Closing
“Whatever you can say about Michael, he wouldn’t have done that,” is the line of the episode. Watching “The Office” is about watching Michael do stupid things, but it’s good to be reminded occasionally that he has his good points and though in real like he almost certainly …

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Some Assembly Required
While the first season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer tends to go for laughs, the second season of the series is a bit more morbid; as the episode “Some Assembly Required” shows.
In this episode, rather than fighting vampires (with the exception of the one in the very beginning), buffy …
VH1’s Hogan Knows Best
VH1’s reality show about the everyday lives of the Hogan family centers around Hulk Hogan himself. Even though his family is showcased in the program, the show is really about Hulk, but one would not get that impression just ne watching.
This isn’t your run of the mill disfunctional family …
