Simpsons: Bart of War
I’m watching a classic Simpsons episode “Bart of War” and I’m thinking it is absolutely hillarious.
Basically, you have Bart and Milhouse being caught committing a prank and, because they need more adult supervision, they are separated into two separate youth groups which start out trying to teach the kids …
Power Marketing : Upright Citizens Brigade
Power Marketing is probably one of the best remembered of the Upright Citizens Brigade episodes. There is, after all, a lot of memorable stuff in this one (including the whole pennies thing). My favorite part of the episode is actually the Power Marketing sketch, for which the …
Futurama TV Episode: My Three Suns
Hmm—¦I was on a roll there and finding episodes I loved of the series Futurama. But, so far, there have been a couple episodes that just haven’t lived up to expectations. One of these was the one entitled “My Three Suns.”
The episode did start out OK. Fry wants to …

How many of you love watching Extreme Makeover (Home Edition) and loving every single minute of the show presented by ABC Channel? Well, I do. In fact, I love the show so much that no one could ever come across the TV when I watched the show …
Stargate SG-1: Unnatural Selection
Stargate SG-1: Unnatural Selection is actually part two of the story that began in Prometheus the week before. However, they really aren’t connected in terms of the story. Prometheus was an avenue to get the ship in space and meet up with the Asgard.
Stargate SG-1: Unnatural Selection …
Emergency!: Nurses’ Wild

This review will cover the December 1962 show, Have Gun - Will Travel: Man in an Hourglass. It was the 12th episode of the western’s sixth season, and it does have some very interesting elements to it. As always, Richard Boone stars as Paladin, the sometimes poetic …
Sex And The City
Sex And The City is a show that I missed during it’s HBO debut and run. I knew of the show, but just don’t watch enough TV to devote time for a series. When Sex And The City became syndicated on TBS, I began watching. Was I surprised! What …
Trauma:Life in the ER
Trauma: Life in the ER is a fast-paced show not intended for the weak of heart and stomach. With real surgery footage and violent, graphic images, the show carries a warning that younger viewers should not watch. Each episode centers around a hospital somewhere in the US …
The Virginian: Jennifer TV Show
The Virginian: Jennifer is the seventh show of the fourth season, and it was a show that was necessary due to the departure of Roberta Shore as Betsy Garth. With all those cowboys on Shiloh Ranch, they needed a woman. Thus, Judge Henry Garth (Lee J. Cobb) …
The Wendy Williams Show: Carrie Ann Inaba September 2010 TV Show
I really haven’t watched The Wendy Williams Show from start to finish before catching this September 2010 episode of the talk show. What has often happened is that I’ve seen the last few minutes when changing the channel to tune into the beginning of another show. I …
CHiPs: The Sheik
From November 1978, CHiPs: The Sheik is from the second season and stars, as always, Erik Estrada and Larry Wilcox. The fun of this particular outing is guest star Kario Salem, who plays the title role. Actually, he’s the son of a very wealthy man, and he …
The X-Files: Season 3, Episode 2: Paper Clip
Concluding the three part extravaganza, this episode manages to maintain all of the things that worked about the previous episode, while toning down on the stuff that didn’t. The pseudo-philosophical narration is still here, but it doesn’t play as large a part as it did when Mulder was …
House: Big Baby
I didn’t watch House for a long time because I assumed that it would be just another medical drama. I only started to watch because I had family over and they wanted to see it. The first episode was hard, but as I’ve watched more I’ve found that this …
Fireball XL5: Space Pen
One of the things I’ve longed realized about Fireball XL5 is that the lovely blonde Venus gets more change of clothing than any of the other characters. I suppose that’s how it really is in life anyway, but it’s amused me quite a bit. In this show …
M*A*S*H: No Sweat
In M*A*S*H: No Sweat from season nine, the 4077th is going through a hot spell. In fact, it’s so hot that Major Margaret Houlihan (Loretta Swit) has prickly heat that is about to drive her crazy.
Setting up part of the craziness in this episode, Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry …
The Defenders: Pilot TV Show
The first phrase that comes to my mind when I think about the pilot episode for The Defenders is ’smart move. When word first came out about this show, the word was that it was going to be a re-do of the popular lawyer series from the 60’s …
Monday Night Football
For decades, Monday Night Football has been the premiere place for NFL action. But, over time, it has become more of a talk show than one that actually focuses on sports.
I haven’t watched Monday Night Football in a while, but didn�t have much choice last night if I wanted …
Family Guy: Road to Germany
There are days I absolutely cannot stand watching the series Family Guy. And, there are others that aren’t too bad. The episode last night “Road to Germany” was one that I didn’t mind.
This one had an interesting take; Brian and Stewie time travel back to World War II Germany …

The Fall Guy: The Rich Get Richer TV Show
I mentioned in my last review for The Fall Guy that one of the things that is ironic about this show is that it focuses on a stunt man and as a result we see some incredible stunts. At the same time, it’s not really fictional stunt man …

I was not expecting Matt and Trey to touching on the Coon’s story again, but it was a pleasant surprise. I thought it was a funny story to begin with, so having the Coon return was interesting. I am always seem to be …
That Girl: My Sister’s Keeper
One of the best shows of the entire That Girl series was this third season show called My Sister’s Keeper. I’ve remembered this episode from the very first time I saw it, and in fact, I remember some of the publicity from it when it originally aired.
The co-producer …
IRT Deadliest Roads: Freefall Freeway TV Show
With the success of Ice Road Truckers, it makes sense that there would be a spin off of some sort sooner or later. Apparently, now is the time. Debuting right after the season finale of Ice Road Truckers, IRT Deadliest Roads: Freefall Freeway includes my favorite, Lisa …
Gilligan’s Island -The Producer TV Show
Here we are again graced with another famous guest actor Harold Hecuba, a TV producer, played by Phil Silvers. So of course Ginger is second main actor in this show. I didn’t like the way this Hecuba character treated the castaways, more like they are lower than him instead …

Well, at least the second episode in the Fairly Oddparents series isn’t too bad. This one, entitled “Power Mad” lets us meet Timmy’s best friends, Chester and AJ in a way that is kind of interesting.

House, M.D.
I watch a lot of television, probably more than I should. But it is rare that I find a prime time program that piques my interest enough to stick with it. I had pretty much given up on trying to find a good show to watch and had resigned …

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: The Killer TV show
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: The Killer is not my kind of show with the animal hunting theme. It is not entertainment to me to see this stuff, which is why I don’t watch the cable channels with a focus on animals. I’m not interested in seeing …
Criminal Minds —“ Season One —“ Episode Five —“ Broken Mirror
A kidnapping case. It showed how the team handles kidnappings and ransom demands. Since the kidnapped girl had a twin, there was also an interesting little twist about twin interaction and feeling things the other is feeling.

The Virginian: Silver Image TV Show
The second episode of The Virginian’s seventh season on the air from September 1968 was called Silver Image, and it was far better than I thought it was going to be. The show surrounded a widow of a rancher in Medicine Bow who was in the middle of …
Korean Drama: Iljimae
Iljimae is yet another wonderful drama that I truly love and enjoy. Not because I am a fan of the lead star but because I find the story really wonderful and heartfelt. The story was about a son of a noble man who was killed mercilessly; he was set …
Pokemon (TV Show) - Bye, Bye Butterfree (Episode)
“Bye, Bye Butterfree” is an episode of the “Pokemon” television series. Although this is a farewell episode for one of Ash’s Pokemon, Butterfree, I don’t feel it was very effective. This is only the twenty-first episode of the series and Butterfree never was really used by Ash in particularly …

Alias Smith and Jones: The McCreedy Bust
Alias Smith and Jones: The McCreedy Bust, the second episode of this series, sets up a recurring character in Big Mac McCreedy, played by the robust and highly entertaining Burl Ives. The character comes back repeatedly throughout this western show. He’s a delight because he’s crafty, and …
The Beast: Hothead
The latest episode of The Beast, entitled Hothead, had some moments, but it’s suffering a bit from the odd, over-acting of Travis Fimmel, who plays Ellis Dove, the partner of Charles Barker, portrayed by series star Patrick Swayze. There’s just something about Fimmel’s look — it’s a smirk …
