After a hilarious discussion on the balance of obscenities in rap lyrics; Krazee-Eyes secretly shares information on his unfaithful behaviour with Larry, which Larry quickly assumes to be common …
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 …
John Doe: Blood Lines TV show
John Doe: Blood Lines has our amnesiac center character still confused about his identity. Sometimes, it feels overplayed. Now I realize that being in his position, waking up naked with no clue who I was, would be insane and difficult, but for TV drama, it feels overacted.
One …
Psych TV Episode: Feet Don’t Kill Me Now
I was a bit disappointed by the season premiere of Psych last week so I was glad when this week’s episode “Feet Don’t Kill Me Now” helped to make up for it.
While not the best episode from the series, this one was still pretty good; offering a decent mystery …
Charmed Episode 2: I’ve Got You Under my Skin
This is the second episode of ‘Charmed’ which really showed how the sisters are still trying to adjust to her own power.
The first scene is in Quake, the restaurant where Piper is working as a chef. This scene shows how Piper was really trying to stop herself from using …

In this tenth offering of the unique western, Legend, Ernest Pratt gets caught with his pants down and an angry father after him. Oops! Things go from bad to worse when in the getaway, one of Bartok’s fancy weapons is shot off the contraption that Pratt is …
Lost - First Season
I could tell by the way the first episode began that Lost was going to be a great hit for the producers at ABC.
The story begins as a plane crashes into a lost island, several hours off the original course, making it difficult to envision a rescue. We are …
The X-Files Never Again Episode
“Never Again” was one of my favorite episodes from the popular 90s American television show “The X-Files”. I watched that episode twice recently first on the internet, and then during an X-Files marathon on the cable television channel, Sci-Fi. It was one of the most different and interesting episodes …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Graduation Day
I have to say, as far as Buffy the Vampire Slayer goes, the third season has got to be one of the most violent seasons I have seen of any series. The finale; a two part episode entitled “Graduation Day” is a great example.
Let’s see, in the first half …
JUMONG
Kudos to “Jumong”, a Korean telenovea running in Philippine local TV daily from Monday to Friday at prime time. I was not curious to anticipate the program when it was first launched its premier telecast a year ago since it will will be run at the late hour …
South Park: The Coon
South Park has gone to great lengths lately to write satire pieces on current events and trends. This episode, entitled “The Coon”, follows Cartman dressing as a Batman like superhero, probably as a means of capitalizing on the success of the latest Batman movies. While not a completely awful …
Highlander the Series - 104 - A Bad Day in Building A
„A Bad Day in Building A” is a fourth episode of the first season of Highlander: The Series.
Tessa, Duncan’s mortal girlfriend, needs to pay her outdated tickets so her, Duncan and Richie go to the courthouse. Duncan is left in the car while Richie, given his special ‘background’, goes …
Stargate SG-1: Need
The early years of Stargate SG-1 are often called the vintage years. Jonathan Glassner was leading the team of producers, directors, and writers, and he just brought forth a slew of quality product. Stargate SG-1: Need is another one of these shows, one that can and is …
That 70s Show TV Episode: Babe I’m Going to Leave You
I finally got a chance to see an episode of That 70s Show that I haven’t seen before; Babe I’m Going to Leave You.
This episode takes place shortly after Kitty’s father dies and after Jackie, seeing Kelso with his California girlfriend (Jessica Simpson), blurts out that he’s still her …
The Andy Griffith Show: A Plaque for Mayberry TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: A Plaque for Mayberry has one of my favorite crazy Barney Fife scenes. It’s right at the beginning of this first season episode, when town drunk Otis Campbell (Hal Smith) is ready to be released from his latest incarceration, only Deputy Fife thinks he …
The Fall Guy: The Meek Shall Inherit Rhonda TV Show
For me, the celebrity guest stars are a big part of the fun with this TV series, and I especially love it when it’s done more uniquely than just having Colt Seavers (Lee Majors) bumping into them on the set. That’s why The Fall Guy: The Meek Shall …
Beast Wars - The Spark
Beast Wars - The Spark is an episode that introduces a new character to the series. It is the third character to be introduced, and sadly, one that never really received a whole lot of attention before disappearing along with another of the recently introduced characters in the season …
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: There’s One Born Every Minute
There’s One Born Every Minute is the next episode of the adventure series called Bring ‘Em Back Alive. It stars Bruce Boxleitner, who isn’t an actor I particularly enjoy, along with Cindy Morgan and Clyde Kusatsu. Boxleitner is big game hunter Frank Buck with Morgan playing Gloria …
Law and Order SVU Season 1 Episode 2- A Single Life
Law and Order SVU Season 1 Episode 2- A Single Life
I’d don’t know if I liked this episode. In the beginning, it looked very interesting, and I know that it had a very strong message, which I felt was in very important to express. But the end …
Fame: Expose
I always remember Fame: Expose fairly well, mainly because it guest starred Brian Patrick Clark, best known both for Eight is Enough and General Hospital. He’s always fun to watch, whether he’s a good guy or a villain, and he plays both with equal expertise. He has …
Avatar: The Last Airbender: Book 2, Episode 4: The Swamp
Aang starts to bring Appa down as they’re flying over a swamp without realizing it. When Sokka brings it to his attention, he said he felt the swamp calling to him. The group discusses going in, but everyone else has a bad feeling about it, so they …
Mr. Monk and the Magician
There’s only a few more Monk episodes remaining before the show is permanently done. And, I think it is definitely about time. The episode “Mr. Monk and the Magician” is a good reason.
It was an interesting twist having Monk’s neighbor Kevin Dorfman being the murder victim this time around. …
Gone but Not Forgotten
I watched Gone By Not Forgotten. A mini series. I had read the book and was surprised to see that the movie followed the book very closely.
Scott Glenn played the defendant, Martin Darius. He is accused of killing several women in Sacremento, apparently he had committed similar crimes …
The Twilight Zone: Passage on the Lady Anne TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Passage on the Lady Anne is a show of mystery and romance. From May 1963, it has a really impressive cast, and it’s the cast that makes this show so wonderful to watch.
It begins with a battling couple setting out on a cruise. Their on …
What’s New Scooby Doo: The Vampire Strikes Back
As far as “What’s New Scooby Doo” episodes are concerned, the one entitled “The Vampire Strikes Back” was better than some of the first season episodes I’ve watched.
This one actually had a legitimate mystery in it at least.
The episode features the Hex Girls (which I can only assume means …
M*A*S*H: The Interview
M*A*S*H: The Interview, while giving credit to Larry Gelbart for both directing and writing, was done in huge part in an unscripted manner. I recall numerous interviews and articles about this when this show aired originally on network television. It received a lot of attention at that …
M*A*S*H: Abyssinia, Henry
Season three comes to a tragic close with M*A*S*H: Abyssinia, Henry. I remember this episode so well, and the plot has long been documented by the producers as to why the story evolved as it did. What this show should have been entitled is, “McLean, What On …
The Simpsons Season 3 Episode 13 Radio Bart
The episode begins with Homer yelling at Lisa for dancing. But then himself is attracted to the dancing. He is so engrossed in the dance, that when Lisa asks him for money to buy Bart a present he gives her $110. Then on the TV an ad is shown …
Forever TV Show Episode Two: Look Before You Leap
Forever is a new TV show that is featured on the ABC network. Given that I enjoyed the very first episode, I made sure I geared up and watched the second. Now, given that I pretty much had an idea on what the show will generally will be about, …
Private Practice show
Private Practice is the Grey’s Anatomy spin off that stands alone. When Addison first left to go visit Naomi in California I thought she would be returning to Seattle Grace but I was wrong. She stayed at Oceanside Wellness and the results have been amazing.
The fact that the divorced …
Friends TV Series from NBC
Friends is one of the most popular and viewed series of the 90s. A group of friends who always hang out in the coffee shop, Central Perk, and talk about their lives. It starred Jennifer Aniston(as Rachel Green), Courtney Cox(as Monica Geller), Lisa Kudrow(as Phoebe Buffay), Matt LeBlanc(as Joey …
That Girl: The Snow Must Go On
I’ve talked a bit about the fashion in season’s four That Girl, and that’s why I get a kick out of the fact that in the first moments of That Girl: The Snow Must Go On, Don Hollinger walked into Ann Marie’s apartment and teased her about her new …
Psych: Let’s Get Hairy
I wasn’t going to watch tonight’s episode of Psych. I’ve had a long day and wasn’t really feeling like staying up to watch it. But, my wife is out of town and she asked me to record it for her. Since I had to have the TV on to …
The Simpsons Season 2 Episode 1
Bart forgets to do his book report. His teacher tells him she is concerned about his poor academics. She reminds him of the history test next day. As usual Bart does not prepare for the test and fails the test. Marge and Homer visit Dr.Pryor, who suggests that Bart …
Doctor Who: Season 1, Episode 5: World War Three
This episode picks up where “Aliens in London” left off, with the nefarious Slitheen enacting their plot that puts the whole world in danger.
I have to say, seeing the Doctor overpower the Slitheen weapon while pointing out that what’s lethal to humans isn’t lethal to him was …
The Biggest Loser
I love The Biggest Loser. My mom and I watch it every Tuesday together. I find it motivational. It does get frustrating, however, if you’re trying to lose weight with the show because they lose so much because all they do is exercise every day. I have learned, however, …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: New Moon Rising
OK, is it just me, or did the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series run out of budget money for making vampires and demons? I’m almost through the fourth season of the show with the episode “New Moon Rising” and there has hardly been any action at all.
Not that this …
Highway Patrol: Hitchhiker Dies TV Show
Highway Patrol: Hitchhiker Dies is a compelling half hour drama from this police show that focuses on the subject of coincidence. A man commits a robbery, is wounded, and then manages to find a ride with a man passing by. Eventually, the man realizes he’s with a …
X-Factor - ITV1 - First Live Show
The X-Factor live shows are back. This used to be considered prime time viewing for me on a Saturday night, but I do feel as though the format is dragging a bit. The fact that Simon Cowell decided to allow a wild card selection for each judge shows that …
The Apprentice: Rock the Catwalk TV Show
The Apprentice: Rock the Catwalk made me wonder if maybe I were really watching Project Runway. Actually, parts of it had some very entertaining moments. This latest hour of Donald Trump’s very long job interview began with last week’s winning project manager, Clint, having a meeting with …
Scrubs: Our Histories
This episode was really trying to be like the early seasons, it had all the same elements, but I still find it lacking. Lucy is amicable enough and Cole is good for a laugh or two but there is still no real connection with any of these characters.
Thankfully, …
Doctor Who season 1 episode 1 New Earth
Maybe I am not the best person to say this but I really think this episode was amazing. It wasn’t very spectacular but the idea was really ingenious. If you remember in one of the first episode of the last season the Doctor took Rose to see the destruction …
M*A*S*H: O.R.
M*A*S*H: O.R. is aptly named because the show is thirty minutes of operating room scenes. It’s a long stretch of emergency surgery that is featured in this half hour episode from the third season of this show about the Korean War. Oddly, this series outlasted the true …
Santa Claus is Coming to Town
The television, cartoon version of Santa Claus is Coming to town is my personal favorite of all of the Christmas, holiday special shows.
I like to watch this particular show year after year.
This is where Kris Kringle comes to town to give presents to all the children, only to find …
Knuffle Bunny
My daughter brought home a book from the library called Knuffle Bunny and I have to admit, it is one of the better books I’ve read to her.
This one actually reminded me a bit of our youngest daughter. Basically, you have a little girl who can’t speak yet but …
The Twilight Zone: The Thirty-Fathom Grave TV Show
I’ve never been much of a fan of The Twilight Zone: The Thirty-Fathom Grave, which is just a little overdone for my tastes. Essentially, it’s a story about a navy cruiser that picks up the sound of hammering on its sonar. Investigation leads to the fact …
Masquerade: Caribbean Holiday
From January 1984, Masquerade: Caribbean Holiday is a so-so entry for this TV series. The series itself didn’t go over very well. I was one of the small minority who actually did watch it. I liked the unique concept of a spy agency getting every day …
CSI Season 5 Episode 4
CSI Season 5 Episode 4
It wasn’t a bad episode, yet it wasn’t very good either. Very average for the show. And I think, it was trying to send some moral lesson, but it wasn’t clear enough to do that. Also, the method in both cases was similar- the writing …
Monster Episode 3
Monster Episode 3 begins with the murders of Dr. Heinemann and the other doctors who opposed DR. Tenma, then the twins disappear and a short time later, Dr. Tenma is promoted to Chief of Surgery. Nine years later, Dr. Tenma treats a man who was hit by a …
