A lot of people who are considered geniuses are also crazy themselves. This is an episode about a doctor with a severe case of paranoid delusions. He thought the government had implanted something in him. The bad thing was, he was trapped on a train with people! One lady …
The Office: The Coup
Dwight from The Office is one of my favorite characters ever. Usually when a character is annoying on a television show the actually annoy me, but Dwight is different. Perhaps it’s the reactions of everyone else or the fact that the things he does are more socially inept that …
M*A*S*H: Baby, It’s Cold Outside
It’s really cold in Korea during M*A*S*H: Baby, It’s Cold Outside. While the doctors try to save some hypothermic patients, they also try to stay warm. This particular story element is another example of decent comedy mingling with decent drama and making for a decent half-hour of …
Stargate SG-1: Company of Thieves
Season ten of Stargate SG-1 plods forward with an episode called Company of Thieves. About the best moment here is when Daniel is in control of the Odyssey. Of course, he’s flown the Prometheus and various Goa’uld vessels, so commanding the Odyssey should be a piece of …

Afro Samurai
I recently had the chance to watch the five episodes of the Manga-like action Anime titled Afro Samurai, and must admit it was one of the best anime I have seen for a long time now.
The story evolves under a Japanese Tech setting, whilst at the same time, a …
The Apprentice UK - Episode 3
Sir Alan Sugar, the UK’s Donald Trump only more to the point, mixed up the teams in this third episode of The Apprentice UK. Now, the men and the women had to work together. He also appointed the team leaders himself, choosing Matthew and Adele. Adele …
That Girl: All About Ann
This funny episode of That Girl is all about assumptions and just how deeply they can get a person in trouble. The episode is entitled All About Ann, which is actually the title of an article Don Hollinger is writing about his girlfriend, budding actress Ann Marie.
The assumptions …
Full Metal Alchemist
Full Metal Alchemist is a anime series that is one of the best shows I have seen. Don’t judge the series by its title, because when I first heard of it, I was wondering if it was good because of the title.
I have come to the conclusion that it …
ABC’s 25 Days of Christmas
Perhaps I’m going crazy, but at the beginning of December I remember seeing ABC advertising like crazy how they were going to be having Christmas shows every day of the month until Christmas. And then, after the first couple of days I keep watching them every day for …
Star Trek: Errand of Mercy TV Show
In some ways, Star Trek: Errand of Mercy reminds me of an episode of Stargate SG-1 called The Nox. While the Organians of Star Trek don’t have the odd look of the Nox from SG-1, these stories are essentially the same. It makes me wonder if SG-1 did …
Enlightened TV Show
Enlightened is a wonderful new show that I have discovered lately. It is like nothing I have ever seen before on TV. The show tells the story of a woman who is trying to come back to work in a corporate environment after a nervous breakdown. After coming back …
Family Guy: Back to the Woods
Tonight was the first time I’ve seen the Family Guy episode “Back to the Woods” and I thought it was pretty funny.
This is essentially a sequel to the first episode involving actor James Woods; an episode that ended in Peter locking him in a wooden crate. This time, Woods …
Family Guy TV Episode: Death Lives
I finally got a chance to sit down and watch the Family Guy episode Death Lives in its entirety the other night. When I started watching it, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from it because I had seen bits and pieces and it didn’t look as funny …
Smallville TV show
My wife and I have become addicted to Smallville, which is entering its 8th season on air this coming fall, airing on CW. Smallville follows the adventures of a young Clark Kent in Smallville, Kansas. The stories are not ‘official’ adventures, and have no connection to the …
Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmem
“Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmem” is a Travel Channel show I started watching close to a year ago. To be honest, there are times when I can barely stand to look at it, but, at the same time, it is just fascinating to me that this man will …
Southern Fried Stings on Trutv
One of the shows that I’ve watched recently is a show on Tru tv called Southern Fried Stings. This show features an Ex state trooper named Jay along with his team called the “Jay team” to perform sting operations in the south of The United States like Alabama,Georgia, …
The Andy Griffith Show: Fun Girls TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Fun Girls is not an outing that I enjoy. The Fun Girls are legendary in the mythos of this superb comedy series, but for me, they’ve never been a hit. They are annoying, and both of their episodes are ones I tend to …
Alias Smith and Jones: Exit from Wickenburg
Alias Smith and Jones: Exit from Wickenburg is a fun entry for the second regular episode of this western starring Pete Duel and Ben Murphy as outlaws Hannibal Heyes and Kid Curry. In this show, they become saloon managers after catching cheats in a card game. Susan …

Jeeves and Wooster
I love this 1990’s TV series. The story is based on popular novels by P.G.Wodehouse. The two title characters, Jeeves and Wooster, are played by Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie, respectively. Jeeves is a butler, smart, elegant, and resourceful, and Wooster is his master, rich, carefree, and rather dimwitted. …
Bad Girls Club (Oxygen network show)
I tuned in “by accident” and started watching this show. I must say that it really is a guilty pleasure. I was happy to see that the women were somewhat “real” instead of a host of model looking women who we’re supposed to believe have …
In Performance at the White House: A Broadway Celebration TV Show
From July 2010, In Performance at the White House: A Broadway Celebration was held in such a small room (the famed East Room) with so many people crowded into it that sometimes it’s distracting. The stage is tiny, too. The edited program began with President Barack Obama …
CSI Season 2 Episode 6 Alter Boys
It was not one of my favourite episodes on the show- but it was great none the less. The reason why I didn’t like it very much was the sadness of the stories and the personal stories of the criminals and the victims in this episode. The science and …
Charmed Season 1 DVD
The TV Show Charmed is now on DVD. I have a tendency to do everything backwards. To learn thing backwards. And I actually started with Season 8 of Charmed. I had watched a few episodes off and on through-out the run of Charmed on the WB. But never …
Fame: Metamorphosis
Fame: Metamorphosis is the premier of the musical dancing television series which was based on a hit movie. I recall at the time being a little put off by star Debbie Allen’s comments on The Tonight Show that they’d found an even better Coco Hernandez than Irene Cara …
My Name is Earl: White Lie Christmas
Under the surface of strippers, hookers, drinking, smoking, adultery, and a myriad of other things I suspect that My Name is Earl may secretly one of the most moral shows on television and it is that morality which makes so many of the other things in the show so …
Trigun Episode 1
Trigun is a Japanese Anime space western that takes place on a distant planet called Gunsmoke. It involves bounty hunters trying to collect the bounty on Vash the Stampede, who has a $$60,000,000,000 bounty on his head. He’s known as the “Humanoid Typhoon” because he causes a …
NBC - The Office
The Office is a television series that airs on NBC. One of the best things about this show is that it is absolutely hilarious. This show covers the life and story of those who work in an office. The show has aired for about 4 seasons now and it’s …
Tony Robinson and the Blitz Witch
Tony Robinson and the Blitz Witch is a Channel 4 documentary hosted by Tony Robinson (also known as Baldrick from Blackadder) and which tells the story of the famous war time medium called Helen Duncan. This is an interesting story as this unassuming middle-aged Scottish lady who would …
Star Trek: The Apple TV Show
Gene Roddenberry tackles Eden yet again in Star Trek: The Apple. The series creator seems to love to show that books shouldn’t be judged by their covers and that living easy isn’t necessarily living. Man never quite finds paradise in Star Trek.
Another red shirt goes down before …
The Twilight Zone: The Midnight Sun TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Midnight Sun is a neat little outing for this series, mostly because of the terrific twist that takes place at the end. I don’t watch this one a lot so if enough time has gone by, sometimes I forget and end up being surprised.
The …
Seven days Season 2 Episode 12
This is a Sci-Fi show in which Frank Parker is sent seven days in time whenever some kind of disaster happens, so he has to warn the government about it and try to stop it.
So when a company blowing a tunnel blows up half of Seattle Franks has to …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The High Graders
I really enjoyed Have Gun - Will Travel: The High Graders, especially the opening which had Paladin (Richard Boone) being measured for a new suit. It’s the dichotomy between this civilized, wealthy, society persona of San Francisco’s paladin and the gunfighter for hire who wears a black trail …
The Young Rebels: Suicide Squad TV Show
From 1970, The Young Rebels: Suicide Squad continues the events of the Revolutionary War. It was one of my favorite shows during that TV season, and I was so glad to be able to see so many of these shows again recently.
This episode is fun because Jeremy and …
John Doe: The Rising TV show
John Doe: The Rising is the final episode of this one-year episode and it essentially picks up not all that long after the last show ended. The topic in it was remote viewing, and John Doe (Dominic Purcell) was the subject. It’s actually a little disturbing to …

The twentieth episode in the series is titled “Innocents of Ryloth” and is the second part of the ‘Ryloth’ episode trilogy in which the Jedi and Republic forces attempt to free the people of the planet Ryloth from Separatist forces whom have taken them all hostage. This episode follows …

Wagon Train: The Sam Darland Story
I was a little surprised by Wagon Train: The Sam Darland Story because I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. This season six episode reminds me a lot of Boys Town and Father Flanigan, though there isn’t any connection. It’s just the idea that makes …
Criminal Minds: Compromising Positions TV Show
Thomas Gibson, Joe Mantegna, Paget Brewster, Matthew Gray Gubler, Kristen Vangsness, and Shemar Moore return for another dramatic hour in Criminal Minds: Compromising Positions. The BAU team is still undergoing transition from the loss of JJ. One of the big moments in this process occurs when Vangsness’ …
Touching Evil: Love Lies Bleeding
All good things come to an end, and apparently that’s what happened in Touching Evil: Love Lies Bleeding. I’ve said from the beginning that the part of the storyline I really loved was David Creegan’s relationship with his ex-wife, Holly, and their two daughters, Samantha and Lily. …
Stargate Universe: Air Part 1
My interest in the Stargate Program is pretty much confined to the first eight years of Stargate SG-1. I did not like Stargate Atlantis and its affect on SG-1, and I suppose for much of the same reasons, I haven’t been interested in Stargate Universe, either. However, …
Spongebob Squarepants:Bubble Buddy
I finally got to see an episode of Spongebob Squarepants I haven�t seen before; Bubble Buddy. And, I have to admit, it was pretty funny.
This episode features SpongeBob creating an imaginary friend out of his bubbles simply because he has nobody to play with. He then goes around town …

Star Trek’s Divine Diva: Nichelle Nichols featurette
Star Trek’s Divine Diva: Nichelle Nichols featurette was a very nice look at the wonderful actress who brought Star Trek’s communication officer, Uhura, to life.
One thing that has always struck me about Nichelle is how much she cared about what she was doing. She doesn’t talk about it …
