Stargate SG-1: Urgo
For the ultimate in SG-1 humor, Stargate SG-1: Urgo is the place to go. This season three episode guest starred the comedic genius of Dom Deluise in the role of Urgo. Dom Deluise has been around for decades, and he’s a very funny man. He’s done …
The Twilight Zone: Mr. Garrity and the Graves TV Show
From May 1964, The Twilight Zone: Mr. Garrity and the Graves is another weird outing of this series. I’m afraid this once great series has taken a big nose dive with this fifth and final year worth of shows. So many are retreads and so-so works. …
Justice League - Tabula Rasa, Part Two
Justice League - “Tabula Rasa”, Part Two builds upon what was established in the first part and allows the story to reach its full potential. The action in this episode is top-notch thanks to the fluid and detailed animation and the clever use of the city as battlefield against …
The Twilight Zone: The Old Man in the Cave TV Show
From November 1963, The Twilight Zone: The Old Man in the Cave has its moments, but it’s not really a favorite episode. It’s more odd than appealing, and I’ve never found it to be all that satisfying as entertainment goes.
Apparently, some bomb has gone off, and the world …
Design Star
I’ve watched this show ever since it started three years ago. My husband even gets into it when he’s home to watch. It’s cool to see what each designer does with the rooms they are given.
They start the show with 10 or 12 designers and one is voted …

Big Brother: Nomination August 22, 2010 TV Show
The August 22, 2010 episode of Big Brother dealt mainly with the weekly nominations. With Britney as the head of household, just about anything could have happened.
The competition to see who were the haves and who were the have nots was fun. It divided the six competing …

The Virginian: Big Day, Great Day
For a western, The Virginian did do some very different things. For example, The Virginian: Big Day, Great Day includes a day at the lake with visitors in their swimming suits. Not only that, but the opening scene includes a phone call in Denver. A western …
Stargate: Infinity TV Show
As often happens, when a life action TV series gains success, the networks and powers that be will often try to capitalize on the popularity by producing a children’s animated series based on the plot. While some tend to stay true to the original series, others use it …
Cracker: True Romance Part 2 TV show
Robbie Coltrane is the big cheese as Dr. Eddie ‘Fitz’ Fitzgerald in Cracker: True Romance Part 2. However, for me, his cheese is poisoned. I wasn’t impressed for one second with the acting or the character. He was a major turnoff.
The final scene makes me dislike …
That Girl: Stocks and the Single Girl
Overall, I enjoyed That Girl: Stocks and the Single Girl from season four of this hit ABC series. It had some great laughs in it, and it entertained me fully for the full half-hour or so. That said, while this is a different take on the rich …

M*A*S*H: Depressing News
M*A*S*H: Depressing News is a very good episode that is also thought provoking at points. The setup begins when a truckload of 500,000 tongue depressors when they’d only ordered 5,000. It’s an obvious error, but it’s one that strikes a chord inside of Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda). …
Max Headroom: Body Banks TV show
The Body Banks episode of Max Headroom, from 1987, is sadly not that hard to envision. Society is just such a crazy place that I certainly wouldn’t doubt it. We’ve seen fiction do crazier things, like Soylent Green did with its shocking revelation. Basically, it’s all …
Sanford & Son (TV sitcom)
If you were alive and kicking in the 1970s, you will certainly remember this show, featuring one of the grouchiest men of all time - Fred Sanford. I found this program really funny because it was set at a junkyard. That was a very different setting for …
South Park TV Episode: Miss Teacher Bangs a Boy

Cowboy Bebop Episode 20 (Anime)

This episode was fantastic; it had everything that makes Cowboy Bebop a great anime to watch. The action was top notch and the gunfights were awesome. It …
Psych: Any Given Friday Night at 10 P.M.
While better than the Monk episode that preceded it, Friday night’s Psych episode “Any Given Friday Night at 10 PM” was another weak attempt to put together a good episode with a football theme in honor of this weekend’s Super Bowl.
I’m not sure which is more dumb; having players …
Fame: Alone in a Crowd
Fame: Alone in a Crowd centers around the musical genius, Bruno Martelli (Lee Curreri). This is the fourth episode of the series, and by now, we all know that Bruno is a genius with the instruments. However, he has a lot of inner demons to struggle with …
Late Night News (LNN) Satrical Comedy Show

Batman: The Brave and the Bold: Aquaman’s Outrageous Adventure
The cold open has Batman flying a plane in World War 2. There’s not really any explanation, but Batman has time traveled before so it’s not too outlandish. He teams up with Enemy Ace to defeat..aliens I guess. I’m not sure, there wasn’t much in the …
The Walking Dead (Episodes 1-3)
I’ve always been a fan of zombie movies, but strangely enough, I haven’t tried to read any zombie comic books, including the critically acclaimed graphic novel series The Walking Dead by Robert Kirkman. So when it was announced that director Frank Darabont was doing a TV series out of …

Dancing with the Stars - Australia - Week 1 TV Show
For the most part, I love America’s Dancing with the Stars, so it was with curiosity that I watched Australia’s version of it recently. This was the 10th season premier of the Oz version. Here are a few observations.
–It’s basically the same type of set, with the …

Masquerade: The French Correction
Masquerade: The French Correction is a pretty decent entry for this hour-long spy that hit the TV screen back in March 1984. However, one of the bad things is that they failed to create new ways of explaining the story. In the beginning, Lavender (Rod Taylor) always …

Bring ‘Em Back Alive: The Reel World of Frank Buck
The Reel World of Frank Buck concerns a documentary maker who wants to get footage of Buck in action in this episode of Bring ‘Em Back Alive from 1985. Bruce Boxleitner stars as Buck, but I’m not impressed with him at all. He’s never been an actor …
CSI Season 6 Episode 22- Time of Your Death

That 70s Show: Fez dates Donna
I happened to turn on a re-run of That 70s Show this afternoon; Fez Dates Donna and found it was absolutely hillarious.

Here Come the Brides: Wives for Wakando

Adam-12: Log 131
Episode 4 of the first season of Adam-12 is another goodie. It’s the show that introduces us to a detective named Jerry, played by Jack Hogan of “Combat” fame. The recurring character is awesome, and it’s really too bad he didn’t show up in even more shows.
The …
Arrested Development TV series
The television series “Arrested Development” is not to be confused with the music group from the nineteen nineties with the same name. In fact I even heard on VH1 that the television series was almost sued by the music group after one of their members was watching the superbowl …
