Club808 Current Music Show
Presented by two young and trendy presenters (a local club deejay and a beautiful singer), who deliver the content in a fresh, vibey and trendy fashion, Club808 is certainly a hit with me and one Friday night show I have come to look forward too. What I like most …
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: The Rescue TV show
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: The Rescue is full of high angst and emotion, pretty much from beginning to end. There’s a bad storm brewing in the Murphys and Sonora areas, and Hannah (Terri Treas) is called on to help out with some medical assistance.
There’s just one problem. …
Pushing Dasies
I randomly caught myself watching the show Pushing Daisies after flipping the channels to find something to entertain myself. It immediately caught my attention because of how different it was than the other prime-time shows on television currently. Not only was the time period the setting was placed in …
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Senior Spirit
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Senior Spirit is awesome episode and is perhaps the best show to air since the pilot. In this show, Brisco is surprised when Socrates shows him a piece of the orb that had been with his father’s affects. There’s actually a …
ICarly TV Episode: I saw Him First
As I mentioned a short time ago in another review, I don’t normally watch the show ICarly. But, my daughter was watching something else on one of our Nick stations and, because I never changed the channel, it was on while I was doing something else.
The episode I ended …
Numb3rs TV show
I really enjoy this show - I like the idea of using statistics and other forms of math to solve major crimes, and actually have a friend of mine who works in crime profiling, which I think is pretty cool.
The relationship between the characters is that Don Epps, an …
Good Eats
I just finished watching an episode of “Good Eats.” The episode was about making homemade bacon. The plot of this show was “Scrap Iron Chef” and the secret ingredient was Pork belly. Alton Brown competed against a midwest native to see who could make the best …
CSI Season 1 Episode 8 Anonymous
This episode tells the story of two crimes investigate by the Las Vegas Crime Scene Investigators. One of the crimes targets Grissom on a personal level and really gets the amount of emotion out of him, which was never previously displayed on the show. This is the first time …
What a Night for a Knight
I got my daughter the first five episodes of Scooby Doo Where Are You through Netflix and the very first one, What a Night for a Knight still has to be one of the better episodes in the series.
I’ve seen this one a couple times and never realized it …
CSI: New York: Unfriendly Chat TV Show
CSI: New York: Unfriendly Chat started out with a bit that annoyed me because of what was happening. One of the regulars was watching some you tube like connection service where you’re connected by web cam. It was completely inappropriate for a work site, especially for someone …
Lee Nelsons Well Good Show BBC3
A couple of months ago I saw an advert for a new t.v show. It was Lee Nelsons Well Good Show. It was to be shown on BBC3 and my initial impressions, without even watching the show was that it looked like a complete waste of time. A man …
Law & Order SVU: Hothouse
I can tell you exactly how you can tell when a show has jumped the shark and it might be time to put it out of its misery; when you watch a brand new episode and you feel you’ve seen it before.
The Law & Order SVU episode “Hothouse” is …
Ghost Hunters: Houses of the Holy
This episode of Ghost Hunters “Houses of the Holy” was somewhat interesting but not because they found anything overly impressive.
I think the best part of this episode, which involves the TAPS team investigating the home of a religious leader, is the discussion of how religious beliefs and the paranormal …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The O’Hare Story
The story behind Have Gun - Will Travel: The O’Hare Story was basically water rights. The story takes place in Ashley, California. They are afraid of losing their water and their town dying because a neighboring town of Center City is dynamiting and building a dam. …
Gilligan’s Island - X Marks the Spot TV Show
This episode really impresses the fact the castaways are alone and isolated. There is the world and then the castaways. The world has no idea where they are or even know about their island, uncharted. So I also feel a bit alone while watching it. The representation of the …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Three - Clams
One day while working at the Krusty Krab, Mr. Krab finally earns his millionth dollar, and decides as a reward that he is going to take Squidward and Spongebob out for the day and go clam fishing. But before he tells them where he is going to take them, …
CSI New York Season 3 Episode 11- Raising Shane
This episode is connected to a previous one called “Hung Out to Dry.” I really didn’t like that previous episode and I found it really difficult and boring to understand and to follow. Maybe the writers have decided to redeem themselves and brought an ending to that story- and …
Wagon Train: The Robert Harrison Clarke Story
Another of my favorite ninety minute, color episodes of Wagon Train is The Robert Harrison Clarke Story. It guest stars Michael Rennie, who was a terrific actor. He plays Clarke, an Englishmen who is traveling through the west to basically disprove the many things he’s read in …
The Good Wife
The Good Wife is television drama series. It is based on the scandal that Governor Spitzer went through. The main character is a woman who discovers her politician husband is cheating on her with prostitutes and is involved in bribery and corruption. He is sent to …
Star Trek: The Devil in the Dark TV Show
From season one, Star Trek: The Devil in the Dark is one of my favorite episodes of the entire series. There are so many terrific things about this story that make me like it, but the number one element is probably just that it’s the right of a …
South Park - Coon 2 Hindsight
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 …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Shape of Doom TV Show
The 20th episode of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea to air in its second season on the air is called The Shape of Doom. As always, the cast is headlined by Richard Basehart as Admiral Nelson and David Hedison as Captain Crane.
Kevin Hagen, perhaps best known …
Heroes show
Heroes is a show on NBC and it’s one of their top rated shows if you ask me. If you’ve never seen an episode of Heroes, although I don’t know who hasn’t, it’s about people with special abilities. Basically the show follows a handful of people with special abilities …
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 …
Trigun Episode 24 anime
Trigun Episode 24 begins with Vash in L.R. Town, grieving over the death of Wolfwood; he encounters Legato Bluesummers and Midvalley the Horn Freak who attack him and the townspeople in order to make Vash suffer. Milly and Meryl decide to follow him so they can try to …
The Virginian: The Intruders TV show
The Virginian: The Intruders had some comedic tones to it early on, though those elements gave way eventually to some dramatic beats that were quite heavy in nature.
Some of the fun for me in watching The Intruders was seeing David Macklin as Eddie Tighe, an easterner who came to …
Smallville show
Smallville is a show on the CW network that’s been around for eight seasons and going on it’s ninth and last season. Smallville is about the early life of Clark Kent before he became Superman. It’s kind of a slow progression starting in high school and moving forward to …

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 …
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Thirty Hours
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Thirty Hours is one of the better episodes of this animal adventure series. It has a lot of basic hurt-comfort elements to it, and that’s a style of TV show I tend to enjoy, even I don’t like the series overall.
On the plus side …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Moor’s Revenge
From season two, Have Gun - Will Travel: The Moor’s Revenge is half comedy, half drama, though it’s more laughter than gunfight. This is the first time I can recall that the guest stars had their names in the opening title and not just at the end. …
Kekkaishi Episode 3 (Anime)
Kekkaishi Episode 3 has Yoshimori and Tokine meeting Yomi, a mysterious girl who knew Tokine’s father before he died. But nothing is as it seems and they don’t know her ulterior reasons for meeting them.
This episode was really good because it expanded on the world of Kekaishi and …
Kid Nation show

The controversy surrounds whether kids should be left in a potential Lord-of-the-Flies situation where there are no moms and dads to tie …
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 …
Teen Wolf: Season 2 TV show
My girlfriend was bored a few weeks back, and she found herself perusing Netflix for a movie to stream. She stumbled upon the television program Teen Wolf, and our two week addiction ensued.
I was hooked from the first episode I watched, which was the fourth episode into the …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Lessons
Star Trek: The Next Generation - “Lessons” is an episode that on some levels I really like, but the way in which the episode is handled overall bothers me. In this episode, Captain Picard begins to develop feelings for a new officer and as they begin to explore their …
Family Guy TV Show
The teen-adult oriented cartoon comedy Family Guy is one of the funniest shows currently on the air. The creators of the show are absolutely genius.
The story revolves around the Griffin family. They are pretty much your typical American family yet they go through a lot of shenanigans. Every …
Boston Legal
Boston Legal stars James Spader and William Shatner
This show could have easily been another dull lawyer show but these two actors and the weekly introduction of weird characters make this a comedy hit. I remember The Practice and seeing James Spader introduced to that cast list. …
CSI New York Season 3 Episode 20
This is the absolutely my favourite episode of CSI New York ever. Usually when I watch TV I do a whole bunch of things in between, but this time I was so into the story I think I was sitting the whole time with my mouth open. It …
Ghost Whisperer: The Children’s Parade TV Show
Ghost Whisperer: The Children’s Parade is potentially a very nice series ender. It wasn’t filmed that way, or then again, maybe it was. The show has been cancelled by CBS, though there are rumors that ABC might pick it up. All of that just happened, though, …
Stargate SG-1: Icon
This unusual episode shows what can happen when Earth sticks their collective noses into another world’s business, something Jack points out to Daniel at one point. Every time they go through the Gate, they impact the world they’re traveling to. This show, Icon, is really the first …

From November 1962, the third season of this wonderful comedy series, The Andy Griffith Show: Lawman Barney has Sheriff Andy Taylor (Andy Griffith) attempting to get his deputy’s confidence back on track after Barney Fife (Don Knotts) is intimated by a couple of mobile street vendors.
It all begins simply …
Sea Hunt: The Shipwreck TV Show
Towards the end of its first season, Sea Hunt aired an episode called The Shipwreck. Among its guest stars was Leonard Nimoy. Nimoy actually did several episodes of this underwater TV show. I guess he had that outdoors look they liked.
Sea Hunt stars Lloyd Bridges, and …
Fame: The Crazies
Mr. Shorofsky calls it The Crazies, a time in the year when everyone goes a little nuts, and that is indeed what Fame: The Crazies. The catalyst for a big part of the insanity is Doris Schwartz (Valerie Landsburg) who gets on an honesty kick, something that becomes …
True Beauty: The Stealing Challenge TV Show
I can’t believe ABC renewed the True Beauty series. I watched it in total disbelief last season. The concept is that models compete in various challenges for what they think are events to find the most beautiful person. Well, they’re right, except that the models assume …
Tom&Jerry Episode: Missing Mouse
This episode starts off different with Tom having the upper hand on Jerry who runs into a wall and gets drenched in white shoe polish. Tom laughs and goes to listen to the radio when a news flash comes on about a white mouse escaping from a lab that …
Stargate SG1: Crossroads
“Crossroads” is another Jaffa oriented episode of Stargate SG1. As I have said previously in other reviews, I am not a big fan of all the Jaffa storylines. Some yes, but there are others I find very boring. This is especially true when Bra’tac is not …
Dead Like Me: Reaping Havoc
Dead Like Me: Reaping Havoc was actually an interesting episode from the first season of this science fiction series which aired on Showtime. The main thrust of the story surrounds George’s decision that maybe it’s time to make some friends, a concept that is foreign to her as …
Highway Patrol: Convict’s Wife TV Show
From season two, Highway Patrol: Convict’s Wife revolves around a man who escapes from capture and heads for his wife, from whom he’s separated. She wants to believe the best about him, but she’s essentially going her own way.
Anne Carroll played the wife, Betty Brandon, but I wasn’t …
Sea Hunt: The Poacher TV Show
Sea Hunt: The Poacher takes place in Silver Springs, Florida. This is actually the sight where a lot of the underwater shots for the Sea Hunt series are taken. In the show, Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) is doing a scientific survey about whether or not salt water …
