Star Trek: The Practical Joker TV Show
There are some fun moments in Star Trek: The Practical Joker, a show from the second season of the animated series based on the original live action series. With the original actors back to voice their characters, it makes it all that much more real.
In this episode, we …
That Girl: They Shoot Pictures, Don’t They?
The first and most noticeable thing about That Girl: They Shoot Pictures, Don’t They? is that Bernie Kopell has also gone mod, which is something I’ve commented on with season four of That Girl. As of this episode, Kopell’s Jerry Bauman has long, extended sideburns and he has …
Heroes tv program
This show is really good, the first couple of episodes I was non-plussed, but now it has me really sucked in and I find I HAVE to watch every week. It follows a group of seemingly unrelated people who suddenly develop special powers and how they try …
A-Team TV Episode: Black Day at Bad Rock
I ended up watching an A-Team re-run this past weekend; Black Day at Bad Rock, which ended up being somewhat good; though it was a bit predictable at times too.
Basically, B.A. is wounded in a fire fight and is taken to a small town hospital where the doctor things …
Doctor Who: Season 2, Episode 8: The Idiot’s Lantern
This is probably the most lackluster Doctor Who episode to date. It had promise, but so much of it fell flat for me that it just wasn’t as enjoyable as the other episodes. The plot is similar to “Batman Forever”, but instead of the Riddler, it’s a …

Thriller: The Incredible Doktor Markesan TV Show
From the second season of Thriller came this episode entitled The Incredible Doktor Markesan, featuring Bewitched’s Dick York as Fred Bancroft and Carolyn Kearney as his wife, Molly. The extra thrill about this hour long anthology episode is that host Boris Karloff appears as Doktor Konrad Markesan, which …
Saving Grace
Think “Touched by an Angel” and an even edgier “NYPD Blue” - and you’ve sort of got the idea. I’ve always been a Holly Hunter fan - so I was happy to see her in primetime (TNT).
I could have done without the …
That 70s Show: Killer Queen
Well, that was a somewhat interesting episode of That 70s Show last night, “Killer Queen.”
Valentine’s Day is a few weeks away yet but they decided to air a Valentine’s Day episode that proved to be quite funny.
My favorite part of this episode was involving Red and Kitty and the …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Inca Mummy Girl
I’m usually not a big fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes when they go off track and don’t even mention vampires. But, I did like the episode Inca Mummy Girl.
I liked this episode, which has the gang tracking down an ancient mummy after the seal keeping her inanimate …
The Virginian: Star Crossed TV Show
A bunch of folks on a message board I’ve been occasionally have all said that the Star Crossed episode of The Virginian was a really good show and may, in fact, be the best one that featured Clu Gulager as Emmett Ryker. That’s why when it came available …
CHiPs: High Flyer
Sadly, the powers that be behind television series often don’t pay attention to their own show’s history. Continuity often has gone into the toilet, so to speak. In CHiPs: High Flyer, we get another example of just how bad it can get when no one cares to …
Pushing Daisies Season 2: Episode 1 Buzzz!
Usually before an episode of Pushing Daisies begins, a Jim Dale narrated summary explains the show’s premise and any extra bits of information the viewer might need. It goes something like: Ned can bring dead things back to life for one minute by touching them; if he touches …
CNN International
CNN International is probably the World’s most popular news channel. Wherever you travel, you can generally receive this channel in hotels, and wherever you live you can probably get this channel at home.
In my opinion CNN has some very good aspects, but in some areas it is very …
Laramie: Handful of Fire TV Show
Laramie: Handful of Fire opened dramatically with Slim Sherman delivering an urgent message to an Army colonel named Barrington, which he ignores. When pressed later, the colonel, a sergeant, and a lieutenant all lie about the orders, claiming that the dispatches Slim was carrying arrived too late. …
That Girl: Fly by Night
There’s a small problem with the continuity of That Girl: Fly by Night in terms of Ann flying. She acts petrified from the beginning, but she’s been on planes to California at least twice and to Las Vegas, which was just this season. She also went …
Diagnosis Murder: Standing Eight Count TV Show
If you’ve read my reviews before, you know that one of the themes of TV shows that I don’t like are ones that focus on any kind of hand to hand fighting, such as boxing. These stories do not appeal to me. I tune out early and …
Dexter Season 6 Episode 1
I have been waiting quite impatiently for the new season of Dexter. It is one of my most favorite shows of all times and it always keeps me on the edge of my seat. It has remarkable writing and amazing actors to play the written words.
In the previous season, …
Experience with Netflix

The television show called Lockup appears on MSNBC and is a great show to watch. Weekly tapings in different prisons throughout the states are featured. Interviews with prisoners of how life is behind bars in maximum security prisons, as well as low threshhold prisons. It is …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Rivals TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: The Rivals, from April 1963, isn’t really my favorite show, but it does have some cute moments. I’m just not really into these young love and puppy love stories that much, and essentially, that’s what this is.
One of the most adorable scenes is at …
That 70s Show: Won’t be Fooled Again
Well, that was a cute episode of That 70s Show; Won’t be Fooled Again.
There are two story lines that were worth following in this one. First, Donna forgets to take one of her birth control pills and, before too long, everyone learns there’s a chance she might be pregnant, …

Tenspeed and Brown Shoe TV Show
As a series, Tenspeed and Brown Shoe was abnormal. It was filmed in 1980 under the banner of Stephen J. Cannell’s talents. It co-starred two prolific actors. Ben Vereen had made big time waves in the mini-series Roots. He was also known for great stage …

Sea Hunt: Jettisoned TV Show
From season two, the Jettisoned episode of Sea Hunt occurs after Hurricane Teresa. This adventure series tends to use hurricanes a lot to help the plot of a show. In this case, during the hurricane a pilot had released a nuclear bomb into the ocean for safety …
MANswers
Have you ever asked yourself, how much testosterone and how little brain you can put into a show on national television? Well, MANswers shown on spike is where you get the answer.

Gilligan’s Island - Hi Fi Gilligan TV Show
This episode is great! You know there is not even one dull moment in the whole show, full of surprising events that keeps you guessing what will happen next. It plays as more an outrageous show and yes is unrealistic, but still good. Gilligan of course gets into trouble, …
Hunter: No Good Deed Ever Goes Unpunished TV show

Destination Truth: Chullachaqui/Bermuda Triangle
Wow, that was a great episode of Destination Truth last night.
First, they traveled to South America (again) to hunt down a mythical creature called Chullachaqui; which looks a lot like a goblin. When we first started watching this I told my wife there was no way they would find …
M*A*S*H: Last Laugh
M*A*S*H: Last Laugh is just too vaudeville and slapstick for me to enjoy very much. It’s such low quality compared to the excellency of the prior show that it’s even disappointing.
There are a couple of plots going on, neither of which held my interest. The main story centered …
Spongebob Squarepants: Chimps Ahoy
If you ever wonder exactly why Sandy the squirrel has made her home underwater in Bikini Bottom on the cartoon Spongebob Squarepants, you get an interesting explanation of it in the episode “Chimps Ahoy” which happens to be one of my favorites on this series.
Sandy gets a visit from …
John Doe: Low Art TV show
John Doe: Low Art is fairly entertaining on the whole to watch. The story temporarily puts aside the issue of who John Doe really is and instead focuses on his new friends and John’s ability to interact without acting like a machine.
The catalyst for the mystery element of …

Mr. Monk Paints His Masterpiece
When I watched Friday’s episode of Monk “Mr. Monk Paints his Masterpiece,” I found myself extremely disappointed. I’m not sure if the writers are running out of material or if maybe they want other cast members to get more recognition but this episode was no where near as good …
The Year Without a Santa Claus
The Year Without a Santa Claus first aired in 1974, and it’s been a holiday staple ever since. I’ve watched it every year, and oftentimes more than once. It’s one of the best animated Christmas vehicles out there, in my opinion. In fact, I just watched …
The Loretta Young Show: Sister Ann

M*A*S*H: Sometimes You Hear the Bullet
M*A*S*H: Sometimes You Hear the Bullet is a masterpiece edition of this show in my opinion. I clearly recall watching this show the first time it aired. In fact, I taped it on a cassette recorder when it was rerun because I thought it was just that …
True Blood 3.01 “Bad Blood”
I have to admit to having quite mixed feelings about this particular TV series - although the show can be quite riveting at times, some of its subplots in the past have proven to lack satisfying resolution, the gore and sexuality can be excessive to the point of inducing …
Imedeen Time Perfection Tablets
During my teens and early twenties, I was never bothered about fine lines and wrinkles because I had oily skin and I thought having oily skin means it is also well-moisturized. It turns out I was wrong. As I hit thirty, I noticed that although my skin was still …
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig Episode 7

CSI Season 3 Episode 7- Fight Night
CSI Season 3 Episode 7- Fight Night
It was a good episode, although I felt like the over complicated it a bit. There were just so many cases. The main case, although interesting when they find the variety of evidence that links several people to the defeat of the boxer, …
Frasier: Shrink Rap
I haven’t seen the show Frasier in a long while. But, I was a bit bored tonight and there wasn’t a whole lot else on TV so I tuned it in to the episode “Shrink Rap.”

‘The 100′ is a relatively new show, having premiered earlier this year. It’s already into it’s second season and it is definitely an interesting show. The concept of the show was developed from the first book (The 100) of a series written by Kass Morgan. I watch alot of TV …
