Destination Truth TV Episode: Spirits of Easter Island
Well, last night was the season finale of Destination Truth; Spirits of Easter Island. And, upon reflecting on it a bit, I have to say it was actually a bit of a disappointment for me.
Seeing Easter Island and all those giant heads was pretty cool. But, the investigation really …

Ghost Hunters: Civil War Spirits
Sometimes being a skeptical person can ruin my TV watching experience. This is especially true whenever there is a good Ghost Hunters episode on TV, like last night’s episode “Civil War Spirits.”
In the show, they were actually chasing Revolutionary War ghosts at a farm house built on land during …
Highway Patrol: Hot Dust TV Show
Highway Patrol: Hot Dust, a third season episode from 1957, was quite interesting to watch. It concerned a young man named Harry Wells. He accidentally spills a container of radioactive material and then he panics. While he picks up the canister and places it in a …
CSI: New York: Out of the Sky TV Show
CSI: New York: Out of the Sky was just a so so outing in my opinion. I wasn’t particularly captivated by the hour or even intrigued. What was disappointing is that the opening teaser had some promise, but then once it was done, it just droned on …

Confessions of a Teen Idol - Episode 4
Flipping through the channels yesterday, I landed on a show that surprised me. It had a couple of recognizable faces on it, though they were older. With time, I realized I was watching Confessions of a Teen Idol - Episode 4.
I wasn’t really sure what Confessions of …
Criminal Minds show
Criminal Minds is a standing 8pm Wednesday night appointment in my home. I’m not sure why but this show that allows us to see directly into the evils of the human mind is addictive. Maybe it’s the interest I have always had in the art of profiling.
I love …
Ghost Hunters Academy: The Honeymoon is Over
Well, episode 2 of Ghost Hunters Academy did at least have the “students” doing more than the first episode, as they explored a haunted battleship. But, it also revealed that these participants aren’t very good at working as a team.
Basically, you have one who claims to be a medium …
Tales of the Gold Monkey: Tales of the Gold Monkey: Part 2
Tales of the Gold Monkey, the pilot, Part 2 concludes the pilot, which surprised me by holding my interest.
As Jake Cutter, Stephen Collins has the right amount of swagger, heart, and courage. I love his relationship with his dog, Jack, and the blooming emotions he’s getting with Sarah …
Super Gran TV show
I was really pleased the other day to discover that Super Gran is being shown on TV again, since I had thought that it had been long since forgotten by most people and would gradually fade into the distance with only the occasional DVD release to self-mocking older viewers …
The How To Channel
This is a fantastic channel that Foxtel Australia have. I has Martha, as in Martha Stewart, which is a really good show and the last month they showed Martha’s daughter and her radio co-host who were hilarious together. I also love a show on there …

That Girl: Pass the Potatoes, Ethel Merman
Season two of That Girl begins with one of my favorite episodes for the entire series. It’s called Pass the Potatoes, Ethel Merman and obviously guest stars the wonderful Ethel Merman.
First, though, it’s appropriate to mention the new opening for the show. It’s actually much more sophisticated …
The 36th Annual People’s Choice Awards
There was a time when I wouldn’t miss this awards show, but as Hollywood changed and what America watched changed, I lost interest. It never got as bad as the American Music Awards, but it came close sometimes. The thing about this particular awards show is that …

The Andy Griffith Show: Andy the Marriage Counselor TV Show
From its first season on the air, The Andy Griffith Show: Andy the Marriage Counselor was a solid outing, more for its side gag than for the actual plot in my opinion.
When the show starts, we see Deputy Barney Fife reading “The Art of Judo” after which he goes …

Pokemon (TV Show) - The Ghost of Maidens Peak (Episode)
“The Ghost of Maidens Peak” is an episode of the “Pokemon” television series. This episode has a mysterious and eerie aire to it that I like. It almost feels like a Halloween episode as it features a ghost Pokemon and part of the episode plays out overnight, with a …
Naruto Episode 32 Subbed
This episode has some action in it, but not a lot, and it certainly is not very exciting. Despite the fact that we have seen very little of Rock Lee in the previous episodes, everything we have seen points at him as being quite powerful, but he is nothing …
Dating in the Dark
Judging from the majority of reality shows out today, I’m not the type of person to usually watch them. I feel like it’s all a bunch of pre-meditated and rehearsed drama. I get sick of seeing people arguing with eachother on national televison over rumors, over a man, over …
Centennial: For as Long as the Waters Flow
The worst thing about Centennial: For as Long as the Waters Flow is that we’ve lost the wonderful character of Elly Zendt, played so nicely by Stephanie Zimbalist. In reality, she was only around for one episode and for such a great character, it was a shame to …

Game of Thrones:Episode 1: Winter is Coming
I just simply saw the IMDB reviews of the series the Game of Thrones and immediately, I wanted to see it so bad because it had 9.5 rating and great reviews. It is based on a book, but I would really rather watch it than read it so I …
Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School
For some insane reason, the famous Mo’Nique decided to pull the rejects from Flavor of Love and put them into a show of her own called ‘Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School’ in order to change them for the better. At first I have no idea why anybody …

Angel Episode 1.1: City Of

Star Trek: The Time Trap TV Show
I absolutely love the concept behind the animated program, Star Trek: The Time Trap. This 1973 series did a lot of shows that built on some of the live action shows, but they also had several, like this one, which were quite original to the Star Trek universe. …
The X-Files: Season 1, Episode 23: Roland
On its own merits, this episode is not half bad. The one major drawback is that the plot is very, very similar to that of the last episode. While comparison between this and “Born Again” were inevitable, I can’t help but feel like the producers made a …
Avatar: The Last Airbender: Book 1, Episode 10: Jet

The Ray Bradbury Theater: Sun and Shadow TV Show
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Sun and Shadow from October 1992 was a show that I had some problems with, not in terms of the production but in the main character and what his supposedly heroic deeds were. Heroic may not be the right word. Perhaps it’s more …
