HI-Jinks! TV Show
This show started it’s first season on NICK @ Nite, in the Summer of 2005.
It was decently funny, but got old fairly quick.
The point was to have parents prank their kids with the help of the host (Layla Spettanni), and at the end, they would have a celebrity …
MacGyver: Jack of Lies
I don’t like it, and I’ll say that up front. MacGyver: Jack of Lies is the first appearance of the Jack Dalton character. This guy is the same kind of character that Tom Selleck dealt with on Magnum P.I., the annoying chum that he can’t help but …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Lady of the Fifth Moon TV Show
For its 29th episode of season 6, Have Gun - Will Travel presents a very poetic show called The Lady of the Fifth Moon. I have a few thoughts about this episode, and they follow.

Dollhouse
Dollhouse is a television show that aired on Fox. At first I wasn’t too interested in the show, it seemed too scientific and filled with jargon. The basic premise being people sign their lives over to a corporation for five years and in that five years their …
America’s Got Talent
I usually don’t sit down and watch America’s Got Talent because I had gotten so used to watching other talent search shows like American Idol or So You Think You Can Dance. However, sometimes there’s just not anything else on entertaining. The judges are really fun to watch too …
Star Trek TV Show
The Star Trek television series has always been a favorite of mine. It’s among the best ever in terms of talking about the human condition and ideals. Gene Roddenberry created this wonderful show which has spawned several spin offs and several movies. This original series starred …
The Virginian: Woman from White Wing

The Andy Griffith Show: Wedding Bells for Aunt Bee TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Wedding Bells for Aunt Bee, a second season show that aired in April 1962, just isn’t a favorite of mine. I’ve never liked it, even though there are a couple of good scenes that I do like. It’s just the concept with all …
Family Guy: Petergiest
This entertaining enough parody of the horror movie Poltergeist proves to be a solid episode from the forth season.
It’s a pretty affectionate spoof, with Stewie stepping into the shoes of Carol Anne and effeminate Bruce popping up in a role influenced by Zelda Rubenstein’s diminutive medium. After a …
South Park - Crippled Summer
Just this title told me that it had something to do with either Timmy or Jimmy. While I like both characters, having just episodes about them have been hit and miss episodes in general. They haven’t really come up to par with …

It tells the story of two crimes. In the first one, the CSI team is called to investigate the death of …
Tales of the Gold Monkey: Honor Thy Brother
I must admit that Tales of the Gold Monkey: Honor Thy Brother isn’t one of my favorite episodes of the series. It begins with Jake Cutter (Stephen Collins) having a lot of close calls. He survives them all, but realizes that it’s actually intentional. There’s …
Sponge Bob
Sponge Bob is a great show. I think this show is very funny and creative. But I also think that who ever writes the show is on some serious drugs. I mean the stuff they come up with on this show is really crazy, and very funny. It really out …
The X-Files Die Hand Die Verletzt Episode
I can’t say that I loved this episode of the popular 90s American television series “The X-Files”. It was not because I found anything wrong with the television show either since I thought the plot was okay, it was written just as good as the other ones and the …
Avatar: The Last Airbender: Book 3, Episode 9: Nightmares and Daydreams
Talk about mood whiplash, after the very dark, very creepy “Puppetmaster” episode we have what is probably one of the funniest episodes in the entire series.

The Beast - Nadia
The third episode of A&E’s series, The Beast, is called Nadia, and once again, I’m intrigued.
Patrick Swayze’s Charles Barker character continues to excite. He’s natural and at ease with the part. His actions and movements are subtle and well timed. He’s a veteran performer, and it …

What I liked about this episode: Overall, this episode honestly wasn’t anything overly special compared to …
Friends Episode: The One When Ross Moves In
Friends Episode: The One When Ross Moves In is one of the not so bad episodes in Friends. Ross can be quite irritating when he wants to and that sort of disgust Joey and Chandler. Therefore, Ross knowing that he is irritating and getting on the nerves of …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Lake TV Show
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Lake aired in July 1989, and it’s turned out to be one of my favorites so far. This is the third season of Bradbury science fiction stories that aired, and it’s been pretty much a love/hate relationship for me. A show either …

Burn Notice: Breaking and Entering
Burn Notice: Breaking and Entering is the first episode of the second season, and it’s the conclusion of a sort of cliffhanger, meaning there’s a lot of history that a new viewer such as myself needs to pick up on in terms of knowing the story.
One of the things …

The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Pilot
In 1993, the western returned to television on the Fox Network. It received a lot of buzz. I remember this pretty well. Series star Bruce Campbell was new to most people and was given a lot of press. Just like the old days of Gene …
The Celebrity Apprentice
Now what I liked about the Celebrity Apprentice was that we knew almost everyone who was competing. There were a few contestants I wasn’t familiar with but the presence of the other celebrities made up for it.
I think the difference between this and the regular Apprentice is that …
House TV Episode: Small Sacrifices
Even though I really thought I would stop watching the show House, I have nothing better to do Monday nights and have been catching some of the newer episodes.
For the most part, I have been pleasantly surprised. The episodes seemed like they were following the same basic format the …
Duck Dodgers
I was flipping through channels the other day and I came across Duck Dodgers on one of our cartoon channels. I figured it was just a re-run of some of the older Daffy Duck cartoons. But, when I clicked on it, I discovered it was a modernized version of …
