Maalaala Mo Kaya Drama
Abs-Cbn Channel is much known for providing good drama series over the years. Though its rival network has produced drama series, many people are still convinced they are not as good as the Channel 2’s. I am here to talk about the “Maalaala Mo Kaya” drama anthology. This is …
House: Maternity
I’ve seen dozens of episodes of the show House but one of the most depressing episodes is the one entitled “Maternity.”
I’m an expectant parent so any show that involves sick babies is going to hit a nerve. This episode goes all out, creating an epidemic at the hospital involving …
Graham Hancock’s Quest for the Lost Civilisation
If you are not already familiar with Graham Hancock and his work, consider yourself lucky. Hancock is a quack of the most irritating variety, unable to come up with interesting theories and basing what theories he has on such ludicrous supposition as to make it not crazy enough …
Ghost Hunters: Hellfire Caves
Well, that was interesting. I must have missed something in the third season of Ghost Hunters because the TAPS team apparently went to England to do some investigations; one of with was the Hellfire Caves investigation.
I had heard of the Hellfire Club before but reading about them and seeing …
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 11 (Anime)
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 11 has the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare is broken into and Section 9 investigates it.

Coupling
I decided to watch this BBC television sitcom as it claimed to be like a British version of Friends. This sounded good to me as I loved Friends and was interested to see how they would translate this idea onto the British screen.
In the episode I watched, one …
Destination Truth: Island of the Dolls/Lusca
After watching Destination Truth last week for the first time, I couldn’t wait for last night’s episode “Island of the Dolls/Lusca.” It did not disappoint.
Even my wife, who didn’t get a chance to watch the show with me last week, was impressed.
The first case on this one was definitely …
Bratz Dolls
For a while now, I have seen Bratz dolls on TV. At first I didn’t really pay attention to them, but now, I have noticed something about them. I have noticed that every Bratz doll is wearing something that no self-respecting person would wear. They …
Bones Season 21 Episode 1 -The Soldier on the Grave
There is rarely an episode of Bones that I don’t like. And this one is no exception. But this one is different from the rest of the episodes this season. Usually there is a mixture of serious things with a lot of humour. This time it was very serious and …
Project Runway: Finale Part 2 TV Show
The second part of the finale for this season’s edition of Project Runway was both boring and exciting. It entertained and blahed. The reason? Well, in my opinion, I think it had too much time allotted to it. It was a full 2 hours and just …
Stargate SG-1: Threshold
Stargate SG-1: Threshold is focused on trying to undo the brainwashing that Apophis had done on Teal’c, who now believes the Goa’uld is a god and that he is his First Prime. To try and get Teal’c back mentally, Bra’tac returns to the SGC to proceed with a …
Lego Star Wars: Wii game
Lego Star Wars is a fun and exciting game for the Wii. I bought this game for my kids as a present and they have had hours of fun with it. I also love that I can play it with them and have just as much fun. Every time …
Third Rock from the Sun TV Episode: I am Dick Pentameter!
Well, that was a fun way to spend lunch; watching an old episode of the show Third Rock From the Sun; I am Dick Pentameter!
I never really watched this show when it was on the air but this episode is one I kind of regretted not seeing before. Basically, …
Coffee, Tea or Me? movie
Coffee, Tea or Me? is a cute little made for TV movie from 1973 that actually tackled the surprising subject matter of bigamy. Of course, it’s done humorously and with the best of intentions. The movie stars Karen Valentine, who is a much better actress than all …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Last Judgment TV Show
From the fourth year of Have Gun - Will Travel, The Last Judgment finds Paladin (Richard Boone) defending Dr. Simeon Loving (Donald Randolph) of murder in a town that is ready to hang him. It’s not so much because they believe the man to be guilty, but it’s …
SOUTHPARK TV SHOW
Please, enjoy South Park as much as you like, but, please, be certain that the children cannot hear nor see the television when you do it! My husband and his delivery men all think this is about the funniest show on television. It isn’t that it doesn’t have …
Fireball XL5: Invasion Earth
One of the notable things about Fireball XL5: Invasion Earth is that we actually hear an alien language being spoken. Most of the time the aliens have been speaking English. Of course, that’s standard practice for science fiction series, but that is precisely why it sticks out …
Columbo: Last Salute to the Commodore TV Show
I don’t really remember watching this show, Columbo: Last Salute to the Commodore, but I’m sure I did. It’s just fallen out of my brain, and I believe the reason for that is that it’s quite possibly the worst episode of Columbo ever. It’s dull, not just …
Law and Order: CI Season 1, Episode 5
During the first season the show struggled a little bit and that becomes clear in this episode. The episode itself features a storyline surrounding a con artist from France. We first see a rich woman heading off to meet up with her lover for the night. When she arrives …
Doogie Howser M.D.
I think that Doogie Howser M.D. is one of the coolest old TV shows I saw growing up as a kid. This show was alway really funny. I think it was really cool how Doogie Howser was so smart even though he was so young. I mean he used …

Daily Show with John Stewart
Many years ago the Daily Show gained a cult following under the leadership of its original host, Craig Kilborn. With success came better offers for Mr. Kilborn, however, and he eventually made the switch to network television. John Stewart took his place.
Initially lacking, he soon came to …
Ghost Hunters TV Episode: Spirits in the Night
Well, another Ghost Hunters episode down and even more doubts about why I bother to watch this show in the first place.
This time around, they did investigate a private home rather than a tourist trap. That was OK. I also liked the fact they added a new investigator for …
Soundstage Presents Josh Groban TV Show
Popular singer Josh Groban was the featured performer on this rendition of the PBS series Soundstage. It’s a great showcasing of talent in a much more intimate setting than we often get to see. Actually, this is something Groban addresses after his opening song. It’s a …
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: Bette Davis TV Show
Incredibly, somehow, Dean Martin convinced the acclaimed actress Bette Davis to be roasted on his TV show as the Woman of the Week. That just astounds me, but she did it, appearing on this episode ofThe Dean Martin Comedy Hour.
Oddly, I wasn’t that thrilled with Dean’s opening remarks, …
Wagon Train: Little Girl Lost
Wagon Train: Little Girl Lost is a story from the final season of Wagon Train. It’s a little unusual for a western to have this type of story. I think it was perhaps their strange attempt at a Christmas tale since the story aired in Mid-December of …
Doctor Who season 1 episode 4 Aliens of London
This was a rather funny but still very serious episode, it still didn’t convince me this wasn’t a children’s show but I guess I am considering of promoting it to adult show.
Rose and The Doctor arrived back to London, although The Doctor wanted to take them back to the …
Wagon Train: The Fenton Canaby Story
Wagon Train: The Fenton Canaby Story is a little out of my type of fun to be a favorite. Jack Kelly guest stars as Fenton Canaby, a disgraced wagonmaster who many believe was the cause for the deaths of those crossing the plains with him. He …
Family Guy:PTV
I hadn’t seen the Family Guy episode PTV in a while so I was thrilled to come across it on television today.
This is a fantastic episode because it makes a mockery on how the FCC will sometimes overreact to people overreacting to something they might be offended to, rather …
Tales of the Gold Monkey: The Lady and the Tiger
I just love Jack the one-eyed dog. He’s played by Leo, and this dog is phenomenal. He has character and must have been very well trained. He actually is now in the opening credits of the series. That started pretty early in the series. …
Law and Order SVU Season 1 Episode 6 Sophmore Jinx
Law and Order SVU Season 1 Episode 6 Sophmore Jinx
I did not like this episode, because, first of all, I didn’t understand it. And secondly, I didn’t understand the point of having it at all. Eventually, the killer is discovered, the oldest story that happens in …
The Sing-off
I didn’t intend on watching NBC’s new show The Sing-off. But, I took a shower last night and, when I came back in the living room, my wife had it on. So, I ended up watching one episode of it anyway.
It was an OK show but nothing special.
It was …

Smallville Season 7 episode 7
I enjoyed this episode. The story was that Clark and Lana are together when lightning strikes and Clark’s powers are transferred to Lana. Clark still has his powers and now so does Lana.
The episode started of kind of funny watching Lana giddy with joy at moving at …

Stargate SG-1: Within the Serpent’s Grasp
Stargate SG-1: Within the Serpent’s Grasp is the last episode of season 1, the end of the 3-story season-ending arc, and the first of the 2-part cliffhanger. That’s a lot of show!
As mentioned in prior reviews, Daniel Jackson has a way of getting through to Jack O’Neill, and …
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.

A-Team TV Episode: Mission of Peace
I ended up stumbling across the A-Team episode Mission of Peace early Sunday morning. And, because I had missed the first few minutes of it, I found myself watching mainly in an effort to figure out what the heck was going on.
Overall though, it was a pretty decent episode.
Basically, the …
Celebrity Eye Candy- Inappropriate Moments
Inappropriate Moments- I don’t usually watch all the celebrity blooper and paparazzi shows that come on VH1. But when I was flipping channels, I found this one extremely hilarious. The announcer and the participants have rounded up clips of paparazzi footage that shows the celebrities …
Captain Phil Harris
Captain Phil Harris used to run the Cornelia Marie, a crab fishing boat profiled on the Discovery Channel documentary show, “Deadliest Catch”. I love the entire show, but watching Captain Phil is probably my favorite part of the series. Though Captain Phil recently died of stroke complications, …

Americas Most Smartest Model
My wife absolutely loves modeling contests on television. I’m not sure what she enjoys about them, but whenever a new one comes on, you can be sure we’re going to be watching it.
I personally find the competitions boring. You have a bunch of ex-models or designers judging wannabes that …

The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: No Man’s Land
