Stargate SG-1: Double Jeopardy was Michael Shanks’ debut as a director. It was a daunting task that pretty much took care of any desires he had to direct more. Shanks likes to understand all aspects of show business, which is why he’s dabbled in writing an SG-1 …

The 12th episode of season 2 of The Vampire Diaries called “The Descent” was very moving and one of the most emotionally memorable episodes of the entire show. Not only does a myth about werewolves and vampires come to light, but the characters of Mystic Falls are in for …

This edition of America’s Got Talent was dubbed The You Tube Special because for the first time it centered on a You Tube competition where one act would be added to the overall competition.
I have to say that I’m really tired of the current panel of judges for this …

Thriller: Dark Legacy was from the first season of this science fiction series. The anthology show was headlined by Boris Karloff, who introduced the tale in his special style. Sometimes Karloff’s bit are more entertaining than the rest of the hour. In the case of …

I came home tonight and my wife had MTV on. I haven’t been on that channel in a while but did get to see a show I’ve never seen before “Parental Control.”
The concept behind the show is an interesting one. You have a set of parents who don’t like …

The comic relief and the ‘oops, please don’t notice we changed actors’ segment of From the Earth to the Moon comes in Part 7: That’s All there Is. This segment is aptly narrated by the character of Alan Bean (Dave Foley).
Actually, what really surprised me is that I’ve …

The television, cartoon version of Santa Claus is Coming to town is my personal favorite of all of the Christmas, holiday special shows.
I like to watch this particular show year after year.
This is where Kris Kringle comes to town to give presents to all the children, only to find …

Sam has a dream in which everyone is blocked in time except him. He invites Annie for a cappuccino but she says she doesn’t know what a cappuccino is. That’s really funny isn’t it? Sam is from 2008 and he had an accident and woke up in 1973 so …

The episode opens with Monarch pursuing Dr. Venture. It’s one of those moments where Monarch is actually a legitimate menace. His men have captured the boys and Hatred is locked in battle with 21. Dr. Venture calls time out because he has to attend a therapy …

Apollo Wives aired on the BBC surprisingly and covered a reunion of Apollo astronaut wives in Arizona. I’ve watched a bunch of astronaut related programs over the years and this one was very different.
My chief criticism off the bat is that they didn’t identify who was talking as …

We watched the 2009 UAAP Cheerdance Competition on television and I was very much entertained. This cheerdancing competition is open to the university members of UAAP (Philippines). This competition has been done annually for the last fifteen years, and slowly the quality of the cheerdance has improved.
This year though, …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Long Hunt gives us a Paladin we’ve never seen before. He’s a man with a beard! What’s even more fun is that he actually apologizes for it, as if to explain it to viewers who don’t understand the passage of time. …

Is anyone else out there tired of American Idol? Sometimes I feel like I’m the only person in the country that doesn’t like it. I see why the show appeals to so many, but personally, I’m just plain sick of it!
First of all, most of the winners really haven’t …

One of the final episodes of the first season, The Andy Griffith Show: The Inspector began with a classic scene of Barney playing checkers against himself. Now it’s a hoot, but haven’t we all done something like this before? I think that’s why it works so well. …

The great Kirk Douglas was the honoree who was roasted on this edition of The Dean Martin Comedy Hour. I like to see performers of his caliber in the hot seat. Usually someone like Douglas means more appropriate people on the dais, though not always.
One of my …

Whenever I have the spare time I love to watch the television. Normally I will be free in the afternoon and I watch some cookery shows. There is a cookery show, which I never miss to watch and that is the Khana Khazana. This cookery show …

The western series JT Edsons Floating Outfit are based on a group of people in the western era who help people.
I love this series. I like the imagery that Mr. Edson uses in his books. He brings his characters to life so easily. I can picture the events in …

A Conversation with James Drury is forty-five minutes of interesting comments and remarks from this actor who is mostly remembered for playing the title role in the 90-minute NBC western, The Virginian. Now I want to say off the bat that traditionally, I’m not a fan of Drury …

Over the years that I have watched the Comedy Central Roasts, I have liked some and disliked others. Most of the Roasts have not been very amusing with one or two funny comedians who graced the stage, while others are just down-right terrible. I did want to see the …

This is a unique show on Spike. It’s actually a Japanese game show that relies on strange physical challenges and obstacle courses. While this might be entertaining in its own right, the true entertainment value of the show comes from its dubbing. They’ve thrown out any …

This year featured a new reality type show called the Next Best Thing. The show featured people impersonating movie stars or other famous people. While the show was slightly boring watching week to week. The semi=finals of the show was simply outstanding. The winners were …

Confessions of a Teen Idol - Episode 6 continued to examine the possible comebacks of one-time teen idols, including Adrian Zmed, Jeremy Jackson, Eric Neis, and Billy Hufsey. This time, the guys had to go up against the gatekeepers, a group of Hollywood casting directors and such, and …

I’m so sorry that Everybody Loves Raymond is no longer in production, but fortunately, we can see it in reruns practically every day of the week. The show never fails to make me laugh.
I think what is unusual about this show is that its humor is not really …

From season two, The Andy Griffith Show: Barney and the Choir is a hoot. It has story problems in terms of continuity, but you just can’t beat this for entertainment.
This is a theme that was repeated multiple times over the course of this series while Don Knotts was …

This particular episode of Adam-12 isn’t that high up on my list, though it does have some memorable moments.
A lot of folks remember this one for the face off that occurs between two supposedly passive guru types, one of whom is played by “Police Woman” star, Charles Dierkop. …

“Louise’s Setback” is an episode of “The Jeffersons”. Louise is the central character of focus in this episode. A local television show decides to do a story on the suicide hotline at the Help Center, and that means Louise is the one that will be interviewed since she is …

I wasn’t a huge fan of the show Ghost Hunters Academy last year. But, because there wasn’t much else on TV last night, I did decide to sit down to watch the Season 2 premiere of it.
It still isn’t my favorite show. But, I did see enough changes in …

I was flipping channels this morning before work and came across one of my favorite MASH episodes; “War of Nerves.”
This episode features Sidney Freeman, one of my favorite minor characters, as he ends up at the 4077th with a head injury. While there, he is asked to give therapy …

After watching this, I have to admit there is a light hearted feel the whole way through. But in contrast the Castaways go through a phase of insecurity and doubt all because Gilligan decided to write in his diary that offsets the balance. I find a lot of Gilligan’s …

The Twilight Zone: Miniature is what I would call a quiet little story, in part because it’s somewhat fairytale-ish. Robert Duvall plays the role of Charley Parkes, a rather mild man, perhaps timid, reserved, and not getting much out of life. He’s lost in the middle of …

Synopsis: The SVU team tries to prove a prostitute (who killed a man in self defense when he attempted to rape her) is really a serial killer who has killed at least three others.
What I liked about this episode: The prostitute they captured is very manipulative and it was …

This episode was…interesting. 21, grief stricken over the death of his buddy, decides to get revenge on those he believes are responsible, namely, Hank and Dean.
It seems 21 has been pushing himself to new limits as he’s the most feared of the henchmen. …

It was a very spontaneous decision to watch the first episode of Masterchef that was on the Fox network last night. I dislike Gordon Ramsey greatly. He’s a loudmouth, obnoxious man, at least that’s how he presents himself to be on television. I just can’t stomach …

This was the first of many alternate reality shows that Stargate SG1 would do. It is also one of my favorite episodes from Season One. Maybe it’s because this episode is Daniel-centric or maybe it’s because it was very well written and fun to watch.
Daniel and the …

Well, I will admit, I had some doubts about the Psych episode Bounty Hunters because I really did think it would be a little on the stupid side of things; to the point it wouldn’t be as funny as other episodes. However, overall, I have to admit, this one …

Playing into what is popular at the time is what South Park seems to aim for these days, and this episode, entitled “Whale Whores”, is a prime example of this. The Japanese travel around killing dolphins and whales, and it is up to Stan, who takes over an anti …

Tin Man was one of the worst episodes of Season One. It revolved around the fact that SG1, while visiting a planet, is knocked out and turned into robots.
When they first wake up they don’t realize that anything is wrong. Harlan, the annoying little man …

Laramie: Queen of Diamonds is a marvelous first show for the second season of this western that I adore greatly. One of the things that make it special is the guest star, Julie London. Decades later, London co-starred with Laramie star Robert Fuller in Emergency! While …

The show Next top Model featuring Tyra Banks is great. While it is on channel 11. The show is also featured on MTV which I do like more as they run the marathons so you can watch the entire season in one sitting instead of waiting week …

Teach - Tony Danza: Tested was the second show in this documentary series in which one time boxer turned actor and dancer Tony Danza is teaching English to a class of 10th grade students at Northeast High School in Philadelphia.
I remember hearing Danza talk about this before he actually …

Airing in March 1960, Sea Hunt: The Fearmakers was the 12th episode to air in the underwater adventure series’ third season. This is another show where diver Mike Nelson, nicely acted by Lloyd Bridges, is working with the United States Coast Guard for which he’s a member of …

In M*A*S*H: The Tooth Shall Set You Free, Major Charles Emerson Winchester III (David Ogden Stiers) has a nasty toothache but refuses to see a dentist, actually denying he’s in pain at all.
While the comedy portion of the show centers on Winchester, the drama is about the latest group …

Although at the time of this stage show, the League of Gentlemen were perhaps best known for their television program of the same name; they had their beginnings, like a great deal of comedians, on the stage. And, once you’ve taken the time to enjoy this live show, you’ll …

This review centers around the Week 4 results for the 11th season of Dancing With the Stars, which for the most part has been a pretty exciting season. I must admit that has been a surprise. I hadn’t expected all that much from the series this year. …

I’m combining reviews here on “Adam-12″ because as respects “Log 102″, I just have nothing to say. It’s heavy on the drug scene of the day, and I’ve just seen so much of that I’m sort of numb about it now. It’s just another Narco-related show. …

I have recently started to watch the TV series Dark Angel. Jessica Alba is the main character, and I have to say that she could use some acting lessons. Sometimes she over acts, and sometimes she under acts. She does not seem to be able to …

I missed the new episode of Monk on Friday night but did manage to catch the Psych episode “Earth Wind and Wait For It.”
While it wasn’t half bad, it also wasn’t the best I’ve seen.
This episode had Shawn and Gus investigating a series of arsons that revealed dead bodies. …

A UFO convention? A transvestite blogger somehow linked to the three-dot symbol? Are you kidding me? I’m beginning to wonder if the writers of this show were severely desperate for ideas here. Alan Park, our transvestite blogger, is the worst part of the entire episode. I don’t know about …

In this episode, Lex wakes up to eat breakfast when he notices the food is gone and immediately points the finger at Bray and Amber for letting him stay in the mall. Shortly after, Bray returns with Trudy and asks if she can stay because she is pregnant. Lex …
