Sea Hunt: Man Overboard TV Show
Airing on October 1, 1960 was the final show of Sea Hunt’s third season. Seasons were different back in the day, and they were much longer. This show, Man Overboard, was actually the 39th program of the year. Can you imagine? I do miss the …
Venture Bros: Return to Malice
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. …
Bridezillas (Five TV)
According to Wikipedia, ‘Bridezilla’ “is a generic term used to describe a difficult, unpleasant perfectionist bride who leaves aggravated family, friends and bridal vendors in her wake”, so we can expect a reality show called ‘Bridezillas’ to pick some pretty extreme personalities in order to make a good show, …
The Two Coreys: Episode 1.7 - The Two Coreys
The seventh episode is a season highlight and is quite amusing in many ways. Haim basically corners Feldman into a place that he doesn’t want to be and Feldman has no choice but to go along with it or else he’s royally screwed - and it would all be …
Games
After going through a season filled with a great reality-based hiring process for new assistants, I really expected more from House�s final decision.
The fact he was forced to make his choice was a bit interesting but the doctors dealing with a drugged-out rocker who was more than likely …
Models of the Runway: It’s My Party and I’ll Wear What I Want to
Well, it has happened. When Models of the Runway first came out, I thought it was a refreshing show that gave a nice behind the scenes look at the models of Project Runway. But, I also knew, at some point, the elimination at the end would start getting a …
Lost - First Season
I could tell by the way the first episode began that Lost was going to be a great hit for the producers at ABC.
The story begins as a plane crashes into a lost island, several hours off the original course, making it difficult to envision a rescue. We are …
Jeremiah: And the Ground, Sown with Salt
Jason Priestley guest stars in Jeremiah: And the Ground, Sown with Salt, a show that stars Luke Perry. These two actors were quite the rage back in the days of Beverly Hills 90210, a series I never cared for. I’ve been surprised by Perry in this science …
The Andy Griffith Show: Andy Saves Gomer TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Andy Saves Gomer is a standout episode that lets Jim Nabors shine as the lovable Gomer Pyle.
The show opens with Andy and company getting a letter from Barney, who is in the big city with his cousin, Virgil. It’s interesting that in this fourth …
Sailor Moon Season 1 Episode 1
Sailormoon Season One
Episode 1: A Moon Star is Born
In this episode, we’re given the back story about a moon kingdom that was attacked by the NegaVerse and it was defeated. Queen Serenity of the moon kingdom had no choice but to send the survivors of the kingdom to earth, …
Don’t Forget the Lyrics Television Show
The first time that I saw a glimpse of this show, I did not think that I would like it. I figured that this would be another one of those karaoke centered shows that had contestants filling in the lyrics to randomized popular songs. Although this show …
The Sarah Silverman Program
Sarah Silverman brings her usual blend of the bizarre, the insulting and the anarchic to the small screen in her very own sitcom. Playing a fictionalized version of herself, Sarah idles her way through life, living in a cushy apartment in LA paid for by her doting younger sister …
Law & Order SVU: Unstable
Last night was the season premiere of Law & Order SVU and it was a bit better than expected; though you can only have so many cases involving rape before you start feeling like you’ve watched the show before.
This one had an unstable cop discovering a rape victim and, …
Sudden Link Cable Service
If you are looking for a good cable service and this is the only one available in your area then you will have to let go of the dream of reliable service. If you have the option of going with another provider for your cable company then I suggest that …
Avatar: The Last Airbender Episode 7 (Animated)
Avatar: The Last Airbender Episode 7 has Aang, Katara and Sokka aid a village that is being plagued by a monster. People keep disappearing and Aang promising to find them. Meanwhile, Zuko searches for his Uncle Iroh after he is kidnapped by Earth Kingdom soldiers.
I enjoyed this …
Dr.Oz Show
Dr.Oz is a new talk show that started fall season of 2009. It airs on NBC in the afternoons. I have watched the show from the first episode which started 4 days ago. I am already bored with it. The stage of the show is bland and the host …
Keeping Up With the Kardashians (E! reality show)
Again the reality show has bitten another family. This show has been on E! for a little while, but I’d just never taken the time to watch. Kim Kardashian is a beautiful woman who doesn’t really get a lot of respect in Hollywood. She’s …
The 67th Golden Globe Awards - 2010
I’m not sure I’ve enjoyed an awards show as much as I did The 67th Golden Globes - 2010 in January. I’m not sure why. I’m no fan of Ricky Gervais, the host, and his contribution did nothing to make me smile. Well, I did laugh …
Stargate SG-1: Absolute Power
Stargate SG-1: Absolute Power is an excellent show, though not a personal favorite. It’s another one of the stories that deals with Abydos remnants and references to Oma DeSala, whom I strongly detest. So, while it’s good, it’s not a favorite.
That said, Michael Shanks gets to utilize those …
The Singing Bee Television Show
I was very tired this morning when it was time to get out of bed. And, this time around, it was not because my daughter kept me up all night.
Instead, it was because my wife and I were flipping channels last night and came across a show on CMT …
Trinity Blood episode 8
In the waking dawn of the city, the church bells are rung in joyless splendor before our Lord. A sort of declaration that the new day is finally here. Alas, who would ever guess that these bells would mark the death and destruction of mankind. Welcome to the …
Stargate SG-1: Flesh and Blood
Stargate SG-1: Flesh and Blood is the season ten opener for this show that aired on the Sci Fi Network. This would be the last season for the series, and it’s really a pretty bad one in my opinion.
At the end of season nine, calamity had struck, and …
John Doe season 1 episode 5 John Deux
This episode really has an awkward title if we know that Deux means two in french. At first I was really wondering why would the producer entitled this epsiode the way he did bu then I realised that it is because of a man who shows up and has …
Naruto Special: The Four Leaf Clover
This episode never aired on TV, and was never released in Japan at all, and that was probably for the best. For reasons unknown to me Viz Media decided to release this episode as a special on their first Naruto DVD release in America. At least this episode had …
Highway Patrol: Dan Sick TV Show
Dan Sick was the 38th episode of Highway Patrol’s third season, and it focused on Chief Dan Mathews, as played by Broderick Crawford, becoming ill quite suddenly. Though I have issues with how the show proceeded in spots, it was actually an enjoyable half hour that had me interested …
Highway Patrol: Frightened Witness TV Show
From 1958, the opening episode of Highway Patrol’s final season on the air, its fourth, was called Frightened Witness. The title is a little off as it should have been Frightened Witnesses. That is because there were two scared folks, a couple named Carl and Jennifer Stone. …
Max & Ruby
There really aren�t many cartoons on television I�ll approve 100 percent for my daughter. The bulk of them are either too cheesy or feature crude humor; two things that will either make it boring for her or will make me want to monitor which episodes she watches.
The show Max …
Star Trek: Mudd’s Women TV Show
From October 1966, Star Trek: Mudd’s Women is one of the more entertaining episodes. I actually prefer the follow up from the second season, but nevertheless, this is one of the shows that people tend to remember. A few of the things that stand out for me …
From the Earth to the Moon - Part 7: That’s All There Is
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 …
Remington Steele: Steele Waters Run Deep TV Show
From October 1982 is Remington Steele: Steele Waters Run Deep, episode 3 of the series. Part of the action in this hour is the fake Remington Steele (Pierce Brosnan) wanting to be a real part of the agency and not just a figurehead, so to speak. …
Mr. Monk and the Other Woman
This morning was the first time I’ve seen the Monk episode “Mr. Monk and the Other Woman.” I’m not sure when it was made, but I’m guessing it was sometime in the first season because the police seem like they don’t want his help yet.
Overall, it was a pretty …
Mr. Monk and the Dog
Here are a few thoughts from Friday night’s Monk episode; Mr. Monk and the Dog:
One of the themes in this final season of Monk seems to be Monk’s willingness to try to get over his phobias. Earlier, he conquered his claustrophobia and, in this episode, he took in a …
Highway Patrol: Typhoid Carrier TV Show
From November 1956, Highway Patrol: Typhoid Carrier has Chief Dan Mathews (Broderick Crawford) and his California Highway Patrol dealing with a potential outbreak of typhoid in the small community of Indian Valley. The problem is a man who is a known carrier of the disease. Frightened when …
Tales of the Gold Monkey: A Distant Shout of Thunder
Tales of the Gold Monkey: A Distant Shout of Thunder was all about fears, which is part of the human equation. In fact, after all was said and done, and the radical native with ancient beliefs dealt with, there was this moment of sympathy and regret that was …
Sea Hunt: Amigo TV Show
From March 1961, Sea Hunt: Amigo was an interesting episode that I liked but have an issue with as far as the plot goes. Deep sea diving expert Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) takes a job in San Carlos, Mexico to help extract fossils from a seemingly very difficult …
Thriller: The Prisoner in the Mirror TV Show
From May 1961, Thriller: The Prisoner in the Mirror was one of the first episodes I’d seen of this science fiction anthology. I love the opening with Boris Karloff. From watching this show and others, Karloff does a nice opening and sometimes closing, but what makes it …
That Girl: Eleven Angry Men and That Girl
The first thing I noticed about That Girl: Eleven Angry Men and That Girl is that Don says that his parents are in St. Louis. He and Ann are planning on visiting them. I could be wrong, but I thought there was a mention of them …
MacGyver
For me this television show is one of the rarities the world can cherish. I just hope the episodes had continued up to the present. The show was all about a detective named Angus MacGyver (played by Richard Dean Anderson) who works for Phoenix Foundations. …
Gargoyles: Awakening
I believe that you can’t judge a show a show by the first season. Most shows usually need the first season to get the characters established and for the writers to find their footing. Great shows like Seinfeld and The Simpsons even needed two or three seasons …
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Brisco for the Defense
It’s unusual to have a western whose hero is also a lawyer, especially from Harvard, but that’s what Brisco is and we are reminded of it in The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Brisco for the Defense. Though he hasn’t tried a case in 5 years, he’s called …
Pokemon (TV Show) - Tentacool and Tentacruel (Episode)
“Tentacool and Tentacruel” is an episode of the “Pokemon” television series. I like how the plot of this episode mirrors what goes on sometimes in the real world. In this episode, there’s this greedy businesswoman that’s attempting to build a resort near some coral reefs, where some water Pokemon …
Blacke’s Magic: Forced Landing
In Blacke’s Magic: Forced Landing, Leonard Blacke (Harry Morgan) wins a ghost town in a poker game, but owes a mortgage of $12,000 on it, not to mention some other debts which his son, Alexander Blacke (Hal Linden) has to deal with. The mystery begins when a plane …
Ghost Hunters: Inhuman Entity
Well, I waited for the new Ghost Hunters episode last night and was finally rewarded. Unfortunately, I think I liked the re-runs leading up to it a bit better.
The first case was involving a family that was being terrorized by a spirit and I will admit there was some evidence …
Friends Episode: Phoebe the Workaholic
One of the early episodes whereby we get to glimpse Phoebe’s busy work-life as a stockbroker or something. Phoebe has a lot of work that she does before she becomes a Massage Assistant and the one whereby she becomes a stockbroker is also when she suffers a mini heart-attack. …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: All the Way
Buffy’s final Halloween centric episode is something of a mixed bag. While it does a great job in continuing the pre-existing character and story arcs to great effect, the story itself is weak and lacking. It certainly doesn’t manage to capture the playful essence of the holiday previously seen …
Gilligan’s Island - V is for Vitamins TV Show
This episode is one of the few were their food source, the jungle, actually does not keep up with their survival food needs and in this case the lack of citrus fruits causes problems. But the problem does give an interesting fairytale flavor to it. Perfect for a young …
Captain Planet
Captain Planet was a television carton series that i used to watch in my early teens. I really enjoyed it and I think a lot of people in my generation did as well.
Captain Planet was released at a time where people were starting to become more concious about …
Nanny 911
I can’t help it; I’m obsessed with this TV show every time I end up finding out that it’s on. I guess maybe I’m ‘taking notes’ for the day when my fiance and I have kids and if they’re unruly and whatnot. I like the way the nannies deal …
Bam’s Unholy Union
Last night I watched Bam’s Unholy Union on MTV, they were running a marathon of this show starring Bam Margera and his fiance( then) now Wife Melissa Rothchild, I think thats her name anyhow.
I have been a fan of Bam for quite sometime now. I have every season of …
CHiPs: Supercycle
Quite honestly, I’ve never been a big fan of CHiPs: Supercycle. I’m not sure why, but the idea of this supercycle bothers me. Maybe it’s too Evil Kneivel for me.
One of the reasons the show doesn’t hit me with goodness is that there is too much time …
