Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends
It used to be I would only tune into Cartoon Network for their Adult Swim line up after 9:30 at night. Now, I’m watching almost all the time in no small part to their show Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends.
Centering around a foster home for abandoned imaginary friends, the …
CHiPs: High Flyer
Sadly, the powers that be behind television series often don’t pay attention to their own show’s history. Continuity often has gone into the toilet, so to speak. In CHiPs: High Flyer, we get another example of just how bad it can get when no one cares to …
Stargate SG1: The First Commandment
This episode dealt with a Colonel from Stargate Command who actually fell for the, “You’re a God,” rhetoric that primitive people always spouted when teams came through the Stargate.
Seems another Stargate team was sent to a planet and never returned. When SG1 arrives, they find out from one …
Witch’s Requirement TV show
This moving tale epitomises all the forbidden loves of this world. It depicts the difficulties faced by all the couples who want to be together despite discriminations, criticisms, and pressure from loved ones.
Perhaps many people will think that this is just another common, cliched Japanese romance television series. However, …
Finding Judas
Every time I watch House, there’s a twist or turn that makes me want to tune in the next week.
Last night’s episode “Finding Judas” is the perfect example of that. House’s colleagues are being blackmailed into testifying against him and you can just feel the tension.
I also got a …
M*A*S*H: Welcome to Korea
This hit comedy show hadn’t even had a chance to work on the new commander for the 4077th unit when it suffered another blow. Wayne Rogers decided not to return, sending his Trapper John McIntyre home to the United States where years later he’d turn into Pernell Roberts …
Thriller: The Merriweather File TV Show
I’m so amazed that I’m becoming a bit of a Boris Karloff fan. He just is so fun to watch, even if it’s just for a brief introductory scene as he does for this anthology series, Thriller. His openings give viewers a hint of what’s coming, but it’s …
The Ellen Degeneres Show - Preparing for Chris Matthews
It’s no secret I am in love with Ellen. But like i’ve said over and over again, not the Portia kinda love…But apparently, I’m not the only one. On a previous visit to the show, the Ellen Degeneres Talk Show that is, Mr. Chris Matthews himself proceeded to engage …
Ghost Hunters: Haunted Asylum
Well, the Ghost Hunters episode I watched last night, Haunted Asylum, was an OK episode but definitely not one of the best ones I have seen.
They are asked to visit an asylum in West Virginia and walk around the place looking for spirits that are supposedly there.
First, Jason and …
Thriller: The Weird Tailor TV Show
I hadn’t seen any of the Thriller episodes until this year, and I’ve been surprised at the fact that overall I’ve enjoyed them. However, like Dead Legacy which I had just watched, The Weird Tailor is another show that focuses on the occult. This series likes devil …
The Sweetest Apu
Well, if Simpsons character Apu can mess up and cheat on his wife, then you know all men have a problem. That’s just what happened in the episode The Sweetest Apu.
Of course, you really can’t blame him considering his wife is hot but probably is exhausted after taking care …
Stargate SG1: The Tok’ra Pts 1 & 2
This episode was the first in which the Tok’ra were introduced. Sam has undergone treatment to try and get some insight into Jolinar and what her memories, ie dreams, mean. When she sees an address being dialed in her memories, she asks that SG1 be allowed to …
Columbo: By Dawn’s Early Light TV Show
In the day of Columbo on television, there were two British Patricks who were quite respected and who did a lot of TV work. They were frequently seen, and both did appearances on Columbo. The problem is that one was entertaining and the other turned me off …
Project Runway Season 1 Episode 1
Season one of Project Runway was the beginning to a captivating reality series for fashion lovers throughout America. It paved the way for more seasons and spin off Project Runway shows in other countries.
In this episode, we’re introduced to the twelve finalists who will be competing for the one …
M*A*S*H: Adam’s Ribs
Captain Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) goes a bit bonkers in the mess hall and rebels against the lack of cuisine. He then figures out that what he wants and needs is an order of Ribs with sauce from a Chicago establishment. M*A*S*H: Adam’s Ribs is pretty much …
Steve Wilkos Show
If I wanted to cheer for a bully, I’d visit a street corner on skid row and watch bad boys beat up on helpless derelicts, at least I could feel that they were “conflicted” jerks.
I don’t know if I’m more pissed at the dysfunctional guests or Steve Wilkos …
Harold and the Purple Crayon Pilot episode
This was the first of the episodes of this TV series on HBO. This episode was about Harold a little boy with a wild imagination. He uses his purple crayon to bring life to his imagination. The story is narrated by Sharon Stone and it begins at Harold’s bedtime.
I …
Private Eye: Hollywood Confidential TV show
From January 1988, Private Eye: Hollywood Confidential was very interesting story. The series stars Michael Woods as private eye, Jack Cleary, and Josh Brolin as his assistant, Johnny Betts. The exciting part for me, though, was with the guest star, Adam-12’s Kent McCord.
In Hollywood Confidential, McCord plays …
That Girl - Season One DVD set
Shout Factory produced the That Girl DVDs, beginning with this season one set. It’s a great set, but what I don’t like is the way the DVDs are organized. The DVDs are placed in one, long jacket. You open it and then have to open it …
The Circuit TV Movie
The Circuit was a pretty dreadful movie that had its world premier on ABC Family. That alone should have told me that it wasn’t going to be very good, but considering that it revolved around auto racing I decided to sit back and watch it. As an auto racing …
Mr. Monk and the Other Brother
It’s been so long since there’s been a new episode of the show Monk on, I almost forgot about it tonight and nearly missed it. But, while not as good as older episodes of Monk, I will say Mr. Monk and the Other Brother turned out to be worth …
The Andy Griffith Show: Mountain Wedding TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Mountain Wedding from April 1963 once again features Briscoe Darling (Denver Pyle) and his backward hill family. Quite frankly, I’m not that big of a fan of the Darlings. While the shows are entertaining and good quality, for whatever reason, they don’t really …
E! True Hollywood Story TV show
The show E! True Hollywood story is a great series for a great many reasons. One of those reasons for me is that they show a side of a person’s life that we as an audience never really get to see up close.
The show chooses a celebrity that …
M*A*S*H: Hawkeye
For all intents and purposes, M*A*S*H: Hawkeye is a one-man soliloquy as Hawkeye Pierce, traveling alone in a jeep, swerves to avoid hitting some Korean children and ends up turning over the vehicle and getting a bad hit in the head. Realizing that he might have a concussion …
Friends Episode: The One with Gladys
Friends Episode: The One with Gladys is another funny episode that makes me laugh like crazy. If you have not yet watched this episode, it is about this particular painting named Gladys. Mike wants Phoebe to get rid of her unnecessary stuffs, since he is going to move …
CSI Miami Horatio Caine
Think of a land of glitz and glamour. Beautiful women, sun, sea and glorious sunsets. High rise tower blocks overlooking a harbour lined with millionaire’s yachts. A playboy’s paradise overflowing with the excesses of the rich and famous. Imagine the picture. And in the centre of it stands a …
Diagnosis Murder: Nirvana TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: Nirvana isn’t really a favorite episode of this series for me, but it still has some good moments. Dick Van Dyke is so good that he takes the mediocre and makes it worth watching. In this first season outing, Van Dyke’s Dr. Mark Sloan checks …
Monk Season 3
The third season of Monk was a transitional period, and that’s why I had to rate it so low. Sharona was one of my favorite characters and in this season she ended up leaving the show. I heard that it was a contract dispute and some money problems, but …
Dancing with the Stars: 200th Show Results TV Show
The only real problem with the Dancing with the Stars results show for this 200th Performance week, the 7th week of the current season, is that it had to deal with election results break ins. I strongly suspect that is why the normal hour allotment was changed to …
Yogi Bear
Yogi Bear is one of my favorite TV shows ever! I just love this show and I find it to be very entertaining. I think Yogi is funny and his voice is really funny. BoBo is his little friend who travels the forest with Yogi bear. This show is funny …
That 70s Show: Eric’s Birthday
I’ve been watching a lot of the later That 70s Show episodes lately. But, I have to say the original episodes are still the best. Proof of this is the episode entitled “Eric’s Birthday.”
This is one of the great episodes, before Eric and Donna become a couple (well, actually …
The Twilight Zone: Probe 7, Over and Out TV Show
I have one word for The Twilight Zone: Probe 7, Over and Out, and the word is: rerun. If you want a phrase, it would be: been there, done that. While the story elements are different, this is a re-do of an earlier story called Two with …
30 Rock: Jack meets Dennis
In this episode of “30 Rock” Jack decides to becomes Liz’s mentor. She tells him no, and the next day Jack meets her while she is on a date with Dennis her ex who has come back into her life because she is too busy to meet anyone else.
This …
24 Season 1 Episode 13
Anyone who watched the TV Series 24 is probably by now very much aware of how addictive it really is. It is probably due to the fact that the show is taking place in real time during a 24 hour period. This way, every episode is connect to the …
The Twilight Zone: The Sixteen Millimeter Shrine TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Sixteen Millimeter Shrine, episode 4 of the series, was the first to deal with people out of place with the times. It’s a theme that was carried out in other episodes, often involving stage, screen, or television. This episode focused on a …
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Brooklyn Dodgers
While the name this episode of The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. might lead one to think there’s baseball in the mix, there isn’t. Brooklyn Dodgers is named for two teenagers who are on their own, fending for themselves, after a tragic accident years earlier that caused the …
The Office: Frame Toby
“Frame Toby” is the Office episode originally airing on November 20, 2008. This was an unusually weak episode, with few laugh-out-loud moments and central characters acting in very odd ways.
My biggest complaint was the way Michael acted throughout the episode. We all understand that he hates Toby, …
Max Headroom: Body Banks TV show
The Body Banks episode of Max Headroom, from 1987, is sadly not that hard to envision. Society is just such a crazy place that I certainly wouldn’t doubt it. We’ve seen fiction do crazier things, like Soylent Green did with its shocking revelation. Basically, it’s all …
Stargate SG-1: Fair Game
Stargate SG-1: Fair Game is a really nice episode from the third season of SG-1. It begins with Jack finding himself beamed up to an Asgard vessel and coming face to face with Thor for the first time. Richard Dean Anderson, who plays Jack, is known to …
Style By Jury
In Style By Jury, a Torontonian reality television show, a “jury” that consists of different professionals (lawyers, doctors, prducers, etc), judge the appearance and overall imagine of a woman who appears on the show. Before appearing on the show, the woman is informed that she will appear on that …
Deal or No Deal
To be honest, I don’t really watch television game shows all that often. And, the show Deal or No Deal isn�t an obsession for me like it is for many of my co-workers. But, if I’m bored, I have no problem watching.
There are two things that are fascinating about …
Those Scurvy Rascals
British series cartoon animation titled Those Scurvy Rascals is something that I always am able to catch in Kids Central Channel, in my country. It is so darn funny and these pirates are really getting on my funny nerves. My nieces and nephews all love this cartoon as …
Night Court: Let it Snow
There must be a Night Court Christmas marathon on tv this morning because this is the second Christmas episode in a row I’ve come across. While I didn’t like it as much as “Santa Goes Downtown” the episode “Let it Snow” still manages to be funny while sharing the …
Fireball XL5: The Granatoid Tanks
In Fireball XL5: The Granatoid Tanks, the Granatoids are looking for a home. They are a very destructive race, and it’s up to XL5 to save the day, once they realize there’s danger out there.
What is special about this episode is that we’re celebrating Venus’ birthday, so we …
Out of This World: Playing with the Power TV Show
I very much enjoyed Out of This World: Playing with the Power. This was the second episode of the series, and it made me laugh, and I just had a good time watching it.
One of the good things about the show is that the very first scene with …
That Girl: Christmas and the Hard Luck Kid
That Girl: Christmas and the Hard Luck Kid is the holiday tale and is done as a flashback. Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) is working as an assistant to Santa Claus at the mall when Don Hollinger (Ted Bessell) arrives to take her to lunch. At the same …
Numb3rs season 5 Episode Trouble in Chinatown 13
I really like the show Numb3rs which is about 2 brothers, Charlie is a mathematics genius and Don works for FBI so Charlie helps Don in solving the cases. In this episode some Chinese girls get abducted and FBI is looking for them because one of them in a …
The Twilight Zone: From Agnes - with Love TV Show
I can’t help but like The Twilight Zone: From Agnes - with Love because it features the adorable Wally Cox in it. Cox plays a computer programmer named James Elwood who takes over working with a computer named Agnes.
Now there is something important to recognize when you watch …
M*A*S*H: Sometimes You Hear the Bullet
M*A*S*H: Sometimes You Hear the Bullet is a masterpiece edition of this show in my opinion. I clearly recall watching this show the first time it aired. In fact, I taped it on a cassette recorder when it was rerun because I thought it was just that …
