Dancing with the Stars - 10-26-09
After a shocking elimination last week, the stars were back to perform tonight. The shows this year have definitely been entertaining and this one was as well. Their star-studded audiences are prevalent weekly. This week, not only was LaToya Jackson there, but Katherine Jackson, as well.
Leading …
Family Guy: Road to Rhode Island
While I’m somewhat of a Family Guy fan, some episodes of the show are a bit too lame and lack the funniness I look for in a television sitcom.
The episode Road to Rhode Island is one of those episodes.
The episode starts out with Brian feeling a sense of abandonment …
Adam-12: The Grandmothers
From season four, Adam-12: The Grandmothers has a cute little side story that evolves from a crime at a small shop owned by an elderly woman. Florence Lake plays Mrs. Frieda Pine, the owner of the store. She’s spry and full of vinegar, as the saying goes. …
The Twilight Zone: He’s Alive TV Show
From January 1963, viewers were presented with The Twilight Zone: He’s Alive, and frankly, I don’t even know what to say about it. I don’t like it, and I never have. It’s unpleasant to watch, and while there is a message, I just don’t care to wait …
Psych TV Episode: Rob a Bye Baby
Since everyone else was occupied with something else yesterday and I didn’t have much else that needed to be done, I decided to watch another re-run of Psych on my Netflix Instant Watch. This time around, I ended up watching the episode Rob a Bye Baby.
Much like most other …
What’s New Scooby Doo: The Vampire Strikes Back
As far as “What’s New Scooby Doo” episodes are concerned, the one entitled “The Vampire Strikes Back” was better than some of the first season episodes I’ve watched.
This one actually had a legitimate mystery in it at least.
The episode features the Hex Girls (which I can only assume means …
The Shield
The Shield is one of the most creative and entertaining shows I have seen lately. I have to say that the storyline and concept of this show is great. It’s about Vic Mackey a crooked cop. He makes deals with criminals and keeps secrets from the other cops. The storyline …
The Virginian: Old Cowboy TV Show
The Virginian: Old Cowboy is not a new or novel idea. It’s been told in TV and movies for decades. I realize this is an older show, but even for the 60’s, it’s been told before. What is the focus is an old cowboy, a man …
LG 42LH50YD: Flat screen television with 24p feature
When I first set my sights on LG 42LH50YD, I was not too impressed. It looked like any flat screen to me. Additionally, I have never been too impressed with LG’s product line. But after spending some serious time on this, I am reconsidering my previous bias.
Let me …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Great Wide World Over There TV Show
I was very surprised that I enjoyed The Ray Bradbury Theater: Great Wide World Over There as much as I did. This is a really quiet, unassuming half hour from October 1992. The cable show starred Tyne Daly as Cora Gibbs, Bill Johnson as her husband, Tom …
M*A*S*H: Abyssinia, Henry
Season three comes to a tragic close with M*A*S*H: Abyssinia, Henry. I remember this episode so well, and the plot has long been documented by the producers as to why the story evolved as it did. What this show should have been entitled is, “McLean, What On …
On The Up - Boxed Set Series 1-3 DVD 2006
On The Up was written by Bob Larby and screened in the UK between 1990 and 1992, this box set contains all three series.
Tony Carpenter - played by Dennis Waterman is a self-made millionaire who has risen from humble origins in the East End of London and despite now …
CSI Las Vegas
CSI is a long-running series that is very popular all over the world. My main likes for this show is the actors and the fact that you don’t have to see all the episodes to know what it going on. The actors are pretty good, and although they might …
Californication (Showtime TV series)
I have to admit that I wasn’t sure about whether I would like this little show. Other cable series have shown that shock value is all the rage. Programs like “The Carnivale”, “Six Feet Under”, “Weeds,” and even “Sex and the City” have groomed the viewer …
24: Redemption
Even though the new season doesn’t start until January, viewers were treated to a 2 hour 24 “movie” that sets up the plot for the next season.
My memory of the last season is rather fuzzy. I have a vague idea of what happened but when the …
Law & Order SVU
Every Tuesday at 10PM I switch the channel to NBC to watch Law & Order SVU. The timeslot is really good as my children are already fast asleep and do not have to hear or see the show. I don’t believe this show is suitable for their age. They …
Hair Battle Spectacular: Episode 4 TV Show
I’ve come a long way with my tolerance level for Hair Battle Spectacular. While it is still an outlandish show, full of arrogant contestants, it’s not that off par from any other reality show. It just takes a bit of watching to get into the speciality of …
Diagnosis Murder: Sister Michael Wants You TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: Sister Michael Wants You guest stars Delta Burke in a delightful role as Sister Michael, an old friend of Mark Sloan’s who has a powerful punch and a lot of street know how. Sloan is portrayed by Dick Van Dyke, of course. In the story, …
A-Team: Mexican Slayride
When I was a kid, we used to make the show A-Team a weekly viewing experience. But, I’ve never seen the first episode; Mexican Slayride before.
That is until tonight.
The 2-hour long episode does a great job introducing the main characters of the show (with a different actor playing “Face” …
Trinity Blood episode 20
In the splendor of jolly good old post-nuclear great Britton, now known as the kingdom of Albion, something goes terribly astray. Doesn’t it always, on the apocalyptic horror vampire show known as Trinity Blood? Episode twenty: “Throne of Roses: Kingdom of the north” is a tale of politics and …
Ghost Hunters on the Sci Fi channel
If you’re into paranormal stuff and ghosts I strongly suggest you watch Ghost Hunters on the SciFi channel on TV or on your computer. I watch it on HULU.COM for free. This isn’t your everyday television show.
The show isn’t set up to prove ghosts exist but more to prove …
My Family Comedy Series
This is by far the best comedy series ever, in my opinion, and from the first episode I saw of it, I just could not get enough.
I was fortunate enough to catch most of the episodes, right up to the last episode of the penultimate season, and such is …
Sunday Supplement - Sky Sports 1 - Paper T.V Show
When I get the opportunity on a Sunday morning I love to watch a television show called Sunday Supplement. Shown usually on Sky Sports 1 at about 9:30am, it brings together 3 to 4 sports journalist from various tabloids or broadsheets to discuss the previous days results and any …
The Winds of War: Making The Winds of War featurette
Dan Curtis is center stage for The Winds of War: Making The Winds of War featurette which takes interested viewers through the process of what it was like to make the outstanding television mini-series, The Winds of War and its follow up, War and Remembrance.
One of the intriguing things …
Star Trek: The Galileo Seven TV Show
Star Trek: The Galileo Seven is a good one. It’s another that deals with the issue of prejudice aimed towards Mr. Spock. It’s odd that so many would harbor ill will in his direction, but it’s constant throughout the series. The catalyst for the drama here …
Wagon Train: The Clara Beauchamp Story
Wagon Train: The Clara Beauchamp Story is from the first season and is the thirteen episode. Nina Foch, considered a fine dramatic actress, plays the title role. She’s an Army wife stuck in an unhappy marriage. She’s miserable and an alcoholic. He’s miserable and no …
Fame: Tomorrow’s Farewell
The big plot of Fame: Tomorrow’s Farewell, which is the third episode of the musical drama series, deals with the School for the Performing Arts being evaluated by the school board. This lends to a lot of conflicts between the teaches and the board and it also presents …
Alias Smith and Jones: The Root of It All
There’s added enjoyment to Alias Smith and Jones: The Root of It All and that comes from the main guest star of the episode. Judy Carne, perhaps best known from Laugh-In and being the first wife of Burt Reynolds, appears here as Leslie O’Hara. However, it’s Carne’s …
True Blood show
True Bood is a show HBO. This show is based on the Sookie Stackhouse books, or “The Southern Vampire Mysteries“ series by Charlaine Harris. The show follows the story of Sookie Stackhouse, a twenty something woman that also happens to be telepathic, and the coming out of vampires from …
Arrested Development TV series
The television series “Arrested Development” is not to be confused with the music group from the nineteen nineties with the same name. In fact I even heard on VH1 that the television series was almost sued by the music group after one of their members was watching the superbowl …
Death Note Episode 30 (Anime)
Death Note Episode 30 begins with Near suspecting that Kira is on the Japanese task force and that he’s the new L. Meanwhile, Mello talks to Near about getting his photograph back and Near learns more about the Death Note.
This episode is pretty interesting because it shows …
The Elen Degeneres Show - Beyonce
I am a huge fan of Ellen’s talkshow, but i’m an even bigger fan of Beyonce. This week, Tuesday 25 November, Ellen’s guess was no other than Beyonce! Yup, Mrs. Jay Z herself! And to be honest, this is the first time i’m hearing her say yes she’s married, …
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.
–This episode is just strewn with words of whimsy and love’s poems. It …
The Twilight Zone: The Whole Truth TV Show
Jack Carson was a great comedic actor. I liked him because he came across as genuine, no matter what type of character he was playing, even in this one where he’s a used car salesman who bends the truth all kinds of ways as he sells the cars …
Jeepers Creepers 2
When the movie Jeepers Creepers came out a few years ago, I thought it was one of the better horror movies I’ve seen. In fact, I haven’t seen the movie in quite some time but can still remember pretty much the entire thing; a sign of a good movie.
I …
That Girl: I Didn’t Have the Vegas Notion Part 1
It’s another two-part episode for this hit comedy series. That Girl: I Didn’t Have the Vegas Notion Part 1 has Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) co-starring in a play in Las Vegas, so Don Hollinger (Ted Bessell) goes with her for the opening night. It starts out with …
Smallville: Iris TV Show
I really haven’t watched much of Smallville over the years. I saw a few shows in its premier season, back when Tom Welling looked more like a teenager than a grown man and when John Schneider was playing his father. I liked it, but it never hooked …
Voyagers!: Worlds Apart
Voyagers!: Worlds Apart gets its title name from the fact that the two heroes of the show get separated in time, with Phineas Bogg doing time in prison with Lawrence of Arabia while Jeffery helps Thomas Edison to get a step up with the invention of the electric light.
Naturally, …
Spongebob Squarepants TV Episode: Chocolate with Nuts
My daughters have been watching Spongebob Squarepants all day today (yes,I know I really should be making them do something more constructive) and, as a result of that, I’m seeing episodes of the show I haven’t seen in a while. One of the episodes is actually one of my …
The Simpsons: I am Furious Yellow
Last night was the first time I’ve seen the Simpsons episode “I am Furious Yellow” in its entirety. And, I have to admit, it was very entertaining.
You have Bart being inspired (like all the kids in his class) to create a new comic book hero. And, after witnessing Homer …

Nana Televsion Show
Nana is the second anime I have seen by manga artist Ai Yazawa, an it lived up to all my expectations. I was highly pleased with the drawing style, the originality in design, the great choice of music, and the heart put into the storyline. It was …
Stargate: Infinity: Us and Them TV Show
There’s lots of greenery and a flowing pink waterfall in Stargate: Infinity: Us and Them. The team had a bit of a rough arrival, though, almost riding over the cliff’s edge. I’m not surprised, considering how fast they ride those motorcycles and vehicles through the Stargate all …
Hawaii Five-0: Nalowale TV Show

The Twilight Zone: And When the Sky Was Opened TV Show
The Twilight Zone: And When the Sky Was Opened is a flight of fancy in a sense in that it’s hard to tell what the reality is. Even at the end of the show, I’m not sure we know the reality. Was it that people and property …
Beast Wars - The Trigger, Part 2
Beast Wars - The Trigger, Part 2 continues where the first part left off, and in this episode, despite the best efforts of Airazor and Tigertron, it is Blackarachnia that reaches the structure on the floating island first and begins to explore it. She begins to realize the potential …
Come Dine With Me - C4 Reality TV Show
As reality t.v shows go, Come Dine With Me is a show that does what the title suggests.
