Full House Season 4
Full House Season 4 is almost when the show tried to “jump the shark”. Granted it was a transitional time for the show as the kids were starting to grow, but things were still a little odd.
Little Michelle was now a toddler, and fully capable of talking. The …
M*A*S*H: Television’s Serious Sitcom
In 2002, the Biography Channel did a very nice review of the M*A*S*H comedy series called M*A*S*H: Television’s Serious Sitcom. The smash show ran for 11 seasons on CBS. Narrated by Bill Mumy, numerous then-current interviews were done with many of the show regulars and powers that …

Let’s Make a Deal Television Show
One of my favorite things that I used to love doing was watching the old television game shows on the Game Show Network. I loved watching everything from “Card Sharks” to “What’s My Line.” For me, the shows that come on today do not compare. They …
Sliders-Time Again & World
The episode “Time Again & World” is from right in the middle of the show’s second season. While this isn’t one of the Sliders better efforts, it is definitely much better than most of what is going to come in Season 3, when the whole series kind of …
That Girl: Ann vs. Secretary
That Girl: Ann vs. Secretary is a great show. Don Hollinger (Ted Bessell) has yet another secretary. Apparently, Newsview has a secretarial problem because they just can’t keep the same gals hired. This professional helper, though, has a mission that doesn’t just include typing and dictation. …
The Game (CW network sitcom)
The CW racks up points for triflingness again with sitcom “The Game.” Featuring one of the Mowry twins, Wendy Raquel Robinson, and a few unnamed actors, this show is actually incredibly popular. I have even seen blogs on Mediatakeout.com wherein people were trying to save this show …
M*A*S*H: Bug Out
Season 5 begins with M*A*S*H: Bug Out, a show that is full of rumors that the 4077th is bugging out due to an expected attack. At first, it’s believed that the news is nothing but exaggerations and rumors, but then the news comes that they will be bugging …

Adam-12: Truant
I enjoy Adam-12: Truant quite a bit. Jim Reed (Kent McCord) puts in a suggestion for a new truant program to help keep kids off the streets and drop the crime rate in the area. This is one of the shows that exhibits Jim’s sharp mind and …
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, …
Downunder Horsemanship
Downunder Horsemanship by Clinton Anderson is a great TV show. Clinton Anderson is an internationally recognized horse trainer and competitor. He is a native Australian and I just love his accent. Clinton’s program, Downunder Horsemanship, most often focuses on working with problem horses and training young horses. What I …
Twilignt Zone Original Series Ssn 1 “Time Enough at Last”
The Twilight Zone, narrated by Rod Sterling, is a classic bit of television history. It featured a series of one-shot episodes with independent storylines. Each story featured a supernatural theme. Most were about everyday people caught in supernatural circumstances. Most episodes culminated in a twist ending. Many …
Criminal Minds TV series
The Criminal Minds TV series fits well with all of the other crime investigation drama out there because it is different but still comfortable. The crimes are more graphic - if I wasn’t already desensitized by other shows I would say too graphic, and they probably are too graphic. …
Hawaii Five-O: Tiger by the Tail
Hawaii Five-O: Tiger by the Tail begins with a young singer performing in a nightclub. Then he gets kidnapped right after the show. The execution of this scene was pretty lame, even for the era. It’s not the plot; it’s just how it was directed …
Supergirl episode 4: Livewire, TV show
From the first 6 episodes aired so far, “Livewire” was my highlight episode because a) Helen Slater as Eliza Danvers (Kara’s adopted mom) makes for a longer appearance b) Dean Cain (seen in flashbacks) c) we finally get more glimpses into Cat Grant’s (Kara’s boss) personality, and d)Eliza and …
The League of Gentlemen - Series Two
The show that brought us stranger phobic Tubbs and Edward, pen loving Pauline and the germ hating Dentons is back, and goes from strength to strength.

Animal Miracles show

Hosted by Alan Thicke, each episode features stories about real-life stories where pets committed heroic acts by saving the lives of their owners. Too many people are just not aware of how important …
Highway Patrol: Transmitter Danger TV Show
The fourth show of the fourth season on TV, Highway Patrol: Transmitter Danger was another show that focused on dynamite. They’ve done this a couple of times so it wasn’t the freshest of plots to be doing in this half hour show. This show is about the …
UK Version Of Deal Or No Deal TV Show
Any show hosted by Noel Edmonds is guaranteed to be a success. The man could get excitment out of paint drying if you paid him enough. Deal Or No Deal is no different. From the moment he comes on with the opening speech, delievered with great theatricality, you know …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Hide and Q
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Hide and Q is really an episode of the series that I do not like. The reason I do not like this episode is because Riker behaves so very out of character and it is clear that the writers twisted the character just …
Sea Hunt: Mercy Ship TV Show
From 1961, Sea Hunt: Mercy Ship had some interesting intrigue to it. Though the stories often include fascinating sea creatures, this episode takes a turn that puts deep sea diving expert, Mike Nelson, in the middle of a war.
Playing Nelson is Lloyd Bridges. He’s very good …
The Jeffersons - Florence’s Problem
The Jeffersons didn’t touch on serious subjects too often like the series it was spin-off from, namely All in the Family, but in the case of this episode, “Florence’s Problem”, it did try to explore a situation that wasn’t entirely comedy-themed, although the writers still manage to give characters …
America’s Got Talent - July 27, 2010 TV Show
Sometimes I love America’s Got Talent, and sometimes it bores me. I’m not fond of any of the judges, who make no sense in who they put through or buzz out. It’s not that I like David Hasselhoff, but I miss him. I’m not a fan …
Death Note Episode 12
Death Note Episode 12 has Light trying to figure out how t get to the Second Kira and discover their identity before the Task Force does while a girl named Misa, a supermodel is revealed to have a Death Note and a Shinigami named Rem.

The Inbetweeners - Series 3 - Episode 5
Nearing the end of the final series of The Inbetweeners now and the fourth episode, was pretty good, though not as good as some of the others.
I found it a fast moving episode, rather than one that was full of really comical moments.
Wills mum has gone away with an …
All in the Family The Complete Second Season
Unfortunately, the second season set of this comical and sometimes serious and dark sitcom doesn’t fare any better than the first season set in regards to the bonus features and special features. In other words, there are none. All that could be considered extra on this set are some …
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 …

Lipstick and Dynamite
I’m not sure what I think of the women of Lipstick and Dynamite. Their story is one of the first women who were professional wrestlers. If you want to see a story about truly strong women, in many ways then this is the perfect story.
Wrestling, while staged, is certainly not …
Project Runway Season Five Episode 5
Season Five Episode 5
Welcome to the Jungle
Brooke Shields Guest Judge
In this episode, Heidi tells the designers their next challenge is to create a look for a high powered woman and to meet Tim in the work room for more details.
When the designers head back to the work room …
Stargate SG-1: Shadowplay
Stargate SG-1: Shadowplay is hum drum for me. It bores me to no end. Its focus is a potential Kelownan civil war. The thing is, who cares? The Kelownans are selfish cowards, as evidenced by Jonas Quinn himself, so I’m not sure why Earth should …
MANswers
Have you ever asked yourself, how much testosterone and how little brain you can put into a show on national television? Well, MANswers shown on spike is where you get the answer.
In thirty minutes filled with breasts, weapons and sex you get to know everything a man wants to know …
Mr. Monk Gets Lotto Fever
As far as Monk episodes go, Mr. Monk Gets Lotto Fever was actually one of the worse ones I’ve seen.
While the side-plot of Natalie getting a job as television’s lotto girl was somewhat interesting, the reality was the show itself was a bit cruddy because there was really no …
CHiPs: Undertow
The second episode of CHiPs about California Highway Patrol officers is called Undertow. One of the first things that happens is that Ponch is unknowingly affected by breathing in a bunch of nitrous oxide that leaks after a traffic accident. This makes him see double and become …
Shin Chan TV show
Shin Chan was originally a Japanese cartoon show. It’s sometimes compared to The Simpsons because the main character, Shin, is a bad boy like Bart Simpson, although he’s more rude and unaware of what’s acceptable behavior than outright misbehaving. The show just had a trial run on …
Wagon Train: The Kate Crawley Story
Barbara Stanwyck returns for the second time in season seven in Wagon Train: The Kate Crawley Story. The story revolves around her and wagonmaster Chris Hale’s romance, something that was hinted at in the season opener, The Molly Kincaid Story.
Stanwyck is a superb actress, and she pulls off …
Code Geass Episode 5 (Anime)

Spongebob Squarepants:Big Pink Loser
Because of my daughter, I have seen almost every episode of SpongeBob SquarePants. The one episode I�ve seen a dozen times and still find hilarious is Big Pink Loser.
This episode focuses on Patrick, (Spongebob�s Starfish friend) and how he is upset about never winning an award. And, he gets …
Ghost Hunters show
Ghost Hunters is a show that is beginning its third season, and it is definitely a television show that I hope will be on for a long time. The Sci-Fi Network runs the hour long documentary every Wednesday evening. Ghost Hunters features TAPS (The Atlantic Paranormal Society) and they …
The Twilight Zone: Two
“Two” is another episode of the television series “The Twilight Zone” which my boyfriend and I love. In fact, I think it was popular too amongst “Twilight Zone” viewers as it was a little different than many of the other “Twilight Zone” episodes as instead of focusing on mostly …
