One Tree Hill
I have been watching One Tree Hill since it first started in 2003. I had just had my first child and was 20 years old. I started watching because I liked the storyline of all the different highschool situations. I could find a character that reminded me of each …
Bones: Death in the Saddle
When I first came across the Bones episode “Death in the Saddle” I figured it would involve a murder of some sort of horse enthusiast. Boy, was I surprised when it was an episode about a sexual fetish.
Now, I’m far from being a prude when it comes to sex, …
Alias Smith and Jones: A Fistful of Diamonds
Alias Smith and Jones: A Fistful of Diamonds is a fun little outing for this western series starring Pete Duel as Hannibal Heyes and Ben Murphy as Kid Curry. This one has the two outlaws who are trying to go straight so that they can earn an amnesty …
Cupcake Girls TV Series
One of the hottest food crazes these days are cupcakes. Shops and bakeries have opened up all across the country. It’s probably international, but I’m not sure. I do know that in America, cupcakes are no longer kiddie deserts. Part of the proof of that …
MASH - Season 9
I think this season may have kept MASH going for a couple of more years just because the episodes, though not as funny, definitely made you think more about the mental effects of war.
First Hawkeye needs to reply to a letter written by a kid who lost his brother …
Highway Patrol: The Truckers TV Show
This April 1958 episode of Highway Patrol called The Truckers might be a little misleading with its title. It’s not about truckers as we think of them today; in fact, it’s really not about them much at all. The real focus is a husband and wife team …
Opry Live: Country Comes Home: An Opry Celebration TV Show
This special program is exactly what it says, a celebration of the Grand Old Opry. Damaged in the flood that devastated Nashville in May 2010, the Opry has been repaired and is back in business. That’s why this Country Comes Home: An Opry Celebration was held, to …
Law and Order Special Victims Unit: “Stocks and Bondage” Episode
I actually started watching the Law and Order: Special Victims Unit episode “Stocks and Bondage” fifteen minutes into it so unfortunately I did not get to see the introduction to find out what happened. However, thankfully one does not have to see the very first part in order to …
Death Note Episode 8
Death Note Episode 8 has L has security cameras in Light Yagami’s house and he figures out how to keep killing people while pretending to study for college entrance exams.
This episode was interesting as it shows how far L and Light will go to catch the …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Goodbye Iowa
Well, Professor Walsh certainly didn’t last very long on this show. One episode after trying to kill Buffy, she herself is stabbed to death in the episode “Goodbye Iowa.”
The romance between Buffy and Riley already seems strained by this episode too. He doesn’t want to accept the fact the …
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: Truman Capote TV Show
Odd becomes odder when Truman Capote was the subject of a celebrity roast on The Dean Martin Comedy Hour. Capote was eccentric, that’s for sure, so he was easy to make fun of.
Ted Knight got a few laughs early on, and then it was Audrey Meadows’ turn. …
Smallville: Odyssey
“Odyssey” is the first episode of season eight of Smallville. This is the first ever episode that did not feature the character of Lex Luthor. Although this is a huge blow to the show, at the least this episode shows that the writers are willing to introduce some …
The Simpsons Season 3
The third season of The Simpsons isn’t exactly the best season in the show’s history, but it’s far from the worst too. When you watch the earlier seasons now, it can sometimes be hard to compare the characters to how they look and sound now. That problem doesn’t appear …
Seinfeld
When I was in college, Seinfeld was the show to watch. But, while I did watch it, and still do on occasion (re-runs), I was never a person who obsessed over it.
Some episodes of Seinfeld are really funny. And, episodes like �The Contest� or the �Soup Nazi� are very …
Inspector Gadget (TV Show) - The Amazon (Episode)
“The Amazon” is an episode that’s from the “Inspector Gadget” television series. This is sort of a special episode as it features the man that installed the gadgets that Inspector Gadget now utilizes, Professor Von Slickstein. Dr. Claw kidnaps the scientist and hauls him off to the Amazon Jungle …
M*A*S*H: Hot Lips Is Back in Town
M*A*S*H: Hot Lips Is Back in Town is another pivotal show for Margaret Houlihan (Loretta Swit) who gets her final divorce decree in the latest mail call. It hits her hard at first, until she decides that her life is the Army. Then she throws herself into …
HPV Commercials
Whoever is broadcasting HPV commercials on television stations, deserves a metal as far as I am concerned. Because this disease is acutally a virus that when contracted, has the potential to cause cancer in women, I think that it is wonderful that there is being time devoted to …
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 …
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, …
City Homicide
I follow this Australian police drama called City Homicide which deals with the homicides that an Australian police team of investigators try to solve. The homicides are complex, and most are not set in black in white. I struggled with the accent for several episodes, but now I find …
The Jamie Foxx Show
I have always thought that The Jamie Foxx Show is a very good show. I really like it and I enjoy it a lot. This is a show that started Jamie Foxx’s career. I find it funny that he was very arrogant and stuck up even while on this show. …
Stargate SG-1: Sight Unseen
What I like about Stargate SG-1: Sight Unseen is Jack out and about in Colorado Springs. Okay, it’s Vancouver, but he’s out there in his truck, driving around, getting gas, and shooting at things that aren’t really there. Best part of the show.
Second best part of Stargate …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Dead Man TV Show
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Dead Man aired originally on cable television on September 26, 1992. These stories all come from the mind of science fiction writer, Ray Bradbury. This particular tale is a very quiet one and is appropriately odd as so many of Bradbury’s stories …
M*A*S*H: Morale Victory
Every now and then, the powers that be at this incredibly wonderful wartime comedy give us a show dealing with how down and out the personnel can get. M*A*S*H: Morale Victory is one of these episodes. The troops at the 4077th are tired of the war going …
Diagnosis Murder: How to Murder Your Lawyer TV Show
Quite honestly, I wasn’t as thrilled with Diagnosis Murder: How to Murder Your Lawyer as others might have been. Something about it just didn’t connect with me. I actually wonder if this might have been a pilot for another series. From the start, it felt more …
Criminal Minds: Safe Haven TV Show
Criminal Minds: Safe Haven was another very violent hour of television, though it was also a compelling sixty minutes that held my attention throughout. This was a combination of the story and the acting, primarily from the talents of Mare Winningham.
In this show, the BAU goes after a …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Descent, Part One
Star Trek: The Next Generation - “Descent”, Part One is not an episode that makes a whole lot of sense to me. This episode marks the return of Lore. He has taken several Borg drones under his wing and plans on releasing them on the Federation with the intent …
Undercover Boss: Frontier Airlines TV Show
Bryan Bedord, the CEO of Frontier Airlines, is center stage in this latest edition of Undercover Boss in the United States. This guy is gutsy. He’s heading up a business that has just merged three companies into one and asking all of them to take a 10 …
MacGyver: Slow Death
MacGyver: Slow Death is one of those average MacGyver episodes that is very pleasant to watch, though there isn’t really anything spectacular about it. Mainly, it’s an entertaining hour, and that’s really what television is supposed to be. The show has some great interaction with the characters …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Brother’s Keeper TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Brother’s Keeper, the 33rd show from season 4 of this western program, was written by Jay Simms. I don’t often mention the writers, but I liked the way he constructed this episode. It was dramatic and somewhat whimsical at the same time. …
FX channel
I watch the fx channel quite a bit on television. They play some pretty good movies on the channel from time to time. I like the channel because of the movies that they play. They play a variety of different movies. Mostly I see action movies on this channel …
Shroud for a Nightingale - Part 2
Shroud for a Nightingale - Part 2 continues the P.D. James story that takes place at Nightingale Hospital. This confines the story to taking place mostly in the hospital, and thus, it’s a story I like better than several of the other city location stories. For whatever …
Star Trek: Charlie X TV Show
I’ve seen those shows a zillion times, and I have clear cut favorites of ones I enjoy watching and ones that are viewed with reluctance. Star Trek: Charlie X is one of the latter episodes. Nothing against guest star Robert Walker, Jr., but he just annoyed me …
Futurama Vol 1 DVD
Imagine if you took the Jetsons, and instead of making them a family made them a group of mismtached peopl who crew a space ship. Throw in a litttle crude humor, and you have Futurama. Futurama is created by the same people who wrote the simspons, so it has …
Cowboy Bebop Episode 6
Cowboy Bebop Episode 6 has the crew of the Bebop after a boy named Zebra who can’t age because of something that happened a long time ago.
This episode is very interesting because it takes a cliché plot line of the immortal human being and makes it a …
Fat Albert TV Episode: Tomboy
I recently introduced my daughter to the 1970s cartoon show Fat Albert and she has been watching episodes of it (on DVD) every day since.
I haven’t seen the show in ages and finally got a chance to sit down with her yesterday to watch a couple episodes. One of …
America’s Got Talent: Semi-Finals Results Part 2 TV Show
I really haven’t enjoyed this season of America’s Got Talent. The talent has been decent, but I’ve so often disagreed with the judges. It’s a bit disheartening to see some of the insanity that goes on with the judging. I have no problem with America’s votes …
Two and a Half Men Season 7, Episode 17 - “I Found Your Mustache”
Just when I though we were finally rid of Chelsea she’s back in the picture.
This episode is about Charlie having a one night stand with Chelsea and the repercussions of that.
Here is why I hate Chelsea and think she brings very little to the show. This show is …
The Dangerous People
My wife has never seen the show “Alfred Hitchcock Presents” so, since there was nothing else on TV last night I decided to put on a re-run of the classic series. Fortunately, there was a great episode on at the time “The Dangerous People.”
This is one of those episodes …
The Andy Griffith Show: Andy’s Vacation TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Andy’s Vacation, a season four show that aired in March 1964, has some humorous elements to it, but it is also one of those plots that I am not really crazy about. I suppose it is because I am not big on the plots …
Family Guy: Family Gay
Peter goes gay in this so-so instalment of the popular animated serial, but unfortunately this simple enough idea turns out a disappointing twenty or so minutes.
The story is as simple has ever, with a to be expected ludicrous set up. Peter buys a retarded horse, enters into a derby, …
Lipstick Jungle - Wendy’s Thanksgiving Dinner
NBC’s Lipstick Jungle has had a rough ride. First the show was aired on Wednesdays, and then Law and Order came back so it was pushed to Fridays…Anyways, where ever Lipstick Jungle goes, I shall follow. And with Thanksgiving here, it was fit for them to air the …
M*A*S*H: Foreign Affairs
M*A*S*H: Foreign Affairs is a different story because it’s the first love affair for Major Charles Emerson Winchester III (David Ogden Stiers). He becomes mesmerized by a French Red Cross worker who is at the 4077th to observe for a few days. Melinda Mullins guest stars as …
Supernatural Season 2
Supernatural season 2 wasn’t nearly as good as the first season and it also wasn’t quite as good as some episodes in the third season, but it was still pretty good. The first season ended on a cliffhanger and the first episode picks up right where that one ended. …
Star Trek: The Counter-Clock Incident TV Show
The second season of the animated Star Trek series was very short and lasted but a few episodes. Star Trek: The Counter-Clock Incident was the last one, airing on October 12,1974. It was actually a very interesting plot where the Enterprise ends up in an alternate dimension …
The Simpsons Season 8
The Simpsons Season 8 is one of the great seasons of the animated show because it contains several episodes that fans regard as classics. However it also contains episodes that are just as good, but aren’t talked about very often. Personally I love the episode where Bart is finally …
Tree house of Horror I Season 2 Episode 3
This Simpsons episode features three stories called “Bad Dream House”, “Hungry are the damned” and “The Raven”.
Bad Dream House
This story is based on the film poltergeist and sees Homer, Marge and the children move into a creepy house which they bought at a very cheap price. The reason for …
Shatner’s Raw Nerve: Leonard Nimoy
I’ve been curious about this new discussion type series with William Shatner called Shatner’s Raw Nerve, but I’ve never watched it until now. This is probably the tenth or so episode that I know of, and it featured Leonard Nimoy. I’ve seen Shatner and Nimoy in person …
