Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Restless
Ok, for the 4th season finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the episode “Restless” was one of the dumbest and most boring episodes I’ve ever seen. After watching it, I really have to wonder just what exactly the writers were thinking.
The last episode, Primeval, had them beating the bad …
The Simpson’s: Great Wife Hope
I haven’t watched too many new episodes of the Simpson’s lately so I didn’t realize last night’s episode Great Wife Hope, was a repeat rather than a new episode (I looked it up this morning).
In any case, it really wasn’t as good of an episode as I thought it …
Super Mario World - The Yoshi Shuffle
Super Mario World - “The Yoshi Shuffle” is one of the show’s most entertaining episodes, I think. In this episode, Luigi gets transformed into an egg by a Magikoopa and stolen by Bully and Cheatsy. Mario and Yoshi follow them to Koopa’s Castle where they must engage in a …
Dr. G: Medical Examiner
Dr. G: Medical Examiner is about Jan Garavaglia. Actually, it is her show! Dr. Jan Garavaglia is a medical examiner in Florida and Dr. G: Medical Examiner is about her cases. Don’t run off yet, this show is very information and interesting. You will not see blood and guts …
That 70s Show: Love of My Life
I can’t remember if I have reviewed the That 70s Show episode Love of My Life before. If I have, I’m sorry. But, I saw it again last night and still think it is one of the funnier episodes from the series; at least the very end of the …
Stargate SG-1: Demons
Stargate SG-1: Demons is a sort of odd entry in the minds of some for the third season of the sci-fi series. In this episode, SG-1 find themselves on a planet that is reminiscent of Medieval Europe in their way of living and beliefs.
At issue in part is …
Laramie: License to Kill TV Show
From November 1960, the second year of this western series, Laramie: License to Kill is one awesome hour of television entertainment. In this episode, a bounty hunter named Sam Jarrett hunts down Jess Harper (Robert Fuller), claiming that he killed a man in Willow, Colorado.
Reluctantly, Jess goes along, …
M*A*S*H: Last Laugh
M*A*S*H: Last Laugh is just too vaudeville and slapstick for me to enjoy very much. It’s such low quality compared to the excellency of the prior show that it’s even disappointing.
There are a couple of plots going on, neither of which held my interest. The main story centered …
Big bang Theory: The Euclid Alternative
Every time I watch Big Bang Theory I like it more. This is a smart show which manages to be almost constantly funny. In this episode Sheldon needs to find a ride because Leonard is working nights for a couple weeks.
Sheldon is almost always funny, but watching him in …
Star Trek: The Devil in the Dark TV Show
From season one, Star Trek: The Devil in the Dark is one of my favorite episodes of the entire series. There are so many terrific things about this story that make me like it, but the number one element is probably just that it’s the right of a …
Seven days season 3 Episode 5 Olga’s Excellent Vacation
I like the title of this episode because it is actually ironic because Olga’s vacation really turned out not to be that excellent at all.
Seven days is a sci-fi show about an American project that takes place in Area 51 and which uses alien’s equipment to send a man …
Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 10
Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 10 has Ed and Al stopping in a town called Aquroya that is slowly sinking in the water. Ed is questioned by the police because he’s an alchemist, thinking he might be connected to Psiren, a phantom thief who uses alchemy to help her rob …
The Andy Griffith Show: Briscoe Declares for Aunt Bee TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Briscoe Declares for Aunt Bee, which originally aired in October 1963, is not one of my favorite episodes. As well as the actors play their roles, I’m not a big fan of the Darling family, a mountain clan who occasionally come to Mayberry and …
Stargate SG1: Homecoming
This episode takes up where “Fallen” ended. Jonas is a prisoner of Anubis, Daniel is crawling around the ship, trying to find Jonas and free him before he becomes visible to the sensors again, Jack and Sam have destroyed the weapon and are arriving home and Teal’c is …
Drake and Josh
I love Drake and Josh! Those two guys crack me up every time. I watched like every single episode of their show. Drake and Josh changed a lot since their first episode. Drake was so much cutter when he was younger. Now he is even hotter. I love that …
The Mighty Boosh: Series One, Episode One - Killeroo
The first TV episode of the cult, surreal comedy The Mighty Boosh, Killeroo, is the perfect opening to the first series. It sets about immediately establishing the signature banter between the writers and performers Noel Fielding and Julian Barrett. This double act is one of the main …
Pamela Anderson on Dancing With The Stars Season 10
I can’t wait until the premiere of Dancing With The Stars March 22, 2010, so I can see Pamela Anderson dance. I’m pretty sure a lot of people who usually wouldn’t watch the show will tune in this season just to see how skimpy Pamela’s costumes will be. …
The X-Files Squeeze Episode
I thought the introduction for this particular episode of the popular 1990s American television show “The X-Files” was very creepy. I’m not sure if that was because I was watching it while I was at home alone, or because I was watching it recently online and not on television. …
USA’s “Covert Affairs” pilot episode
The summer definitely leaves me with too much free time on my hands: this results in checking out TV show I certainly would pass over otherwise, including the new USA offering, spy action drama and romance show, entitled “Covert Affairs”. The title plays on the importance of the sex …
Home and Garden Television
I just love HGTV. If you are into making your house nice or being creative, this is the channel for you. The ideas that I have gotten from this channel are just unbelievable. The painting and decorating shows are a real help. They show you …
Wagon Train: The Kitty Pryer Story
Wagon Train: The Kitty Pryer Story is a really unusual story for this particular western It’s the story of a man, Victor Harp, who has committed bigotry. He confides the truth to the new wife, Kitty Pryer, and convinces her to travel west with him, claiming his …
Monk TV Episode: Mr. Monk is Underwater
One of our satellite channels had a Monk marathon this past weekend and, even though I had seen every episode before, there were some that I enjoyed enough to want to watch again.
One of them was the episode Mr. Monk is Underwater; one of the later episodes (when he …
Ghost Hunters: Hartford Conservatory
Wow, that was a boring Ghost Hunters episode; “Hartford Conservatory.” How in the world did this show last beyond its second season with episodes like this one almost every single week.
You have the TAPS team visiting two places. One is a residence in New Jersey and the other is …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Power Play
“Power Play” is an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation that tells a story of three Enterprise officers, namely Data, Troi and O’Brien, having their
bodies seized and controlled by supposed spirits of a Federation vessel that crashed and was destroyed on a planet many, many years ago. The …
Jericho (tv show)
Maybe its just me, but this fall season a new show called Jericho is on prime time television and I have attempted to watch the show three times now and I have not a clue what the main idea is. I get the idea that the town has …
House: The Softer Side
OK, I know the show House has been going downhill a bit over the past couple seasons but last night’s episode “The Softer Side” was one of the few times I felt like I wasted an hour of my life watching it.
I’m not sure what’s worse, having a patient …
Highway Patrol: Train Robbery TV Show
From November 1958, Highway Patrol: Train Robbery was the 8th outing of the fourth TV season, and it really was different. I love fresh shows, things that weren’t done before. Granted, that isn’t always easy, but it can be done. The premise of this half hour …
The Cleaner: To Catch a Fed
This is another good episode to The Cleaner. It’s called To Catch a Fed. In it, William Banks is surprised to see the new truck of his dreams show up on his doorstep. It’s a gift, but it comes with a catch. The gift-giver is a …
Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn: 9-15-10 TV Show
I never would have thought it in a thousand years, but I really enjoying this new cooking show that is part of the new Hallmark Channel Home block of daytime programming. It’s called Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn and its September 15, 2010 episode was its …
TV Show Numbers
Numbers is one of the best shows on tv right now! CBS definately scored big when they brought this one out. It starts out with a crime being committed, then the FBI coming in to solve it. One of the FBI agents, Don Eppes, has a brother, Charlie, who …
Shroud for a Nightingale - Part 4
Much of Shroud for a Nightingale - Part 4 reminds me of an episode of Colombo. Actually, most of the production does. We have Chief Superintendent Adam Dalgliesh having numerous face offs with a chief surgeon of Nightingale Hospital, Stephen Courtney-Briggs (Joss Ackland). Their verbal battles …
ASPCA (television commercial)
I am such a dog lover. So when I saw this ASPCA commercial, I was immediately struck in the heart. The music however, is what I think people will notice right away. The song comes on delicate piano and the sweetest female voice …
Monk TV Episode: Mr. Monk and the Class Reunion
I was able to watch a bit of TV at lunch today and put on a re-run of the show Monk; Mr. Monk and the Class Reunion.
It had been a while since I saw this episode and I have to say it was definitely entertaining.
Basically, Monk returns to his …
Tales of the Gold Monkey: Legends Are Forever
It would be nice if Tales of the Gold Monkey: Legends Are Forever had begun with a bit more clarity. What was a flashback or dream wasn’t made clear. We have this great adventure scene with Jake Cutter (Stephen Collins) and a colorful character, Gandy Dancer (William …
Red Dwarf: TIkka to Ride
I don’t fully understand what the title “Tikka to Ride” means but then I have always suspected that there is quite a lot in Red Dwarf that I am missing. This is the first episode in Series 7 and though there are considerable stupid things in any episode …
Supernatural TV series
Supernatural is without a doubt the best thing to come along in paranormal horror in a long time. Having begun in 2005, it is still airing in 2011! That is true staying power.
Supernatural has become one of those show that I really can’t stand to miss. It has …
CSI Season 5 Episode 6 What’s Eating Gilbert Grissom
It was a very strange episode, but I absolutely loved it. In addition to the great story and acting, of course, I also really enjoyed the artwork that they have shown in the episode. Usually, when filming a movie or a TV episode, the production does not focus …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Fogg Bound TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Fogg Bound from December 1960 is more of a humorous outing for this western series which starred Richard Boone as Paladin, the gunfighter for hire. The show is based on the Jules Verne creation, “Around the World in 80 days.”
The show opens with …

In episode two, we’re introduced to the final vampire Marty, who will accompany the rest of the night school vampires in their quest to find humanity. Unfortunately, Marty is becoming more of a nuisance and strides to corrupt the rest of the group.
Since Drew’s stunt with involving himself with …
Fat Albert TV Episode: Four Eyes
As I mentioned in another review, my daughter has started to watch old Fat Albert cartoons and I had a chance to watch a couple with her yesterday. One of the episodes I ended up watching was called Four Eyes. And, much like the first one we watched together, …
Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Doll
After Larry’s latest behaviour; “Aren’t you Evelyn?” has now been picked up by ABC. But this reassuring new development doesn’t last for long, and as usual, Larry’s at the core of it all.
At a party hosted by an ABC bigwig; a broken bathroom lock serves as the catalyst …
American Idol - Performance 5/12/09
It was the top three on American Idol on May 12th. The performers each sang two songs, a pick made by the judges and a choice of their own.
Danny Gokey did awesome. He sang a very upbeat song (Dance Little Sister) and ended with a ballad. …
666 Park Avenue (Tv Series)
One of the series that I started watching recently was “666 Park Avenue”. It was recommended to me by another fan of the series Supernatural who swore that I would not only enjoy it, but be just as hooked. The series is still in is infant stage as it …
Eastenders TV
I love, love, love watching Eastenders on BBC1. The argument, the tears the drama! And it always happens a big family do, like a wedding, at Xmas or of course in the Queen Vic!
I remember curling up on the sofa when I was a kid and it first started, …
The Real Ghostbusters Season 1, Episode 26:A Fright at the Opera
The Ghostbusters are recruited to take care of a swarm of Valkyries that have invaded an opera house. It’s a pretty straight forward plot, but it does make for an enjoyable episode. Having played the recent “Ghostbusters” video game, I couldn’t help but wonder if this …
The TV show Lost
The TV show lost was a great show when it first came up and than somewhere down the line the producers made the show just go all stupid. Seriously, the show was addictive when the first few seasons came out and was so on the edge of your seat …
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 …
Roseanne Season Two
The second season of Roseanne was pretty good. There were a lot more laughs than I was expecting, especially since this season came out in the late 1980s or early 1990s. I thought it would seem really dated and hard to follow, but it actually held up a lot …
Curb Your Enthusiasm - TV Show
I watched the first season or two of Curb Your Enthusiasm recently. It’s a comedy show that used to be on HBO and it won a bunch of comedy awards so my favorable review is going to be nothing new to the enlightened television watcher who by fluke …
