Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Prophecy Girl
I finally got to see the season 1 finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer “Prophecy Girl” and have to admit it made up for the numerous crappy episodes of the series in that first season.
The episode has Buffy finally facing the Master; more importantly it has her doing so …
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Daniel’s Song TV show
It’s Roger Wilson’s turn to take the point in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Daniel’s Song. Wilson plays Daniel McFadden, the 4th of the 7 sibling brothers. He’s always singing and dancing when not working the ranch, and when he’s not doing that, he’s playing the guitar.
In …
Laramie: The Last Journey TV Show
Rod Cameron appeared in numerous episodes of the Laramie TV western, and most all were memorable outings. In this one, called The Last Journey, he plays John Cole. He’s just been released from prison, and when he shows up with a shot marshal, Slim Sherman (John Smith) …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Fossil Men TV Show
From January 1967, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Fossil Men was another monster show, and this one was among the most incredulous. The Seaview comes into contact with a rock man while submerged. They investigate by having Kowalski (Del Monroe) and a new man, …
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 …
Britain’s Tudor Treasure: A Night At Hampton Court (TV Documentary)
What a better way to mark the 500th anniversary of the famous Hampton Court than to recreate the most important event that took place there. The event in question is the christening of Prince Edward, Henry VIII’s only son, which turned into the ultimate showcase of Tudor etiquette, fashion, craftsmanship …
Best Friends
Like I mentioned before, I took the time to watch some movies on the Lifetime Movie Network this past weekend. One of the films I ended up watching was called “Best Friends” and it turned out to be a decent movie.
The film starts out with two women who are …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Chase
Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Chase is an episode from the sixth season that is really very fast-paced. It does not slow down for much, as the title suggests! In this episode, Picard’s archaeology professor comes on board and invites him along on an exciting journey, but …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Deadly Waters TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Deadly Waters, episode 7 of year 3, guest starred Don Gordon as Stan Kowalski. This show proves that if you can stick it out long enough, being a recurring character can get you your own story. Del Monroe has played …
24: Action-packed TV Series
Can a number bring thrill and suspense to television viewers? I’d like to think so and 24 has done a very good job at that.
24 is an action-drama series that has spanned seven seasons already. It stars Keifer Sutherland as the famous (or infamous) Jack Bauer as a …
Kap’s Amazing Video
It is Sunday today, and as expected there are few tv shows that I am looking forward to watch. More often, I feel there is even nothing worth watching at all. My mom was browsing through the channels and well, she chanced upon the show in Channel 7, Kap’s …
Gilligan’s Island - You’ve Been Disconnected TV Show
If you like talking on the telephone, you will just love this episode. Even if you don’t, the absolute hilarious scenes compensate for the main telephone theme. I really enjoyed watching the Professor come up with outrageous inventions and ideas to get them all rescued.
In the beginning there …
That Girl: Two for the Money
As the series winds down, That Girl gave us one last typical episode in the name of Two for the Money. In the story, Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) is on a modeling assignment at the racetrack. We get to see her doing all kinds of poses and …
ANTM Saleisha
If you watch America’s Next Top Model, you’ll understand how addictive this show really is. This cycle’s winner, Saleisha Stowers has invoked a lot of controversy with her recent win. She’s one of the shows more “natural” looking models. But because she participated in Tyra’s T-Zone …
Futurama TV Episode: When Aliens Attack
I decided to take off from work a bit early today so I could work in the garden. Realizing I was hungry, I sat down for a bite to eat before going outside and watched a Futurama episode; When Aliens Attack.
This one was actually kind of a clever episode …
MacGyver: On a Wing and a Prayer
Finally, we get a season four episode with Pete Thornton and the Phoenix Foundation. In MacGyver: On a Wing and a Prayer, Pete and a nun have been kidnapped in Barraca from some rebels. With the government bogged down in politics, MacGyver does something he never thought …
Columbo: Publish or Perish TV Show
One word for Columbo: Publish or Perish: yuck. I have never liked this episode of the series. Honestly, I don’t dislike Jack Cassidy, but he annoys me as a murderous villain. He did multiple episodes of Columbo over the years, and I don’t think I liked …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Squatter’s Rights TV Show
The 34th episode of the sixth season for Have Gun - Will Travel was the last of the series. Paladin had his last battle with the bad guys in Squatter’s Rights. Truth be known, I wish they’d chosen a lighter theme for their last episode. Of …
M*A*S*H: Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen
Though filmed at the beginning of the season, the final episode of this groundbreaking, long running TV series was M*A*S*H: Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen. It attracted millions of viewers. I’m not sure if it’s still number one, but I think it is; if not, it’s still in …
MacGyver: Final Approach
The fifth episode of MacGyver’s second season is much better than the fourth one was. MacGyver: Final Approach opens with a neat bit of Mac being killed in a plane crash. Of course, he’s in a simulator, and he’s not thrilled when Pete tells him that he …
Sea Hunt: The Dancer TV Show
Sea Hunt: The Dancer, the fifth show of the fourth season for this underwater adventure series, aired in February 1961 and focused on diver Mike Nelson’s attempts to rescue a lady diver. He’s called in by the Coast Guard to assist. The diver and her companion had …
Emergency!: Publicity Hound
Gary Crosby makes his first guest starring role as Paramedic Tom Wheeler in Emergency!: Publicity Hound from season one. With certain annoying charm, he manages to get the spotlight with the press, even if he wasn’t the primary rescuer involved in whatever was happening. It’s a fun …
Diagnosis Murder: Misdiagnosis Murder TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: Misdiagnosis Murder is a show I just don’t enjoy. It’s heavy on the Dr. Jesse Travis (Charlie Schlatter) character, and he’s my least favorite of all. He never follows orders, and he’s so hyper in this outing from the lack of sleep that I just want …
Friends Episode: Rachel Moving Out
Friends Episode: Rachel Moving Out is one of the better episodes that you can see Monica’s really ‘controlling’ and ‘possessive’ manner of persona. The episode is when Rachel is going to move out and not being her room-mate anymore. And knowing Rachel, she is very laid-back about it …
Qur’an Channel 4 Programme
I tuned into this programme some way in as I hadn’t know it was on, but was interested in the subject matter. Apparently the aim of the programme was to talk about what the Muslim holy book actually says, I suppose to demystify it, given that there are …
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 …
Medical center show
Out of all the medical shows featured on tv along with Marcus Welby,md, Dr. Kildare, and Ben Casey in the 70’s along came Medical Center featuring the heart throb Chad Everett. After 10 years it was finally not renewed and I was devasted. Nick at night had …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Night of Terror TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Night of Terror, episode 4 of season 3, guest starred Henry Jones as Dr. Sprauge. The crux of the drama is when Admiral Nelson (Richard Basehart), Sprauge, and Chief Sharkey (Terry Becker) are essentially lost inside the diving bell, which had …
The Andy Griffith Show: Aunt Bee the Warden TV Show
I do love The Andy Griffith Show: Aunt Bee the Warden, an episode that aired originally back in March 1962, which was the second year that this series aired on TV. It actually opens with a bit of exposition. In real life, Andy Griffith had hurt his …
Nip/Tuck
I just love watching Nip/Tuck. I have been a loyal follower of Seasons 1 to 4 and I can just give a two thumbs up for each and every episode. From the lead actors and the supporting characters to the star-studded guests, I can truly say that the show …
The Twilight Zone: Five Characters in Search of an Exit TV Show
Unfortunately, The Twilight Zone: Five Characters in Search of an Exit is not a show I’m that crazy about. In fact, I most always change the channel once I see it. It just doesn’t impress me, though I admit the reveal is interesting. Actually, the ending …
Stargate SG-1: Secrets
Much as I don’t like Jaffa-centered stories, I’m also not fond of the Abydonian storylines on this series either. Stargate SG-1: Secrets, however, is a story that takes place in good part on Abydos. It’s been one Abydonian year to the day that Daniel left the planet …
The Simpson’s: Today I am a Clown
I finally got a chance to watch the Simpson’s episode “Today I am a Clown” in its entirety yesterday and it was a halfway decent episode, though not one of the better ones I have seen.
Krusty the Clown is seeking meaning in his life and comes to the realization …
Bones TV Episode: The Rocker in the Rinse Cycle
Well, last night’s episode of Bones wasn’t the best episode I’ve seen, but it wasn’t the worst one either.
In The Rocker in the Rinse Cycle, they find themselves investigating the murder of a rich guy who was last seen at a rock and roll fantasy camp and find themselves …
M*A*S*H: Officer of the Day
M*A*S*H: Officer of the Day focuses on Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) being the officer of the day, whether he wants to be or not, and of course, he doesn’t want to be the man in charge. Having no choice, though, he wanders the camp, doing his duties as …
Psych: Let’s Get Hairy
I wasn’t going to watch tonight’s episode of Psych. I’ve had a long day and wasn’t really feeling like staying up to watch it. But, my wife is out of town and she asked me to record it for her. Since I had to have the TV on to …
Avatar: The Last Airbender (cartoon)
I’m the kind of person who is all about meditation and the benefits we can all reap from it, so when I discovered that the kid show: the Avatar is about a monk I thought it was one of the coolest things on TV. That’s one cool thing that …
Stargate Atlantis: Enemy at the Gate
And that’s all they wrote for Stargate Atlantis with this last episode, Enemy at the Gate. After just five seasons, the science fiction series was shown the door with a promise for a made-for-DVD movie that to this date shows little sign of being realized; at least, not …
The Haunted (Animal Planet)
“The Haunted” is a paranormal show that oddly enough, is shown on the Animal Planet. I found this weird until I realized that the show’s premise is that animals can see and hear things (otherworldly things) that human beings cannot. And after watching a few episodes, …
Teach - Tony Danza: Just Say No TV Show
Teach - Tony Danza: Just Say No is the third entry in this documentary series airing over on the A&E network. In this program, viewers get a glimpse into actor Tony Danza’s foray into the education field as he teaches English to a class of 10th grade students …

This episode of Cougartown is about the main character Jules spending her first night with the man she is dating. Going all out to impress him she ends up having a terrible night and the lesson they are trying to portray is to relax and be yourself.
Three episodes …
Piers Morgan Life Stories: Cheryl Cole
Piers Morgans Life Stories. I had heard a lot about his chat with Cheryl Cole and as she had been through a fair bit in the last 12 months I was keen to watch as most people he interviews seem to cry, so they tend to be quite heartfelt.
Whatever …
Monk TV Episode: Mr. Monk and the Naked Man
One of our channels had a mini Monk marathon on yesterday morning and, while our daughter was napping, I had an opportunity to watch some of it.
One of the episodes, Mr. Monk and the Naked Man, was pretty funny.
Basically, there is a murder on a clothing optional beach (which …
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 13 (Anime)
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 13 has section 9 looking into the case of a kidnapped heiress after she is spotted after 16 years since she was kidnapped by a anti cyberization group.
This was an okay episode, it wasn’t the best in the series, and it …
Notorious
Notorious is an hour long program that airs each and every week on The Biography Channel. I try to watch Notorious, although I can not say that I am able to catch this program every time it airs. I like Notorious because I learn about people that I had …
The Simpson’s season 4
The Simpson’s continue to entertain us with another smashing season 4. It starts with Kamp Krusty, where Bart and Lisa are thrilled to go alongwith other Krusty fans, but it turns out to be a disaster. The episode was really funny, it showed that the weaklings can overpower strong …
The Secret Life of an American Teenager
The Secret Life of an American Teenager is a television series that really makes you want to think your decisions through before you make them.
The Secret Life of an American Teenager is based on a 15 year old girl who gets pregnant. The thought of this seems stressful …
Stargate SG-1: Fallout
As odd as this sounds, I actually enjoy Stargate SG-1: Fallout a great deal. The reason this may sound odd to folks is that this is the one time Corin Nemec returned as Jonas Quinn. In fact, the story was his idea.
The reason I like it, though, …
