The TV Show “Medium” on NBC
Although it’s not returning in the fall line up, and instead will be showing up again in the mid-season line up, the show “Medium” has fast become one of my favorites. “Medium” is based on the real life of one Allison Dubois, a research medium. It stars …
The Ricky Gervais Show - Channel 4
Something new from Ricky Gervais. I recall the first time I saw him on the 11 o’clock show on Channel 4 and I thought he was one of the worst t.v comedians that I had seen. The office brought him back for me though and everything else since, especially …
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: Barry Goldwater TV Show
As surprising as it may seem, Republican Senator Barry Goldwater appeared multiple times on roasting editions of The Dean Martin Comedy Hour , socking it to different entertainers. On this particular evening, the Arizona senator was on the receiving end of the barbs. Naturally, the political jokes …
Law & Order SVU TV Episode: Spectacle
Synopsis: Elliott finds himself re-opening a kidnapping cold case after the boy’s brother kidnaps a college student, holds her hostage and threatens to kill her if the child is not found.
What I liked about this episode: A lot of times, the bad guys on this show are a little …
Smallville Season 8 Episode 3
To me this episode of Smallville was a bit bizarre. The story was that Oliver Queen had been poisoned and only had twelve hours to live so Clark and all his buddies had to find out what was wrong with him and find an antidote.
It brought up …
That 70s Show: Let’s Spend the Night Together
We had to take my daughter to an open house at her new school last night so I didn’t get to watch my regular TV programs when I got home from work. I did, however, manage to catch a re-run of “That 70s Show” entitled Let’s Spend the Night …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Conspiracy
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Conspiracy is an episode that came late in season one and, while enjoyable and certainly commendable for doing something quite different from standard Star Trek fare, has a few glaring plot holes here and there that make the story a little less enjoyable …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: This Year’s Girl
When the slayer Faith was put in a coma last season, you just knew she would have to return at some point. She finally does in the episode This Year’s Girl and I’m glad.
You still have some unfinished business with the Initiative going on, including with Riley, who still …
The Office: Traveling Salesmen
I fear for Andy’s life, but I’ll explain that later. This episode of the Office was about sales calls, everyone split into group of two and went out to sell paper. It is a rare office when you actually get to see people doing their job and while as …
Law & Order CI: Major Case
I was watching Law & Order Criminal Intent last night and have to say, even though I’m still not a huge fan of the Jeff Goldblum addition to the cast, I did like the episode “Major Case.”
The pairing of Nichols and Eames was definitely interesting though I think Goren …
Stargate SG-1: Affinity
Stargate SG-1: Affinity is a decent entry into the eighth season of this long-time television show. After all these years, Teal’c is finally allowed to get an apartment outside the base, but his constant involvement in community situations, particularly involving crimes, is a cause of concern for Washington.
There’s …
Roseanne Season Three
Season three of Roseanne was a good one because it started to set up some regular stories for the series, or at least the next few years. Crystal gets pregnant with Dan’s brother, Becky meets Mark and Roseanne instantly hates him, and Dan starts his motorcycle shop. Plus Roseanne …
Doctor Who: Season 5, Episode 4: The Time of Angels
This episode features the return of not only River Song, but the Weeping Angels, the nightmare fuel inducing monsters from “Blink”. It makes for quite a few continuity nods, which are always fun. Interestingly enough, not only are there nods to previous episodes, but there is quite …
Law & Order SVU: Hardwired
I got to watch bits and pieces of last night’s Law & Order SVU episode Hardwired. For the most part, it was OK. But, it really wasn’t anything that stood out when compared to the other episodes I’ve seen of the show.
Basically, it had the same plot as others, …
That Girl: Secret Ballot
Secret Ballot opens on Halloween with Don Hollinger arriving in costume to tease his girlfriend, Ann Marie, better known as That Girl. The season three story actually has nothing to do with Halloween, but it was a nice way to acknowledge the event without devoting an entire episode …
Columbo: A Case of Immunity TV Show
Unfortunately, Columbo: A Case of Immunity is one of those episodes that really doesn’t appeal to me. It guest stars Hector Elizondo as a foreign embassy worker, so he has diplomatic immunity; at least, on the surface. He’s a security worker who kills the security chief and …
Television Series “Outsourced” Episode “Touched by an Anglo”
I have just started watching this show, but I am really enjoying it. For those not familiar with the story line, a young american named Todd, is sent to management training school in the first episode and returns to find his entire workforce has been fired and management has …
Justice League Unlimited Season One: Double Date
“Double Date” was an interesting episode of Justice League Unlimited, season one. Essentially, the episode features Black Canary and Green Arrow fighting against Huntress and the Question. There is sexual tension in each couple, and the women clearly do not like each other, for whatever reason. …
Adam 12 - Season 1 DVD set
The season 1 DVD set for the “Adam-12″ TV series is a disaster. Universal Studios did a lousy job, almost as if they wanted the series to fail on DVD. It’s a low quality, full of freezes set.
The two-disk set comes encased in a holder. The …
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 …
Futurama Episode: Teenage Leela’s Mutant Hurdles
Synopsis: An accident at an age reducing spa causes all the members of planet express to grow younger and puts Fry and Leela back into their teenaged years.
What I liked about this episode: One of the things I like about many episodes from this series is, about halfway through, …
Blue’s Clues tv show
Blue’s Clues is a tv show on Nick Jr. It is very engaging for young minds, and teaches many things. The characters are all brought to life in a way that reaches out to the minds of young children and captures their attention and developes their imagination. …
Live! With Regis and Kelly
I really enjoy watching this show in the morning. I enjoy the first twenty minutes of it the most. The host chat is definitely the highlight of the show, and I enjoy the new segment they have added to the end of the show, where Regis and Kelly read …
Americas Most Smartest Model
My wife absolutely loves modeling contests on television. I’m not sure what she enjoys about them, but whenever a new one comes on, you can be sure we’re going to be watching it.
I personally find the competitions boring. You have a bunch of ex-models or designers judging wannabes that …
Touching Evil: Slash 30
Touching Evil: Slash 30 was the first episode of this series that I really didn’t enjoy much at all, and I believe the reason why is that it is the first one that was very soap opera-ish. Where dramatic shows often go wrong is when they try to …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Fear-Makers TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Fear-Makers, the third episode of the science fiction series, begins with an experiment that goes awry, costing lives and the destruction of another sub that Admiral Nelson (Richard Basehart) had built. It’s all about how far down the subs can …
It’s Pimpin Pimpin (Katt Williams comedy DVD)
I am a pretty big fan of Katt Williams. At first when I saw him in the Friday movie with Ice Cube, I thought that he was just one of those actors who could easily be pigeonholed into one of those African American comic relief roles. …
The Simpsons Season 7 Episode 15
The Simpsons family visit the lawyer in order to collect the possessions that was signed to them. The lawyer says that they need to spend one night at a haunted house and the possessions will be theirs. After spending the night, the lawyer gives them each $100 and says …

It is right before Mr. Krabs naval reunion, and he ends up molting out of his shell. He is really nervous because these are all the tough naval buddies he is going to see from a long time ago and he doesn’t know how he is going to face …
Street Hawk: Dog Eat Dog
Street Hawk: Dog Eat Dog was the fifth episode of the series about Jesse Mach, ex-street cop who now rides a desk while secretly working for the government and fighting crime on his suped-up all terrain motorcycle. Good looking Rex Smith stars as Mach, with average joe Joe …
How I Met Your Mother
This is a great sitcom! It is definitely not one for the whole family, but I would highly recommend turning this on after the kids are in bed. It is smart and hilarious!
The show centers around a group of five friends in their late twenties and early thirties living …
The Dick Van Dyke Show (TV Show) - Uncle George (Episode)
“Uncle George” is an episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show”. This episode marks the one and only appearance of Rob’s energetic and animated uncle, George Petrie. His visit isn’t limited to spending time with family, but one where he hopes to leave with a new wife at his …
BIg Brother All Stars TV show
Big Brother All Stars! One of the most addicting shows I have ever watched. Ok I admit it I have been a fan since the 2nd season when Will the doctor one. And have been watching it since. I admit I have not actually watched EVERY episode, but I …
It’s Me or the Dog Animal Planet show
Truth be known, if my wife and I could have found anything better on television, we probably would never have watched the Animal Planet show “It’s Me or the Dog.”
After watching it, I have to say I’m not sure if it’s a show I will be watching again.
The concept …
Sea Hunt: The Birthday Present TV Show
Sea Hunt: The Birthday Present was another show that featured star Lloyd Bridges’ oldest son, Jeff. I did have to chuckle a little early on in the program about Jeff’s portrayal. When we first see him, he’s on a dock, crying his eyes out. That’s what …
Naruto Episode 13 Subbed
Despite how promising the previous episode’s ending cliffhanger seemed, episode thirteen came and went without seeing an ounce of the Kakashi versus Zabuza fight. However, that is not to say that this episode was without action. Quite the contrary if truth be told. This episode revolved mainly around two …
Touching Evil: Justine
In my opinion, the third episode of Touching Evil called Justine was the most intense yet. It was spellbinding at the end. I just couldn’t take my eyes off the screen.
What Justine does is wrap up the story that was begun in the pilot, while also taking …
The Fresh Prince of Bel Air
Ok. So I know this show is a classic or something and I sort of remember watching it when it was originally aired. But I don’t understand how everyone thinks Will Smith was the best character of the show. I really don’t think he carried the show. He was …
Stargate: Infinity: Who Are You? TV Show
It’s a common piece of advice, a cliche even, that things aren’t always what they seem. That’s the first lesson of Stargate: Infinity: Who Are You? which is the children’s animated version of the hit science fiction series, Stargate SG-1, only there’s very little that really resembles that …
Jeopardy: Game Show
Jeopardy is my favorite current game show. I like the challenge, because I find shows like Wheel of Fortune too easy. I also like that it asks trivia and knowledge questions. This makes me feel smart when I know the answer. I also like learning …
Tales of the Gold Monkey: Ape Boy
From 1983, Tales of the Gold Monkey: Ape Boy is a story that you could read about in schoolbooks. In a society of apes, a teenage boy is found living with apes, who raised him. He’s wearing jeans. Wonder where he got those, since he was …
Scooby Doo Christmas
I finally had a chance to sit down and watch Scooby Doo Christmas with my daughter last night (it was on TV the other night but it was a school night so I taped it for her). It turned out to be a halfway decent TV special.
Basically, Scooby and …
Droctor Who season 1 episode 2 The End of the World
I thought this show was a serious one until I saw this episode. Well, this episode made me realise that this show is probably in the same category as Power Rangers and similar children Sci-Fi show.
In this episode The Doctor takes Rose 5 billion years in the future to …
Highway Patrol: The Sniper TV Show
From November 1957, Highway Patrol: The Sniper was the 7th episode of the third season. This half hour police drama stars Broderick Crawford as Chief Dan Mathews. In this show, Mathews and the California Highway Patrol deal with a sniper shooting at various cars as they pass by. …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Lobster Man TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea’s 16th show for its fourth and last year on television was called The Lobster Man and aired in January 1968. Starring Richard Basehart as Admiral Harriman Nelson and David Hedison, my favorite of the series, as Captain Lee Crane, this show …
Family Guy: Back to the Woods
Tonight was the first time I’ve seen the Family Guy episode “Back to the Woods” and I thought it was pretty funny.
This is essentially a sequel to the first episode involving actor James Woods; an episode that ended in Peter locking him in a wooden crate. This time, Woods …
