The X-Files Season 1, Episode 13: Beyond the Sea
I was really looking forward to watching this episode again. Brad Dourif is awesome and his guest appearance here was one of the first performances that introduced me to him. I was expecting him to be a total show stealer. Interestingly enough, he wasn’t quite the …
Law & Order SVU TV Episode: Guilt

What I liked about this episode: The thing …
Crimewatch - T.V Show - BBC
There are few t.v shows that are only shown once a month and successful, but that is without question the case with Crimewatch. The title of the show tells you much of what you need to know really, but it is shown on the BBC and is 1 hour …
Season 2 Real Chance of Love
I am ashamed. But I will admit that I do watch VH1’s “Real Chance of Love” Season 2. This is just one of those programs that you say is really stupid. But you can’t help but to watch anyway. At any rate, these two …
Star Wars The Clone Wars: Rising Malevolence (episode 2)
Anakin Skywalker stars in this episode that’s mainly about a secret Separatists weapon that is destroying the Jedi forces. No one knows what it is as there are never any survivors to tell what he or she saw. Of course, we find out very soon exactly what it is. …
Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: Pai Gow TV Show
Most of Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: Pai Gow doesn’t impress me as much as most other episodes from the drama do. The series revolves around the reunited father and son, Kwai Chang Caine and Peter Caine, as played by David Carradine and Chris Potter, respectively.
The essence of …
CSI AXN Channel
I was a fan of CSI since the beginning until my uncle, his wife said he was a fan of this program. In our conversations, she replied: “My husband never misses an episode of CSI and made a point of returning to work early or default, whether registered if …
Batman Beyond (tv series)
While I was not fortunate enough to possess the comics themselves, I grew up being interested in superheroes and looking forward to watching Batman on a Saturday morning as a child. He still is actually one of my favourite DC characters, who I’m a little sensitive about when it …
Columbo: The Complete Fifth Season DVD set
Columbo: The Complete Fifth Season DVD set basically follows the same suit as the fourth season set. That equals an adequate presentation by Universal, one that is better than what they did with the season 3 set, but not as wonderful as the first season set.
The fifth season …
That Girl: That Shoplifter
You just have to feel for Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) in That Girl: That Shoplifter. She’s so innocent and naive sometimes. Of course, back in 1971 when this ABC hit comedy aired, things weren’t as jaded as they are today.
While working as a specials announcer at a …
Voyagers!: Jack’s Back
The 20th and final episode of the Voyagers! television series, Jack’s Back has Phineas Bogg (Jon-Erik Hexum) accused of being the sinister Jack the Ripper. The man behind the course of events is Bogg’s voyager school nemesis, Drake, who a few episodes back tried to have Bogg stripped …

Fox News Channel
With the multiple news channels that we have access to in the United States, we all have to make choices about what channels we watch. I think that Fox News is the best choice among American news channels. This is for many reasons.
First of all, its slogan …
Mr. Monk Stays in Bed
I was bored yesterday so I ended up watching a re-run of the show Monk “Mr. Monk Stays in Bed.”
Compared to some of the episodes that have been on lately, this one was actually a breath of fresh air because it turned out to be fantastic.
Monk, who we all …
Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer: 9-15-10 TV Show
Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer from September 15, 2010 was another waste of time for me. This was just their third show, but again, I have to ask what the point is in watching two immature females trying to control the airwaves?
Alexis is this tall blonde who appears …
Seven days Season 3 Episode 7 The Fire Last Time
I guess every show sooner or later has to have an episode about escaped prisoners so the time for this show to present such an episode has arrived. Although the title of the show was The Fire Last Time I will remember it under another title, The Episode That …
Mr. Monk and the Dog
Here are a few thoughts from Friday night’s Monk episode; Mr. Monk and the Dog:
One of the themes in this final season of Monk seems to be Monk’s willingness to try to get over his phobias. Earlier, he conquered his claustrophobia and, in this episode, he took in a …
Desperate Housewives
I am a big fan of the series Desperate Housewives. I am so glad it is on back to back episodes on Lifetime now. I am able to dvr two if not three different episodes every day. Desperate Housewives is on ABC normally, and the show made its debut back …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Tyrannosaurus Rex TV Show
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Tyrannosaurus Rex is somewhat different in that we get to see a movie within a TV show. It’s nothing extensive, but I like this concept. Basically, we have an animator being constantly criticized and even bullied because he can’t create a dinosaur that …
Law and Order: CI Season 1, Episode 7
This is one of the confusing episodes in Criminal Intent history because the story tends to jump around quite a bit and involves a number of different characters, some of whom only appear for a few minutes. The episode opens on a reporter who is being yelled at over …
Justice League Unlimited: the Doomsday Sanction
Typically “Justice League Unlimited” focused on the less famous members of the Justice league and that is good. It adds depth to the D.C. universe which isn’t in most cartoons because they need to focus on a few characters.
The second thing it does is serve as a contrast to …
Hawthorne: Hidden Truths TV Show
Hawthorne: Hidden Truths had quite a bit of drama and intensity to it. It picks up a couple of days after the conclusion of the prior week’s shows, which ended with Nurse Christina Hawthorne (Jada Pinkett Smith) coming home to find her daughter with a man in a …
Neon Genesis Evangelion episode 11
Welcome to the first test of the Nerv emergency backup power generation center, which Nerv supports 100%! Yeah, right. On Neon Genesis Evangelion episode 11 “The day Tokyo 3 stood still” is a sure fire classic that still makes me crack up over how ineffective this system really is. …
CHiPs: Trick or Trick
CHiPs: Trick or Trick is the Halloween show and it begins great, with 13 black cats running in front of the very superstitious Frank Poncherello (Erik Estrada). For Ponch, it only gets worse, but it makes for great fun as he deals with walking under a ladder and …

Beast Wars - Call of the Wild
Beast Wars - Call of the Wild is an episode that I found a little on the boring side even though the basic concept is an interesting one: what would happen if the Maximals were forced to stay in beast mode for an extended period of time? Apparently, according …
Biography: Nancy McKeon TV Show
The Biography series, often presented on A&E but now more often and regularly shown on The Biography Channel, has produced some outstanding and informative hours of programming. Sometimes I learn a lot and at other times, it’s just entertaining. In the case of the biography on actress …

The Twilight Zone: The Changing of the Guard TV Show
From June 1962, The Twilight Zone: The Changing of the Guard closed out the third season of this wonderful science fiction series. It was a terrific show to end a season with as well. It’s a story many people can identify with and that’s part of its …
One Tree Hill Tv Show
I think I am one of those rare people who really finds that show ridiculous. There’s this bunch of 16 years old kinds who do a bunch of dumb stuff and they treat themselves as they were adults. I know that in my time there was Beverly Hills but …
Mr. Monk Gets Hypnotized
When it comes to season finales, or at least summer finales, you think the show Monk would leave its best episode for last, in an effort to keep you wanting more.
Mr. Monk Gets Hypnotized is not one of the best episodes I’ve seen.
Really, nothing about this episode is unique …

House of Payne show
I have watched this show called house of Payne quite a few times. In general I really like it. It’s funny and entertaining. I watch it quite a bit now. Some episodes aren’t as good as others but that is true with any show. I like this show because …
No Ordinary Family: No Ordinary Earthquake TV Show
No Ordinary Family: No Ordinary Earthquake deals with an earthquake that wasn’t and JJ Powell’s refusal to be honest with his parents about his powers.
This latter plot I’m sick of and have been for the last couple of shows. This character is turning me off because I just …
Iron Chef America
One of my very favourite television shows is Iron Chef America. It is shown on the Food Network (Channel 34 on Cogeco Cable) several times a week, generally in the evenings after 9 p.m.
The premise of the television show is that chefs who are specialists in different areas …
House: The Jerk
Finally, a patient that is so annoying, it makes House look like a saint. The episode “The Jerk” was actually quite an interesting episode considering he has a dying patient, doesn’t know why the teenager is dying and has to deal with someone who is such a jerk, you …
Mirai Nikki (Future Diary) Anime/Animated Series
First and foremost, it should be noted that this anime series can easily unnerve some people. There is a plethora of psychotic moments and gore, injuries and deaths littering the series. The plot itself can seem wicked, especially the main characters.
It is a tale of a game of survival …
Veronica Mars Season 1 Episode 1
*Spoilers Ahoy*
I bought the first season of Veronica Mars on DVD because I’d heard from so many people how good it was. Magazines, Newspapers and blogs were all putting it on their “best of the year” lists, even horror writer/god Steven King was a fan. In fact, I didn’t …
NCIS
NCIS is a crime drama. It stands for Naval Crime Investigation and that’s what it is. They deal with crimes that involve the navy. While on the surface that may sound boring it’s actually not. NCIS is a very well done show and is …
NCIS: The Boneyard
“The Boneyard” is a very good episode of NCIS. Fornell is back which is always fun for viewers as we get to see the Fornell/Gibbs dynamic that is always entertaining to watch.
Seems the FBI, namely Fornell, has been trying to take down a mobster by the name of …
Bones: Spaceman in a Crater
Well, this episode of Bones, Spaceman in a Crater, turned out to be decent; but the earlier episodes usually were; unlike some of the more recent ones.
This episode had the team investigating remains that apparently had fallen from a plan and shattered upon contact with the ground. After seeing …
Sony BRAVIA KLV-S32A10 32 in.
The Sony BRAVIA 32 inch LCD TV is a flat panel wide screen LCD HDTV. It is a thin, silver unit with a small base that swivels, oh yea and it is as cool as it sounds. The resolution of the TV is 1024×768 which is pretty basic, 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 …

Due South: Spy vs. Spy
Due South: Spy vs. Spy was a fairly decent episode of this final season of the adventure drama. It had some interesting and clever elements to it, as well as some small comedy that worked for the bizarreness of the story. Basically, the caper surrounds a secret organization …
