Jonestown Cult Documentary
Jonestown Cult is a disturbing documentary, released in 2009, concerning the mass suicide of over 900 members in 1978, at the urging of its charismatic leader, Jim Jones. It was interesting because a picture was painted of how the situation could get that bad without people questioning the …
Schinshan
The Schinshan is the name of the TV programme, which is being telecasted in the channel called Hangama. Hangama is a kid’s channel, which is telecasting the programmes in Hindi language. All the programmes of this channel are very good and are very interesting for kids and …
Stargate SG1: The Other Side
“The Other Side” is definitely one of the Stargate SG1 episodes that really makes you think. It is also one that shows the big difference between Daniel’s priorities and those of the rest of the team.
When Alar, the leader of Uronda, gets in touch with the SGC and …
Stargate: Infinity: The Look TV Show
The message of Stargate: Infinity: The Look could probably be gleaned from its title. Remembering that this animated series was designed for the children watching, the moral of the tale is that clothes and accessories don’t make the person,.
The first part of the lesson comes when Harrison …
Gotham (TV Show)
Gotham is a new TV show on Fox that I have given into the hype and decided to watch. I had heard about it while browsing one evening online. I figured I would give it a chance. I will be honest and say that I am a batman fan. …
The Andy Griffith Show: Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. TV Show
The last show of The Andy Griffith Show’s fourth year on the air was actually a pilot program called Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. which featured Jim Nabors as the always lovable Gomer Pyle.
Griffith is the one who found Nabors and put him on his show originally. At that point, …
Loving the CSI shows
Watching the TV all the time, there could be hundreds of shows combined all channels and TV networks which makes it really hard to be able to decide for which one is actually the best of them all. Afterall, we all have different tastes; as for me, I would …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Jar TV Show
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Jar is one of the weird ones that I just don’t like much at all. One viewing was one too many, but I actually watched it twice anyway. The Jar aired in January 1992 and featured Jennifer Dale as Thedy, a self-involved, …
Blue’s Clues Television Show
There are many television shows out there that are geared to toddlers. My most favourite right now for my two-year old is Blue’s Clues. Blue’s Clues is partly animated and is based on a young man and his puppy.
The puppy provides clues via an animated paw print to his …
The Office 2008 Halloween Episode
I love the OFFICE on NBC. This has been a favorite of mine for several years, and I never miss an episode thanks to DVR! Last nite I stayed up late to watch my recently recorded new episode of The Office, starring Steve Carrell. Wow, it was great! I …
My Fair Wedding with David Tutera
I like watching “My Fair Wedding with David Tutera”, but only if not much else is on! The premise of “My Fair Wedding”, which airs on the WE network, is to take women who have horribly over-estimated their wedding design and planning
abilities and put them (and their current …
M*A*S*H: Communication Breakdown
M*A*S*H: Communication Breakdown is one of only a few episodes penned by a woman. In this case, it was Karen Hall who gets the writer’s credit for this tenth season episode. Series star Alan Alda directed the episode. Both did great jobs.
There are two subjects in …
Countdown MSNBC
Countdown with Keith Oberman is the best show on MSNBC currently because it offers a realistic look at politics. The show is geared toward someone who is a Democrat and you can see this is the coverage because the show is always fact checking Mccain. However, during this show …
TV Psych
With his childhood friend Gus, psychic Shawn helps out the local police with his powers to discover the truth in the world of murder and crime. There is only one thing: Shawn (James Roday) is not a psychic but rather a very witty and deductive young man. He is …
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 …
The Twilight Zone: You Drive TV Show
The middle of the 1963-1964 season of The Twilight Zone was definitely the best. There’s a group of decent, entertaining shows that are surrounded by many more mediocre and cringed-filled episodes. I’m happy to say that this outing called You Drive was one of the interesting ones. …
Project Runway
I absolutely love this show! I’m not a fashion diva by any means. I hardly know anything about real fashion. I wear jeans and sneakers most every day. I can still tell what I like and think looks good though!
The designers on the show are all different, with …
NCIS Los Angeles Season 3 Episode 3
Episode 3 of season 3 of NCIS Los Angeles feels like a beginning and an end of a certain storyline. At the end of the last season Hetty has officially quit her post (of course, we know that it did not mean anything since Hetty could never leave the …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Love of a Bad Woman TV Show
Love of a Bad Woman is the 28th episode of Have Gun - Will Travel’s third season and it has a fun opening with Paladin playing chess. I really like these scenes of San Francisco life more than I do the gunfighter stories much of the time. …
George Lopez
I’ve been making an effort to watch the television show George Lopez at night when there’s nothing else good on TV. While the show has some funny moments in it, it’s not the best comedy I’ve seen on television.
Maybe I have to be latino to understand a lot of …
The X-Files Lord of the Flies Episode
One of the things I liked about this television show was the introduction. Of course I also liked the plot and I guess I can say that it is one of the most interesting X-Files episodes I have ever seen. In a way the fictitious show “Dumbass” in …
Serial Experiments Lain Episode 1: Weird
This episode is titled “Weird” and boy does it live up to the name. It’s not as imcomprehensible as I thought it would be, but it’s still pretty bizarre.
For the first seven minutes or so we don’t even have a plot, just a seemingly random collection of mini-scenes. …
Who’s Your Pappa - Real Housewives of Atlanta
Now I’m a huge fan of Bravo’s Real Housewives series…especially their Real Housewives of Atlanta series, mostly for the reason that it showcases that Afican Americans like other ethnic groups can enjoy the finer things in life. The episode Who’s Your Pappa with Ne Ne trying to find …
Family Guy: The Fat Guy Strangler
You know, I could have sworn the show Family Guy has been on the air for a few years now. So, why is it, whenever I watch a re-run at 6:30 or 10:30 it is usually one of only about a dozen episodes?
Last night was one I have seen …
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 …
LAW AND ORDER TV SHOW
I really enjoy relaxing while I watch Law and Order on T.N.T. every night. I have been a court advocate, and worked with the law a great deal. I do a lot of critique watching while I watch this show, and I find it to be pretty close to …
Emergency! Zero
I haven’t seen any episodes of the old television show Emergency in some time now. But, we had dinner at my parents’ last night and my dad was watching it so I ended up watching one with him; “Zero.”
This episode turned out to be halfway interesting. You have a …
The Twilight Zone: The 7th Is Made up of Phantoms TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The 7th Is Made up of Phantoms is a little on the strange show, but since this entire series is about strange, I suppose that is okay. In short, what this episode revolves around are three National Guard soldiers, going about their business while on …
M*A*S*H: Movie Tonight
From the fifth season, M*A*S*H: Movie Tonight is a really enjoyable outing for this comedy television series. It’s fun and lively, and I’ve always enjoyed it. Most of the episode centers around a long-awaited movie night. The picture is one that Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) …
The Black Tower - Part 3
As I begin my review for The Black Tower - Part 3, I should point out that this serialized version of this P.D. James murder mystery aired in multiple parts originally, each of which was about 50 minutes. However, I’m watching these off the DVD set, which has …
M*A*S*H: White Gold
The problem with M*A*S*H: White Gold is that it’s too much of a vehicle for guest star Edward Winter who returns as Colonel Flagg, the rather odd CIA agent who often ends up at the 4077th unit. I was really surprised by how much time Winter got, even …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Day the World Ended TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Day the World Ended, the third show of the third season, aired in October 1966. Skip Homeier is featured in this outing as Senator Dennis, who is being brought aboard the Seaview via the flying sub.
Below are some thoughts about …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Outcast
Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Outcast is a very disappointing episode of the series that was supposed to be an episode that explored homosexuality and an alien culture’s desire to “change” those members of the population that exhibit such “unnatural” feelings, however the means in which this …
CSI AXN Cable Channel
I was not a fan of CSI from the beginning up until my uncle who, according to his wife was said to be a devotee of this program. In one of our conversations, she retorted “my husband never misses an episode of CSI and makes it a point to …
Boston Legal Season 2 Episode 5

Squidward is getting mad at Mr. Krabs because they are down a little in sales and he tries to blame it on the staff not doing their job. He gets so mad that he convinces Spongebob that they should go on strike to show Mr. Krabs that he should …
Friends season 1 episode 1
It was a perfect beginning of the season, and also for the series. From this episode the new era has began, and this show ran for 10 years. The episode began showing that all of the friends are in the coffee house better known in the series as the …
Glee show
Glee is a relatively new show on FOX which previewed in May 2009 and began during the following Fall season. It is currently just past its tenth episode and is about to take its first hiatus.
Glee focuses around a star cast playing a group of kids with only one …
Stargate SG-1: Orpheus
The next episode of Stargate SG-1 in season seven is Orpheus. Now, I have an issue with the final scene, and that issue keeps me from watching this episode as often as I would otherwise. The other thing is that this show refers to Daniel’s ascension, and …
The Andy Griffith Show: One-Punch Opie TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: One-Punch Opie aired in December 1962 and is one of those that deals with a childhood crisis, which means that Ron Howard is at the center of all the hub bub.
The issue is a new boy in Mayberry named Steve Quincy. He’s a bit …
Undercover Boss - Waste Management
Undercover Boss is an intriguing idea for a TV series. I don’t imagine it’ll be on for long, though. There aren’t enough big name companies who are willing to do what is required here. What happens is that a CEO goes undercover for a week. …
The Twilight Zone: The Parallel TV Show
From 1963, The Twilight Zone: The Parallel is an intriguing hour of entertainment. It’s a show I enjoy quite a bit. The story dabbles in the concept of parallel universes or alternate dimensions or alternate realities. There are fine lines that separate the differences of these, …
The X-Files: Season 3, Episode 4: Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose
Much like with “Humbug” we get a stand alone episode that puts a larger emphasis on humor than on eeriness or creepy atmosphere. Also like the aforementioned episode, this one works really well. This is in no small part, due to Peter Boyle’s portrayal of the titular …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Black Bull TV Show
The Black Bull is a name that tells me that I’m probably not going to like this episode; that is, if there’s a bull in it and some bullfighting story. As I began to watch, I just hoped it was metaphorical. The western show stars Richard Boone …
Highway Patrol: Efficiency Secretary TV Show
Season three of Highway Patrol continues with this episode called Efficiency Secretary, which is all about a dedicated secretary who suddenly switches to the wrong side of the law. There really isn’t a lot of time devoted to why she’d make this change, and that’s something I wish …
Columbo: Suitable for Framing TV Show
Ross Martin guest stars as Dale Kingston, who kills his uncle for art in Columbo: Suitable for Framing. Kingston has one of those very serious art shows on television. I’d never watch it. Kingston, though, is enamored with art, and he kills more than his …
Highway Patrol: Typhoid Carrier TV Show
From November 1956, Highway Patrol: Typhoid Carrier has Chief Dan Mathews (Broderick Crawford) and his California Highway Patrol dealing with a potential outbreak of typhoid in the small community of Indian Valley. The problem is a man who is a known carrier of the disease. Frightened when …
The Carol Burnett Show: Eydie Gorme and Chuck Barris TV Show
The Carol Burnett Show which included guest stars Eydie Gorme and Chuck Barris aired in its tenth season. The show opened with a Mrs. Wiggens skit. She was the blonde with the rear end that stuck out and was a secretary to Mr. Tudball, who was brilliantly …
Stargate SG-1: 1969
1969 was indeed a very good year, at least for the team members of SG-1 when they end up walking through the Stargate and finding themselves not in their own time anymore.
Stargate SG-1: 1969 is really a super fun episode that I adore watching. The team’s reaction to their …
