News 36 KXAN
I usually watch KXAN channel 36 for my news channel. I think the anchors Robert Hadlock and Leslie Rhode are very professional and yet they give us the news in a more human manner instead of simply reading the news.
Rhode has not been on the channel until recently …
Family Feud
I haven’t seen the game show Family Feud in ages so, when I watched it last night, I wasn’t sure if I was watching a brand new episode or a repeat.
In any case, it turned out to be an entertaining way to spend a half hour.
The game itself was …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Siege TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Siege, the 28th episode of the 4th season, was a show that focused on a gang of sorts who demanded to be paid protection money; otherwise, they threatened to poison the water wells. It’s a scary concept that we can actually identify …
Tenspeed and Brown Shoe: The Millionaire’s Life TV Show
Tenspeed and Brown Shoe: The Millionaire’s Life aired originally in March 1980 and was the detective show’s fifth outing. By now, we’re pretty comfortable in the unique relationship that is building between Lionel Whitney (Jeff Goldblum) and sometimes con man, E.L. ‘Tenspeed’ Turner (Ben Vereen).
This episode actually shows …

This episode picks up where the last left off, with the fire tribe locating both Aang and Kitara as well as the local tribe. The tribe views it as Aang’s fault and exiles him. He takes responsibility and agrees to go. Kitara stands up for him …
Lifetime Channel
I will admit it! I love a good Lifetime movie. My roommates used to make fun of me when they would come home and find me on the couch watching Lifetime. You really can’t go wrong with a lazy day watching a corny, way too long, with dried up …
Property Ladder Television Show
There are not a lot of reality television shows that can be described as entertaining, educational, and informative. However, TLC’s “Property Ladder” which airs on Saturday mornings is one of them. “Property Ladder” documents the experiences of first time home flippers attempting to buy houses for low …
Curb Your Enthusiasm: The End
While Richard Lewis ails away in hospital, desperate for a kidney, Larry still won’t budge and offer up his own. But, Larry’s mind (and general Larry-ness) is altered when his private investigator finally offers him the news that he is indeed adopted.
After jetting off to meet his birth …

Stargate Universe: Air Part 1
My interest in the Stargate Program is pretty much confined to the first eight years of Stargate SG-1. I did not like Stargate Atlantis and its affect on SG-1, and I suppose for much of the same reasons, I haven’t been interested in Stargate Universe, either. However, …
Destination Truth show
Destination Truth is a show that airs on Wednesday nights after Ghost Hunters on the SciFi channel, or SyFy now. This show is mainly about cryptozoology but they’ll occasionally do paranormal cases as well. It’s a bit like Ghost Hunters but the crew for Destination Truth is a …
Star in the Night
Star in the Night from way back in 1945 is a really simple, modern day simile of the Nativity. It’s set out in the middle of a little town and opens with three cowboys on horseback, riding along with Christmas presents. They see a bright star shining …
Peer Pressure (Starhunter Episode)
This is a particularly and unfortunately bad episode of the Starhunter television series. I love Starhunter, it is one of my favorite television programs ever produced, but unfortunately this is not one of the better episodes to come from the franchise. It at times verges on the …
How I Met Your Mother - Front Porch
“Front Porch” is the episode of How I Met Your Mother originally airing on CBS on March 16, 2009. This was a very funny episode with a lot of great physical comedy and a few powerful scenes. This is probably the best comedy on American television.
Pros: …
The Dynamic Scooby Doo Affair
My daughter and I ended up watching a couple older Scooby Doo episodes last night; the episodes where Scooby and the Mystery Gang meet Batman and Robin and help them solve crimes involving some familiar characters from that series.
The first episode, The Dynamic Scooby Doo Affair, proved to be …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Man in an Hourglass TV Show
This review will cover the December 1962 show, Have Gun - Will Travel: Man in an Hourglass. It was the 12th episode of the western’s sixth season, and it does have some very interesting elements to it. As always, Richard Boone stars as Paladin, the sometimes poetic …
The Simpsons: Brush with Greatness
I haven’t seen the Simpsons episode “Brush With Greatness” for a while, but finally got to see it again tonight. It’s not quite as great as I remember it, but it still turned out to be funny.
Marge is asked to paint a portrait of Mr. Burns for an exhibit …
Fear Factor TV Show
Fear Factor is a great show and I really enjoy it. It’s a series about a group of couples who compete in multiple challenges to test their fear levels. At the end one of the couples wins some money. Couples can be anything from a romantic …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Pangs
I’ve seen several Christmas episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer before. But, the episode “Pangs” is the first one I’ve seen that takes place at Thanksgiving. And, for the most part, it wasn’t too bad.
Of course, while I’m all for the spirit of political correctness, watching an episode about …
The Fairy Jobmother TV show
I was flipping through channels and came across the show “The Fairy Jobmother”. I had never heard about the show previously and I thought it was a creative title, so I gave it a try. The show was a professional who helped people who had been hurt …
American Idol’s Michael Johns
This Australian guy Michael Johns for me is the winner of American I do, although he did not make it as he got voted out early. I really love all of his performances. Every song he sings is heart-wrenching and makes me want to cry each time. You can …
America’s Next Top Model Cycle 10 Episode 9
The girls arrived in Rome. Tyra Mail reads, ” you are now in Rome but this is no holiday. It’s going to be a lot of work if you want to become America’s Next Top Model. Head just around the corner, find the flag of Rome, and your new …
The Twilight Zone: A Thing About Machines TV Show
The Twilight Zone: A Thing About Machines is a really odd show. Actually, I can see how the humor aspect of the episode works. I can even see the Future Shock elements, but it’s still an odd outing for this series.
Basically, the story has a wealthy man …
M*A*S*H: Say No More
M*A*S*H: Say No More focuses on a wounded soldier at the 4077th. This brings the soldier’s father to the camp. General Addison Collins, played John Anderson, is gung-ho military. He’s everything that Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) detests, and one thing Hawkeye can’t stand is watching General …
Avatar: The Last Airbender: Book 1, Episode 6: Imprisoned
While looking for food, the group comes across another Earthbender. It’s funny how this chapter is called “Water” and, Katara notwithstanding, we haven’t really seen any water benders. We’ve seen more of the fire and earth benders, but I’m sure we’ll see them in time.
When they greet …
Spongebob Squarepants TV Episode: No Free Rides
Synopsis: After Spongebob fails his driving exam yet another time, Mrs. Puff decides she can’t handle it any more and gives him an easy way to get his driver’s license; only to regret it when she learns his parents are giving him a boatmobile.What I liked about this episode: …
Ghost Hunters: Essex County Penitentary
You know what, I had a lot of hope for last night’s Ghost Hunters episode at Essex County Penitentary. After all, they had Josh Gates (from Destination Truth) helping them out so you would think they would find something. But, it was actually a bit disappointing.
First of all, why …
Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Terrorist Attack
Wanda pays a visit to Cheryl and Larry with some shocking news; a terrorist attack is about to go down in Los Angeles—¦at least according to a friend of a friend with a CIA contact.
There’s a lot going in this episode; Alanis Morrisette pops up as the act a …
America’s Next Top Model
For me America’s Next Top Model is very entertaining and informative to watch. Aspiring models can learn a lot from the show, everything a person needs to know to get hired for a modelling job is being thought in the show. I think that’s the best modelling show so …
The Twilight Zone: Nightmare at 20,000 Feet TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Nightmare at 20,000 Feet is one of the classic episodes that people love to see. It’s an intriguing mystery that leaves you going ‘whoa’. The story surrounds Bob Wilson (William Shatner in his second Twilight Zone appearance), a man just recovered from a nervous …
Devious Maids (tv series)
I discovered a lot of television series last year, but one of them that remains my favourite is “Devious Maids”. This is despite its very close resemblance to one of those daytime soap operas.
I would watch “Devious Maids” every Sunday night when it would air on Lifetime, and I …
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Winner TV show
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Winner is one of my favorite episodes of this hour long program. The catalyst for the fun is Adam McFadden’s 10 year high school class reunion and it doesn’t go completely smoothly.
Here are some of the reasons why I like Winner so very …
Emperor’s New School: Ramon’s a Crowd
One way to tell a series is starting to turn the corner a bit and is moving toward the final episodes is with the addition of new characters to the main cast. The show Emperor’s New School did this in its second and final season with the addition of …
Macross Plus Episode 4 (Anime)
Macross Plus Episode 4 begins with Sharron taking control of all the computer systems and using them against Isamu who is trying to stop her and rescue Myung.
This was the best episode because it brings the story to a good conclusion while showing off the excellent fight …

To choose the cable service is a no brainier in east coast of USA. As there are only two service providers Verizon and Cablevision. But what to choose from is the difficult part. Well we had cablevision- optimum service since 4 years. If you are a new member then …
Crowned tv show
A new reality tv show is starting! This is the premiere of Crowned: The Mother of all Pageants. The name of the show is hilarious. I am so excited for this show to start. I have been seeing advertisements on television all month long for the start of this …
MacGyver: Slow Death
MacGyver: Slow Death is one of those average MacGyver episodes that is very pleasant to watch, though there isn’t really anything spectacular about it. Mainly, it’s an entertaining hour, and that’s really what television is supposed to be. The show has some great interaction with the characters …
Checkmate: Death Runs Wild TV Show
Death Runs Wild, featuring Anne Baxter, is the first episode of the detective drama, Checkmate. Checkmate, Inc. is actually the name of a private detective agency run by Don Corey and Jed Sills, as played by Anthony George and Doug McClure. The third regular is Sebastian Cabot, …

At the core of the most holy shrine, there lies an single flower, no an lotus bud that floats on a lake with an romantic intent forever more. This is Eureka Seven episode 41 “Acerperiance 3″, a story as deep and more romantic than the fragile bonds of time …
The Tonight Show with Jay Leno
Most of us “Baby Boomers” grew up watching “The Tonight Show” when it was hosted by the inimitable Johnny Carson. Johnny was classy, witty and talented enough to make even the dullest guest look fascinating. Whenever you heard the show’s theme song start, you’d feel so excited, …
Brain Games (tv show)
One of the most interesting new television shows that I’ve discovered recently is one called Brain Games that comes from time to time on the cable television channel National Geographic. I think that the reason why I like it so much and the reason it stands out is because …
The Legend of Zelda
One of my best memories of growing up was coming home every Friday afternoon and watching Zelda the cartoon. Wow I just loved this show so much. I think this is my favorite video game TV series ever. Link was so funny and cool in the show. And all the …
The Andy Griffith Show: Opie the Birdman TV Show
The fourth season of the wonderful comedy series, The Andy Griffith Show, began on September 30, 1963 with a very nice show called Opie the Birdman. However, while I have watched this show several times over the years, it’s one I don’t watch as often as others. …

Hector’s Hectic Life cartoon
Hector’s Hectic Life is a cartoon that is brand new to me. I’ve never seen or heard of it before, but it was a holiday offering from the golden age by UM&M TV Corporation.
So as it turns out, Hector is a dog who always gets into trouble. …
