Sea Hunt: Jettisoned TV Show
From season two, the Jettisoned episode of Sea Hunt occurs after Hurricane Teresa. This adventure series tends to use hurricanes a lot to help the plot of a show. In this case, during the hurricane a pilot had released a nuclear bomb into the ocean for safety …

House : Don’t Ever Change
Last night’s episode of House, “Don’t Ever Change” brought back what was always good about the series, an actual medical mystery that has his team racing against the clock to determine the illness before their patient dies.
Adding to the mystery was the fact the patient is a former record …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Bad Eggs
I don’t know what it was about the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “Bad Eggs” but it really made me want to check the eggs in my refrigerator because I had the willies after watching it.

In this episode things are continuing to get complicated. But there are some funny moments as well.

Snickers Brownie Ice Cream Sandwich
My wife ran to Walgreens Saturday for a couple things and came back with some dessert; Snickers Brownie Ice Cream Sandwiches.

Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn: Easy Chicken Menu TV Show
Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn: Easy Chicken Menu included Quinn’s 23 year old son, Calder. He’s been on this cooking show several times before, but this is the first one to my knowledge where he’s been on it from start to finish. Frankly, it’s a good …
www.backstage.com
Backstage has for many, many years been an invaluable resources for actors. It began as a print publication, but not, as the technology advances, it has too found its way to the internet. I have started using it only recently, but I can already see what a great resource …

Stargate SG-1: Enemies
Season 5 of Stargate SG-1 blasts its way onto the screen in a show called Enemies. It’s a good show well worth the hour watch.

The Twilight Zone: The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street TV Show
I don’t like watching The Twilight Zone: The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street, not because the show is bad, but because it’s so accurate. The show is very well done and has some very believable acting within it. I just hate seeing the harshness of man …
Weird, True and Freaky (animal show)
Have you ever seen a toad that is as big as a chicken and has poisonous skin? Neither had I until I watched “Weird, True & Freaky” on Animal Planet. This particular toad, when squeezed or manipulated roughly will secrete a gooey yellowish looking poison that protects …
From the Earth to the Moon - Part 4: 1968

The League of Gentlemen - Series Three
The League of Gentlemen may have quickly established itself as a sketch show with a difference, but with the third series comes an even more original, ingenious approach.
While the first two series’ may have impressed with its over reaching story arcs and ever developing characters, this third and …
Whatever You Like (song by rapper T.I.)
When I first heard this song, I thought it was quite ignorant. And then the beat and the hook caught me. It wasn’t until I’d heard it about three or four times that I started to like the song. And then after that, I realized …
On Demand Television
Although I thought On-Demand Television would be difficult to figure out prior to us getting it, I simply now could not live without it. We get our On-Demand TV through Comcast, who handles our phone, cable, and internet services for about a hundred dollars each month combined. …

Angel TV show
Angel is one of my most favorite TV shows. Not only is it entertaining, but it also proves to be very addictive. No matter how many episodes I watched of it, it seems like I can never get enough. The characters are very unique and very appealing, and some …
American Idol Season 8 Auditions
I am really psyched by American Idol Season 8 Auditions. In Singapore, we have the same day telecast as the US and that is super awesome. These past 3 nights in a row from Wednesday right up to Friday, I have been watching the auditions non-stop; meaning? …
Dancing with the Stars - Australia - Week 3 TV Show
Week 3 of Dancing with the Stars - Australia began with a big of a joke when they introduced one of the bottom 2 from last week as Jason Stevens, who had actually been voted off last week. Some caught it, but I’m not sure every did. …
Probe: Black Cats Don’t Walk Under Ladders (Do They?)
Isaac Asimov is one of the co-creators of the Probe TV series, which helps to account for the abundance of scientific knowledge and application for this show. It didn’t last long, only a few episodes that aired in 1988, but I enjoyed it. Parker Stevenson and Ashley …
Season 1, Episode 5 - “Turtle Undefeated”
This weeks episode of Life Unexpected like every weeks episode was very well done.
Today we dealt with the fact Cate thought Luxe liked Base better than her, the father and son relationship between base and his dad as well as Luxe’s desire to fit in with the “normal” kids …
Underbelly
One of the biggest reasons I like the different Law & Order programs over other detective shows is I was always impressed that they would focus on solving the crimes and didn’t write in any romantic story lines between the detectives.
Unfortunately, last night, Law & Order SVU crossed that …
Highway Patrol: Auto Press TV Show
Auto Press, which aired in May 1959, was the 33rd episode of Highway Patrol’s four TV season. I can’t really say that there was anything unique about the plot, but I do love the way this series took us all over Los Angeles and to different sites. …
Penny Dreadful (2014 supernatural horror television series)
I’m someone who has always been fascinated with supernatural movies and series, so as soon as I heard about the Showtime original series Penny Dreadful, I could tell that it would be something I might be interested in watching. The clips that I’d seen of it only made me even …
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. …
Highway Patrol: Express Delivery TV Show
From season 4, episode 34 of the half hour police drama Highway Patrol was called Express Delivery. It was another outing that focused on a gem courier. I’d say this series did at least one of those per season, so they had to rely on presentation in …
Birds of Prey episode 8: Lady Shiva
This episode puts focus on Barbara as an old enemy from her past life as Batgirl seemingly returns from the grave. Even if it was just a flashback to showcase the backstory, it was still nice to see Barbara as Batgirl again.
Said enemy is Lady Shiva, …
Jeremiah: Out of the Ashes
Jeremiah: Out of the Ashes was an interesting episode with a couple of different focuses. Much like the previous story, Moon in Gemini, the heroes are split up more than they are together, which I believe is a shame. Buddy shows work best when the chemistry between …
Thriller: Choose a Victim TV Show
Boris Karloff does an introduction, but no tag, to 1961’s Thriller: Choose a Victim which involves a murder attempt and an eventual death. The curiosity is that it’s all a mystery, if you believe what Karloff says in the opening.
The main guest star is Larry Blyden, who portrays …

Hunter x Hunter (tv series)
I tend to like watching certain genres of Japanese animation especially if I feel that they have a very interesting plot and characters, but for some reason I find many of those hard to encounter these days, especially when it comes to new anime. Therefore, what I did was …
Adam 12 - Log 62
This episode of “Adam-12″ has a sub-plot that most of us can identify with — the sound under the hood of our cars that drives us positively batty until it finally stops. We just hope that once it does stop, our cars are still running! In this …
The Young Rebels: Father and I Went Down to Camp TV Show
With the 1970 TV season came a new show for me to love as a young girl. It was about revolutionary times, specifically those living in the town of Chester. Of particular note were twenty-ish Jeremy Larkin, his girlfriend Elizabeth, and two good friends, Henry the intellectual, …
Hogan’s Hero TV Episode: Will the Real Adolf Please Stand Up
I had a chance to catch a re-run of Hogan’s Heroes while at home for lunch today; “Will the Real Adolf Please Stand Up.”
I came in a bit late to see the first few minutes of the episode so, in all honesty, I can’t tell you exactly what was …
Shark show
Shark stars James Woods.
Any show with James Woods is okay with me. I truly feel that he is the country’s finest actor and can carry a show by himself. In this case he does, as the show is not special in any way. The writers need …
TV Series Bones

Dancing With the Stars: S11, Wk 5 Performance TV Show
The performance show for the 11th season of Dancing With the Stars, Week 5, was again given too much time. The network is milking this show, and if they aren’t careful, they’ll overdo it and viewers will go away. We’re smart, and we’ll tire of being toyed …
M*A*S*H: Our Finest Hour
M*A*S*H: Our Finest Hour is a retrospective of the comedy show’s first seven seasons. While there is some new footage, several interview clips from season four’s The Interview are re-used. Clete Roberts, who also conducted the original interviews, returns here with additional scenes.
As in season four’s show, …
Stargate SG-1: Exodus
The fourth season of Stargate SG-1 comes to an end with the cliffhanger episode entitled Exodus. There is a lot right about Exodus, and it makes for a thrilling view, even if not every bit of it thrills me personally.
The less than thrilling part for me is the …
Cha$e episode 6 Twins in the City

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Cold Blooded TV Show
Cold Blooded, the latest episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, didn’t impress me as much as last week’s show about hoarding did, but it was close. This was more of a Halloween themed show, not that many shows could be called that from this current year of episodes. …
Gilligan’s Island - Angel on the Island TV show
There are several references to angels in this episode. Not the real angels in white with wings but angels in reference to special people such as Ginger and her acting career and Mr. Howell. Mr. Howell refers himself to an angel with his wings clipped, in other words …
