Friends TV show
Most of you probably remember, from 1994 to 2004, the television show, “Friends.” When the show first started off, people involved in the show were not entirely positive that it would stick around beyond the first few episodes. Lisa Kudrow even kept her role on the show …
M*A*S*H: The Price of Tomato Juice
There are a few notable things about M*A*S*H: The Price of Tomato Juice from the fourth season of the medical comedy series. First, it’s just the fun of watching Radar O’Reilly (Gary Burghoff) trying to work some magic and get Colonel Potter (Harry Morgan) tomato juice for breakfast …
The Four-Winged Dinosaur (DVD)
This is the interesting story of the microraptor: one very strange dinosaur. In fact, this must be the world’s strangest dinosaur ever! This dinosaur actually had wings on both its front and back legs! When I read that on the DVD box, I couldn’t believe it as that just …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Real Me
Well, it took 5 seasons but Buffy the Vampire Slayer finally has a sister (I say that because most shows try to mix things up a bit by adding another character through a pregnancy; usually a sibling). But, the interesting thing about the episode “Real Me” is the sister …
Dexter Season 6 Episode 4
Dexter has been my absolutely my most favorite show for many years. I love every minute of it. Season 6,, however, is not as entertaining as the previous one, though it is more intense and charged with meaning. Episode 4 of season 6 of Dexter was really, really …

Guiding Light
I first discovered Guiding Light when I was young I can’t even remember how old I was. I used to watch it on every holiday, and during the entire Summer of vacation. As I got older and began to do teenage things my faithfulness faltered as cable television and …
That Girl: My Part Belongs to Daddy
The most disappointing thing about season four’s That Girl: My Part Belongs to Daddy is that for just about the first time, or maybe just the second, they used an interior car scene that was clearly done on the stage. In the past, they’ve done more location shoots …
Shark Week: Bull Sharks: The Deadliest Shark
Shark Week on Discovery is a recurring series that usually runs in August of every year. It features a number of programs on different types of sharks. This episode discusses the bull shark, which scientists say is in fact the most dangerous shark to people.
I was surprised at the …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Samaritan Snare
The second season episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, titled “Samaritan Snare” has a few comical moments to it, but ultimately, the episode is a real mess. By mess, I mean the story is pretty weak and implausible and even boring. In this episode, the Enterprise answers a …
The Big Bang Theory show
I am so glad that the writers strike is over! You know why? That means that my favourite sitcom is now back on the air every Monday night! The Big Bang Theory!
This show is so funny as it follows the lives of a couple of nerdy type guys. They …
Wagon Train: The Story of Cain
Wagon Train: The Story of Cain is one of a handful of stories that I remembered for years after seeing it. So many scenes from this episode were stamped into my brain. It was just so memorable that I couldn’t wait to see it again once this …
MacGyver: Soft Touch
Teri Hatcher makes her second appearance on MacGyver in this episode called Soft Touch. While men may be beguiled by the smiling Penny Parker, she still just frustrates me. She’s a ditz, and I can’t stand how her ineptitude continues to get Mac into all kinds of …
One Big Happy Family (TLC)
I have no idea why I can’t seem to find much information on TLC’s show “One Big Happy Family.” This show features a family of overweight black people. There is a father, mother, son and daughter—”each of whom weighs over 300 pounds. I would say …

Hits 1 TV Show is something like the local TV show, ‘Vidz’, which is non-existent no more. Hits 1 TV show program is still around and the host is one guy which I don’t know the name and the lady host is Amy Search’s daughter, Nabila. I think …
Futurama TV Episode: Fear of a Bot Planet
Well, so far, I have liked most of the Futurama episodes I have been watching with my daughter over the past couple of days. But, the season 1 episode Fear of a Bot Planet was actually kind of weak compared to most of the others.
The problem with this episode …
John Doe season 1 episode 1 pilot
You know Lincoln Burrows from Prison Break? I was wondering where have I seen him before and then I remembered seeing a first episode of a show called John Doe, about a man without past who knows everything about everything and everyone except himself. Dominic Purcell was also, in …
The Good Wife: Cleaning House TV Show
The Good Wife: Cleaning House is a pretty good hour of drama in many ways. Below are a few things that stood out to me about this particular episode.

Part 3 of Devices and Desires, a six-part series based on the P.D. James novel, has the standout line of the first three parts, and probably of the entire story. Spoken by Caroline Amplett to the very naive Jonathan when she says, “You say you love me but …
Desperate Housewives Season 5 Episode 1
I watched Season 5 Episode 1 of Desperate Housewives on my local channel yesterday and was so entertained. This season starts with everything fast forward 5 years later and as usual, we see the wives being in desperate situations but either they do not mask it or they just …
Full House Season 7
Full House season 7 signaled the beginning of the end, though it doesn’t appear as though any of the cast knew it at the time. As I watched the episodes, I couldn’t help but wonder if the producers were planning on making it the last season, and then changed …

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig Episode 13 has Section 9 looking for the man who sculpted Hideo Kuze’s face, the man who attacked the prime minister. Meanwhile Pazu is having his own problems.

That Girl: What Are Your Intentions?
Interestingly, the opening of That Girl: What Are Your Intentions? has a slight change to it. The very beginning where Ann is walking to the office building is replaced by her walking by and helping a little girl to get a drink from a water fountain. Changes …

Mrs. Columbo: A Riddle for Puppets TV Show
The third outing of the short lived series, Mrs. Columbo, was called A Riddle for Puppets. Now this show has a few things going against it which led to its quick demise. The most obvious is that Kate Mulgrew, who stars in the title role, just …

Ghost Hunters: Haunted Asylum
Well, the Ghost Hunters episode I watched last night, Haunted Asylum, was an OK episode but definitely not one of the best ones I have seen.
They are asked to visit an asylum in West Virginia and walk around the place looking for spirits that are supposedly there.
First, Jason and …
Sea Hunt: Time Fuse TV Show
Star Trek’s Leonard Nimoy is back for more underwater action in Sea Hunt: Time Fuse, a third season episode which aired back in July 1960. Nimoy appeared in several shows from this adventure series. They must have loved his work since they brought him back so often, …
America’s Got Talent - July 27, 2010 TV Show
Sometimes I love America’s Got Talent, and sometimes it bores me. I’m not fond of any of the judges, who make no sense in who they put through or buzz out. It’s not that I like David Hasselhoff, but I miss him. I’m not a fan …
Climax!: Casino Royale TV Show
Hosted by William Lundigan, Barry Nelson, Peter Lorre, and Linda Christian starred in the Casino Royale presentation of Climax! It’s presented in acts, which I love. That’s a very classic way of putting on a performance. This is really going back in TV history, to 1954. …
The Christophers Present … A Link in the Chain
The Christophers Present … A Link in the Chain is another show I just stumbled upon while searching out something new. I’m just tired of the junk we see on TV these days. I wanted new shows, even if those new shows were decades old, like this …
Laramie: Ladies Day TV Show
Laramie: Ladies Day continued to set up the ‘new’ Laramie. There was a desire to return the series to that family setup which it had had originally in season one. Because of the cast departures of Hoagy Carmichael and Robert Crawford Jr. in the second season, the …
The Twilight Zone: No Time Like the Past TV Show
The Twilight Zone loves to go to the past, and sometimes to the future, but shifting through time is one element of storytelling that is prevalent throughout the entirety of the series. In 1963’s No Time Like the Past, Dana Andrews stars as a scientist named Paul Driscoll …
Cold Case - Volunteers show
I don’t get many opportunities to watch the show Cold Case. But, i took part of the day off to take my daughter to the fair (which was ruined by the rain) and ended up watching a re-run of it today “Volunteers.” It was pretty decent.
The show starts out …
Remembering THE CONTENDER
Our whole family watched every episode of THE CONTENDER. Even the replays whenever we had the chance. I must say, we all experienced a very deep and wide scope of emotions watching the CONTENDER than we did watching any other reality show.
I guess one reason is because a vast …
The Fall Guy: The Snow Job TV Show
From March 1982, The Fall Guy: The Snow Job has Colt Seavers (Lee Majors) and company in Aspen for a combination work and leisure trip. The opening teaser in the Colorado resort town has some very nice night scenes of skiers lighting up the slope. I really loved …
Due South: Mask
One of the things I really like about Due South: Mask is the Indian culture and lore that comprises a big part of the story. I’m always taken with the legends and such that are part of the very rich Indian heritage. This show is full of …
Louis and the Nazis (2003)
In one of his more recent films, Louis Theroux travels to America to investigate the Neo-Nazi movement. It’s one of his more daring and uncomfortable endeavours; opting for more head on investigation than the lighter distractions his Weird Weekend series had to offer, but all the same, Theroux carries …
The Great British Bake Off: S1, Ep2 TV Show
The second of six episodes for The Great British Bake Off occurs in Scotland, and it’s quite picturesque. I think I love watching the scenery almost more than I do the cooking aspects of these programs. I also love the cooking set up which has the bakers under …
Big Bang Theory TV show
I can’t believe that for the last few years I have not been watching Big Bang Theory. I heard about it, but the description of the show did not seem appealing to me at all. I sounded like just another one of those “time wasting” sitcoms.
One day, when …
Adam 12 - Log 51
“Let’s be happy in our work, Reed.”
That’s the sub-plot them of the Log 51 episode of “Adam-12. It’s a funny episode to watch, with Reed and Malloy just having no luck getting a call that will let them earn their pay for the shift. It’s a carry …

Star Trek: Voyager - Ashes to Ashes
Star Trek: Voyager - “Ashes to Ashes” offers up a unique and fresh science fiction concept that I like: what if there was an alien race out there that reproduces using the bodies of the dead? This episode features such an alien race. They scour the galaxy for members …
