Star Trek: The Galileo Seven TV Show
Star Trek: The Galileo Seven is a good one. It’s another that deals with the issue of prejudice aimed towards Mr. Spock. It’s odd that so many would harbor ill will in his direction, but it’s constant throughout the series. The catalyst for the drama here …
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. …
CHiPs: Crash Diet
One of the things that made the news a lot back in 1970’s was the existence of nudist camps. This comes to play in CHiPs: Crash Diet when a van driven by a man but full of naked women are pulled over by Jon and Ponch. One …
Big Bang Theory - The Terminator Decoupling
“The Terminator Decoupling” is the episode of The Big Bang Theory originally airing on CBS on March 9, 2009. This episode was saved by great chemistry (over the telephone) between Sheldon and Penny. The rest of the episode was light on laughs.
Pros: Sheldon was featured in …
Law & Order SVU TV Episode: Pop
I had intended on watching the newest Ghost Hunters International episode last night but, since there was a new Law & Order SVU on at the same time, I gave in to my wife’s wishes and watched that with her instead. Fortunately, the episode, entitled Pop, wasn’t too bad.
Basically, …
The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 22: F. Emasculata
This episode had a lot going for it. You had escaped convicts, a deadly virus, a government cover up, all the makings of a blockbuster mini-movie. Yet somehow, the whole was less than the sum of its parts.
I was going to nitpick the idea that …
Everybody Hates Chris
Everybody Hates Chris as narrated by Chris Rock.
Taking a bunch of unknowns and extras and creating a situation comedy that focuses on the narration of a successful comedian was a risk, but it seems to work. This comedy series is as close to the Bill …

Monday night raw is an awesome show too watch for so many different reasons. The big reason is that this show is full of shocking surprises and great matches. Monday night raw also has something different going on every week and that is have a guess host who is …

This year featured a new reality type show called the Next Best Thing. The show featured people impersonating movie stars or other famous people. While the show was slightly boring watching week to week. The semi=finals of the show was simply outstanding. The winners were …
Tales of the Gold Monkey: A Distant Shout of Thunder
Tales of the Gold Monkey: A Distant Shout of Thunder was all about fears, which is part of the human equation. In fact, after all was said and done, and the radical native with ancient beliefs dealt with, there was this moment of sympathy and regret that was …
Akame ga Kill (animated series)
“Akame ga Kill” has become one of my new favourite Japanese animated series. Right now, it’s still in its early stages and has eighteen episodes, each lasting roughly 20 minutes. However, I believe that the action and suspense that surrounds each episode is enough to have many anime lovers get …
Trinity Blood episode 20
In the splendor of jolly good old post-nuclear great Britton, now known as the kingdom of Albion, something goes terribly astray. Doesn’t it always, on the apocalyptic horror vampire show known as Trinity Blood? Episode twenty: “Throne of Roses: Kingdom of the north” is a tale of politics and …
Mickey’s Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse
Classical Disney cartoons were always my favourite ones. I like these 2D ones much better than those 3D ones that they are making today bout Mickey Mouse and his friends. I guess a 2D cartoon brings me back in my childhood and for me a 2D cartoon is a …

Boston Legal
Boston Legal stars James Spader and William Shatner
This show could have easily been another dull lawyer show but these two actors and the weekly introduction of weird characters make this a comedy hit. I remember The Practice and seeing James Spader introduced to that cast list. …
Trigun Episode 20
Trigun Episode 20 begins with a hurricane called Jacqueline hitting New Oregon, Milly and Meryl are stuck after unsuccessfully trying to follow Vash while he decides to go visit some old friends who live up in the sky in one of the Project Seeds ships that failed to crash …

Macross Plus Episode 2 begins with Sharron Apple’s concert and Isamu attends. His rivalry with Guld Goa Bowman increases as Guld grows closer to Myung Fang Lone.

Red Dwarf: Beyond A Joke
This episode begins with Cryton creating a lobster diner in celebration of the Red Dwarf crew rescuing him from his old ship, but because he kept the diner a secret they already have plans to visit “Jane Austin World” in the virtual reality suite .I don’t know if this …
True Blood 3.4 “9 Crimes”
If the previous episodes of the newest True Blood season have been uneven, the latest, 3.4 “Nine Crimes” is quite simply disappointing. I can’t say if this is due to source material or simply creative difficulties on the writers’ part, but the pacing is all over the place, the …
Eastenders TV
I love, love, love watching Eastenders on BBC1. The argument, the tears the drama! And it always happens a big family do, like a wedding, at Xmas or of course in the Queen Vic!
I remember curling up on the sofa when I was a kid and it first started, …
House MD. Season 8 Episode 2
I have previously said that House was one TV show that was not afraid to take risks (it has previously replaced almost an entire cast) and it was completely unexpected and brilliant. Well, episode 2 of House has proven me just unexpected the show can get. It left me …
Dead Like Me: Reaper Madness
Dead Like Me: Reaper Madness was the first episode of this series that I just sort of watched and enjoyed calmly. One of the reasons is that I do love happy endings. I like positiveness. I’m just not into doom and gloom and offbeat stuff that …
Fireball XL5
The series Fireball XL5 is just awesome. What is odd about my affection for this puppet series is that I’m not really into puppeteering at all, neither did I watch this series when it was first on back in 1962-1963. At least, I don’t recall watching it, …
Friends sitcom
Although this show is no longer on the air with new episodes, it is often on with reruns, and the DVDs are readily available at most major retailers, so it is easy to get your hands on them.
We love this show. When there is nothing on televsion, we often …
Venture Bros.: Blood of the father, heart of steel
This episode picks up where the season finale left off…sort of. It isn’t told in chronological order, rather it’s shuffled up. The differences were so drastic that I was convinced that they were introducing a multiverse, with one being real and the other taking place in …
Futurama TV show
I really enjoy this show, when I get a chance to see it. It is about a pizza delivery boy named Fry, who inadvertently gets frozen and wakes up several centuries into the future.
He gets a job working for his great-great-…-nephew as a delivery boy around the universe, and …
Grey’s Anatomy
Yet another hospital drama! Boring, not! It’s not a copycat of ER like one review I read over the world wide web. Grey’s Anatomy is not overrated nor is it filled with overacting characters. I consider this one of the most realistic shows today. The scenes are not overly …
Dawsons Creek
Was a television show that lasted for 5 Seasons. It was a late 90’s show, that contained 4 teenagers called Dawson, (James Vender beek.), Joey (Katie Holmes), Pacey (Joshua Jackson) and Jen (Michelle Williams).
Dawson was an inspired Director and Pacey was his best friend. Joey was the girl …
Blacke’s Magic: Prisioner of Paradise
Alexander Blacke (Hal Linden) and his father, Leonard (Harry Morgan), take off for the island of San Marcos in Blacke’s Magic: Prisioner of Paradise. The reason for the visit is the arrest of long sought criminal. Michael Constantine played the small role well. He didn’t have …
NCIS: Missing
Two of my favorite NCIS episodes back to back. We go from “Dead Man Talking,” to “Missing,” which was a wonderful episode.
This case was full of twists and turns…the kind that makes NCIS the number one drama on television today. A navy man goes missing and it …

Glee [Season 5 - Episode 3]
Hello, I never actually expected that I would write about glee, never in my entire life actually, but this episode was astonishing. Now, let me tell you why this episode was better than all of the other ones. I know that Cory Monteith[Finn] died and that is a sad …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Mermaid TV Show
From January 1967, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Mermaid is a terrific show. It’s so dramatic, but I love the humor in it. This 19th show of the third season begins with a cute scene in the control room of the Seaview. It …
Undercover Boss: Choice Hotels TV Show
Steve Joyce, CEO of Choice Hotels, is the executive going under cover in this first show of Undercover Boss’ second season. They’ve changed up the scenario a little bit to try to prevent people from realizing what is happening, now that this is the second year of the …
Parental Guidance
Parental Guidance is a local sitcom on country’s TV station and it stars the ever funny Adrian Pang and Jessica Hsuan. They play this married couple in the sitcom’s current second season. I have been watching them acting since Parental Guidance season one and it has been funny …
Throw Down with Bobby Flay
You know, I really don’t spend a great deal of time watching the Food Network on cable. But, after watching the show, Throw Down with Bobby Flay, I think I might find myself watching more often.
For those of you who haven’t seen the show, Flay is supposedly a famous …
House: Not Cancer
OK, not only was the lastest episode of House “Not Cancer,” entertaining, it had to be one of the grossest episodes I’ve seen recently; a good combination for network television.
This episode was interesting because you have a series of people dying after receiving an organ transplant from the same …
Max Headroom: Dream Thieves TV show
From 1987, Max Headroom: Dream Thieves reunites Network 23’s star investigative reporter, Edison Carter (Matt Frewer) with an old friend, Paddy Ashton (Mark Lindsay Chapman). Actually, Paddy was in competition with him for the Network 23 job but wasn’t chosen by Murray the producer (Jeffrey Tambor). When …
Avatar: The Last Airbender: Book 1, Episode 1: The Boy in the Iceberg
This, like Gargoyles, is a show that I have heard nothing but great things about. After discovering that all three seasons are available on Netflix’s Instant Watch list, I decided to finally check the series out.
The episode opens with a narration explaining the backstory of the four tribes, …
Futurama TV Episode: Mars University
I once again sat down to watch an episode of Futurama with my oldest daughter last night. And, since it was the next one on the DVD, we ended up watching the season 1 episode entitled “Mars University.”
This one was an OK episode but not an overly great one. …
M*A*S*H: Images
Her husband, Charles Frank, has already appeared on this series, and now it’s her turn to guest star. The ‘her’ is Susan Blanchard and the show is M*A*S*H: Images. These two met while working on All My Children years ago, and I always notice them when they …
The Craig Ferguson Show - 2/19/09
I’ve only watched The Craig Ferguson Show a couple of times and tonight’s episode was a good reason why. I didn’t laugh at the so-called monologue, which included a lot of references to something that happened the night before, so anyone tuning in who hadn’t seen the show …
Mr. Monk Gets Lotto Fever
As far as Monk episodes go, Mr. Monk Gets Lotto Fever was actually one of the worse ones I’ve seen.
While the side-plot of Natalie getting a job as television’s lotto girl was somewhat interesting, the reality was the show itself was a bit cruddy because there was really no …
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 …
That Girl: That Senorita
There’s an odd thing that I noticed in That Girl: That Senorita. It’s the fifth season and while things began to ease up in the fourth season, in this one things are definitely looser in tone and style. It’s a sign of the times in which That …
