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 …
Britney Spears on Ellen
It is so very much entertaining and fun to watch Britney Spears on Ellen. There was this special showcase for the holiday that Ellen had put through and she, along with Britney went over to several homes and purely doing just that; singing and dancing and whatnot. Tremendously …

The Twilight Zone: A World of Difference TV Show
The Twilight Zone: A World of Difference is a surprisingly charming show about escape. It guest stars Howard Duff as an actor who retreats into the life of his character, actually believing he is that character.

Nova: The Four Winged Dinosaur (TV episode)
Nova is a show that I really enjoy. It is an educational show on public television (public television is a station where it is not for profit and relies on donations from the public) Nova always has interesting science stories on it. This episode was about the paleontology (the …

That Girl: Thanksgiving Comes But Once a Year, Thankfully
This episode from ABC’s hit show That Girl celebrates the Thanksgiving holidays. It’s called Thanksgiving Comes But Once a Year, Thankfully. I’d actually forgotten about this one. The plot is centered on Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) and Don Hollinger (Ted Bessell) deciding that they want to …
Martha: The Martha Stewart Show: 9-15-10 TV Show
The September 15th edition of Martha: The Martha Stewart Show pretty much bored me. I just am not a fan of hers and while she was a bit more relatable with her audience, she isn’t someone I enjoy watching.
One segment of the show involved designer Tory Burch, which …
The Good Life Series 3 Episode 7 The Last Posh Frock
‘The Last Posh Frock’ is the last (seventh) episode of Series three of The Good Life and it is a very enjoyable one. Barbara (Felicity Kendal) feels she has lost her femininity since she gave up her posh frocks for the jeans and dungarees more appropriate for their …
Street Hawk: Hot Target
From 1995, Rex Smith stars as Jesse Mach aka: Street Hawk. He’s a secret hero in a sense, using a hyped up motorcycle with all kinds of gadgets and gizmos to defeat the villains. This episode, Hot Target, is the 9th of the season, which actually is …
Merlin Season 2, Episode 11
I am a huge fan of this TV series. Mind you, it is a British production, and I think that BBC airs it in Britain, although cable providers here in Canada do have access and rights to the program.
Merlin starts on a simple premise. If you love …
Medium: How to Kill a Good Guy TV Show
Medium: How to Kill a Good Guy is a bit of a transitional show, which is sad really. That’s because it’s the episode where Ariel DuBois is about to head off to college. This is a huge loss, not just for the family, but for we the …
Gilmore Girls
WOW! This tv series is WOW! Have you seen this? If you haven’t, you should! I’ve watched this series on dvds, I borrowed my aunt’s dvds, she has like every season of them. I never watched them on tv, since I really don’t have …
Angel Episode 1.1: City Of
I started watching Angel back in high school. It was still the first season, though I was unaware of that at the time. I lost track of it around mid-season 2 and never really caught up. With reruns airing on TNT, it gave me a chance …
The Simpsons Season 8 Episode

The Veil: The Doctors TV Show
One thing I really like about this anthology series called The Veil is the authenticity I feel from it. I think that comes from it being a product of Hal Roach. The sets are very detailed and even remarkable. Even the costumes seem to fit the …
Family Guy
The television series known as Family Guy has proven itself to be one of the best cartoon series that is around today. Not taking anything away from the other cartoon series, but this one is more additive than so many others it is ridiculous. The characters of the Family …
Naruto Episode 1 Subbed
Naruto has quickly become one of the most popular anime series both in America and in Japan, although the dubbing of the series into English resulted in the show being geared towards a younger audience in America, unlike the real audience that the show was originally made for in …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Death of a Gunfighter TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Death of a Gunfighter is an odd story. Paladin rides into a New Mexico town intending to take a job for John Sebrey. Sebrey is involved in a deadly feud with Juan Carlos Morrita, who had killed several men. However, Paladin …
From the Earth to the Moon - Part 5: Spider
From the Earth to the Moon - Part 5: Spider gets my immediate attention because it begins with the theme song to Fireball XL-5. I adore that old series from the mind of Gerry Anderson. It was very dear to a very dear friend of mine, and he …
Beast Wars - Victory
Beast Wars - Victory is an episode that offers the Maximals a second chance to return to Cybertron, which was a little surprising to me since the previous episode also presented them with an opportunity to return, and now all of a sudden we have another, back to back. …
The Virginian: The Devil’s Children
When I first watched The Virginian: The Devil’s Children, I kept thinking this wicked stepchild, aka: the villainous of the piece, looked darn familiar, but I couldn’t figure it out. Then I looked up the credits and realized it was Joan Freeman, guest starring as a bratty girl …
Friends Episode: The One Where Chandler Gets Caught
Friends Episode: The One Where Chandler Gets Caught is super cool, and this is one of the best episodes ever. How can one just not do without watching Friends while going through their everyday lives..?
I know I did and I love it so much. In this episode, we …
Felix the Cat in Neptune Nonsense cartoon
Felix the Cat in Neptune Nonsense is another animated short cartoon that was produced and released in the mid thirties. These were a bit more advanced than those cartoons of Felix in the 1920’s, which was natural, of course. I don’t recall seeing these before, though while …
Remington Steele: Steele Belted TV Show
From season one in November 1982, Remington Steele: Steele Belted was fairly interesting. It began with Steele’s condo being ransacked, though Laura Holt doesn’t seem to care. It’s not until he ends up in the middle of things himself, that Holt lets Steele in on the current …

From the third season of Laramie, The Jailbreakers revolves around an ex-con who is blamed for a murder he didn’t commit. The lawman who actually did the murder, which would be considered involuntary manslaughter or less, lies and leads the hunt for Gil Martin (Charles Aidman).
What I don’t …
Heroes
NBC’s newest drama Heroes is excellent. I look forward to evey Monday night so I can watch this show. The characters are great and I love their roles. Hiro is hilarious and having Claire’s power of regeneration would be awesome. The acting is great. This show really draws you …
Tool Academy 3
For some reason I have always been attracted to watching the reality television series “Tool Academy” which has been airing from time to time on the American cable television channel VH1. Tool Academy 3 was the most recent one which has a more variety of couples this time, to …
Ghost Hunters TV Episode: French Quarter Phantoms
Synopsis: The TAPS team investigates the old US Mint in New Orleans in an effort to capture evidence of the hauntings that have been reported there.

Fireball XL5: A Day in the Life of a Space General
I just smile when I see the every day qualities that are so real in this show about the life of these space puppets. In Fireball XL5: A Day in the Life of a Space General, Lieutenant Ninety is a little overtired and ends up getting yelled at …

Brad Paisley Underwater tv special
I recently saw this cool special on Brad Paisley called Underwater. It wsn’t a concert or anything, but it was more of a behind the scenes run down of how his concerts are set up. Im not a big fan of country, but I think some of brad’s …
America’s Next Top Model Cycle 10 Episode 8
The girls had a lesson with Paulina Porizkova on how to think on their feet when they are interviewed. Models are always on the limelight about something so this is one thing that the competition should taught the girls. The next day, the girls got a visit from Courtney …
Columbo: Swan Song TV Show
Swan Song is a truly memorable episode of Columbo because it’s part musical. Well, not in the purest sense, but the main guest star is country legend, Johnny Cash. Cash plays Tommy Brown, a singer and husband of Edna Brown. Edna is played by the dynamic …
The Virginian: The Final Hour
The Virginian: The Final Hour was the last episode of the first season and personally, I think it was a poor choice of a season ender. Though the story was poignant, it was terribly downbeat. When a season ends, I want to feel excited about a show …
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Hard Rock
Bruce Campbell stars in the title role of The Adventures of Brisco County Jr., a unusual western series that is part science fiction and part comedy. Julius Carry co-stars as his sometimes partner, Lord Bowler. In this episode, Hard Rock, Brisco learns a bit more about the …
House: Teamwork
Well, once again, the show House seems to be changing the cast again. At least they managed to bring back Thirteen and, since there really wasn’t any point in her, got rid of Cameron (though I have a feeling we’ll see her again).
This wasn’t a bad episode either. You …
Legend: Revenge of the Herd
Like the prior episode, the ninth episode of this offbeat western begins with Ernest Pratt (Richard Dean Anderson) trying to come up with a good story for his latest dime novel that features his now alter ego, Nicodemus Legend. It’s all about elk, which he describes as cute.
The …

Mad Hungry with Lucina Scala Quinn: Lunch on the Go featured pressed sandwiches, something Quinn says she likes to make for on the go activities. The half hour included a lunch that went beyond the sandwiches to include grilled veggies, like gas charged red peppers and squash.
She talked …
Ghost Hunters TV Episode: Spirits in the Night
Well, another Ghost Hunters episode down and even more doubts about why I bother to watch this show in the first place.
This time around, they did investigate a private home rather than a tourist trap. That was OK. I also liked the fact they added a new investigator for …
Law and Order: CI Season 1, Episode 14
Every so often there’s an episode from the Law and Order franchise that disturbs you and makes you feel uncomfortable. For me that was this episode of Criminal Intent. The episode starts out calmly enough, with a man trying to raise money, though he doesn’t say what. He tries …
Stargate SG1: Window of Opportunity
“Window of Opportunity,” episode 6 of season 4, was probably one of the funniest Stargate SG1 episodes there was (and there were many).
This episode was tendered along the long of “Groundhog Day.” As it starts out, SG-1 is on a planet with a man who, unbeknownst …
John Doe: Remote Control TV show
John Doe: Remote Control has John (Dominic Purcell) helping Digger (William Forsythe) find out what happened to his blood brother, who supposedly died in an auto accident. There would seem to be more to it since John temporarily sees the brother in color, not to mention a Special Forces …

The Twilight Zone: Walking Distance is another episode from the first season of this great science fiction television series. It focuses on a middle-30’s businessman named Martin Sloan (Gig Young) who is a bit unhappy with his life. He decides to take a quick trip to his …
Everybody Loves Raymond
Everybody Loves Raymond stars Ray Romano, Patricia Heaton, Brad Garrett, Doris Roberts, and Peter Boyle. Though I enjoy this series, I do not see why it has won so many awards.
It is a nice inoffensive show, but definitely not cutting edge humor. I firmly …
Oprah TV Show
I think Oprah Winfrey as a person is awesome. And I used to love watching Oprah TV Show pretty much, but lately I simply have lost interest. I don’t know; I feel very happy that someone as Oprah is very kind-hearted enough to feature lots of great and …
