White Collar: Threads
Well, this second episode of White Collar wasn’t too bad considering I had a few doubts after the pilot episode.
At least, in this case, which involved New York Fashion week, he actually proved why he was, at one point, a criminal mastermind and used his intelligence to help trap …
Stargate SG1: Absolute Power
This episode of Stargate SG1 came in the fourth season and further continued into the Daniel/Sha’re/Apophis triangle.
Daniel is called to Abydos by Sha’re’s father, Kasuf. He has seen a tornado in the desert and swears that he heard someone calling his late daughter’s name. As …
The Office: Launch Party
Another of the extended episodes of The Office, Launch party continues the story of Ryan’s implementations of the new website, but it isn’t one of the better episodes feeling as if they stretched out a normal episode into an hour.
Most of the stuff that Michal does is repetitive and …
Trollz
My daughter wanted to watch something different last night and, after some searching on-line, I came across the show Trollz.
I remember the Trollz dolls when I was still in school. I didn’t buy them but I remember them being very popular among the girls in my class. And, I’m …
Psych: Lassie Did a Bad Bad Thing
I enjoyed Phych from its first episode but I always feared that it would become stale. Many of the jokes were funny once but even by the third or fourth episode I was over them. That is why I am so happy that the show has continued to improve.
Much …
The X-Files: Audrey Pauley
The lacklustre final season delivers a pretty decent episode with this, for the most part a Reyes centric tale that offers up an original enough idea and some solid character development for both Reyes and Doggett.
After a pleasant evening with Doggett, Reyes begins her drive home but is …
Sea Hunt: Rescue TV Show
Sea Hunt isn’t a show I watched growing up, and I’ve never really been interested it, but lately I’ve started to give it more attention since it’s airing on television. It seems the first season which I’ve been watching was different from the fourth season and had a different …
To Boldly Go … Season Three featurette
The To Boldly Go … Season Three featurette continues the goal of giving fans a lot of insight and stories about the episodes that appeared in that season. There was, however, a bunch of conversation about the campaign that saved Star Trek from being canceled after two seasons. …
Worried About the Boy BBC Drama
I was looking forward to seeing the one-off drama ‘Worried About the Boy’ and I think it was one of the best things on television lately. It re-enacts the story of how Boy George, of Culture Club fame, rose to fame back in the early 1980s but I …
M*A*S*H: None Like It Hot
M*A*S*H: None Like It Hot deals with the latest heat wave to hit the 4077th as the Korean War rages on. It seems odd that this show precedes one that talks about a wind storm. Korea must have a lot of quick changing weather.
The thrust of None …
I Love Lucy (TV series) - The Audition (Episode)
“The Audition” is an episode of “I Love Lucy”. I learned that this episode was a remake of the originally unaired pilot episode and after having seen the pilot episode for “I Love Lucy”, I can see how similar the two episodes are. The guest star that appears in …
Psychic Detectives
If you do not believe in psychic powers before watching Psychic Detectives, you will after. Even experienced and hardened detectives, who have solved some pretty tough cases, become believers after they get the help from a psychic. When a psychic goes to the scene of a crime, they can …
Home Improvement
With the lack of funny shows on television, I sometimes have to go back a few years in time and rely heavily on re-runs of shows from the 80s and 90s.
One of the shows that is on in syndication and never gets old is Home Improvement.
Tim Allen hasn�t had …
Bizare Foods with Andrew Zimmern (Series on the Travel Channel)
The travel channel show, Bizarre Foods with Andre Zimmern, is too great a show to break down into merely one episode. Besides, Andrew Zimmern does the exact same thing in every episode just in different places all over the world. I would have thought that that would be boring …
Little Bill Cartoon on Noggin
There is a cartoon that is on Noggin which has only been on for about 3 months now. It is called Little Bill, and is a cartoon created by Bill Cosby. This show is geared towards a much younger age range than Cosby’s other cartoon he was affiliated with, …
That Girl: Pass the Potatoes, Ethel Merman
Season two of That Girl begins with one of my favorite episodes for the entire series. It’s called Pass the Potatoes, Ethel Merman and obviously guest stars the wonderful Ethel Merman.
First, though, it’s appropriate to mention the new opening for the show. It’s actually much more sophisticated …
Baywatch
Baywatch was a cool show in it’s time and I loved to watch it. I think Baywatch does not get the credit it deserves as all it is really known for is pretty girls running on the beach and when the show first came out it was a …
MTV’s From G’s to Gents
MTV has a brand new reality program called ‘From G’s to Gents, where they have taken the regular thub from the corner and thrown him in a reality tv setting hoping to transform these thugs into real high society gentlemen.
The recreation process is being overseen by P. Diddy’s former …
Psych: Speak Now or Forever hold your Piece
My all-day Psych marathon today resulted in me seeing an episode I haven’t seen before (and I thought I saw every episode of this show so far); Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Piece.
This was a great episode too. Shawn and Gus end up being invited to a fancy …
The Twilight Zone: The Gift TV Show
I’m not sure exactly why, but The Twilight Zone: The Gift has never been a favorite episode, even though the ending is pretty much up my alley when it comes to science fiction. I think in part it’s the cultural thing because the story takes place entirely …
Big Train - Series One
Written by the minds behind Father Ted and the IT Crowd, this strange sketch show that first debuted in the late 90s might at first be a difficult one to get into.
Essentially, here we have a sketch show with a difference. The main difference being, the punch line …
Fireball XL5: Mystery of the TA2
That lovely doctor of space medicine Venus gets to co-pilot in Fireball XL5: Mystery of the TA2. The TA2 was an early ship from decades ago. When part of the wreck is discovered, Colonel Steve Zodiace and his XL5 crew go in search of the TA2’s captain, …
CSI:NY pilot episode Blink
Every pilot episode of a tv show should do three things: introduce the characters and the plot, set the tone for the series, and draw the viewer’s attention.
‘Blink’ achieves all three easily. The plot is, of course, similar to all the other procedurals out there, and as a part …
Models of the Runway: Chic Clique
As I predicted with last week’s Models of the Runway episode, the show is starting to get a bit on the predictable side. Once a designer is eliminated, it is pretty much a given his model will be too since the designers always seem to stick with their models; …
Legend: Skeletons in the Closet
Legend: Skeletons in the Closet is a sort of odd ending to the entire Legend series, which only survived for these twelve episodes. In my opinion, the show never really found itself. Some shows focused so much on Nicodemus Legend persona being an unwilling hero, but heroic …
Charmed Episode 1: Something Wicca This way comes
I am really a big Charmed fan. It is among the TV shows which runs for quite a number of years. And it is the only TV show which I’ve always watched and never missed any episode, not a single one. In the first few seasons, Shannon Doherty played …
CSI Season 6 Episode 3 Bite Me
Although this episode did not involve any super dramatic events or incredible mysteries; the way it was shot made it really amazing. I think the most amazing aspect of it, was the way they filmed it. The camera and editing style have managed to deliver a real sense of, …
Sea Hunt: The Living Fossil TV Show
Sea Hunt’s 15th episode of its third season on the air was called The Living Fossil. Airing back in April 1960, this episode was a little unique in that it focused on deep sea diver Mike Nelson (aptly portrayed by Lloyd Nelson) working with others on a special …
Stargate SG-1: Collateral Damage
Stargate SG-1: Collateral Damage is another of the season nine shows that I tolerate Ben Browder’s Cameron Mitchell character a bid more than in other shows. It’s probably for the same reason as the last time — he’s somewhat away from the team and able to be himself …
The Simpsons: Mypods and Boomsticks
Well, another Simpsons episode and another one that indirectly teaches the importance of tolerance when it comes to other cultures and religions.
Mypods and Boomsticks was a great episode because it teaches the danger of stereotyping muslim people into the terrorist category. Bart befriends a boy from Jordan and, because …
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 …
Nip Tuck Episode: Pilot
My wife and I have been getting a bit bored with some of the shows we normally watch; at least now that we have seen pretty much every older episode. So, for our nightly time alone together, we decided to take a chance and watch something a bit different …
Desperate Housewives After the Tornado
Here is a review on the TV drama, Desperate Housewives After the Tornado. How do you get back on track after almost the whole neighborhood has been destroyed by a disaster such as the Tornado? And the episode after the Tornado on Desperate Housewives should be watched. …
MacGyver: Ghost Ship
From season three of MacGyver, we get an episode called Ghost Ship that is so fun to watch. The Phoenix Foundation is part of a project that will survey the environment in a wilderness area in Alaska. The survey will help them environmentally to save the land. …
Monster Episode 18 (Anime)
Monster Episode 18 has Anna Libert being questioned by police and they ask her if she knows anything about Dr. Tenma, she says she doesn’t and leaves. She sees her former boss Mister Rosso and they have dinner together, where she learns the truth about his past.
This was …
$40 a Day with Rachel Ray
The Food Network is one of my favorite channels and when you combine food with travel, it is a double whammy of entertainment. In $40 a Day, Rachel Ray takes us around the world to some of the hottest tourist spots - the Florida Keys, LA, Miami, Paris, Rome, …
Arrested Development TV Show
I really like the television show arrested development. The show is now in its 3rd season and each season has been absolutly hilarious. the story of the show is that a father gets sent to prison, and his son is trying to take care of his family while his …
Undercover Boss - UK: Best Western TV Show
David Clark, CEO of Best Western Hotels in the United Kingdom, goes undercover in this first episode of Undercover Boss’ second season. I actually wasn’t aware that this show was airing in the UK. We in America had its first season of the series as well. …
Crime 360 show
I myself love the little mystery shows. I really don’t know why or how, but they grab & keep my attention. But one show that keeps me interested in it is Crime 360; this show is so educational, & so amazing. I never knew about what …
Stargate SG-1: Menace
As season five of Stargate SG-1 winds down, it offers up what is actually a very good episode in Menace, except for a couple of mitigating factors and one really big episode omission.
Michael Shanks who played Daniel Jackson had decided to leave the show due to a number of …
The Twilight Zone: Number 12 Looks Just Like You TV Show
In my opinion, The Twilight Zone: Number 12 Looks Just Like You is one of the few bright spots in this final season of Rod Serling’s classic science fiction series. It’s sad that so many shows from this fifth year are duds. This one, however, is not. …
M*A*S*H: Life Time
Alan Alda co-wrote this episode with a physician and then directed it as well. The show is M*A*S*H: Life Time and as the show progresses, a clock is on the screen the entire time. It’s somewhat of a ‘real time’ story, and that’s the unique angle of …
American Idol
It seems like only yesterday when Kelly Clarkson stood under a rainstorm of confetti and was named the American Idol… Now we are already on Season 8 and this mega-popular reality show shows no signs of stopping. With a new series of planned trading cards, it looks like it …
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Blood Moon TV Show
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Blood Moon really should be the Halloween episode, and maybe it is. Either way, it is not an hour of fun for me. I am not into vampires, werewolves, and decapitations, all of which were vital parts of this show.
The teaser scene is …
Two And A Half Men
Charlie Sheen and John Cryer are Charlie and Alan Harper. Two brothers more or less sharing a house on the beach. Actually Charlie owns the house and Alan is just there because he had a choice a roof or the street in order to pay his ex-wife alimony and …
Jack Frost cartoon
Jack Frost was another vintage cartoon that I saw recently. Unfortunately, I wasn’t quite as enamored with it as I thought I might have been. I love all kinds of holiday films, and it wasn’t that the story wasn’t good as that it wasn’t as complete as …
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 …
Law and Order: SVU
OK, two questions. First of all, I thought Law & Order SVU was supposed to be about sex crimes and, secondly, is this the month we feature each of Stabler’s kids?
The episode “Lunacy” was actually one of the worst episodes of this series I’ve seen. OK, you have a …
Mr. Monk and the Leper
I am a huge fan of the television series Monk. However, Friday’s episode, Mr. Monk and the Leper was a bit of a disappointment.
While the show still kept most of it’s trademark comedy, the episode seemed to lack a lot of the mystery that has kept it a top …
