Ashes to Ashes
If you watched Life on Mars last year then you will surely be watching this and it is proving to be just as enjoyable.
Similar to Life on Mars a cop is injured and wakes up in the past and the main characters they meet are the same. These characters …
Naruto Episode 8 Subbed
This episode starts by replaying the last episode shrunk down to a couple of minutes, which was a disappointing way to begin in my opinion because there was nothing worthwhile about the last episode, and then the fight continues. This time at least the fight is a little better …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Michael Landon (#1) TV Show
Michael Landon had the honor of being roasted as the Man of the Hour in this mid-seventie edition of The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast. He also was honored again during the last season of roasts, making him one of only four performers to receive tribute twice with the …
Bones television show
The television show Bones has a new take on crime drama.
At first I wasn’t too interested in the show. I had thought there were already many crime drama series around and Bones was just another one. Also the premise of discovering who committed a crime by examining …
Fireball XL5: Space City Special
Fireball XL5: Space City Special is a wonderful, terrific, and very special episode of this puppet TV series. I believe it was probably the season ender, or shown at a break because it aired in June and then there is a break until the next episode aired in …
X-Files season one “Space” tv episode
The X-Files is a well known television show that aired in the 1990s on Fox network. It chronicled the adventures of two FBI agents, Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. These two agents were assigned to the so-called “X-Files.” These were cases where paranormal or otherwise unknown …
Weeds
Now there hasn’t been much to say on the positive front regarding comedy on television within the past couple of years. Shows like Friends, Will and Grace, and That 70s Show, upon their end, left a trail of not so great, mediocre comedy’s in their wake. We even saw …
Stargate SG1: The Torment Of Tantalus
Katherine Langford, the woman who recruited Daniel Jackson for the Stargate program, is re-introduced in this episode. No, she is not played by the same woman but an equally talented one.
Daniel is given lots of boxes regarding the Stargate Program back in 1945. While most people would …
Private Eye: Barrio Nights
Private Eye: Barrio Nights, which aired originally on November 6, 1987 was a typical show about the barrio section of Los Angeles. I wish I could say there was something new or exciting about the episode, but I can’t. It’s a plot seen and used many times, …

Bones : The Doctor in the Den
Synopsis: Human remains found half eaten by a tiger belong to Cam’s former fiancé and Brennan and Booth need to find out who murdered him.
What I liked about this episode: It was good seeing someone other than Brennan investigating a case; though I’m not a huge fan of Cam. …
Wagon Train: The Eli Bancroft Story
The Eli Bancroft Story of Wagon Train is definitely a favorite. Not only is a good show, it’s a show I remembered throughout the decades. There are a few episodes of Wagon Train that I never forgot, even though I was just a little girl when they …
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 …
Doctor Who: Season 4, Episode 1: Voyage of the Damned
This Christmas special picks up right where “Last of the Time Lords” (or Time Crash if you count that short special”) left off, with the now companionless Doctor crashing into the Titanic. Well, it’s not THE Titanic, but a tourist space cruiser that just happens to resemble the …
ABC Wipeout tv game show
Wipeout is not a show that jumped out at me by just seeing the commercials. In fact, the only reason I began watching this show is because I randomly stopped on it while channel surfing.
Wipeout is a reality game show that puts contestants through four rounds of obstacle …
Greek: Season 1
When I first saw this new ABC Family television show advertising, I did not think I would enjoy it. I thought it would only be yet another silly and immature teenage television series which I at the time had no cares about like “Dawson’s Creek”, “Laguna Beach” and “Lincoln …
Americas got talent
This is a television show that comes on. I have only seen it a couple of times. I don’t even think that I have seen a whole episode of the show. It’s a show where people go in front of the judges and an audience and show there talent. …
CHiPs: Hitch-Hiking Hitch
From the title of Hitch-Hiking Hitch, you can tell that this outing of the police drama CHiPs deals with hitchhikers; this time, of the teenage variety. Katherine Cannon guest stars as Mary Kate, the older sister of one of the girls who becomes friendly with Ponch after the …
Family Guy TV Show
I’ve watched a fair amount of this cartoon show. I remember the early days of the show, and I remember how funny I thought it was. It’s still funny in my opinion, but I’m not as intrigued with it as I used to be.
I think a big part …
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Senior Spirit
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Senior Spirit is awesome episode and is perhaps the best show to air since the pilot. In this show, Brisco is surprised when Socrates shows him a piece of the orb that had been with his father’s affects. There’s actually a …
Adam-12: Log 16: A Child in Danger
What I like about Adam-12: Log 16: A Child in Danger is the cute little banter that occurs throughout the episode about Jim Reed’s baby boy. Little Jimmy has a fever, and his godfather, Pete Malloy, is overly worried. He keeps trying to get Reed to get …
Prison Break Season 4 Episode 1- Scylla
Prison Break Season 4 Episode 1- Scylla
The new season of Prison Break begins with this episode. This time, the members of the team, or whoever is left of it, are on their way to take down the company. Unlike the previous seasons, this one does not start with …
Gilligan’s Island -The Secret of Gilligan’s Island TV Show
I admit I always feel a bit like an archeologist watching this episode. The excitement of finding rare literature carved painfully into a piece of stone always intrigues me. What message could be so important to carve it into set stone to last thousands of years? And this episode …
My Generation: Home Movies TV Show
My Generation: Home Movies is the second outing for this new drama which follows 9 high school graduates, ten years later. It’s a ‘where are they now’ pseudo documentary drama, which is somewhat unique in concept. I suppose it’s a way of trying to capitalize on the …
Fullmetal Alchemist TV show
This may seem like your standard action genre anime show, but it has a surprising depth. Edward Elric is an alchemist prodigy who paid the price for trying to bring his dead mother back to life. He lost an arm and a leg, and his brother lost …

What I liked about this episode: The US Mint is a pretty big place and I’m glad the team took the time to spend …
Wife Swap
ABC presents Wife Swap on Monday nights usaully at nine o’clock. I am addicted. I admit it. Its a good show that requires two wives from differing states and homes to switch places. The idea is that both families will walk away appreciating their mom/wife …
Designing the Final Frontier featurette
This production piece called Designing the Final Frontier was another very intriguing look inside the world of Star Trek. It focused on the design elements, of course. Matt Jeffries is interviewed in late 2002. A few things stuck out in my mind.
One was the naming of …
Faerie Tale Theater: Goldilocks and the Three Bears
My daughter ended up watching another episode of the 1980s show Faerie Tale Theater this past weekend; Goldilocks and the Three Bears. And, much like other episodes of the show, this one proved to be pretty entertaining for pretty much everyone in our family.
They kept the same basic plot …
Fresh Prince TV Show
This television show is a comedy from the early 90s featuring will smith. I really loved watching this show back in the day, and now I watch it on nick at night. The show was one of the first that featured a black family on television. I just to …

The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Jack Klugman TV Show
Again from the MGM Hotel in Las Vegas, The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast honored another celebrity, that being Jack Klugman who starred in The Odd Couple and later Quincy M.E.
Overall, I was disappointed with this outing for the roast show. I didn’t feel like there was much of …
Birds of Prey TV show episode 1: Pilot
I had been aware of this attempt at a live action adaptation of the lesser known comic that centers around a team of all female superheroes. I finally decided that it was time to finally check it out. Considering that the show only lasted a season, my …
Spongebob Squarepants TV Episode: Squid on Strike
Synopsis: After Mr. Krabs begins charging Spongebob and Squidward for “goofing off,” Squidward convinces his co-worker to join him and go on strike. The only problem is their efforts end up backfiring.
What I liked about this episode: Maybe it’s just timing but, with all the labor movement stuff going …
Sea Hunt: Sonar Queen TV Show
From 1958, Sea Hunt: Sonar Queen is a neat little episode that I enjoyed. It showed the audience something new for its day, and I tend to like information shows. Essentially, Mike Nelson the well known skin diver is hired to test what is actually a type …

All in the Family The Complete Fifth Season
The fifth season of All in the Family represents a slight shift in the way stories are told: some of the season consists of multi-part stories as opposed to single, standalone stories. Now the later seasons, particularly season eight, will be made up of even more two and three …
The Glenn Beck Program
Fox News gets a lot of flak nowadays. Oh, I know it’s biased, but people react as if the idea of a biased news source is something new. Furthering the irony is the fact that the people who complain about Fox the loudest are the ones who …
Jeremiah: A Means to an End
Markus Alexander (Peter Stebbings) has come a long way in this first season of Jeremiah. From being happy in his seclusion at Thunder Mountain to this episode, A Means to an End, when he’s finally open to bringing in others from the outside to try and secure a …
Sea Hunt: Point of No Return TV Show
Sea Hunt: Point of No Return , the opening show of the series’ fourth and final TV season which aired in January 1961, was a bit different. That was mostly a good thing. However, it was also a little confusing in a couple of spots.
The reason the …
Biggest Loser show
The show started out with the contestants getting a make-over and then appearing live on the Tyra Banks show. This show must not have aired yet, otherwise everyone would already know who the final five contestants were. Therefore, I was confused by the whole “live” thing. …
Jamaica Cable Vision Cable Company

Highway Patrol: Narcotics TV Show
This review will cover the episode called Narcotics, from the police drama, Highway Patrol. It was the 36th outing of the second season. If only they made that many shows today. Back in the day, seasons were long.
First of all, it was really neat to have …
Columbo: Make Me a Perfect Murder TV Show
Columbo: Make Me a Perfect Murder is a memorable outing for the famous detective mainly because of the superb cold and calculating performance of Trish Van Devere. She’s actually the traditional lady scorned, both personally and professionally, and she is out to get her revenge.
Van Devere portrays Kay …
