That Girl: Anatomy of a Blunder
One of the changes from the original pilot and the actual show is that the Maries had already met Don Hollinger, Ann Marie’s boyfriend, in that first show. In this show, Anatomy of a Blunder, Ann and Donald are going to Brewster, New York for him to …
Hawaii Five-O: Face of the Dragon
Hawaii Five-O: Face of the Dragon is part medical drama and part spy caper. Combined, Hawaii Five-O: Face of the Dragon just doesn’t do a whole lot for me. I never have liked the opening scene. It sets up the drama naturally enough, but it’s just …
The Virginian: Dark Destiny TV show
Season two was winding down for The Virginian when the episode Dark Destiny aired. One interesting thing that I’ve noticed about these second season episodes. Once Randy Boone joined the cast, I like them better. I noted in many of my first season reviews that I …
Stargate SG-1: Nightwalkers
Stargate SG-1: Nightwalkers is just horrid. It takes SG-1 into the realm of B-movies, only it’s a B-TV series instead. With Richard Dean Anderson off on vacation for a week, Sam, Teal’c, and the ever-smiling-to-the-point-of-nausea Jonas Quinn head off to a quaint little Oregon town with a deep, …
Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn Rustic Italian Recipes TV Show
Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn Rustic Italian Recipes began with the approachable cook talking about gay pesto, as in fun food and good pesto and pasta to eat. I so often learn from Quinn, and that continues to fascinate me. This first segment was focused on …
The Twilight Zone: Living Doll TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Living Doll is yet another one of those shows that make me shudder from the start. I’m not interested, I don’t like it, and I hate watching it. It was a nightmare sitting through it even one more time before doing this review.
Living Doll …
Fireball XL5: Invasion Earth
One of the notable things about Fireball XL5: Invasion Earth is that we actually hear an alien language being spoken. Most of the time the aliens have been speaking English. Of course, that’s standard practice for science fiction series, but that is precisely why it sticks out …
Boston Legal Season 1 Episode 5
Alan Shore and Tara Wilson were both caught for violating an arrest. They were brought before the judge but it was summarily dismissed with harsh remarks that they both gave bad impression to the legal profession.
Lori Colson took a court-appointed case about a boy accused of killing somebody when …
Randy Jacksons Americas Best Dance Crew
I am not very interested in dancing competitions, and so the first time that I saw the show “America’s Best Dance Crew” advertising on a certain cable television channel I ignored it, and had no interest in viewing it. However, it was only after I lost the cable television …
Family Guy: I Dream of Jesus
Last night one of our local channels aired a re-run of a Family Guy episode that is one of my daughter’s favorites (yes, I know I shouldn’t be letting her watch it but, if she doesn’t learn about this stuff from Family Guy, where will she learn about it?); …
Doctor Who Special 3: The End of Time Part 1
So we come to the first of the two part finale that marks the end of David Tennant’s run as the Doctor. It aims big, I’ll give it that, but I can’t help but feel like it fell flat a little.
The episode picks up on the prophecy that …
True Blood 3.02 “Beautifully Broken”
The second episode of True Blood’s third season delivers on almost all the promises of the premiere, and is definitely worth watching —“ especially since the action, rather than unravelling slowly, as most series would have it in their second episode, starts off at a break-neck pace, with barely …
NCIS: Untouchable Season 3, Episode 20
When NCIS goes looking for a mole in the Pentagon, they find a dead Lieutenant instead. All fingers point to the dead Lieutenant and her suicide, however, NCIS is not convinced it was a suicide.
This was a very interesting case and one that I could not figure out. …
Quincy M.E.: Who’s Who in Neverland TV Show
Quincy M.E.: Who’s Who in Neverland is the second episode of this medical and crime drama which starred Jack Klugman as the chief medical examiner. In other words, he’s the head coroner and in diagnosing the cause of death, he always ends up in the middle of murder …
Death of an Expert Witness - Part 4
I was very pleased that Death of an Expert Witness - Part 4 was much better than Part 3. The pace was better and the scenes more intriguing.
One of the neat things about this P.D. James television adaptation is that we get to hear the recently promoted Chief …
The Laramie Project, an HBO production
The film version of this extraordinary play was done with expertise, appropriate care and brilliant acting. I don’t think it could have been done better. The cast is superb, including the likes of Steve Buscemi, Laura Linney, Christina Ricci and others. They bring their A-game to …
Warren Sapp on Dancing With the Stars
I love this guy ! I love watching him dance. He is so light on his feet and he uses the steps to his best advantage. I can’t believe such a bigger guy can move so lightly on his feet and look so good doing it ! He is …
My Life As Liz
“My Life As Liz” is a new reality show that just premiered on MTV a couple of weeks ago. Of all the reality shows I’ve seen, this one, by far, is in a whole other stratosphere. ” My Life As Liz” is a show that a lot of past …
Junior Apprentice Episode 5 TV Show
Junior Apprentice Episode 5 had some added fun in it when the Instinct and Revolution teams were awakened and told they would be flying to Amsterdam in the Netherlands for the new challenge. These teams are made up of 16 and 17 year old kids who all think …
Due South: Hawk and Handsaw
Due South: Hawk and Handsaw from season one of this somewhat unique drama has Royal Canadian Mountie Benton Fraser (Paul Gross) pretending to be insane and entering a mental institution where he suspects things aren’t right. It has some nice moments, like when Fraser talks about when his …
High School Musical 3 ( Senior Year )
I was amazed with the first High School musical when I saw it on the disney channel. I grooved with the song “We’re all in this together”. There I was interested. I was also entertained with Ashley Tisdale’s snob attitude. Her bitchy styles was totally hilarious. So, when the …
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Ned Zed
This is a cute idea and a neat way to tell a story that wouldn’t work with the current storyline. It’s like someone had an idea for the Brisco character, but wanted it set in an earlier timeline of the series. To make that work, they added …
Mythbusters: Duct Tape Hour 2 TV Show
Duct Tape Hour 2 aka: a Buster’s Cut episode of Mythbusters was terrific to watch. I still love the first hour, which came from curiosity of which MacGyver tricks might actually have worked, was a load of fun. They built a boat and lifted up a car …
Law & Order SVU: Babes
Yeah, once again a Law & Order show decides to take some story from the newspapers and turn it into a show. The Law & Order SVU episode “Babes” takes the stories of a possible teenaged pregnancy pact and turns it into a story of rape and murder.
The idea …
Fullmetal Alchemist: brotherhood Episode 64 (Anime)
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 64 is the last and final episode of the anime. The story comes to a close as Roy Mustang is visited by Dr. Knox and Dr. Marcoh. Meanwhile, Ed and Al return to Risembol to Winry’s house.

Pokemon (TV Show) - The Waterflowers of Cerulean City (Episode)
“The Waterflowers of Cerulean City” is an episode of the “Pokemon” series that features Ash’s second gym battle as well as Misty’s three sisters. Unlike “Showdown in Pewter City,” the episode that introduced Brock and his backstory. This episode doesn’t do much to expand upon Misty’s back story. Misty’s …
Monk
Tony Shaloub plays the character of a detective who has all kinds of phobias in the television series entitled Monk. He suffered a breakdown when her wife dies from a bomb blast meant for Adrian Monk. I had a hard time with this plot a first because the show …
Wagon Train: The Kate Crawley Story
Barbara Stanwyck returns for the second time in season seven in Wagon Train: The Kate Crawley Story. The story revolves around her and wagonmaster Chris Hale’s romance, something that was hinted at in the season opener, The Molly Kincaid Story.
Stanwyck is a superb actress, and she pulls off …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Here There Be Tygers TV Show
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Here There Be Tygers is a tale of exploration as astronauts land on a new world. We actually learn the meaning of the title very early on, and it is perhaps a hint of what the story that follows will be like.
The series aired …
Ghost Hunters: Fort Ticonderoga
Well, last week’s episode of Ghost Hunters at The Rock wasn’t bad. But, this week’s episode, at Fort Ticonderoga was actually a bit of a disappointment for me.
Here they have this giant fort that has a bunch of claims coming from it and the best evidence they can catch …

Judicial Indiscretion movie
Judicial Indiscretion is a very nice suspenseful made-for-TV movie that I enjoy watching quite a bit. It was made for the Lifetime channel. The movie opens innocently enough with Judge Monica Barrett being told by a friend that her name as been thrown in the hat as …

FreeCreditReport.com (television spot)
These commercials are soooo funny. I like the one where the three guys are at a hot party. At first, because you see the first one wearing a white shirt and black tie, you think that he is just a guest. But by the time …
Destination Truth TV Episode: Spirits of Easter Island
Well, last night was the season finale of Destination Truth; Spirits of Easter Island. And, upon reflecting on it a bit, I have to say it was actually a bit of a disappointment for me.
Seeing Easter Island and all those giant heads was pretty cool. But, the investigation really …
Ghost Hunters Academy: The Honeymoon is Over
Well, episode 2 of Ghost Hunters Academy did at least have the “students” doing more than the first episode, as they explored a haunted battleship. But, it also revealed that these participants aren’t very good at working as a team.
Basically, you have one who claims to be a medium …
Diagnosis Murder: The 13 Million Dollar Man TV Show
The music that opened up the fifth episode of Diagnosis Murder, an episode called The 13 Million Dollar Man was very entertaining. It actually made me laugh in that it was an upbeat coy number, very playful in a mysterious sort of way. It was cool. …
MacGyver: Good Knight MacGyver Part 2
MacGyver: Good Knight MacGyver Part 2 picks up where part one ends. Back in the time of King Arthur, Mac sets up with Merlin to find the evil Morgana and try to clear his family name, which was disgraced. They also hope to rescue the fair Cecilia …
Adam-12: Log 75: Have a Nice Weekend
For me, there isn’t anything terribly exciting about this episode of Adam-12 entitled Log 75: Have a Nice Weekend. The segment I key in on more than the others is one with Norma Connolly as Eva Foster. I met the late Ms. Connolly a few times, and …
Rome - HBO Series
I mentioned before that it feels like I’m out of good TV Shows to watch. Maybe it’s because it’s summer or because all the series I like came to their closing episode (see Lost). This means I’ve been looking for other stuff to watch and what I’m doing is …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Three - Krab Borg
One day when Spongebob was at home he decided to watch some television, and end up watching a scary show about robots. Now he thinks that everyone around him, even his pet snail Gary, is a robot. He goes into work the next day and convinces his co-worker and …
That Metal show on vh1 classic

Marcel’s Quantum Kitchen
Synopsis: This SyFy Channel show has Chef Marcel attempting to make meals for weddings, etc. using some unique scientific methods and experiments while in his kitchen.
What I liked about this show: I have to admit, the tools he uses along with some of the techniques are pretty cool. In …
Renegade (tv series)
Recently when I was on the road, the television show “Renegade” came to my mind. I can remember that the show used to be a popular television show in the nineteen nineties that had originated in America, and after watching some of the episodes online to refresh my memory …
Big Brother: Power of Veto August 4, 2010 TV Show
Big Brother’s August 4, 2010 episode was one that focused on the power of veto meeting. Normally, this show is on Tuesday nights but for some reason, it was shown on Wednesday of this week.
Watching Big Brother is a bit like walking through a mine field. There’s …
