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 …
Rozerem (TV ad)
While watching television, I happened upon a commercial where a man is seated at his kitchen table with Abraham Lincoln, and what looks to be a groundhog, but is actually a beaver. In the rear, facing the sink (presumably washing dishes) is what looks like an astronaut. …
Medium: The Match Game TV Show
Medium: The Match Game stars Patricia Arquette as the psychic Allison Dubois. She sees symbols on people’s foreheads and if they match, they are soulmates. She’s also working on finding a serial killer at a park.
Jake Weber portrays Allison’s husband, Joe Dubois. He deals with harassment …

This episode really shows off the characters and the different personalities of all of the Friends characters. It features Ross, who recently broke up with his wife, found out that his wife is pregnant with his child. He is frustrated on how the situation was going because he just …
Futurama TV Episode: My Three Suns
Hmm—¦I was on a roll there and finding episodes I loved of the series Futurama. But, so far, there have been a couple episodes that just haven’t lived up to expectations. One of these was the one entitled “My Three Suns.”
The episode did start out OK. Fry wants to …
Highway Patrol: Convict’s Wife TV Show
From season two, Highway Patrol: Convict’s Wife revolves around a man who escapes from capture and heads for his wife, from whom he’s separated. She wants to believe the best about him, but she’s essentially going her own way.
Anne Carroll played the wife, Betty Brandon, but I wasn’t …
The Twilight Zone: I Shot an Arrow into the Air TV Show
From season one, The Twilight Zone: I Shot an Arrow into the Air is a decent show, but perhaps it is the ironic and tragic fate of the story’s characters that puts me off. It’s not really one that has a happy ending, and I’m not into melancholy at …
Stargate SG-1: Reckoning Part 2
Stargate SG-1: Reckoning Part 2 concludes the show begun the week before though it doesn’t answer a major question about the Daniel Jackson character.
The best parts of the show are the scenes with Daniel and Replicator Sam. They are cunningly written and well portrayed. The scenes …
TV Show: Late Show with David Letterman
Synopsis: Late night talk show starring comedian David Letterman as the host; mixing comedy with musical performances and interviews with special guests.
What I liked about this show: I used to watch this show religiously when I was younger but haven’t watched it in a long time. In fact, the …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Jinx TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: The Jinx, from January 1962 which was part of this comedy show’s second season on the air, was a solid half hour of entertainment, though to be honest, it’s not one I really like all that much. I’ve watched it numerous times. I …
The Twilight Zone: Sounds and Silences TV Show
For me, The Twilight Zone: Sounds and Silences is simply a grating and annoying experience, much like the main character the story surrounds. John McGiver does a nice job as Roswell G. Flemington, a man who loves noise and doesn’t care that he’s perceived as being obnoxious by …
Fringe : Bound
It’s hard for me to decide if I like “Fringe” or not. On one hand I enjoy parts of the show. I’m a big science fiction fan and this reminds me more of the “X-files” than anything that has been on since. I’m certainly not the first person to compare …
Stargate SG1: Rite Of Passage Season 5, Episode 6
This episode revolved around Cassandra, or Cassie, the young girl that Dr. Frasier adopted and the only survivor of P8X-987 from four years ago. On her 16th birthday, Cassie collapses due to what Janet thinks is a retrovirus from her planet.
Daniel finds a video of SG-7’s time on …
John Adams: Reunion TV Show
Part four of John Adams, the HBO 2008 mini-series, is called Reunion. Following the end of the war, John Adams is back home once again, although not for long. This time, John eventually sends for Abigail to join him in Paris.
The scene where Abigail arrives is prolonged. …
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 17 (Anime)
Ghost in the Shell Episode 17 has Aramaki goes to visit an old friend and they are taken hostage by men trying to steal wine.
This episode was pretty good, as far as the filler episodes go. It’s not that the filler episodes are bad; it’s just that they’re …
Three’s Company show
I used to love to watch Three’s Company every day after school when I was little. I can remember getting in trouble for having the television on when I was supposed to be doing my homework. That’s how much I loved to watch the show. I was so sad when …
The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 9: Firewalker
This episode is set up very much like “Ice” and “Darkness Falls”. Normally, this would be a good thing. Those were both very good episodes, and I even said that those were prime examples of how to do a one and done monster of the week episode. …
Dan Abrahms
There is one news reporter who really has moved on up and rightly so. This is Dan Abrahms. At one time he was on Court TV. Many times he appears on news on NBC channel 4. However his greatest show is on MSNBC called The …
The Simpsons: Apocalypse Cow
Yet another Simpsons episode I haven’t seen before; where have I been. If I had known about the episode “Apocalypse Cow” I wouldn’t have been so quick to write off the later seasons of the show.
This one was actually quite interesting. You have a bored Bart joining the 4-H …
Fear Factor
The show fear factor has been around for a couple of years and has been going strong. Their idea was wonderful and they test your mental, physical capabilities to its full extent. I have to say they also challenge your mind so much as to how much you can …
Supernatural Season 2
Supernatural season 2 wasn’t nearly as good as the first season and it also wasn’t quite as good as some episodes in the third season, but it was still pretty good. The first season ended on a cliffhanger and the first episode picks up right where that one ended. …
Tabatha’s Salon Takeover
Last year, a blonde with a wicked attitude by the name of Tabatha Coffey was one of the contestants on the BRAVO reality series, “Shear Genius”. I couldn’t stand her. She was very brazen and highly critical, and I didn’t agree with much of her assessments about …
The Steve Harvey Show (syndicated TV show)
For the six seasons that this show was on the air, I actually enjoyed most of it. In watching the reruns, I can actually see how very corny this program was (and still is.) First of all, Steve Harvey’s brand of comedy was pretty funny in the …
MacGyver: Dalton, Jack of Spies
Oh how I wish MacGyver: Dalton, Jack of Spies had just never been done. When we last saw Jack Dalton, he was flying away to his heroic death. Mac had that warm look of friendship on his face as he watched. Now, though, Jack is back, …
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 51 (Anime)
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 51 begins with Ed arriving in the room where Al and Riza fought Lust and they are attacked by an army of mannequins fused with Philosopher’s Stones. Meanwhile, Al has to fight both Pride and Kimblee who has come to release Pride from …

This is the third outing of The Choir, the show in which a classically trained musician, Gareth Malone, has taken average students from an England school called Northolt and developed a choir out of them. This show begins at the start of the summer term, just after the …
The Commish: Rising Sun TV Show
I was very happy to see that, at last, the third season to The Commish was online over at Hulu because I’ve been anxious to see the episode Rising Sun. The reason for that is that it includes a small role by my favorite, Michael Shanks of Stargate …
Neon Genesis Evangelion episode 6
Now as we race against the clock to prepare a defense for mankind, the angel Ramiel is bearing down towards Nerv HQ using an shield of some kind. Now, I would like to argue that it appears to be drill with an extended reach, but for now, I will …
Mr. Monk & the Candidate
I got the first season of the show Monk for Christmas and finally got a chance to watch the very first episode again; Mr. Monk and the Candidate. This is a fantastic episode.
Even though I do wish they would have spent a bit more time talking about the death …
Alias Smith and Jones: Journey from San Juan
One of my favorite episodes, Alias Smith and Jones: Journey from San Juan, is a show I never get bored watching. From beginning to end, I enjoy the scenes. Nothing about it tires me, not even after seeing it numerous times over the years. It’s well …
The Twilight Zone: A Penny for Your Thoughts TV Show
From season two of The Twilight Zone, A Penny for Your Thoughts is one I always love to see. It’s a wonderful story, full of surprise, and it’s well acted by performers who are fun to watch. The basic setup is that on his way to work, …
The Simpson’s: Sweets & Sour Marge
I was able to watch a late night episode of the Simpson’s last night and it was an interesting one; “Sweets & Sour Marge.”
This episode has Homer trying to break a world’s record and, after attempts to do so by himself fail, he convinces the town of Springfield to …
Blue’s Clues Television Show
There are many television shows out there that are geared to toddlers. My most favourite right now for my two-year old is Blue’s Clues. Blue’s Clues is partly animated and is based on a young man and his puppy.
The puppy provides clues via an animated paw print to his …
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 …
Cory in the House
I knew there was a spin-off from the old show Raven called Cory in the House but I never got a chance to actually watch it until yesterday; when my daughter had it on TV and I just happened to be in the room.
After seeing a couple episodes in …
My Fair Wedding with David Tutera
I like watching “My Fair Wedding with David Tutera”, but only if not much else is on! The premise of “My Fair Wedding”, which airs on the WE network, is to take women who have horribly over-estimated their wedding design and planning
abilities and put them (and their current …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 14 - The Assignment
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 14 - The Assignment takes a bit of a tragic turn for my favorite, Lt. Simon Adams (Richard Dean Anderson). There’s some fun moments early on, but then something happens that disturbs him greatly, so much so that he is given a ten-day leave.
Back …
Trigun Episode 22
Trigun Episode 22 has Vash, Meryl, Milly and Wolfwood travel to a town, only to be turned away at the gates and meet a small group of orphaned children whose parents just up and left town one day without any explanation. Then people in the nearby town are …
Sea Hunt: The Sea Has Ears TV Show
From September 1958, Sea Hunt: The Sea Has Ears begins with the death or rather, the murder of a diver checking a phone cable. This opening bit uses narration that is frequent in this show, where Mike Nelson, a deep sea diving expert, proclaims. “I didn’t know I’d …
Attack of the Show
I’m so glad I caught Attack of the Show on the G4 channel. What can I say? I’m a geek. I love playing video games, watching videos of Youtube, and reading manga. Attack of the Show happens to have all of that and then some. …
Kapwa Ko Mahal Ko GMA 7 TV Health Public Service Program
This early morning, I chanced upon “Kapwa Ko, Mahal Ko” television program on GMA 7 and was surprised to know this show is still running. I remember it was originally aired way back 1975 by the now Philippine National Red Cross Governor, Ms. Rosa Rosal. I used to love …
Diagnosis Murder: The Last Laugh: Part 2 TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: The Last Laugh: Part 2 concludes the events from the prior week’s episode, and there’s some good stuff contained within its hour.
The big news we learned at the end of Part 1 was that Bonnie Valin (Dyan Cannon) was truly guilty of killing her husband, as played …
Diagnosis Murder: The Pressure to Murder TV Show
While Norman Briggs (Michael Tucci) worries about a computer virus infecting the hospital computers, Dr. Amanda Livingston (Victoria Rowell) worries about the death of a young Rugby playing intern who died after a motorcycle crash, only the reason for the death wasn’t accidental. Joining in the action is …
Fireball XL5: Planet 46
Fireball XL5: Planet 46 premiered on October 28,1962 and introduced the United States audience to this British import from the mind of Gerry Anderson. It’s a science fiction series done not with actors, but with supermarionation. In other words, these are advanced puppets, and who knew they’d …
Two And A Half Men - My Son’s Enormous Head
“My Son’s Enormous Head” is the episode of Two And A Half Men originally airing on CBS on March 16, 2009. This was a sub par episode with few real big laughs.
Pros: The episode attempts to force Charlie into seeming more like a real person with feelings …
Psych TV Episode: Six Feet Under the Sea
Synopsis: While being forced to attend a funeral for a famous Sea Lion, Shawn begins to suspect the creature was murdered and, as a result, is asked to investigate the animal’s death.

Here Come the Brides: A Man and His Magic features Jack Albertson in a flamboyant and yet endearing role of a man who claims to be able to control the weather. He puts on a big show during a rainstorm, and sure enough, the rain stops. Though …
Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 3

Trigun Episode 26 brings an end to the series; Vash finally confronts his brother Knives in a final showdown to put an end to his plan to wipe out all the humans on Gunsmoke.
