The Simpsons: Sunday, Cruddy Sunday
Early yesterday afternoon, I came across a Simpsons episode I haven’t seen in a while; Sunday, Cruddy Sunday.
As a big NFL football fan, I absolutely love this episode. It features Homer and his new friend Wally organizing a trip to the Super Bowl. This, in itself, is a bit …
Laramie: Trail Drive
Jim Davis, perhaps best known as the patriarch on the nighttime soap opera Dallas, guest starred in the Trail Drive episode of the western Laramie. This first season episode has always been a favorite. The show opens with an impressive gun duel between Davis’ character of Hake …
A Taste for Death - Part 5
I enjoyed the early portion of A Taste for Death - Part 5. I liked the opening, out on the lake, in the rowboat. Some of the outdoor scenes in this taped production are the best. This mystery continues with Inspector Adam Dalgliesh (Roy Marsden) still …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 5: Troll Bridge
The first few minutes of this episode had me worried that this was going to be a dud. We follow what is later to be revealed to be a troll as he goes off on his own and had “wacky adventures” in New York City. Luckily, we …
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 …
The Girls Next Door (tv show)
The Girls Next Door is on E, and its about Hugh Heffner and his three girlfriends, with whom he is currently residing. The show is on religiously Sunday evenings, either airing at nine or ten o’clock, EST. Although I thought the program sounded like it would be …
Walking Dead (TV Series)
I am generally not a fan of zombie movies because they’re ususally very low budget and very terrible. Infact I can count on one hand how many zombie movies I’ve actually liked. The “Walking Dead” is different since not only is it the 1st zombie television series I’ve seen, …
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 …
Man Vs. Wild on the Discovery Channel
I love watching the discovery channel but I am not a fan of the show Man Vs. Wild. My husband loves the show but I think there are too many disgusting parts. For example I just watched Bear Grylls (the only character) on the show cut open a …
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 …
Doctor Who: Season 5, Episode 12: The Pandorica Opens
So we come to the first part of the fifth season’s finale, and man, does it manage to cram a lot into the 47 minute run time. The first few minutes jump around to various historical eras. This allows us to see some past characters like Van Gogh, …
Kim Kardashian on Dancing With the Stars
Ok. I’m a sucker. I watch anything with Kim Kardashian on it. I think she’s perfect for the show; you can tell that she has no dance experience. I hope she is kept on the show by viewers so we can see how much she has improved. I think …
Star Trek’s Favorite Moments featurette
I love the Star Trek’s Favorite Moments featurette which allows us to get a look at some of the Trek performers and what it is that attracted them to this science fiction series. Michael Dorn, Ethan Phillips, and Tim Russ all spoke about how they watched Star Trek …
Sa Re Ga Ma Pa
Sa Re Ga Ma Pa is one of my favorite programs in Zee Tv. The main motto of the program is to bring out the talents in youth. It is basically a music competition. The panel selects few talented youths to contest on the stage among the lacs of …
Night Gallery: Clean Kills And Other Trophies TV Show
Clean Kills And Other Trophies featured Raymond Massey and included Herbert Jefferson Jr. and Tom Troupe. A big part of the story revolves around hunting, and since I’m against hunting, it’s a little disturbing. This is especially true in the opening scene which takes place in Massey’s …
Glee: The Rocky Horror Glee Show TV Show
Glee: The Rocky Horror Glee Show opened with a couple of things grabbing my attention. In the opening credits, there was Meat Loaf of all people, and he was using his last name. I haven’t seen that one in a while.
Then the opening teaser with the big …
Samsung PN50C430 50 inch 720p Plasma HDTV
In the company that I work for right now, there was a recent drawing for all the employees in a celebration-ceremony. Expecting that my luck, like always, wouldn’t get me drawn; I went for the free food and drinks. So when I heard my name that I had selected …
Stargate Universe: Human TV Show
I truly believe that Stargate Universe is one of the most boring shows on television. I don’t like it and I think it’s a horrible spin off that is shameful since it comes from a beautifully done show like Stargate SG-1. I had, however, had a lot …
Stargate SG-1: Proving Ground
Proving Ground is a nice little episode of the fifth season of Stargate SG-1. It’s yet another show focused on Earth (one must wonder how much economics played in all of these Earth-bound episodes) where four potential SGC candidates are put through a rigorous training exercise, the four …
Stargate SG-1: Lockdown
Stargate SG-1: Lockdown is one of the best episodes of season eight; in fact, of all of the latter seasons of the show. It’s full of good stuff.
In this story, Anubis has made his way to Earth and ends up taking over different people’s bodies. The problem …
Stargate SG1: Enigma
This episode starts with SG1 stepping through the gate onto a planet whose volcano is about to erupt. There is ash flying everywhere and Jack tells Daniel to dial them home. For once, Daniel does not argue about sticking around, well, until he sees people lying around …
Hellcats: Beale St. After Dark TV Show
Hellcats: Beale St. After Dark was a pretty good next episode for this television series. I’m actually surprised at how much I’m liking this show, but the acting has been surprising and the plots have been more interesting than I had anticipated.
In this hour, law student Marti, who …
The Simpsons: The Mook, The Chef, The Wife and Her Homer
My daughter and I ended up sitting down to watch a re-run of The Simpsons last night entitled The Mook, The Chef, The Wife and Her Homer. I have seen bits and pieces of this one before but last night was the first time I finally got to watch …
The Story of the Toad - Upright Citizens Brigade show
The Story of the Toad is the 6th episode of the first season of Upright Citizens Brigade. Many of their episodes try to cover a certain theme: for this episode, that theme was relationships. It takes place on Valentine’s Day, and we can see the UCB members …
Cowboy Bebop Episode 9
Cowboy Bebop Episode 9 begins with a satellite hovering over Earth that begins using its lasers to draw pictures on the surface. Spike, Jet and Faye decide to investigate because there’s a bounty out on the culprit and they rely on an eccentric hacker, a girl calling herself …
Dawn French’s Girls Who Do Comedy
If you’re a fan of any one of the comediennes interviewed in this series, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by it. Dawn French puts her eccentric characters and fiery energy onto the backburner as she takes the interviewer’s seat, bringing an enjoyable balance of the right questions and a liveliness …
Justice League Unlimited Season One: Task Force X
“Task Force X” is the best episode thus far of season one of Justice League Unlimited. This was an episode teeming with suspense and strategy. The episode focuses on a few villians who are recruited by the United States government to break into the Justice League’s Watchtower …
The Vampire Diaries: Season 2 Episode 3 “Bad Moon Rising”
When we last left Elena and Stefan, they were still dealing with the terrifying effects of a legendary vampire by the name of Katherine, and her return to Mystic Falls, all while trying to have a normal high school life and relationship. The third episode of the season, “Bad …
Sea Hunt: Midget Submarine TV Show
Sea Hunt: Midget Submarine brought to mind memories of watching an old favorite show of mine, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. Now potentially the idea for the flying submarine could have come from Sea Hunt’s use of this midget submarine since this show predates Voyage. …
Family Guy: Peter, Peter Caviar Eater
Well, that was a funny Family Guy episode, Peter, Peter Caviar Eater. This must have been an earlier episode in the series because we learn a bit more about Lois’ family and how she comes from an upper class family that never approved of her marrying the towel boy …
Space Balls the Animated Series
The other day, I was looking for movies on Netflix Instant Watch and came across Space Balls the animated series. Since I loved that movie, I figured I would take the time to watch the cartoon.
The cartoon wasn’t very good.
I don’t know what they did in other seasons (if …
Care Bears
When I was a kid I watched many cartoons. Not many of them stayed with me however I do remember the Care Bears, I loved them as a kid and although I don’t love them now, it’s dwindled down to a mild like I think they are …
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: Barry Goldwater TV Show
As surprising as it may seem, Republican Senator Barry Goldwater appeared multiple times on roasting editions of The Dean Martin Comedy Hour , socking it to different entertainers. On this particular evening, the Arizona senator was on the receiving end of the barbs. Naturally, the political jokes …
Voyagers!: Voyagers (pilot)
Former pirate Phineas Bogg has a unique job in the universe. He’s a voyager, someone who travels through time making sure that history stays on track. To do this, he uses a guide book and an object called the Omni which tells him where he is and …
Naruto Episode 32 Subbed
This episode has some action in it, but not a lot, and it certainly is not very exciting. Despite the fact that we have seen very little of Rock Lee in the previous episodes, everything we have seen points at him as being quite powerful, but he is nothing …
Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files: Predator/Red Sky at Night TV Show
Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files: Predator/Red Sky at Night was the fourth show in this new series that airs on Syfy. Now this show is a little like the History Channel’s “Chasing Mummies” in that it’s questionable just how accurate of a show it is.
When I watched the …
Have Gun - Will Travel: A Miracle for St. Francis TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: A Miracle for St. Francis is the tenth show of the sixth season, and it is directed by William Conrad, who has taken the helm on several other episodes of this western series. Once again, we don’t get a San Francisco scene, which …
Family Guy: No Chris Left Behind
Last night was an OK Family Guy episode “No Chris Left Behind” but, it also wasn’t one of the better episodes in the series.
This one has Lois and Brian discovering Chris has been forced to learn from history text books written in 1948. During Lois’ protest to the school …
Pokemon (TV Show) - Haunter Vs. Kadabra (Episode)
“Haunter Vs. Kadabra” is an episode of the “Pokemon” television series. It’s the third and final episode in a three episode story arc focusing on Ash’s efforts to secure his third badge. The episode title is actually pretty misleading and unfortunately gets one’s hopes up that this is will …
Family Guy: Road to Rhode Island
While I’m somewhat of a Family Guy fan, some episodes of the show are a bit too lame and lack the funniness I look for in a television sitcom.
The episode Road to Rhode Island is one of those episodes.
The episode starts out with Brian feeling a sense of abandonment …
The Closer TV Episode: Makeover
I have never been a bit fan of the show The Closer. I never really found anything about it I didn’t like. I just think there are too many cop shows on TV now and can only watch so many without feeling a bit burnt out.
However, I didn’t turn …
Justice League Unlimited: “The Balance”
This episode of “Justice League Unlimited” begins with flash trying to get Wonder Woman and Hawkgirl together. I believe that Wonder Woman is still upset over the Thangarian invasion though they don’t say in the episode.
I both like, and dislike that about Justice League Unlimited. I appreciate that they …
Stargate SG-1: The Tomb
The early season five episodes of Stargate SG-1 had so many neat episodes, including this one called The Tomb. It’s a keeper from the get-go, with Jack being his usual impatient self while Daniel tries to decipher the way into a ziggurat.
Stargate SG-1: The Tomb has SG-1 teamed …
Smallville: Toxic
“Toxic” is the third episode of the eight season of Smallville. I really enjoyed this episode because it provided the audience with the background of the Green Arrow, who has grown to become one of the more interesting characters on the show. The flashback also illustrated his …
Futurama TV Episode: The Duh-Vinci Code
I rarely get a chance to watch the newer episodes of the show Futurama. But, the kids were in bed last night and my wife was busy on the computer so I ended up finally watching a couple of them; including the one entitled The Duh-Vinci Code.
This episode was …
Ghost Whisperer: Dead Eye TV Show
The latest episode of Ghost Whisperer was a show called Dead Eye, which seems like a good title since when I look at the show’s star, it’s hard not to focus on her eyes, and that’s not really a good thing, and here’s why,.
The one thing about Jennifer Garner …
Survivor Season 20 Episode 4
This episode of Survivor gave me exactly what i wanted. More Villains air time. Now as someone who is rooting for the Villains I don’t wnat them to go to tribal council however if they do it means more screen time for them so it’s a catch …
Hawaii Five-O: No Blue Skies
Hawaii Five-O: No Blue Skies is another episode with a bit of a musical theme, and I love those. This time it’s Tommy Sands singing in the lounge of a Hawaii nightclub. He’s a fairly good singer, so I enjoyed the sounds a great deal.
Unfortunately, Sands’ character …
