Martha: The Martha Stewart Show from September 17, 2010 featured guests Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Ryan, John Ortiz, and Daphne Rubin-Vega. Some were more enjoyable than others.
Much of this show was devoted to Hoffman and his movie, Jack Goes Boating. Other members of the cast, as mentioned, …

“Sorry, Bro” is the episode of How I Met Your Mother originally airing on CBS on March 9, 2009. You know a show has hit its stride when it can be funny even in an episode consisting of the main characters sit around a table, drink beer, and tell …

Shanties and Sea Songs with Gareth Malone was quite an interesting show in my opinion. That’s mostly due to the fact that the topic, the style of song covered in this special program is highly dramatic and engaging. In fact, they are some of the most powerful …

M*A*S*H: Hey, Look Me Over is co-written by Alan Alda and Karen Hall. Hall is one of the show’s few female writers, and she seemed to have come along in the last couple of years and did a few episodes. It’s probably sad the number of female …

The August 25, 2010 edition of the American version of Big Brother was the Power of Veto episode. Quite honestly, it was the competition that was the best part of the very long hour. The truth is that many of these shows could be shown in a …

Another installment in The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror specials, the episode begins with “Keeping it Kodos”, a bit similar to a ’90s sitcom complete with an audience laugh track. It continues onto its first story “The Ned Zone”, where Ned has received a concussion as a result and …

Desperate Housewives Episode: The Tornado is so scary and in fact, this is one of the best and most awesome episodes, which makes me shudder because out there, there might be real stuff like this happening and my heart is beating so fast and I almost cry. I really …

I watched this show because I am an avid enthusiast where ghosts and other paranormal activity are concerned. Seeing that this program attempts to deal with the most severe cases, I was immediately intrigued. I watched in full the first time—and episode wherein a young …

Boris Karloff both hosts and plays a part in this early anthology series, The Veil. This episode is called Vision of Crime and tells the story of a man who sees the murder of his brother while on a trip overseas. When he returns to America, he …

After the relatively uninspired premiere episode of The Closer’s sixth season, I wasn’t exactly expecting fireworks from its second episode. However, as soon as I saw Mary McDonnell’s surname on guest star list, I was hopeful for one of the better episodes, and I was definitely onto something, since …

Super Mario World - “King Scoopa Koopa” is an episode that I find offers a good amount of humor and action, although I felt its “message” was not really necessary. The message that I am referring to is eating too much greasy fast food and what it can do …

Dick Van Dyke’s Dr. Mark Sloan finds himself the foreman on a jury in Diagnosis Murder: Murder in the Courthouse. The case is being prosecuted by Patricia Purcell, portrayed by special guest star Dixie Carter. However, this isn’t a show about the jury coming to a verdict. …

“Odyssey” is the first episode of season eight of Smallville. This is the first ever episode that did not feature the character of Lex Luthor. Although this is a huge blow to the show, at the least this episode shows that the writers are willing to introduce some …

Highway Patrol, starring Broderick Crawford, continued its opening season of police drama with a show entitled Radioactive. As the title indicates, it’s all about a device that contains radioactive pellets which are stolen. That’s not the worst of it, though. The thief ends up junking it …

Naruto is finally releasing the power of the nine tails and with chakra swirling all around him and taking on a life of its own this should be an awesome, action packed episode. Or so one would think if one wanted to be wrong. All of Haku’s attacks are …

The much hyped pilot episode of Lone Star was directed by Peter Horton, so I assumed off the bat that it should be a riveting and quality show. In reality, it was. It included a couple of memorable lines, even. I was fascinated by an early …

The great and awesome Jimmy Stewart is the Man of the Hour in The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast, which was taped in Las Vegas. Right off the bat, I’ll say that the wonder of this hour is the quality of the talent there to roast Stewart. There …

Quincy, M.E.: Go Fight City Hall… to the Death from 1976 is the pilot for this crime drama. It told a story not often seen on TV and that is the role of the medical examiner. Played by Jack Klugman, Quincy is a fighter. His personal …

Somebody tells Patrick to get out of town, as a joke, and he takes it seriously. He confronts Spongebob about his situation because he does not know what he is going to do, because he has no place to go and stay. Spongebob comes up with this crazy idea …

My wife and I used to watch the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer when it was still on the air a few years ago. But, we didn’t start watching it until some of the later episodes (after she left college) and, because of that, missed episodes like one I …

This episode of The Defenders, known as Nevada v. Sen. Harper, was rock solid, and it is the kind of hour that I want to see. It’s not that there aren’t still annoyances, because there are, but the dramatic portions are really wonderful to watch.
The opening scene with …

This episode originally aired on October 20, 2008. It is not as funny as the other episodes but it does help to move the plot ahead. It may feel a little boring at times. It concludes the romance between Ted and Stella.
The break-up between Ted and Stella has been …

Hmm, first a Monk Christmas episode and now a Psych one; anyone else sense a theme here? Just kidding. As far as the episode “Christmas Joy” goes, it wasn’t too bad but also didn’t quite hit the standards I’ve come to expect from this detective show.
I will say the …

I was a little surprised by Wagon Train: The Sam Darland Story because I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. This season six episode reminds me a lot of Boys Town and Father Flanigan, though there isn’t any connection. It’s just the idea that makes …

I was never a big Wildcat fan. I don’t know why, he just never really appealed to me. He takes the main stage here as he, along with Batman do battle with a group of rebel teens who have dubbed themselves “the Outsiders”. Fans of Batman …

I’d intentionally waited for a few weeks after this series debuted before reviewing it because I wanted to get a better sense of what the show is about. The first episode was pure sex, or pretty much so anyway, with the climax (pardon the pun!) being the swapping between …

From season one, Star Trek: The Devil in the Dark is one of my favorite episodes of the entire series. There are so many terrific things about this story that make me like it, but the number one element is probably just that it’s the right of a …

Memoir from Mr. Sulu from early 2004 was another update on one of the people who made Star Trek the legend that it is, George Takei. Takei played Sulu, the helmsman. He’s always been very pro-Sulu, advocating for his character and his advancement. I love that …

This episode used to freak me out as a little kid mainly because the disfigured villains were so cruel and their attempts to kill everyone on earth with nerve gas paled in comparison to their tormenting of a deaf girl and their attempt to set Buck Rogers on fire! …

A new reality show from BET is The Boot. This show is not like those that you are used to, first two individuals whether it be two male or two females are in charge of picking from four contestants which one they deem worthy of dating. The four contestants …

After Father Abel Nightroad’s death, things take an very depressing turn. If you do not like depressing episodes, this might not be one for you. But, if you like action and comedy mixing it up, then you have just struck gold on your hunt. Trinity Blood: Episode twenty-three: “Crown …

I never would have thought it in a thousand years, but I really enjoying this new cooking show that is part of the new Hallmark Channel Home block of daytime programming. It’s called Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn and its September 15, 2010 episode was its …

The fifth season of MacGyver began with another change to the opening theme. I really miss some of the original clips, but they had to update it for the times, I suppose. The mullet is in full tilt, too. I really was never a fan of …

Outnumbered is one of the best comedies currently showing on British TV. It is always amusing and, rather than giving me belly laughs, I watch which fascination to see what the kids are going to come out with next. Outnumbered is a sit com featuring the middle …

Shout Factory produced the That Girl DVDs, beginning with this season one set. It’s a great set, but what I don’t like is the way the DVDs are organized. The DVDs are placed in one, long jacket. You open it and then have to open it …

The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast honored the poetic Muhammad Ali on this edition of The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast. Naturally, Howard Cosell was there. You can’t roast Ali with Cosell. Those two were their own version of the old Martin and Lewis comedy team.
When Cosell spoke …

…and the day was finally here, THEY ARE OUT! I know there are many people, or I better say girls, who are Gilmore Girls fans and that they were waiting for this moment with bathed breath, but some non-that-much-fans did the same. I like this TV show very much but …

The latest edition of Shatner’s Raw Nerve featured psychic John Edward. This is the show where William Shatner has a one-on-one casual and unscripted conversation with someone, in this case Edward. I’ve found many of these shows to be pretty fascinating. This may be the first …

This cartoon, A Christmas Tree, is actually a translated title of a Russian cartoon made in 1959. It actually amazed me, considering the time in which it was made. I found it to be a warm, loving film about a young boy whose father was working in …

Sam Tyler is a police detective who got hit by a car and from 2008 he found himself back at 1973 but not as a kid as he originally was in 1973 but as a police officer. He tries to find out what happened so at the beginning of …

I recently introduced my daughter to the 1970s cartoon show Fat Albert and she has been watching episodes of it (on DVD) every day since.
I haven’t seen the show in ages and finally got a chance to sit down with her yesterday to watch a couple episodes. One of …

Stargate SG-1: The Sentinel has SG-1 split as they try and fix a problem that was caused by another team’s visit.
Throughout the episode, Jack is in the ‘city’, appearing in scenes with Henry Gibson, famous from the Laugh-In television series. Gibson does nothing for me here, not that …

The X-Files was a well-known TV show that ran in the 1990s. It featured actors David Coveney and Gillian Anderson as special agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. These two agents were assigned to the X-Files — cases that the FBI was investigating that concerned paranormal phenomena …

M*A*S*H: Springtime is a pivotal episode to one of the characters, but it’s also a show with a lot of gaps that make it a bit sub-par. I do like the location shooting here, which really wasn’t much of a location, except that the cameras went outside of …

Hands down, Spongebob Squarepants is for me the funniest cartoon for kids and kids at heart. Its unique humor is something that not everybody appreciates, knowing a lot of articles written about it all over the web which are not favorable, but it is MY type of humor, so …

CSI Season 4 Episode 18- Bad to the Bone
It’s quite a nice choice of words to name the episode. I bit ironic, I find. The episode itself was quite good, but I don’t think it was very interesting. I could guess some of the facts before the team did, …
