M*A*S*H: Television’s Serious Sitcom
In 2002, the Biography Channel did a very nice review of the M*A*S*H comedy series called M*A*S*H: Television’s Serious Sitcom. The smash show ran for 11 seasons on CBS. Narrated by Bill Mumy, numerous then-current interviews were done with many of the show regulars and powers that …
CSI: For Warrick
If you are a CSI fan then you should know who Warrick is. In case you don’t know already, in the episode called “For Warrick” in the latest season, he passes away. This is a very sad episode but yet extremely good. There were parts that I was crying …
Justice League Unlimited Season One: This Little Piggy
This Little Piggy is the sixth episode of season one of Justice League Unlimited. The first 90% of the episode is really bad. Wonder Woman is turned into a pig and the Justice League has to find her before she is turned into bacon, literally.
It was nice …
Burn Notice: Hot Spot
Burn Notice: Hot Spot from season two isn’t really a big hit for me. The basic concept is that Fiona continues to help Michael try to find out who is trying to kill him, while Michael’s ‘job’ for the show is helping a football player who is in …
Batman: The Brave and the Bold: Hail the Tornado Tyrant
Some think that this show, with it’s lighter and softer take on the DC Universe isn’t capable of telling great stories. This episode proves them wrong.
It’s a simple tale, android hero Red Tornado builds himself a son so that he can experience a family for himself. While …
The Rapture (Discovery Channel - Religion Program)
The Discovery Channel just aired a program on The Rapture that I found rather interesting. The Rapture encompasses the idea of Jesus coming to rescue people who have had faith in Him prior to a seven year period of earthly damnation. I was surprised to learn that …

The Simpson’s: Great Wife Hope
I haven’t watched too many new episodes of the Simpson’s lately so I didn’t realize last night’s episode Great Wife Hope, was a repeat rather than a new episode (I looked it up this morning).
In any case, it really wasn’t as good of an episode as I thought it …
Valentine’s Day - Family Guy, Season 11
It would not be Valentine’s Day without a Family Guy episode making fun of the holiday that is more and more like a money making holiday for retailers then a meaningful event in the lives of couples. The title is Valentine’s Day in Quahog and it is the 12th …
Lost: Because You Left: The Lie
I am always happy when a series I’ve been watching comes back on the air, but there are certain shows which carry more of that certain type of joy. “Lost” is one of them. The season premier of Lost; “Because You Left: The Lie” is two hours long and …
MacGyver: The Outsiders
Season four of MacGyver has turned out to be the season without the Phoenix Foundation, or so it seems. The first three thus far have had Mac on the road, but at least they aren’t do dead animal stories. Actually, this episode, which is called The Outsiders, …
Grown Your Own Drugs episode 2 flowers
Grow Your Own Drugs is the most radical title for a TV show I think I have ever seen. I just had to watch it because my curiosity was just killing me. I like gardening and herbs are one of my latest kicks I have gotten into learning about. …
Stargate SG-1: Shades of Grey
The week following a somewhat weak show, viewers of Stargate SG-1 were treated to one of the best shows of the entire series, an episode entitled Shades of Grey. In it, Jack O’Neill resigns from the Air Force after becoming frustrated by the military’s lack of taking action …
The Andy Griffith Show: Mayberry on Record TV Show
Mayberry loves the idea of show business. This is actually the third episode in the series’ premier season that has dealt with the entertainment industry in some way. In The Andy Griffith Show: Mayberry on Record from February 1961, a man named Maxwell arrives in town claiming …
Felicity TV Show
I have to say I don’t like the television series Felicity, it’s kind of a weak show with weak writers and weak characters. For me there is not a lot about this series to like unfortunately.
The overall plot is one I don’t like. I don’t like the …
The Secret Life of the American Teenager
Hey, you should be proud of me. A new television series came on TV and, not only did I watch it, I actually got to see the first episode of it (that rarely happens).
But, after watching The Secret Life of the American Teenager on ABC Family, I really find …

Criminal Minds, TV show
Criminal minds is a TV show that will run its eleventh season this year. Eleventh season! There are not many TV shows that can brag with eleven seasons. I saw a few episodes of this show in the past few years but never entire episode, just pieces of an …
Highway Patrol: Trailer Story TV Show
Trailer Story is the third outing for Highway Patrol’s third season. Starring Broderick Crawford as Chief Dan Mathews, the head of the California Highway Patrol, this story is the search for a killer.
As far as the production quality goes, it was pretty good. I didn’t really have …
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 …
Veronica Mars Season 1 Episode 3
*spoilers ahoy*
Episode three of the first season of Veronica Mars is probably one of my least favorites of the season, mostly because I found the episode mystery to be fairly ridiculous. The episode follows Veronica as she doggedly tries to find the father of one of her classmates, Justin. …
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 …
Barbara Walter’s Top Ten
My husband and I watched Barbara Walter’s top ten most interesting people tonight on ABC. I found it very right on. My husband on the other hand says it was way off base. He says people like Adam Lambert and Lady Gaga should not have been on there. He …
Psych TV Episode: Talk Derby to Me
I have never seen the season three episode of Psych called Talk Derby to Me until today, when I ended up watching it on Netflix Instant Watch because the kids were both in bed and my wife was glued to the computer (she is obsessed with a game she …
Tv Show “Raising Hope” Episode 6 “Family Secrets”

That 70s Show TV Episode: Street Fighting Man
I got home about 5:30 yesterday evening and decided to put on a re-run of That 70s Show while waiting for the Simpsons to come on. It turned out that re-run was one of the funniest episodes from any series that I have ever seen.
The episode, called Street Fighting …
Entertainment Tonight TV Show
I really like watching Entertainment Tonight, I always have. The show takes a look at what’s going on in the entertainment industry, form what the stars are wearing to where they live. The show also profiles new movies that are coming out, and recaps gossip from behind the scenes …
CSI: New York: The 34th Floor TV Show
I really want to be a fan of CSI: New York, and in fact I did watch it regularly in the beginning, but somehow, I just didn’t get into the habit of watching every week. So, I’ve seen sporadic episodes only. One thing that I know is …
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 …
Stargate Atlantis: Search and Rescue
The fifth and final season of Stargate Atlantis begins with an episode called Search and Rescue. Now this concludes a story that was done as a cliffhanger in season 4, and I didn’t see that. Actually, the only reason I’m reviewing the fifth season is because an …
Keeping Up with the Kardashians
I turned on the television and was lucky enough to catch an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
Initially I had thought it would be a terrible show and had never bothered watching it, that night however there was nothing on TV and so I watched.
Surprisingly it was really …
TruTv All Worked Up
After watching the premiere episodes of “All Worked Up” via TruTv; I have to say that my stomach stirred from receiving a bad case of “Operation Repo”.
Was it me or did this show stink of “Operation Repo” nonsense? First, either the respondents were horrible F rated actors or normal …
90210 show
It’s been two years since I first seen the first episode of 90210 and since then, I became addicted to the series. I was not able to watch the first 90210 series which was way way back, that was like a few years ago. I was not able to …
666 Park Avenue TV Show
Being that I am an individual who loves a good horror movie that makes my heart thud and a mystery that leaves me puzzled, 666 park avenue instantly appealed to me.This TV Show isn’t your typical drama or just a show to spark your attention and then disappoint you. …
Orchestra United: Episode 4 TV Show
This is the big moment, the big show, for Orchestra United. It’s just the fourth episode, but apparently, that’s all there is. I’m just stunned that an entire year has gone by since 75 high schoolers were brought together to form the band. For that, we’ve …
CHiPs: Vintage ‘54
CHiPs: Vintage ‘54 had some good moments in it, including some with that lovable elderly lady, Mrs. Downey, played by Marjorie Bennett. She did a few episodes in this first season of CHiPs. This time her car gets stolen and she demands to have it back ‘now’. …

What I liked about this …
Have Gun - Will Travel: One, Two, Three TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel continued its 1962 efforts with a fifth season outing called One, Two, Three. This show is just full of violence, though we don’t really see that much of it. The catalyst of the murders are more heard than seen as they are …
Glee - Theatricality
And so Glee’s descent into the real world continues.
With its revolving plot lines and hit or miss ‘themes’. the once magical “Glee” has become a what was once cool, TV show. Following in the footsteps of shows like Lost, Glee seems to be a victim of its own …
Star Trek the Next Generation Episode: Devil’s Due
I ended up watching some re-runs of the television series Star Trek the Next Generation this past weekend. And, one of those episodes was one I hadn’t seen before called Devil’s Due.
This one was actually kind of interesting. Basically, they are orbiting a planet that has had 1000 years …
What Not To Wear Tv Show
What not to wear is a fun show on TLC that finds a fashion diaster and helps then pick a new wardrobe that makes them look better. In most cases the people who they pick to be on this show have some absolutly absurd fashion ideas, and think that …
Parking Wars: S4, Ep 4 TV Show
Parking Wars continued its fourth TV season with this episode that focused on events in Detroit as well as Philadelphia.
The lure of this series is just seeing how dumb people can be. It’s actually a sad sign of our culture, that people don’t take responsibility for themselves and …

Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 20 starts inside of Lab 5 where the Elrics have snuck off to investigate because the military is creating Philosopher’s Stones using people. Ed and Al have to fight for their lives to discover the truth behind truth and what’s really going on inside …
M*A*S*H: O.R.
M*A*S*H: O.R. is aptly named because the show is thirty minutes of operating room scenes. It’s a long stretch of emergency surgery that is featured in this half hour episode from the third season of this show about the Korean War. Oddly, this series outlasted the true …
Michael Palin: Around the world in 80 days: Episode 1
I had never heard about “Michael Palin: Around the world in 80 days” until it popped up on Netflix recommendations, but since it was instant watch I decided to try it. I assumed it was a two hour documentary, but it was a short series made for the BBC.
The …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Lake TV Show
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Lake aired in July 1989, and it’s turned out to be one of my favorites so far. This is the third season of Bradbury science fiction stories that aired, and it’s been pretty much a love/hate relationship for me. A show either …
Stargate SG-1: 1969
1969 was indeed a very good year, at least for the team members of SG-1 when they end up walking through the Stargate and finding themselves not in their own time anymore.
Stargate SG-1: 1969 is really a super fun episode that I adore watching. The team’s reaction to their …
