Tales of the Gold Monkey: Tales of the Gold Monkey: Part 1

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Hide and Q
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Hide and Q is really an episode of the series that I do not like. The reason I do not like this episode is because Riker behaves so very out of character and it is clear that the writers twisted the character just …
A Taste for Death - Part 6
The wrap up to this P.D. James novel adaptation on television, A Taste for Death, is surprisingly intense. There was a shocking onscreen murder which is ultra rare. We often see murder victims, but we rarely see the murder itself. As a result, I think I …
Weeds season 1
I watched Weeds Season One on DVD again last week. I was home alone, and the house was so quiet, I found myself seeking a dvd to keep me company.

Three and a Half Men
I think one of the best television shows of all time is “Three and a Half Men”. In fact I am watching it right now, and it is a rerun I’ve seen before, but I can’t help but laugh out loud. They have absolutely the best writers, and …
The Virginian: It Tolls for Thee
The Virginian: It Tolls for Thee is from the first season of this western series which had the unique honor of being 90-minutes in length when airing. Overall, it’s not a series I’m that crazy about, but some episodes aren’t too bad.
In It Tolls for Thee, guest star …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Love of a Bad Woman TV Show
Love of a Bad Woman is the 28th episode of Have Gun - Will Travel’s third season and it has a fun opening with Paladin playing chess. I really like these scenes of San Francisco life more than I do the gunfighter stories much of the time. …

How I Met Your Mother - Sorry, Bro

Family Guy, The Series
The Family Guy series is so far the best animated cartoon ever! This is just non-stop laughter. Even some of the quotes are almost impossible to stop laughing at. The flashbacks are super humorous also. I think those are the two factors Family Guy grasped completely; pauses and flashbacks. …
Pokemon (TV Show) - Abra and the Psychic Pokemon (Episode)
“Abra and the Psychic Pokemon” is an episode of the “Pokemon” television series. This is the first episode of a three episode story arc that focuses on Ash’s attempts to win his third badge. The story arc is handled pretty well and is entertaining thanks to the Sabrina character …
The Twilight Zone: The Chaser TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Chaser is an okay outing for this science fiction series. I don’t particularly love it, but I don’t dislike it, either. It’s one of the few roles I can somewhat tolerate John McIntire in. He plays a mysterious professor who sales …
The Soup - E! Entertainment Television

The Fall Guy: The Rich Get Richer TV Show
I mentioned in my last review for The Fall Guy that one of the things that is ironic about this show is that it focuses on a stunt man and as a result we see some incredible stunts. At the same time, it’s not really fictional stunt man …
Saved by the Bell
Saved by the Bell was a really cool show that I remember. It was show that brings back to many memories and really made me laugh. The show is about a bunch of kids in high school. It’s very funny and also very entertaining. I think the way the kids …
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: Bobby Riggs TV Show
Believe it or not, even tennis guru Bobby Riggs was worthy to be the Man of the Week on The Dean Martin Comedy Hour. It’s amazing who they honored, and that’s not always good. Martin had a few good opener zingers, including some about the big Billie …
Star Trek: The Conscience of the King TV Show
Quite frankly, Star Trek: The Conscience of the King isn’t a show I really like to watch that much. I won’t necessarily turn it off if it comes on, but it’s not one of those episodes that makes me excited when I realize it’s coming on, nor is …
Psych: You can’t Handle this Episode
Well, when the new episode of Psych came out and I heard it starred pro wrestler John Cena, I was definitely intrigued. I didn’t expect it to be a pretty decent episode.
This one is a bit sad to be honest, not only is Shawn’s girlfriend (who I just realized …
Ghost Hunters: Irish Ruins
Another interesting Ghost Hunters episode; or at least something that seemed interesting at first; Irish Ruins.
This one has the TAPS team doing some investigating in Ireland and England. The first case had them at the ruins of a building in the middle of nowhere that is now overgrown with …

The Simpsons: That 90s Show
Of all the things I’ve seen Marge and Homer’s marriage have to survive in the almost two decades worth of Simpsons episodes, I never realized he almost lost her to a college professor; something that is revealed in the episode entitled “That 90s Show.”
The great thing about this episode …

Kara no Kyoukai anime
Hello,
What attracted me to this anime was the music. Composer Yuki Kajiura together with Kalafina’s vocals, the combination is pretty much magic. Upon hearing this, you can feel the supernatural theme that acts as an extension of the anime, thus giving people a hint of what the anime …
Make Me a Super Model (Episode 6)
Every week I watch Make Me a Super Model, I have to ask myself exactly where they found the women in this competition. They are all pretty but none seem to be super model material. The male contestants have simply dominated this show.

The Ray Bradbury Theater: Hail and Farewell TV Show

Jon & Kate Plus 8 (TLC program)
My mother told me about this show and suggested that I watch it. The concept of a woman giving birth to sextuplets is fascinating in and of itself. Giving birth to more than four babies at once is fascinating. But this show takes things …

The Andy Griffith Show: The Shoplifters TV Show
In March 1964, The Andy Griffith Show: The Shoplifters aired, and it’s a pretty hysterical half hour of entertainment. It certainly has its moments anyway.

Sea Hunt: Diving for the Moon TV Show
Sea Hunt: Diving for the Moon aired on February 15, 1959, and I mention the year specifically because the show dealt with the training of four men who are in the astronaut program. The show actually opens with Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) doing his narration about how …
Mr. Monk Goes Underwater
When the episode “Mr. Monk Goes Underwater” first aired, I had to be somewhere and didn’t get a chance to watch it. Tonight, I finally got a chance and found it to be entertaining.
This was definitely a funny episode because Monk, who is afraid of everything, finds himself onboard …

If I had a hammer - CSI: las vegas
This was the latest episode of CSI: las vegas. I enjoyed it for the most part. Here lately they haven’t been having very many good episodes at all. There have only been a couple of good episodes ever since Grissom left. This one and “miscarriage of justice” was good …
