Tales of the Gold Monkey: The Sultan of Swat
I said in my review for this show that the adventure series has lost some of its shine from its first ten episodes or so, and that’s really true. There’s a stretch of a few shows here, all in a row, that are just so-so. This is …
Wagon Train: The Eli Bancroft Story
The Eli Bancroft Story of Wagon Train is definitely a favorite. Not only is a good show, it’s a show I remembered throughout the decades. There are a few episodes of Wagon Train that I never forgot, even though I was just a little girl when they …
Grey’s Anatomy (TV series)
Grey’s Anatomy is a medical drama that airs on the ABC channel on Thursday nights. I came into the show a little bit late, but I have been slowly catching up from season 1.
The show reminds me vaguely of ER. However, there are some points to …
The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 6: Ascension
This episode picks up with Mulder getting Scully’s message wherein she is subsequently kidnapped by the escaped mental patient/UFO abductee named Duane Barry. A thought occurred to me just after I wrote the review for the last episode, why would he take Scully? He had no interaction with …
Criminal Minds S3 E5

The Office, NBC
As someone who had seen the U.K. version of the hit NBC Television show ‘The Office’ I didn’t know what to expect at first when the United States decided to do their own version of this comedy. Wondering how it would play out, I tuned in to the first …
The Twilight Zone: A Stop at Willoughby TV Show
It’s hard to forget The Twilight Zone: A Stop at Willoughby which is an episode I’ve seen more times than I can count. I think one of the reasons it’s so memorable is because we all really would love to have a Willoughby of our own, to have …
Bold and the Beautiful
Bold and the Beautiful is my favourite soapie. I first started watching it when I was just 16 years old and I have been watching it ever since, I am now 29 years old.
The best thing about this show is that is the 13 years that I have watched …
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: I Love You Molly McGraw TV show
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: I Love You Molly McGraw starts out with some animal angst, which I never enjoy watching. It’s Evan’s horse, Diablo, who develops a leg injury and might have to be put down. Then it’s new vet, Molly McGraw (Ann Dusenberry) who operates and …

Numb3rs: And the Winner Is…
Numb3rs: And the Winner Is… aired on February 5, 2010, and it was probably the most enjoyable episode of the season for me. I’ve really missed not having Peter MacNicol on the show. ABC has taken some cost cutting measures for this series, including reducing the number …
Death Note Episode 8
Death Note Episode 8 has L has security cameras in Light Yagami’s house and he figures out how to keep killing people while pretending to study for college entrance exams.
This episode was interesting as it shows how far L and Light will go to catch the …
The Office - Blood Drive
“Blood Drive” is the episode of “The Office” that originally aired on NBC on March 5, 2009. This was an average episode that suffered from a lack of Andy Bernard and a very subdued Dwight Schrute.
Pros: Jim and Pam going to lunch with Phyllis and Bob Vance …
Law and Order SVU Season 2 Episode 2 Honor
Law and Order SVU Season 2 Episode 2 Honor
In this episode, the story gets really complicated, and the ending is very sad. Despite all the good intentions, I feel that the writers did not have any real knowledge of the culture that were writing about. The …
Alias Smith and Jones: The Legacy of Charlie O’Rourke
Alias Smith and Jones: The Legacy of Charlie O’Rourke is the final episode of season one, and it features a superb actress in Joan Hackett. Also in the cast are Billy Green Bush in the title role of Charlie O’Rourke and J.D. Cannon, who makes his second appearance …
Sea Hunt: Synthetic Hero TV Show
This episode of Sea Hunt, the 20th show of its third year on the air, which was called Synthetic Hero, opened with diving expert Mike Nelson talking about how he stays away from sunken treasures, most of the time. I’m glad he added that disclaimer because the series …

M*A*S*H: Where There’s a Will, There’s a War
M*A*S*H: Where There’s a Will, There’s a War is a very good episode. The action begins when Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) is sent to the front lines to help out. The kink in this armor is that it was B.J. Hunnicutt’s (Mike Farrell) turn to go, but …
The Veil: The Return of Madame Vernoy TV Show
The Veil: The Return of Madame Vernoy was a very compelling story that had me fascinated from the beginning. It’s a story that takes place in India. In 1927, a young Indian woman, whose husband was a Frenchman, gave birth and died a week later. A …
CSI Season 4 Episode 3- Homebodies
CSI Season 4 Episode 3- Homebodies
That was a very average episode, I did not think much about it. Some of it was just plain boring. So it was good, since the show is great, but compared to other episodes on the show, this one was a bit disappointing.
Grissom and …
Spartacus: Blood and Sand
“Blood and Sand” was the first season of the popular cable television series, Spartacus which used to air on Starz. It took me a very long time to start watching it because for most of the season, I either was not very interested in watching it or did not …

Joey Tribbiani
As much as you would like to knock Joey Tribbiani on the head most of the time, you can’t help feeling a bit of love for him. He is the struggling actor in the hit series sitcom Friends, which is not in the making anymore. Such a pity, …
Emergency!
Emergency! is an astounding, groundbreaking TV series that aired on NBC beginning in 1972. The show’s star was Robert Fuller. Now this is offbeat casting, but that’s how Jack Webb wanted. Webb loved to go for things that were different and having cowboy veteran performer Fuller …
Project Runway Season 6 Finale
Wow, that had to be the most predictable Project Runway finale ever. Arina entered it as the obvious favorite and, no surprise, she ended up winning it.
Of course, I have to say, compared to other seasons, this finale was a bit weak. Carol Hannah had a bit of an …
Stargate SG-1: The Tok’ra Part 2
Stargate SG-1: The Tok’ra Part 2 concludes the story where the Tau’ri are introduced to new allies, the Tok’ra.

Snoops: Twice Dead TV Show
Margaret Avery and Stephen Elliott guest starred in the Twice Dead episode of the short-lived TV series called Snoops. In fact, it didn’t even last an entire season. I’m not surprised because I was pretty bored by the whole thing. The only unique thing about this …

Project Runway Season 2
I really enjoyed the first season of Project Runway, and have been pretty happy lately because one of the channels that I get has been rerunning Project Runway’s second season from beginning to end.
I really like this season’s contestants. I especially think Santino is funny and interesting. There …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Ambush TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel continued its third season with episode 32 entitled Ambush. In this show, the action starts right away without any fanfare, pleasant San Francisco teaser, or polite banter. It’s right to the intensity of the situation that Paladin (Richard Boone) finds himself in.
Paladin …
TV Series Modern Family “Caught in the Act”
You have to love a show that has kids walking in on their parents having sex in the morning in their first scene. I hadn’t seen a kids walking in episode on tv in awhile, it is not the first show to have done it but the material …
The Simpsons, season 19
The Simpsons are still my favourite cartoon for grown ups, even American Dad, Futurama nor South Park aren’t that good. Well some people say that 19 seasons is too much but in my opinion the Simpsons are still treathen the most important issus in the society and there are …
CSI New York Season 2 Episode 22- Stealing Home
CSI New York Season 2 Episode 22- Stealing Home
A very average episode for the show. There were a few interesting moments, but then the rest was not good at all. It began looking like a really good story, but it died in the middle. I don’t think it is …
Ghost Hunters TV Episode: Pennsylvania Asylum
Synopsis: The TAPS team unveils their new van as they travel to Pennsylvania to investigate Penhurst Asylum (shut down in 1986 for abusing the inmates).

As part of the team searches the area, …
Chopped (reality competition)
This is a really interesting show in that it’s very quick. The contestants come in, and one of them is “chopped” after each course until one is left standing. This cooking show is great because there is a time element at each stage. There is …
The Sing-Off: Night Two
The second night of The Sing-Off brought us more acapella numbers from diverse groups throughout the country. I lament that the program wasn’t aired live and instead was taped. It really took away from that spontaneous feel.
Noteworthy tried to perform a song by Cold Play, but it …
The Simpsons: The Parent Rap
Last night was probably the third time I’ve seen the Simpson’s episode “The Parent Rap” and it is funnier each and every time.
The episode is essentially a spoof of our legal system and judges who spend their time thinking up creative punishments to get in the news than actually …
Highway Patrol: Confidence Game TV Show
From December 1958, its fourth and final season on television, Highway Patrol: Confidence Game was somewhat entertaining. My only big peeve is that it’s another diner setup for the crime, and that’s something that Highway Patrol has done repeatedly over the years.
In the case of Confidence Game, we’re …
The Simpsons Season 8 Episode 15
Bart does some mischief and it costs Homer a lot of money. They do not have that kind of money to pay the gas company. So Marge decides to sell an old figurine. They go to the antiques store to sell this figurine. There they meet a very friendly …
M*A*S*H: Margaret’s Engagement
This comedy series changes in a big way with M*A*S*H: Margaret’s Engagement, and it was about a year overdue. The writing was on the wall in season four. Loretta Swit had to be jumping for joy as this is the beginning of taking her Margaret ‘Hot Lips’ …
Outnumbered British Television Situation Comedy Show
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 …
Renegade (tv series)
Recently when I was on the road, the television show “Renegade” came to my mind. I can remember that the show used to be a popular television show in the nineteen nineties that had originated in America, and after watching some of the episodes online to refresh my memory …
