Beast Wars - Double Dinobot
Beast Wars - Double Dinobot is an episode that offers up some comedy here and there and a decent, albeit not very fresh story idea as well as one of the few battles fought throughout the series that occur in beast forms. In this episode, Megatron succeeds in creating …
M*A*S*H: Bottoms Up
M*A*S*H: Bottoms Up gives the viewers a different slant on the usual prankster plots that we’ve seen over the years. This time around Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) and B.J. Hunnicutt (Mike Farrell) pull a prank in the operating room that isn’t funny and turns the camp against him. …
American Idol - elimination 3/26/09
American Idol began their 1 of 10 elimination with the usual recap, which was much funnier than usual because of the antics of Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell from the previous night’s competition. Abdul gave the Brit a pack of crayons while critiquing Scott MacIntyre and at the …
Dancing With the Stars: S11, Wk 5 Performance TV Show
The performance show for the 11th season of Dancing With the Stars, Week 5, was again given too much time. The network is milking this show, and if they aren’t careful, they’ll overdo it and viewers will go away. We’re smart, and we’ll tire of being toyed …
House : Whac-A-Mole
I often wonder as I watch House how good the medicine in the show really is. I can recognize that it is unconventional but is that because it’s dangerous or because it’s fake. It doesn’t really matter most of the time, but I do wonder.
This episode was about an 18 …
True Files TV show
Mediacorp channel 5, a singapore television channel telecasts a programme called “True Files” every sunday at 10 pm. As the name itself says, the main objective of the program is to bring to light some true incidents that happened in the city. The anchor of the program talks about …
The Andy Griffith Show: Crime-Free Mayberry TV Show
Music opens The Andy Griffith Show: Crime-Free Mayberry from November 1961, the show’s second season. I love hearing the sing along moments or just any time like this one when Griffith’s Andy Taylor plays the guitar and lets out with some song or another. This one is …
Family Guy
Family guy is a cartoon show. It is rated M 15+. The show is about this family, and a dog.
Peter Griffin, is the father, who is pretty lazy and bigish. He does have a good heart when he wants to. He tends to tell everyone what he thinks right …
The Spongebob Christmas Special
OK, now Christmas season must be here. My daughter and I just finished watching the Spongebob Christmas Special for about the 50th time since it first came out in 2000.
The episode is actually quite funny so it is definitely worth watching. Bikini Bottom learns about Christmas for the very …
Criminal Minds Season 1 Episode 17 A Real Rain
That is a good example for a well written episode and many people would agree with it. In this episode the BAU team travels to New York to help solve a case of a serial killer who does not go after the same type of victim. It is unusual for …
Devious Maids (tv series)
I discovered a lot of television series last year, but one of them that remains my favourite is “Devious Maids”. This is despite its very close resemblance to one of those daytime soap operas.
I would watch “Devious Maids” every Sunday night when it would air on Lifetime, and I …
Ghost Hunters: Houses of the Holy
This episode of Ghost Hunters “Houses of the Holy” was somewhat interesting but not because they found anything overly impressive.
I think the best part of this episode, which involves the TAPS team investigating the home of a religious leader, is the discussion of how religious beliefs and the paranormal …
Mercy
Mercy is a new hospital drama on NBC on Wednesday nights at 8. I started watching it from the pilot, expecting a half decent medical show. I was pleasantly surprised. The characters are very appealing, the medicine is realistic, and the plotline is dynamic enough to …
Beast Wars - Maximal, No More
Beast Wars - Maximal, No More is one of my favorite episodes of the series, in part because it focuses heavily on Dinobot, but also because it is a well handled episode that is enjoyable to watch time and again. This episode serves as a follow-up to the events …
The Choir: Unsung Town: Ep 2 TV Show
The best thing about The Choir: Unsung Town is that the second episode actually had music, really good music, and that’s why it was fun to watch. Gareth Malone sang and was good, and individuals in this choir in the making were also awesome. I just thought …
Medium: It’s a Wonderful Death TV Show
Medium: It’s a Wonderful Death is another show that had a very nice season ender. The show narrowly escaped cancellation, or so it’s believed as of this writing. Actually, while I like this show, one thing I’ve consistently thought about it is that Patricia Arquette’s character of …
Monk
It’s been a while since they had a fresh new episode of Monk and I was really impressed with the fact they got Howie Mandel to play the role of a cult leader. But, overall, this was a bit of a disappointment. I guess I expected a lot more …
Star Trek: The Time Trap TV Show
I absolutely love the concept behind the animated program, Star Trek: The Time Trap. This 1973 series did a lot of shows that built on some of the live action shows, but they also had several, like this one, which were quite original to the Star Trek universe. …
The Complete Prisoner DVD set
The Complete Prisoner DVD set for The Prisoner includes 10 DVDs, which covers the entire season of the science fiction series. This unique show came from the mind of series star, Patrick McGoohan. His Number Six character has been imprisoned in a mysterious place called The Village. …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Marionettes, Inc. TV Show
From May 1985, The Ray Bradbury Theater: Marionettes, Inc. was an interesting piece of entertainment. Author Ray Bradbury does the opening introduction, but it’s not actually introductions like Rod Serling did with The Twilight Zone or Boris Karloff did with The Veil. Instead, his opening introduction is …
Dancing with the Stars
I think Dancing with the Stars with the stars is an OK show. I can watch it but not all the the time. As you can guess by the title of the show it’s about dancing. I think the dancing that goes on during Dancing with the Stars is very …
Martha: The Martha Stewart Show: 9-14-10 TV Show
I’m just not a Martha fan, but for various reasons I’m having to watch a few episodes, which is why I’m reviewing them. This second show of this latest version of her show was from September 14, 2010. This year, her show is the lead off for …
Criminal Minds: Roadkill
Criminal Minds is a complex show. It’s one you can’t easily multi-task through. It requires you to be present as the case develops; that is, unless you just want to go from the crime to the bad guy and don’t care about how it came about. …
The X-Files: Season 1, Episode 1: Pilot
Much like “The Real Ghostbusters”, I’ve had the complete X-Files series on DVD for some time, yet never got around to sitting down and watching them. So, much like with the aforementioned cartoon, I decided to give it a watch through now.
This was a frustrating show …
The Vampire Diaries Season 2 Episode 1: “The Return”
When I last saw the little town of Mystic Falls Virginia last season of The Vampire Diaries, the townspeople were trying to pick up the pieces after a vampire unveiling turned sour, killing not only vampires but humans as well.
Elena Gilbert had just saved her vampire boyfriend Stefan and …
Neon Genesis Evangelion episode 14
Well, what do we have here? A episode that provides an summary of the last episodes up till this point. This is the elusive recap episode that every series has for reasons that are beyond even me. Well, at least Neon Genesis Evangelion makes it in an original format. …
Alias Smith and Jones: Alias Smith and Jones (pilot)
Alias Smith and Jones is a lighthearted western that was very much like the theatrical super film, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, which I also loved. In the TV show, Pete Duel is Paul Newman; that is, Hannibal Heyes is the equivalent to Butch Cassidy. That makes …
HBO
HBO is not like it used to be. They used to have new movies on all the time. They still have a lot to choose from, a wide variety of movies. Though a lot of the movies aren’t that new. I haven’t had movie channels in a long time …
Neon Genesis Evangelion episode 16
Now as we return to the standard Angel of the week formula, this episode has decided to stand up like a massive glowing neon sign with the writers name: Hideaki Anno, declaring that the old formula of Angel of the week will be replaced with a new shocking twist …
The Simpsons: My Big Fat Geek Wedding
One of the funnier episodes of The Simpsons has to be “My Big Fat Geek Wedding.”
This episode has Principal Skinner finally getting married to Edna only to have cold feet the night before the wedding. But, to everyone’s surprise, it isn’t Skinner who chickens out at the last second, …
Boston Legal
One of the television series which I used to hear about regularly was a series running on ABC named Boston Legal. However, when it was going on I did not have the time to watch it. Therefore what I ended up having to do was watch some of the …
Ghost Hunter’s International: Gate to Hell
The more I watch the show Ghost Hunter’s International, the more I find myself not liking the show all that much. Last night’s episode “Gate to Hell” was another example as to why.
The case itself is interesting. They visited a castle with no strategic importance at all and was …
House TV Episode: Unwritten
Well, I ended up liking Monday night’s episode of House, “Unwritten” a little more than I thought I would. But, I have to be honest, I’m still not as big of a fan of this series as I used to be.
The case itself wasn’t terrible. House is treating his …
High School Musical 3 (2008)
It was my first time watching the series of “High School Musical” movie and probably why so I can provide a beter perspective as to whether this movie is good or not.
Let’s review on the strengths of the movie first. The movie had really good visuals - bright …
Sea Hunt: Amigo TV Show
From March 1961, Sea Hunt: Amigo was an interesting episode that I liked but have an issue with as far as the plot goes. Deep sea diving expert Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) takes a job in San Carlos, Mexico to help extract fossils from a seemingly very difficult …
Naruto Episode 17 Subbed
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 …
Roseanne Season Five
The fifth season of Roseanne was one of the last really great seasons of the show. It was before things got too wacky and the show was still grounded in reality a little bit. I thought the only unrealistic thing was when Roseanne, Jackie, and Nancy opened a restaurant …
Law and Order Special Victims Unit “Disrobed” Episode
I thought this particular Law and Order SPecial VIctims Unit episode was a bit similar to the episode entitled “Payback” in the sense that it made some aspects of the trusted AMerican law a bit questionable to me in terms of what was wrong and what was right. ALso, …
BET’s Hell Date
Hell Date from BET is another reality show that tries to pair couples on a date. Here is the situation…have you ever been on a date with someone that in the beginning you thought that all was going well, you meshed and you actually think that you have a …
The Two Coreys: Episode 1.7 - The Two Coreys
The seventh episode is a season highlight and is quite amusing in many ways. Haim basically corners Feldman into a place that he doesn’t want to be and Feldman has no choice but to go along with it or else he’s royally screwed - and it would all be …
Stargate SG-1: Memento
The Prometheus finally goes on her shakedown cruise in Stargate SG-1: Memento. There are actually elements of this season six episode that I like, notably John Novak as Colonel William Ronson, the commander of the Prometheus. He and Jack clash in the opening scenes, and it’s pretty …
Justice League Unlimited Season One: Epilogue
“Epilogue” is the 26th episode of season one of Justice League Unlimited. However, if you expect it to wrap up the loose ends from “Divided We Fall,” you will be sorely disappointed. The episode is basically a tribute to Batman and tells us how great Batman is …
Doctor Who 50th Anniversary [The Day of the Doctor]
Let me tell you about the best T.V. series that has ever existed. First of all, Doctor Who is, as you could call it, ancient. It is either one of the first or actually the first science fiction series of all time. The main character is an alien that …
Criminal Minds: Penelope
I finally caught this episode on the ION Channel night before last. I missed it the first time it came on which really ticked me off. Which is funny, since I had never really watched Criminal Minds before. So why was I upset? It was …
The Twilight Zone: Mr. Bevis TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Mr. Bevis is one of those shows that teaches us all to be happy with who we are and what we have. Actually, this premise is used again in a later episode that starred Carol Burnett. I actually like the Burnett one better, but …
M*A*S*H: Major Fred C. Dobbs
In M*A*S*H: Major Fred C. Dobbs, after Hawkeye Pierce(Alan Alda) and Trapper John (Wayne Rogers) get revenge on Frank Burns (Larry Linville) for degrading Nurse Ginger Bayliss (Odessa Cleveland) in the operating room, Frank demands a transfer. The funny scene here is when Hawkeye and Trapper John arrange for …
The Twilight Zone: The Sixteen Millimeter Shrine TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Sixteen Millimeter Shrine, episode 4 of the series, was the first to deal with people out of place with the times. It’s a theme that was carried out in other episodes, often involving stage, screen, or television. This episode focused on a …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Long Night
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Long Night is definitely one of the best episodes from the first season of this western. I really enjoyed it. It kept me guessing and was exciting. I honestly can’t say that the heavy last minute, and it really was …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Fossil Men TV Show
From January 1967, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Fossil Men was another monster show, and this one was among the most incredulous. The Seaview comes into contact with a rock man while submerged. They investigate by having Kowalski (Del Monroe) and a new man, …
