Full House Season 2
I fully admit that I own every season of Full House on DVD, even though special features are sadly lacking. The second season is when the show began picking up, and when it started to find its footing.
As much as I love the show, even I have to …
MacGyver: Hellfire
MacGyver: Hellfire is another episode that I really enjoy. There are only four characters in it, five if you want to include the helicopter pilot who flies Mac to the remote location where his friends are. As a result, it ends up being a show that is …
The Flintstones: Reel Trouble
I upgraded my Direct TV package yesterday and, as a result, was able to get a channel that was showing Flintstone’s cartoons. The one that was on last night was called Reel Trouble and was actually kind of cute.
Fred is obsessed with taking pictures of Pebbles so Wilma makes …
Highway Patrol: Dead Hunter TV Show
Highway Patrol’s third season of police drama surrounding the California Highway Patrol continued with its tenth episode entitled Dead Hunter. This show aired in December 1957, so it’s vintage television for sure. What’s good about it is that it’s both out there on the internet to be …
Justice League Unlimited Season One: The Ties That Bind
“The Ties That Bind” is a pretty bland episode of Justice League Unlimited, season one. The episode features Miracle Man, Big Barda and the Flash. Mister Miracle struck me as uninteresting, and Big Barda just seems to be a rip-off of Wonder Woman. Plus, the main villians …
CHiPs: Green Thumb Burglar
CHiPs: Green Thumb Burglar has some really good moments in it. Again, this show isn’t about premium writing that is going to win an Emmy. It’s about entertainment, enjoying a few laughs, and promoting the California Highway Patrol in a positive light. What makes it work …
The Office: Dunder Mifflin Infinity
In the second episode of the fourth season Ryan returns for the first time since he has been promoted to corporate and it is every bit as awkward as you might expect, but not quite as funny. Perhaps the humor of simple awareness has begun to grow stale on …
A Taste for Death - Part 3
There were a few good moments in A Taste for Death - Part 3 as Inspector Adam Dalgliesh (Roy Marsden) continued to try and solve the circumstances surrounding the death of Sir Paul Berowne, who had died in a church.
The most fun portion was a scene in Dalgliesh’s office …
American Idol - Results 5/6/09
Paula Abdul sang her new single, I’m Here for the Music, early on in tonight’s results show for American Idol. I’m not a fan of hers really, but it was nice to see her do something besides offer nonsensical remarks about contestants. I’m just not into the …
Breakthrough with Tony Robbins Episode 4
Breakthrough with Tony Robbins Episode 4 deals with Scott and Mandy Smith who are dealing with Mandy’s panic attacks after their daughter died for a short time after she accidentally ran into the back of the car with her go cart.
This was a very sad episode because of …
Gilligan’s Island - St. Gilligan and The Dragon TV Show
Here we have chaos again. Chaos everywhere. The Castaways split apart into two groups, women and men. The men think the women will learn a lesson of humility and that women should be subservient to men. This kind of made me a little upset the kind of mental thought …
Psych TV Episode: And Down the Stretch Comes Murder
Everyone is still in bed this morning so I decided to watch a re-run of Psych that I have not seen before called And Down the Stretch Comes Murder.
I wasn’t sure what to think of this episode at first but it ended up being pretty entertaining and I definitely …
Lucky Star show
Lucky Star is a Japanese animation that was recently aired and it’s popularity continues to grow. It’s about a bunch of Japanese female students and their daily lives - one is a straight A student, one is an absent mind student, one is an otaku (anime freak), and one …
Emergency!: Cook’s Tour
Emergency!: Cook’s Tour is a fun little show. When I watch it, it’s not really any one story that stands out, but it’s more the feel of the firehouse that is the heart of the show. Fire department cooking is almost legendary, and this show deals with …
Stargate SG1: Rite Of Passage Season 5, Episode 6
This episode revolved around Cassandra, or Cassie, the young girl that Dr. Frasier adopted and the only survivor of P8X-987 from four years ago. On her 16th birthday, Cassie collapses due to what Janet thinks is a retrovirus from her planet.
Daniel finds a video of SG-7’s time on …
Bizare Foods with Andrew Zimmern (Series on the Travel Channel)
The travel channel show, Bizarre Foods with Andre Zimmern, is too great a show to break down into merely one episode. Besides, Andrew Zimmern does the exact same thing in every episode just in different places all over the world. I would have thought that that would be boring …
The Fall Guy: The Human Torch TV Show
One thing about The Fall Guy, it has an old school opening that you just don’t see much anymore. The full theme plus standard intro in this first season lasts almost three minutes. In this era of 10 second, title only spots, this feels like forever. …
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 …
America’s Top Sleuths TV Show
This is a special from the Sleuth Channel that was based on viewer votes online. It was billed as America’s Top 25 Sleuths, though this segment only referred to the top 10, giving the results from the tenth place sleuth to the first place. The narrator doesn’t …
The Two Coreys: Episode 2.1 - Showdown
The start of the second season takes a more realistic approach to the show compared to the first season’s seemingly scripted and light-hearted attitude towards everything. It’s six months after the first season and the two Coreys haven’t spoken to each other up until now. This episode begins with …
That Girl: The Hi-Jack and the Mighty
Arlene Golonka is back again as a guest star on That Girl. She’s been on one episode each season, always as a different character. This time her name is Terry, and she’s a stewardess who is allowing Ann Marie to travel on the plane with her and …

The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Angie Dickinson TV Show
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast roasted the Woman of the Hour, Angie Dickinson, in this show taped in front of an audience in Las Vegas. Dickinson had one of the better dais groupings of the show. She looked beautiful, of course. She truly has been a …

So, Lex Luther, the smartest man in the world is in jail, and they have him in an armored car with numerous police escort. He of course is going to try to escape but, the smartest man in the world, doesn’t use some gadget or trick, he overpowers …
Sea Hunt: The Living Fossil TV Show
Sea Hunt’s 15th episode of its third season on the air was called The Living Fossil. Airing back in April 1960, this episode was a little unique in that it focused on deep sea diver Mike Nelson (aptly portrayed by Lloyd Nelson) working with others on a special …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 9: Look Homeward, Ray
After two rather strong, plot driven, Straczynski scripted episodes, we take a break and get a more character driven episode. Ray gets invited back to his hometown to be the grand marshal at a parade in honor of his work.
Things seem to start off on a …
Trinity Blood episode 20
In the splendor of jolly good old post-nuclear great Britton, now known as the kingdom of Albion, something goes terribly astray. Doesn’t it always, on the apocalyptic horror vampire show known as Trinity Blood? Episode twenty: “Throne of Roses: Kingdom of the north” is a tale of politics and …
Law & Order Criminal Intent: Enemy Within
My wife and I watched a season one episode of Law & Order Criminal Intent last night; Enemy Within, that turned out to be a decent episode.
This is, of course, one of the first episodes of the series and involves Goren and Eames having to investigate an arson at …

Sam, Chris and Ray are talking about Maria. The two men teas Sam for sleeping with her and Sam says to Ray that he practically threw him into her arms because he was always saying how sexy she was but he never told him she was Gene’s daughter. Maria …
Family Guy - Halloween on Spooner Street
While Season 9 of Family Guy has been sorely lacking in the department of humor and entertainment, Halloween on Spooner Street was one of the season’s episodes where humor was alive and well in the Family Guy universe. The humor that Family Guy fans have come to know and …
Forever (TV Show)
Forever is TV show on ABC, that I decided that I would sit down and watch. Given it had an interesting plot, of a man who works as an New York city M.E, but is actually two hundred years old, and is trying to find the secret to his …
The Forgotten - Diamond Jane
In this second series of this new ABC drama which stars Christian Slater, I find myself more into the story of the dead body than I was the regular characters who make up what is called The Forgotten Network. This network helps the police to identify dead bodies …
MacGyver: Friends
This show seems a little early, in that it would feel more appropriate as a fourth or fifth season show, but that said, it’s still a good episode. MacGyver: Friends is actually a clips show. Producing an action series like MacGyver is costly. All those explosions …
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 …
Dexter Season 6 Episode 1
I have been waiting quite impatiently for the new season of Dexter. It is one of my most favorite shows of all times and it always keeps me on the edge of my seat. It has remarkable writing and amazing actors to play the written words.
In the previous season, …
Nurse Jackie Season 2 Episode 1 “Comfort Food”
Nurse Jackie season one was a great tv show with a premise different from other shows. It is about a nurse who abuses prescription drugs and has an affair with a co worker who is unaware she is married. Nurse Jackie lives a different life at …

Frank Parker is a NSA agent who works for a secret government project called backstep. When something bad happens he is sent back in time to try to fix thinks. In this episode Olga, Hooter and Franks are in a military base 600ft underground when a neutron bomb explodes …
The Lazarus Man: The Palace of Dreams
I like the voiceovers which begin these The Lazarus Man episodes. They let us know Lazarus’ state of mind and what he’s thinking at the moment. It’s a bit more than a basic who and what monologue.
This episode is called The Palace of Dreams and it is an …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Survivors
Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Survivors is one of my favorite episodes of the entire series. The reason it is one of my favorite episodes is because this episode really has a great deal going for it: an well-crafted and intriguing mystery, some exciting ship to ship …
MTV’s The X Effect
The X Effect by MTV is a reality show that tries to either prove that their are still unresolved feelings for ones ex or to prove that people can be very unfaithful in their relationships once they are re-introduced to their ex.
A typical episode of The X Effect is …
The Virginian: Silver Image TV Show
The second episode of The Virginian’s seventh season on the air from September 1968 was called Silver Image, and it was far better than I thought it was going to be. The show surrounded a widow of a rancher in Medicine Bow who was in the middle of …
Power Marketing : Upright Citizens Brigade
Power Marketing is probably one of the best remembered of the Upright Citizens Brigade episodes. There is, after all, a lot of memorable stuff in this one (including the whole pennies thing). My favorite part of the episode is actually the Power Marketing sketch, for which the …
That Girl: Don’t Just Do Something, Stand There
In the revised pilot for the That Girl comedy series, struggling actress Ann Marie meets magazine writer Don Hollinger. From that meeting comes a highly successful, humorous, and thoughtful comedy that thrilled millions for five seasons.
Played by Marlo Thomas, the daughter of Danny Thomas, Ann Marie is an …
Bored to Death Season 1 Episode 1
I have to say that the episode and the TV show itself really exceeded my expectations. The only reason why I watched it, was the name of the show- Bored to Death. It seemed so strange and unusual; I got really curious and just had to take a …
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig Episode 8
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig episode 8 has Section 9 investigating the Individual 11 case; they are split into teams and separately try to figure out what’s going on.
This was a pretty good episode and I liked it a lot, it’s nice to see that …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Black Sheep TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Black Sheep was of interest to me, primarily for guest star Patrick Wayne, who is one of the sons of the great John Wayne. I met Patrick a couple of times at functions, so I get a kick out of seeing him on …
Stargate SG1: The Nox
