Ghost Hunters Series (television program)
First and foremost, I must admit that I have somewhat of a minor obsession with all things supernatural. That being said, this is one of the few television shows that captures some of the aspects of ghost hunting that I find most interesting. This pair of Roto-Rooter …
Family Guy: Stewie B. Goode
I was watching the Family Guy episode Stewie B. Goode last night for probably about the dozenth time and I have to say it is still a somewhat funny episode.
There are two main plot points to this one. First, Peter gets an opportunity to complain about just about everything …

Whoopi: Sins of the Sister TV Show
The Whoopi show’s last episode was Sins of the Sister, which aired on April 20, 2004. The show started out strong, but it had some mistakes in its makeup that made it more of an average comedy, and it just didn’t work in the long run. I …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Fight at Adobe Wells TV show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Fight at Adobe Wells wasn’t one of my favorite outings for this particular western show. The half-hour didn’t flow for me. In many ways, it just felt like another story with nothing special in it to even make it memorable.
Richard Boone’s Paladin …
Kenja no Ai (aka A Saga Love, 4-episode Japanese TV Series)
When I saw the trailer on the movie channel, I was immediately captured by its dark and mesmerizing plot. So I didn’t wait till the weekends for it to be aired on the movie channel but when online to watch it instead.
This is one of the most interesting and captivating …
Dawn French’s Girls Who Do Comedy

MacGyver: Blood Brothers
MacGyver: Blood Brothers is the episode that explains why MacGyver doesn’t like and refuses to use guns. Recently, I read the impetus behind this story. Apparently, as a youngster, series star Richard Dean Anderson shot at a bird and killed it. He wasn’t intending for that …
The Simpsons: Marge Gamer
I finally got to see the Simpsons episode “Marge Gamer” last night and thought it was hilarious.
The whole storyline about Lisa taking up soccer and then getting mad when Homer, who is serving as a referee, ejects her for faking fouls was a bit lame. But, I loved the …
Subway latest Ad
Ok in this subway advertisement steven’s parent caught him sneaking back into his room with a Subway Combo. Care to guess what the punch line was? Well if you guessed it and I think you did, they took it for themselves. At one point in time I would …
Are you Smarter than a 5th Grader
When the game show Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader came out, I didn’t think it would be any good. And, because of that, I didn’t watch it.
However, I’ve been seeing some re-runs of the show on some of our local channels and have to confess, it is …

Dr. Franklin’s mentor comes aboard. The reunion is tainted, however, when some ancient alien artifacts that he brought aboard come to life and takeover his assistant, who proceeds to go on a rampage, killing several people aboard the space station.

Family Guy: Peter, Peter Caviar Eater

Stargate SG-1: Prometheus
Stargate SG-1: Prometheus is one of the wildcards I’ve mentioned. I kind of like this one, even with the annoying constant smiling of Jonas Quinn.
Earth’s brand new spaceship, the Prometheus, is about ready for its trial run. That’s when four hijackers make their move, successfully gaining control …
Goong (Princess Hours)

The Twilight Zone: A Quality of Mercy TV Show
For whatever reason, war stories in this science fiction series just don’t work for me. I enjoy war dramas as a rule, but the stories are too unpleasant for me, I think. The topic of discussion here is The Twilight Zone: A Quality of Mercy, a show …
Highway Patrol: Psycho Killer TV Show
Psycho Killer was the 30th show of Highway Patrol’s third season and aired in April 1958. It’s an unusual subject for this show. Though characters have been killed, this was a case of a serial killer, and they showed the lead in to a third killing. …
Criminal Minds Season 6, Episode 2: “JJ”

Centennial: The Winds of Death
Centennial: The Winds of Death is really an intense and emotional episode of this very long mini-series based on the novel by James Michener. It’s one that I think a lot of people can even identify with today. It’s almost a century old take on today’s home …
M*A*S*H: Kim
I’d forgotten about M*A*S*H: Kim, but it’s actually one of the most endearing episodes of the entire series. It’s a show that lets Wayne Rogers be the standout, something that really didn’t happen all that often. The Kim episode gives his Trapper John McIntyre character depth as …
South Park: Margereen
This episode is one of the few truly good newer episodes, as it involves many different characters, all acting the way a bunch of nine year olds should probably act. Too often, the writers of South Park treat their characters as though they are grown, and while this may …
Legend: Clueless in San Francisco
This eleventh episode of Legend takes Ernest Pratt and Janus Bartok to San Francisco, which just happens to be where Pratt’s mother resides. I’m not sure, but this may be one of the few shows where a character played by Richard Dean Anderson actually has a living mother. …
Avatar: The Last Airbender (cartoon)

Star Trek: The Next Generation - A Matter of Honor
This second season episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation - “A Matter of Honor” is an episode that is quite fun to watch, although it does have its flaws. This is the show’s second Klingon-focused episode, and like the first Klingon episode, this episode excels - at least, …
Highway Patrol: Narcotics TV Show
This review will cover the episode called Narcotics, from the police drama, Highway Patrol. It was the 36th outing of the second season. If only they made that many shows today. Back in the day, seasons were long.

Gilligan’s Island - Meet the Meteor TV Show

Touching Evil: Love Lies Bleeding
All good things come to an end, and apparently that’s what happened in Touching Evil: Love Lies Bleeding. I’ve said from the beginning that the part of the storyline I really loved was David Creegan’s relationship with his ex-wife, Holly, and their two daughters, Samantha and Lily. …

Emerald Point N.A.S., the 11th of 22 episodes, has some odd reactions in it compared to the attitudes we’ve seen in previous episodes.

Swift Justice with Nancy Grace (TV show)
One of my latest favorite shows is called Swift Justice. It is not your typical court show. It is much more casual than other shows like Judge Judy or Judge Alex. This show has heart, and the hostess is no nonsense.
