John Doe: Shock to the System TV show
I do like the opening scene from John Doe: Shock to the System because it keeps the continuity alive of John wanting to be challenged. He doesn’t want to know everything, and like an earlier outing where he multi-tasked in a chaotic frenzy until there was something he …
Sony Bravia HDTV
Ever since our old TV started to show signs of breaking down I had been thinking for a replacement. I finally decided to buy a new one last month, a Sony Bravia HDTV. It was a 22 inch flat LCD, model KLV BX300. The original price was 1000 Saudi …
Marriage Ref
Sometimes I wonder just how ridiculous television can become, and one of those times was when watching the first episode of Marriage Ref. Perhaps it’s better referred to as a preview episode, a special 30 minute edition that aired after the closing ceremonies of the 2010 Vancouver Winter …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Something Blue
Ok, I’m actually a bit confused about what was happening in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “Something Blue.”
I get Willow is trying to cast a spell to make her get over the pain of Oz cheating on her then leaving town. And, because she has a bit too …

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 48 begins with Lan Fan literally tearing Gluttony apart with her new automail arm, she and Ling constantly attack Gluttony, killing him repeatedly while Fu explains why they’re here and Ed asks Fu for assistance against Pride.
This episode can only be summarized with one …
Stargate SG1: Avalon Pts 1 and 2
This two parter introduced us to many new characters at SG1 while losing Richard Dean Anderson as General O’Neill. Even though he made a cameo during these episodes, it was not the same as having him around full time.
Viewers got to meet Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell played by …
Buffy TV show
I saw an old episode of Buffy today but just because I was doing something on my computer and the TV was on so I gave it a look every now and then.
I didn’t like this show when I was younger and I didn’t liek it today either. Before …
Dora’s Christmas Carol
I’ve heard about Dora the Explorer for quite a while, and I’ve seen the character’s image here and there, but I’ve never actually seen an episode of the animated show; that is, until I flicked on Dora’s Christmas Carol over the holidays. I just really wanted to watch …
Supernatural TV Series - Season 1
I don’t think I would believe you if you said that you haven’t heard anything at all about Supernatural. It is definitely one of the most popular TV shows at the moment and personally, I am a big fan of the show.
The show is about two brothers - Sam …
Bones: Double Trouble in the Panhandle
The last few episodes of the show Bones have been a bit dull compared to what the series previously offered. So, I was pleasantly surprised last night when the show returned to TV with an episode entitled “Double Trouble in the Panhandle.”
In my opinion, everything about this episode was …

Masquerade: Spying Down to Rio
Masquerade was winding down its single-season run when the episode Spying Down to Rio aired on April 27, 1984. While I love the series, which is about an American intelligence agency making use of regular citizens to achieve their goals and accomplish a mission, this particular show …
Adam-12: Pick-up
There’s an exciting spark to Adam-12: Pick-up from season four, and it’s all because of a wonderful guest star appearance by Barbara Hale. Looking like the beautiful Della Street of Perry Mason, here she plays Mrs. Jessup, a mother called to the station to deal with her teenage …
IRT Deadliest Roads: Death is a Blind Corner Away TV Show
IRT Deadliest Roads: Death is a Blind Corner Away was certainly a hold your breath hour. The thing is that we know nothing fatal is ever going to happen. I just don’t see this series or any version of Ice Road Truckers showing a catastrophe that involved …
Doctor Who: Season 4, Episode 13: The Stolen Earth
Wow, just wow. That’s all that can be said after watching this episode. Doctor Who finales tend to be larger in scale, but this completely blew everything else out of the water by a long shot, a looong shot. Just when you think that the show …
CHiPs: The Sheik
From November 1978, CHiPs: The Sheik is from the second season and stars, as always, Erik Estrada and Larry Wilcox. The fun of this particular outing is guest star Kario Salem, who plays the title role. Actually, he’s the son of a very wealthy man, and he …
Jeremiah: Things Left Unsaid: Part 2
Jeremiah: Things Left Unsaid: Part 2 is the season-ending episode for Jeremiah, a surprisingly good science fiction series that starred Luke Perry and Malcolm-Jamal Warner. Neither of these two are favorites of mine, and when I began watching the DVD set that a friend gave me, I was …

Full House TV series
Full House is about a funny love-story of two persons having different lifestyles with totally different personalities. The main characters were Han Ji-Eun (Song Hye-Kyu) and an actor Lee Young-Jae (Rain).
It actually had a funny start where the two characters in an airplane. Han Ji-Eun was new to flying …
The X-Files Fight Club Episode
I thought this was one of the most memorable X-Files episodes. It guest starred a famous comedian Kathy Griffin, and it was the 159th episode of the television series. It was also the 20th episode of season 7 of “The X-Files”. It was memorable because I found that the …

Star Wars The Clone Wars: Shadow of Malevolence (episode 3)
This is the middle episode of the trilogy about the Separatist spaceship Malevolence. Out of the three episodes, I thought this one was the weakest and that’s why I rated it a “7″. It shows what a monster General Grievous really is when he decides to attack a Jedi …
Unorthodox : Law & Order SVU
OK, I’ll admit, this was an interesting episode for the most part, but I do have to question exactly why the producers of this show went out of their way to attack the culture of orthodox Jews when the rapist turned out to be a child; not one of …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: And So Died Riabouchinska TV Show
Oh no. It’s another story about a ventriloquist and his wooden doll, this one a female. I really don’t like these stories. I recently watched all of The Twilight Zone and there were several shows of this theme there. Then there was one on Mrs. …
So You Think You Can Dance
So You Think You Can Dance, a “reality tv show” created by the minds behind American Idol and shown on Fox, is by far the most entertaining show in the new millennium. Aside from the not-so-quality entertainment acts sometimes brought in for elimination night, this show is family friendly …
Star Trek: The Ultimate Computer TV Show
Definitely one of the best of the three year run, Star Trek: The Ultimate Computer is terrific. It’s one I’ve never forgotten and it’s a show that has a lot of layers to it. The basic plot is that Richard Daystrom (William Marshall), a one time wunderkind …
Babylon 5: Season 1, Episode 7: Mind War
Now this is more in line with what I’ve come to expect from Babylon 5. The story is engaging and there are several angles to the story. While the episode could’ve gone with the traditional “psi cops are good guys trying to catch the rogue villain” route, …

M*A*S*H 30th Anniversary Reunion
In 2002, the M*A*S*H 30th Anniversary Reunion aired, reuniting the majority of cast and crew members for the first time since the groundbreaking series had gone off the air. Mike Farrell did the introduction at the very beginning and then it went to a wonderful, casual discussion with …
Stargate SG-1: Out of Mind
Stargate SG-1: Out of Mind is the final episode of the second season, and it’s the first part of a cliff hanger. It brings with it a tragic loss. I mourn it to this day. Alas, it was the end of the shag, of Michael Shanks’ …

Curb Your Enthusiasm
For those who haven’t seen it, Curb Your Enthusiasm is an HBO TV series from the co-creator of Seinfeld, Larry David. The series in fact centres around Larry David, or at least a warped semi biographical version of Larry David. This is one of the features that seperates …
Star Trek: The Omega Glory TV Show
I have always liked Star Trek: The Omega Glory, primarily for that big speech Kirk makes towards the end. I love the Kirk orations. They’re so patriotic.
Once again, the catalyst is a missing spaceship. In this case, it’s the Exeter. Actually, the ship and the …

When I think of Wife Swap, the word that immediately comes into my head is WOW. I’m amazed at the way some people are living their life and through Wife Swap I have been able to see that.
Wife Swap is about two families who live in different ways …

The Middle show
The Middle is a new show on ABC this fall. At the time of this writing, there have been six episodes shown. I have seen every one so far - some multiple times - so I think I have a good enough idea to write this review so far.
The …
