That Girl: An Uncle Herbert for All Seasons
While Joe Flynn, most famous on television for portrayal Captain Binghamton on McHale’s Navy, is a fine actor, his performance in That Girl: An Uncle Herbert for All Seasons left me a little flat. I doubt that it was totally Flynn’s fault. It was the character that …
Red Dwarf: Future Echoes
In this second episode of the classic British Sitcom Red Dwarf, Dave Lister (Craig Charles) and his holographic and not so chum, Arnold Rimmer (Chris Barrie) find themselves experiencing some strange occurences on the lost in deep space and drifting mining ship Red Dwarf. Suddenly the crew is experiencing …
Curb Your Enthusiasm…7×01: Marty Funkhauser’s Crazy Sister
Larry David and company make a welcome return to our screens with the premiere episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm’s seventh season.
On the surface, things seem pretty typical. Larry once again finds himself at odds with the modern world and all who inhabit it. He finds himself pulled up …
Emergency!: Brushfire
One of my all time favorite episodes of Emergency! is Brushfire from season one. It’s John Gage’s first brush fire, and it brings with it some neat entertainment.
My favorite sub-plot is the one concerning a young boy who breaks his arm in the fire, but he’s …
24: Redemption
Even though the new season doesn’t start until January, viewers were treated to a 2 hour 24 “movie” that sets up the plot for the next season.
My memory of the last season is rather fuzzy. I have a vague idea of what happened but when the …
Grey’s Anatomy
When Grey’s Anatomy first came on screen I was hooked. Maybe it was the fact I was watching people so passionate about their careers that they put everything else on the sideburner that made it so interesting.
Grey’s Anatomy is about a team of doctors at a teaching hospital …
Stargate SG-1: Off the Grid
In my last review for the episode called Ethon of Stargate SG-1, I mentioned that one of the reasons that shows in the final two seasons of the series were poor was because of the lack of attention to SG-1 as a result of the powers that be working …
Fantasia For Real
I liked Fantasia when she was on American Idol. I was really rooting for her and hoped that she would make it really far. When she won, I thought that things would look up for her. And I was right. But then I realized …
Cover Her Face - Part 1
Cover Her Face was another tale of Chief Superintendent Adam Dalgliesh. Apparently, that’s a grade below Inspector, which is how I’m used to seeing the Dalgliesh character. Unfortunately, I’m not watching these television adaptations in order, so I keep getting the story at various points. I’ve …
John Doe: Save as… John Doe TV show
Dominic Purcell continues on in the title role of John Doe in the episode called Save as… John Doe. The opening begins with a blonde woman named Paulette Chambers, who picks up a briefcase of some importance. With her is her German Shepherd dog. This sets …
The Singing Office
The Singing Office is a fun little show on The Learning Channel. The hosts are Joey Fatone and Mel B, two performers who owe a lot of their current success to Dancing with the Stars. Joey’s having a blast with his return to popularity, while the Spice …
The Twilight Zone: The Chaser TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Chaser is an okay outing for this science fiction series. I don’t particularly love it, but I don’t dislike it, either. It’s one of the few roles I can somewhat tolerate John McIntire in. He plays a mysterious professor who sales …
Intervention
On the A & E network, there is a really interesting program called “Intervention” on Monday nights. The premise of the show is to have families that have someone who has fallen prey to addiction of one sort or another, gather together and plan an intervention with the …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Coffin TV Show
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Coffin is about two brothers who aren’t the best of friends. We see them together, disagreeing. At first, we wonder if the entire story is just going to be about their relationship. It is, but it’s broader that than. Also, interestingly, …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Lost Bomb TV Show
From December 1966 comes this 13th episode of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea’s third season on TV. The outing is entitled The Lost Bomb. Earlier in the season, shows had extra focus on two of the more visible crewman, Kowalski (Del Monroe) and Patterson (Paul …
Family Guy TV Episode: Road to the Multiverse
Synopsis: Stewie builds a device that can transport him and Brian between dimensions. However, while traveling, the device seems to malfunction and they are transported at random instead and need to find their way home.
What I liked about this episode: I think the best part of this episode is …
Cosby Show
If you are looking for a great way to pass a few hours, either go to your local library or find some reruns of the cosby show. This is one of the best television shows to ever be aired on television, it had humor, romance, kids, rich people and …
Wagon Train: The Molly Kincaid Story
The Molly Kincaid Story was the first color episode of Wagon Train. It was also the first ninety minute episode of the very popular western. Westerns were very much ‘in’ during the sixties, and when color came into play, the executives decided to go big with their …
The Lazarus Man: The Conspirator
Episode 5 of The Lazarus Man is an episode called The Conspirator. It opens with Lazarus walking into a saloon where the men are discussing a conspiracy theory concerning the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. The men speculate that the bodyguards had to be in on it. …
Walking Dead TV series
I really like horror movies and this particular genre about zombies is also really interesting to me. Having this in mind I became interested in the show mainly because of the storyline which is about a group of survivors from a zombie apocalypse …
The Fall Guy: No Way Out TV Show
From January 1982, The Fall Guy: No Way Out had a fairly good opening sequence. Though the main story is always about Colt Seavers (Lee Majors) chasing down some bail jumper, we most always get a fun stunt segment to remind us that he’s normally a stunt man.
In …
That Girl: Two for the Money
As the series winds down, That Girl gave us one last typical episode in the name of Two for the Money. In the story, Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) is on a modeling assignment at the racetrack. We get to see her doing all kinds of poses and …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: A Time to Die TV Show
From December 1967, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: A Time to Die is the 11the show of its fourth and final season on the air. Irwin Allen did a great job with this series, and while it wasn’t always great, it most often entertained viewers. …
FEAR FACTOR REALITY TV
I still don’t understand why eating disgusting and gut puking concoctions has anything to do with facing your fears. Eating edible food is a sane and natural exercise of every normal human being. Getting into difficult situations set in high places or underwater or in fast moving vehicles are …
Psych TV Episode: Talk Derby to Me
I have never seen the season three episode of Psych called Talk Derby to Me until today, when I ended up watching it on Netflix Instant Watch because the kids were both in bed and my wife was glued to the computer (she is obsessed with a game she …
Dawson’s Creek Season One
I have watched Season One of Dawson’s Creek and am on the second epi of Season Two. I don’t know why I’m writing this review because I almost have no opinion; I’m not sucked into the show yet like I feel I should be. The writing is good, the …
The Simpsons
The Simpsons is probably one of the best shows ever made. This show is just awesome. I really enjoy watching the wacky episodes they come up with in this show. This is one of the funniest shows ever created.
My favorite character on The Simpsons is probably Homer. The reason …
House: Family
What a great House episode. It’s just too bad more recent episodes have stunk. The episode “Family” is apparently the one that starts setting things in motion for the show in terms of House getting a whole new staff. But, the case itself is definitely interesting too.
You have two …
Frosty Returns
We watched the TV special Frosty the Snowman last night and, right after it, there was a newer special on the air called Frosty Returns.
I had never seen this holiday show before so I took the time to sit down and watch it with my two daughters (and wife).
It …
Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 2
Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 2 begins with Ed and Al confronting Father Cornelo about tricking his cult into believing he can perform miracles because he has a Philosopher’s Stone. They try to take it from him but he attacks them using the Stone. He then turns the people …
TV Show: Raising Hope
My wife and I were watching the show Glee for the first time the other night and, after that show was over, a newer one called Raising Hope came on the air.
Since it was on a channel we rarely watch, I was not aware of this show prior to …
Ghost Whisperer
Ghost Whisperer in my country is ongoing showing every Friday nights, and this is I think the 2nd season that they are showcasing this great TV show series.
If you still do not know who the main actress is, it is none other than Jennifer Love Hewitt and she …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea Season 3 Vol 2 DVD
The third season of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea is routinely vilified by fans of science fiction as a tragic end to an otherwise phenomenal program. The main problem with Season Three was the fact that it generally centered on some truly awful and ludicrous plots that …
TV Episode for Destination Truth: Issie/Islandic Elves
I got done with work early yesterday (family thing yesterday afternoon) and, since I had some free time before we had to leave, I ended up watching part of a Destination Truth marathon on TV. One of the episodes was from an earlier season and I hadn’t seen it …
Stargate SG-1: Unnatural Selection
Stargate SG-1: Unnatural Selection is actually part two of the story that began in Prometheus the week before. However, they really aren’t connected in terms of the story. Prometheus was an avenue to get the ship in space and meet up with the Asgard.
Stargate SG-1: Unnatural Selection …
Fringe: The Bishop Revival
I finally got a chance to watch a full episode of Fringe last night (I love DVR because it allows me to pause the show until I get my daughter to bed). The episode, The Bishop Revival, was interesting and a bit creepy.
Basically, they had a Nazi scientist using …
The 67th Golden Globe Awards - 2010
I’m not sure I’ve enjoyed an awards show as much as I did The 67th Golden Globes - 2010 in January. I’m not sure why. I’m no fan of Ricky Gervais, the host, and his contribution did nothing to make me smile. Well, I did laugh …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Man Who Wouldn’t Talk
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Man Who Wouldn’t Talk from season two is highly entertaining. It even brought on chuckles, especially when Charles Bronson is asking Richard Boone for advice on how to be romantic. There’s a great bit concerning Cyrano de Bergerac. One of …
The Simpsons: Brawl in the Family
I watched a re-run of The Simpson’s yesterday, Brawl in the Family, and wasn’t very impressed with it.
The episode starts out with the Republican Party doing something evil and trying to destroy the environment, which leads to acid rain and, since the family is stuck indoors without TV, they …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Datalore
This first season episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation - “Datalore” is an episode that I enjoy watching, but it is also an episode that is weakened by writing that is a bit too convenient and wobbly in my opinion. The episode definitely suffers from some faults that …
The Bachelor TV Show
The Bachelor is a reality TV Show with many seasons that have been aired.
I have a love hate relationship with the show.
On the love side, I love to see twenty five women get down and dirty fighting for the love of a man. They cut each other down, …
Ghost Hunters: Crescent Hotel & Dr. Ellis
OK, I have to say it. I have watched plenty of Ghost Hunters episodes in the past and have been left with doubts about what they have found. But, when I saw the Season 2 episode “Crescent Hotel & Dr. Ellis” I have to admit I was pretty creeped …
Harper’s Island Season Finale
Harper’s Island season finale was very good. It made me jump in a lot of scenes, fearing for the different safety of the victims and the remaining ones in the episode. It was a really close call for Abby and Jimmy and besides them, Shea and Madison survive as well.
Wakefield …
Reliance DTH, Big TV
BIG TV is a DTH (Direct to Home) service from Reliance, a Anil Ambani group.
I have been using this service since three months and I must say I am very satisfied with it.
The setup comes for Rs.1490 which is the price of the settop box and with this you get …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Buccaneer TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Buccaneer is the 22nd show of this successful 1960’s TV series. It begins with a distraction at the secret sub harbor where the Seaview is docked in Santa Barbara. Of course, it’s not a secret to everyone, as is proved …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 4: Slimer, Come Home
There’s a general rule of thumb when it comes to “The Real Ghostbusters”, if the episode is written by J. Michael Stracynski, it will be good. After the awesomeness that was “Mrs. Rogers’ Neighborhood”, this episode had a high bar to jump, and the fact that it centered …
Dog The Bounty Hunter Show
I have a strange and most likely unhealthy fascination with this show. The scenery is definitely part of it (Hawaii is beautiful, and an interesting locale for this sort of show). But it is Dog and his family that make the show so unusual and unique.
Dog is …
The Twilight Zone: To Serve Man
This is an episode of “The Twilight Zone” which both my boyfriend and I enjoy more than many other episodes. I think it has also been seen as one of the more popular episodes of the television series which aired from 1959 to 1964. This might be because this …
Stargate SG-1: Counterstrike
It’s back to the worst with Stargate SG-1: Counterstrike. This episode is what I call the bonding show. It’s the one where Daniel and Vala are supposed to bond some more. Where can I throw up? Daniel tells her about Sha’re and that history, in …
