The next best thing
This year featured a new reality type show called the Next Best Thing. The show featured people impersonating movie stars or other famous people. While the show was slightly boring watching week to week. The semi=finals of the show was simply outstanding. The winners were …
Hannah Montana TV Episode: Another Side of Me
Synopsis: After being told she needs to find a new sound, Hannah (Miley) decides to become the anti-Hannah and sing a song that is much edgier than she normally does. However, her dad and her friends think she might be taking things too far.
What I liked about this episode: …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Haunted Submarine TV Show
The 11th episode of its third season on the air, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Haunted Submarine, gives us another same-o, same-o, which I really don’t like. By this I mean that yet again, Richard Basehart plays two roles. He’s Admiral Harriman Nelson as …
Sliders Double Cross
This could have really been a quite good episode of Sliders. It has a somewhat interesting take on some of the problems that face our own world (the idea of diminishing resources), a chance for our four homesick Sliders to finally make their way home as well as …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Two: Secret Box
One day when Squidward looks outside his window to see what was going on over at Spongebob’s house, he notices that he is getting a giant television delivered to his home. But, right after the delivery guy leaves, he sees Spongebob and Patrick throwing the television out and keeping …
Kim Possible
Kim Possible. This is a funny TV show. The lines are brilliant for what it is. I have gotten more than a few good chuckles out of this show … until reruns got to the point of ‘ew, change the channel to the news’. Anyway, I think Will Friedle …
Stargate SG-1: Desperate Measures
Stargate SG-1: Desperate Measures has its moments, but it’s another story that is Earth-based and not really a big favorite.
Among the pluses is another appearance by Tom McBeath as Harry Maybourne, and that means some good Jack and Harry craziness. The two characters have a crazy connection and …
Ramsays Best Restaurant - C4 TV Series
Ramays Best Restaurant
Having created a persona that is recognized as much for its fiery temper and his constant use of swear words as his talent for cooking fine food, it makes a nice change to see Gordon Ramsay front a t.v show like this.
Usually seen entering down trodden, under …
Supernatural the TV show
Supernatural at first glance was a complicated show but after watching the first few shows of the most recent season the show is very good and I am saying this right now that you need to check this show out ASAP because it is non stop entertainment at its …
Britain’s Tudor Treasure: A Night At Hampton Court (TV Documentary)
What a better way to mark the 500th anniversary of the famous Hampton Court than to recreate the most important event that took place there. The event in question is the christening of Prince Edward, Henry VIII’s only son, which turned into the ultimate showcase of Tudor etiquette, fashion, craftsmanship …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Consequences
I have now watched the first 2 ½ seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and have never seen an episode so filled with emotion as “Consequences.”
This episode takes place right after Faith accidentally kills a person thinking he was a vampire and deals with her and Buffy’s efforts to …
CSI:NY pilot episode Blink
Every pilot episode of a tv show should do three things: introduce the characters and the plot, set the tone for the series, and draw the viewer’s attention.
‘Blink’ achieves all three easily. The plot is, of course, similar to all the other procedurals out there, and as a part …
The Twilight Zone: Nightmare at 20,000 Feet TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Nightmare at 20,000 Feet is one of the classic episodes that people love to see. It’s an intriguing mystery that leaves you going ‘whoa’. The story surrounds Bob Wilson (William Shatner in his second Twilight Zone appearance), a man just recovered from a nervous …
Ghost Adventures TV Series
There are a lot of people who believe in ghosts or spirits or whatever you want to call the afterlife, or even just a transitional part of going from one phase to another. Then there are those who believe it’s all a bunch of hooey. Real or …
Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 8
Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 8 is one of the most fascinating episodes I have ever seen out of all the episodes so far. It is titled the futures end part one and I cannot wait to watch part two tomorrow after seeing how the first part leaves …
Sea Hunt: The Dancer TV Show
Sea Hunt: The Dancer, the fifth show of the fourth season for this underwater adventure series, aired in February 1961 and focused on diver Mike Nelson’s attempts to rescue a lady diver. He’s called in by the Coast Guard to assist. The diver and her companion had …
Undercovers: Xerxes TV Show
Undercovers: Xerxes continued the spying adventures of Steven and Samantha Bloom, a husband and wife team who also own a catering business. However, this is now a sideline as the two have been recruited to go on missions yet again for the Central Intelligence Agency.
Below are a few …
Wagon Train: The Pearlie Garnet Story
Sharon Farrell is the big guest star in Wagon Train: The Pearlie Garnet Story, a ninety-minute, seventh season episode of the series. There’s little to love about Pearlie. She’s a pathetic and sad character, and this is her story, much of which is told in flashback.
The story reveals …
Stargate SG-1: Meridian
Stargate SG-1: Meridian is a show that changed the course of the series, and it’s one that frankly, I don’t watch. I saw it the first time and a couple of times after, and I’ve seen scattered scenes here and there, but otherwise, I refuse to watch it …
John Doe: Doe or Die TV show
Peter Wingfield is the standout guest star in John Doe: Doe or Die. Wingfield portrays Ken Rothman, who heads an assault team as they storm the Seattle police department where Jamie Avery and Frank Hayes work, though Hayes is not inside when the station is overtaken.
Rothman wants his …
Death Note Episode 34 (Anime)
Death Note Episode 34 begins with Aizawa becoming very suspicious of Light because whenever he meets with Kyomi Takada, they never use video surveillance, they only record the conversation. He devises a test to see whether or not they are exchanging notes during the conversation.
This episode was very …
The Simpsons TV Episode: Little Girl in the Big Ten
I finally got a chance to watch the entire episode of The Simpsons called “Little Girl in the Big Ten.” This one proved to be pretty darn funny.
Lisa is enrolled in gymnastics and, because she is the same size as the college girls enrolled in class, they naturally assume …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Inspector TV Show
One of the final episodes of the first season, The Andy Griffith Show: The Inspector began with a classic scene of Barney playing checkers against himself. Now it’s a hoot, but haven’t we all done something like this before? I think that’s why it works so well. …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 11: Citizen Ghost
After an episode that made direct reference to the “Ghostbusters” movie, it is only natural that they make an episode to show what happened between the battle with Gozer and the present. The episode is shown in flashback as a reporter interviews Peter as part of a story …
Due South: Letting Go
Due South: Letting Go is the final episode of this series for the first season, and it continues to resolve the events of Victoria’s Secret, Part 1 and Part 2. The good news is that Diefenbacker is all well now and staying with Fraser as he recovers. …
TNT’s “The Closer”: season six episode two “Help Wanted”
After the relatively uninspired premiere episode of The Closer’s sixth season, I wasn’t exactly expecting fireworks from its second episode. However, as soon as I saw Mary McDonnell’s surname on guest star list, I was hopeful for one of the better episodes, and I was definitely onto something, since …
That Girl: The Elevated Woman
The final show of That Girl has always been a disappointment to me. Series star Marlo Thomas refused to do a wedding show. She’s always been a feminist and she felt it was wrong to give the impression that her character of Ann Marie gets married and …
Weeds Showtime Sitcom (Season Two)
Season One of Weeds was a great introduction on Showtime’s cable network. The idea that a suburban housewife could engage in such illegal activities for the sake of feeding and sheltering her children seems preposterous. But the reality is that plenty of people do it everyday. …
Trigun Episode 22
Trigun Episode 22 has Vash, Meryl, Milly and Wolfwood travel to a town, only to be turned away at the gates and meet a small group of orphaned children whose parents just up and left town one day without any explanation. Then people in the nearby town are …
Sea Hunt: The Invader TV Show
Sea Hunt: The Invader aired in July 1960 as the 30th outing of the underwater adventure series’ third season on the air. The show had a decent amount of under the water activity but it wasn’t as fun as others have been for a couple of reasons.
First of …
Friends Episode: Rachel’s Eye-drop
Friends Episode: Rachel’s Eye-drop is again another good episode of Friends that I will always remember. Rachel has a left eye infection and the nightmare starts off when Rachel goes to the Pediatrician. Rachel does not allow the Pediatrician to check her at all.
Even after Monica …
MacGyver: Easy Target
MacGyver: Easy Target started with a twist — MacGyver and Pete bickering from a weekend ski outing that hadn’t gone as planned. It got worse when Mac’s jeep ran out of gas, which caused more bickering. It was quite fun to watch. Mac and Pete split …
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 …
CHiPs: Mait Team
CHiPs: Mait Team is another one of those opportunities where we get to see another part of the law enforcement job handled by the California Highway Patrol. In this episode, Brianne Leary’s Officer Sindy Cahill is involved in a traffic accident that has her vehicle rolling over onto …
MTV 2006 VMA
On Thursday August 31, MTV aired live their annual Music Video awards.
The award show returned to whee they first began in New York. With big celebrities, great music stars, and Jack Black as the host, the show would be the best of its kind, right? Well I didnt think …
Boston Legal Season 2 Episode 6
Its halloween and the case fits this very occasion. Shirley Schimdt and Denise Bauer are representing Christians and Wiccans who are outraged by the public school’s celebration on halloween. The client sued the school specifically because they don’t like the witch. They contend that the witch that the school …
That 70s Show TV Episode: That 70s Musical
Wow, I was watching television Friday night and came across an episode of That 70s Show I had heard about but had never seen before, “That 70s Musical.” I have seen quite a few episodes of this show but this one was absolutely fantastic.
Basically, you have Fez getting ready …
ABS-CBN’s Showbiz News Ngayon
I regularly watch the Showbiz News Ngayon (SNN) program on ABS CBN. I am thoroughly entertained with the format of the show and the undeniable chemistry of Boy Abunda and Kris Aquino. The format of the show keeps close tabs of the famous stars in the local show business …
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 …
The Simpsons Season 6 Episode 12
Homer is leading a boring and dull life. He faces difficulties everywhere he goes. Life is tough for Homer. However he notices that Lenny and Carl are enjoying their lives like kings. He asks them but they do not tell him. So he decides to stalk them. Upon stalking …
Grey’s Anatomy
I know that this is one of the most popular shows on TV but I really don’t like it. Just yesterday I saw that there were some reruns of this show and I started thinking to myself: ‘Why don’t I like this show?’ So I started watching the episode …
M*A*S*H: Communication Breakdown
M*A*S*H: Communication Breakdown is one of only a few episodes penned by a woman. In this case, it was Karen Hall who gets the writer’s credit for this tenth season episode. Series star Alan Alda directed the episode. Both did great jobs.
There are two subjects in …
Legend: Legend on His President’s Secret Service
The opening of this third episode is a hoot. Pratt is on a book tour in the south, a bad mistake since his dime novels are all about Yankees. Just as some unhappy southerners are about to do harm to him and in fact have him hanging …
Sea Hunt: Niko TV Show
Niko was the 17th episode from the fourth year of the underwater adventure series, Sea Hunt, which starred Lloyd Bridges as expert skin diver, Mike Nelson. The drama starts out very early in this show when Nelson and his partner, Frank Judd (played by Lane Bradford) discover two …
That Girl: When in Rome
That Girl: When in Rome gives Ann Marie the part of her lifetime, only to have it come tumbling down in one quick stage direction, that being that the part includes a nude scene.
There’s some wonderfully funny stuff in this half-hour entry from season two of this hit ABC …
The Virginian: The Exiles
The problem with The Virginian, as I’ve said before, is that it bores me more often than not. I couldn’t watch it as a kid because none of the characters captured my heart or imagination. This episode, The Exiles, exemplifies those feelings. It’s a show towards …
The Elen Degeneres Show - Mariah Carey
Like I’ve said many many times before, I love Ellen…no not like Portia loves Ellen…just regular love for Ellen. Yesterday, her guest was no other than the jeans shorts wearing , butterfly goddess Mariah Carey, no, she didn’t wear jeans shorts to show! And as per usual, Ellen manages …
The X-Files Gender Bender Episode
This was one of my favorite episodes of the popular nineteen nineties television series “The X-Files”. This was because this one explored the whole issue of gender bending which was still fairly new in terms of having operations to convert into either a male or female in nineteen ninety …
Drake & Josh: Really Big Shrimp
I’ve never been able to get into the television show “Drake & Josh.” However, whenever they have made a TV movie, I’ve found it to be entertaining.
Their lastest movie, Really Big Shrimp, is the same way. From what I can tell, it’s meant to put closure to the series…showing …
