The Walking Dead (Episodes 1-3)
I’ve always been a fan of zombie movies, but strangely enough, I haven’t tried to read any zombie comic books, including the critically acclaimed graphic novel series The Walking Dead by Robert Kirkman. So when it was announced that director Frank Darabont was doing a TV series out of …
Jericho (tv show)
Maybe its just me, but this fall season a new show called Jericho is on prime time television and I have attempted to watch the show three times now and I have not a clue what the main idea is. I get the idea that the town has …
Smallville Season 7 episode 9
This episode of Smallville like most of them started out on a light hearted note that went sour. It’s Christmas and instead of celebrating the gang are trying to stop a bomb that’s strapped to Chloe exploding.
For me some parts of this episode were boring. Lois is …
Coco Chanel series
Coco Chanel is a miniseries on Lifetime Network. I was curious about this movie.
I had heard of Chanel no 5 perfume, but did not realize she was also a designer.
The movie opens with Shirley Maclaine playing the aged Coco Chanel.
Her first fashion show in fifteen years. …
Throwdown w/ Bobby Flay
For some reason, Bobby Flay annoys me. I have really only seen about three or four of these episodes. But I think it’s a combination of his personality and his cooking. He seems a little condescending to people, and I have the feeling that he …
How Clean is your House?
I enjoy ‘How Clean is your House?’ mainly because I find it very motivating when it comes to cleaning my own house. In each episodes, the team visits what the voice-over man calls a ‘filth offender’, someone living in a revoltingly dirty house. Although you or I …
Living Single show
Sometimes when I watch television, which is rare now of days when I have the internet for that, I like to see shows that they just don’t put on TV anymore. Living Single is definitely one of those shows that makes me feel nostalgic, like I just wish there …
Justice League Unlimited: the Doomsday Sanction
Typically “Justice League Unlimited” focused on the less famous members of the Justice league and that is good. It adds depth to the D.C. universe which isn’t in most cartoons because they need to focus on a few characters.
The second thing it does is serve as a contrast to …
Babylon 5 Season 1, Episode 5: Infection TV show
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.
The plot is fairly simple, but it’s generally well …
The Andy Griffith Show: Crime-Free Mayberry TV Show
Music opens The Andy Griffith Show: Crime-Free Mayberry from November 1961, the show’s second season. I love hearing the sing along moments or just any time like this one when Griffith’s Andy Taylor plays the guitar and lets out with some song or another. This one is …
Charmed TV Show
A spectacular show with so much uniqueness and powerful blend of family issues, drama, humour, magic, love and many more.
Charmed is a Television series that was aired on the WB in the United States for eight years. This is one of the very long-running series that did extremely well. …
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Blood Moon TV Show
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Blood Moon really should be the Halloween episode, and maybe it is. Either way, it is not an hour of fun for me. I am not into vampires, werewolves, and decapitations, all of which were vital parts of this show.
The teaser scene is …
Doctor Who: Season 3, episode 3: Gridlock
When I read the general synopsis of this episode, I didn’t think it would work out that well. The idea of a gigantic traffic jam isn’t a bad one, but it doesn’t exactly scream excitement. As it turns out, this episode managed to turn me around and …
The Simpsons Season 6 Episode 13
Homer and the kids are busy watching “Nightboat”-The crime solving boat. however Marge interrupts and says that they should talk, since it is family talking day. However nobody knows what to talk. Lisa then suggests to look at the photo album. From the pictures, Lisa then asks why are …
Tenspeed and Brown Shoe DVD set
I can’t describe how disappointing it was to receive this Tenspeed and Brown Shoe DVD set. The show itself is a good one. While the series consisted of a TV movie pilot and just twelve episodes, it was a terrific blend of comedy and drama and had …
Stargate: Infinity: Chariot of the Sun TV Show
Stargate: Infinity: Chariot of the Sun continued the crazy adventures of a wayward SG team, led by Major Gus Bonner and consisting of his niece, Stacey, Seattle, Ec’co, and Harrison, as well as a potential Ancient named Draga.
There is one very big lesson that is echoed throughout this half …
The Dick Van Dyke Show (TV Show) - Jealousy (Episode)
“Jealousy” is an episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show”. This episode follows a pretty standard formula that I imagine, at the time, hadn’t been done to death like it has by now. In this episode, Rob ends up working late several nights with a beautiful woman that is …
The Fall Guy: License to Kill: Part 2 TV Show
The Fall Guy: License to Kill: Part 2 was good, but not as good as the opening hour that aired the prior week in January 1982. This picks up the story that has Colt and Howie in the middle of secret spy type stuff in Hawaii. They’ve …
The X-Files: Season 1, Episode 18: Miracle Man
This episode presents us a rare case where the so called “Monster of the Week” isn’t really a monster at all. On the contrary, the supernatural element seen here is an ability to heal, supposedly a gift from God himself.
As you can tell from the synopsis, …
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 …
30 Rock: The Aftermath
This was a definite improvement over the pilot. In this episode, they introduced all the writers, and while many of them feel like stereotypes that is the nature of new characters on TV it seems. You have to give people something to hang onto immediately and they all tend …
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 …
Mr. Monk and the Leper
I am a huge fan of the television series Monk. However, Friday’s episode, Mr. Monk and the Leper was a bit of a disappointment.
While the show still kept most of it’s trademark comedy, the episode seemed to lack a lot of the mystery that has kept it a top …
Beast Wars - Master Blaster
Beast Wars - Master Blaster is one of the season’s most solid episodes. It features a number of entertaining highlights, the most important of which is Megatron once more gaining access to the Ark and removing the spark of his namesake, the Generation One Megatron, and joining it with …
Star Trek: This Side of Paradise TV Show
Star Trek: This Side of Paradise is one of the most well known episodes in which we see another side of the rational and logical Mr. Spock, played so aptly by Leonard Nimoy. It’s safe to say that this Spock is not like the normal Vulcan we see. …
M*A*S*H: Friends and Enemies
In M*A*S*H: Friends and Enemies, Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) is reunited with his best friend, Colonel Woody Cooke, played by John McLiam. While Potter is happy to see him, he’s not so happy when Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) gives him an unfavorable report about Cooke. In …
Keeping Up With the Kardashians (E! reality show)
Again the reality show has bitten another family. This show has been on E! for a little while, but I’d just never taken the time to watch. Kim Kardashian is a beautiful woman who doesn’t really get a lot of respect in Hollywood. She’s …
Vampire High Season 1 Episode 22
In this episode, Drew comes back from his stay with the Elders, but a changed person.
Marty is telling Merrill that he is not a bad guy and that she should give him a chance and then Marty gets up to give Merrill a back rub when Drew appears and …
M*A*S*H: Margaret’s Engagement
This comedy series changes in a big way with M*A*S*H: Margaret’s Engagement, and it was about a year overdue. The writing was on the wall in season four. Loretta Swit had to be jumping for joy as this is the beginning of taking her Margaret ‘Hot Lips’ …
The Venture Bros: Self Medication
The episode opens with Monarch pursuing Dr. Venture. It’s one of those moments where Monarch is actually a legitimate menace. His men have captured the boys and Hatred is locked in battle with 21. Dr. Venture calls time out because he has to attend a therapy …
Laramie: The Stranger TV Show
I really enjoy the opening of Laramie: The Stranger , a fourth year episode of this superb western series that stars John Smith as Slim Sherman and, my favorite, Robert Fuller as Jess Harper. The two are partners and co-owners of the Sherman Ranch and Relay Station in …
The Cleveland Show
My family has been watching the show Family Guy for some time now (at least until our 5-year-old started repeating some of the stuff she shouldn’t have and we took a break from it) so we were interested when we learned there was going to be a spin-off starring …
Stargate SG-1: In the Line of Duty
Stargate SG-1: In the Line of Duty is an okay episode, but quite honestly isnt’ a big favorite of mine. The main point of the story involves Samantha Carter becoming the unwilling host to what the SGC thinks is a Goa’uld. In actuality, this is the show …
That Girl: What Are Your Intentions?
Interestingly, the opening of That Girl: What Are Your Intentions? has a slight change to it. The very beginning where Ann is walking to the office building is replaced by her walking by and helping a little girl to get a drink from a water fountain. Changes …
The Simpson’s: The Way We Weren’t
I finally got a chance to watch the entire Simpson’s episode “The Way We Weren’t.” I have seen bits and pieces of it in the past but none of it made a whole lot of sense until last night.
Overall, it wasn’t too bad of an episode.
Basically, Homer and Marge …
Make It Or Break It: Pilot Episode
Make It or Break It? is ABC’s newest addition to its roster of family-centered shows. This one, however, centers on gymnastics, specifically on 4 girls’ of making it to Nationals and ultimately, the Olympics.
Having just finished seeing the Pilot episode, I can say upfront that this will be …
Dead Like Me
“Dead Like Me” was a Showtime original series which used to air on the cable television channel “Showtime” when I was still in high school. Like all the Showtime original series the plot was quite different from what many television shows going on at the time; hence I think …
Exiled
Have you ever seen the series on MTV called ‘My Super Sweet 16′? if you have, then this reality show is trying to pickup from where the previous one left off, it shows how these rich, spoilt teenagers are living off their parents and not wanting to start living …
Justice League Unlimited Season One: The Doomsday Sanction
“The Doomsday Sanction” is the 16th episode of Justice League Unlimited, season one, and it really picks up the pace in the series after a couple of slow and forgetable episode. This episode features a lot of the “Big Three” of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman while also …
Highlander: The Series - 101 - The Gathering
“I am Duncan MacLeod, born four hundred years ago in the Highlands of Scotland. I am Immortal and I am not alone. For centuries we have waited for the time of the Gathering, when the stroke of a sword and the fall of a head will release the power …
High School of the Dead Anime Series
I have never been a fan of anything that features zombie. But I happened to watch High School of the Dead because I want to watch something new in the world of anime and zombies in anime are not as scary as the “real” zombies in movies or TV …
Law and Order Special Victims Unit
I think “Law and Order Special Victims Unit” is one of the most popular shows being aired on American cable television now. It is aired on Jamaican local television as well, but I know it is a hit television series since I have spoken to people in many different …
Psych TV Episode: Chivalry is Not Dead, But Someone Is
Well, after fighting the kids to bed last night, I was able to tune in to watch the new episode of Psych called Chivalry is Not Dead, But Someone Is.
Perhaps I was a bit tired. But, for some reason, I honestly did not enjoy this one as much as …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Long Way Home TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Long Way Home aired in February 1961 and featured a really nice guest cast which helped to elevate the show in overall success.
In the story, Richard Boone portrays Paladin, our heroic gunfighter. How I love the opening bits in San Francisco. There’s …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Terror on Dinosaur Island TV Show
From 1965, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Terror on Dinosaur Island is the 14th show of this second year on the air. The series stars Richard Basehart as Seaview creator, Admiral Harriman Nelson, and David Hedison, who has always been my favorite performer from this program, …
Simpsons TV Episode: Weekend at Burnsie’s
Well, the Simpsons repeat that was on last night wasn’t terrible but it also wasn’t what I was expecting it to be.
Weekend at Burnsie’s had so much potential. Homer injures his eye after befriending a bunch of crows only to make them mad at him later (I wonder what …
Gilligan’s Island - Plant You Now, Dig You Later TV Episode
While watching this Plant You Now, Dig You Later episode, I saw this whole as an attempt to evade boredom and to have some sort of connection and normalcy to the operations to the world off the island. So here we go again just like in the President Gilligan …
CSI Season 3 Episode 1- Revenge is Best Served Cold
CSI Season 3 Episode 1- Revenge is Best Served Cold
It was a very good episode. I enjoyed it very much. One of the cases, although presented a good story, was a bit difficult to believe. It could have been a better story line for a movie maybe, where …
Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer: 9-14-10 TV Show
Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer’s second show was on September 14, 2010, and I must say these two women need an infusion of energy and personality. They did at least welcome the viewers this time before entering into their boring interaction. Not only that, but Alexis showed …
The Andy Griffith Show: Andy the Matchmaker TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Andy the Matchmaker is devoted to the concept of Barney’s insecurity and getting him a girlfriend. The first main bit of the show is a funny routine where Barney (Don Knotts) says he’s resigning as Andy’s deputy. One by one, Barney starts placing …
