While watching television, I happened upon a commercial where a man is seated at his kitchen table with Abraham Lincoln, and what looks to be a groundhog, but is actually a beaver. In the rear, facing the sink (presumably washing dishes) is what looks like an astronaut. …

Season Five Episode 5
Welcome to the Jungle
Brooke Shields Guest Judge
In this episode, Heidi tells the designers their next challenge is to create a look for a high powered woman and to meet Tim in the work room for more details.
When the designers head back to the work room …

My first reaction to Burn Notice: Trust Me wasn’t positive. There was a lot of ’she’s not my girlfriend’ type of stuff, which is so second grade in my mind. It just ruined any chance I had to even want to watch this episode. While I …

The well respected Gwen Verdon guest stars in Fame: Come One, Come All in which she plays Melinda MacNeil, the mother of Montgomery MacNeil (P.R. Paul). She’s an actress of note who suddenly agrees to give up a movie role in order to direct a play at the …

First of all, I did not expect that I would learn to love CW’s One Tree Hill series. I have been a loyal viewer of the series since the airing of its first season when its characters were in their teenage years. Now it has made to its sixth …

Well, I was right in my assumption during the last episode that Buffy and Faith switched bodies. This was confirmed in the episode “Who Are You” and it was definitely an interesting episode.
For one, you have Buffy facing imprisonment and even death because the council believes she is Faith …

The second episode of The Choir: Boys Don’t Sing was quite interesting to watch. I’m still left wishing they’d not tried to cover so much ground in such a short period of airtime, though. The events cover literally months and yet we see a great deal of …

I think Dancing with the Stars with the stars is an OK show. I can watch it but not all the the time. As you can guess by the title of the show it’s about dancing. I think the dancing that goes on during Dancing with the Stars is very …

The standout story in Adam-12: Day Watch features George Murdock as the owner of a service station whose been robbed. He’s the prejudiced type with a quick temper. It’s actually an interesting case study of how anger makes a situation worse. It’s Murdock’s own stupidity that …

I think that this, even more so than the two previous episodes, acts as a proto-typical X-Files episode. It has all the things that X-Files fans love. It’s far more atmospheric than the other two and has a stronger story to tell compared to the other two.
It …

The group comes across a sign advertising a fire festival. Sokka is skeptical, but Aang sees it as a rare opportunity to learn some firebending. Katara agrees, though she thinks that they should wear disguises. I was hoping this would result in the return of Aang’s …

I’m a big fan of the Law & Order Criminal Intent series, but last night’s episode, Lonelyville, was a bit too much to swallow.
The premise of the show was good; a wannabe writer is getting drunk in a bar and is invited to participate in a threesome with two …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Puppeteer was a bit of a strange outing for this western. Then again, it’s not the first time that Have Gun - Will Travel has done strange.
There is actually something weird about a show that continues to do some odd parodies. …

Trigun Episode 3 begins with Meryl and Milly in Warrens City, still looking for Vash the Stampede, who is also in the city looking for a renowned gunsmith named Frank Marlon. He runs into the town drunk and befriends him; he finds out that the drunk is Frank …

The Andy Griffith Show: The Bank Job aired back in the show’s third season, which was 1962-1963. The episode is a vehicle for Don Knotts as Deputy Barney Fife. Everyone knows how Barney is when he gets something in his mind. He gets overzealous, and that …

Synopsis: Booth and Bones need to piece together what happened to a daredevil who is found on top of a warehouse roof with broken bones and covered in mold.
What I liked about this episode: One of the things that stuck out for me was some of the people riding …

Airing in September 1987, Max Headroom: Deities brings on the religious angle for those living in the Age of Video, which is when this series takes place. The set up is that the View Age church is getting too popular and will surpass catholics and 700 Club in …

The 17th season rolls on with The Amazing Race: In Phil We Trust in which the teams are in the African nation of Ghana. There were several things I noted about this hour long episode and some of those are noted below:
–The teams had a challenge where they …

Finally, we get a season four episode with Pete Thornton and the Phoenix Foundation. In MacGyver: On a Wing and a Prayer, Pete and a nun have been kidnapped in Barraca from some rebels. With the government bogged down in politics, MacGyver does something he never thought …

I ended up staying up for the repeat showing of last night’s episode of Ghost Hunters; Ghost of Buffalo Bill. And, I have to confess, I ended up falling asleep during the second investigation (involving someone’s house) and can’t tell you how that investigation turned out. But, I’m guessing …

From January 1967, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Mermaid is a terrific show. It’s so dramatic, but I love the humor in it. This 19th show of the third season begins with a cute scene in the control room of the Seaview. It …

“About Face” was a great episode for anyone who loves the character of Jimmy Palmer played by the wonderful Brian Dietzen.
We viewers don’t often get a chance to see much of Jimmy as he is always stuck in the morgue. However, in this episode, we got to see …

I’ve always liked Star Trek: Tomorrow Is Yesterday, an episode where future returns to the past. In this outing, the Enterprise goes back in time to the late 1960’s Earth. It’s a neat twist.
Roger Perry normally bores me in his roles, but I like this portrayal of …

The Japanese show “The Iron Chef” has become so widely popular that it has even spawned an American version that has contributed greatly to the Food Network’s success. I won’t dwell on the American version, but rather on the original dubbed over Japanese version of the show, which …

I get a kick out of Star Trek: The Eye of the Beholder. The basic premise isn’t really a new one, but I like the way it was done in this 1974 animated outing. What happens is that while on a rescue mission, Kirk and his landing …

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 15 has the Tachikomas discussing subjects that disturb the major because of their strange behavior recently and Section 9 is deciding what to do about them.
This was a very interesting episode because it shows that the Tachikomas are starting to think …

“Log 101″ of “Adam-12″ has a scene that I’ve never forgotten because it’s just too funny. A man has his lawn stolen. I always think back to that episode of “Bewitched” where Samantha wiggles up a lawn and drives her neighbor batty.
I like the focus on Officer …

A Taste for Death - Part 2 brings the end to the fascinating character of Sir Paul Berowne. He’s been murdered, along with a tramp. Or was it a murder suicide? And who killed who? There are a lot of questions, and few answers as …

As I mentioned before, I started watching re-runs of the show Scrubs on TV whenever I get a chance (and there’s nothing better on). One of the episodes I ended up watching Sunday was entitled “My Day at the Races.”
This one was actually pretty good. JD is turning 30 …

M*A*S*H: Depressing News is a very good episode that is also thought provoking at points. The setup begins when a truckload of 500,000 tongue depressors when they’d only ordered 5,000. It’s an obvious error, but it’s one that strikes a chord inside of Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda). …

Family Guy returns with the latest instalment in the Stewie and Brian centric “Road to..” episodes, with mixed success.
Usually, the “Road to…” episodes have always been great, especially the more recent ones. Brian and Stewie are unmatchable combination and the writing is usually on top form. However, this one …

I was a little leery of watching MC Hammer’s new reality show. It seems that every rapper or washed up celebrity is trying to keep their career going by inviting cameras into their personal lives. I will admit that I enjoyed one or two of his …

Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 7 gives us the resolution to the court-martial murder trial of Lt. Glenn Matthews (Andrew Stevens). Initial joy turns to anger and hurt with the verdict. Better than the verdict for me, though, was the bit before it when Lt. Simon Adams convinced …

The Maalaala Mo Kaya Episode of Cherry Pie and Sarah Geronimo, I think is one of Sarah’s best performances in her acting career. The story was about a family of 3, her mother her and his older brother who has to always move home because they are not able …

Due South: Mountie and Soul doesn’t begin promisingly for me. I don’t like boxing, and the story begins with Fraser, the Vecchio replacement, and Francesca at a boxing ring. Too much of these stories are being focused on this newcomer, Callum Keith Rennie, as the Vecchio replacement …

The Phoenix Under Siege episode of MacGyver is another good episode. It’s the return of Harry Jackson, MacGyver’s grandfather, as played by the talented John Anderson. It’s a special anniversary for the two, though not a pleasant one. It seems the two are planning to attend …

I love this dancing show from the first time that I watched Mario Lopez flash his dimples. I have to give it to the producers of this show. Their choice of dance crews is really good. I enjoy the fast paced dancing that every crew dishes out. As Shane …

I’ve seen some confusing episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer before. But, “Where the Wild Things Are” is definitely one that ended up being one of the most confusing.
OK, first of all, when did the show go from being a series about a girl who fights demons to a …

Trigun Episode 20 begins with a hurricane called Jacqueline hitting New Oregon, Milly and Meryl are stuck after unsuccessfully trying to follow Vash while he decides to go visit some old friends who live up in the sky in one of the Project Seeds ships that failed to crash …

60 minutes is a great investigative news show that comes on CBS. The show usually focuses on a few different news stories every night and takes a deeper look at a the story, often from a different perspective than is generally portrayed in the news. The show has interviews …

Sometimes, the series Family Guy can be a bit over the top. A lot of times, that can take away from the show. Other times, like in the episode “Prick up Your Ears,” it can be a good thing because it was a great way to bring people’s attention …

The Twilight Zone: I Dream of Genie isn’t the first show that this science fiction series has done about the proverbial genie in a bottle. In this case, a rather timid man is coaxed into buying an old lamp. Yes, naturally, the so-called antique has a genie …

Family Values is a very strong episode in the Starhunter canon. This one has everything: a bit of action, a bit of comedy, the further exploration of the character of Dante, giving us our first glimpse of our recurring villains the Raiders, as well as bringing his …

This was not the Highlander we all know and love. The Duncan in this movie was dark and brooding and unsure of himself. The movie was choppy-it didn’t have a good flow. There wasn’t much information about the characters and how they all came together. It didn’t …

Available for free streaming on Hulu and Viz’s Neon Alley, is the second episode of the English-subtitled Sailor Moon series, “Punishment Awaits: The House of Fortune Is the Monster Mansion”. The premier episode had a great deal to accomplish: not only did it have to establish the setting, the …

In M*A*S*H: No Laughing Matter, Major Charles Emerson Winchester III sees a chance to finally be transferred back to Tokyo when the colonel who sent him to the 4077th visits the camp. Robert Symonds returns as Colonel Horace Baldwin. The odd thing to me is that Baldwin …

First, I don’t know if the last word of this title was offensive or might have been thought of sensitive, so I just cut it out of the title and the rest of the review. If you have seen the episode, you will understand what the word is, so …

The second episode of Orchestra United was a little slow for me somehow. I can’t really put my finger on it, but there was something that didn’t keep me as hooked as I had been. Still, the hour long episode from the United Kingdom had some solid …

This was actually the first episode where I managed to resolve the case before the two secret agents Myka and Pete. In two previous episodes they tried to stop Macpherson, Artie’s ex partner from stealing artefacts but they didn’t manage to arrest him.
In this episode we learn why Macperson …

Would you rather win the lottery, or be given a job as host of Top Gear? For me, I’d take the job. I haven’t seen the American version of the show on the History channel yet, but the British version of Top Gear has to be the best thing …
