The Simpson’s season 4
The Simpson’s continue to entertain us with another smashing season 4. It starts with Kamp Krusty, where Bart and Lisa are thrilled to go alongwith other Krusty fans, but it turns out to be a disaster. The episode was really funny, it showed that the weaklings can overpower strong …
Television Series “Outsourced” Episode “Touched by an Anglo”
I have just started watching this show, but I am really enjoying it. For those not familiar with the story line, a young american named Todd, is sent to management training school in the first episode and returns to find his entire workforce has been fired and management has …
The Dick Van Dyke Show (TV Show) - Remember the Alimony (Episode)
Sitcom episodes that mainly revolve around husband and wife arguments usually don’t entertain me as much as episodes that feature some kind of other plot focus. In “Remember the Alimony,” an episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” viewers are treated to a flashback to a time when Rob …
The Simpson’s TV Episode: Lisa’s Date with Density
I had a chance to watch a bit of TV last night and ended up watching an episode of the Simpsons; Lisa’s Date with Density.
This one has a couple story lines that are actually pretty entertaining. First, Lisa finds herself having a crush on Nelson and, while I wouldn’t …
Seinfeld: The Boyfriend
I’ve been watching re-runs of Seinfeld late at night (while waiting for my wife to get home from work) and have seen some classic episodes; including “The Boyfriend.”
This is one of the funnier episodes of the series because they manage to get baseball player Keith Hernandez to guest star …
Dancing with the Stars 2009 - Week 1
Dancing with the Stars 2009 - Week 1 was an okay show. The show is getting a reputation now for star injuries, and this season two contestants didn’t even make it to the first show. Both Jewel and Nancy O’Dell had to withdraw for injuries.
Jewel was replaced by …
Stargate Atlantis: Remnants
Stargate Atlantis: Remnants continues the exploits of the Atlantis team in the Pegasus Galaxy. In this 15th show of the farewell season, the opening scenes have my head spinning. There’s just way too much going on, all presented in very short segments. More time needed to …
Survivor Season 20 Episode 3
This episode of Survivor was good in some respects but bad in others.
I did not enjoy the fact the Heroes got most of the screen time this episode. But I suppose that’ s what happens when you lose.
Oh it was fun watching them lose. A tribe of …
Stargate SG-1: Birthright
Stargate SG-1: Birthright is an intriguing episode from season seven. It’s the introduction of a female Jaffa named Ishta, wonderfully portrayed by Jolene Blalock. She’s the best pairing with Teal’c since the actresses who played his wife on the series.
Blalock and the other women who are part …
Highway Patrol: License Plates TV Show
The 29th episode of Highway Patrol’s first season was a nice show called License Plates. I say nice because I really enjoyed it. It entertained me and brought me smiles, which I appreciated. That’s mainly because of the interaction between California Highway Patrol Chief of Police …
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 …
Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares
The other night Lyndsey and I watched an episode of Ramsey’s Kitchen nightmares which was based around a small family run restaurant called Morgan’s in Liverpool.
The restaurant was owned by a mother and her two daughters and used to be the mother’s antique shop before being converted into a …
America’s Got Talent: The Finals TV Show
America’s Got Talent: The Finals for 2010 was a pretty decent show, presented in an hour format. With four finalists, it easily could have been a rockin’ half hour event. I’m admittedly getting tired of all of the fluff that these shows do. I’m not fond …
The Mrs. Bradley Mysteries: The Rising of the Moon
From 2000, Diana Rigg returns in The Mrs. Bradley Mysteries: The Rising of the Moon. I’ve always associated Rigg with the classic Emma Peel character, but she’s so different here that I surprised myself that I never really look at her and think ‘Emma’, so that’s a compliment …
Harper’s Island Episode 9
Harper’s Island Episode 9 is more exciting than the previous one. This one is more dark and mysterious for me. The fact that the killer is lurking out there and anytime is trying to kill and get more victims make this a more exciting watch than the previous …
Due South: The Deal
Due South: The Deal focuses a bit more on series regular David Marciano as Detective Ray Vecchio. In the episode, he comes across an old friend, who really isn’t a friend per se. The other man is a mobster, and even as a child, he was an …
Criminal Minds —“ Season One —“ Episode Eleven —“ Blood Hungry
I almost thought this episode was about someone who thought he was a vampire. But someone was breaking into places and hacking people up with tools and then taking internal organs from the victims. Later, the team discovered that whoever was doing it, was actually drinking the blood as …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Fandango TV Show
I just love the title of this fourth season episode of Have Gun - Will Travel. It’s called Fandango, which in this case means tomfoolery. It intrigued me from the start.
Leonid Kinskey has a bit part as Yevgeny. He was playing chess with Paladin in San …
Man Vs. Wild on the Discovery Channel
I love watching the discovery channel but I am not a fan of the show Man Vs. Wild. My husband loves the show but I think there are too many disgusting parts. For example I just watched Bear Grylls (the only character) on the show cut open a …
Alias Smith and Jones: The Legacy of Charlie O’Rourke
Alias Smith and Jones: The Legacy of Charlie O’Rourke is the final episode of season one, and it features a superb actress in Joan Hackett. Also in the cast are Billy Green Bush in the title role of Charlie O’Rourke and J.D. Cannon, who makes his second appearance …
Fox News Channel
Fox News Channel is an interesting phenomenon to watch, if anything. Famous for their slogan “Fair and Balanced,” they are anything but. Bias resonates through almost every word iterated by one of the Channel’s many columnists. The half-hour news reports are fairly standard fare, but the …
Gilligan’s Island - Sound of Quacking TV show
After watching this episode, I found it to be rather depressing and sad. I did not enjoy watching most of this show except for the dream sequence near the end which was kind of funny. But still the suffering the castaways have endured and the uncertainty of their fate …
Diagnosis Murder: Reunion with Murder TV Show

Directed by Anson Williams of Happy Days fame, there are a couple of notable guest stars, namely Jessica Tuck as a politician …
The Andy Griffith Show: Fun Girls TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Fun Girls is not an outing that I enjoy. The Fun Girls are legendary in the mythos of this superb comedy series, but for me, they’ve never been a hit. They are annoying, and both of their episodes are ones I tend to …
Imbestigador by Mike Enriquez
I do really like watching “Imbestigador” hosted by Mike Enriquez and aired via GMA Network every Ssturday night. It is never boring to watch this TV program. Mike Enriquez features exposes of various corruption in government agencies, unlawful activities of some erring citizens of the country, unlawful practices …

If you’ve heard the latest in Futurama news and are a Futurama fan you’ll probably be just as happy as I am: Futurama is coming back to TV! Unfortunately it isn’t going to be hitting the airwaves again until 2008, so we Futurama fans are just going to …

Ugly Betty TV show
This TV show just rocks my world. I don’t really like watching people get embarrassed on TV, even though I know it’s not happening to them in real life. But this show just makes me want to watch until Betty gets her revenge by being smart. This show actually …

Lost - First Season
I could tell by the way the first episode began that Lost was going to be a great hit for the producers at ABC.
The story begins as a plane crashes into a lost island, several hours off the original course, making it difficult to envision a rescue. We are …
Scooby Doo and the Samurai Sword
Once again, I was stuck watching Scooby Doo movies with my daughter this weekend. But, at least I got to see one I haven’t seen before; Scooby Doo and the samurai sword.
This was an OK movie but still not as good as others. Scooby and the Mystery Gang are …

Grey’s Anatomy Season 5 Finale Now or Never
I became a fan of Grey’s Anatomy just recently and once I started watching I couldn’t stop anymore. In fact, I finished watching Season 4 and 5 in just two days.
The season 5 finale for Grey’s Anatomy was aired just a couple of days back. The Now or …
Miss South Africa Annual National Beauty Pageant
There was a time when I simply couldn’t wait for the airing of Miss South Africa because I was beside myself with excitement but of late I really think this annual national beauty pageant has lost a little bit of its spunk somewhat.

The Twilight Zone: The Rip Van Winkle Caper TV Show
The message of The Twilight Zone: The Rip Van Winkle Caper is that greed just doesn’t pay. It’s an interesting story and one that is a bit unique in that three men steal some gold and then place themselves in suspended animation, setting their pods to awaken them …

As it so happens Melinda has recently gotten married to a paramedic named Jim Gordon, they’ve moved to a small town called Grandview and Melinda has opened up an antique shop. Sounds pretty …
The Tonight Show with Jay Leno - 5/29/09
May 29, 2009 marked the end of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno after 17 years. I was never a fan of Leno, and I felt NBC shenanigans resulted in him getting the job over David Letterman. The thing is, I’m not a fan of Letterman, either, …
The Simpsons: Mypods and Boomsticks
Well, another Simpsons episode and another one that indirectly teaches the importance of tolerance when it comes to other cultures and religions.
Mypods and Boomsticks was a great episode because it teaches the danger of stereotyping muslim people into the terrorist category. Bart befriends a boy from Jordan and, because …
Road to Vegas - Family Guy Season 11

Their innocent chatter gets interrupted, however, when sinister happenings begin to occur. …
House: Acceptance
House is the perfect character to draw out the personality in others that is what makes the show House so interesting. As a medical drama it is ok, but not really any better than the others, and as a mystery show it doesn’t work because unless you’ve went to …
Supernatural: 99 Problems TV Show
I don’t watch this Supernatural television series, so I don’t even know the setup of the story. All I really know is that it’s a science fiction series that airs on the CW network at the moment. However, I had to watch this episode because Michael Shanks …
Psych TV Episode: Gus’ Dad May have Killed an Old Guy
