Star Trek: The Next Generation - Code of Honor
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Code of Honor is an episode that puzzles me. I do not know if the writers of the episode were deliberately trying to be racist or if they were driving at something else, but the way the episode is scripted makes me wonder. …

The New Adventures of Old Christine Season 1
The first season of the New Adventures of Old Christine was a really funny one though not as funny as I remembered. It took me quite awhile to buy the season on DVD because it’s fairly expensive for 15 episodes that are less than 30 minutes long. When I …
Avatar the Last Airbender Book One: Water
I recently finished watching the first season of Avatar the Last Airbender. Each season of Avatar is referred to as a Book and each episode is called a chapter. Thus, the first season is called Book One: Water.
I think Avatar is a great show. At first I thought …

Secret Girlfriend episode 1

The Twilight Zone: The Fugitive TV Show
While there is drama in The Twilight Zone: The Fugitive, it’s the fun element that I enjoy. This is a playful, endearing, happy ever after type of story, and that’s just my style.
J. Pat O’Malley is absolutely perfect casting for Old Ben, an elderly gentlemen who loves to …
House: 5 to 9
Well, when I heard last night’s House episode, 5 to 9, was being told through the eyes of Cuddy versus House, I had some serious doubts. She is quickly becoming my least favorite character on the show and I didn’t think I would enjoy the episode.
But, I have to …
Highway Patrol: The Seventh Green TV Show
Highway Patrol’s 18th show from its third year was a little different, and I liked that quite a bit. As the name might indicate, The Seventh Green, which aired back in February 1958, opened with Chief of Police Dan Mathews (Broderick Crawford) playing a round of golf with …

The Andy Griffith Show: The Beauty Contest TV Show
While the concept of The Andy Griffith Show: The Beauty Contest has its humorous elements, at the same time it’s a bit strange. The strangeness is not because of the contest happening, but the makeup of the contestants. There’s no guideline. Ellie Walker (Elinor Donahue) ends …
Touching Evil: Memorial
The first thing I enjoyed about the Memorial episode of Touching Evil was the time we got to see David Creegan (Jeffrey Donovan) spend with his ex-wife and daughters. I continue to enjoy that connection which is strong and very present. It’s the first time we really …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Lady of the Fifth Moon TV Show
For its 29th episode of season 6, Have Gun - Will Travel presents a very poetic show called The Lady of the Fifth Moon. I have a few thoughts about this episode, and they follow.

America Celebrates July 4th at Ford’s Theater TV Show
For the 2010 Independence Day holiday, a special called America Celebrates July 4th at Ford’s Theater was presented. I liked this hour long show, but I wish it had featured some holiday music in it. Instead, we had a lot of pop music and some other songs, …
Deal or No Deal-TV Show
What is it about other people taking chances that is so fascinating? I have found myself totally addicted to DEAL OR NO DEAL, and I hardly watch any television at all!
I can take or leave American Idol, and Survivor, though I occasionally find them entertaining, but I just HAVE …

Sea Hunt: Monte Cristo TV Show
I enjoyed Sea Hunt: Monte Cristo quite a bit for several reasons. For one thing, when we saw scenes in the ocean, we saw some of the sea life. It was a little bit more than some of the shows I’ve seen lately.
For another thing, I loved …
Gia movie (1998)
I never really heard of the American supermodel Gia Carangi quite possibly since she had died two years before I was born.

The Waltons TV Show
My favorite TV show ever is The Waltons.
I just love the serenity of the setting, the lifestyle. Although they were not wealthy they were the richest family to me. I still love to watch it, and it is on for 2 hours every morning. Luckily I am an early riser …
The Batman: Episode - A Matter of Family
I am a big fan of comics and their characters and cartoon shows. Batman is a character created by DC comics and there have been so many cartoon versions of this simple superhero. One of my favourite versions is a recent one named “The Batman.” This story unfolds little …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Pilot Part 2
Emerald Point N.A.S. was more soap opera than military drama, and I think I have always regretted that. I knew that it is what it would be all along, but I was hoping for more guts and glory than extramarital affairs and scheming. As the second part …
The Lazarus Man: Among the Dead
Among the Dead is episode 11 of The Lazarus Man, a western drama of sorts that aired in 1996 and starred Robert Urich in the title role. The show can be a bit confusing from time to time because of the intercutting of flashbacks or visions. There …
Diagnosis Murder: The Restless Remains TV Show
I love it when Diagnosis Murder begins with a fun scene, like Mark Sloan rolling in on his skates, and then going right into rounds with the medical students. This is episode nine, The Restless Remains. Things get a bit crazy though when Mark has a visit …

Criminal Minds the TV Series
I have mixed feelings about this show. On one hand, the story line borders on the dark side of humanity, and it sometimes scares me a lot. On the other hand, the plots are very interesting and seem very believable. I like the acting of Thomas Gibson as Agent …
Ice Road Truckers: A Legend Meets His End TV Show
Ice Road Truckers: A Legend Meets His End had two story segments that held my interest more than the others. Traditionally, this show follows several truckers as they work the ice roads or, in the case of this season, dangerous roads. There really aren’t that many ice …
Psych TV Episode: Extradition British Columbia
Synopsis: While on a ski vacation in Canada, Shawn and Gus run into an international art thief and try to help the local authorities capture him.

TNT’s “Rizzoli & Isles” pilot episode
Since summer is a slow time, television-wise, I tend to watch a lot of the new pilots. Sometimes this results in discovering gems, such as when I started watching “Big Love” or “Mad Men”, and sometimes it’s a waste of my time. Having seen TNT’s “Rizzoli & Isles” pilot …

Fear Factor
The show fear factor has been around for a couple of years and has been going strong. Their idea was wonderful and they test your mental, physical capabilities to its full extent. I have to say they also challenge your mind so much as to how much you can …
Make Me A Muslim
I was watching a TV program about people who want to change the lifes, so they thought by taking up a new religion for three weeks could help them do that. This challenge included giving up their lifestyle to fit the Muslims way of life. There are six contestants …
Peep Show
This is such an amazing program, not really one for the mainstream but if you like alternative humor then this is for you.
The way its filmed is extremely clever as if viewed through the eyes of the person talking(or listening) and centers around flat mates Mark and Jez.
Its now …

Fringe Season 4 Episode 2 TV show
After Peter was wiped out of existence at the end of the last season the show has been changed completely. It seems that everything else has been wiped from the existence as well: the high stakes and the action scenes, the mystery and the adventure, any kind of meaningful …
Friends Episode: Phoebe and her Bike
Friends Episode: Phoebe and her Bike is awesome because of the fact that Phoebe is such a ’sore loser’ when Ross tries to teach her how to ride a bicycle. She falls down the bicycle and that scene was truly funny! Ross feels so bad that she falls …
Happy Town on ABC
I am a total TV addict, so I was excited when I saw the previews for a new mystery/drama on ABC, ironically called “Happy Town.” The previews touted the show to be about a small Midwestern town with a deep, dark secret. I figured this kind of show would …

The Cleaner: Meet the Joneses

Ghost Hunters: I am Not Guilty

Seinfeld: The Comeback TV Show
I am not a fan of Seinfeld. To me, it’s one of the most boring comedies ever on TV. The only reason I watched The Comeback is because the IMDB lists one of my favorite actors as being on the show. He is on it, or …
In the Flesh (BBC Three Drama)
Just a few years ago vampires were all the rage in pop culture, especially with everything related to teenagers. It all started with Stephenie Meyer’s series of books “Twilight”, which flew off the shelves, and continued to a blockbuster movie series that starred Hollywood’s hottest young elite. Soon came …
