Babylon 5: Season 1, Episode 6: The Parliament of Dreams
Babylon 5 prepares to host a festival that will allow various races from across the galaxy to give a demonstration regarding their dominant religion. When the episode began, I was expecting some sort of tirade, but outside of Garibaldi’s comment about how it’s a bad idea, the script …
Mama’s Family
Mama’s Family is a very funny yet great TV show. Thelma Harper is a crazy old lady who takes care of her family. It’s actually quite sad that her son and her wife live in her basement. Mama is a very nice old lady until someone gets on her nerves. …
Bones: A Boy in a Tree
I was watching Bones yesterday afternoon and came across a good episode “A Boy in a Tree.”
The reason I liked this episode is you have a big mystery that needs to be solved. Was the son of a diplomat murdered, or did he simply kill himself by hanging himself …
Death Note Episode 10
Death Note Episode 10 involves Light and L having a “friendly” tennis mach. L is just trying to be friendly while observing Light to see how he behaves, while Light is trying to figure out how to not let L suspect that he is Kira.
This episode was really interesting. …
Pokemon (TV Show) - Electric Shock Showdown (Episode)
“Electric Shock Showdown” is an episode of the “Pokemon” television series. This episode is quite good for two reasons: the gym battle is very well animated and fast-paced and the dilemma that Pikachu finds itself in when faced with the prospects of evolving to its next evolutionary stage so …
Law and Order: CI Season 1, Episode 6
This episode is where Law and Order Criminal Intent finally began to find its footing. Yet at the same time, it has a very familiar feel to it. As you’re watching the episode, you start to wonder if you’ve seen it before on one of the other Law and …
Little Britain show
A smash hit that spawned a wealth of catchphrases, Little Britain has certainly been one of the big hits of British television of the past ten years. The product of Matt Lucas and David Walliams, Little Britain first arrived on British television screens back in 2003 when it launched …
The Two Coreys: Episode 2.3 - Career Moves
Corey Haim is goal-setting and trying to restart his acting career again. Good stuff and all, that’s fine. What’s crazy is how both Coreys are trying to get assistants “at the same time” to make their lives easier. Now isn’t that flipping coincidence? Now I’m starting to wonder how …
Kim Possible Ssn 3: Emotion Sickness
Kim Possible is a show about a teenage cheerleader who regularly saves the world with her two sidekicks, Ron (a bumbling fellow student) and Rufus ( a sentient naked mole rat). The crime fighting trio has many enemies, but the most interesting are Drakken, a blue skinned mad …

The action continues from the fifth-season opener of MacGyver with The Legend of the Holy Rose Part 2. MacGyver is helping an old friend from his neighborhood search for Diana’s Temple, or the Holy Grail. The two are being chased by the evil Erich Von Leer, played …
Project Runway: What a girl wants
If designing for the judges each week isn’t tough enough, Project Runway’s episode, What a Girls Wants, really sets the designers up for a reality check.
When Heidi announced they would be designing outfits for one of the most important events in a woman’s life, I figured the challenge would …
Tenspeed and Brown Shoe: The Millionaire’s Life TV Show
Tenspeed and Brown Shoe: The Millionaire’s Life aired originally in March 1980 and was the detective show’s fifth outing. By now, we’re pretty comfortable in the unique relationship that is building between Lionel Whitney (Jeff Goldblum) and sometimes con man, E.L. ‘Tenspeed’ Turner (Ben Vereen).
This episode actually shows …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Peacemaker TV Show
The ninth show of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea in its second year on the air is called The Peacemaker. There’s a nice guest cast in this hour of entertainment which includes John Cassavetes as Everett Lang, Time Tunnel’s Whit Bissell as Connors, Irene Tsu as …
Ghost Hunters Academy Season 2 Finale
Well, I have to say this about Ghost Hunters Academy; they really don’t have a whole lot of episodes. The show just came on the air not that long ago and they had the season finale last night.
The finale itself wasn’t too bad, the remaining three cadets got to …
The Big Bang Theory show
I find this show irritating because it elevates educated nerds to a level of admiration that they do not deserve. A comedy about nerds is neither original nor enticing regardless of the deceptive title. Nerds are called thusly because they do not fit into the society of …
Sea Hunt: Expedition TV Show
Expedition is a fourth year show from the underwater action adventure series, Sea Hunt. The show starred Lloyd Bridges as Mike Nelson, ex-Navy frogman and expert deep sea diving expert.
Robert F. Simon guest stars as Professor Aaron Halliday, Nelson’s old history professor. He calls Nelson to help …
Gilligan’s Island - Waiting for Watubi TV show
This episode stinks in my opinion. I don’t like watching it since there is too much strife and witchcraft tendencies. Skipper believes all the curse superstition associated with witchdoctors and tiki idols. Waiting for Watubi is full of hardship on the Skippers part and we have to watch …
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Crystal Hawks
From November 1993, The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Crystal Hawks started off with great curiosity as our hero is on the run, having been accused of murder. While I’m not that thrilled with the murderous drama of the tale, I did like guest star Sheena Easton as …
Cowboy Beboop Episode 15 (Anime)
Cowboy Bebop Episode 15 has Jet, Faye, and Spike going after a con man named Whitney Hagas Matsumoto, a man Faye knew and we learn about her past.
This was a great episode because it gave Faye Valentine a back-story and revealed more about her, and why she has a …
Sea Hunt: Underwater Security TV Show
Sea Hunt presented an intriguing and dramatic episode for its third showing of its second season on the air. Entitled Underwater Security, it starts out with a suspenseful and uncertain beginning. The narration, spoken by Lloyd Bridges in the voice of his character, deep sea diving expert …
The 100 - TV Show (2014)
‘The 100′ is a relatively new show, having premiered earlier this year. It’s already into it’s second season and it is definitely an interesting show. The concept of the show was developed from the first book (The 100) of a series written by Kass Morgan. I watch alot of TV …
The Twilight Zone: And When the Sky Was Opened TV Show
The Twilight Zone: And When the Sky Was Opened is a flight of fancy in a sense in that it’s hard to tell what the reality is. Even at the end of the show, I’m not sure we know the reality. Was it that people and property …
Step by Step
Step by Step is a really cool show. I always laughed when I saw this show. The whole family is pretty funny. I think the stories in the show are pretty well written and I like the fact that they teach people a life lesson. I think that this movie …
A Taste for Death - Part 1
A Taste for Death - Part 1 from the P.D. James novel was produced in 1988 and starred Roy Marsden as Inspector Adam Dalgliesh. Like most of these movies/mini-series that are made, this is a story with lots of little subplots and a lot of characters. It …
Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the French Interpreter TV Show
I have so very much enjoyed the handful of 1954-1955 episodes of Sherlock Holmes that I’ve seen. This TV series starred Ronald Howard as the famous detective. I really like his smooth portrayal of Holmes. This specific entry is the 14th episode of the series and …
Dancing with the Stars - Final Performance Show - 5/24/2010
My problem in the last few years with Dancing with the Stars is that the judges have favorites and they push for them. It’s a bit of selective visuals.
Here’s my current case in point. The last free dance performance of the night was Derek Hough and celebrity …
House TV Episode: Unwritten
Well, I ended up liking Monday night’s episode of House, “Unwritten” a little more than I thought I would. But, I have to be honest, I’m still not as big of a fan of this series as I used to be.
The case itself wasn’t terrible. House is treating his …
Samsung PN50C430 50 inch 720p Plasma HDTV
In the company that I work for right now, there was a recent drawing for all the employees in a celebration-ceremony. Expecting that my luck, like always, wouldn’t get me drawn; I went for the free food and drinks. So when I heard my name that I had selected …
John and kate plus 8
John and kate plus 8 is a reality show about a young couple who have sextuplets and a pair of older twin sisters.
The show started when the sextuplets were just babies until today were their four years old. It just seems like i got addicted to this …
Alias TV-Show
When I started to watch Alias when it came out I was pleasantly surprised as it was written very well and stories lines that were gripping and catchy. Especially because the main character is torn between 2 things trying to keep her spy live from interfering with her personal …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 20 - Friends and Lovers
There are a couple of interesting points to Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 20 - Friends and Lovers that kept me viewing with anticipation.
First, there was another face off between Simon (Richard Dean Anderson) and Jack (Charles Frank) over Celia (Susan Dey). It’s such a twisted triangle that isn’t …
Centennial - an epic mini-series
Centennial, the mini-series, is introduced to the audience by James Michener, the man who authored the novel on which the mini-series is based. It’s an easy and casual way to tell us what is in store.
1795 is when the story really begins with a brave and colorful Frenchman …
Stargate SG-1: Affinity
Stargate SG-1: Affinity is a decent entry into the eighth season of this long-time television show. After all these years, Teal’c is finally allowed to get an apartment outside the base, but his constant involvement in community situations, particularly involving crimes, is a cause of concern for Washington.
There’s …
Flip That House TLC show
Flip That House is a TLC show where people purchase houses, fix them up and then try to sell them for a sometimes huge profit. I think this is a very interesting show to watch. Its fun to see how much of a profit people can make off of …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Data’s Day
Star Trek: The Next Generation - “Data’s Day” is a fun episode to watch. Unlike every other episode of the series, this episode’s story is told from Data’s perspective. The story follows Data as he goes about his “typical day” while the character speaks in the background. Data is …
The League of Gentlemen - Series One
The League of Gentlemen is a strange show. Set in the fictional, northern town of Royston Vasey populated by a rabble of bizarre individuals; the show, superficially, appears a traditional enough sitcom. But it’s not.
Rather than jump between sketches, putting the same old faces through the same old …
30 Rock (TV Show)
I am not a huge fan of TV shows, I can’t even name five shows which I have watched and seriously enjoyed, and it’s not like I don’t give them a chance, I’ve spent my fair share of time trying to get into them. That being said, I am …
Wagon Train: The Widow O’Rourke Story
Wagon Train: The Widow O’Rourke Story is one of my favorites. It’s really quite different and interesting, and Robert Fuller gets to play two parts. Along with his regular role as Cooper Smith, the scout for the wagon train, in flashbacks he plays the Irish husband of …
Man vs Wild TV show
Man vs Wild is a hit TV show on discovery channel, a very unexpected blow out. The program has something to appeal to everyone; from the beautiful scenery, the intensity of the plot, the outrageous feats, education value, and the thrill of it all.
I make it a chore to …
So You Think You Can Dance: Top Six Perform Again TV Show
So You Think You Can Dance - Top Six Perform Again was a terrific night of TV viewing. Rather than going routine by routine, here are my thoughts on the top six.
Kent - He was just awesome. He’s been my favorite throughout the series. He’s the …
Wagon Train: The Robert Harrison Clarke Story
Another of my favorite ninety minute, color episodes of Wagon Train is The Robert Harrison Clarke Story. It guest stars Michael Rennie, who was a terrific actor. He plays Clarke, an Englishmen who is traveling through the west to basically disprove the many things he’s read in …
The Twilight Zone: Still Valley TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Still Valley is another one of the shows that I’ve never been all that crazy about. It’s a little spooky and weird, not in a scary way but just in its telling. It involves some black magic, and that’s not my thing either.
This is …
The Andy Griffith Show: Convicts-at-Large TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Convicts-at-Large has some funny moments to it, even though it’s not high up on my personal list of favorite episodes. It’s a third-year show that focuses on the bad luck of Deputy Barney Fife (Don Knotts) and Floyd the barber (Howard McNear) end up …
Ghost Hunters: Congress Theater
We stayed up to watch the later episode of Ghost Hunters since SVU was on at 8. We were both half asleep on the couch and, to be honest, after watching the investigation of the Congress Theater in Chicago, I’m not sure it was worth staying up for.
On one …
The Young Rebels: Stalemate TV Show
Stalemate is another good episode of the 1970 drama, The Young Rebels, which starred a magnificent young cast which included Rick Ely, Louis Gossett Jr., and Phillippe Forquet. Hilary Thompson is also on board, playing Ely’s girlfriend on the show.
I enjoy this show because it’s a theme that, …
CSI New York Season 8 Episode 5
Episode 5 of season 8 of CSI New York might just as well be the most touching and most intriguing episode on the show so far. I have lost count on the number of twist in the plot before arriving at the correct chain of event and the criminal …
Columbo: By Dawn’s Early Light TV Show
In the day of Columbo on television, there were two British Patricks who were quite respected and who did a lot of TV work. They were frequently seen, and both did appearances on Columbo. The problem is that one was entertaining and the other turned me off …
M*A*S*H: Wheelers and Dealers
M*A*S*H: Wheelers and Dealers isn’t a favorite really. One of the reasons why is that it feels like a retread. The specific segment I’m thinking of hasn’t been done specifically, the after effects of it have been.
The story rotates around B.J. Hunnicutt (Mike Farrell). He’s gotten …
Doctor Who season 1 Episode 1 Rose
I have heard quite a lot about this show so I decided to watch it when they finally started showing it on our public television. I knew it was a science fiction show but III didn’t know what to expect actually.
This episode is located in London, where a rather …
