The Simpsons TV Episode: Little Girl in the Big Ten
I finally got a chance to watch the entire episode of The Simpsons called “Little Girl in the Big Ten.” This one proved to be pretty darn funny.
Lisa is enrolled in gymnastics and, because she is the same size as the college girls enrolled in class, they naturally assume …
The Rapture (Discovery Channel - Religion Program)
The Discovery Channel just aired a program on The Rapture that I found rather interesting. The Rapture encompasses the idea of Jesus coming to rescue people who have had faith in Him prior to a seven year period of earthly damnation. I was surprised to learn that …
Stargate SG-1: The Tomb
The early season five episodes of Stargate SG-1 had so many neat episodes, including this one called The Tomb. It’s a keeper from the get-go, with Jack being his usual impatient self while Daniel tries to decipher the way into a ziggurat.
Stargate SG-1: The Tomb has SG-1 teamed …
M*A*S*H: War of Nerves
M*A*S*H: War of Nerves focuses on the troops of the 4077th just getting plain tired and sick of the war. They’re on the edge, frustrated, miserable, lonely, irritable, and all kinds of adjectives that scream they want out. Everyone is driving one another batty, and there just …
The Virginian: Storm Over Shiloh TV Show
Storm Over Shiloh was the 23rd episode of the 90 minute western The Virginian in its 7th season on the air. This is one of the more ensemble stories, meaning it’s one I tend to enjoy more than others. I’m really not very fond of shows where …
Dancing with the Stars: S11, Wk 2 Performance TV Show
For the second week of the current season of Dancing with the Stars, the stars danced either the quick step or the jive. Note, I don’t always agree with the judges, especially these three who I feel now pick favorites early and comment and score appropriately. Following …
Food Network in HD
If you recently bought a high definition TV then you should definately get all HD channels that are available on Dishnetwork or on cable. And the one channel that you must make sure you get is the Food Network channel in HD. I can garantee that it will make …
FYI TV Show
On the local SURIA channel, there is a time slot every week for FYI TV show. Its concept is supposed to be interactive, informative and educational and sometimes I think the formula works but at other times, not really.
The hosts consist of Fadilah, Huda and Suhaimi mainly …
The Twilight Zone: Kick the Can TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Kick the Can is definitely one of my favorite episodes of this series. I consider it to be one of the classics, in the top 15 of all the shows. What I really love about this show is the spirit, the message of …
Laramie: The Replacement TV Show
Laramie: The Replacement is one of my very favorite episodes of this series. It’s in the top 5, in fact. I absolutely love it. It’s the kind of the story that keeps me on the edge of my seat while also engaging my heart. The …
CHiPs: Supercycle
Quite honestly, I’ve never been a big fan of CHiPs: Supercycle. I’m not sure why, but the idea of this supercycle bothers me. Maybe it’s too Evil Kneivel for me.
One of the reasons the show doesn’t hit me with goodness is that there is too much time …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Michael Landon (#1) TV Show
Michael Landon had the honor of being roasted as the Man of the Hour in this mid-seventie edition of The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast. He also was honored again during the last season of roasts, making him one of only four performers to receive tribute twice with the …
K-ON! Anime
“K-ON!” is the anime series that I am currently hooked on and I strongly recommend it to anime lovers who enjoy watching series that are funny, enjoyable, exciting and educational. The fact that this anime also has lots of great songs in it is another bonus! The first time …
The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 1: Little Green Men
With the X-Files shut down, it seems like it would be difficult to continue the plot. If nothing else, you would expect the status quo to quickly reassert itself. Interestingly enough, this episode does neither of these things. It does indeed pick up after the events …
Highway Patrol: Typhoid Carrier TV Show
From November 1956, Highway Patrol: Typhoid Carrier has Chief Dan Mathews (Broderick Crawford) and his California Highway Patrol dealing with a potential outbreak of typhoid in the small community of Indian Valley. The problem is a man who is a known carrier of the disease. Frightened when …
That Girl: Kimono My House
While it’s cute enough, I’ve never really liked That Girl: Kimono My House all that much. I can’t really point out any special reason why it’s not a favorite, but that’s just the way I feel about it.
Apparently, Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) goes to Don Hollinger’s (Ted Bessell) …
Angel Episode 1.1: City Of
I started watching Angel back in high school. It was still the first season, though I was unaware of that at the time. I lost track of it around mid-season 2 and never really caught up. With reruns airing on TNT, it gave me a chance …
Simpsons: Bart of War
I’m watching a classic Simpsons episode “Bart of War” and I’m thinking it is absolutely hillarious.
Basically, you have Bart and Milhouse being caught committing a prank and, because they need more adult supervision, they are separated into two separate youth groups which start out trying to teach the kids …
Doctor Who: Season 2, Episode 13: Army of Ghosts
So begins the finale of the second season. Like pretty much every two parter in the show so far, this one is pretty much all build up. It’s well done build up, but build up none the less.
The Doctor and Rose return home so that Rose can …
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Showdown
Brisco and Lord Bowler go to Brisco’s hometown where Brisco ends up becoming the temporary sheriff in The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Showdown. This show was somewhat nice, giving us another glimpse into the past of the colorful Brisco. There were some definite highlights that make …
LAW AND ORDER TV SHOW
I really enjoy relaxing while I watch Law and Order on T.N.T. every night. I have been a court advocate, and worked with the law a great deal. I do a lot of critique watching while I watch this show, and I find it to be pretty close to …
This is Daniel Cook
Ok, I’ll admit I’m not a seven year old kid, and haven’t been for a while. But I have a fondness for the show. I mean, how brilliant is it to give a seven year old kid his own show? It is a wonderful little show, …

Ice Road Truckers: Convoy to Hell
Ice Road Truckers: Convoy to Hell was a bit on the calm side, which is unusual for this reality series which airs weekly on the History Channel. Usually, the show has plenty of spice, but for whatever reason, the action seemed a bit tame. Then again, sometimes …

House of Payne show
I have watched this show called house of Payne quite a few times. In general I really like it. It’s funny and entertaining. I watch it quite a bit now. Some episodes aren’t as good as others but that is true with any show. I like this show because …
Gareth Malone’s Extraordinary School for Boys TV Show
Okay, who is this Gareth Malone really? I know he’s British and that he loves music, but is he really someone with an award winning history and/or outstanding reputation? I can’t tell, and I really don’t know. I’m left to ponder the query though with the advent …
House: Joy
I’m not so sure about the cases Dr. House has been getting on the show House lately; they just don’t seem to stand out any more. But, I have to say the episode “Joy” really got me thinking and left me a bit depressed.
We found out last week that …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Winchester Quarantine
Richard Boone is in practically every scene of this western series. He’s the star, and that comes through loud and clear. He was a very talented actor and taught acting for years, too. Have Gun - Will Travel: Winchester Quarantine lets him show off a …
Ghost Hunters: Judgment Day
I only got a chance to watch bits and pieces of last night’s Ghost Hunters episode “Judgment Day” because I was putting my daughter to bed around that time. But, what I saw of it was definitely interesting.
Too often lately, the episodes have depended on EVPs for their evidence …
Highway Patrol: Psycho Killer TV Show
Psycho Killer was the 30th show of Highway Patrol’s third season and aired in April 1958. It’s an unusual subject for this show. Though characters have been killed, this was a case of a serial killer, and they showed the lead in to a third killing. …

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 …

In Here Come the Brides: The Firemaker, Jason Bolt (Robert Brown) and Aaron Stempel (Mark Lenard) make a bet over which one of their men can convince Lulu Bright (Stefani Warren) to get married. Aaron offers his man a position as chief accountant, complete with raise, if he …
Stargate SG-1: Enemies
Season 5 of Stargate SG-1 blasts its way onto the screen in a show called Enemies. It’s a good show well worth the hour watch.
Stargate SG-1: Enemies picks up where Season 4’s cliffhanger, Exodus, ended. One of the early scenes is a poignant conversation between Jack and …
Charlie Rose TV Show
For TV viewers who do not like situation comedies and all the reality TV “tripe”, I would recommend watching Charlie Rose at 10:30 on your local PBS station.
This show isn’t for everyone. If you are not well-read and don’t enjoy cerebral conversation, this show is not for you.
However, if …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Utterly Perfect Murder TV Show
Airing in February 1992, The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Utterly Perfect Murder was oddly intriguing and even compelling, which disturbs me a little. The show’s main star was Richard Kiley, who normally isn’t someone who captures my interest. That said, I have to admit that there was …
That Girl: That Meter Maid
Directed by Ted Bessell, That Girl: That Meter Maid continues the fourth season of this groundbreaking and liberating television comedy series. I’ve long remembered this episode. It was fun and cute. I’m not sure I’ve ever noticed that Bessell was the director. That made me …
American Idol
Is anyone else out there tired of American Idol? Sometimes I feel like I’m the only person in the country that doesn’t like it. I see why the show appeals to so many, but personally, I’m just plain sick of it!
First of all, most of the winners really haven’t …
Big Brother 9
I am here today to tell you about the greatest reality show on the air right now. That’s right, you guessed it - Big Brother 9.
Big Brother is currently in it’s 9th season and fans of the previous seasons will definitely not be disappointed with the latest installment of …
King Of Queens TV Show
The King Of Queens is yet another of my favorite TV shows.
Dough and Carrie Heffernan are a working couple with no kids. They live in Queens, New York.
Doug is a courier for IPS, while Carrie works as a secretary for a large Law Firm.
Carrie is very driven, she …
MacGyver: Kill Zone
Quite honestly, I hate MacGyver: Kill Zone and I hate it for a simple reason. I’m an animal lover, and I do *not* like what happens here. I don’t like what I have to look at in the opening scene that is the set up for the …
M*A*S*H: The M*A*S*H Olympics
In M*A*S*H: The M*A*S*H Olympics, Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) decides that his personnel are too out of shape and decides to institute an Olympics. This coincides with the Helsinki Olympics that were going on at the same time as the events of this episode.
The unit divides into …
CSI New York Season 2 Episode 9 City of Dolls
That was an interesting episode and I enjoyed it very much. Although there was something a bit strange about it. I can’t really put my finger on it, but there was something in the details of the story which was a bit bothersome. Yet, with the general themes of …
