Time Between Dog and Wolf: MBC Drama 2007
Time between dog and wolf; an action romance drama aired in July of last year from MBC, is one of the best suspense series I loved watched. I followed this series from the time it was shown, because I like Lee Jun Ki. In fact, that was the main …
Dancing with the Stars: 200th Show Results TV Show
The only real problem with the Dancing with the Stars results show for this 200th Performance week, the 7th week of the current season, is that it had to deal with election results break ins. I strongly suspect that is why the normal hour allotment was changed to …
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 …
The Virginian: Vengeance Is the Spur
I really have one major thing to say about The Virginian: Vengeance Is the Spur. I like the Alias Smith and Jones remake better. Seriously, it’s the same show with minor changes. I actually remember back in the seventies reading about how if a show seemed …
Trinity Blood episode 7
Okay first things first, this is an obvious rip off of peter pan. On episode seven of Trinity Blood, we are taken to the magical land of “Never Land”. You guessed it, “Never Land” is the title of this miraculous episode. Basically, Father Abel Nightroad and Father Leon Gracia …
The TV Show “Medium” on NBC
Although it’s not returning in the fall line up, and instead will be showing up again in the mid-season line up, the show “Medium” has fast become one of my favorites. “Medium” is based on the real life of one Allison Dubois, a research medium. It stars …
Max Headroom: War TV show
The War episode of Max Headroom is actually one I’ve seen before and with added interest. The reason for that is because it featured Lisa Niemi as a news reporter named Janie Crane. I remember chuckling a bit, though, because while we see Niemi several times, she …
Adam 12 - Season 1 DVD set
The season 1 DVD set for the “Adam-12″ TV series is a disaster. Universal Studios did a lousy job, almost as if they wanted the series to fail on DVD. It’s a low quality, full of freezes set.
The two-disk set comes encased in a holder. The …
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 …
Emergency!: Botulism
Emergency! is one of my all time favorite shows and I have very little that is big time negative to say about it. Most of the shows I adore, and that goes true for this episode, called Botulism. It’s from season one of this emergency medical drama …
How I Met Your Mother Season 1
I was a latecomer to the world of How I Met Your Mother. I think when the first season actually aired, I only watched one or two episodes, if even that. A local store was having a sale on the first season DVD set, so I decided to go …
Star Trek: Charlie X TV Show
I’ve seen those shows a zillion times, and I have clear cut favorites of ones I enjoy watching and ones that are viewed with reluctance. Star Trek: Charlie X is one of the latter episodes. Nothing against guest star Robert Walker, Jr., but he just annoyed me …
White Collar: Threads
Well, this second episode of White Collar wasn’t too bad considering I had a few doubts after the pilot episode.
At least, in this case, which involved New York Fashion week, he actually proved why he was, at one point, a criminal mastermind and used his intelligence to help trap …
Stargate Atlantis: Whispers
From September 2008, Stargate Atlantis: Whispers, episode 7 of season 5, again brings back the delightful character of Dr. Carson Beckett, played by Paul McGillion. They also have something new, an all female SG team. Now that’s a first.
The good and bad of Whispers from my point …
Survivor S20 Episode 3
This was a cool episode as we to to see James lose it. The Heroes are on a road to self destruction if you ask me, there seems to be no unity on their team and people are back-biting and sorting out alliances far too early in the …
M*A*S*H: The Light That Failed
A lot of M*A*S*H: The Light That Failed centers around a mystery novel that Charles receives and everyone wants to receive. There’s a lot of shared reading as the main cast makes their way through a book called The Rooster Crowed at Midnight. Then the group …
Fear the Walking Dead (Horror Drama Television Series)
AMC’s The Walking Dead has been one of my favourite television drama series for a few years now. However, while I do find the entire experience of Rick Grimes and his companions braving a zombie apocalypse riveting, that doesn’t mean the question of what happened before isn’t continuously hammering at …
Medium (TV Series)
My mother and I sit through re-runs of Medium. When I first saw Medium, I was not too interested since I really have no interest in the paranormal. However, when I inadvertently sat in one of its episodes, I thought it was more plausible than Ghost Whisperer. Medium follows …
Golden Girls Season 2
The second season of The Golden Girls was a really good one. The show combines four older women of an older age who live together in Miami, Florida. One of the better episodes involved Blanche’s much older father coming to town and marrying a woman less than half his …
MacGyver: The Assassin
This is the final episode of the first season of MacGyver. By now, the producers had figured out that Dana Elcar was a plus to the show. He’s in it once again, and like the show before, he has more action. In many of his first …
Whoopi: Shout TV Show
In the Shout episode of the 2003 comedy series, Whoopi, Courtney Rae (Wren T. Brown) is upset because an ATM ‘ate’ some of his money. He spends much of the show dealing with something many of us can truly understand — computerized answering systems. It’s a comical …
CHiPs: Return of the Turks
Larry Wilcox and Erik Estrada once again head up the action in CHiPs: Return of the Turks, a season two episode that includes guest appearances from Loyita Chapel, though her role is pretty minor, and Kaz Garas. Garas has some layers to his role. He’s Sid, an …
Bam’s Unholy Union
Last night I watched Bam’s Unholy Union on MTV, they were running a marathon of this show starring Bam Margera and his fiance( then) now Wife Melissa Rothchild, I think thats her name anyhow.
I have been a fan of Bam for quite sometime now. I have every season of …
Justice League Unlimited: The Cat and the Canary
This could be considered one of the smaller episodes of “Justice League Unlimited”. No one is saving the world or even a city. Most of the characters don’t even have superpowers. This is about why people are in the league and it’s far better than the episodes where they …
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia
One of the funniest shows on television is “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”. I caught the show in its first season and I really didn’t pay it much attention. Finally when I got with my current boyfriend I spent more time watching it because it is one of …
That Girl: Mission Improbable Part 2
That Girl: Mission Improbable Part 2 begins with the usual review of things that happened in the prior week’s opening episode where actress Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) agrees to spy on a sleep wear manufacturer’s competitor. She goes to work as a seamstress for the competitor, though she …
Bones: A Night at the Bones Museum
I took the time to watch the new episode of Bones last night “ A Night at the Bones Museum” and it turned out to be halfway decent.
Basically, an Egyptian mummy is discovered attached to an electric fence. After some investigating, they discover it is a somewhat famous mummy …
Family Guy: Family Gay
Peter goes gay in this so-so instalment of the popular animated serial, but unfortunately this simple enough idea turns out a disappointing twenty or so minutes.
The story is as simple has ever, with a to be expected ludicrous set up. Peter buys a retarded horse, enters into a derby, …
Full House Season 2
I fully admit that I own every season of Full House on DVD, even though special features are sadly lacking. The second season is when the show began picking up, and when it started to find its footing.
As much as I love the show, even I have to …
Criminal Minds: Exit Wounds TV Show
I’ve been watching Criminal Minds from the beginning, but I find that I am agreeing more and more with Mandy Patinkin who starred in this series originally and then left the show because it was too dark and upsetting. Sometimes I only half watch the shows which are …
Here Come the Brides: The Deadly Trade
Here Come the Brides: The Deadly Trade is the final episode of the first season and quite honestly, I’m not really crazy about it. It’s just a little darker than I like, and there is an animal bit that has always disturbed me.
The danger of logging is finally …
Heroes TV series
This is the newest TV series that has rocked the whole nation. It’s actually about several people who have super power abilities and how their destinies are tied together. When NBC started advertising their new series, my husband and I were so excited. We love the unexplained, and this …
NCIS season 7 episode 1 Truth or Consequences
I can’t believe we are at 7th season already and this show is still incredibly interesting. It is not like other criminal investigation shows that got really boring after a while, this on is always fresh and interesting.
The last season ended when Tony killed Ziva’s ex boyfriend and she …
Stargate SG1: Message In A Bottle
This episode revolves around SG1 bringing an artifact back to the SGC, only to have it “snap them in the ass,” as General Hammond says.
After finding an orb on a planet that resembles the moon, Daniel and Sam make a case to bring it back to earth with them. …
Stargate SG-1: Beachhead
Sam returns to the SGC in Stargate SG-1: Beachhead. She’s been at Area 51, but finally comes to help out with the latest crisis, by special request of General Landry. The only bad part about this is the vagueness of certain aspects of her private life, which …
Venture Bros TV show
Venture Bros is quite possibly the best Adult Swim original show. It follows the adventures of a super-scientist, his two teenage sons and his bodyguard as they face assorted villains, including Dr. Venture’s nemesis, the Monarch. But while this may sound like a standard action-adventure series, it’s far …
Oprah’s Big Give Episode 1
It seems like these days everyone has a reality show. Yes, Oprah has joined the reality bandwagon with her show The Big Give. On the first episode airing on Sunday March 2nd 2008, talk show queen Oprah Winfrey handed five groups of two contestants $2,500, a picture of someone …
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Dreams TV show
In 1982’s Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Dreams, Cameron Mitchell guest stars as Ben Shepherd, who works for the lumber company. Brian (Drake Hogestyn) decides he wants to learn that business and takes a break from the ranch for a while.
The merits of the show aside, there was …
Stargate SG-1: New Order Part 2
Stargate SG-1: New Order Part 2 makes the big transition official, but not until Jack has been unfrozen and the System Lords sent on their way.
The fun part of this episode is when Thor beams Daniel up to his ship, The Daniel Jackson. I adore that! Daniel …
The X-Files: Season 1, Episode 22: Born Again
After a young girl is brought into a police station claiming to be lost, the cop watching her suddenly falls out a window to his death. One of his fellow officers calls in Mulder and Scully as their work on the Tooms case caught her eye and she …
Ghost Hunters: Garden State Ghosts
Whenever the TAPS team ends up in New Jersey, it is almost always going to be a disappointment. The cases in the Garden State Ghosts episode weren’t much different.
They visited two places, an old mill and the proprietary house that once housed a royal governor. The highlight of both …
Street Hawk: The Adjuster
The 1985 crime drama series, Street Hawk presents as its third episode, The Adjuster, a show which guest stars Marjoe Gortner. I’m not a fan of Gortner’s, to be honest. He’s a little too quirky and off-kilter for my tastes. I’ve always been surprised that his …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Teachers Pet
As I mentioned in my review of the episode “Witch” Buffy the Vampire Slayer finds herself fighting a lot more than vampires in the first season. The episode Teachers Pet was somewhat interesting, but like a lot of the episodes in this series, left a lot open to discussion.
The …
Medium: Bring Your Daughter to Work Day TV Show
Medium: Bring Your Daughter to Work Day starts uniquely with Bridgette doing a video project where she introduces her family and their summer house guest, a ghost named Tony. Of course, it’s a dream Allison has.

Breakthrough with Tony Robbins Episode 4
Breakthrough with Tony Robbins Episode 4 deals with Scott and Mandy Smith who are dealing with Mandy’s panic attacks after their daughter died for a short time after she accidentally ran into the back of the car with her go cart.
This was a very sad episode because of …
Stargate SG-1: Divide and Conquer
Divide is exactly what Stargate SG-1: Divide and Conquer did to SG-1 fandom, and it didn’t conquer anything. All it did was sever the fandom even more.
Stargate SG-1: Divide and Conquer is the upsetisode that took footage from the previous Upgrades episode to serve the purposes of this …
The Twilight Zone: The Mind and the Matter TV Show
I suppose you could say that The Twilight Zone: The Mind and the Matter is a show about the human condition. It begins with Archibald Beechcroft (Shelley Berman) being annoyed with the world. He’s just a cantankerous man who is tired of noise and people, who he …
CHiPs: Bio-Rhythms
Tige Andrews and Katherine Cannon return in CHiPs: Bio-Rhythms. The two appeared in an early episode from this second season playing a father and daughter trucker. I have some issues with the development of this story.
In the opening, Jon and Ponch are overlooking the freeway and Jon …
Undercover Boss: Choice Hotels TV Show
Steve Joyce, CEO of Choice Hotels, is the executive going under cover in this first show of Undercover Boss’ second season. They’ve changed up the scenario a little bit to try to prevent people from realizing what is happening, now that this is the second year of the …
