Synopsis: Goren and Eames track down a young jewel thief and realize that she is being mentored by Goren’s arch nemesis Nicole.

The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 22: F. Emasculata
This episode had a lot going for it. You had escaped convicts, a deadly virus, a government cover up, all the makings of a blockbuster mini-movie. Yet somehow, the whole was less than the sum of its parts.
I was going to nitpick the idea that …
Star Trek: Arena TV Show
Star Trek: Arena is another solid show that is so enjoyable to watch. I’ve always remembered this show. Okay, well, as a Trekker, I remember them all as I’ve seen them all more times than I can count. However, this one sticks in the mind more …

Ghost Hunters: Waverly Hills
After watching the last season two episode “Crescent Hills & Dr. Ellis” I was half expecting a big let down from the episode that followed it on the DVD “Waverly Hills.”
But, I will say, despite that anticipation, I wasn’t disappointed.
This episode brought the TAPS team to a run down …
Stargate SG-1: Shadowplay
Stargate SG-1: Shadowplay is hum drum for me. It bores me to no end. Its focus is a potential Kelownan civil war. The thing is, who cares? The Kelownans are selfish cowards, as evidenced by Jonas Quinn himself, so I’m not sure why Earth should …

Adam 12 - Log 92
This particular episode of “Adam-12″, “Log 92″ was one of the most dramatic and tragic shows of the series. It’s something we see everyday, how little things end up being a nightmare, how people lose control over silly issues, and how the failure to take a calming breath, …

CSI: New York: Out of the Sky TV Show

Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer: 9-15-10 TV Show
Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer from September 15, 2010 was another waste of time for me. This was just their third show, but again, I have to ask what the point is in watching two immature females trying to control the airwaves?
Alexis is this tall blonde who appears …

The Twilight Zone: The Dummy TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Dummy is another episode of this science fiction series that doesn’t appeal to me. I tend to turn it off if it comes on TV. All of these shows with ventriloquist dummies all tend to be a little too out there because …
Baywatch
Baywatch was a cool show in it’s time and I loved to watch it. I think Baywatch does not get the credit it deserves as all it is really known for is pretty girls running on the beach and when the show first came out it was a …
Shroud for a Nightingale - Part 2
Shroud for a Nightingale - Part 2 continues the P.D. James story that takes place at Nightingale Hospital. This confines the story to taking place mostly in the hospital, and thus, it’s a story I like better than several of the other city location stories. For whatever …

M*A*S*H: An Eye for a Tooth
I have to admit I really get a kick out of M*A*S*H: An Eye for a Tooth from season seven. It’s a show that focuses on humor via some practical jokes. Unlike some other episodes which have had prankster storylines that were over-the-job and almost boring, this …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Shades of Gray is the final episode of season two and while season two offered up some terrifically entertaining episodes like “Q Who”, “Elementary, Dear Data”, “Contagion” and “The Measure of a Man”, this is unfortunately not an episode that resides with the …
Rush (An Australian TV Series)

24: Action-packed TV Series
Can a number bring thrill and suspense to television viewers? I’d like to think so and 24 has done a very good job at that.
24 is an action-drama series that has spanned seven seasons already. It stars Keifer Sutherland as the famous (or infamous) Jack Bauer as a …
Top Shot: The Razor’s Edge TV Show
Top Shot: The Razor’s Edge was full of action and emotion. I really like this competition show where top shooters face off against one another using all types of weaponry. This one was a bit of a surprise as the elimination challenge involved the use of Bowie …
Sea Hunt: The Hero TV Show
From 1958, Sea Hunt: The Hero has some good bits to it and was interesting to watch, I’m happy to say. I like the opening where we learn what project Mike Nelson, expert skin diver, is working on at the moment, and that’s research to see if plant …
Ghost Whisperer: Dead Eye TV Show
The latest episode of Ghost Whisperer was a show called Dead Eye, which seems like a good title since when I look at the show’s star, it’s hard not to focus on her eyes, and that’s not really a good thing, and here’s why,.
The one thing about Jennifer Garner …
