TV Reviews
Judge Judy
I just adore Judge Judy. She is a real Judge called Judith Sheindlin who, in this show, presides over real cases from the small claims court. The show has been running from 1996 and is still being made and in every episode we see two or three …
Death of an Expert Witness - Part 1
Death of an Expert Witness - Part 1 gives us something different than we see in most other P.D. James film adaptations. We get the date of the story, which helps the viewer to track how much time has elapsed between scenes. This ultimately becomes important in understanding …
Dora the Explorer: Rapido Tico
I ended up coming home yesterday to my daughter watching Dora the Explorer on TV (thank you Direct TV for all those kids’ channels). As I sat down relaxing, I ended up watching one episode with her “Rapido Tico.”
This episode was basically dedicated to their friend Tico the squirrel, …
Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares La Parra
Gordon Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares La Parra. This is one of our favourite episodes of Ramsey’s Kitchen nightmares as this one is set on the Costa del Sol in a town called Nerja. The restaurant in question is run an English guy who wants to do something different …
Mr. Monk Gets Lotto Fever
As far as Monk episodes go, Mr. Monk Gets Lotto Fever was actually one of the worse ones I’ve seen.
While the side-plot of Natalie getting a job as television’s lotto girl was somewhat interesting, the reality was the show itself was a bit cruddy because there was really no …
The Office: The Chair Model
Michal has broken up with Jan, and he has decided it is time to start dating. His plan is to convince someone in the office to set him up. How he does this is to tell everyone in the office that if they don’t give him the name and …
M*A*S*H: A Smattering of Intelligence
M*A*S*H: A Smattering of Intelligence is the final episode of season two for this hit comedy series. In it, Edward Winter returns. He’d been in an episode a few weeks before this playing another character, but the one he establishes here, Colonel Samuel Flagg, is the one …
Monk TV series
Monk is a show on the USA network. It’s about a private detective that’s been put on leave from the local police department when he had a psychological break down after the death of his wife. Mr. Monk is an excellent detective and although he’s no longer part of …
The Jetsons
The Jetsons was an animated television series that I used to watch when I was little. It used to come sometimes in the evenings before I had access to cable television on a local television channel. I can rememebr having some amount of interest in it because it was …
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 …
The Twilight Zone: The Trouble with Templeton TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Trouble with Templeton is another one of the many shows where a person finds solace in their past. Sometimes these outings end up positively and sometimes not. I like this one because it comes with a bit of a message that is …
Doctor Who: Season 4, Episode 5: The Sontaran Stratagem
This episode features plenty of returns. The most obvious one being Martha, who calls the Doctor in to help her with a case she is working on. The other two are only noticeable if you are familiar with the franchise in its classic iteration. As I …
CSI Season 5 Episode 22- Weeping Willows
This is a great example of why the show is so amazing. That was fantastic episode and I enjoyed it very much. It really kept me on the edge and I couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen. And because the story was so personal, you could …
The Secret Life of an American Teenager
The Secret Life of an American Teenager is a television series that really makes you want to think your decisions through before you make them.
The Secret Life of an American Teenager is based on a 15 year old girl who gets pregnant. The thought of this seems stressful …
Trinity Blood episode 23
After Father Abel Nightroad’s death, things take an very depressing turn. If you do not like depressing episodes, this might not be one for you. But, if you like action and comedy mixing it up, then you have just struck gold on your hunt. Trinity Blood: Episode twenty-three: “Crown …

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 …
That 70s Show: Let’s Spend the Night Together
We had to take my daughter to an open house at her new school last night so I didn’t get to watch my regular TV programs when I got home from work. I did, however, manage to catch a re-run of “That 70s Show” entitled Let’s Spend the Night …
AMC channel
AMC is a channel on television. It’s a pretty good channel. I don’t ever see any shows that I like on it but I see movies occasionally on it that I like. Last Halloween I know I watched AMC a lot because they played some good and classic horror …
Stargate SG-1: Lost City Part 2
Stargate SG-1: Lost City Part 2 is rather frustrating, even though it’s a fairly well crafted conclusion to the seventh season.
I’ll get right to the main point of my frustration. Jack’s situation is tentative. He gets all these goodbyes with characters. In fact, I believe Teal’c …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Great Wide World Over There TV Show
I was very surprised that I enjoyed The Ray Bradbury Theater: Great Wide World Over There as much as I did. This is a really quiet, unassuming half hour from October 1992. The cable show starred Tyne Daly as Cora Gibbs, Bill Johnson as her husband, Tom …
Super Mario World - A Little Learning
Super Mario World - “A Little Learning” is not one of my favorite episodes of the series. That is actually an understatement as I really do not care for this episode. The plot simply did not quite interest me. In this episode, Princess Toadstool opens a school and the …
Hawaii Five-O: Tiger by the Tail
Hawaii Five-O: Tiger by the Tail begins with a young singer performing in a nightclub. Then he gets kidnapped right after the show. The execution of this scene was pretty lame, even for the era. It’s not the plot; it’s just how it was directed …
Monster Episode 3
Monster Episode 3 begins with the murders of Dr. Heinemann and the other doctors who opposed DR. Tenma, then the twins disappear and a short time later, Dr. Tenma is promoted to Chief of Surgery. Nine years later, Dr. Tenma treats a man who was hit by a …
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 …
CHiPs: Disaster Squad
Erik Estrada and Larry Wilcox are back in action with CHiPs: Disaster Squad from the show’s second season. The thread that loops all the pieces together in this show is a cute little boy named Christian Zika. He is a little reminiscent of Robbie Rist, the sort …
MacGyver: The Challenge
Cuba Gooding Jr. stands out in this fourth season episode of MacGyver called The Challenge. Of note off the top is that the show was directed by Dana Elcar, who doesn’t appear in the episode. Elcar did an outstanding job with this show. Not only did …
Operation Repo TV show
Operation Repo: is one of the most action-packed shows on TV (with it airing every Monday at 9:30 p.m.). It shows the job of a repo man/woman in “extreme” situations. Unlike most reality shows, Operation Repo shows everything, including them getting shot at up-close. Sometimes characters are actually …
Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: Shadow Assassin TV Show
Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: Shadow Assassin has a couple of different dramatic angles to the plot. In part, there’s another serial killer on the loose, known as the Shadow Assassin. This comes to the front over some book that reveals secrets, not unlike having magician ‘how …
The Secret Life of… TV show
The Secret Life of… is a show that comes on the Food Network on Monday nights at 10 pm/9 central. I love this show! What it is is the host, Jim, picks a topic and then we get to learn all about it! We learn about it’s history, how …
One Tree Hill
I have been watching One Tree Hill since it first started in 2003. I had just had my first child and was 20 years old. I started watching because I liked the storyline of all the different highschool situations. I could find a character that reminded me of each …
