Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn: 9-16-10 TV Show
Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn from the 16th of September, 2010 focused on Breakfast Favorites, using the perspective of how easy it can be to make homemade products. The thing is, it wasn’t easy for me and this was probably my least favorite episode of the opening …

TV Show: Seducing Cindy
When we got Direct TV, we ended up with several channels we never had before. And, as a result, came across a few television shows we had never knew existed.
One of those shows was a show called Seducing Cindy, which was airing on our reality TV channel. Since the …
Nana Televsion Show
Nana is the second anime I have seen by manga artist Ai Yazawa, an it lived up to all my expectations. I was highly pleased with the drawing style, the originality in design, the great choice of music, and the heart put into the storyline. It was …
Hair Battle Spectacular: Shake It, Don’t Break It TV Show
Hair Battle Spectacular: Shake It, Don’t Break was the latest hour of this crazy reality competition which is now down to five stylists whose speciality is creating fantasy hairdos. When I say fantasy, I mean crazy, far out, and nearly unimaginable updos that you can’t help but notice, …
Lucy Must Be Traded, Charlie Brown TV Show
Peanuts is more than a cartoon. It’s a way of life, entertaining adults and kids. It simply transcends so many boundaries. One of the more recent half hour television specials was called Lucy Must Be Traded, Charlie Brown, and it is full of funny moments as …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Dream Girl TV Show
In February 1962, the 21st episode of Have Gun - Will Travel’s fifth season aired. The show was titled Dream Girl and guest starred Peggy Ann Garner as Ginger Adams. She’s the girl Paladin (Richard Boone) and a young miner named Buddy Webster are trying to find. …
Late Show with David Letterman
David letterman is a very funny late night show that I have been watching since I was a small child. The Late show with David letterman is much like all other late night shows.
The show starts off with a stand up routine by letterman that usually discusses topics that …
Legend of the Seeker: Sacrifice
This week’s “Legend of the Seeker” was far better than past episodes. “The Legend of the Seeker” is based on Terry Goodkind’s sword of truth series of books, and for the first time watching an episode felt like it was really connected to the book.
I’ve been trying to be …
Highway Patrol: The Truckers TV Show
This April 1958 episode of Highway Patrol called The Truckers might be a little misleading with its title. It’s not about truckers as we think of them today; in fact, it’s really not about them much at all. The real focus is a husband and wife team …
Birds of Prey TV show episode 2: Slick
The pilot for this series was a mixed bag. There was a lot of stuff that I really liked and stuff that I felt was either unwelcome or unnecessary. This episode is a bit more consistent and balanced and it ends up working both for and against …
The Great British Bake Off: S1, Ep2 TV Show
The second of six episodes for The Great British Bake Off occurs in Scotland, and it’s quite picturesque. I think I love watching the scenery almost more than I do the cooking aspects of these programs. I also love the cooking set up which has the bakers under …
Stargate SG-1: Politics
Stargate SG-1: Politics continues the season 1 ending arc with the first of the annual ‘clips’ shows. Essentially, for budget purposes, one episode of SG-1 per season is some kind of show where the bulk of the story is shown using clips of past episodes. The new …
Columbo: Double Shock TV Show
In my last review for the prior episode of Columbo, which was called The Most Dangerous Match, I stated that sometimes even good actors can’t draw a person into a story. Unfortunately, for me, that is again the case with the Double Shock episode, which ended the detective …
Chef Academy TV show
Chef Academy may look like all the other reality shows on TV. But it certainly is not. First of all this show doesn’t have the typical elimination set up. There are challenges. But the whole point is that the participants on the show graduate. …
A-Team TV Episode: Children of Jamestown
I have gotten re-hooked on the show A-Team recently and, growing tired of waiting for re-runs to air on TV, I ended up loading the first season of the show on my Netflix player.
One of the episodes I watched yesterday was really the third episode of the series (after …
A Man Called Hawk: If Memory Serves
A Man Called Hawk: If Memory Serves has an interesting premise, one I haven’t quite seen before, at least not in this type of presentation. The story revolves around Alex Chavin (Paul Butler), a Haitian man who remembers everything he hears and reads. It’s not a photographic …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Death of a Gunfighter TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Death of a Gunfighter is an odd story. Paladin rides into a New Mexico town intending to take a job for John Sebrey. Sebrey is involved in a deadly feud with Juan Carlos Morrita, who had killed several men. However, Paladin …
M*A*S*H: Bananas, Crackers and Nuts
In M*A*S*H: Bananas, Crackers and Nuts, Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) and Trapper John McIntyre (Wayne Rogers) have their first fight. They realize they’re just tired, and it’s time for a week in Tokyo. Thus, the two set in motion a plan to elicit their recreational time away …
Project Runway Philippines
I am a great fan of Project Runway, and I have watched all the seasons of the US version. I enjoy the bickering, but I also marvel at the camaraderie that a contest creates with artistic souls. Because I enjoyed this so much, and continue to enjoy it in …
Write & Wrong TV movie
The Lifetime Television movie “Write & Wrong” is a courageous examination of aging in a medium that is perpetually young. Byrdie is an oscar-nominated who is told that her characters are too old and her themes are too stale for the 18-28 crowd that the new (read almost fetal) …
Psych: Lassie did a bad thing
While I’m not as big of a fan as the show “Psych” as I used to be, mostly because I really find it hard to believe everyone is still falling for the fake psychic routine, it does still manage to have the occassional good episode from time to time. …
The Best of Tonight Show: Stand-Up Comedians (a DVD collection)
The great Johnny Carson’s legacy lives on in a DVD collection called Stand-Up Comedians. Actually, Carson pretty much just does the introductions here. The emphasis is very much on the group of comedians who performed monologues. Other DVD collections highlight Carson’s mastery, and those are the …
That 70s Show: Sparks
Oh My God, that was one funny episode of the series That 70s Show. I thought I would have a hard time breathing as hard as I was laughing.
Basically, this is one of the episodes that took place when Eric and Donna were going to get married. She gets …
Spongebob: New Digs
I was watching Spongebob Squarepants with my daughter this morning and was watching an episode that was kind of funny; “New Digs.”
Basically, Spongebob freaks out because he’s one minute late for work for the first time ever and, after being “punished” by Mr. Krabs, he decides the best way …
Legend: Custer’s Next to Last Stand
Custer’s Next to Last Stand is the fourth episode of this Richard Dean Anderson futuristic western from May 1995. As many of the shows do, this one combines some realism with their fiction. As you can tell from the title, it’s George Custer who gets the honor …
The Simpsons Season 4 Episode 15
It is Valentine’s day and everyone is celebrating. The Simpsons are celebrating too. Marge cooks up a nice breakfast for Homer. Homer does not have anything special planned for Marge. He again forgets to get Marge a present. In school too kids are celebrating. Everyone gives one another a …
Cracker: True Romance Part 1 TV show
Cracker is a British crime show that I just can’t get into. Of course, I’m watching a second season episode so I’m watching a show mid-stream, but it’s just boring and confusing to me. The main reason for that is that I just don’t get the main …
Parental Guidance
Parental Guidance is a local sitcom on country’s TV station and it stars the ever funny Adrian Pang and Jessica Hsuan. They play this married couple in the sitcom’s current second season. I have been watching them acting since Parental Guidance season one and it has been funny …
Laramie: General Delivery
I absolutely adore the General Delivery episode of Laramie. It’s the first show that Rod Cameron guest starred in, and each of his episodes were gems. Cameron is a dynamic actor, and he brings quality to all of his portrayals.
In Laramie: General Delivery, Ed Calder is a …
CSI: Hard Evidence
CSI: Hard Evidence for the Nintendo Wii duplicates the feeling and the style of the hit television show very well in my opinion. I enjoy watching the show and examining the clues with the characters, so I figured playing a game where I was in charge of solving the …
American Idol
American Idol is currently the number one show in the US. The show has already built itself a reputation of a top show, successfully surviving its first six seasons. TV Shows regularly fade away after a while, however American Idol is going strong into its 7th season. Its success …
Fil Products Service Television, Inc.
This is one of the two cable service networks serving the people of Dumaguete City and even some parts of the province of Negros Oriental. Compared to the other cable company, Fil Products Service Television, Inc. is far more complete and has very appealing service programs provided to their …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Beer Bad
You know, I normally like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but some episodes, like “Beer Bad” are just so stupid, you almost hate to admit you watch the show.
I get the whole point of the episode. The writers want to show the dangers of under aged drinking in a form …
Spongebob Squarepants Season One - Suds
Spongebob is sent home one day from work at the Krusty Krab because he is not feeling so well and he was not productive. It just kills him to leave work because he loves that place. The more and more that he sits around the house, he …
Doctor Who: Season 2, Episode 14: Doomsday
So ends the second season and Billie Piper’s run as Rose Tyler. With an ominous prediction from Satan, I was expecting Rose to die, and the episode really plays up the possibility, with Rose’s voice over confirming it.
“Shockingly”, it turns out that the Beast was lying, or at …
Bones: The Foot in the Foreclosure
I only got to watch maybe 3/4ths of the show Bones last night (I missed the first few minutes of it) but, from what I saw, it wasn’t too bad of an episode.
Booth and Brennan investigated a double homicide that first appeared to be one person burned to death …
Beast Wars - Maximal, No More
Beast Wars - Maximal, No More is one of my favorite episodes of the series, in part because it focuses heavily on Dinobot, but also because it is a well handled episode that is enjoyable to watch time and again. This episode serves as a follow-up to the events …
The Forgotten - Football John
While the second and third issues of this new ABC crime drama haven’t been as good as the pilot, they’ve still been entertaining and have held my interest. This third entry, Football John, was quite interesting.
For me, the main thrust of The Forgotten - Football John was to …
Justice League Unlimited: Ultimatum
I’m not certain that punching a lava man is a good idea. First, what’s to say it would be effective? Does anyone know what a lava man is made of? Secondly, it seems that since they are glowing red and spit lava on people that it could be dangerous, …
Stargate SG-1: Deadman Switch
The third season of Stargate SG-1 gets back on track with a really terrific episode called Deadman Switch. It guest stars Sam Jones (of Flash Gordon fame) as Aris Boch, an alien bounty hunter whose actions and motives keep the team guessing about what is really going on.
The …
Justice League Unlimited: Wake the Dead
This episode feels like a sequel to an episode I haven’t seen. In this episode, Solomon Grundy is brought back from the dead. Since he is a zombie I’m not entirely certain how that works, but it doesn’t matter because he’s not really very important to the episode.
Just like …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: All the Way
Buffy’s final Halloween centric episode is something of a mixed bag. While it does a great job in continuing the pre-existing character and story arcs to great effect, the story itself is weak and lacking. It certainly doesn’t manage to capture the playful essence of the holiday previously seen …
Dead Like Me
“Dead Like Me” was a Showtime original series which used to air on the cable television channel “Showtime” when I was still in high school. Like all the Showtime original series the plot was quite different from what many television shows going on at the time; hence I think …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Buccaneer TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Buccaneer is the 22nd show of this successful 1960’s TV series. It begins with a distraction at the secret sub harbor where the Seaview is docked in Santa Barbara. Of course, it’s not a secret to everyone, as is proved …
MacGyver: Phoenix Under Siege
The Phoenix Under Siege episode of MacGyver is another good episode. It’s the return of Harry Jackson, MacGyver’s grandfather, as played by the talented John Anderson. It’s a special anniversary for the two, though not a pleasant one. It seems the two are planning to attend …
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 …
The Real Housewives of New York
This wasn’t the first Real Housewives series that I started watching, but so far it is the only series that I have seen every episode of. The UK TV channel ITV2 has shown the whole series back to back from Mondays - Fridays an episode a day, so I …
