Doctor Who: Season 4, Episode 1: Voyage of the Damned
This Christmas special picks up right where “Last of the Time Lords” (or Time Crash if you count that short special”) left off, with the now companionless Doctor crashing into the Titanic. Well, it’s not THE Titanic, but a tourist space cruiser that just happens to resemble the …
Birdseye Steamfresh Brussel Sprouts
My wife and I had a chicken dinner last night and wanted a vegetable to go with it. Since we hadn’t had brussel sprouts in a while, we decided to pick up a bag of them from the Birdseye Steamfresh brand.
I was very disappointed.
To be fair, I usually don’t …

Turner Classic Movies has produced a wonderfully simple biography on Ron Howard, known to some as Opie on “The Andy Griffith Show” and as Richie on “Happy Days”, and well respected as one of Hollywood’s leading movie directors. It’s called “Ron Howard: 50 Years in Film.”
There’s nothing glitzy …

Brain Games (tv show)
One of the most interesting new television shows that I’ve discovered recently is one called Brain Games that comes from time to time on the cable television channel National Geographic. I think that the reason why I like it so much and the reason it stands out is because …
The Parkers TV show
I think The Parkers is an OK TV show. Sometimes they show was funny, but I was annoyed by it at times. I really think this show was not written very well. The main plot of the show was Monique the fat woman trying to hook up with the professor. …

WWE
I used to watch this show regularly in my teens. Earlier it was called WWF. It was one of the most entertaining sports that I have ever seen. Earlier I used to think that those fights are real. Only later I realized that they are professionally trained athletes …
As the World Turns: September 17, 2010 TV Show
As the World Turns from September 17, 2010 was the last of the series as this decades-old soap left the airwaves for ever. The hour long program was more of a Don Hastings reflection show, a compilation of vignettes in fact, that wrap it all up forever. …

Dancing with the Stars - Results 5/12/09

Sea Hunt: River Treasure TV Show
Oh goodness, we are back in some South American unnamed country again. I really don’t like these episodes of Sea Hunt that take diver Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) to these locales. I want underwater adventures, and I refuse to believe that they couldn’t come up with more …
Two and a Half Men Season 7 Episode 15
Every time I watch two and a Half Men I remember the times this show actually used to make me laugh - it’s been a long time and this episode was no different.

Alias Smith and Jones: Alias Smith and Jones (pilot)
Alias Smith and Jones is a lighthearted western that was very much like the theatrical super film, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, which I also loved. In the TV show, Pete Duel is Paul Newman; that is, Hannibal Heyes is the equivalent to Butch Cassidy. That makes …

MASH: Der Tag
I haven’t seen the MASH episode Der Tag before but I have to admit, after finally seeing it, it was kind of cute. Not hillarious, but entertaining none the less.
It falls shortly after Colonel Potter joins the unit but before Frank Burns leaves and involves B.J. and Hawkeye having …
Hercules:The Legendary Journeys TV show
This is my favorite episode from the first season of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. Although a little cheesy at times (and what Hercules episode isn’t,to a certain extant),it is humorous,fast-paced and just plain fun. And I always enjoy it when Michael Hurst,who plays Hercules best friend,Iolaus,joins the cast because …

Airing on October 1, 1960 was the final show of Sea Hunt’s third season. Seasons were different back in the day, and they were much longer. This show, Man Overboard, was actually the 39th program of the year. Can you imagine? I do miss the …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Shades of Gray
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 …
A Man Called Hawk: The Divided Child
From February 1989, A Man Called Hawk: The Divided Child isn’t a show that I enjoyed very much. In fact, I had a difficult time keeping focused on it during the first half. There was a lot of action and shoot ‘em up, and it just didn’t …
TNA Total Non-stop Agony
I’ll freely admit I am a wrestling fan. I know it is scripted and out comes are predetermined, but you still have to give credit to the wrestlers who pull off the moves in a safe and entertaining way. Lately though TNA Total Non-stop Action on Spike TV has …
The Inbetweeners - Series 3 -
The third series of The Inbetweeners. It got off to a great start in my opinion with the first couple of episodes, especially as it had a lot to live up to after the first two series. I think they also had a lot to live up to because …

There’s lots going on in Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 17 - Lost and Found, beginning with Leslie Mallory’s Russian boyfriend being taken against his will. Alexi had some neat competitive scenes early on with Richard Dean Anderson’s Simon Adams, but since those early shows, most of his time …
Catterick
Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer aren’t the most straight laced of comics, and they’re certainly not the kind of performers who’ll appeal to everybody. However, with their sitcom “Catterick”, the offbeat pair manage to deliver something surprisingly…well traditional wouldn’t be the right word to use, but they don’t do …
Criminal Minds —“ Season One —“ Episode Seventeen —“ A Real Rain
Finally a case in New York City! Someone was going around killing convicts that got off for one reason or another. That leads to that thought, does this unsub really need to be stopped? That bottles down to a question of ethics. If the law cant touch the …
Psych: An Evening with Mr. Yang
Last night’s Psych season finale “An Evening with Mr. Yang” was somewhat interesting but yet a disappointment at the same time.
I liked the idea of a super-genius serial killer taking on Shawn one-on-one and leaving clues for him to solve to save the life of a waitress and then …
That 70s Show: Eric’s Burger Job
Well, that episode of “That 70s Show” was pretty decent; Eric’s Burger Job.
Basically, the episode has Eric getting a job at “Fatso Burger” working as a cashier and doing other crappy jobs around the restaurant. He does it to prove to Red he’s responsible and, even though he hates …
MacGyver: Thin Ice
The Thin Ice episode of MacGyver was more fun for hockey-loving Richard Dean Anderson whose MacGyver character returns home to Minnesota to help his old coach. The coach has been laid up and needs Mac to coach the team through the playoffs. Mac doesn’t hesitate to go.
Now …
“Charmed” Season 1 Episode 2: I’ve Got You Under My Skin
The second episode of the TNT series “Charmed” of their first season entitled “I’ve got you under my skin” was not only suspenseful but very entertaining. I really enjoyed getting to know the three Hallowell sister’s even better and see how their powers are causing not only strength between …

Bones: The Pain in the Heart
Sometimes a clever twist at the end of a season finale is a good thing for a series. Other times, like in the case of the show Bones, it might not be such a great move.
I missed seeing the season finale, The Pain in the Heart, when it first …

Sparacus:Blood and Sand

Law & Order SVU TV Episode : Raw
I had intended on being in bed last night by 9. But, I ended up watching a re-run of Law & Order SVU; Raw. I have to tell you, it was one of the most intense episodes I’ve seen.
