Synopsis: While reluctantly helping country music star Lurleen Lumpkin get back on her feet, Marge discovers Lurleen’s dad abandoned her and seeks to reunite her with her father. Unfortunately, the dad turns out to be even more of a deadbeat than they imagined and he steals one of her …
Stargate SG-1: Bane
Stargate SG-1: Bane gives us a lot of big,huge, honkin’ bugs, as Jack O’Neill says. Opening scene is a hoot; I love it. Essentially, Teal’c gets stung and then has a really nasty reaction.
One of the pleasures of this episode is Tom McBeath as Harry Maybourne. …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Place for Abel Hix TV Show
From October 1962, Have Gun - Will Travel: Place for Abel Hix was the fourth outing for this western’s sixth season on the air. It would also be its last. One of the things that was really a bummer for this sixth season is that there wasn’t …
Hawaii Five-0: Ho’apono TV Show
Hawaii Five-0: Ho’apono was the latest episode of this crime drama to air. I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the opening, not because of the big chase scene that was part of it, but because they showed us a famous old war ship. I totally …
Fireball XL5: Space Pirates
Fireball XL5: Space Pirates tickles me pink. Anytime I see a group of puppets being used in a different plot device, it makes me smile. In this case, Gerry Anderson had the beautiful Venus, a space doctor, visiting the Jonathan Zero, Jr., the son of Commander Zero. …
Adam-12: Log 106: Post Time
In Adam-12: Log 106: Post Time, Officer Jim Reed (Kent McCord) is worried about an upcoming handball match with another officer. We never find out what happened, but it makes for a quick, comic discussion. The recurring banter between Reed and veteran partner Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) …
Supernatural TV Series (Season 1)
In the summer of 2010, I came across a few friends who kept talking about a show called Supernatural. At this point, the series was into it’s fifth season. So I decided to wait it out, and start watching the seasons one by one.
In June, I began watching …
The League of Gentlemen - Series Two
The show that brought us stranger phobic Tubbs and Edward, pen loving Pauline and the germ hating Dentons is back, and goes from strength to strength.
With the thread of the new road gone, Tubbs and Edwards can go about slaughtering passers by with one less thing on their …
MASH TV SHOW
M*A*S*H* is one of my husband’s favorite TV shows, he is gathering a DVD collection of all the episodes. I often watch MASH with him, and although I don’t like Captain Pierce (hate womanizers), overall, I think it is quite a decent show. Most characters are well developed, and …
Chase: Paranoia TV Show
For me, Chase: Paranoia was pretty intense, though that wasn’t necessarily a positive. In some ways, this episode felt like a rerun, not of this new series, of course, but of other shows and movies I’ve seen. That doesn’t mean it was not an enjoyable watch; it …
“Snapped” (Oxygen crime show)
I didn’t realize there were so many women in the world who were willing to kill their husbands, boyfriends, and rivals in order to get what they want in the world. Some of the women featured on the show have killed abusive husbands and stepfathers. Others have …
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Hard Rock
Bruce Campbell stars in the title role of The Adventures of Brisco County Jr., a unusual western series that is part science fiction and part comedy. Julius Carry co-stars as his sometimes partner, Lord Bowler. In this episode, Hard Rock, Brisco learns a bit more about the …
That Girl: These Boots Weren’t Made for Walking
The very funny and versatile Paul Lynde guest stars in this first season episode of the comedy That Girl called These Boots Weren’t Made for Walking. Essentially, this is a topic that is very current to our modern work — working for ourselves. Ann Marie (Marlo …
Ghost Hunters: Eastern State Penitentary
We were watching another season 1 episode of Ghost Hunters last night “Eastern State Penitentary” and I have to say I was left less than impressed.
You would think a place like a prison would provide quite a few scary moments and even had some investigators running for their lives …
Laramie: The Long Road Back TV Show
Laramie: The Long Road Back isn’t really one of my favorite episodes, but that’s mostly because it’s an hour that focuses on John Smith’s character of Slim Sherman. I so much prefer the buddy shows in which Smith shares the western hour with Robert Fuller and his much …
Star Trek: Return to Tomorrow TV Show
Star Trek: Return to Tomorrow is one of the classics in my book. It’s a wonderful hour of viewing because it’s thought provoking and well put together. This is also the first appearance of Diana Muldaur in the Star Trek universe. She’ll appear in yet another …
Fox´s House M.D.
Let me explain something from the very beginning: House M. D. is not a medical TV show but a drama with touches of humour that, incidentally, takes place in a hospital.
Gregory House is a doctor of about forty-five years that heads the Diagnosis Unit of the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching …
Virgin Media Digital V-Box (and Remote Control)
When I first moved into my flat I had the option of either signing up for Sky TV or going for the Virgin Media cable network. At the time I opted to go for Virgin, largely because they offered a better package with a range of channels, a …
The X-Files 3 Episode
This is the thirty seventh episode of the entire series of the 1990s American television show “The X-Files”. It is also the seventh episode of the second season. I liked this episode, and I would rate it as one of my top thirty episode of the show. This was …
Laramie: Glory Road
Laramie: Glory Road is the second wonderful episode of this western TV series. Nanette Fabray and Eddie Albert guest star. Fabray plays the upbeat spiritualist Essie Bright, who travels the land preaching. En route to Laramie, her pianist is injured and Roney Bishop (Albert) volunteers to …

Highway Patrol: Family Affair TV Show
From October 1958, Highway Patrol: Family Affair was the third outing of this fourth and final year of this police drama. The plot is family oriented, but not in a good way per se. This half hour program surrounds a wife who plots her husband’s escape from …
America’s Next Top Model
This show is the great modeling reality tv show there is, Tyra Banks as the host only makes the show better as she is a retired professional model who was really great when she was still doing her profession. There are a lot of candidates here who are aspiring …
Banana Split Show
There have been a lot of things going on over the television, new shows coming up, and old ones suddenly stopped being shown; Well I am here to actually talk about the new funny show they have at ABS-CBN company. This show is called Banana Split; starred by 5 …
“Extreme Makeover : Home Edition” (Tv show)
I absolutely love “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition”! This show really spotlights people in need and that there are people out there that want to help them. Everytime I watch this TV program, I cry. Not so much that Im sad, but for the fact that I am so happy …
Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmem
“Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmem” is a Travel Channel show I started watching close to a year ago. To be honest, there are times when I can barely stand to look at it, but, at the same time, it is just fascinating to me that this man will …
MacGyver: The Legend of the Holy Rose Part 2
The action continues from the fifth-season opener of MacGyver with The Legend of the Holy Rose Part 2. MacGyver is helping an old friend from his neighborhood search for Diana’s Temple, or the Holy Grail. The two are being chased by the evil Erich Von Leer, played …
Stargate SG-1: Forever in a Day
What do you do when you feel like your character is being held back? For Michael Shanks on Stargate SG-1, the answer was ask the producers to change the direction. The issue at hand was Daniel’s wife, Sha’re, who had been taken host by the Goa’uld and …
Survivor Season 20 Episode 3
This episode of Survivor was good in some respects but bad in others.
I did not enjoy the fact the Heroes got most of the screen time this episode. But I suppose that’ s what happens when you lose.
Oh it was fun watching them lose. A tribe of …
Ghost Hunters: Mark Twain House
Since Law & Order SVU wasn’t on last night, I was able to watch the early show of Ghost Hunters as they explored the Mark Twain House in Connecticut. This turned out to be an interesting episode.
For one, they had a lot of personal experiences. Normally, I don’t count …
CSI Season 5 Episode 2 Down the Drain
I don’t know if I really like this episode or really hated it; there are some interesting points to it, yet it was really hard to watch, which took away from the enjoyment of the show. I realize that in the real life, the crimes and the investigations are …
The Ray Bradbury Theater DVD set
Earlier this year, I was gifted with The Ray Bradbury Theater DVD set, which contains all 65 episodes of the science fiction series on 5 DVDs. I’ve just finished reviewing the episodes, so now it’s time to take a look at the DVD set itself.
There are plenty of highs …
Project Runway Season 2
I really enjoyed the first season of Project Runway, and have been pretty happy lately because one of the channels that I get has been rerunning Project Runway’s second season from beginning to end.
I really like this season’s contestants. I especially think Santino is funny and interesting. There …
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 …
Stephen King’s Rose Red TV miniseries
I recently watched Stephen King’s Rose Red on the SyFy channel. It’s in three parts, with the first part being a buildup of the various characters and the backdrop of the story, the second brings in some action, and the third finishes the story with even more action.
…
Alias Smith and Jones: The Fifth Victim
Alias Smith and Jones: The Fifth Victim is one of my favorite episodes from this TV series. The premise is that Heyes and Curry, using their alter egos of Joshua Smith and Thaddeus Jones, end up in a poker game where, one by one, the players end up …
Batman: The Brave and the Bold: Revenge of the Reach
The opening has the challengers of the unknown investigating a meteor that landed on Dinosaur island. The radiation ends up mutating one of the animals into a horrible monster. They fight it off and Batman returns to Gotham.
The group investigates the meteor to find glowing blue spheres …
Ghost Hunters: Tombstone
I like the show Ghost Hunters but the episode Tombstone is one of those episodes that has enough bad camera angles and too many assumptions to sometimes make me have doubts about TAPS credibility.
The team investigated the Bird Cage Theater in Tombstone Arizona, which is definitely a historic place. …
Toddlers and Tiaras TV Show “Fancy Faces”
I am not a pageant mom myself. I did enter a couple of pageants myself as a child, but I would never push my children into pageants if they did not want to do them. My kids are pretty much indifferent to pageants at this point so …
Face Off (tv show)
One of my favourite series to watch on the SyFy channel these days is “Face Off”. However, that wasn’t always the case since up to last year I would see it being aired and never really took to it since I just didn’t think that it would be my …
Pokemon (TV Show) - Ash Catches a Pokemon (Episode)
“Ash Catches a Pokémon” is the third episode of the “Pokemon” television series and this episode is one that does a good job of showing off the dynamic that quickly begins to build between the Ash and Misty characters. This is the first episode where Ash and Misty actually …
The Good Wife: Running TV Show
As respects the season ending episode of The Good Wife called Running, I’m going to start before I watch the show and guess that the promo they’ve been showing all over television ad nauseam of a crucial decision making moment for Alicia actually takes place in the last seconds …
Spongebob Squarepants: The Strangler
I saw a Spongebob Squarepants episode yesterday I haven’t seen in a while “The Strangler” and found it to be as funny as I remembered it being.
If you haven’t seen this show and wonder why it is so popular, I suggest watching this episode. Spongebob turns in an infamous …
Countdown MSNBC
Countdown with Keith Oberman is the best show on MSNBC currently because it offers a realistic look at politics. The show is geared toward someone who is a Democrat and you can see this is the coverage because the show is always fact checking Mccain. However, during this show …
Married with Children
Married with Children is one of the funniest shows I have seen in my entire life. I just love this show. Al Bundy is probably one of the best TV characters ever invented. He is just so funny and clever with his jokes. Al bundy is a character that kids …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Penelope TV Show
From December 1962, the 13th show of the sixth season, Have Gun - Will Travel: Penelope was an average episode in my opinion.
This particular program opened in San Francisco with Col. Oliver Lacey as played by Lawrence Dobkin studying Paladin who is engaged in a solo game of chess.
Lacey …
Mystery Spot - Episode 11 , Season 3 Supernatural
I’m a big Supernatural fan, and this is one of my favourite episodes.
It’s like a game of two halves - the first is a comedy, the second a tragedy. It’s just a great premise.
It’s a Tuesday, Sam is woken by Asia playing on the radio. Sam and Dean are …
Entourage season 2 Episode 6 Chinatown
This is a very popular 20 minutes HBO show about 4 guys from Queens who came to Hollywood to enjoy everything life can offer. I liked this episode because we saw the boys trying to do something about their empty pockets, each one on their own unique way. I …
