TV Reviews
Full Metal Alchemist
Full Metal Alchemist is a anime series that is one of the best shows I have seen. Don’t judge the series by its title, because when I first heard of it, I was wondering if it was good because of the title.
I have come to the conclusion that it …
CHiPs: Rainy Day
It’s a rainy day in Los Angeles and that means that our California Highway Patrol officers have to patrol in a car instead of on a bike. Again, one of the good things about this series is that it did show us different situations where a CHP officer …
Jennifer Hudson / Dreamgirls
I am not sorry to admit that I am a fan of most reality shows. Although, lately the only shows I tend to watch is American Idol, Supernanny and sometimes Deal or no Deal. Last year Jennifer Hudson and Fantasia was and still is my favourite finalists. …
Bratz Dolls
For a while now, I have seen Bratz dolls on TV. At first I didn’t really pay attention to them, but now, I have noticed something about them. I have noticed that every Bratz doll is wearing something that no self-respecting person would wear. They …
M*A*S*H: Crisis
In M*A*S*H: Crisis, the 4077th is without important supplies and that called for drastic action. Colonel Henry Blake (McLean Stevenson) decides to assign duties to his officers to help get through the crisis. This has them all facing off against one another as they try to get …
ICarly TV Episode: I saw Him First
As I mentioned a short time ago in another review, I don’t normally watch the show ICarly. But, my daughter was watching something else on one of our Nick stations and, because I never changed the channel, it was on while I was doing something else.
The episode I ended …
Stargate SG1: Avalon Pts 1 and 2
This two parter introduced us to many new characters at SG1 while losing Richard Dean Anderson as General O’Neill. Even though he made a cameo during these episodes, it was not the same as having him around full time.
Viewers got to meet Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell played by …
Whoopi: Smoke Gets in Your Eyes TV Show
Whoopi: Smoke Gets in Your Eyes has Mavis Rae (Whoopi Goldberg) eager to get some hockey tickets for a couple of New York Rangers games. One of the early funny bits that I had to laugh at was how her handyman, Nasim (Omid Djalili), tried to get her …
Doctor Who: Season 4, Episode 9: Silence in the Library
After a light-hearted, comedic episode, the show dives right into nightmare fuel territory with this episode. I’m surprised this doesn’t get more regard as it was fantastic. It probably ranks as one of the creepiest episodes of the series so far. Honestly, it puts “Blink” to …
Absolutely Fabulous
This is a weird show for me. On the one hand I like it but on the other there are so many things wrong with it I feel a little silly for liking it. Absolutely Fabulous is an English show and that means all it’s humor is …
Stargate SG1: Small Victories
This episode was the premiere for season 4 and concluded what was started in the last episode of season 3.
Jack, Sam and Teal’c return home after saving the earth from the replicators. While they believe they have gotten rid of the replicators one survived and landed in a …
Broadway’s Lost Treasures - The Musicals compilation TV Show
Broadway’s Lost Treasures - The Musicals was compiled in 2003 and offered on VHS and DVD 17 wonderful performances that had been included on the Tony Awards over the years. Angela Lansbury does an introduction and then Jerry Orbach does the intros to the first few specific segments. …
Britney Spears on Ellen
It is so very much entertaining and fun to watch Britney Spears on Ellen. There was this special showcase for the holiday that Ellen had put through and she, along with Britney went over to several homes and purely doing just that; singing and dancing and whatnot. Tremendously …
Would I Lie to You? (BBC)
‘Would I Lie to You?’ is a funny game show on BBC1, with television personalities, but mainly comedians, as contestants. This show has been around since 2007 but I only discovered it recently, since the the role of the host was taken over by one of my favourite …
John Doe: Low Art TV show
John Doe: Low Art is fairly entertaining on the whole to watch. The story temporarily puts aside the issue of who John Doe really is and instead focuses on his new friends and John’s ability to interact without acting like a machine.
The catalyst for the mystery element of …
Stargate SG-1: Affinity
Stargate SG-1: Affinity is a decent entry into the eighth season of this long-time television show. After all these years, Teal’c is finally allowed to get an apartment outside the base, but his constant involvement in community situations, particularly involving crimes, is a cause of concern for Washington.
There’s …
Another project TV show
This hit show has just started it’s 5th series on British TV. This has a British version as well called Project Catwalk, but the American one is the original and best.
This show lasts for 1 hour and without adverts is 44 minutes. It is being shown on Sky 1 …
Touching Evil: Attachment
Touching Evil: Attachment opens very dramatically with David Creegan remembering the farewell with his kids that happened towards the end of the last episode. I really hate the direction the show opted to go in. That said, it made for a bang of an opening.
Then we transition …
Cowboy Bebop Episode 16 (Anime)
Cowboy Bebop Episode 16 has an assassin named Udai with ties to Jet escaping from prison.
This episode was very good because it gives us Jet’s origin story and it’s very well done and very well written. I enjoyed watching this episode because it was so interesting and entertaining …
Friends Episode: The One Where Chandler Gets Caught
Friends Episode: The One Where Chandler Gets Caught is super cool, and this is one of the best episodes ever. How can one just not do without watching Friends while going through their everyday lives..?
I know I did and I love it so much. In this episode, we …
American Pickers Television Show
This is not your typical television show about antiques. This show follows two American pickers who travel throughout the United States looking for discarded antiques and valuables that they sell to antique stores and collectors. Not only does the show follow the exploits of the two men …
The Carol Burnett Show: James Garner and George Carlin TV Show
One outing from The Carol Burnett Show’s final season on the air included James Garner and George Carlin, along with regulars Tim Conway and Vicki Lawrence. Below are some thoughts about this hour of variety entertainment.
–Burnett joked about being on the unemployment in 3 weeks, but the real …
Fringe Season 4 Episode 1 TV show
Episode 1 of Season 4 of Fringe has been a bit strange. While the story of Fringe is strange and complicated in general, this one was even more strange, complicated and confusing than usual. I would not say that is was a particularly good episode of Fringe. I am …
M*A*S*H: There Is Nothing Like a Nurse
M*A*S*H: There Is Nothing Like a Nurse from season three is essentially a tribute to the nurses of the 4077th. When an impending enemy attack is threatened, the nurses are ordered to leave and go to a safer location. This brings on a lot of good-byes, including …
Highlander: The Series - 101 - The Gathering
“I am Duncan MacLeod, born four hundred years ago in the Highlands of Scotland. I am Immortal and I am not alone. For centuries we have waited for the time of the Gathering, when the stroke of a sword and the fall of a head will release the power …
The Andy Griffith Show: Quiet Sam TV Show
From May 1961, The Andy Griffith Show: Quiet Sam shows once again what paranoia can do to people, especially a superstitious and easily spirited Deputy Barney Fife (Don Knotts). In this show, he is focused on a farmer named Sam Becker who seems reclusive and isn’t very socialable. …
Sea Hunt: The Alcatraz Story TV Show
Sea Hunt: The Alcatraz Story aired in January 1959 and was the first story of the second season which continued the adventures of deep sea diver, Mike Nelson, as portrayed by Lloyd Bridges. This particular tale has a bunch of vocal narration because so much of it does …
Tv Show “Raising Hope” Episode 6 “Family Secrets”
I really enjoy watching this tv show because they throw something unexpected at you at each episode. In this episode Hope’s deceased mother who was executed for being a serial killer of boyfriends reappears in video form. After her death her belongings were collected in boxes and …
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 …
Whoopi: Is Rita Pregnant? TV Show
The focus of Whoopi: Is Rita Pregnant? from February 2004 was on Courtney’s girlfriend, Rita (Elizabeth Regen), and the possibility that she might be pregnant, something that makes Courtney’s sister cringe. She’s not really fond of Rita, at least not while her brother is unemployed and living with …
Pretty Little Liars TV Show
I first got hooked on Pretty Little Liars when my cousin handed me the box set of Season 1. Since that day I have been unable to turn it off. The show is amazing! Every episode is packed with action.
The show is about four …
Caprica (TV)
Recently a new television series named “Caprica” has been advertising to be aired on the cable television channel Syfy. I saw it advertise on several cable television channels before I finally decided to watch it too, since when it was advertising I guess I got the wrong impression, and …
The Andy Griffith Show: Opie’s Rival TV Show
This is the show that just has never made sense to me. It’s the third season of The Andy Griffith Show, and we’ve already had four or so episodes that deal with Sheriff Andy Taylor’s relationship with Nurse Peggy McMillan. During this time, little Opie Taylor (Ron …
Psych: Who Ya Going to Call
I ended up watching a bunch of Psych episodes before bed last night (it was a late night for us because of the baby). One of them, “Who Ya Going to Call” was a bit on the predictable side.
Shawn and Gus are hired by a guy who thinks he …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Fogg Bound TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Fogg Bound from December 1960 is more of a humorous outing for this western series which starred Richard Boone as Paladin, the gunfighter for hire. The show is based on the Jules Verne creation, “Around the World in 80 days.”
The show opens with …
Sea Hunt: Diving for the Moon TV Show
Sea Hunt: Diving for the Moon aired on February 15, 1959, and I mention the year specifically because the show dealt with the training of four men who are in the astronaut program. The show actually opens with Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) doing his narration about how …
Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 2
Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 2 begins with Ed and Al confronting Father Cornelo about tricking his cult into believing he can perform miracles because he has a Philosopher’s Stone. They try to take it from him but he attacks them using the Stone. He then turns the people …
Bones: The Man in the Mansion
Sometimes it pays to stay home sick. If I wouldn’t have today, I would have missed a re-run of the Bones episode, the Man in the Mansion; an episode I didn’t see until tonight.
This one was actually somewhat interesting. The case itself isn’t overly unique. A millionaire is found …
Nova: the Pluto Files: television show
Nova is a show that airs on PBS, the public access channel. It is a science show that covers social or scientific issues and design weekly. The Pluto Files episode is about the controversy surrounding the issue of whether or not Pluto is a planet. A …
The Simpson’s: Little Orphan Millie
Well, that was an interesting episode of the Simpson’s last night “Little Orphan Millie” but it really wasn’t quite as funny as I would expect from this show.
Milhouse’s parents finally get back together after being divorced for a couple seasons. But, on their honeymoon, they fall overboard on a …
Law & Order SVU TV Episode: Totem
Synopsis: Benson and Stabler receive help from sex therapist Cap Jackson (Jeremy Irons) when a little girl’s body is found brutally murdered and stuffed inside a suitcase and the police begin to suspect a female rapist/killer.
What I like about this episode: I know he’s a guest star and was …
Monster (Anime)
Sometimes after watching a show like this one, I wonder why does not all anime come in this format. I’ll admit, I’ve almost didn’t see it at all - the pace is rather slow in the beginning and I’ve almost stopped watching before it got its hooks into me. From …
Laramie: Rimrock TV Show
Laramie is my all time favorite show. The stories were fresh and intriguing, and the stories were just top notch. This episode from the third season is called Rimrock. It actually starts out very fun and carefree with a scene that really made me smile and …
Poo Stick : Upright Citizens Brigade
Poo Stick is another classic episode of the television series “Upright Citizens Brigade.” This episode revolves around the poo stick, a weapon which is nothing more than some dog poo placed onto a stick. A crazy idea for a television show, but somehow the UCB is …
The Twilight Zone: The Four of Us Are Dying TV Show
Quite honestly, The Twilight Zone: The Four of Us Are Dying isn’t one of the shows that I really want to watch. It’s packed with talent, but the plot just doesn’t go over with me. It’s about a man with the ability to change his appearance on …
Voyagers!: An Arrow Pointing East
From December 1982, Voyagers!: An Arrow Pointing East takes on a whopper of a legend, that of Robin Hood and his merry band of followers. It’s hard to do a bad Robin Hood because it’s just such a fun mixture of personalities. Dan Hamilton portrays Robin and …
South Park: The Coon
South Park has gone to great lengths lately to write satire pieces on current events and trends. This episode, entitled “The Coon”, follows Cartman dressing as a Batman like superhero, probably as a means of capitalizing on the success of the latest Batman movies. While not a completely awful …
Avatar: The Last Airbender Episode 3 (Animated)
Avatar: The Last Airbender Episode 3 begins with Aang, Katarra and Sokka traveling to the Air Temple in the Air Nation where Aang used to live and he discovers the awful truth about what happened there. Meanwhile, Prince Zuko docks at a naval station to repair his ship. …
