TV Show: Glee
So tonight was the first episode of the new Fox series, Glee. The show is okay. It is shot in a reality type mode, like most shows these days. It’s about a guy who returns to his high school and takes up a director spot in the school’s failing …
Doctor Who: Season 3, episode 3: Gridlock
When I read the general synopsis of this episode, I didn’t think it would work out that well. The idea of a gigantic traffic jam isn’t a bad one, but it doesn’t exactly scream excitement. As it turns out, this episode managed to turn me around and …

I watched the new show on A&E called Storage Wars the other day. I was just flipping though the channels and happened to stop on this show for no particular reason. The show follows around 4 professional buyers as they bid on storage lockers. According to …
Family Guy: Stewie Loves Lois
OK, I’ll admit it, even though there were some objectionable scenes in the Family Guy episode “Stewie Loves Lois” I think it is still one of the funnier episodes in the series.
You have two major plots. First, Lois fixes Stewies Bear Rupert and he realizes that he loves her …
Soundstage Presents Josh Groban TV Show
Popular singer Josh Groban was the featured performer on this rendition of the PBS series Soundstage. It’s a great showcasing of talent in a much more intimate setting than we often get to see. Actually, this is something Groban addresses after his opening song. It’s a …
Seven days season 3 episode 17 Kansas
A real science fiction happens in this episode and I really found the idea interesting. Parker is a US soldier who works on a secret government project of time travel. He travels seven days back in time when something bad for national security happens.
The scientists who created the …
Gordon Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares
Even though Gordon Ramsey can be a bit abrasive, I love watching this show since it gives an in depth look at the other side of operating a restaurant business. Sometimes I do find the owners featured on this show to be funny because of their naivete, but …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Three - One Krab’s Trash
Mr. Krabs starts to dig threw other people’s trash to hold a sale and make some money. I think that is so funny because it just goes to show how cheap he really is. He convinces Spongebob to buy a really ugly hat he found in the …
Futurama: Benders Big Score
Futurama is back with a Big Bang creating a whole new universe of fun. The show was one of the best animated series ever created in my personal opinion, and as such a huge fan I was concerned that I would be sorely disappointed with the creation of a …

Spongebob Squarepants: Scaredy Pants
Now that Halloween is coming up, there are plenty of Halloween movies and television episodes on TV. One of those shows is Spongebob Squarepants: Scaredy Pants.
The episode is pretty interesting, in my opinion. It’s Halloween night and everyone in Bikini Bottom goes out of their way to scare Spongebob …
Stargate SG-1: Point of No Return
Stargate SG-1: Point of No Return is an odd episode with some funny moments, but once again, the team is divided, and that’s always a sad thing. This time around, it’s Jack and Teal’c who cover one part of the tale, while Daniel and Sam work together.
Now I …

Stargate SG-1: Disclosure
Once every season as a rule, there is a clip show done on Stargate SG-1 which essentially saves on money. It’s a filler show, with little new action. Stargate SG-1: Disclosure was the season 6 clip show, and in this case, the only regular cast member to …

Mr. Monk and the Badge
Wow, talk about a seriously predictable episode of Monk. Mr. Monk and the Badge could have been one of the better ones but it was one of those episodes that really is meant to provide closure to something without putting a whole lot of effort into it.
Basically, Monk finally …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Halloween
Just when I thought season 2 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer could actually go without a bad episode, I come across the one entitled “Halloween.”
To be fair, this isn’t really a bad episode. It’s just it’s an episode that’s been done before.
Basically, it’s the same Halloween episode other shows …
The Twilight Zone: The Lonely TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Lonely is one of the classic episodes of this series. I thoroughly enjoy it each and every time I see it. It’s the concept that makes it intriguing. Jack Warden is a convict, sentenced to live the rest of his life on …
Stargate SG-1: Family Ties
Stargate SG-1: Family Ties is not really my style. It opens with Sam and Vala returning from a shopping trip, the two all decked out and drawing attention as they walk down the corridors of the SGC. I guess they wanted to show these two are friends. …
Law and Order SVU Season 1 Episode 4- Hysteria

Tom&Jerry - Episode:- The Invisible Mouse
I like to watch cartoons and one of the oldest cartoons around has got to be Tom and Jerry. I remember watching these episodes since I was a kid. I just saw an episode of Tom and Jerry and it is called “The Invisible Mouse.”
This episode starts off almost …
House: Private Lives
When I first saw the description of Monday’s House episode “Private Lives,” I thought it was going to be similar to another episode we have seen on the show, where a person uses the internet to get an alternative diagnosis.
As it turns out, it was a pretty interesting episode.
The …
24 Season 1 Episode 13
Anyone who watched the TV Series 24 is probably by now very much aware of how addictive it really is. It is probably due to the fact that the show is taking place in real time during a 24 hour period. This way, every episode is connect to the …
Mr. Monk and the Leper
I am a huge fan of the television series Monk. However, Friday’s episode, Mr. Monk and the Leper was a bit of a disappointment.
While the show still kept most of it’s trademark comedy, the episode seemed to lack a lot of the mystery that has kept it a top …
The Phone show
I’m almost afraid to admit that I’ve been watching The Phone. After all, it’s on MTV and it’s from the mind of Justin Timberlake. Now that’s scary!
The Phone is an overly dramatic program that has made stunt people very happy. The stunt bill must be enormous for …
The Simpsons Episode The Good, The Sad and the Drugly
I haven’t watched too many episodes of The Simpsons lately, other than some of the older re-runs that they show at 6 p.m. during the week. But, I did get a chance to watch a newer episode last night (though still in re-run); The Good, The Sad and the …

Jake …
RCA ANT751 Outdoor Digital TV Antenna

HGTV
If you have cable television a great show to watch 24 hours a day 7 days a week is Home and Garden television. The shows they feature are how to fix it show and repairs on rooms in ones house. Such shows like Design remix or Design …
Apollo Wives
Apollo Wives aired on the BBC surprisingly and covered a reunion of Apollo astronaut wives in Arizona. I’ve watched a bunch of astronaut related programs over the years and this one was very different.
My chief criticism off the bat is that they didn’t identify who was talking as …
The Carol Burnett Show: Roddy McDowall TV Show
This episode of The Carol Burnett Show from its tenth season guest starred the versatile Roddy McDowall. There were also regulars Harvey Korman, Vicki Lawrence, and Tim Conway. The monologue included Burnett’s view of vitamins and the fact that Eunice is currently her favorite character.
I wasn’t that …
Stargate: Infinity: The Illustrated Stacey TV Show
Once again, the drama in Stargate: Infinity: The Illustrated Stacey begins with Major Bonner and his Stargate cadets blasting through the Stargate and into battle, only Harrison is inexplicably missing. However, he shows up right after the theme song finishes. By the way, I do like the …

Alias Smith and Jones: The McCreedy Bust
Alias Smith and Jones: The McCreedy Bust, the second episode of this series, sets up a recurring character in Big Mac McCreedy, played by the robust and highly entertaining Burl Ives. The character comes back repeatedly throughout this western show. He’s a delight because he’s crafty, and …
The Twilight Zone: The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street TV Show
I don’t like watching The Twilight Zone: The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street, not because the show is bad, but because it’s so accurate. The show is very well done and has some very believable acting within it. I just hate seeing the harshness of man …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Skeleton TV Show
From February 1988, The Ray Bradbury Theater: Skeleton focuses on a hypochondriac named Bert Harris (Eugene Levy). This is really one of those weird, out there stories that I’m not even sure how to describe. This guy is so nuts about trying to get a doctor to …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 21 - Pandora’s Box
Celia’s therapy continues in Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 21 - Pandora’s Box and it’s some strong stuff. She’s in therapy and on the verge of recalling a horrid event from her past. As I watched the last episode, I formed an idea of where I think this …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Odds for Big Red TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Odds for Big Red, the fourth show of season five, gets right to the action, and I question it. It is funny to me that Paladin has a lot of imperfections. Maybe that’s why the show worked. He’s almost an anti-hero, …
Dawn Porter (Channel4)
Probably more famed for her work on BBC3, Dawn Porter has tackled numerous subjects in her often light hearted documentaries before.
With this Channel 4 series, Porter tackles topics that are a bit weightier and difficult than her previous exposes. In particular, her investigations into mail order brides and polygamy …
CSI Season 3 Episode 8- Snuff
CSI Season 3 Episode 8- Snuff
This episode shows the investigation of two separate cases (and this time, they are not connected. Wow, that’s a change). The first case is absolutely fantastic- it investigates the brutal murder of a porn actress caught on tape for a snuff movie. It is …

Columbo: Murder Under Glass TV Show
Columbo: Murder Under Glass has a cooking theme, and this one doesn’t thrill me. Frenchman Louis Jourdan is full of his usual charm and sophistication as Paul Gerard, who is the killer of the episode. He’s involved in what they call a pre-affair with Eve Plummer. …
