Law & Order SVU: Hardwired
I got to watch bits and pieces of last night’s Law & Order SVU episode Hardwired. For the most part, it was OK. But, it really wasn’t anything that stood out when compared to the other episodes I’ve seen of the show.
Basically, it had the same plot as others, …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Four - Funny Pants
One day while at work at the Krusty Krab, Squidward makes a comment to Spongebob that wasn’t really funny but Spongebob laughs histarically. It wasn’t the funniest thing ever, but he just really likes to laugh a lot. Squidward tries to get him to be quiet by telling him …
The Twilight Zone: Shadow Play TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Shadow Play is one of those shows I just don’t enjoy watching. It’s a difficult show because I simply feel for the situation. It’s a nightmare. More than that, main performer Dennis Weaver plays his part with such pain and conflict that it’s …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: To the Chicago Abyss TV Show
From 1989, The Ray Bradbury Theater: To the Chicago Abyss concerns some future era when times are tough and food is precious. In fact, apparently very few are left who remember how life used to be, when everyone could go where they wanted and each fruits and vegetables.
I …

Gargoyles Episode 2.4 A Lighthouse in the sea of time
This episode features the return of Macbeth. His goal is to obtain the recently uncovered scrolls of Merlin. I know that King Arthur comes into play later in the series, so this was probably a way to plant that seed.
The focus of the episode is about reading. …
CSI Season 12 Episode 8 (TV Series)
I enjoyed episode 8 of season 12 of CSI very much. I thought that it was a very thought-out and well constructed episode. As far as I see it, it could have been made into a very good movie. The cases were very original and you couldn’t guess who …
Top Shot - The Long Shot TV Show
I never thought I’d watch a TV show that focused on guns, be it rifles or handguns, but Top Shot is a new reality competition show and I’ve become a bit intrigued by the contestants and their challenges.
Top Shot is hosted by Survivor contestant, Colby Donaldson. I always …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 4
What is really fun about this episode of Emerald Point N.A.S. are two face offs. The first is with regular Dennis Weaver as Rear Admiral Tom Mallory facing off against guest star Robert Loggia, who plays a Russian admiral. They are discussing some close encounters that have …
The Venture Bros: Self Medication
The episode opens with Monarch pursuing Dr. Venture. It’s one of those moments where Monarch is actually a legitimate menace. His men have captured the boys and Hatred is locked in battle with 21. Dr. Venture calls time out because he has to attend a therapy …
Burn Notice: Seek and Destroy
Perhaps it was me but I didn’t care all that much for Burn Notice this week. It wasn’t that there was anything wrong with the story, it just didn’t catch me right. They are still looking for t he man who tried to blow up Michal at the end …
You Deserve This House, TV program
A one-hour show presented by Ms. Amanda Lamb was a great change from other various reality shows dominating the TV landscape today.
What I liked about the show was its format. It was pretty straightforward. There were no contentious flare-ups and me-against-the-world drama between participants that seemed customary in almost all …
Fox TV Series: House M.D.
This is one of those TV shows that you really need to see from the first season to truely appreciate it. Seriously, if you haven’t seen the previous seasons, I recommend that your rent them on Amazon Unbox, so you can catch up to where things are now. Otherwise, …
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 …
Project Runway: Sequins Feathers & Fur, Oh My!
Hmm, I’m starting to think this season’s designers on Project Runway aren’t even close to being as good as designers from previous seasons.
Last night, they had a chance to really show off what they can do with really no limits as they were designing a stage outfit for Christina …
Sea Hunt: The Shipwreck TV Show
Towards the end of its first season, Sea Hunt aired an episode called The Shipwreck. Among its guest stars was Leonard Nimoy. Nimoy actually did several episodes of this underwater TV show. I guess he had that outdoors look they liked.
Sea Hunt stars Lloyd Bridges, and …
A-Team TV Episode: Duke of Whispering Pines
I came in a bit late on the A-Team re-run The Duke of Whispering Pines this past weekend and I didn’t get to see the first few minutes of it. But, I did get to see the majority of this episode and, for the most part, it was pretty …
Eternal Moonshine of the Simpson Mind
Over the past couple of years, episodes of the Simpsons seemed to be weak at best. It seems that, after all the years the show has been on the air, the writers are starting to run out of stories to tell.
The last episode I saw of this, Eternal Moonshine …
The Flash TV Season 2, Episode 11: The Reverse-Flash Returns
Recap: Eobard Thawne aka Reverse-Flash returned however to figure out what time period, he devised a runaway Mack chemical truck which enabled him to know which time Flash belonged to and in order to get back home, he kidnapped Dr. McGee of Mercury Labs.

Game of Thrones, Season 2 Episode 9 - Blackwater
I have been an avid fan of Game of Thrones and now that the season is almost over, I am here to let you guys know how I thought about Episode 9 of Season 2’s Game of Thrones.
For all of you who still live in a cave and …
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 …
PBS KIDS Channel
TV is a all time favourite for everyone. But watching today’s shows with family is not a good idea. There are lot of shows that are not kid friendly and have a negative impact on kids. Not every channel has kids programmes and there is nothing much for toddlers to …
The United States of Tara Season 2 Episode 10 “Open House.”
I highly recommend this show to everyone. This is a great show with clever dialog and wonderful acting. The main character, Tara, played by Toni Collette is a woman who suffers from multiple personality disorder. She has a handful of personalities we get to see …
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 …
Judge Judy
I just adore Judge Judy. She is a real Judge called Judith Sheindlin who, in this show, presides over real cases from the small claims court. The show has been running from 1996 and is still being made and in every episode we see two or three …
The Birth of a Timeless Legacy featurette
William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy some nice thoughts in The Birth of a Timeless Legacy featurette, which tells about the way Star Trek came to be. There is a review of the two pilots (The Cage and Where No Man Has Gone Before). The one thing that …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Witch
The Buffy the Vampire Slayer Episode “Witch” is a good example as to why I feel the series should have been called Buffy the Demon slayer instead. As a fan of the show, I came to learn Buffy tended to fight more than just vampires.
The episode Witch is definitely …
Hector’s Hectic Life cartoon
Hector’s Hectic Life is a cartoon that is brand new to me. I’ve never seen or heard of it before, but it was a holiday offering from the golden age by UM&M TV Corporation.
So as it turns out, Hector is a dog who always gets into trouble. …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Trap TV Show
From its fifth season, Have Gun - Will Travel: The Trap was the 24th episode, airing in March 1962.
Kam Tong was always entertaining as Hey Boy. I loved this bit with him at the beginning of the half hour when he is in Paladin’s room and …
Kim Possible: A Sitch in Time
I had wanted to catch this episode for some time. I saw the finale as well as the second Kim Possible “movie” So the Drama. As luck would have it, I finally managed to come across it.
It works very well, providing plenty of fanservice to long …
Adam-12 Season 4 DVD Set
The Adam-12 Season 4 DVD Set is a must have for anyone who loves this police drama, as well as for fans of series stars Martin Milner and Kent McCord. It’s a great set to have if you’re a police buff or a fan of Webb-TV, which are …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Three - Snowball Effect
It is actually snowing in Bikini Bottom, because there is an iceberg that is over the town. This rarely happens so Spongebob and Patrick try and take advantage of the situation and have a snowball fight with each other. They are having a lot of fun in the yards, …
Are you smarter than a fifth grader
I am watching “Are you smarter than a fifth grader” from the beginning of the season, and I have to say that it is a fun show to watch. It looks funny, when a grown up guy falls into the traps of very easy questions, which little children can …
Star Trek: The Conscience of the King TV Show
Quite frankly, Star Trek: The Conscience of the King isn’t a show I really like to watch that much. I won’t necessarily turn it off if it comes on, but it’s not one of those episodes that makes me excited when I realize it’s coming on, nor is …
The Simpsons: Gone Maggie Gone
I watched a total of two Simpsons episodes last night and have to say the one entitled “Gone Maggie Gone” was a classic one.
A couple of things set up the plot of this episode. Marge stares at an eclipse and temporarily loses her eyesight. While she is unable to …
That Girl: Ugh Wilderness
I’m not sure at what point Marlo Thomas decided that this fourth season would be the last of That Girl, but I’ve noticed all season long that there was an additional warmth between Ann Marie and Donald Hollinger. It’s hard to put into words, but it’s a comfort …
Fireball XL5: Trial by Robot
Fireball XL5: Trial by Robot is a bit like watching a crazed man going even crazier. All across the galaxy, robots are being reported missing and no one knows why. Space City’s head folks begin to suspect robot expert, Professor Himber, of the crimes, though they have …
Desperate Housewives
I am a big fan of the series Desperate Housewives. I am so glad it is on back to back episodes on Lifetime now. I am able to dvr two if not three different episodes every day. Desperate Housewives is on ABC normally, and the show made its debut back …
Stargate SG-1: Heroes Part 2
I’m not as fond of Stargate SG-1: Heroes Part 2 as I am of part 1 for several reasons.
First, I don’t like what happens in part 2. There’s a major character death, and it’s one that was ordered by the Sci-Fi Network. They wanted the audience to …
The X-Files Sanguinarium Episode
This episode was the 79th episode of the 90s American television series “The X-Files” and the sixth episode of the X-Files in season 4. It was one of my favorite episodes of the X-Files as I found it not to be scary but creepy and gruesome in a sense. …
Chopped (reality competition)
This is a really interesting show in that it’s very quick. The contestants come in, and one of them is “chopped” after each course until one is left standing. This cooking show is great because there is a time element at each stage. There is …
Curb Your Enthusiasm: The End
While Richard Lewis ails away in hospital, desperate for a kidney, Larry still won’t budge and offer up his own. But, Larry’s mind (and general Larry-ness) is altered when his private investigator finally offers him the news that he is indeed adopted.
After jetting off to meet his birth …
The Office: The Merger
After so long with Jim in a different branch the show is finally reunited. Bringing everyone from the Stamford branches is great. We get to see what a first day with Michal Scott would be like, as well as watching everyone trying to explain Michal. The best line was …
Raphael Documentary
“Raphael” is a documentary that covers the life and times of Raphael Sanzio. He was considered one of the most gifted artists to evolve from the Renaissance era responsible for The Transfiguration and The School of Athens artworks. Along with Da Vinci and Michelangelo, he concluded an almost holy …
Cody Lyoko
The first time I ever heard of the French animated television series “Code Lyoko” was some years ago when I saw it advertising on the cable television channel Cartoon Network. At first, I neither paid much attention to the advertisements nor watched the series since I was very busy …
MacGyver: Thief of Budapest
MacGyver: Thief of Budapest has that incredible opening gambit where MacGyver is rescuing a horse and ends up buckling the horse to a hook and the two go flying away beneath a helicopter. It’s a little on the unreal side and I worry about that horse. I’m …
American Idol TV show
Every year, I keep promising myself that I will not get sucked back into watching another season of “American Idol.” I just get way too caught up in the weekly results aspect of it. I keep telling myself that I will not ride that emotional rollercoaster again.
Then, of …
The Simpsons: Viva Ned Flanders
I had almost forgotten just how funny Ned Flanders can be until coming across the older Simpsons episode entitled “Viva Ned Flanders.”
This is actually one of the better episodes of this show ever made; mostly because it is able to lead to other story lines later.
You have Ned revealing …
