Arrested Development TV series
The television series “Arrested Development” is not to be confused with the music group from the nineteen nineties with the same name. In fact I even heard on VH1 that the television series was almost sued by the music group after one of their members was watching the superbowl …
Columbo: A Deadly State of Mind TV Show
George Hamilton guest stars as Dr. Mark Collier in Columbo: A Deadly State of Mind. Hamilton appeared in another episode later that I prefer over this one, which is a okay, but not as good as the other one. This show is all about the power of …
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 …

Stargate SG-1: Line in the Sand
Stargate SG-1: Line in the Sand bugged me in some ways, but then again, that is the norm for season ten episodes. This is the third episode without Michael Shanks. In the show, no one knows what has happened to Daniel for sure. Is he alive …

Beast Wars - The Web is the third episode of the series and one that delivers character development to Tarantulas, Cheetor and Rattrap. The deranged and sinister nature of Tarantulas begins to shine for the first time in this episode, and the writers do a superb job of projecting …
Sea Hunt: Confidential Mission TV Show
For me, the best shows from the underwater adventure series, Sea Hunt, are those that deal with the ocean and the sea life within it. I love the shows that show this life and those that deal with technology. Unfortunately, the show often takes a cloak and …
Beverly Hillbillies: Folk Singer
I’m home sick today (no, really, I’m not playing hooky or anything like that) and am watching Beverly Hillbillies re-runs on TV. One of them, “Folk Singer” is pretty darn funny.
Jethro wants to be an astronaut and plucks something like 20 chickens so he can make a set of …
Voyagers!: Jack’s Back
The 20th and final episode of the Voyagers! television series, Jack’s Back has Phineas Bogg (Jon-Erik Hexum) accused of being the sinister Jack the Ripper. The man behind the course of events is Bogg’s voyager school nemesis, Drake, who a few episodes back tried to have Bogg stripped …
Diagnosis Murder: My Four Husbands TV Show
I always thought Diagnosis Murder: My Four Husbands was somewhat funny. It features Morgan Fairchild as actress Pamela Dorn, who has a TV series where she portrays the ‘Queen of the Jungle’. To Mark Sloan (Dick Van Dyke), though, she’s Pammie and he’s Uncle Mark.
One of the …

Trials and Tribble-ations Uniting Two Legends featurette
More or less continuing what began in Trials and Tribble-ations An Historic Endeavor, the Trials and Tribble-ations Uniting Two Legends featurette takes fans deeper into how exactly the magic that brought together the past of Star Trek with the current time Star Trek: Deep Space 9. The reason …
Max Headroom: War TV show
The War episode of Max Headroom is actually one I’ve seen before and with added interest. The reason for that is because it featured Lisa Niemi as a news reporter named Janie Crane. I remember chuckling a bit, though, because while we see Niemi several times, she …
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 …
Family Guy: I Never Met the Dead Man
Well, that was an interesting episode of Family Guy last night, “I have Never Met the Dead Man.” It was one that was a bit funny and really got you thinking a bit too.
Basically, Peter crashes his car into the satellite that provides television services to the city and …
Adam-12: Mary Hong Loves Tommy Chen
I have to admit that I’m not a big fan of Adam-12: Mary Hong Loves Tommy Chen. It’s one of those Chinese gang rumble stories. The twist in this one is that Tommy Chen is a cop. He’s been injured and can’t get his news to …
It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown
I have seen the Halloween special “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” more times than I can count considering it’s been on the air since before I was born. But, last night was the first time my oldest daughter got a chance to watch it. She loved it.
Let’s put …
Nick at Nite
I grew up watching Nick at Nite. I was born in 1980.
I watched The Monkees, Get Smart, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, Green Acres, and countless other shows, such as Mary Tyler Moore.
I am sorely disappointed in Nick at Nite today. Sure, Roseanne, Home Improvement and George Lopez are …

Friends Episode: The One with Gladys
Friends Episode: The One with Gladys is another funny episode that makes me laugh like crazy. If you have not yet watched this episode, it is about this particular painting named Gladys. Mike wants Phoebe to get rid of her unnecessary stuffs, since he is going to move …
Man vs. Wild show
This show named “Man vs. Wild” is one of my favourite shows on Discovery channel. It is the most important show, which we should follow. This show is starring by Bear Grylls. In this show they show us some wild destinations, and they teach us that if we get …
The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 19: Dod Kalm
This episode had promise, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to it. It had all the makings of a solid stand alone, isolating the agents, giving them a ticking clock against an unnatural enemy, and even allowing for some character conflict, but the execution wasn’t as good as …
Friends Episode: Phoebe the Workaholic
One of the early episodes whereby we get to glimpse Phoebe’s busy work-life as a stockbroker or something. Phoebe has a lot of work that she does before she becomes a Massage Assistant and the one whereby she becomes a stockbroker is also when she suffers a mini heart-attack. …
Supernatural: Season One
Supernatural is a television series about two brothers who travel around the US killing supernatural entities who attack humans who have no idea of what is really going in the world. That’s the basic idea of Supernatural, but the series itself is so much more.
I wasn’t really grabbed by …
Gilligan’s Island - Good-Bye Island TV show
Now this episode is more of the good reputation I have come to know and love in the Gilligan’s Island series. The castaways are working together nicely as a team, they have great problem solving solutions and treat each other with respect. These are the excellent morals you would …
The Simpsons: Mona Leaves-a
Well, that was actually kind of a depressing episode of the Simpson’s last night; Mona Leaves-a. I tuned in expecting laughs and there were a few. But, overall, I felt a bit saddened by it.
Homer’s mom returns to Springfield again. This time, because she has faked her death, she …
M*A*S*H: Inga
Mariette Hartley portrays the title role in M*A*S*H: Inga. Dr. Inga Halvorsen is a Swedish doctor visiting the 4077th, and Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) is immediately fascinated by her. I really love this because it’s not the usual love affair for the chief surgeon. In fact, …
The TV Show “Medium” on NBC
Although it’s not returning in the fall line up, and instead will be showing up again in the mid-season line up, the show “Medium” has fast become one of my favorites. “Medium” is based on the real life of one Allison Dubois, a research medium. It stars …
Knight Rider Season 1, Ep 15: Fly By Knight
Knight Rider is one of those simple shows that we know are simple but we still watch because we like that simplicity. It is about good guys agains the bad guys, just here the good guy, Mike, drives this great car called Kitt that has or is AI and …
Gilligan’s Island -The Producer TV Show
Here we are again graced with another famous guest actor Harold Hecuba, a TV producer, played by Phil Silvers. So of course Ginger is second main actor in this show. I didn’t like the way this Hecuba character treated the castaways, more like they are lower than him instead …
Highway Patrol: Reformation TV Show
Highway Patrol: Reformation aired towards the back end of this police drama’s second season. I like the concept of this episode, though I think that some of the drama could have been enhanced to give more intrigue for the viewers.
Broderick Crawford plays the confident Chief Dan Mathews, head …
Jonestown Cult Documentary
Jonestown Cult is a disturbing documentary, released in 2009, concerning the mass suicide of over 900 members in 1978, at the urging of its charismatic leader, Jim Jones. It was interesting because a picture was painted of how the situation could get that bad without people questioning the …

Bones
This isn’t just another CSI copy cat. This is the real thing. Kathy Reichs is the person behind Temperance Brennan, who is a forensic anthropologist for the Jeffersonian Institute. Tempe or Bones, as she is fondly called by everybody, is not your ordinary geek. She’s strong willed, she knows …
Mighty Boosh - Season 3 - Episode 1: Eels
The Mighty boosh isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. If you like your comedy a little bit different though, this is for you.
It’s surreal, strange, bizarre and almost frightening in places, but you also get a bit of good old dumb humor thrown in for good measure.
Here, we see …
Training Mules And Donkeys
Training Mules And Donkeys with Meredith Hodges is an excellent television show on RFD TV. Meredith Hodges is famous for her work with mules and donkeys, and they claim she is a forerunner in working with these animals. Everyone wants a horse, and historically mules and donkeys were used …

The Defenders: Las Vegas v. Reid TV Show
The Defenders: Las Vegas v. Reid is the second show of this new law series that is as much comedy as it is drama. For example, in the opening tease, the first bit has the series leads, Jim Belushi and Jerry O’Connell, standing below the big, bold billboard …
The X-Files: Season 1, Episode 9: Space
From what I’ve read, this episode was critically lambasted. To its credit, the episode does have some strong ideas behind it, but the execution of it ends up doing the plot a disservice. There are several instances where astronauts have reported seeing something out in space during …
Naruto Episode 10 Subbed
After a brief tantalizing taste of action Naruto returns to a peaceful setting and this episode is dedicated solely to character building and general information. At the cottage by the sea we meet some new characters who will never be seen again after this brief arc but a good …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Protege
There’s some drama for sure in Have Gun - Will Travel: The Protégé when Richard Boone’s Paladin teaches Peter Breck’s Kurt Sprague in gun use and etiquette. It’s so weird to see Breck playing this kind of role. He was all decked out in a proper city …
Ghost Hunters: Essex County Penitentary
You know what, I had a lot of hope for last night’s Ghost Hunters episode at Essex County Penitentary. After all, they had Josh Gates (from Destination Truth) helping them out so you would think they would find something. But, it was actually a bit disappointing.
First of all, why …
Have Gun - Will Travel: One Came Back
Have Gun - Will Travel: One Came Back is from the third season of this western series. It opens with Paladin getting a fitting as the wealthy gentleman he is known as in San Francisco. That has nothing to do with the story, but I really enjoy …

M*A*S*H: The Interview
M*A*S*H: The Interview, while giving credit to Larry Gelbart for both directing and writing, was done in huge part in an unscripted manner. I recall numerous interviews and articles about this when this show aired originally on network television. It received a lot of attention at that …
Dragonball Evolution
I am a big fan of the whole Dragonball series, and I have all the series in DVD. Whatever, when I heard that Dragonball is coming alive, and a movie is in making, then I was very curious. When the movie released I was pretty much excited to see …
