TV Show: The Outer Limits
The television show The Outer Limits is an older show and it always gave me the same eerie feeling as the Alfred Hitchcock series. I used to watch this show all the time but now I only catch it occasionally when the Sci Fi Channel does an Outer …
Family Guy:PTV
I hadn’t seen the Family Guy episode PTV in a while so I was thrilled to come across it on television today.
This is a fantastic episode because it makes a mockery on how the FCC will sometimes overreact to people overreacting to something they might be offended to, rather …
Due South: Good for the Soul
A holiday show, Due South: Good for the Soul is pretty good. It has humor, drama, and poignancy. While shopping in the mall for Christmas presents, Constable Benton Fraser arrests a mob boss for slapping a bus boy in one of the mall restaurants. He really …
That Girl - Season Two DVD set
Again, my problem with the Shout Factory DVD release of this show, and others that they’ve done, is how inconvenient the layout is. Since this is only a four-disk set, it’s not as bad as others, but what they tend to do is put two DVDs on the …
The Fairy Jobmother TV show
I was flipping through channels and came across the show “The Fairy Jobmother”. I had never heard about the show previously and I thought it was a creative title, so I gave it a try. The show was a professional who helped people who had been hurt …

Afro Samurai Episode 3 (Anime)

South Park TV Episode: The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs
It has been ages since I’ve watched the show South Park. But, I found myself watching a couple episodes last night. The first one was The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs.
This was actually a pretty funny episode; though a bit grosser than I remember the show being. Basically, the boys …
Daytime TV Shows: General Hospital
I began watching General Hospital back when Luke raped Laura. I was in high school then and watched it for many years afterward. I lost track of the show when I returned to work when my children got a little bit older. When I began to work from home, …

The Fugitive: Cry Uncle was an interesting entry in this hit dramatic TV series. Kimball ends up having to placate a troubled teenager who helps him to hide from the police. The police aren’t actually looking for him, but are on the track of some robbers. …
Beast Wars - Nemesis Part Two
Beast Wars - Nemesis Part Two is the final episode of the series and in several ways, it is also one of the most disappointing episodes of the series. I positively hated how several characters were killed off in this episode simply because they “needed to be” since the …
Stargate SG-1: Deadman Switch
The third season of Stargate SG-1 gets back on track with a really terrific episode called Deadman Switch. It guest stars Sam Jones (of Flash Gordon fame) as Aris Boch, an alien bounty hunter whose actions and motives keep the team guessing about what is really going on.

Highway Patrol: Deadly Diamonds TV Show
From December 1958, Highway Patrol: Deadly Diamonds was an okay half hour, but the entertainment value wasn’t as strong as some other outings simply because it’s a stale plot. We’ve seen jewelry thieves on the show before, and we’ve also seen three person teams.
Frankly, the set up for …
Treme TV Show
As is the case with many other viewers of ‘The Wire’, the next project undertook by David Simon was to be met with equal parts enthusiasm and scrutiny. The brilliance of ‘The Wire’ ensured there would be lofty expectations for ‘Treme’, but the fact that this show is quite …

There’s some excitement in Death of an Expert Witness - Part 5 as Chief Superintendent Adam Dalgliesh (Roy Marsden) continues the search for a murderer. However, as always happens in P.D. James novels that are turned into TV series, there’s never just one murder. Death breeds death …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Sanctuary TV Show
I love the opening of The Sanctuary, which is the 33rd episode of the sixth and final season of Have Gun - Will Travel. There’s a rather smug man named Captain Zimmerman who is playing a round of chess with several men at the same time. He’s …
Fringe: The Bishop Revival
I finally got a chance to watch a full episode of Fringe last night (I love DVR because it allows me to pause the show until I get my daughter to bed). The episode, The Bishop Revival, was interesting and a bit creepy.
Basically, they had a Nazi scientist using …

I knew there was a spin-off from the old show Raven called Cory in the House but I never got a chance to actually watch it until yesterday; when my daughter had it on TV and I just happened to be in the room.
After seeing a couple episodes in …
The Andy Griffith Show: Andy’s English Valet TV Show
Bernard Fox makes his first appearance as Malcolm Merriweather in this March 1963 episode of The Andy Griffith Show called Andy’s English Valet. It’s a charming entry that eventually has Malcolm working as a valet for Andy and Opie (Ron Howard).

Family Guy - Road to Multiverse
When I first saw this episode, I thought it would be like all of the other Road to—¦ Family Guy episodes. Just Brian and Stewie running around, nothing with much meaning or humor involved in it. I loved this one. Because Brian …

Sea Hunt: Time Fuse TV Show

Stargate SG-1: Lost City Part 1
Stargate SG-1: Lost City Part 1 was the first of a two-part season ender for the science fiction show. While much of it is excellent, I have problems with other facets of the production.
This show marks the end of an era, and it’s not one I liked. …

M*A*S*H: Mail Call Three is the third episode that is primarily devoted to the subject of mail call. It’s the various reactions to their mail that is the story. Some are humorous and some are more serious.
For B.J. Hunnicutt (Mike Farrell), he wonders if his wife still …
Sea Hunt: Cross Current TV Show
Sea Hunt’s third season saw an episode called Cross Current as it’s 19th outing. Airing in May 1960, this show had some very interesting movements in the water, with Mike Nelson drifting and being turned and tossed. We’ve seen some of this before, but I love the …

American Idol Season 8 Auditions
I am really psyched by American Idol Season 8 Auditions. In Singapore, we have the same day telecast as the US and that is super awesome. These past 3 nights in a row from Wednesday right up to Friday, I have been watching the auditions non-stop; meaning? …
Malcolm In the Middle
I was very sad to see Malcolm in the Middle get cancelled. It was one of my favorite shows and I could relate so well to that family. They are hard-working blue collar family, just like mine was when I was growing up, so I can totally understand most …
