Law and Order: CI Season 1, Episode 5

Spongebob Squarepants: Chimps Ahoy
If you ever wonder exactly why Sandy the squirrel has made her home underwater in Bikini Bottom on the cartoon Spongebob Squarepants, you get an interesting explanation of it in the episode “Chimps Ahoy” which happens to be one of my favorites on this series.

Stargate SG-1: Spirits
Love it, love it, love it! That’s how I describe my feelings towards Stargate SG-1: Spirits. This second season episode doesn’t get a lot of acclaim, but it’s been a hit with me from the first time I saw it.
The opening scene catches us off guard with …
Tales of the Gold Monkey: Black Pearl
From 1982, Tales of the Gold Monkey: Black Pearl deals with the building of a bomb by the Germans. It begins, though, with the finding of something unusual on the body of a dead native. The part actually gets bandied around from person to person, ending up …
Crimewatch
Crimewatch is a local TV show that I like to watch because it gives me the latest insight on what’s going on in my country; crime-wise, of course. It is not that interesting to find out that someone has been robbed or killed, but I think the show gives …
Dollhouse
Dollhouse is a television show that aired on Fox. At first I wasn’t too interested in the show, it seemed too scientific and filled with jargon. The basic premise being people sign their lives over to a corporation for five years and in that five years their …
Spongebob Squarepants TV Episode: Nasty Patty

At first, I …
Favorite Water Park Travel Channel TV show
When I was younger, I used to go to water parks all the time. I loved the ones that had a raft, as the ones without generally scared me. This is because I once came down a waterslide and landed in the bottom wading pool in the …
Robot Chicken TV show
Robot Chicken is a sketch comedy show on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim lineup. It’s animated, but not in the traditional moving pictures manner. It’s actually the product of stop-motion animation, making heavy use of action figures and dolls.
A lot of the humor is of the shock or …
Psych: Tuesday the 17th
There aren’t many shows that do a Friday the 13th episode. But, watching Psych last Friday and seeing them do a spoof of the movie was kind of cool.
Ok, it wasn’t really true to the film. But, seeing Shawn and Gus investigating a disappearance at their old youth campground …
Divorce Court Television Show
It amazes me that people are willing to go on a public show to air their dirty laundry. A divorce is hardly ever a great or friendly thing between a couple. Place them in front of a camera and let the blows commence. I get so tired of seeing …
Spongebob Squarepants Season One: Pizza Delivery

Baldwin Hills Season 2
I am a big fan of Baldwin Hills, I have watched all of season one and it was great, currently they are on season two.
I literally love the show, it’s too bad that they are on the last episode, the season finale is coming up and it should be …
Burn Notice: Hot Spot
Burn Notice: Hot Spot from season two isn’t really a big hit for me. The basic concept is that Fiona continues to help Michael try to find out who is trying to kill him, while Michael’s ‘job’ for the show is helping a football player who is in …
Wagon Train: The Whipping
The Whipping episode of Wagon Train focused more on the Bill Hawks character, played by Terry Wilson. The character is background much of the time. Wilson was on the show forever, but was overshadowed by Scott ‘Denny’ Miller as Duke Shannon and later by Robert Fuller as …
Friends season 10
I am a mad fan of this famous TV show called Friends, and I am watching this show for 10 years now, and it has become a part of my life also. I own all the season, and I love all of the seasons, specially the season 10, which …
Alex Haley Queen Mini Series
Alex Haley’s Queen was my first exposure to any of Alex Haley’s work. The mini-series appeared on television in the early 90s, and even though Halle Berry had been a working actress prior to landing the leading role in the mini-series, I think it was her first breakout role …
Adam-12: The Adoption
The fun part of Adam-12: The Adoption has nothing to do with the crime stories, but with a wager made between Pete and Jim. Jim wins the bet, so Pete takes the Reeds out for dinner. Jim was ready for it, too, not having eaten anything else. …

Seven days Season 3 Episode 7 The Fire Last Time
I guess every show sooner or later has to have an episode about escaped prisoners so the time for this show to present such an episode has arrived. Although the title of the show was The Fire Last Time I will remember it under another title, The Episode That …

It’s women’s poker night on Whoopi: Rita Plays Poker, starring Whoopi Goldberg as singer turned hotel owner, Mavis Rae. It’s a little different in having the ladies playing poker. In the beginning, though, one of the women, Diane (Leah Hocking), has to leave because she’s having contractions. …

Diagnosis Murder: The Plague TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: The Plague had some good moments in it. I love shows with angst, but there really wasn’t as much of that as you might think from the title. In fact, in one sense you could say that The Plague was educational, informing the public of …
The Night the World Ended
As I mentioned in another review, I’m introducing my wife to the classic television show Alfred Hitchcock Presents. One of the episodes I got her to watch with me last night was the episode “The Night the World Ended.” This one turned out to be one of the better …

Kate Gosselin on Dancing With The Stars season 10
Kate Gosselin has been announced as a contestant on season 10 of Dancing With The Stars. Even though the show hasn’t even premiered yet, there’s a lot of buzz about all of the Kate haters. I personally don’t have a problem with her, because she’s a mother, …
The Good Guys TV show
Matt Nix, creator of the USA Networks series Burn Notice, has hit on a winning formula with his newest show “The Good Guys” on Fox. The series had a preview episode a week before the series premier and so far this show has been absolutely stunning.
The basic premise follows …

Frosty’s Winter Wonderland
Frosty’s Winter Wonderland is the sequel to the ever popular kids’ classic, Frosty the Snowman. Andy Griffith is the host, animated to tell the story. It’s a very good likeness and Griffith is a terrific singer, which I think some people forget. He sings here and …
Rising Stars tv series
I think of “Rising Stars” as the Jamaican version to the American reality television series “American Idol”. I never did like watching the television show a lot since it focuses on mainly the mainstream music, and I have never seen a contestant who I found was worth my time …
Parental Control
I came home tonight and my wife had MTV on. I haven’t been on that channel in a while but did get to see a show I’ve never seen before “Parental Control.”
The concept behind the show is an interesting one. You have a set of parents who don’t like …

Gilligan’s Island - Physical Fatness TV Show

Ghost Hunters: Judgment Day
I only got a chance to watch bits and pieces of last night’s Ghost Hunters episode “Judgment Day” because I was putting my daughter to bed around that time. But, what I saw of it was definitely interesting.
Too often lately, the episodes have depended on EVPs for their evidence …
Law & Order SVU: Perverted
Last night’s episode of Law & Order SVU was one that I think was kind of weak compared to what it could have been.
The episode “perverted” had Olivia being accused of murder; not only because her business card was found on the victim but because her DNA was found …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Jinx TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: The Jinx, from January 1962 which was part of this comedy show’s second season on the air, was a solid half hour of entertainment, though to be honest, it’s not one I really like all that much. I’ve watched it numerous times. I …
MacGyver: The Road Not Taken
I suppose season two just isn’t as fun for me as season one of MacGyver was. This is another show that just doesn’t quite tickle my fancy as some others do. It’s plenty watchable, with good moments, but it’s another old flame returning, and not just for …
Big Brother Australia
I have mixed feelings about the show Big Brother. Sometimes I like the show and sometimes I can’t stand it. For those of you who do not know about Big Brother, it is a reality TV show, where 12 people go into this house and the whole nation watches …
