We watched the TV special Frosty the Snowman last night and, right after it, there was a newer special on the air called Frosty Returns.
I had never seen this holiday show before so I took the time to sit down and watch it with my two daughters (and wife).
It …

The plot of this season The Office has been moving quickly; stretching away from the basic formula, which succeeded in the seasons before but had began to get old. It is still the same show, but with many new elements.
In The Convention we see little of Jim’s new office …

One of the reasons for watching Remington Steele: Thou Shalt Not Steele from November 1982 is that the episode guest stars Cassandra Harris, who is perhaps better know as being Mrs. Pierce Brosnan. The British actress sadly passed away years ago of cancer, but shows like this show …

The Marvelous Treasure Machine is an episode of Sea Hunt that has also been referred to as Continental Rift. Unfortunately, shows don’t always show their name titles when they air, and Sea Hunt is one of those. Therefore, I can’t say for sure which episode title is …

I like to watch some of the movies on Lifetime Movie Network on TV.
Used to be this channel was basically sappy love stories, However I think this station offers much more than those type movies.
Yes, they do show romance movies, but I am very glad that they show movies …

The Amazing Race took the teams to India once again. Watching the reactions to this country is always emotional. In particular, it was Luke who had the most dramatic and emotional reaction. It’s hard seeing kids eating garbage and running around naked. His tears were …

I love this dancing show from the first time that I watched Mario Lopez flash his dimples. I have to give it to the producers of this show. Their choice of dance crews is really good. I enjoy the fast paced dancing that every crew dishes out. As Shane …

The most fascinating aspect to The Prisoner TV series for me has been the revolving door with the Number Two character. Number Two continues to change all the time, and I still don’t quite understand why that happens. Regardless, in The Prisoner: Dance of the Dead, Number …

CSI New York Season 2 Episode 21- All Access
A well written Episode of a great show. In addition to the usual crime solving and mystery story, this one also features Kid Rock as himself. The show starts with his performance and that really pumps the energy right from …

The Criminal Minds TV series fits well with all of the other crime investigation drama out there because it is different but still comfortable. The crimes are more graphic - if I wasn’t already desensitized by other shows I would say too graphic, and they probably are too graphic. …

Once again the Discovery Channel comes through with a superb series. The Planet Earth series has without a doubt the most remarkable photography I have seen on a television “nature” series. The producers have spent an exhautive amount of resources in order to present the snapshots of the varied …

I finally got around to watching the 5th season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer today; starting with the first episode, Buffy versus Dracula.
It wasn’t a bad episode but not quite as good as I expected it to be.
As you can guess by the title, Buffy gets to face the …

Ariel is perhaps the best episode of Firefly, and that is saying a lot. Joss Whedon’s characterization is in top form during this episode. He’s been hinting since the pilot that the only thing that Jayne is really loyal to is money. This episode brings that …

We’ve been watching a lot of Christmas specials on TV the past couple of days and came across one I hadn’t seen before; even though it has been out for some time.

The dramatic pilot to Jimmy Smits’ new TV series was somewhat interesting. For me, one of the reasons that Smits’ character of Cyrus Garza works is because he lets himself be a bit older here. I haven’t really liked the younger swag characters that he’s played since …

I ended up coming home yesterday to my daughter watching Dora the Explorer on TV (thank you Direct TV for all those kids’ channels). As I sat down relaxing, I ended up watching one episode with her “Rapido Tico.”
This episode was basically dedicated to their friend Tico the squirrel, …

Being one of the newer episodes of South Park, Guitar Queero plays into the same self enhanced stereotypes the writers of the show have been playing into for a while. While the plot is clear enough, it relies too heavily on the subject matter to make it interesting and …

The Great British Bake Off was a 6 week challenge with 10 top bakers cooking around Britain, with two eliminated each week. I’ve seen five of these shows and hope to catch the sixth. Since I’m in America, sometimes I’m not able to see all of these …

Thus far, each season of Doctor Who has ended with one of the leads departing. First it was Eccleston being replaced by Tennant as the Doctor, than Rose left to make way for Martha, who was subsequently replaced by Donna Noble. Here we have an unprecedented clean …

It’s official, I absolutely love the second season. Season 2 of “The Two Coreys” is to Season 1 what “The Godfather, Part II” is to “The Godfather”. The title of this episode, “Intervention”, is exactly what it’s about. This one delves deep into Corey Haim who finds himself in …

This year featured a new reality type show called the Next Best Thing. The show featured people impersonating movie stars or other famous people. While the show was slightly boring watching week to week. The semi=finals of the show was simply outstanding. The winners were …

From 1961, Sea Hunt: Mercy Ship had some interesting intrigue to it. Though the stories often include fascinating sea creatures, this episode takes a turn that puts deep sea diving expert, Mike Nelson, in the middle of a war.
Playing Nelson is Lloyd Bridges. He’s very good …

One of the more interesting episodes from the first season, Max Headroom: Security Systems (which aired April 21, 1987) has a really fun dynamic where the computer entity of Max Headroom having to elicit the assistance of a female computer. It’s all because Edison Carter’s life has been …

From 1962, Gerry Anderson’s Fireball XL5: Space Immigrants is a mixture of ‘rah, women’s lib’ and ‘oops, she can’t do it without her man’. Okay, that’s not the plot, but it’s how the plot made me feel. The adorable, sexy space doctor of medicine, Doctor Venus, is …

Undercovers: Instructions is the second show of this series about a husband and wife with a catering business who also operate as spies for tough missions. In this episode, Dr. Nasir, a valuable scientist, has gone missing, as has her husband. The suspected kidnappers are private military brothers …

Like all true blood episodes this one was filled with a little bit for everyone. We had violence, death, homosexuality, nudity, drug and alcohol abuse, sex and lots of blood. No episode of this show is boring or predictable in any way. That is why I …

I didn’t get a chance to watch the first few minutes of the That 70s Show episode “Who Needs You.” But, from what I saw of it, I have to admit it was a pretty funny episode that I would definitely watch again.
There were three major stories going on …

MTV has a brand new reality program called ‘From G’s to Gents, where they have taken the regular thub from the corner and thrown him in a reality tv setting hoping to transform these thugs into real high society gentlemen.

I once again sat down to watch an episode of Futurama with my oldest daughter last night. And, since it was the next one on the DVD, we ended up watching the season 1 episode entitled “Mars University.”
This one was an OK episode but not an overly great one. …

If TV shows were food, then Medium would be my comfort food-the pizza or the ice cream or the well buttered popcorn. Medium tells the story of a woman- a wife and a stay at home mom to three girls, who had decided to come work for the state …

I enjoyed the opening of this episode of Checkmate. The episode title is Face in the Window, and we see the face through the window as we meet the main characters, shopping. They have a fun, carefree chat about a statue which symbolizes happiness. The man …

This show appears on Fuse, a music-focused station. It’s a half-hour show that plays five videos centers around a theme, whether it’s the genre of the music, or some aspect of the videos themselves, like featuring extreme sports. The problem with this format is if you’ don’t …

The plot of That Girl: Those Friars really doesn’t matter. What does matter is the joy of seeing Danny Thomas guest starring on his daughter’s highly successful TV series. He’d done a cameo on an earlier episode that was just delightful, but this part was a little …

I was so surprised by The Virginian: The Small Parade. I was expecting a parade, as in a circus parade or something, but what I got was a parade of young, adorable orphans. What a great title and what a fun show. As a youngster, I …
