The Next Iron Chef: Resourcefulness TV Show
I had to chuckle very early on The Next Iron Chef: Resourcefulness because after host Alton Brown informs them about the challenge and prepares to give them the ‘go’, the chefs all hunch down, like getting ready to run a marathon. Seriously, I don’t think I’ve seen that …
Jeremiah: A Means to an End
Markus Alexander (Peter Stebbings) has come a long way in this first season of Jeremiah. From being happy in his seclusion at Thunder Mountain to this episode, A Means to an End, when he’s finally open to bringing in others from the outside to try and secure a …
Doctor Who: Season 5, Episode 3: Victory of the Daleks
This episode picks up where the last left off, with the Doctor and Amy heading back to WW2 after getting a call for help from Winston Churchill. Despite arriving a month late, things aren’t looking too bad. Well, all things considered, of course, there is still a …
Beast Wars - Other Victories
Beast Wars - Other Victories is the third to last episode of the series and loosely leads up to the series finale. For example, in this episode, the Predicon base is destroyed by the arrival of Tigerhawk and in the next episode, Megatron orders Inferno, Quickstrike and Waspinator to …
Felicity Huffman on Ellen - (2009 show)
Did you guys manage to watch Felicity Huffman on Ellen for this year 2009 interview? I did and it was a good one and funny too. Both Ellen and Felicity are very funny people and they are both witty and charming. Felicity is one of the best …
Babylon 5: Season 1, Episode 7: Mind War
Now this is more in line with what I’ve come to expect from Babylon 5. The story is engaging and there are several angles to the story. While the episode could’ve gone with the traditional “psi cops are good guys trying to catch the rogue villain” route, …
Sea Hunt: Survival Kit TV Show
Survival Kit is the 13th program of the fourth season of the underwater adventure series, Sea Hunt, which stars Lloyd Bridges as Mike Nelson, a highly successful and respected deep sea diver.
My problem with this show is hypocrisy. The more I see of Sea Hunt, the more I …
The Event: Protect Them from the Truth TV Show
My problem with The Event: Protect Them from the Truth, which is the third episode of the series, is that we open with another big crash, probably intentional, but the point is that Jason Ritter’s Sean Walker survives, again, when everyone else dies. How many lives that he …
Due South: Flashback
The final episode of the second season of Due South was called Flashback, for the simple reason that it reviewed the show’s history. While chasing diamond thieves, Royal Canadian Mounted Police Constable Benton Fraser gets hit by a car and loses his memory. In a bit of …
Celebrity Apprentice - 3/22/09
I’ve asked it before and I’ll ask it again. What the heck is Dennis Rodman doing on Celebrity Apprentice? If I didn’t know before that the man is a self-absorbed idiot, I do now. His confrontation with Clint Black was childish; except it was also dangerous. …
Vampire High Season 1 Episode 12
In this episode, Merrill has a premonition about her death and is ready to face her fate, but Drew believes otherwise.
The show opens with Merrill being strapped to a chair screaming and pleading out, as she watches herself standing over her as she dies. Merrill can’t see the person …
Diagnosis Murder: Amnesia TV Show
Dick Van Dyke is back for episode two of Diagnosis Murder, this one entitled Amnesia. This was a show I rarely missed in its first run. The show begins with a neat scene between Dr. Mark Sloan and his detective son, Steve, who is played by Van …
House: 5 to 9
Well, when I heard last night’s House episode, 5 to 9, was being told through the eyes of Cuddy versus House, I had some serious doubts. She is quickly becoming my least favorite character on the show and I didn’t think I would enjoy the episode.
But, I have to …
Kekkaishi Episode 2 (Anime)
Kekkaishi Episode 2 follows a typical day in the lives of Yoshimori and Tokine, Yoshimori sleeps during class while Tokine is smart and good at school work. It also shows Yoshimori’s passion, making castles out of cake.
This episode was rather light-hearted, which is rather nice, considering the fact …
Private Eye: Blue Hotel Part 1
Private Eye: Blue Hotel Part 1 is a remarkably engaging episode of this series, which is set back in the mid-to-late fifties. It stars Michael Woods as Jack Cleary, a one-time cop who is now a private eye. Working with him is Jack Betts, a young man …
America’s Got Talent
I usually don’t sit down and watch America’s Got Talent because I had gotten so used to watching other talent search shows like American Idol or So You Think You Can Dance. However, sometimes there’s just not anything else on entertaining. The judges are really fun to watch too …
How I Met Your Mother: Intervention
“Intervention” was a pretty funny episode of the CBS sit-com How I Met Your Mother. It actually addressed some of the issues a lot of fan are probably thinking that Ted is really rushing into things with Stella, considering she lives in New Jersey and has a young …
Seven days Season 2 Episode 1
As I have seen most of the episodes of the first season of show Seven days I knew, more or less, what to expect in seconds season. Actually I was expecting some little improvements because it usually happens that way. Then again, the first episode should also be a …
Da Ali G Show
Da Ali G show is a very funny show. I love this show and I think anyone that watches it will ahve a reaction. Theyw ill either love or hate Ali G.

Doreman
The Hungama is a kid’s channel where they telecast the cartoon show or serial called Doreman. The Doreman is a very interesting, entertaining and funny cartoon serial which my children love to watch. In this cartoon serial there is a robot future cat, and his friend Nobitha …
Voyagers!: Pursuit
Voyagers!: Pursuit was another good episode and one I enjoyed a lot, in part because it dabbled just lightly into the space program, which is a topic I’m very interested in. Do a good space show, and the odds are I’ll enjoy it.
Apparently, it’s young Jeffrey Jones’ birthday …
Monk Season 3
The third season of Monk was a transitional period, and that’s why I had to rate it so low. Sharona was one of my favorite characters and in this season she ended up leaving the show. I heard that it was a contract dispute and some money problems, but …
The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 2: The Host
A monster of the week episode should, by all accounts, be difficult to pull off, what with the X-files being closed and all. Still, we manage to get a classic one here. The “flukeman” has become one of the iconic X-files monsters and, after watching this episode, …
Ghost Hunters: Ghostly House Guest
Well, I’m almost through all the season 3 episodes of Ghost Hunters and have to say I really haven’t been too impressed with the so-called evidence they are collecting.
The one we watched last night, Ghostly House Guest, had some potential. There was a house that was supposedly being haunted by …
The Office Season 3
The third season of The Office isn’t my favorite season of the show, but I think it’s pretty good and it has some truly funny scenes. I didn’t like it enough to buy it when it first came out on DVD, but I liked it enough to buy it …
Starz
Starz is one of the premium movies that you can get. I used to have all of the movie channels and then I did away with them. When I used to have them all of them were really good. Now none of them are as good as they used …
The Virginian: Two Men Named Laredo TV Show
The Virginian: Two Men Named Laredo isn’t too bad to watch. It actually was unusual in that the 90-minute western dealt with mental illness. At the center of that was Fabian, who showed some acting chops in his portrayal of Eddie aka: Josh Laredo. He joins …
CHiPs: The Grudge
Season two of CHiPs included an episode called The Grudge which is just a little offbeat and unrealistic. What we have in this hour-long drama are some college students who get arrested and subsequently are suspended from school. Having nothing else to do, they decide to do …
Models of the Runway: Chic Clique
As I predicted with last week’s Models of the Runway episode, the show is starting to get a bit on the predictable side. Once a designer is eliminated, it is pretty much a given his model will be too since the designers always seem to stick with their models; …
Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn: Hot Sauce TV Show
Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn: Hot Sauce was another good outing, even though it wasn’t totally my style. The thing is that I really like watching Lucinda. She appears just like any common, everyday woman. Her kitchen set isn’t pretentious. Yes, it has all …
Highway Patrol: Narcotics TV Show
This review will cover the episode called Narcotics, from the police drama, Highway Patrol. It was the 36th outing of the second season. If only they made that many shows today. Back in the day, seasons were long.
First of all, it was really neat to have …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Long Night
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Long Night is definitely one of the best episodes from the first season of this western. I really enjoyed it. It kept me guessing and was exciting. I honestly can’t say that the heavy last minute, and it really was …
Wonder Pets show
Unfortunate the show “The Wonderpets” on Noggin is something that could be a good idea if they had developed it further. The issue is that there are only about five episodes. I mean, how many times can the stupid cow get stuck in a tree with a tornado on …
Criminal Minds: Penelope
I finally caught this episode on the ION Channel night before last. I missed it the first time it came on which really ticked me off. Which is funny, since I had never really watched Criminal Minds before. So why was I upset? It was …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Three Bells to Perdido
Have Gun - Will Travel: Three Bells to Perdido is the first episode of this series and it dates back to 1957. That’s a time when black and white was all that was on the TV screen and back when stereotypes existed. I mention this because this …

The Simple Life (television)
“Laugh and the world laughs with you”. That phrase does not always seem to alighn properly with Paris Hilton and Nicole Richey’s, The Simple Life, more often than not, does it? While this dynamic duo makes millions of dollars based upon their innate ability to function in …
The Simpson’s: Barting Over
Our infant daughter took a while to fall asleep last night so I ended up sitting up with her and watched the late episode of The Simpson’s. It happened to be the one entitled “Barting Over.”
This one was somewhat funny. Bart discovers he made a commercial when he was …
The X-Files Squeeze Episode
I thought the introduction for this particular episode of the popular 1990s American television show “The X-Files” was very creepy. I’m not sure if that was because I was watching it while I was at home alone, or because I was watching it recently online and not on television. …
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 …
The Simpsons
“The Simpsons” is one of the animated series first aired by the cable television channel FOX which I have and will always consider as a classic. I have seen many popular culture references to it in movies and even other cartoons such as “South Park.” However, I think what …

That Girl: I Didn’t Have the Vegas Notion Part 2
That Girl: I Didn’t Have the Vegas Notion Part 2 continues the action begun the week before in Part 1, picking up with the shocker of a last scene. It’s a largely predictable story to anyone who has been around the block with movies and TV shows, but …

The Pussycat Dolls present Girlicious
This forum here is about the only place that I would ever admit to watching “The Pussycat Dolls present Girlicious.” Yes, I caught an episode and actually watched it all the way through. Watching these things is like eating bad food that you know will …
