The League of Gentlemen Are Behind You
The League’s second stage show is like its predecessor, divided into two acts. The first follows Ollie Plimsoles, founder of Legs Akimbo theatre company, auditioning Royston Vasey for a local nativity performance, dubbed “community”.
The second act follows the performance itself, by now a run of the mill pantomime, featuring …
One Litre of Tears (Ichi Rittoru no Namida)
This japanese series used to be a big hit in japan - and when it was subbed in North America - it became even more widely known. Based on a true story of a young girl named Aya. She is an ordinary girl - except she has an incurable …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Black Ferris TV Show
As respects the August 10, 1990 airing of The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Black Ferris, I’m going to start by saying that I went nuts trying to figure out where I’d seen the main young boy in this story. His real name, Zachary Bennett, was familiar but I …
Ghost Hunters TV Episode: Haunted Town
Synopsis: TAPS investigates three reportedly haunted buildings in the city of Alexandria, Louisiana and the later gives their reveal in front of a community gathering.
What I liked about this episode: Even though it would be nice to see some actual evidence from time to time, some of the best …
Brain Games (tv show)
One of the most interesting new television shows that I’ve discovered recently is one called Brain Games that comes from time to time on the cable television channel National Geographic. I think that the reason why I like it so much and the reason it stands out is because …
Stargate SG-1: The Scourge
Stargate SG-1: The Scourge is one of the better and more intriguing shows in the ninth season of SG-1. In it, SG-1 is ordered to escort members of the IOA Committee off-world where things naturally go wrong. The fun starts in the gate room when Daniel and …
On the Run Silver Bandit Episode
I really liked this episode. I thought it was just completely hilarious. Although I must say that if felt just a little bit too long, but that was due to the crimes of the individual criminal because he kept getting away all the time and the police had to …
Scrubs: Our Drunk Friend
This episode had a lot of the same problems that the first episode had.
I think the biggest problem though was that it was rehashing territory already covered. I mentioned that the last episode did similar things, but this episode does practically the exact same thing with an alcoholic …
Doctor Who: Season 5, Episode 7: Amy’s Choice
This episode presents a dilemma that even the Doctor admits is going to be tricky. It seems the TARDIS crew is bouncing back and forth between two realities, one in which they are all on the TARDIS and another where five years have past and Amy is pregnant. …
Fox News Channel
With the multiple news channels that we have access to in the United States, we all have to make choices about what channels we watch. I think that Fox News is the best choice among American news channels. This is for many reasons.
First of all, its slogan …
A Certain Justice - Part 2
A Certain Justice - Part 2 was a bit slower for me than part 1 was. This story is from the P.D. James novel and uses the familiar character of Commander Adam Dalgliesh. As an American, I assume commander is a detective. That seemed to be …
Sliders-Rules of the Game
This is the first episode of the third season of Sliders (at least the first on the air, although it was not the first on the production line) and it is here that we can see the once mighty series start to head down hill. It is not …
Tila Tequila
Even though I am quite an anti-fan of Tila Tequila, I began watching her “Shot at Love” show with somewhat of an open mind.The first
few episodes revealed that her search for love was bisexual, and involved male and female contestants. After watching this and the “competitions”
involved, I decided I …
Wagon Train: The Cassie Vance Story
I like The Cassie Vance Story, one of the ninety minute color episodes that aired during the seventh season of the hit western, Wagon Train. Laraine Day was the guest star, and she was so wonderful to watch. She’s an accomplished actress that brought depth to the …
Family Matters the TV show
The show family matters was a good show and I use to love watching it all the time when it was on the air. I love how the characters on the show were just average people; working average jobs but quite often dealt with major problems and this show …
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, …
Laramie: The Replacement TV Show
Laramie: The Replacement is one of my very favorite episodes of this series. It’s in the top 5, in fact. I absolutely love it. It’s the kind of the story that keeps me on the edge of my seat while also engaging my heart. The …
Due South: Hunting Season
As Due South winds down, it gave us a storyline twist that really proved to be quite interesting. Due South: Hunting Season guest stars Jessica Steen as Constable Maggie MacKenzie who comes to Chicago for much the same reason as Constable Benton Fraser had, to track down a …
The Office: Gay Witch Hunt
Gay Witch Hunt starts where the episode Casino Night left off. Jim and Pam have just kissed, but that only takes a moment at the beginning of the episode then they move into one of the most uncomfortable episodes of any TV show.
Michal finds out that Oscar is gay …
Star Trek: That Which Survives TV Show
Star Trek: That Which Survives is one of the shows that gave me an eerie feeling as a young child. It’s the “I am for you” concept that comes from the lead guest star. A touch kills, and as a youngster, that freaked me out. I …
Voyagers!: The Trial of Phineas Bogg
Voyagers!: The Trial of Phineas Bogg is probably the one episode I’ve remember for decades, other than the pilot. It’s basically a clips show, a budget costing maneuver by networks and producers to keep costs down on a show because most of the action is done with clips …
Venture Bros: Pinstripes and Poltergeists
This episode brings 24 back, still in ghost form and guiding 21. 21’s really become a competent character. For most of the season, the joke was that he thought he had, as the trope says, taken a level in badass, but it turns out it’s starting to …
Doctor Who: Season 5, Episode 6: The Vampires of Venice
The TARDIS picks up another crew member as the Doctor decides to bring Rory along so that he can spend time with Amy. I imagine it is also to keep Amy from putting the moves on him. More than that, he probably doesn’t want to be the …
Golden Girls Season Five Boxed Set
If you buy this season, prepare to be confused. The show has never been great with continuity, but this season is even worse than others. One of the most glaring problems is Rose’s boyfriend Miles. Miles appears on the show when the couple first meet, and Rose falls in …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Long Way Home TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Long Way Home aired in February 1961 and featured a really nice guest cast which helped to elevate the show in overall success.
In the story, Richard Boone portrays Paladin, our heroic gunfighter. How I love the opening bits in San Francisco. There’s …
Home Improvement: Adios
Since there wasn’t anything really worth watching on TV yesterday afternoon, I ended up watching Home Improvement re-runs; including the one where Randy leaves the show to go to Costa Rica.
This was the first time I have seen this episode (though I have heard about it) and I have …

Little People, Big World (tv)
One show that I have found rather interesting is broadcasted on the Discovery Channel, and is called Little People, Big World. Maybe it is the social worker in me, but I really do enjoy watching the show. It takes a family in which the parents are both …
Gilligan’s Island TV Episode: Ship’s Ahoax
I usually enjoy watching re-runs of the show Gilligan’s Island on the weekends; especially if I’m stuck in the house because of the weather or a sleeping baby. This past weekend, I got to see one I haven’t seen in a while; Ship’s Ahoax.
This one is actually interesting (in …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Two Plus One
Two Plus One was the 30th episode of the sixth season of Have Gun - Will Travel. I miss TV seasons with that many episodes, and this wasn’t even the last one. We don’t get a San Francisco opening unfortunately. Rather, we see Paladin (Richard Boone) …
Shark Week: Oceans of Fear: episode one — Perfect Predators TV show
The collection Perfect Predators is a series of nature show specials on sharks. This was one of the editions of Shark Week, a yearly event on the Discovery Channel, which features a week of programs all about sharks. This episode, Perfect Predators, is an overview of information …

Late Night News (LNN) Satrical Comedy Show
The characteristics and particularly the flaws and mistakes of politicians make for some great comedy material and I particularly love any comedian or comedy show that makes use of politics as material.
Late Night News, with leading local stand up comedian Loyiso Gola, is one such show and I love …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Touched with Fire TV Show
Weird is weird and that’s pretty much how I feel about The Ray Bradbury Theater: Touched with Fire despite the fact that it has a guest cast that includes Barry More and Eileen Brennan. Basically the plot of this August 1990 science fiction outing has two aging and …
Project Blue Book, TV Series (2019)
In my opinion, The Blue Book is one of the most interesting series of at least the last 5 years. What are its principal merits?
Dramatic and scenic authenticity, no comic relief - you won’t find here any cardboard heroes, saving the world by clutching their fingers in the wings …

It is the last day of school. Lisa prints the yearbook, but she herself does not manage to get any autographs signed. This makes her very depressed. She feels like a loser, inspite of doing so well in academics. Her brother Brat however is very popular, along with the …
Asia Bagus
A few years back, there was this particular singing talent show, quite like American Idol and it’s on my local TV channel called Asia Bagus. Well, during those times, it was super fun to watch shows like this, and it was quite hard to get a singing talent show …
Dexter - season 1 - Complete season
So how did this award-winning tv show start? Well Dexter, in my opinion, is a very distinctive tv show from all the others. It is not a simple crimishow. The whole idea of Dexter, as shown in season 1, is to portray the crime scene from Dexter´s point of …
Dancing with the Stars - 10-26-09
After a shocking elimination last week, the stars were back to perform tonight. The shows this year have definitely been entertaining and this one was as well. Their star-studded audiences are prevalent weekly. This week, not only was LaToya Jackson there, but Katherine Jackson, as well.
Leading …
The Rapture (Discovery Channel - Religion Program)
The Discovery Channel just aired a program on The Rapture that I found rather interesting. The Rapture encompasses the idea of Jesus coming to rescue people who have had faith in Him prior to a seven year period of earthly damnation. I was surprised to learn that …

Tom and Jerry Episode: The Flying Cat
I love watching Tom and Jerry and the episode entitled “The Flying Cat” delivers it’s usual humour as with many of the other Tom and Jerry episodes I have had the pleasure of watching in my life.
