Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Beauty and the Beasts
The Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode Beauty and the Beasts actually turned out to be a good one because of the mystery involved.
You have Oz turning into a werewolf and, even though he was locked up, nobody is sure he stayed that way because the window was left open …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Michael Landon (#1) TV Show
Michael Landon had the honor of being roasted as the Man of the Hour in this mid-seventie edition of The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast. He also was honored again during the last season of roasts, making him one of only four performers to receive tribute twice with the …
Friends Episode: Rachel Moving Out
Friends Episode: Rachel Moving Out is one of the better episodes that you can see Monica’s really ‘controlling’ and ‘possessive’ manner of persona. The episode is when Rachel is going to move out and not being her room-mate anymore. And knowing Rachel, she is very laid-back about it …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Shot by Request
Have Gun - Will Travel: Shot by Request is third season episode of the western series that begins by a Paladin (Richard Boone) receiving a valuable book as a gift. It gets his attention so he heads to the home of the sender — Carson City. Once there, …
MacGyver: Out in the Cold
I love this episode of MacGyver. From season two, Out in the Cold is just so much fun to watch. Not only do we get series star Richard Dean Anderson looking cute and sexy in his ski outfit, but we get lots of emotional angst and a …
Sea Hunt: Mercy Ship TV Show
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 …
Highway Patrol: Insulin TV Show
Sometimes Highway Patrol episodes really entertain, and sometimes they bore. In the case of Season 3’s Insulin, which was the 17th episode to air that year, I was entertained; for the most part, anyway.
The police drama revolves around two men who show up at another man’s home. …
Stargate SG-1: 2001
In season 4 of Stargate SG-1, there was an episode called 2010 that I just didn’t like very much, reason being everyone was just so depressed with their lives. Season five gives us the precursor to that episode, though, and it’s called 2001. It’s far better and …
CHiPs: Repo Man
CHiPs: Repo Man features Mills Watson as the repo man. In other words, he’s in the repossession business. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have a lot of tact and he does a lot of underhanded things to get the job done. Quite honestly, I’ve never enjoyed Watson as …
Dexter
I discovered Dexter the television series when I was in the United States for training when my officemate cajoled me into watching it with her. I was a bit curious when she told me that this was about a serial killer of serial killers. And so I sat down …
Gossip Girl TV Series
I have this friend who kept on insisting that I should watch this TV series entitled Gossip Girl because it has finally ended and now I can binge watch through the entire series non-stop. It took me months before I finally agreed to watch it, and those months are …
Diagnosis Murder: Standing Eight Count TV Show
If you’ve read my reviews before, you know that one of the themes of TV shows that I don’t like are ones that focus on any kind of hand to hand fighting, such as boxing. These stories do not appeal to me. I tune out early and …
As The World Turns
Every day at one in the afternoon As the World Turns is on my television. It’s a habit of mine to watch this show, has been for years. It hasn’t had any of the dramatic story lines that border on Science fiction like some of the other shows on …
Doctor Who Season Three, BBC Series
Doctor Who, the series that follows the nameless Time Lord known simply as “the Doctor” as he travels through time and space, reached a third season during the lifetime of the Doctor’s tenth incarnation (he regenerates into a new body when he dies, this making the tenth body he …
Undercover Boss: White Castle
One of the owners of White Castle went undercover as a new employee in Undercover Boss. Dave Rife was the brave soul who spent a week in his White Castle operations and learned first hand how things really are in his restaurants.
I was fascinated with how their sliders …
Columbo: The Complete Fourth Season DVD set
Columbo: The Complete Fourth Season is once again different from all of the prior sets. Universal has put all four seasons on DVD, and each one has been different. Actually, it’s been a progressive downhill ride with each set. Fortunately, this set is a step up …
The Twilight Zone: I Sing the Body Electric TV Show
I Sing the Body Electric is one of my very favorite episodes of The Twilight Zone. Actually, this work has been done as a movie and TV show, and I haven’t seen a version I don’t like. This story goes from when the grandmother is conceived of …
The Whole Truth: Pilot TV Show
The pilot for the new TV series, The Whole Truth, was just okay in my opinion. The show features Rob Morrow as a fast paced defense attorney, along with Maura Tierney as the lead prosecutor. This gives the viewer both sides of the story, so to speak.
At …
Adam 12 - Log 71
This particular episode of Adam-12 isn’t that high up on my list, though it does have some memorable moments.
A lot of folks remember this one for the face off that occurs between two supposedly passive guru types, one of whom is played by “Police Woman” star, Charles Dierkop. …
Men of a Certain Age
I heard a lot of hype about Men of a Certain Age. Ray Romano is the primary star and there was a ton of publicity about his return to television in this show. In my opinion, he should have kept the old show going.
One of the reasons …
On the Run- Globetrotter
On the Run- Globetrotter
This is yet another great episode of the show On the Run- the show that tells the stories of real life sophisticated and unusual criminals, most of which love to live the high life on someone else’s money.
In this episode we get to hear the story …
Rules of engagement show
I have watched the show “rules of engagement” a couple of different times. Overall it is an alright show. I think it could be a much better show honestly though. Some of the actors are good but some aren’t that good. I’m glad to see David Spade in a …
The Singing Bee
Our local TV channel has just brought us the localized version of “The Singing Bee”. A show produced by NBC, an all American reality show aired only about 2 seasons and did not last very long because it did not have a good tv ratings in America. Having said …
Stargate SG-1: Fire and Water
Another superb episode from season one of Stargate SG-1 is Fire and Water. Would they really kill off Daniel Jackson? Of course not, but in the first twenty minutes or so, that is what the audience is led to believe.
One of the most memorable scenes is the …

Jericho TV show
Jericho is one of the great tv shows out this past season. It was on hiatus and is starting again this Monday.
Jericho is about that futuristic time that we all dread - attack of another country (or countries). At the beginning there is are bombs set off …
So You Think You Can Dance: Top Six Perform Again TV Show
So You Think You Can Dance - Top Six Perform Again was a terrific night of TV viewing. Rather than going routine by routine, here are my thoughts on the top six.
Kent - He was just awesome. He’s been my favorite throughout the series. He’s the …
Seinfeld
Seinfeld is a show that my husband and I enjoy watching, even though it has been over for years and you can only catch reruns. It is always good for a laugh.
The show centers around a comedian, Jerry, and his life in New York City, surrounded by his friends, …
The Starter Wife
I’ve seen plenty of ads for the show The Starter Wife and I’ve always been a big Debra Messing fan. But, last night was the first opportunity I’ve had to actually sit down and watch the show.
After finally doing so, I have to say it was good but not …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: School Hard
While the Buffy the Vampire episode School Hard isn’t the best episode I’ve seen of the series, I think it ends up being one of the more important ones for anyone who intends on watching the series from beginning to end because it seems to be setting up several …
Human Target: Action Thriller TV Series
The promos and ads for Fox TV’s action/adventure series, “Human Target”, piqued my interest, but somehow I missed it when it debuted. I’m glad that I stumbled upon it when I was on Hulu.com and was able to watch the pilot episode, among others, before it was no longer …

The World is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game, where each person can have the appearance, personality, sex and other characteristics they want for their character and where they can do practically anything people can do in the real world, also players have total freedom of movement as well …
A Capitol Fourth TV Show
This was the 30th anniversary of A Capitol Fourth, which aired on PBS and was hosted by Jimmy Smits. Smits certainly had a lot of drama in his hosting. He was full of energy and vibrated enthusiasm for the nation’s historic birthday. This is the show …
House : Whac-A-Mole
I often wonder as I watch House how good the medicine in the show really is. I can recognize that it is unconventional but is that because it’s dangerous or because it’s fake. It doesn’t really matter most of the time, but I do wonder.
This episode was about an 18 …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - All Good Things… Part Two
Star Trek: The Next Generation - “All Good Things…” Part Two is the last episode of the series, and really, I think it could have been better. There is a lot about this episode that just does not make very much sense. For example, the explanation for where the …
Desperate Housewives: City On Fire
“City On Fire” is the episode of Desperate Housewives originally airing on ABC on November 16, 2008. A lot happened in this episode, and the events really pushed the plot lines forward just in time for the holidays.
Julie makes her first appearance of the year wtih her forty-something …

“The Ruby” is an episode from the “Inspector Gadget” television series. Chief Quimbly orders Inspector Gadget to a city in India to retrieve a red ruby known as “Big Red” which has been stolen by Dr. Claw and is going to be used to power a laser capable of …
A Miser’s Brothers’ Christmas
A Miser’s Brothers’ Christmas is a 2008 sequel to 1974’s awesome, “The Year Without a Santa Claus”. Unfortunately, I’m nowhere near as taken with it as I was with the 1974 entry.
While Mickey Rooney returns as the voice of Santa and pulls it off beautifully, I found most …
Life on Mars season 1 Episode 11 Home is Where You Hang Your Holster
This episode starts with really great music; the beginning is really strong and dynamic.
While arresting members of a prostitution chain the detectives from 125 find a council man in one of the rooms with a prostitute. Annie and Ray are left at the crime scene to take the statements …
Storage Wars
I watched the new show on A&E called Storage Wars the other day. I was just flipping though the channels and happened to stop on this show for no particular reason. The show follows around 4 professional buyers as they bid on storage lockers. According to …
That ’70s Show
That ’70s Show is a really good show. It’s also amazing that is was on the air from 1998 until 2006. This makes it a very long lasting TV show. I think the idea and concept of the TV show is great. I like how they made a show that …
Dragonball Evolution
I am a big fan of the whole Dragonball series, and I have all the series in DVD. Whatever, when I heard that Dragonball is coming alive, and a movie is in making, then I was very curious. When the movie released I was pretty much excited to see …
MacGyver: Fire and Ice
My biggest issue with the Fire and Ice episode of MacGyver is that it comes just three weeks after the two-part season three opener in which Elyssa Davalos starred as MacGyver’s once-dead and then-dead-again love. To have the same actress, with essentially the same look, return in such …
The Moment of truth TV show
“The Moment of truth” is one of the few reality TV shows I like to watch. This show really fulfils the meaning of reality TV show. “The Moment of truth” is all about speaking the truth, and I mean to say only “truth”, in front of millions of people …
DC Cupcakes: Roller Girls TV Show
In this episode of DC Cupcakes called Roller Girls, the two sisters who own their cupcake bakery business are making over a thousand cupcakes for an event for the DC Roller Girls, which I believe is a Roller Derby team in Washington, D.C.
While that is going on, they also …

Ghost Hunters: A Bat out of Hell
Seriously now, is Meatloaf in every show I watch now or what? First he was on House, then he was on Monk and now he was a guest investigator on Ghost Hunters in their episode “A Bat out of Hell.”
In all fairness, he was quite entertaining to watch (though …
The View show
The View is a show hosted by four women (five when Barbara Walters is on). These four women, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sherri Shepherd and Elisabeth Hasselbeck, have very different opinions and views on many different subjects from raising children, to marriage woes, to political issues.
The best and most …
Beast Wars - Go With the Flow
Beast Wars - Go With the Flow is a third season episode that feels very much like a season one episode. By that, I mean, there is more focus on comedy and humor than there is on the story or the characters. It is most definitely the most lighthearted …
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 …
