Numb3rs Season 4 Episode 13

The Virginian: Sue Ann TV Show
From The Virginian’s fifth season came a nice episode called Sue Ann. It’s notable for a couple of reasons, one of which is that it starred the terrific Patty Duke and second is that it was the return of Clu Gulager as Deputy Sheriff Emmett Ryker.
This is the …
48 Hours: Live to Tell
The hit CBS television show 48 Hours has a new spin, and I’ll say up front that I like it. One of the things I’ve disliked about old episodes of 48 Hours is the drama brought about by the story teller, or reporter. It was like propaganda, …

M*A*S*H: Chief Surgeon Who? is the fourth episode of this legendary series about the 4077th in the Korean War. It’s actually one of my very favorite episodes because it’s the classic face off between Hawkeye Pierce and Frank Burns. After a disagreement in the OR, Burns brings …

Stargate SG-1: Birthright is an intriguing episode from season seven. It’s the introduction of a female Jaffa named Ishta, wonderfully portrayed by Jolene Blalock. She’s the best pairing with Teal’c since the actresses who played his wife on the series.
Blalock and the other women who are part …

Law & Order SVU: Retro

ABC Family’s “Huge” pilot episode
ABC Family has apparently had enough success with its “Secret Life of an American Teenager” to decide to follow that with another lifetime-movie like series, this time centred not around the issue of teenage pregnancy, but that of teenage obesity. Curiosity made me view the pilot and the most …

Ghost Hunters: Waverly Hills
After watching the last season two episode “Crescent Hills & Dr. Ellis” I was half expecting a big let down from the episode that followed it on the DVD “Waverly Hills.”
But, I will say, despite that anticipation, I wasn’t disappointed.
This episode brought the TAPS team to a run down …
John Doe: Low Art TV show
John Doe: Low Art is fairly entertaining on the whole to watch. The story temporarily puts aside the issue of who John Doe really is and instead focuses on his new friends and John’s ability to interact without acting like a machine.
The catalyst for the mystery element of …
That Girl: There’s Nothing to Be Afreud of But Freud Himself
That Girl: There’s Nothing to Be Afreud of But Freud Himself is one of those shows that I’m not so crazy about. Not every episode can be a winner, and while there is plenty to laugh about, this ink blot joke just doesn’t quite capture my funny bone …

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Doppelgangland
I always wondered how Willow can be such a reliable person and a doormat without going insane on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. So, it was good to see an episode that featured her in Doppelgangland.

The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 20: Humbug
This episode was certainly a drastic shift from others that had come before it. While humor would occasionally spring its head in the form of some deadpan quipping or a funny comment from Frohike, we never really saw it manifest itself to this extent. Even more impressive …

Venture Bros.: Blood of the father, heart of steel
This episode picks up where the season finale left off…sort of. It isn’t told in chronological order, rather it’s shuffled up. The differences were so drastic that I was convinced that they were introducing a multiverse, with one being real and the other taking place in …
Supernatural: Season One
Supernatural is a television series about two brothers who travel around the US killing supernatural entities who attack humans who have no idea of what is really going in the world. That’s the basic idea of Supernatural, but the series itself is so much more.
I wasn’t really grabbed by …
The New Adventures of Old Christine Season 1

The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 4: Sleepless
I mentioned before how certain episodes raise the bar to the point where the subsequent episode feels like a step down. While the last episode managed to subvert that fate, this one falls into it. It’s not bad, not by a long shot. On the contrary, …

Dancing with the Stars - Elimination 3/24/09
The elimination show for Dancing with the Stars began with a recap of the night before. All the expected highlights were there, leaving me equally frustrated with the judges’ votes as I had been on Monday.
The stun of the night came with less than ten minutes into the …
The Simpsons: How the Test Was Won
I have been watching the Simpsons for years and I have to say last night’s re-run “How the Test was Won” had to be the funniest episode I have seen of this series; or at least among the funniest.

Katherine Langford, the woman who recruited Daniel Jackson for the Stargate program, is re-introduced in this episode. No, she is not played by the same woman but an equally talented one.

Hustle Season 2
I am writing this review on great BBC series Hustle Season 2. The main reason for writing this review is that this is unmatchable TV series and most of the people don’t know about it. The theme of the show is great and it’s about 5 people who find …
