Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style
Ok, when I saw a show that starred Tim Gunn, I figured maybe there was something different on television. I was seriously wrong.
Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style, while admittedly sometimes entertaining, is nothing more than a rehashed version of every other makeover show on television.
Let me summarize ‘Well, Mrs. …
Quantum Leap: season one “The Right Hand of God” television show
Quantum Leap is a science fiction series that aired in the 1980s to early 1990s. Each story stands alone, there is very little arc. The premise of the series is that a scientific experiment has propelled the soul/person of a scientist into the bodies of other people …
TruTv All Worked Up
After watching the premiere episodes of “All Worked Up” via TruTv; I have to say that my stomach stirred from receiving a bad case of “Operation Repo”.
Was it me or did this show stink of “Operation Repo” nonsense? First, either the respondents were horrible F rated actors or normal …
Models of the Runway: Frenemies
So much for a modeling competition without major drama. This week’s episode starts out where last week’s ended; two models at each others throats because one overreacted when she lost her designer and another one over reacted when the first one got mad at her for not keeping her …
The Twilight Zone television series
Every new years eve, there is a “Twilight Zone” series marathon on the SciFi channel. This was how I managed to watch many of the episodes of the “Twilight Zone” as before I began to watch the SciFi channel I had neither seen nor heard of it.
There are …
Emperor’s New School: A Giftmas Story
We spent a great deal of time watching Christmas episodes of various shows last week; including the one on Emperor’s New School: A Giftmas Story.
This one actually proved to be one of the funnier ones.
Since this show takes place in a part of the world that hadn’t discovered Jesus …
Justice League Unlimited Season One: Hawk and Dove
The episode “Hawk and Dove” was one of the worst episodes of the first season of Justice League Unlimited. Even Wonder Woman cannot save this episode full of cliches and generalizations.
The plot involves an armed conflict between two sides in some South American country. You do not …
Project Runway: Sequins Feathers & Fur, Oh My!
Hmm, I’m starting to think this season’s designers on Project Runway aren’t even close to being as good as designers from previous seasons.
Last night, they had a chance to really show off what they can do with really no limits as they were designing a stage outfit for Christina …

Fat Albert TV Episode: Tomboy
I recently introduced my daughter to the 1970s cartoon show Fat Albert and she has been watching episodes of it (on DVD) every day since.

Uefa Champions League Magazine Television Show
With interest in the Uefa Champions League touching all corners of the earth, a weekly show like the Uefa Champions League Magazine, which rounds up all the previous week’s exploits is a welcome necessity for me, and something that has become a huge part of my football lifestyle.
I think …
Outlaw: In Re: Tracy Vidalin TV Show
Outlaw: In Re: Tracy Vidalin gave Jimmy Smits’ character of ex Supreme Court Justice Cyrus Garza a bit of unexpected drama to tackle. This story includes a twist towards the end that some might see coming early on, but others will be surprised at. It is one …
John Adams: Independence TV Show
Independence was episode 2 or 7 for the HBO mini-series, John Adams, which aired in March 2008. It has a grizzly beginning and that’s the type of thing I’m not fond of. Things heat up in Congress, though, was John Adams now participates in. This is …
Celebrity Ghost Stories (TV series)
I generally find some reality television series about supposed real life hauntings to be addictive. For example, I loved watching the television series “Ghost Hunters” when my time wasn’t so limited and when it would air regularly on the cable television channel Syfy. I also liked watching series such …
The 100 - TV Show (2014)
‘The 100′ is a relatively new show, having premiered earlier this year. It’s already into it’s second season and it is definitely an interesting show. The concept of the show was developed from the first book (The 100) of a series written by Kass Morgan. I watch alot of TV …
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Winter Roses TV show
I’m conflicted about Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Winter Roses. While it’s a wonderful story of love and has superb drama and angst, I just regret the choice made to end the episode. I wasn’t surprised back in 1983 when I first saw it, but I felt …
Friends TV show - The one where Joey tells Rachel

The Virginian: Riff-Raff
The Virginian: Riff-Raff was half drama and half comedy. It guess starred Ray Danton and Don Durant, who both had some funny moments, but the real smiles came with Karl Swenson as Teddy Roosevelt. This was Teddy beginning his Rough Riders. In a comedy of …
Ghost Adventures TV Series
“Ghost Adventures” is a television series that airs from time to time on the American cable telvision channel the “Travel” Channel. I’m not exactly sure when the episodes air either, but I know there usually is a couple of them going on on Friday nights. I’ve never really followed …
The Mrs. Bradley Mysteries: Laurels Are Poison
The Mrs. Bradley Mysteries continue with a murder mystery called Laurels Are Poison. The beautiful and alluring Diana Rigg stars as Adela Bradley, and believe me, there is nothing conventional about her. Adela is as out there as a woman could be in the early 1900’s and …

Inevitably many weddings have mishaps. This show aims to showacse all the falling down kids, missed rings and fainting spells that happen during weddings. This is a funny show to watch, kind of like Americans funniest home videos with an only wedding theme. It comes on TLC on saturday …

Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the French Interpreter TV Show
I have so very much enjoyed the handful of 1954-1955 episodes of Sherlock Holmes that I’ve seen. This TV series starred Ronald Howard as the famous detective. I really like his smooth portrayal of Holmes. This specific entry is the 14th episode of the series and …
Stargate SG-1: Tin Man
I really enjoy this season one entry. Stargate SG-1: Tin Man is a bit of fun for me. Our team is cloned, well, actually, they become synthetic copies of themselves, and the process of them finding that out and dealing with their emotions is just awesome.
Richard Dean …
Sea Hunt: Decoy TV Show
Sea Hunt: Decoy was interesting because of how the story evolved. This story revolves around a deep sea diving expert, Mike Nelson, who is portrayed by Lloyd Bridges. He had to be in good shape since he’s in swim trunks and bare chested so much of the …
Batman: The Brave and the Bold: The eyes of Despero
This is one of the highlights of the series. It has that perfect blend of light hearted humor, silver age wackiness, and serious superheroism that makes any hero story worthwhile.
The galactic menace Despero seeks to take control of the corps and it’s up to Batman, Guy Gardner, G’nort, …
Space Balls the Animated Series
The other day, I was looking for movies on Netflix Instant Watch and came across Space Balls the animated series. Since I loved that movie, I figured I would take the time to watch the cartoon.
The cartoon wasn’t very good.
I don’t know what they did in other seasons (if …
Getting On (BBC4)
Comediennes Jo Brand, and the lesser known Jo Scanlan and Vicki Pepperdine bring us a satirical look at the day to day workings of a modern NHS hospital.
It’s a strange show to first get into, using mainly ad-libbed dialogue and some camera work you’d expect from the likes …
Supernatural show
This show stars Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki who play the roles of Dean Winchester and Sam Winchester respectively. They are two brothers who hunt demons. Dean is a character who is easy to fall in love with. He is humorous even when he doesn’t intend to be! Sam …
The X-Files: Season 1, Episode 8: Ice
This is regarded as a classic episode, and that regard is well warranted. The episode does everything just about perfectly. It builds up tension and suspense, gives the characters a unique adversary, and allows the characters to really shine as they are pushed to the edge by …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Wager
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Wager is a second season episode from this half-hour series that starred Richard Boone as the gunfighter, Paladin. Though the performers are very good, I actually didn’t enjoy this episode very much, and there’s one big reason for that. Overacting.
Boone is …
Dead Like Me
I’d forgotten how much I liked this show until I saw it on the DVD racks at FutureShop. I asked for the DVDs for Christmas, and I was definitely right in remembering how good this show is/was. It’s too bad that there were only two seasons, although there is …
The Andy Griffith Show: Barney and Thelma Lou, Phfftt TV Show
It’s a show about romance and misunderstandings, along with Barney’s normal over confidence. That’s what The Andy Griffith Show: Barney and Thelma Lou, Phfftt from May 1964 deals with. I actually love the opening scene where Barney and Thelma Lou are window shopping, essentially talking about their …
Doctor Who: Season 4, Episode 14: Journey’s End
The two part finale wraps up as the team tries to stop the Daleks’ nefarious plan. Where the last episode had a lot of epic goings on with little room for character moments, this one is oddly quieter. It’s still heavy, but not in the same sense …
Mr. Monk and the Magician
There’s only a few more Monk episodes remaining before the show is permanently done. And, I think it is definitely about time. The episode “Mr. Monk and the Magician” is a good reason.
It was an interesting twist having Monk’s neighbor Kevin Dorfman being the murder victim this time around. …
Teach - Tony Danza: Tested TV Show
Teach - Tony Danza: Tested was the second show in this documentary series in which one time boxer turned actor and dancer Tony Danza is teaching English to a class of 10th grade students at Northeast High School in Philadelphia.
I remember hearing Danza talk about this before he actually …
Law and Order Criminal Intent/SVU
Above you will notice the names of two of the Law and Order series. Criminal Intent and SVU or Special Victims Unit. I know there is another one but I haven’t seen it in so long it’s not part of this review. In fact I have seen the Law …
Inspector Gadget (TV Show) - Winter Olympics (Episode)
“Winter Olympics” is the first episode of the “Inspector Gadget” television series. It’s interesting to watch this episode in part due to the changes that were made after it was produced, so there are some unique aspects that appear in this episode but not in the other episodes in …
Sanford & Son (TV sitcom)
If you were alive and kicking in the 1970s, you will certainly remember this show, featuring one of the grouchiest men of all time - Fred Sanford. I found this program really funny because it was set at a junkyard. That was a very different setting for …
Stargate SG-1: Past and Present
Talk about poorly placed timing, the powers that be at Stargate SG-1 made a very bad choice. My understanding is that the episode called Past and Present was supposed to be either earlier or later in the season. After being tossed around the season schedule, it had …
Criminal Minds: Exit Wounds TV Show
I’ve been watching Criminal Minds from the beginning, but I find that I am agreeing more and more with Mandy Patinkin who starred in this series originally and then left the show because it was too dark and upsetting. Sometimes I only half watch the shows which are …
