Dragons Den - BBC TV Show
Dragons Den, a television show that took a little while to take off over here. Perhaps because of the “Dragons” involved, but also due to it only being broadcast at a more suitable time on a more mainstream channel in the last two years.

The Defenders: Pilot TV Show

Supernatural Season 4
I’ve been a die-hard fan of Supernatural for four years now, watching it religiously since it first started in 2005. It originally attracted me by offering several hour-long, semi-related horror stories. While the story has since deviated from the original premise, delving deeper into the characters’ lives over the …

M*A*S*H: Ping Pong
M*A*S*H: Ping Pong quite honestly isn’t one of my favorite shows, though it does have a couple of interesting elements to it. Overall, though, it was a little slow for me, even with the dramatic bits that were included in this half-hour episode.
There’s a beautiful Korean wedding that …

Fame: Reunions
Fame: Reunions begins with a really fun dance class segment where the group is dancing to an African beat and then the comic, Danny Amatullo (Carlo Imperato) slips and practically knocks down the entire class. I liked this opening bit quite a lot.
The title of the show relates …
Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files: Predator/Red Sky at Night TV Show
Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files: Predator/Red Sky at Night was the fourth show in this new series that airs on Syfy. Now this show is a little like the History Channel’s “Chasing Mummies” in that it’s questionable just how accurate of a show it is.
When I watched the …

Stargate Atlantis: Brain Storm

Wagon Train: The Gus Morgan Story
Wagon Train: The Gus Morgan Story is not one of my favorites. It really never appealed to me. It bores me, to be honest. Peter Falk is the main star, playing Gus Morgan. Also appearing is Tommy Sands as Gus’ brother, Ethan Morgan. The …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Death Watch TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Death Watch, episode 9 from season 3, stars Richard Basehart as Admiral Harriman Nelson and David Hedison as Captain Crane. Crane was always my favorite as I just adored Hedison. He certainly had the look, voice, and demeanor to …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 20 - Friends and Lovers
There are a couple of interesting points to Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 20 - Friends and Lovers that kept me viewing with anticipation.
First, there was another face off between Simon (Richard Dean Anderson) and Jack (Charles Frank) over Celia (Susan Dey). It’s such a twisted triangle that isn’t …

Friends: The One with the Cop
This is a show that occurs in the fifth season of the popular sitcom, and it is one of my favorities as it has a lot going on throughout the show and it definitely does not leave room for any boring parts.

The Twilight Zone: Long Live Walter Jameson TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Long Live Walter Jameson is one of the shows I really don’t like much. A big part of that is the primary guest star, Kevin McCarthy, who is one of those boring actors in my opinion. I realize he’s done a lot, but for …
Beverly Hills 90210
Beverly Hills 90210, the original not to be confused with the 2009 edition was something I watched for years and loved. In fact I was such a fan I watched all nine or so seasons until right up til the end.
I must admit my favourite seasons were the …

I love watching Beach Ball Babes on my local channel very much. Every week day, I watch with my sisters and boyfriend without fail. The story is more towards promoting the sport beach volleyball because in my country, it is not so popular at the moment, but …
The Two Coreys: Episode 1.4 - Surprise Party
Is it me or is it more than a coincidence that Corey Feldman receives the poster for his new movie, “The Birthday”, on Corey Haim’s 35th birthday? Hmm… Oh wait, this is reality television, everything is like 50% planned or something, right? So yeah, in that case, it does …

Sea Hunt: The Missing Link TV Show
Episode 33 of season 3 for Sea Hunt was a show called The Missing Link which aired in August 1960. For me, this presented something different that didn’t go over well with me. This concerned the character of Mike Nelson, which is always competently portrayed by actor …
Stargate SG-1: Ex Deux Machina
Stargate SG-1: Ex Deux Machina was a weird sort of season nine entry for the science fiction series. In fact, the ending is one of those things that people would ward off as being science fiction, so I guess in the end, it makes a weird sort of …

The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Dan Haggerty TV Show
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast continued with the Man of the Hour, Dan Haggerty, best known as Grizzley Adams. The dais featured a few performers known for playing similar outdoor characters along with the usual suspects of ridiculous ‘why bother’ comics.
To be honest, this was the most boring …
Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami
I watched the Kardashians on E! network and rather enjoyed the show because there are so many of them. I have also watched “Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami” and enjoyed it because these two are such characters. In any case, the show does not feature Kim (the …
Highway Patrol: Kidnap Copter TV Show

That Girl: Don and Sandy and Harry and Snoopy
That Girl: Don and Sandy and Harry and Snoopy introduces Don’s sister, Sandy, played by Cloris Leachman. That surprised me. I hadn’t thought of Cloris as being the Hollinger type. She was quite bubbly here, playing a widow who had found a new romance with an …
Stargate SG-1: 48 Hours
I do enjoy Stargate SG-1: 48 Hours, but it’s one more Earth-based story, and it’s yet another one where the team is divided up. One misses the vintage years when SG-1 went exploring, and they were truly a team.
Here, Teal’c finally gets his revenge. Let’s all cheer! …
Due South: Heaven and Earth
Due South: Heaven and Earth brings the psychic realm into focus after a man has a confusing dream about a medallion, a young woman, and a Canadian Mountie.

The Twilight Zone: King Nine Will Not Return TV Show
Written by Rod Serling, I felt that The Twilight Zone: King Nine Will Not Return, which was this first show of the second season, was weak. It was bland and has always left me feeling disconnected and uninvolved. Even though there is that moment of ‘oh …

The New Adventures Of Old Christine
I’m always willing to give new shows a chance especially when the shows I love are in reruns or have been replaced with shows I don’t like. One of these was the case with The New Adventures of Old Christine. The ads that were run from the show took …
Highway Patrol: Express Delivery TV Show
From season 4, episode 34 of the half hour police drama Highway Patrol was called Express Delivery. It was another outing that focused on a gem courier. I’d say this series did at least one of those per season, so they had to rely on presentation in …
