The Flintstones: Hot Lips Hannigan
As I mentioned before, I rented the first season of the Flintstones so my daughter could watch the cartoon for the first time. I loved the first episode of this. I wasn’t as big of a fan of the second episode; Hot Lips Hannigan.
For one, I’m not sure why …
Gilligan’s Island - Take a Dare TV Show
Here we have George Barkley rolled by Strother Martin introduced to the island. He actually plays a strong willed but passionate character. But he has downfalls of his own. Ginger actually picked up on one and another is greed. If Barkley would have worked with the Castaways instead of …
40 Hottest Hotties of the 90s (VH1 TV show)
This VH1 segment was really interesting. I love it when VH1 does shows that reminisce over the 1990s or 1980s. They always pick out the most hilarious aspects of pop culture. This segment focused on celebrities who were the hottest things in the 1990s. Topping …
ESPN First Take TV show
I recently began watching ESPN First Take, and I must say it is quickly becoming one of my favorite television programs to watch. Steven A. Smith and Skip Bayless make the show tick. They both provide unique commentary about the day’s most popular sports topics, and on occasion …
Greek: Season 2
I loved season two of the ABC Family television series “Greek” as much as I liked season one. Season two began in on August twenty six of last year 2008 with the episode entitled “Brothers and sisters”. I was looking forward to seeing this episode of Greek as …
The Fugitive: Man in a Chariot
The second season of The Fugitive began with a show entitled Man in a Chariot. It’s a powerful show that guest starred Ed Begley as a law professor with a huge chip on his shoulder, stemming from an accident that has left him in a wheelchair. Begley …
Fireball XL5: The Sun Temple
Fireball XL5: The Sun Temple aired in December 1962 for the first time, bringing us another adventure for Colonel Steve Zodiac and his XL5 crew.
One of the fun things about this episode is that Zoonie gets to go on XL5 and Venus tries to teach him more words. …
21 Jump Street: Best Years Of Your Life Season 2, Episode 20
“Best Years Of Your Life,” is a weird title for this episode about suicides, mainly teenage ones.
When Penhall and Hanson are undercover they arrest a young boy named Walker Stevenson. A few days later, after getting out of jail and talking to Hanson, Walker kills himself with a …
The Prisoner: Once Upon a Time
The Prisoner: Once Upon a Time is the second to the last episode of The Prisoner series. There were only 17 filmed. My understanding is that it was one of the most expensive shows to produce. I have no idea what its ratings were like and …
Fireball XL5: Space Vacation
Fireball XL5: Space Vacation had me chuckling at one of the opening scenes. When we first see the aliens, I thought one was the wife of the other. These guys were long robes, though they really looked like dresses and something about the hair just made me …
M*A*S*H: Give and Take
M*A*S*H: Give and Take has some intriguing story elements to it that hold the viewer interest and make this eleventh season episode worth watching. This is actually the second to the last episode, and I don’t think it’s an accident that they aired this show when they did.
The …
Pushing Daisies
First off, I just have to express my sincere sadness in knowing that this show has been cancelled in the middle of its second season.
This is a show unlike any other. Not only is it a feast for the eyes with his amazing color palette full of rich …
Hogan’s Heroes
Regardless of how much money networks spend trying to come up with new sitcoms to push on the average television viewer, I don’t think there will ever be a show that is as funny and classic as Hogan’s Heroes.
I’ve seen just about every episode of this show, which has …
CSI Season 5 Episode 6 What’s Eating Gilbert Grissom
It was a very strange episode, but I absolutely loved it. In addition to the great story and acting, of course, I also really enjoyed the artwork that they have shown in the episode. Usually, when filming a movie or a TV episode, the production does not focus …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Two: Squirrel Jokes
Mr. Krabs decides to put some light into the Krusty Krab by offering some comedy at night time. Since he doesn’t have a lot of acts, he makes Spongebob in charge of making a hit with the show. He feels like he is put on the spot and just …
DC Cupcakes: Pupcakes TV Show
DC Cupcakes: Pupcakes was the second outing for this series about a couple of sisters and their relatives who run a highly successful cupcake bakery in Washington D.C., specifically in the Georgetown segment.
The focus in this thirty minutes of cooking drama is on two things: the need to let …
Gilligan’s Island - High Man on the Totem Pole TV Show
This episode has quite a few ups and downs. Gilligan goes around all depressed through most of the episode. Actually its agonizing to watch him obsess what he thinks is his heritage, related to head hunters. And he deduces this solely on his resemblance to the likeness of the …
Wagon Train: The Fort Pierce Story
I love The Fort Pierce Story of Wagon Train because it guest stars Ann Blyth as Nancy Winter. She’s always been an actress I’ve enjoyed watching. Here, she plays Ronald Reagan’s wife, suffering with personal issues from living in a fort where she doesn’t have anyone to …
CSI
CSI without the Gil Grissom character just isn’t CSI, but the show is still plugging along. It’s not that it’s bad, it just lacks the zip and zest that Grissom injected into the action. Still, the March 5, 2009 episode called “Turn, Turn, Turn” was intriguing and …
Ghost Hunters: Beechwood Mansion and the Garden State
Yeah, I have to say I am now halfway through the second season of the show Ghost Hunters and am actually more disppointed in this one than I was in the first season. The episode “Beechwood Mansion and the Garden State” is a good example as to why.
Basically, you …
CHiPs: Name Your Price
In CHiPs: Name Your Price, Ponch (Erik Estrada) gets a chance to be on a game show that is something like The Price is Right. I don’t think I’m spoiling anything when I say that Ponch is right on for the entire show until he has to price …
The Dean Martin Show Classics: Volume 4 DVD
The Dean Martin Show Classics: Volume 4 has more fun from the classic The Dean Martin Show. I love going back in time to enjoy this musical variety show. One of my favorite moments is a singing segment with Dean and Petula Clark. They start out …
Monk TV Episode: Mr. Monk and the Sleeping Suspect
I got home from work last night and, since I was exhausted, sat down on the couch and began flipping through channels on TV. I came across an episode of the show Monk that I hadn’t seen before; Mr. Monk and the Sleeping Suspect, and decided to watch it.
This …
Sea Hunt: Asylum TV Show
In January 1960, Lloyd Bridges’ hit series, Sea Hunt, began its third season on the air with an episode entitled Asylum. My first thought was ‘oh, no - another spy show’. However, this one was very watchable. The show begins with Mike Nelson (Bridges) in Nassau …
Medium Season 4 Episode 16- Drowned World
This is the fourth season finale. I found this episode to be really sad. In this episode Alison is contacted by a lawyer who wants her to go to his house and calm down his wife. She had really loved that house and he went through a lot of trouble …
Dancing with the Stars - Australia - Week 3 TV Show
Week 3 of Dancing with the Stars - Australia began with a big of a joke when they introduced one of the bottom 2 from last week as Jason Stevens, who had actually been voted off last week. Some caught it, but I’m not sure every did. …
Criminal Minds: Penelope
I finally caught this episode on the ION Channel night before last. I missed it the first time it came on which really ticked me off. Which is funny, since I had never really watched Criminal Minds before. So why was I upset? It was …
Friends Episode: Phoebe’s Wedding
I love Friends Episode: Phoebe’s Wedding very much. Every wedding has their own religion and tradition, and I’m not caring about that in this episode. In fact, I am so in awe of Phoebe’s dress, she looks so gorgeous and the ideology that she just wants a nice …
Law & Order SVU TV Episode: Pop
I had intended on watching the newest Ghost Hunters International episode last night but, since there was a new Law & Order SVU on at the same time, I gave in to my wife’s wishes and watched that with her instead. Fortunately, the episode, entitled Pop, wasn’t too bad.
Basically, …
Shaw Digital Cable Service
We’ve been using Shaw Digital Cable service for a bout a year now, and we just switched to Telus, for several reasons.
We were unhappy with Shaw for quite some time, but the company we rent from doesn’t allow sattelite, so that left us with no options for cable service …
The Flintstones: Reel Trouble
I upgraded my Direct TV package yesterday and, as a result, was able to get a channel that was showing Flintstone’s cartoons. The one that was on last night was called Reel Trouble and was actually kind of cute.
Fred is obsessed with taking pictures of Pebbles so Wilma makes …

It’s the final ride for Bruce Campbell, Julius Carry, and Christian Clemenson as The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: High Treason: Part 2 concludes the single season run of this series. A mix of adventure, science fiction, action, drama, romance, and just about everything else, this TV program …
That 70s Show: Eric’s Burger Job
Well, that episode of “That 70s Show” was pretty decent; Eric’s Burger Job.
Basically, the episode has Eric getting a job at “Fatso Burger” working as a cashier and doing other crappy jobs around the restaurant. He does it to prove to Red he’s responsible and, even though he hates …
The Andy Griffith Show: Jailbreak TV Show
It’s another example of big city cops not trusting the little Mayberry sheriff’s office in this February 1962 episode of The Andy Griffith Show called Jailbreak. It’s also another use of the ‘Barney thinks he can do everything’ plot device. Combined, it leads to some good comedy, …
Banana Split sitcom
What separates Banana Split from other sitcoms in the Philippines is the number of girls (and how fresh they are) in the casting. Actually, Banana Split boasts of an all-girls cast which would keep your eyes glued to the television.
Girls seem to be a staple in every sitcom. …
Heroes Episode 4.1 and 2 Orientation/Jump, Push, Fall
I had fallen out of love with Heroes. The first season was quite good. The second season was slow for the first half, and while it started to pick up near the end, the writer’s strike broke the momentum and cut the season short. The third …
Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn: 9-14-10 TV Show
I like the laid back manner in which Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn is produced. Even though instructional cooking shows aren’t my thing, I find myself more curious than I would be normally because Lucuinda looks and sounds approachable. In this September 14, 2010 show, she …
Wife Swap
ABC presents Wife Swap on Monday nights usaully at nine o’clock. I am addicted. I admit it. Its a good show that requires two wives from differing states and homes to switch places. The idea is that both families will walk away appreciating their mom/wife …
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 …
NCIS TV series
NCIS is a show on CBS that—˜s a spin off of JAG. It’s one of those crime and forensic type show but it’s angle is military and naval related. NCIS stands for Naval Criminal Investigative Service. I have to admit that I really didn’t tune into this show until …

Austin Stevens:In Search of the Giant Anaconda

Prison Break Season 3 Episode 1- Orientaction
Prison Break Season 3 Episode 1- Orientaction
This is the episode that starts the new season of the amazing show Prison Break. Although it is still amazing, I have strong doubts about me enjoying it much. This time Michael Scofield is in prison again. Only this time it is not …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Puppet Show
OK, wooden puppets are a bit creepy and after the movie Child’s Play, any doll that can talk makes me a bit nervous. So, I liked the concept behind the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “The Puppet Show.”
The school puts on a talent show and Buffy and her friends …
Highway Patrol: Foster Child TV Show
Foster Child was the 19th episode of season three for the often dramatic TV series, Highway Patrol. From February 1958, this show follows a young boy through a very difficult day. The boy is playing with a friend next door, when that boy makes a tragic decision. …
The Phone show
I’m almost afraid to admit that I’ve been watching The Phone. After all, it’s on MTV and it’s from the mind of Justin Timberlake. Now that’s scary!
The Phone is an overly dramatic program that has made stunt people very happy. The stunt bill must be enormous for …
Highway Patrol: Retired Gangster TV Show
Retired Gangster, the eleventh episode of Highway Patrol’s premier season, has an interesting plot revolving around a one-time syndicate boss who is supposed to testify before the grand jury.

Gordon Wynn portrays …
CSI New York Season 4 Episode 18- Admissions
I love this episode, I could have never expected the answer that came at the end. I wonder if those things can actually happen in the real life and if they do happen, then it is kind of scary. And, of course, the creepy autopsy guy had managed …
