Buffy the Vampire Slayer: When She Was Bad
I finally got a chance to start season 2 of the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer, starting with the first episode “When She was Bad.” And, I have to say this episode was pretty good.
One of my biggest complaints about the series is they never show the traumatic …
The Lazarus Man: The Journal
The Lazarus Man: The Journal is episode 12 of this series that takes place in the west in 1866. The show stars the charming and talented Robert Urich, though in this show I don’t think much of the charm gets to come out. He’s just too …

The Two Coreys: Episode 2.8 - Intervention
It’s official, I absolutely love the second season. Season 2 of “The Two Coreys” is to Season 1 what “The Godfather, Part II” is to “The Godfather”. The title of this episode, “Intervention”, is exactly what it’s about. This one delves deep into Corey Haim who finds himself in …

Ghost Hunters International
Last night was the first time I actually took some time to watch the show Ghost Hunters International with my wife. Overall, it wasn’t a terrible program. But, I’m not sure if it was as good as I expected it to be.
I’ve watched the American version of the show …
Whoopi: Don’t Hide Love TV Show
In the course of her 2003-2004 situation comedy TV series, Whoopi Goldberg tackled so many topics of the day. It’s amazing what she managed to work into the humorous plot of the week. What I’ve noticed is that the political shows actually have the most laughing out …
Wagon Train: The Kitty Angel Story
From the second season of Wagon Train comes The Kitty Angel Story, and it’s a good one. It’s actually the fourteenth episode and it stars Anne Baxter as Kitty Angel. She’s awesome. She just lured me into this story like mad. You can tell quality …

Star Trek: Arena TV Show
Star Trek: Arena is another solid show that is so enjoyable to watch. I’ve always remembered this show. Okay, well, as a Trekker, I remember them all as I’ve seen them all more times than I can count. However, this one sticks in the mind more …
Rock of Love Charm School TV Series
One of the VH1 reality series I am currently hooked on is the television series “Rock of Love Charm School” hosted by the crowned King of Heavy Metal’s wife, Sharon Osbourne. If you have ever watched the series “Rock of Love” and “Rock of Love 2″ where lots of …
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. …
The Girls Next Door (tv show)
The Girls Next Door is on E, and its about Hugh Heffner and his three girlfriends, with whom he is currently residing. The show is on religiously Sunday evenings, either airing at nine or ten o’clock, EST. Although I thought the program sounded like it would be …
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 …
Sea Hunt: Sonar Story TV Show
This particular show, Sonar Story, the tenth outing of the adventure series’ fourth season, felt very slow and dull to me. So much of it was underwater, but it wasn’t showing sea life or some natural phenomenon of the ocean; rather, it was Mike Nelson tracking down heroin …
CSI: Miami
I loved the original CSI, but CSI Miami is another matter. When I first saw the introduction of CSI Miami in one episode in CSI, I was intrigued because the architecture of their lab was really exceptional. The plot which intertwined the two series’ was done smoothly. When the …

NCIS: Untouchable Season 3, Episode 20
When NCIS goes looking for a mole in the Pentagon, they find a dead Lieutenant instead. All fingers point to the dead Lieutenant and her suicide, however, NCIS is not convinced it was a suicide.
This was a very interesting case and one that I could not figure out. …
Duck Dodgers season 1 episode 9: The Green Loontern
I’m a huge Green Lantern fan, so when I found out that an episode of “Duck Dodgers” (a show I’m also a fan of) crossed over and had Dodgers joining the Corps to battle Sinestro, I had to track it down. It was as geektastic as I hoped. …

The Prisoner: The Schizoid Man
The Prisoner: The Schizoid Man has an interesting premise. Patrick McGoohan’s Number Six character wakes up to discover he is now Number Twelve, complete with a mustache (which doesn’t suit him at all, I might add). This is followed by the news that he’s supposed to switch …
Home Improvement: Adios
Since there wasn’t anything really worth watching on TV yesterday afternoon, I ended up watching Home Improvement re-runs; including the one where Randy leaves the show to go to Costa Rica.
This was the first time I have seen this episode (though I have heard about it) and I have …
Full House Season 4
Full House Season 4 is almost when the show tried to “jump the shark”. Granted it was a transitional time for the show as the kids were starting to grow, but things were still a little odd.
Little Michelle was now a toddler, and fully capable of talking. The …
The Shining (Mini-Series)
Any fan of the original Shining movie will know Stephen King wasn’t best pleased with Kubrick’s adaptation, and in this mini-series, King has the chance to rectify those issues and bring in ignored elements of the book.
The story is the same, the Torrence family spend the winter in …
The Twilight Zone: Nightmare at 20,000 Feet TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Nightmare at 20,000 Feet is one of the classic episodes that people love to see. It’s an intriguing mystery that leaves you going ‘whoa’. The story surrounds Bob Wilson (William Shatner in his second Twilight Zone appearance), a man just recovered from a nervous …
Laramie: Edge of Evil TV Show
Alan Hale guest stars in Edge of Evil, from season four of the outstanding western TV series, Laramie. The robust Hale’s character appears jovial, but his Roger Canby persona is far from the hearty soul of the Skipper on Gilligan’s Island. However, Hale is the powerhouse of …
Out of This World: Playing with the Power TV Show
I very much enjoyed Out of This World: Playing with the Power. This was the second episode of the series, and it made me laugh, and I just had a good time watching it.
One of the good things about the show is that the very first scene with …
Thriller: God Grante That She Lye Stille TV Show
From season two of Thriller, viewers were presented an episode entitled, God Grante That She Lye Stille. It doesn’t come as any surprise that this black and white anthology series tale takes place back during the witch hunts of the late 1600’s. In fact, it opens with …
Babylon 5: Season 1, Episode 2: Midnight on the Firing Line
A Centauri colony is attacked and it is up to the crew of Babylon 5 to figure out who is responsible and avoiding another war.
This episode acted as a nice follow up to the pilot. While the first episode had a fairly heavy plot, this one did …
Checkmate: Terror in the East TV Show
Checkmate: Terror in the East is the fourteenth episode of this series about a private detective agency. The story opens in the Middle East, and I was leery from the get go. I normally don’t like Asian focused plots. Ultimately, Chinatown is involved.
Early on, though, I …
Stargate Atlantis: Inquisition
The 13th show of the last season, Stargate Atlantis: Inquisition is what is known in the business as the clips show. It’s sole purpose is to keep costs down. One episode a year is devoted to this economic episode. Whatever cast is used is often minimal …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Man of Many Faces TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Man of Many Faces, episode 6 of season 4, and begins with a shocker. Well, for those who fall for these sort of things, anyway. We’re at a press conference where Dr. Randolph Mason claims that Admiral Nelson is opposed …
Mythbusters: Duct Tape Hour 2 TV Show
Duct Tape Hour 2 aka: a Buster’s Cut episode of Mythbusters was terrific to watch. I still love the first hour, which came from curiosity of which MacGyver tricks might actually have worked, was a load of fun. They built a boat and lifted up a car …
BIg Brother All Stars TV show
Big Brother All Stars! One of the most addicting shows I have ever watched. Ok I admit it I have been a fan since the 2nd season when Will the doctor one. And have been watching it since. I admit I have not actually watched EVERY episode, but I …
Justice League Unlimited Season One: Question Authority
“Question Authority” is the 21st episode of season one of Justice League Unlimited. This was a good episode featuring the Question, one of the more interesting and underused members of the Justice League. The episode also features a lot of Superman and Huntress, and continues the trend …

Pokemon (TV Show) - Ash Catches a Pokemon (Episode)
“Ash Catches a Pokémon” is the third episode of the “Pokemon” television series and this episode is one that does a good job of showing off the dynamic that quickly begins to build between the Ash and Misty characters. This is the first episode where Ash and Misty actually …
Commander in Chief Television programme
Geena Davis was born to play the US President in ‘Commander in Chief’. Apart from maybe Thelma in ‘Thelma and Louise’, this is the best role she’s ever had. I’m not normally a fan of political programmes, but this one is accessible and understandable for the viewer, …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: To the Chicago Abyss TV Show
From 1989, The Ray Bradbury Theater: To the Chicago Abyss concerns some future era when times are tough and food is precious. In fact, apparently very few are left who remember how life used to be, when everyone could go where they wanted and each fruits and vegetables.
I …
Dancing with the Stars - Australia - Week 2 TV Show
After watching the premier of the tenth season of Australia’s Dancing with the Stars last week, I decided to tune in again. I really enjoyed what I saw, especially with the music and outfits, so wanted to check it out again.
Here are my observations, good and bad, and …
M*A*S*H: An Eye for a Tooth
I have to admit I really get a kick out of M*A*S*H: An Eye for a Tooth from season seven. It’s a show that focuses on humor via some practical jokes. Unlike some other episodes which have had prankster storylines that were over-the-job and almost boring, this …
USA’s “Covert Affairs” pilot episode
The summer definitely leaves me with too much free time on my hands: this results in checking out TV show I certainly would pass over otherwise, including the new USA offering, spy action drama and romance show, entitled “Covert Affairs”. The title plays on the importance of the sex …
ICarly TV Episode: I Go To Space
I was flipping channels yesterday afternoon and my daughter remembered seeing a commercial for a new ICarly episode; I Go To Space. I’m not a huge fan of the show, but there wasn’t much else on so I let her watch it.
Overall, it wasn’t too bad.
I don’t watch the …
