Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 12 - The Rescue
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 12 - The Rescue is what it says, the rescue of Glenn Matthews (Andrew Stevens) and Hilary Adams (Sela Ward) whose plane had gone down, stranding them on a beach somewhere where, yes, the ‘nasty’ happens. Glenn has no backbone, that’s for sure. …
The Wendy Williams Television Talk Show
In a time when everyone from D-list celebrities to former supermodels has their own television talk shows, I find “The Wendy Williams Show” to be extremely refreshing. Every aspect of the show is fabulous- from its larger than life host Wendy Williams to the outrageous and super flamboyant …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Farmer Takes a Wife TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: The Farmer Takes a Wife presents Andy and Barney with the task of helping ‘Big’ Jeff Pruitt find himself a bride, something he is anxious to do. Naturally, Jeff is pretty outlandish and finding a woman to be his wife isn’t going to be …

Trick Shot Showdown was the 7th episode to air of the Top Shot competition series that pits top gun and rifle shooters against one another. They accomplish this by first having a team competition — blue team versus the red team. Now in my view, the blue …
Johnny Bravo
The show “Johnny Bravo” was one of my favorite shows on Cartoon Network in the late 90s and early 2000s. In fact, I liked it better than the shows “Cow and Chicken” and “Dexter’s Laboratory” which were also popular shows which aired around that time on Cartoon Network. I …
NCIS: Dead Man Talking
“Dead Man Talking” was definitely one of my favorite NCIS episodes of Season one. It had humor, lots of emotion and a difficult case since one of their own had been murdered.
In the previous episode, “UnSEALed”, we saw one of the agents (not on Gibbs’ team) try to …
Gilligan’s Island - Court Martial TV Show
This episode kind of burns me up. The Navy, where the Skipper chooses to involve himself in for most of his life, blames the Skipper for the Minnow accident. So in this episode the Skipper is mainly the depressed one instead of Gilligan. He gets so depressed he wants to …
Lost Treasure of the Grand Canyon

Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends
It used to be I would only tune into Cartoon Network for their Adult Swim line up after 9:30 at night. Now, I’m watching almost all the time in no small part to their show Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends.
Centering around a foster home for abandoned imaginary friends, the …
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Seven Keys to Singapore: Part 1
Bring ‘Em Back Alive was a story based very loosely on big game hunter, Frank Buck. The goal was not to kill the prey, but to bring ‘em back alive, to zoos and such. The show starred Bruce Boxleitner, Cindy Morgan, Clyde Kusatsu, and Ron Neal.
My impressions …
Fearne and Paris Hilton
Fearne and—¦.Paris Hilton is an episode of Fearne Cotton’s new show where she spends some time with a different —˜it’ girl in every show. Fearne is a down to earth British DJ and television presenter and you would expect her to be quite straight talking about the subjects …
The Office: Did I Stutter
Stanly is rarely given much to do on The Office. In many episodes he seems to only be there so Michal can be racially insensitive, but the actor is very funny and it’s good to see an episode where he has more to do.
In this episode, Stanly disrespects Michal …
Gundam 00 As Sunrise’s Breakthrough
Gundam 00 is probably the best in the gundam series franchise.

The Fall Guy: Ready, Aim, Die TV Show
The beginning of The Fall Guy: Ready, Aim, Die is very frustrating. Mostly it’s because I just can’t stand Doug Barr’s Howie Munson character. He’s just so dumb and shallow all the time. Everything about what happens in the opening scene drives me nuts.
Now that’s heightened …
The Simpsons: King of the Hill
I’ve seen the Simpsons episode King of the Hill several times and it never fails to entertain me.
This is a very funny episode from beginning to end.

Psych: Lassie did a bad thing
While I’m not as big of a fan as the show “Psych” as I used to be, mostly because I really find it hard to believe everyone is still falling for the fake psychic routine, it does still manage to have the occassional good episode from time to time. …
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 …

Lee Nelsons Well Good Show BBC3
A couple of months ago I saw an advert for a new t.v show. It was Lee Nelsons Well Good Show. It was to be shown on BBC3 and my initial impressions, without even watching the show was that it looked like a complete waste of time. A man …
M*A*S*H: Showtime
During a performance by a visiting troupe in M*A*S*H: Showtime, little tidbits of story are shown. There’s really no sense to it that I could figure out, but the story segues from a few seconds of a performance to a scene of something that’s happened in the compound. …

Criminal Minds —“ Season One —“ Episode Five —“ Broken Mirror
A kidnapping case. It showed how the team handles kidnappings and ransom demands. Since the kidnapped girl had a twin, there was also an interesting little twist about twin interaction and feeling things the other is feeling. Each episode I learn something interesting about Dr. Reid. This episode I …
Dollhouse
Dollhouse is a television show that aired on Fox. At first I wasn’t too interested in the show, it seemed too scientific and filled with jargon. The basic premise being people sign their lives over to a corporation for five years and in that five years their …
Doctor Who: Season 3, Episode 11: Blink
Much like “Love and Monsters”, this is an episode where the Doctor only plays a peripheral role. Unlike the aforementioned episode, this is one of the more highly regarded in the series. I had high hopes for this episode as it is often cited as one of …
Columbo: Death Lends a Hand TV Show
I have to say truthfully that the absolute best scene from Columbo’s Death Lends a Hand was the very last one. There was this super conversation between Columbo and the father of the murder victim. In that talk, the police lieutenant reveals his mischievous past and his …
The Twilight Zone: People Are Alike All Over TV Show
The Twilight Zone: People Are Alike All Over is an intriguing episode that always fascinates me no matter how many times I see it, and I’ve seen it a bunch over the years. Roddy McDowall is the main guest star and that’s probably a good reason why the …
That 70s Show: Love of My Life
I can’t remember if I have reviewed the That 70s Show episode Love of My Life before. If I have, I’m sorry. But, I saw it again last night and still think it is one of the funnier episodes from the series; at least the very end of the …
What’s New Scooby Doo TV Episode: Farmed and Dangerous
I was up kind of early yesterday morning because our youngest daughter didn’t want to sleep. So, I ended up flipping channels and, since there wasn’t anything else on at the time, I ended up watching an episode of What’s New Scooby Doo with her; Farmed and Dangerous.
I think …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 14 - The Assignment
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 14 - The Assignment takes a bit of a tragic turn for my favorite, Lt. Simon Adams (Richard Dean Anderson). There’s some fun moments early on, but then something happens that disturbs him greatly, so much so that he is given a ten-day leave.
Back …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Replacement
Every once in a while, I’ll come across a Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode that uses a concept that has been done maybe a dozen times in various other shows and cartoons. The Replacement is one of those episodes.
Once again, the series decides to focus on one of the …
Sliders Complete First and Second Seasons
There was a time when Sliders was one of my favorite shows on television. A unique science fiction television series, it highlighted the adventures of four travelers as they “slid” between parallel dimensions, trying desperately to find their way home.
These first two seasons are the highpoint of the …

Ghost Hunters: Toys of Terror

Parental Control
I came home tonight and my wife had MTV on. I haven’t been on that channel in a while but did get to see a show I’ve never seen before “Parental Control.”

M.A.N Reality Dating Television Show
Of all the shows that air, weather international or local, the concept behind M.A.N is one that I could have never thought about myself and something so fresh that it became an instant hit with me, before the very first episode even aired, as I had caught glimpses of …
Phineas and Ferb cartoon show on Disney Channel

Laramie: The Mountain Men TV Show
Dan Duryea is back in Laramie: The Mountain Men, and this isn’t one of the roles I prefer to see him in. He did several episodes of this series, though, including the very first episode, Stage Stop. Here he is Ben Sanford, the father of the mountain …
