Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 2.1: Samson and Delilah
Season 2 opens with a megabang and doesn’t let up until the final closing minutes. Picking up right after “What He Beheld”, the Season 1 finale, “Samson and Delilah” takes a page from “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines” with the good robot unintentionally gone bad. Sarkissian’s men attack …

Here Come the Brides: Letter of the Law

FOX Channel
FOX is one the channels we see the most at our house.
The truth is that with the filth that is television today, getting a package that incorporates new pay channels including the Fox channel is a good start.

Sea Hunt: The Defector TV Show
The 16th episode of the fourth season of the underwater series Sea Hunt was called The Defector, and it’s actually one of the spy type ones I like. Normally, the mission and espionage type of outings aren’t my favorites, and there are way too many of them on …
Ashes to Ashes
There’s a TV series that has been taking the UK by storm and, if you live outside the UK, it’s quite possible that the BBC will export it to your country. It’s called Ashes to ashes and is a sequel to the series Life on Mars.
The story in both …

In an clash of beliefs and a clash of dreams meet reality in one definite boom. Tell me this, young star which the heavens so openly embrace in their omnipresence of existence, why must man fight among themselves and why must we hold such an doubt when an lie …
Mine Your Own Business
I’m still watching Scooby Doo Where Are You episodes with my daughter and got to see one I honestly haven’t ever seen before “Mine Your Own Business.”
This one turned out to be halfway decent. The gang is driving someplace (I didn’t catch where when they said it) and, because …
TVB Series: Burning Flame 3 (Actors)
Kevin Cheng —“ He can take on any role that has to wear a uniform. He looks too good in it. He played very well as a boss. The tone of voice, poise, and confidence was all there. What I like about Kevin is that …
That Girl: Stocks and the Single Girl
Overall, I enjoyed That Girl: Stocks and the Single Girl from season four of this hit ABC series. It had some great laughs in it, and it entertained me fully for the full half-hour or so. That said, while this is a different take on the rich …
The Langoliers TV miniseries
I have to admit, although Stephen King is a favorite writer of mine, I have not read every single one of his books. One that I somehow missed was “The Langoliers.” I think I read the synopsis and for some reason couldn’t get sold on the idea.
I …

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Beauty and the Beasts

M*A*S*H: Quo Vadis, Captain Chandler
M*A*S*H: Quo Vadis, Captain Chandler is a bit of an off-kilter episode for me. It’s never been one that I enjoyed all that much. Alan Fudge guest stars as Captain Chandler, an injured soldier who believes he’s Christ. Most of what happens stems from this plot …
Penny Dreadful (2014 supernatural horror television series)
I’m someone who has always been fascinated with supernatural movies and series, so as soon as I heard about the Showtime original series Penny Dreadful, I could tell that it would be something I might be interested in watching. The clips that I’d seen of it only made me even …
Ghost Hunters Season 1
OK, my wife and I just finished watching the last two episodes of the first season of the show Ghost Hunters. Rather than reviewing those, I figured I would take a minute to recap what I thought of the entire season. And, unfortunately, the answer to that is “not …
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 …
Due South: Say Amen
Due South: Say Amen is a story that has been done before, in western genres and all other types of dramas. That said, it’s still fairly well done and is entertaining.
The one thing that really makes no sense, though, concerns the character of Inspector Meg Thatcher. We …

Tom and Jerry: - ep: Salt Water Tabby
I don’t think Tom and jerry would ever get old and with so many episodes depicting different backgrounds yet keeping the classic chase. They did wonderfully. One of these episodes which features a different background from the usual house or back yard is called Salt Water Tabby.
The Salt Water …

Psych TV Episode: Disco Didn’t Die. It Was Murdered

Family Guy: Dammit Janet
I only got to see bits and pieces of the Family Guy episode Dammit Janet. But, from what I saw of it, it wasn’t too bad.
Basically, the episode has Peter convince Lois to become a stewardesss so he can secretly travel around the world for free behind her back. …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Love of a Bad Woman TV Show
Love of a Bad Woman is the 28th episode of Have Gun - Will Travel’s third season and it has a fun opening with Paladin playing chess. I really like these scenes of San Francisco life more than I do the gunfighter stories much of the time. …
Gilmore Girls TV show
This show is full of quick, snappy dialogue with many references to literature and pop culture. It is about the relationship between Lorelai Gilmore and her daughter Rory. The show began with Rory’s entrance to Chilton high school, and progressed from there to Rory entering Yale University.
The two live …
Gravity Falls (Cartoon series)
I only watched this show because my friend asked me to. I admit that it is rare for me to watch stuff like this but…This here, right here, Gravity Falls sure is good.
The animation for this cartoon is good and it really kept my eyes on screen since sometimes, there …
CHiPs: Pressure Point
Jon and Ponch (Larry Wilcox and Erik Estrada) end up on a special detail in CHiPs: Pressure Point from season two. The story evolves around the wealthy Arthur Forbinger, played with gusting exuberance by Rudy Vallee. Nothing Vallee does is low key, regardless of storyline. He …
The New Scooby Doo Movies TV Episode: The Haunted Showboat
As I think I mentioned a little while ago, my daughter was watching older cartoons on TV this past weekend and I had an opportunity to watch some of them with her.
One of the ones that really stuck out in my head was an old re-run of the show …
Lemmy Kilmister Documentary
On VH1 Classic they had a really good documetnary on the legendary Lemmy Kilmister, the bassist and vocalist for Motorhead. The movie was like an insight of his life as a rock god. It seems as he lives a very modest life for a 63 year old rockstar. …

MacGyver: The Endangered
It’s another animal story, and that means I’m closing my eyes. This was the year of the message show for MacGyver with numerous shows dealing with environmental and animal welfare issues. I wouldn’t mind them except that I can’t stand to see or hear even a hint …
Bones: The Passenger in the Oven
Well, after some boring episodes of Bones this season, I have to admit last night’s episode “The Passenger in the Oven” was pretty cool.
First, you have Booth and Bones on a plane to China when a body is discovered in the plane’s microwave oven. Pretty cool. I especially like …
Fox News Channel
With the multiple news channels that we have access to in the United States, we all have to make choices about what channels we watch. I think that Fox News is the best choice among American news channels. This is for many reasons.
First of all, its slogan …
Simpsons: Homer’s Barbershop Quartet
I saw a Simpson’s episode I haven’t seen in a while “Homer’s Barbershop Quartet” and it is as good as I remember it.
For those who haven’t seen this episode (or maybe don’t remember it), it talks about a time in Homer’s past when he, Principal Skinner, Apu and Barney …
Highway Patrol: Nitro TV Show
Highway Patrol: Nitro is in my mind one of the worst outings for this series, but let me start with a humorous part of it.
The funniest thing about this show was a couple of lines between two men who are transporting nitroglycerin. The one man tells the other …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Blow Up TV Show
From December 1967, the 12th show of its fourth year, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Blow Up has a new twist for the viewers to enjoy. It’s not exactly the typical ‘body take over’ theme that is so popular in science fiction shows, but it’s more …
Full Metal Alchemist (animated series)
I had delayed watching this animated series for some time despite what some of my friends had said about it because I just didn’t think that I would understand or enjoy it. Part of that stemmed from bad experiences watching some fantasy animation over the years, where I would …

Bones TV Episode: The Woman in the Sand

That 70s Show: Series Finale

Since the show takes place …
