Have Gun - Will Travel: The Knight TV Show
From June 1962, the fifth season of this successful western series, Have Gun - Will Travel: The Knight was a somewhat odd show to me in the way that it played out. It opens with some fun in San Francisco, at the Hotel Carlton where Paladin (Richard Boone) …
House TV Episode: Carrot or Stick
Synopsis: House and his team must figure out what is causing a great deal of pain for a drill sergeant and later one of his cadets. In the mean time, House is working with Cuddy’s adopted daughter in an effort to help her prepare for a pre-school exam.
What I …
Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer: 9-15-10 TV Show
Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer from September 15, 2010 was another waste of time for me. This was just their third show, but again, I have to ask what the point is in watching two immature females trying to control the airwaves?
Alexis is this tall blonde who appears …
Seinfeld: The Comeback TV Show
I am not a fan of Seinfeld. To me, it’s one of the most boring comedies ever on TV. The only reason I watched The Comeback is because the IMDB lists one of my favorite actors as being on the show. He is on it, or …
The Simpsons Season 3
The third season of The Simpsons isn’t exactly the best season in the show’s history, but it’s far from the worst too. When you watch the earlier seasons now, it can sometimes be hard to compare the characters to how they look and sound now. That problem doesn’t appear …
Fringe : The Transformation
This could also be called Fringe, the Hulk because that is certainly what the beginning of this episode felt like. A disease had been given to several people, and while on a plane one of them is overcome by the disease turning into a large creature with long tentacle …
M*A*S*H: Comrades in Arms: Part 2
M*A*S*H: Comrades in Arms: Part 2 continues the story begun the week before when Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) and Margaret Houlihan (Loretta Swit) finally consummated their love-hate relationship amid being shot at away from the 4077th. It’s actually a pretty believable aftermath to everything that had transpired between …
Whoopi: Sins of the Sister TV Show
The Whoopi show’s last episode was Sins of the Sister, which aired on April 20, 2004. The show started out strong, but it had some mistakes in its makeup that made it more of an average comedy, and it just didn’t work in the long run. I …
Masquerade: Oil
Masquerade: Oil took us to Rome, the city of love, where the National Intelligence Agency operatives were trying to foil the villains of the piece. The villains are a bunch of Arabs who kidnapped Americans in Kuwait. They took the workers from an oil field and locked …
Babylon 5 Season 1, Episode 5: Infection TV show
Dr. Franklin’s mentor comes aboard. The reunion is tainted, however, when some ancient alien artifacts that he brought aboard come to life and takeover his assistant, who proceeds to go on a rampage, killing several people aboard the space station.
The plot is fairly simple, but it’s generally well …
The Twilight Zone: The Mighty Casey TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Mighty Casey is an okay episode, but not a huge favorite of mine. It revolves around a new player for a baseball team who is an incredibly powerful pitcher. This brings the team up in ability and allows them to start winning.
The new …
Big Brother: Power of Veto August 25, 2010 TV Show
The August 25, 2010 edition of the American version of Big Brother was the Power of Veto episode. Quite honestly, it was the competition that was the best part of the very long hour. The truth is that many of these shows could be shown in a …
Boston Legal Season 2 Episode 15
Alan Shore was consulted by a former friend Feliz about a possible legal action. Feliz had a daughter Melissa who can’t smile. She had nerve damage from a car accident. Melissa already underwent surgery in order to correct the problem but it didn’t work. She had a bad …
Hell Date (BET TV show)
I watched this show a little while ago and was kind of interested. At first I didn’t realize that it was actually a prank show. The daters (usually the women) are actually actresses hired by BET to make the dates unbearable. The dates can take all …
Black Gold: S3, Ep 7 TV Show
In this 7th show from Black Gold’s third season, the action is more political than black oil. It begins with tool pusher Jerry being hired for the supervisor position, something that the other tool pusher on Big Dog Rig 28 isn’t happy about. He gets hard on …
Night Gallery: Finnegan’s Flight TV Show
Rod Serling introduced this episode of Night Gallery by saying that he was considered to be the Howard Cosell of the crypt. That was an odd start, but it makes sense, in an odd way. Then we get to the evening’s entertainment, a half hour vehicle written …
Stargate SG1: 2001 Season 5, Episode 10
While SG1 is visiting a planet, the Voliaans introduce them to a neighboring race, the Aschen. Little do they know that the Aschen are the very same people their future selves had warned them about.
When SG1 arrives back at the SGC and tells General Hammond the good news, …
Doctor Who: Season 5, Episode 13: The Big Bang
Thus, the fifth season of Doctor Who reaches it’s end. This episode stands in a pretty stark contrast to the other finales. Where Davies kept wanting to escalate and make things more epic, this one is a bit more low key. I mean, sure, the universe …
Family Guy TV Episode: Quagmire’s Dad
After last night’s Simpson’s repeat, I left the TV on and started watching the Family Guy episode that was following it; Quagmire’s Dad. About 10 minutes into the episode, I realized it really wasn’t suitable for my daughter and sent her out of the room (I told her she …
Chasing Mummies: Bats TV Show
There was something amazing about watching Chasing Mummies in this latest Bats episode. It was relatively calm and peaceful. With two archaeological fellows, Lindsay and Zoe, now out of the picture, what viewers were treated to was a really intriguing look at Egypt and the pyramids.
Early on, …
Doctor Who: Season 2, Episode 8: The Idiot’s Lantern
This is probably the most lackluster Doctor Who episode to date. It had promise, but so much of it fell flat for me that it just wasn’t as enjoyable as the other episodes. The plot is similar to “Batman Forever”, but instead of the Riddler, it’s a …
The Trailer Park Boys Christmas Special
Christmas is coming up soon, and its time once again for Christmas specials. I noticed that this year the Trailer Park Boys is going to be releasing their Christmas Special on DVD.
I watched this last year with great anticipation. As any of you Trailer Park Boys fans …
The Great British Bake Off: S1, Ep6 TV Show
Being in the United States, for a while I wasn’t sure I was ever going to see the finale of The Great British Bake Off. I’d managed to get copies of the first five competitions, but that sixth was elusive until now.
This cooking competition series began with ten …
Swiffer Wet Mop/Duster (TV ad)
The song “Baby Come Back” is playing in the background in this series of commercials. In one, a woman is using the Swiffer—which happens to have its own squirting mechanism that helps to clean the floor much easier. But once the woman gets to a …
Mr. Monk Goes to Group Therapy
I’m a bit torn about tonight’s Monk episode “Mr. Monk Goes to Group Therapy.”
On one hand, the episode proved to be somewhat funny. Monk is no longer receiving insurance reimbursement for private therapy sessions and the only way he can continue to see his therapist is by joining a …
Kap’s Amazing Video
It is Sunday today, and as expected there are few tv shows that I am looking forward to watch. More often, I feel there is even nothing worth watching at all. My mom was browsing through the channels and well, she chanced upon the show in Channel 7, Kap’s …
Americas Most Smartest Model
My wife absolutely loves modeling contests on television. I’m not sure what she enjoys about them, but whenever a new one comes on, you can be sure we’re going to be watching it.
I personally find the competitions boring. You have a bunch of ex-models or designers judging wannabes that …
Are you Smarter than a 5th grader?
I think that Are you Smarter than a 5th grader is a pretty cool TV show. The idea is original and has never been done before. So this makes the show really cool in my eyes. I mean it’s funny to see 5th grader’s be able ot answer questions that …
Captain Planet
Captain Planet is an ok cartoon show. I don’t love this show yet I don’t hate it. I think the show could have been much better. But I think that Captain American could mop the floor with Captain Planet any day of the week. Now I think that Captain Planet …
Birds of Prey episode 9: Nature of the Beast
Reese’s father makes his return, this time played by Mitch Pileggi. The script hangs a pretty heavy lampshade on the fact that he’s played by a different person. Several characters comment on how different he looks and how he’s not the Hawk that they had known before. …
That Girl: Little Auction Annie
Michael Conrad guest stars on That Girl: Little Auction Annie. Conrad can be sinister and menacing, and he gives off a strange aura in this episode to add to the mystery. The mystery comes from a box of assumed junk that Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) buys at an …
Dirty Jobs (Discovery Channel TV show)
I happened to catch an episode of this show when the host teamed up with a group of pestilence control workers. These guys wore daunting looking black T-shirts and tackled the worst jobs you could think of. The episode I caught featured a home that was …
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 53 (Anime)
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 53 begins with the people of Central wondering what’s going on and if Mustang’s behind a coup d’état, Mustang’s men use this to their advantage, painting Mustang as a hero and have help from the media, who won’t miss out on this story. Meanwhile, …
30 Rock: The Aftermath
This was a definite improvement over the pilot. In this episode, they introduced all the writers, and while many of them feel like stereotypes that is the nature of new characters on TV it seems. You have to give people something to hang onto immediately and they all tend …
House : Skin Deep
This has got to be one of the best switches I have seen on “House” so far. The story involves a supermodel who punches out another model and then collapses on the catwalk. They discover heroin in her blood and so at first they assume it is that, and …
“Knight Rider” Knight and the City season 1 episode 16
Knight rider is a TV show about a car that has AI and can think by itself, the car with the driver Mike help people because they work for the private agency. It is quite an interesting show that I watch quite often because it is very simple and …
The Twilight Zone: An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge TV Show
After years upon years of watching The Twilight Zone, there are maybe two or three that don’t immediately pop out at me where I don’t instantly know the story when it comes on TV. An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge from season five is one of those. …
Beast Wars - The Trigger, Part 1
Beast Wars - The Trigger, Part 1 is a two part episode that continues the mysterious alien story arc that was first started in the episode, “Chain of Command”. In this episode, a strange floating island is discovered and on it, beauty as well as danger. Amidst the green …
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Blood Moon TV Show
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Blood Moon really should be the Halloween episode, and maybe it is. Either way, it is not an hour of fun for me. I am not into vampires, werewolves, and decapitations, all of which were vital parts of this show.
The teaser scene is …
Stargate SG1: Spirits
This episode starts out with General Hammond briefing SG1 about the mission that he sent SG11 on. They were sent to a planet to mine trinium and are 48 hours overdue. Just as they are through with the briefing, it is announced that SG11 is returning. …
DC Cupcakes: Greek Festival TV Show
DC Cupcakes: Greek Festival is the third episode of a new series on The Learning Channel, a channel I’d pretty much stopped watching considering their insistence on stuffing the Gosselins down America’s throat. However, I’m liking this show. Here are some highlights from my point of view.
–Sophie …
Star Trek: The Slaver Weapon TV Show
Star Trek: The Slaver Weapon is a December 1973 episode of the animated Star Trek series which featured the wonderful voices of just about the entire live action cast. This is one of the more serious shows in term of topic and tone. It all surrounds a …
M*A*S*H: No Laughing Matter
In M*A*S*H: No Laughing Matter, Major Charles Emerson Winchester III sees a chance to finally be transferred back to Tokyo when the colonel who sent him to the 4077th visits the camp. Robert Symonds returns as Colonel Horace Baldwin. The odd thing to me is that Baldwin …

That Girl: You Have to Know Someone to Be an Unknown was a nice edition of this freshman comedy series. Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) hears about a producer casting a show and wanting to hire an unknown. She’s absolutely positive that this role is for her and …
I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here — Week 2
I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here is airing on NBC four nights a week. I’ve watched about two-thirds of the shows, simply because there really isn’t much on opposite it. In my first review from the first night of this series, I reported that …

The Office Seasons 1 & 2
This is a great television show that I was turned on to by my sister who also likes the show. If you haven’t already heard about The Office, it’s a hysterical view of the Dunder Mifflin paper company. The head boss Michael Scott bases his work ethics on fun …
