Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Price of Doom TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Price of Doom, the fifth show of this successful sci fi series, opens with a blizzard in Antarctica. It also brings us our first real sea monster story, a device that would become more the norm than the unusual. …
Tru TV
Once upon a time, a cable channel took the world by storm. Court TV became a sensation, thanks to the OJ Simpson trial. Every day, Court TV was there with the proceedings. This was this banner — live action in courts all across America, with experienced …
Bones: The Man in the Morgue
I’ve never seen the full Bones episode “The Man in the Morgue” until last night and, after watching it, I think it is one of the better ones ever produced for a number of reasons.
First, you have the whole think taking place in New Orleans right after hurricane Katrina. …
Sea Hunt: Diplomatic Pouch TV Show
The 38th episode of Sea Hunt’s third season was another one of these political intrigue shows that I really don’t like very much. I so prefer the almost non-existent ocean life shows or even the episodes focused on technological advances over these small fabricated country tales. The …
A Jetson’s Christmas Carol
We’ve been watching a lot of Christmas specials on TV the past couple of days and came across one I hadn’t seen before; even though it has been out for some time.
At first, I thought A Jetson’s Christmas Carol would end up being a predictable and boring story. I …
Stargate Atlantis: Broken Ties
Stargate Atlantis: Broken Ties is the 3rd episode from the fifth and final season of this science fiction series, which I freely admit I really don’t like. This episode in particular I found to be very boring. It focuses somewhat on this Ronon character. He reminds …
House: Tyrant
Well, I have to admit, after watching last night’s House episode “Tyrant” I was left wondering whether or not the title really pertained to this week’s patient on the show or if it was talking more about the doctors who treated him.
First of all, I have to give a …
M*A*S*H: Dr. Winchester and Mr. Hyde
M*A*S*H: Dr. Winchester and Mr. Hyde is one of those shows that I want to like, but because I love animals I have a hard time really enjoying it. This is even though it all turns out okay. It’s just the thought that perturbs me.
The comedy portion …
Project Runway: Finale Part 1 TV Show
It’s a showdown between the final four to see which three will get to show at Fashion Week in the Part 1 edition of this season’s Project Runway Finale. We pretty much start with Tim Gunn making his pilgrimage to the homes of the designers to see how they …
Law and Order SVU Season 1 Episode 6 Sophmore Jinx
Law and Order SVU Season 1 Episode 6 Sophmore Jinx
I did not like this episode, because, first of all, I didn’t understand it. And secondly, I didn’t understand the point of having it at all. Eventually, the killer is discovered, the oldest story that happens in …
According to Jim Season 7 Episode 1
This starts out with a funny scene where Jim and his friend are watching the Superbowl, and Jim wants chips. He asks his friend if there’s anymore and is told that they’re out, but when he stands up to get more a lot of chips fall out of his …
John Doe: Idaho TV show
John Doe: Idaho is probably my favorite episode of this science fiction show thus far. Actually, the plot device used here is pretty much an easy to guess one, but it’s nicely done and you really aren’t sure until the story progresses quite a bit. Logic tells you …
Vampire Diaries show
Vampires seem to be all the rage these days. Starting with Twilight, there was this major trend toward literature, TV shows, and movies all about vampires. Stephanie Meyer started a crazy fad that has strangely held strong for awhile now. True Blood was HBO’s attempt to market the vampire …
Stargate SG1: Cor-Ai
When the team comes through the stargate and find the village empty, Teal’c realizes he has been here before as Apophis’ first prime. This world was a Goauld target for human hosts.
As the team enters a building, they are surrounded by villagers with weapons. Jack …
Bones: Death in the Saddle
When I first came across the Bones episode “Death in the Saddle” I figured it would involve a murder of some sort of horse enthusiast. Boy, was I surprised when it was an episode about a sexual fetish.
Now, I’m far from being a prude when it comes to sex, …
Inspector Gadget (TV Show) - Basic Training (Episode)
“Basic Training” is an episode from the “Inspector Gadget” television series. Inspector Gadget is presented with the task of safeguarding advanced computer parts that are contained within the cargo hold of a passenger train until they reach their destination. Dr. Claw however intends on hijacking the train and pilfering …
Stargate SG-1: Zero Hour
I’ve often felt that the powers that be at SG-1 started season eight with a few good shows and decided to use all of them, even if the timing didn’t necessarily make sense. This episode, Zero Hour, seems like it should have been the starter once Jack was …
The Cleveland Show
The Cleveland Show is a new series airing on Fox’s fall season 09. It features character Cleveland Brown from Family Guy. On the show he gets divorced from his beloved Loretta, and decides to pack up his son and move to California. On the way to California he stops …
Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmem
“Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmem” is a Travel Channel show I started watching close to a year ago. To be honest, there are times when I can barely stand to look at it, but, at the same time, it is just fascinating to me that this man will …
Louis and the Nazis (2003)
In one of his more recent films, Louis Theroux travels to America to investigate the Neo-Nazi movement. It’s one of his more daring and uncomfortable endeavours; opting for more head on investigation than the lighter distractions his Weird Weekend series had to offer, but all the same, Theroux carries …
CSI Season 5 Episode 18 Spark of Life
It was a very nice episode, although I feel it could have been better. There were some interesting twists of events, but for the most part of it I was a bit bored. It is not that the events of the episode did not matter, it was because there …
Cougartown
At first I didn’t like the series Cougartown. Basically it’s about a woman who has recently got a divorce, she is juggling her life which includes a kid, ex husband and friends that don’t get along and then to top it off she starts to date younger men. …
Smallville
Those of us who remember the original Superman TV Show of the 1950’s view Smallville in a different light than those who are not that knowledgeable about what happens to Clark when he grows up. But because it is true to the legend, I do enjoy it. For …
Good Eats
I just finished watching an episode of “Good Eats.” The episode was about making homemade bacon. The plot of this show was “Scrap Iron Chef” and the secret ingredient was Pork belly. Alton Brown competed against a midwest native to see who could make the best …
That Girl: That Shoplifter
You just have to feel for Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) in That Girl: That Shoplifter. She’s so innocent and naive sometimes. Of course, back in 1971 when this ABC hit comedy aired, things weren’t as jaded as they are today.
While working as a specials announcer at a …
Spongebob Squarepants TV
Hands down, Spongebob Squarepants is for me the funniest cartoon for kids and kids at heart. Its unique humor is something that not everybody appreciates, knowing a lot of articles written about it all over the web which are not favorable, but it is MY type of humor, so …
Family Guy 8×08: Dog Gone
Family Guy continues its eighth run with this Brian focused episode, “Dog Gone” a pretty standard tale of Brian at odds with the world that doesn’t really deliver too many laughs, but proves a funny enough outing in this largely mediocre eighth season.
When Brian hears his novel “Faster …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 8
The eighth episode of Emerald Point N.A.S. aired on November 14, 1983 and dealt with a lot of transitions, like Glenn moving forward after his court-martial conviction and Celia trying to decide what she wants to do with her life. Her separated hubby Jack is in turmoil, wanting …

Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 4 DVD Collection
After purchasing the other 3 seasons on box set I had fallen in love with the way it was layed out and shown so when I brought home this product I was really very excited. I had already watched the whole of this season and couldn’t wait to see …
The Ray Bradbury Theater DVD set
Earlier this year, I was gifted with The Ray Bradbury Theater DVD set, which contains all 65 episodes of the science fiction series on 5 DVDs. I’ve just finished reviewing the episodes, so now it’s time to take a look at the DVD set itself.
There are plenty of highs …
Law & Order SVU TV Episode: Totem
Synopsis: Benson and Stabler receive help from sex therapist Cap Jackson (Jeremy Irons) when a little girl’s body is found brutally murdered and stuffed inside a suitcase and the police begin to suspect a female rapist/killer.
What I like about this episode: I know he’s a guest star and was …
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig: Episode 16
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig Episode 16 has Ishikawa returning from the Peninsula to give Section 9 news regarding Kuze’s origins.
I liked this episode because it was very interesting and moved the plot forward, while giving us information about the Individual 11’s leader Kuze. …
M*A*S*H: Change Day
Philip Ahn guest stars as Mr. Kim, the tailor, in M*A*S*H: Change Day. Ahn has been in other episodes of this comedy, including the one in which Alan Alda virtually did a one-man show when Hawkeye Pierce was injured and had to keep talking in case he had …
The 64th Annual Tony Awards TV Show
For me, The 64th Annual Tony Awards were not as wonderful as some reviewers I’ve read have made them out to be. I wasn’t enamored by Sean Hayes as they were. Perhaps it’s my tradition. It’s nothing against Hayes, but I wasn’t a fan of Will …
The Fall Guy: The Japanese Connection TV Show
I’m not sure, but I think The Fall Guy: The Japanese Connection would have been better called The Hawaiian Connection. This is the show starring Lee Majors, who plays a stunt man named Colt Seavers whose side job is working as a bounty hunter. Most episodes start …
M*A*S*H: The Pilot
I’d forgotten that the first episode of M*A*S*H included all the shots that were part of the opening show with just a slight embellishment in the action. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it. I’d also forgotten that it’s one of Hawkeye’s letters home that begins …
Adam-12: Elegy for a Pig
For fans of Adam-12 who track the show and its continuity, season three’s Elegy for a Pig is a challenge. It’s presented documentary style and in a completely different tone than the usual half-hour episode. In reality, this show is a standalone episode. Think of it as …
M*A*S*H: Hanky Panky
B.J. Hunnicutt (Mike Farrell) becomes one of the masses instead of a lone devoted soul when he cheats on his wife in M*A*S*H: Hanky Panky from season five. While the resolution is okay, I always thought it was a shame that they had this story. It’s just …
Vampire High Season 1 Episode 10
In this episode, its parent’s weekend and the Fury suspects that Dr. Murdoch is up to something. On top of everything that is going on, it’s student evaluation time.
The episode begins with a mysterious man telling a minion of the Fury that there is something suspicious about Reginald Murdoch …
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia
One of the funniest shows on television is “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”. I caught the show in its first season and I really didn’t pay it much attention. Finally when I got with my current boyfriend I spent more time watching it because it is one of …
House Hunters
AS someone who spent years selling real estate in one of the toughest markets in the country, New York City, it is only natural that I would gravitate to a real estate show, but it is one that anyone would enjoy. One thing that I like, as long as …
Tru Calling — The Pilot
Fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer such as myself were delighted to hear Faith/Eliza Dushku would be continuing to act in the supernatural genre of television. She had turned down her own spin off from Buffy just to do Tru Calling. The Pilot is where us fans were holding …
Stargate SG1: The Torment Of Tantalus
Katherine Langford, the woman who recruited Daniel Jackson for the Stargate program, is re-introduced in this episode. No, she is not played by the same woman but an equally talented one.
Daniel is given lots of boxes regarding the Stargate Program back in 1945. While most people would …
Boston Public
Boston Public is a show about high school students and their teachers. the show focuses primarily on the teachers and how they interact with troubled kids. Each episode deals with a different scenario between teacher and student.
I really enjoyed this show and was saddened when it was …
The Simpsons Season 8
The Simpsons Season 8 is one of the great seasons of the animated show because it contains several episodes that fans regard as classics. However it also contains episodes that are just as good, but aren’t talked about very often. Personally I love the episode where Bart is finally …
Futurama TV Episode: Fry and the Slurm Factory
My daughter and I took the time to watch a Futurama episode Tuesday night and ended up watching the Season 1 episode Fry and the Slurm Factory.
I had seen this one before (a long time ago) and this was the first time my daughter had watched it. Both of …
Venture Bros.: Blood of the father, heart of steel
This episode picks up where the season finale left off…sort of. It isn’t told in chronological order, rather it’s shuffled up. The differences were so drastic that I was convinced that they were introducing a multiverse, with one being real and the other taking place in …
The Jerry Springer Show
I use to watch the Jerry Springer a lot when I was younger but over the years it seemed to have fade away. It use to be very entertaining and use to be very excited every time it would come on. The guess seem to have real problems and …
Adam-12: Log 106: Post Time
In Adam-12: Log 106: Post Time, Officer Jim Reed (Kent McCord) is worried about an upcoming handball match with another officer. We never find out what happened, but it makes for a quick, comic discussion. The recurring banter between Reed and veteran partner Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) …
