The 2009 Hollywood Christmas Parade
The annual The 2009 Hollywood Christmas Parade began poorly with some horrible camera work. The two hosts, Erik Estrada and Laura McKenzie weren’t centered in the camera frame, resulting in Estrada having a third of his body, including his face, cut off. It was just horrid.
The parade …
M*A*S*H: Guerilla My Dreams
M*A*S*H: Guerilla My Dreams is a pretty intense episode which is also somewhat controversial in how it is played out. Alan Alda, who stars as Hawkeye Pierce, directed this intense episode. The show does include another cameo from Gary Burghoff as Radar O’Reilly. Burghoff has special …

M*A*S*H: A Full Rich Day
In M*A*S*H: A Full Rich Day, Hawkeye Pierce sends another letter home to his dad, only this time it’s not written, but spoken on a tape recorder. I love the opening explanation of how Hawkeye ended up with the recorder. It’s pretty funny.
One oddity about this show …
The Twilight Zone: The Bewitchin’ Pool TV Show
All good things come to an end, and such was the case for The Twilight Zone with this interesting outing called The Bewitchin’ Pool. I really like this show and believe that this groundbreaking science fiction series went out on top.

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Hanging Cross TV Show
From season 1 of Have Gun - Will Travel, The Hanging Cross was a magnificent holiday show. Written by Gene Roddenberry, this was a very different Christmas experience. In fact, the entire structure of the show was innovative in that it deviated from the standard opening.
The …
A Very Supernatural Christmas Episode
A Very Supernatural Christmas is a third season episode of the CW series “Supernatural”, and the first time that the show had a holiday themed episode. Previously they attempted to do a few different holiday episodes, but this time they went with Christmas. I have to admit that I …

Television Show: The Good Night Show
When we ordered Direct TV a couple months ago, we decided to set it up in our oldest daughter’s room too; just so we could watch some more adult programming rather than cartoons all the time.
She recently discovered a show on the television station called Sprout. For the most …
Ghost Hunters: Whispers & Voices
Well, I got a new disk of Ghost Hunters Season 3 through Netflix the other day and my wife and I had an opportunity to watch the first episode on it; Whispers and Voices. The episode had potential but honestly wasn’t as good as expected.
Basically, they visited two places. …
CSI Season 5 Episode 14- Unbearable
I felt it was a mediocre episode. It wasn’t bad, but it was not something very interesting and exciting. It was just another episode on the show, waiting to be forgotten. The human factor of the story always surprises me. You can write a really great episode, with all …
Ghost Hunters: Civil War Spirits
Sometimes being a skeptical person can ruin my TV watching experience. This is especially true whenever there is a good Ghost Hunters episode on TV, like last night’s episode “Civil War Spirits.”
In the show, they were actually chasing Revolutionary War ghosts at a farm house built on land during …
My So-Called Life TV show
This is a show that originally aired in the 90s. It was critically acclaimed at the time, but low ratings lead to its cancellation. It got a second chance to find an audience on MTV a few years later, but no additional episodes were ever created. …
Highway Patrol: Plant Robbery TV Show
Highway Patrol: Plant Robbery is not a story I like to watch really. By happenstance, I’ve seen it a couple of times, and neither viewing was all that pleasurable, simply because there’s no one in the story I like. In other words, none of the characters really …
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 …

House: Poison
Ironically, my interest in the show House didn’t come during the first few episodes of the series; it was a show later in the series entitled “Poison.”

Prison Break Season 2 Episode 11- Bolshoi Booze
Prison Break Season 2 Episode 11- Bolshoi Booze

Bad Girls Club (Oxygen network show)
I tuned in “by accident” and started watching this show. I must say that it really is a guilty pleasure. I was happy to see that the women were somewhat “real” instead of a host of model looking women who we’re supposed to believe have …
Mr. Monk is the Best Man
Last night’s episode of Monk; Mr. Monk is the Best Man, ended up being a bit predictable but it was actually pretty darn funny too.

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 …
Bones: The Princess and the Pear
For the most part, I like the show Bones. But, some episodes, like this week’s “the Princess and the Pear” tend to be a bit too dumb to be enjoyable.
This one decided to focus on the fantasy world many people enjoy living in. People who attend comic book conventions, …

Burn Notice: Turn and Burn

Kim Possible
Kim Possible. This is a funny TV show. The lines are brilliant for what it is. I have gotten more than a few good chuckles out of this show … until reruns got to the point of ‘ew, change the channel to the news’. Anyway, I think Will Friedle …

Death Note the Anime
Death Note is an anime series that took my breath away. At first I was skeptic about an anime that could interest me, but after I saw the first episodes I knew this was going to be special.
The story revolves around Light Yagami, a high-school student, head of his …

Are you Smarter than a 5th Grader
When the game show Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader came out, I didn’t think it would be any good. And, because of that, I didn’t watch it.
However, I’ve been seeing some re-runs of the show on some of our local channels and have to confess, it is …

Sister Wives TV show
Normally I hate Reality TV. To me, it screams of TV producers throwing their arms up and saying “Everything’s been done. We don’t know what else to do”. However, Sister Wives is a pleasant change in the whole Reality TV scene.
Here we have a slight reminder of wholesome …
Scream Queens
I absolutely have no idea how in the world this reality TV show made it onto the air. I know that you can basically make a reality show out of anything these days. But this one is so corny that I had to laugh whenever I happened …

Last night was one of what I feel is one of the better Simpson’s travel episodes; The Regina Monologues.

The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: George Washington TV Show
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour took an odd turn this time around for its celebrity roast, going from the living to the dead, literally. The Man of the Week was President George Washington, played by Jim Leighton wearing revolutionary war attire. It was an intriguing idea that …
CAREFUL WHEN YOU BUY ON JEWELRY TV
Jewelry T.V. or ACNtv.com has been on the air for about twelve years, and I have used their station to buy far too much jewelry, but, I love everything I get! What I want to give my review on, is WHEN to buy on this station.
Jewelry t.v. has two …
Star Trek: The Tholian Web TV Show
