The Catherine Tate Show (BBC)
It took me a while to realise how funny Catherine Tate is and how good her sketch show is. I only started watching it when the UK nation was already quoting her ‘Lauren’ character and saying “I ain’t bovvered” at every opportunity. I have grown to really …
100 Million BC
I was flipping channels today and came across the Sci Fi television series 100 Million BC. Thinking it was the movie by the same name, I turned it on. Wow was I disappointed.
Normally Sci Fi comes out with some good shows. This was not one of them. Granted, I …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Loaded Goat TV Show
In January of 1963, The Andy Griffith Show aired a show called The Loaded Goat. The funny thing to me is that because of the way the show is edited for television in reruns, I had stopped watching this episode. I never knew the outcome of the …
PBS Workplace Essentials Television Show
When most people think of shows that are on the American public broadcasting station, they think of cartoons like “Arthur” and Clifford.” Most adults do not realize that there are a lot of helpful programs for them on there as well and this one is a great example. …

Stargate: Infinity: Mentor TV Show
What are the odds? Mr. Spock would say they were astronomical, I’m sure, but this isn’t Star Trek, so I suppose the odds don’t matter. In Stargate: Infinity: Mentor, Major Gus Bonner and his team go to a world where they run into Bonner’s mentor, Harley Sheppard, …
It’s Me or the Dog Animal Planet show
Truth be known, if my wife and I could have found anything better on television, we probably would never have watched the Animal Planet show “It’s Me or the Dog.”
After watching it, I have to say I’m not sure if it’s a show I will be watching again.
The concept …
Psych TV Episode: American Duos
I have heard about the Psych episode American Duos ever since it first aired some time ago. But, for some reason, I have never had an opportunity to actually watch it. So, when I discovered they had the second season of this show available on our Netflix Instant Watch, …
Stargate SG-1: Bounty
Stargate SG-1: Bounty gets mixed reviews, which isn’t that all surprising as season ten starts to wrap up. In this episode, Netan of the Lucian Alliance puts out a bounty on SG-1, all of whom are on downtime of some sort of another.
The oddest segment is Mitchell returning …
Boston Legal Season 2 Episode 16
Shirley Schimdt got a visit from her ex-husband Ivan. The latter wanted Shirley to be his best man for his wedding. Shirley opposed because first, because the best man doesn’t give the groom away, second, is that they used to be husbands and wives and last, she is not …
Doogie Howser M.D.
I think that Doogie Howser M.D. is one of the coolest old TV shows I saw growing up as a kid. This show was alway really funny. I think it was really cool how Doogie Howser was so smart even though he was so young. I mean he used …
The Beast: Capone
The Capone episode of The Beast stands out because it featured Lou Diamond Phillips as an agent who is deep under cover. The problem is that the man has been in his role for four very long years, during which his wife divorced him. In essence, as …
Cowboy Bebop Episode 19 (Anime)
Cowboy Bebop Episode 19 has Spike getting his fighter repaired on Earth while Faye and Jet take on space pirates.

Babylon 5: Season 1, Episode 2: Midnight on the Firing Line
A Centauri colony is attacked and it is up to the crew of Babylon 5 to figure out who is responsible and avoiding another war.
This episode acted as a nice follow up to the pilot. While the first episode had a fairly heavy plot, this one did …
Chappelle show: lost episodes
Whos been waiting for Dave Chappelle’s Lost Episodes? Just about everyone thats who! The lost episodes came to Comedy Central with new hosts to the show, Charlie Murphy and Donnell Rawlings. Now even though Im a fan of Dave Chappelle’s work, I am kinda dissapointed with the Lost Episodes. …
Project Runway Australia
I enjoy watching Project Runway US, especially when I hear the designers bitch about each other. I use to think they were vicious, until I watched an episode of Project Runway Australia. I like the setting of this Australian version; they stitch and bitch in Melbourne, Australia, a beautiful …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Juliet
In this episode of Have Gun - Will Travel, entitled Juliet, Paladin (Richard Boone) accidentally winds up in the middle of a small war. Unfortunately, there are a lot of problems with this episode, even though it’s actually entertaining. Interestingly, the show was written by Gene Roddenberry. …
Sea Hunt: Expatriate’s Return TV Show
We’re back with the United States Coast Guard Sea Hunt’s 10th show of season three, Expatriate’s Return. From March 1960, the show has our resident diving guru, Mike Nelson, dealing with another crime boss who is trying to get back into the country.

Highway Patrol: Narcotics Racket TV Show
Narcotics Racket is the 17th episode of Highway Patrol’s fourth and final season on the air. The show stars Broderick Crawford as Chief Dan Mathews and William Boyett as Sergeant Ken Williams. In my book, Boyett is the reason to watch this half hour program.
Terry Blake guest …
Jeeves and Wooster
I love this 1990’s TV series. The story is based on popular novels by P.G.Wodehouse. The two title characters, Jeeves and Wooster, are played by Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie, respectively. Jeeves is a butler, smart, elegant, and resourceful, and Wooster is his master, rich, carefree, and rather dimwitted. …
Burn Notice
I have seen advertisements for the show Burn Notice before but, for some reason, just never got around to watching it. I think it’s because it didn’t look like it would be anything overly special.
However, Friday night, my wife and I were watching TV and, just as we were …
That Girl: Fly Me to the Moon
Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) goes to work in an ad campaign for the Air Force promoting women in the service in That Girl: Fly Me to the Moon. Robert Colbert, who I always recall mostly from Time Tunnel, appears as Major Brian James. He ends up jetting …

The Twilight Zone: I Shot an Arrow into the Air TV Show
From season one, The Twilight Zone: I Shot an Arrow into the Air is a decent show, but perhaps it is the ironic and tragic fate of the story’s characters that puts me off. It’s not really one that has a happy ending, and I’m not into melancholy at …
Stargate SG-1: The Gamekeeper
Stargate SG-1: The Gamekeeper continues the tradition of great SG-1 episodes. This one stars the remarkable Dwight Schultz. He’s an incredible actor, and he really does a great job as the Gamekeeper. He’s worth watching all by himself.
The main plot in Stargate SG-1: The Gamekeeper is …
The Great Truck Food Race TV Series
The Great Truck Food Race TV Series aired on the Food Network during the summer of 2010. It was a six episode series where seven food trucks competed for the grand prize as they sold food in various places of the country.
It really was fascinating to see how …
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
Given the success of the Terminator movies, it was only a matter of time before someone would attempt to make a television series based on the movies. However, I’m not sure The Sarah Connor Chronicles are worth all the hype.
First, I think I should have re-watched the first two …
Married with Children TV Episode: Have you Driven a Ford Lately
Synopsis: In this Season 1 Episode, Al and Steve end up purchasing a classic Ford Mustang and work together to re-build it. While they do this, their wives, who are pretty much car widows, sulk because all their time and effort are going into the new automobile.
What I liked …

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Winter Roses TV show
I’m conflicted about Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Winter Roses. While it’s a wonderful story of love and has superb drama and angst, I just regret the choice made to end the episode. I wasn’t surprised back in 1983 when I first saw it, but I felt …
TV show What about Brian
Well, the first season of this new show was remarkably short lived - only 5 episodes, including the pilot - but it seems to be off to a good start. Chronicling the lives of 7 friends, 3 couples and Brian, this show explores some of the intricacies of …
PJs show
I always thought The PJs was a really funny show. It’s a funny animated show about people living in the projects. Eddie Murphy does voice over acting for this show. I think the show is very funny, but some people think it is raceist. I don’t think it really is …
CSI: New York: Out of the Sky TV Show
CSI: New York: Out of the Sky was just a so so outing in my opinion. I wasn’t particularly captivated by the hour or even intrigued. What was disappointing is that the opening teaser had some promise, but then once it was done, it just droned on …
Star Trek: Day of the Dove TV Show
I’m not a huge fan of Star Trek: Day of the Dove, which essentially pits two crews against each other, and all because of some third entity. Essentially, it’s the Enterprise crew verses the survivors of a Klingon one. Here are some of my thoughts on this …
Case Closed
Looking for a great mystery show to keep you entertained. Look no further, Case Closed in my opinion is the best mystery show ever. Case Closed is an amimated Japanese mystery show (availible in english). Don’t click the back button just because it is animated. Case Closed follows the …
Soundstage Presents Josh Groban TV Show
Popular singer Josh Groban was the featured performer on this rendition of the PBS series Soundstage. It’s a great showcasing of talent in a much more intimate setting than we often get to see. Actually, this is something Groban addresses after his opening song. It’s a …
Friends Episode: Princess Consuela
Friends Episode: Princess Consuela is on Phoebe wanting so bad to change her name and she does not want to be Mrs Mike but with another exotic name. Including in this episode is also the cute and kind of panic at times Rachel, having an interview with Gucci. …
Prison Break Season 1 Episode 16- Brother’s Keeper
This episode is a bit different from the rest. There are no new points to the story. Instead the entire episode is used as a flashback on the events that had lead to the beginning of the series. It tells the stories of the dominant characters in the story …
Max Headroom: Blipverts TV show
A couple years before Max Headroom the TV series began, there was a short movie made of the subject matter that created a lot of industry buzz. Much of this Blipverts episode is derived from the plot and themes first scene in that attention-grabbing 1985 project.
The basic idea …
Adam-12: Log 66: The Vandals
There’s a dramatic opening to Adam-12: Log 66: The Vandals when Officers Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) and Jim Reed (Kent McCord) pull over two men and one of them pulls a gun. That gets your heart pumping. What I notice most, though, is that the character of …
Beast Wars - Spider’s Game
Beast Wars - Spider’s Game is an episode that I definitely enjoyed. It is an episode that introduces the fourth new character to the show, the Predicon Inferno. Inferno is a character that I am real fond of, and boy is his entrance ever a grand one! For me, …
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: Bette Davis TV Show
Incredibly, somehow, Dean Martin convinced the acclaimed actress Bette Davis to be roasted on his TV show as the Woman of the Week. That just astounds me, but she did it, appearing on this episode ofThe Dean Martin Comedy Hour.
Oddly, I wasn’t that thrilled with Dean’s opening remarks, …
EastEnders tv show
I think that this is the best soap opera to ever come out of the UK. I watched the very first episode in Feb 1985 when I was living in England, then I missed a number of years until I discovered UKTV on Foxtel Australia which has …
Here Come the Brides: One to a Customer
Here Come the Brides: One to a Customer is an interesting episode from the first season of this ABC series which centers on a newcomer who wants to get married. The twist is that the man is Mormon and he doesn’t want just one wife, but four or …

Sabrina the Teenage Witch was always a really cool show. This is a show about a Sabrina a teenage witch that has magical powers. She has many adventures in the show. Sabrina the Teenage Witch is a pretty good show and has some really good acting in it. I think …
Family Guy 10-4: Stewie Goes for A Drive
I want to walk outside and scream up at the sky. Asking what has been happening to one of the best cartoons on television. Family Guy has been sinking to new lows with their Season 10, but this episode was just a sinker. It hit the iceberg and the …
Star Trek: The Lorelei Signal TV Show
Now here is a fun story, and I would guess that Gene Roddenberry would have loved to have produced something like this for live television. Star Trek: The Lorelei Signal, the fourth episode of the 1973 animated series, has a landing party from the Enterprise beaming down to …
