Wagon Train: The Melanie Craig Story
Wagon Train: The Melanie Craig Story was a hoot and one of the best non-Robert Fuller episodes of Wagon Train. Fuller actually missed several episodes due to an accident, so it’s a long stretch without seeing Cooper Smith. Still, this story had some fun in it.
Melanie …
The Last 10 Pounds Boot Camp
I don’t watch a lot of reality television, but there is one weight loss and fitness show that I really love. It is called The Last 10 Pounds Boot Camp, and the premise of this half-hour show is quite basic: each episode features a subject, or victim, who is …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea Season 3 Vol 2 DVD
The third season of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea is routinely vilified by fans of science fiction as a tragic end to an otherwise phenomenal program. The main problem with Season Three was the fact that it generally centered on some truly awful and ludicrous plots that …

“Primeape Goes Bananas” is an episode of the “Pokemon” series. It’s primarily a comedy episode and it focuses on Ash’s attempts to get his hat back after the fight Pokemon Mankey steals it and refuses to give it back. Ash spends practically the entire episode attempting to attack Mankey, …
The Andy Griffith Show TV Episode: Mayberry on Record
Like I mentioned in another review, I was home with the kids yesterday and, while rocking my youngest daughter to sleep, I found myself watching some episodes of the Andy Griffith Show.
One of these episodes, entitled “Mayberry on Record,” wasn’t too bad.
This one had a man coming to Mayberry …
Tales of the Gold Monkey: Honor Thy Brother
I must admit that Tales of the Gold Monkey: Honor Thy Brother isn’t one of my favorite episodes of the series. It begins with Jake Cutter (Stephen Collins) having a lot of close calls. He survives them all, but realizes that it’s actually intentional. There’s …
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 2.17: Ourselves Alone
Wow, prayers actually do get answered, or rather, episodes tend to usually get increasingly more and more interesting as the season finale approaches. With only six episodes left (including this one), it’s almost as if Season 2 has been holding out on us, saving all the good stuff for …
Weeds Showtime Sitcom (Season Two)
Season One of Weeds was a great introduction on Showtime’s cable network. The idea that a suburban housewife could engage in such illegal activities for the sake of feeding and sheltering her children seems preposterous. But the reality is that plenty of people do it everyday. …
MacGyver: The Golden Triangle
Mac heads for Burma and becomes involved in helping some of the locals to get free of the opium dealers who want them to harvest their crops. It’s essentially slavery, and Mac can’t help himself after he meets one of the young boys. He’s saddened by what …

Golden Girls sitcom
I remember watching the Golden Girls as a kid but it did not compare to watching it as an adult. I actually get the jokes now as an adult. Three of the Golden Girls are now deceased. Betty White is still with us and going strong presently in another …

I think that any episode in Scrubs Season One is important to watch to get a feel for learning the characters and what they are about. J.D. is finally starting to get comfortable about the procedures he is doing on real patients. All of the interns are …

Every now and then, the powers that be at this incredibly wonderful wartime comedy give us a show dealing with how down and out the personnel can get. M*A*S*H: Morale Victory is one of these episodes. The troops at the 4077th are tired of the war going …
TV Show: Ham on the Street
Ham on the Street is a new show on Food Network that stars chef George Duran. It is absolutely hilarious! I love this show. New episodes come on Wednesday night at 10:30 pm/9:30 central. Ham on the Street has it all! It always starts off with George patrolling the …
The Virginian: The Masquerade TV Show
The Virginian: The Masquerade, a sixth season episode, was one I found to be quite delightful. It was pretty lighthearted versus the serious tone of so many of these 90 minute episodes, and it featured David Hartman, who I often enjoy in his portrayals.
Hartman guest stars as well …
ASAP ‘08
I don’t like watching TV nowadays, but every Sunday I do try to watch ABS-CBN Channel 2’s ASAP 2008. That is a variety show, where most of the contract stars of Channel 2 dances, or sings. They have quite a lot of features in that show two; it is …
Lost: LaFleur
This episode of Lost, which originally aired on March 4, 2009, is another step forward in advancing the plot of the series towards next year’s final season. After four years of teasing viewers with tiny snippets of information, J.J Abrams finally begins to reveal the secrets that have eluded …
Family Guy: No Chris Left Behind
Last night was an OK Family Guy episode “No Chris Left Behind” but, it also wasn’t one of the better episodes in the series.
This one has Lois and Brian discovering Chris has been forced to learn from history text books written in 1948. During Lois’ protest to the school …
The Twilight Zone: I Sing the Body Electric TV Show
I Sing the Body Electric is one of my very favorite episodes of The Twilight Zone. Actually, this work has been done as a movie and TV show, and I haven’t seen a version I don’t like. This story goes from when the grandmother is conceived of …
Star Trek: Voyager - Critical Care
The Star Trek: Voyager episode, “Critical Care” is easily one of my favorites of the series because it tackles a very serious and real issue: rationing healthcare. In this episode, the Doctor is kidnapped and sold to a world where a computer determines who gets what care based on …

Wow — what a lineup! Guest starring on the Short Fuse episode of Columbo are Roddy McDowall as Roger Stanford, Anne Francis as Valerie Bishop, James Gregory as David L. Buckner, Ida Lupino as Doris Buckner, and William Windom as Everett Logan. This is my kind of …
Danny Phantom: Pilot: Mystery Meat
“Mystery Meat” is the season pilot of the popular cartoon show Danny Phantom which is on Nickelodeon. The story of the series is that ordinary high school freshman Danny Phantom goes through a ghost portal and becomes half ghost. Ok, it’s a silly premise. The plot of the …
666 Park Avenue (Tv Series)
One of the series that I started watching recently was “666 Park Avenue”. It was recommended to me by another fan of the series Supernatural who swore that I would not only enjoy it, but be just as hooked. The series is still in is infant stage as it …
Mr. Monk Goes Camping
I will admit, Friday night’s episode of Monk was better than expected.
When I saw he was going camping, I immediately thought to myself “didn’t we do an episode like that before?” But, this time around, it was him helping Randy with a group of kids in the woods in …
CSI Season 2 Episode 9 And Then There Were None
It was definitely not one of the best episodes in the season and not in the show. Although the course of investigation precedes as usual: new facts discovered, many more are unknown, different theories and possibilities, going back and forth on finding the criminal… I find that the writers …
Shanties and Sea Songs with Gareth Malone TV Show
Shanties and Sea Songs with Gareth Malone was quite an interesting show in my opinion. That’s mostly due to the fact that the topic, the style of song covered in this special program is highly dramatic and engaging. In fact, they are some of the most powerful …
The Simpsons Fall Season 2009
The Simpsons fall season 09 premiere was highly disappointing. I have been an avid fan of the show since it began 20 years ago. I was anticipating the premiere, wondering what new could be in store.
Dry, dry and boring. It started off somewhat interesting but quickly lost its …
Tyra Banks show
This isn’t my favorite talk show. Ellen is my favorite talk show. Although I do like to watch Tyra from time to time. I really like some of the shows she does. I think she picks unique topics to do and has an enjoyable talk show to watch. I …
The Veil: The Return of Madame Vernoy TV Show
The Veil: The Return of Madame Vernoy was a very compelling story that had me fascinated from the beginning. It’s a story that takes place in India. In 1927, a young Indian woman, whose husband was a Frenchman, gave birth and died a week later. A …

The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Dan Haggerty TV Show
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast continued with the Man of the Hour, Dan Haggerty, best known as Grizzley Adams. The dais featured a few performers known for playing similar outdoor characters along with the usual suspects of ridiculous ‘why bother’ comics.
To be honest, this was the most boring …
Stargate SG-1: Seth
Stargate SG-1: Seth is another episode that some of the actors of the series thought was pretty bad. The whole premise seemed weak to them, the idea of a Goa’uld still living on Earth and having achieved nothing but a tiny cult like following seeming ludicrous. Still, …
Smallville: Comitted
“Committed” the is fifth episode of season eight of Smallville, which now airs on the CW at 8PM on Thursday evenings. This was a character driven episode as opposed to an episode based on an epic battle or interesting villian.
In this episode, Chloe and Jimmy have finally patched …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 42: Bustman’s Holiday
After the heavy, serious tone of the Cthulu episode, we get a more lighthearted adventure. It may not be as epic as the last episode, but it is certainly enjoyable in its own right. In fact, the humor is actually quite welcome.
This episode takes the team to …
Grandmaster TV Programme
I would like to discuss about a TV Programme which is shown in the private channel Vijay TV (Group of Starplus). The name of the program is Grandmaster. It is a Tamil program. The program goes like this. The contestant should think of a famous personality and should give …
Desperate Housewives: Mirror, Mirror

Chase: Repo is the second episode of this new dramatic TV series which stars Kelli Giddish as Annie Frost, a U.S. Marshal. The show begins with what appears to be a drag race, only it’s a murder in the making, one done by a recently released fugitive.

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Monster of Moon Ridge
The Monster of Moon Ridge is what I would call the Halloween episode for this black and white half-hour western called Have Gun - Will Travel. Richard Boone stars as the gunfighter, Paladin. In this show, I thought he was particularly good and the reason for that …

Law & Order SVU TV Episode: Runaway
My wife and I had about an hour to ourselves last night and, since we were too tired to do anything else, sat down on the couch and watched a re-run of the show Law & Order SVU called Runaway.
Overall, this turned out to be a decent episode.
The episode …
The X-Files Lazarus Episode
This is another one of what I think was one of my 30 favorite episodes of the popular nineteen nineties American television series “The X-Files”. This is because deals with the whole belief of out of body experiences and whether or not the human body possesses a soul. In …
CSI Season 2
The second season of CSI was one of the best seasons of the show, though a lot of people have forgotten just how good it was. We’re now on season seven, and some people have a hard time remembering the earlier seasons. In season 2 we were treated to …
