Ghost Hunters Season 1
OK, my wife and I just finished watching the last two episodes of the first season of the show Ghost Hunters. Rather than reviewing those, I figured I would take a minute to recap what I thought of the entire season. And, unfortunately, the answer to that is “not …
Gilligan’s Island - Up to Bat TV Show
Here is another spooky episode more in gear towards Halloween than a normal Gilligan’s Island episode. This one kind of creeps me out to watch, since Gilligan and the Skipper freak out and think Gilligan has turned vampire. Of course the Skipper gets caught up into Gilligan’s paranoid state, …
Cupcake Wars: Hot and Spicy ALMA Awards TV Show
My hunch is that the Cupcake Wars: Hot and Spicy ALMA Awards was an early show and perhaps even the pilot for this new TV series because there were a lot of things different from the way the show was run. In fact, even the standard bits spoken …
Highway Patrol: Hypo Bandit TV Show
Hypo Bandit was the opening episode for Highway Patrol’s third season. Broderick Crawford continues to star as Chief Dan Mathews, who heads up the California Highway Patrol. What I missed, though, were the presence of recurring actors William Boyett and Stuart Whitman, neither of whom appeared here.
In …
Sanctuary - 112 Revelations part 1
Episode 112 „Revelations part 1″ is a first part of a season finale of the sci-fi series „Sanctuary”. “Sanctuary” started as a webseries but was soon picked up as a tvshow by the Scifi Channel. It stars Amanda Tapping of the Stargate fame and Robin Dunne as scientists trying …
Stargate SG-1: Point of No Return
Stargate SG-1: Point of No Return is an odd episode with some funny moments, but once again, the team is divided, and that’s always a sad thing. This time around, it’s Jack and Teal’c who cover one part of the tale, while Daniel and Sam work together.
Now I …
Psych: You can’t Handle this Episode
Well, when the new episode of Psych came out and I heard it starred pro wrestler John Cena, I was definitely intrigued. I didn’t expect it to be a pretty decent episode.
This one is a bit sad to be honest, not only is Shawn’s girlfriend (who I just realized …
The Apprentice - UK - Week 11
In Week 11 of The Apprentice - UK, Sir Alan Sugar’s quest to find a new apprentice had nothing to do with the competitors participating in a task. Rather, much like Donald Trump’s American version does, this was the interview show. Bringing in two trusted business people …
Just Shoot Me
Just Shoot Me is a pretty cool TV show. I think she show can be funny at times but boring at the same time. I think he has some really good actors in the show. For example David Spade is really good in the show. His acting is always really …
Highway Patrol: Explosives TV Show
The 35th show Highway Patrol from Season 3 was called Explosives and aired in June 1958. While it had action and drama, it also featured poor writing in my view, and maybe even more direction since I would think the director would have some power to make what …
MacGyver: Good Knight MacGyver Part 1
MacGyver brings the fans a real treat in this two-parter from season seven, call Good Knight MacGyver. It’s just an amazing show that makes you laugh and smile. In Part 1, Mac and Pete are learning about Mac’s ancestry. The genealogist is played by Colm Meaney …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Who Are You
Well, I was right in my assumption during the last episode that Buffy and Faith switched bodies. This was confirmed in the episode “Who Are You” and it was definitely an interesting episode.
For one, you have Buffy facing imprisonment and even death because the council believes she is Faith …
Justice League Unlimited: Initiation
Justice League Unlimited slipped under my radar when it first came out but after watching Initiation I certainly want to see more of it. This episode focuses on four of the Justice Leaguers, Green Arrow, Captain Atom, Super girl and The Green Lantern.
The Green Arrow is the main character, …
Rush (An Australian TV Series)
Rush is an Australian TV series set in Melbourne, Australia. I follow this series religiously because it is an eye-opener in terms of the differences between the police in the US and Australia. The accent is a bit difficult to follow, but after a while, you begin to understand …
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: Bobby Riggs TV Show
Believe it or not, even tennis guru Bobby Riggs was worthy to be the Man of the Week on The Dean Martin Comedy Hour. It’s amazing who they honored, and that’s not always good. Martin had a few good opener zingers, including some about the big Billie …
Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 18
Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 18 begins with Lust in the Central Library 1st Branch looking for Dr. Marcoh’s notes when she encounters Scar, a fight begins and meanwhile Ed and Al return to Central to learn that the Library has been burned down and must find another way to read …
Stargate: Infinity: The Natural TV Show
Stargate: Infinity: The Natural is another lesson show. Actually, I think they all are, but it seems that the last half of the season is much more focused on that than the first half, or maybe it’s just standing out to me because it seems to be so …
Due South: The Gift of the Wheelman
In Due South: The Gift of the Wheelman, it’s the Christmas season, and Benton and Ray are out doing their shopping when a bank robbery occurs nearby. The hold up is done by men dressed in Santa Claus suits, and as they make their getaway, one trips and …

Tenspeed and Brown Shoe: Savage Says “What Are Friends For?” TV Show
From 1980, Tenspeed and Brown Shoe: Savage Says “What Are Friends For?” was the first one not directed and written by series creator, Steven J. Cannell, and it showed. While the essence of the wonderful characters of E.L. ‘Tenspeed’ Turner, played brilliantly by Ben Vereen, and Lionel Whitney, …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Long Weekend TV Show
From April 1961, Richard Boone returns as Paladin for another thirty minute western adventure in Have Gun - Will Travel: Long Weekend. I have one overwhelming thought on this show, or rather a word that I would highly associate with it, and that one word is windbag.
Roy Barcroft …
Dancing with the Stars: 200th Episode TV Show
The 11th season of Dancing with the Stars continued with its seventh week of competition also being a celebration of its 200th episode. The underdog series took a while to catch on, but now it’s a staple on TV despite annual criticism over its B-level stars, celebrities, or …
Seinfeld TV Episode: The Mango
I wasn’t in the mood for Family Guy last night so I ended up flipping through the channels and settling for a Seinfeld re-run instead. Fortunately for me, it happened to be one of my favorites; The Mango.
The set up on this episode was fantastic. Jerry and George are …
Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files: Predator/Red Sky at Night TV Show
Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files: Predator/Red Sky at Night was the fourth show in this new series that airs on Syfy. Now this show is a little like the History Channel’s “Chasing Mummies” in that it’s questionable just how accurate of a show it is.
When I watched the …
TV Show Ugly Betty
No wonder there are a lot of hype surrounding the popular hot new TV show, Ugly Betty. Everybody loves Ugly Betty, even those who can’t understand English do. This is proven, as the show even has translations into several languages across different countries.
Perhaps it’s because everybody could …
Lone Star: Pilot TV Show
The much hyped pilot episode of Lone Star was directed by Peter Horton, so I assumed off the bat that it should be a riveting and quality show. In reality, it was. It included a couple of memorable lines, even. I was fascinated by an early …
Sabrina the Teenage Witch TV show
During the 90’s, there was a show on ABC called Sabrina the Teenage Witch. It is now on the ABC Family channel. Back when the show was on, it was one of my favorite shows. It is about a girl who finds out at the age …

Dawn Porter (Channel4)
Probably more famed for her work on BBC3, Dawn Porter has tackled numerous subjects in her often light hearted documentaries before.
With this Channel 4 series, Porter tackles topics that are a bit weightier and difficult than her previous exposes. In particular, her investigations into mail order brides and polygamy …
CSI Season 1 Episode 9 Unfriendly Skies
This episode investigates only one case, but it is extra intense. This time the crime scene is in the first class on a plane. They only have 24 hours to solve the case before the FBI takes over the case and the crime scene “flies away.” What makes the …
Band of Brothers Episode 8 “The Last Patrol”
Band of Brothers Episode 8 The Last Patrol has Easy Company in Haguenau and David Webster rejoins Easy Company and is shut out by his friends because he wasn’t there in Bastogne.
This is a good episode, not as intense as episode 7 but it’s still very good, and it’s …
South Park - Butters Bottom Girl
While this is one of the few episodes of South Park I can’t play in front of my son, I still think it’s one of the best for it not only has the South Park humor, but tackles the idea of …
The Simpsons: Mobile Homer
I only tuned into to the Simpsons episode Mobile Homer about 10 minutes into it so I didn’t get a chance to see the very beginning. But, I have to admit, this episode ended up being pretty funny.
From what I can tell, Homer decided to buy a mobile home …
Beverly Hills 90210
I think Beverly Hills 90210 is probably one of the worst TV shows ever made. I hate soap operas, so with more reason I hate this show. It’s a show about a bunch of young collage age kids who have sex with other and everyone. Seriously that is just …
The Simpsons Season 3 Episode 17 Homer at the Bat
The episode begins with Homer gulping down donuts in a hurry. Lenny tells him not to eat so fast he might choke, but Homer is Homer. He continues to eat that way and then a donut gets stuck in his throat. Meanwhile Lenny spots a softball team sign up. …
Stargate SG-1: 2001
In season 4 of Stargate SG-1, there was an episode called 2010 that I just didn’t like very much, reason being everyone was just so depressed with their lives. Season five gives us the precursor to that episode, though, and it’s called 2001. It’s far better and …
Fireball XL5: Wings of Danger
Fireball XL5: Wings of Danger has some neat moments to it and at the center of the show is something basic to human nature — revenge. Okay, so it’s aliens who want the revenge. It’s the group from Planet 46 (the first episode of Fireball XL5, in …
Doctor Who: Season 1, Episode 9: The Doctor Dances
Now this is more like it. With all of the plot setup out of the way, this episode manages to deliver everything you’d want in an episode of Doctor Who. All the things that were missing have come back here to deliver a very enjoyable conclusion to …

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Real Me
Well, it took 5 seasons but Buffy the Vampire Slayer finally has a sister (I say that because most shows try to mix things up a bit by adding another character through a pregnancy; usually a sibling). But, the interesting thing about the episode “Real Me” is the sister …
Doctor Who: Season 2, Episode 9: The Impossible Planet
This episode was a vast, vast improvement over the last one. Where “The Idiot’s Lantern” fell flat, this one fired on all cylinders.
The Doctor and Rose find themselves on a drilling rig after the TARDIS experiences what the Doctor refers to as “indigestion”. Before they can investigate, …
H20 - Just Add Water
When I first heard about H20 - Just Add Water I was quite excited. A series about mermaids? I love mermaids, I also loved that the show was an Australian one.
H20 is into it’s third season now and I must admit the first season was a bit …
COPS
I like the TV show COPS. It’s very entertaining and exciting. COPS is show that shows the real life events of cops going after dangerous criminals. I like the show because it is very fast paced intense. You will see lots of gun shots fights and crazy things on COPS. …
The Simpson’s TV Episode: The Day the Violence Died
I ended up watching a re-run of the show The Simpson’s last night, The Day the Violence Died. I have seen this one before, but this was the first time in a long time and it was actually kind of nice seeing it again.
Basically, in this episode, Bart and …
Keeping Up with the Kardashians
I turned on the television and was lucky enough to catch an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
Initially I had thought it would be a terrible show and had never bothered watching it, that night however there was nothing on TV and so I watched.
Surprisingly it was really …
