Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable, manga TV series
Originally published as a manga in 1987, Hirohiko Araki’s Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure quickly rose to fame as one of the best-selling manga series of all time. Shockingly enough, a proper anime series adaptation for the show wouldn’t arrive until 2012, 25 years after its initial creation. Being adapted so …
Make it or Break it
This is the first season of a television drama about aspiring gymnasts training in a gym called The Rock. It is an interesting look at the life of athletes before they become Olympians, the hardships they undergo, and the life that they have to lead just to fulfill their …

The X-Files Humbug Episode
This is the 44th episode of the popular 90s American television series “The X-Files”. It is also the 20th episode in season 2. It is quite memorable for me as this is also one of the first full episodes I remember watching in the 90s when I was a …
M*A*S*H: Lend a Hand
Alan Alda, who stars as Captain Hawkeye Pierce in this hit wartime comedy, wrote and directed M*A*S*H: Lend a Hand. While he was at it, he brought his father, Robert Alda, back as Dr. Anthony Borelli. Not only that, he had his brother guest star as Corporal …
Doctor Who: Season 1, Episode 2: The End of the World
This episode picks up where the last left off, with Rose entering the TARDIS and joining the Doctor on his adventure. He asks her where in time she wants to go and she responds by suggesting they jump forward a century, and then 10,000 years. Oddly enough, …
The Twilight Zone: The Lonely TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Lonely is one of the classic episodes of this series. I thoroughly enjoy it each and every time I see it. It’s the concept that makes it intriguing. Jack Warden is a convict, sentenced to live the rest of his life on …
Hustle Season 2
I am writing this review on great BBC series Hustle Season 2. The main reason for writing this review is that this is unmatchable TV series and most of the people don’t know about it. The theme of the show is great and it’s about 5 people who find …
CSI Season 3 Episode 6- The Execution of Catherine Willows
The beginning of the episode was, for no better choice of words, plain cool. It was so unexpected that it grabbed my attention right from the beginning. They did a really good job with this one. It was potentially a really tricky subject, but they handled it quite well, …
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 Twilight Zone: Once Upon a Time TV Show
I just love The Twilight Zone: Once Upon a Time which feels like a wonderful change of pace, which seems odd to say about a science fiction series that goes all over the place in terms of style and story. However, much of this thirty-minute episode is done …
Star Trek: The Naked Time TV Show
Now here is a fun science fiction TV show. Star Trek: The Naked Time lets us really have some good times with the Enterprise crew. It all happens because they end up infected by a disease which causes them to become more emotional and carefree. These …
Family Guy: Holy Crap
This episode is from early in the second season, and is where the show started hitting its stride. Of course, by hitting its stride I mean starting to run gags for shock value based on them putting respected members of society in weird situations. In this one, Peter’s very …
Doctor Who 2009 Easter Special: Planet of the Dead
Rather than go for another full season, Tennant and crew decided to wrap up his run with a series of specials. There was, of course, the Christmas special, which has become something of a Doctor Who tradition, but they followed it up with an Easter special. As …
Columbo: The Complete First Season DVD
Columbo: The Complete First Season on DVD is a really nice product for fans of this iconic detective series to own. It’s really well done. It begins with a nice box that the disk holder slides into. It keeps everything as pristine as possible.
The negative point …
Psych: The Devil is in the Details—¦.and the upstairs bedroom
Well, I have to admit, I had my doubts about last Friday’s episode of Psych. But, it turned out to be a somewhat interesting episode.
Shawn and Gus are asked to investigate a girls suicide at a Catholic School and whether or not it was the result of a possession …
Sea Hunt: The Hero TV Show
From 1958, Sea Hunt: The Hero has some good bits to it and was interesting to watch, I’m happy to say. I like the opening where we learn what project Mike Nelson, expert skin diver, is working on at the moment, and that’s research to see if plant …
M*A*S*H: The Red/White Blues
In M*A*S*H: The Red/White Blues, Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) examines the base commander, Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) for his required annual examination and discovers Potter has high blood pressure. This would result in Potter being sent home early. Since the test doesn’t need to be done …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Manicurist TV Show
From its second season, The Andy Griffith Show: The Manicurist is memorable mainly for its guest star, Barbara Eden. Best known for starring in I Dream of Jeannie, Eden was an eye popper for the men, and that is exactly what this show put in full focus when …
Stargate SG-1: In the Line of Duty
Stargate SG-1: In the Line of Duty is an okay episode, but quite honestly isnt’ a big favorite of mine. The main point of the story involves Samantha Carter becoming the unwilling host to what the SGC thinks is a Goa’uld. In actuality, this is the show …
Felix in Hollywood cartoon
Recently, I had a chance to watch some classic Felix the Cat cartoons. I used to watch these with great pleasure when growing up. Well, not these specific ones I’m reviewing. These are older ones that I’m seeing for the first time, but there was a …
American Inventor TV show
I must admit that when i first heard that the people behind American Idol were trying to bring out a show called American Inventor, i thought they were trying too hard. However, i watched that show and they really pulled it together well. They made you believe in the …
Touching Evil: Y Me
Bruce Willis is the man behind the American adaptation of this British TV show called Touching Evil. It’s strange and oddly compelling, but if you blink, you’ll liable to miss something important.
Jeffrey Donovan does a great job as Creegan, the quirky detective who responds differently to the world …
Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 9
Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 9 is a continuation of Futures End this being part two. I thought it was pretty cool when Commander Chakotay and Torres attempt to grab Starling out of his own car with a transporter from a shuttle. But it couldn’t be that simple …
The Fall Guy: The Human Torch TV Show
One thing about The Fall Guy, it has an old school opening that you just don’t see much anymore. The full theme plus standard intro in this first season lasts almost three minutes. In this era of 10 second, title only spots, this feels like forever. …
Cosby Show
If you are looking for a great way to pass a few hours, either go to your local library or find some reruns of the cosby show. This is one of the best television shows to ever be aired on television, it had humor, romance, kids, rich people and …
Doctor Who: Season 1, Episode 6: Dalek
I honestly didn’t think I was going to be able to take the Daleks seriously. As such, I had mixed feelings going into this, but man alive, this episode proved me wrong on so many levels. Who would’ve thought that a goofy looking robot whose soul purpose …
Fireball XL5: Robert to the Rescue
Fireball XL5: Robert to the Rescue gives us something new yet again, and that’s really a neat thing about this puppet series for kids that aired back in 1962-1963. The powers that be kept doing different things, featuring characters in varying situations and whatnot. It’s variety that often …
Stargate SG-1: Babylon
Stargate SG-1: Babylon may actually be one of the few episodes where Ben Browder really pulled his own as Mitchell on this series. I somewhat enjoyed Mitchell’s interaction with a new race called the Sodan. There was a chance for Mitchell to do stuff on his own, …
Seinfeld: The Contest
One of the Seinfeld episodes I got to watch recently (for about the third time) was the episode entitled “The Contest.” If you have never seen this episode, or any other Seinfeld episode for that matter, you need to watch it. You’ll understand why this show was as popular …
The Dick Van Dyke Show (TV Show) - Jealousy (Episode)
“Jealousy” is an episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show”. This episode follows a pretty standard formula that I imagine, at the time, hadn’t been done to death like it has by now. In this episode, Rob ends up working late several nights with a beautiful woman that is …
Columbo: The Most Dangerous Match TV Show
Not every show, even that of a series you love a lot, not be of interest to everyone all the time. Sometimes, there are those that bore or for whatever reason just don’t lure a person in. Such is the case for me with Columbo: The Most …
Ghost Hunters: The Playhouse and the Firehouse
Well, another Ghost Hunters episode and another feeling like I wasted an hour of my life.
The Playhouse and the Firehouse seemed to have potential. But, once again, we have two investigations that turn up absolutely nothing.
The only thing that came from the Playhouse investigation is everyone finally had enough …
The Next Iron Chef: Ingenuity TV Show
The season 3 premier of The Next Iron Chef was called Ingenuity because it focused on creativity in the kitchen. Both the small challenge at the beginning, called the Secret Ingredient Challenge, and the lengthier Elimination Challenge that takes up the bulk of the episode dealt with the …
Scrubs show
Scrubs is a show that I really like. Even after 7 season they still make me laugh and I don’t find them bring as most of the shows become boring after 3rd or 4th season. But here that didn’t happend.
I like dr. Dorian more than other characters although I …
John Adams: Unnecessary War TV Show
The sixth of seventh episodes, Unnecessary War continues the mini-series, John Adams, which aired on HBO in April 2008. It’s a complex and involved story of a patriot who is iconic, but who was just a human being full of strength and fallacy. We see the weaker …
Jeremiah: Journeys End in Lovers Meeting
Jeremiah: Journeys End in Lovers Meeting was a little different in theme, and I rather enjoyed it because it dealt with belief. Belief isn’t tangible; it’s deep inside, part of the heart and soul. If you believe, you understand, and those who don’t believe always seek proof.

The Secret Life of the American Teenager
The Secret Life of the American Teenager is a new television drama series that airs on ABC Family channel. The show has completed one season and season 2 started Monday, January 12th 2009.

The Twilight Zone: Nick of Time TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Nick of Time is another show I really enjoy watching. This series came up with some great stories based on common situations, and this is one of those. We are presented with a newlywed couple who end up in a small town for an …
M*A*S*H: Lil
Carmen Mathews portrays Colonel Lillian Rayburn, the Lil of the title, in M*A*S*H: Lil. This seventh season show shows a budding relationship between Lil, who is visiting to check out how the nurses are doing at the 4077th, and Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan). They even go on a …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Conspiracy
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Conspiracy is an episode that came late in season one and, while enjoyable and certainly commendable for doing something quite different from standard Star Trek fare, has a few glaring plot holes here and there that make the story a little less enjoyable …
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Gold Fever TV show
In Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Gold Fever, the youngest McFadden brother, Guthrie, gets some time to show his stuff, and it’s good stuff. Young Guthrie is played by River Phoenix, who died way too young of tragic circumstances. Here, though, in 1982, we see the promise …
DC Cupcakes: Greek Festival TV Show
DC Cupcakes: Greek Festival is the third episode of a new series on The Learning Channel, a channel I’d pretty much stopped watching considering their insistence on stuffing the Gosselins down America’s throat. However, I’m liking this show. Here are some highlights from my point of view.
–Sophie …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Never Kill a Boy on the First Date
While not much in terms of action, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode Never Kill a Boy on the First Date turned out to be a good one.
I know the message it was trying to send. Buffy can’t live the life of a normal teenager because of her secret …
Walker Texas ranger TV Show
If you like westerns, then you will probably like this TV show starring Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris plays Walker, a Teas ranger. This is essentially a cop shop, except made country by the fact that the main character is a ranger in Texas rather than a policeman. The show …
The Apprentice TV Show
The Apprentice is an interesting concept for a show. The show is a search for a new employee for Donald Trump. The contestants go through different competitions taht show their individual business sense and their ability to work well with others. Each week a new contestant is “fired” by …
Supernatural Season 6 Episode 2: “Two and a Half Men”
This sixth season of Supernatural has really started off with a horrible start. All of the things I loved about Supernatural seems to have been changed around on me, where now I am feeling as though the show is missing the vital essence of what had made it so …
Surviving the Cut: Special Forces Diving TV Show
The latest episode of Surviving the Cut was called Special Forces Diving which dealt with the Special Forces Combat Diving Course. These personnel are already Special Ops trained, and that in itself takes a great deal of courage and strength. This is even more intense.
There were 53 …
Supernatural: Lazarus Rising
I have to admit, i wasn’t expecting much of this season. It starts four months after the end of season 3, when Dean was killed and sent to hell. Dean wakes up in a coffin, in the middle of a forest. He was liberted from hell. …
