A Nice Place to Visit is an episode of the twilight zone from the first season. The twilight zone was a long-running, and many times revived, science fiction show. Each episode was a stand-alone episode, featuring a different story. The twilight zone was known for twists …
Beast Wars - Deep Metal
Beast Wars - Deep Metal introduces a new Maximal to the series: Depth Charge. In some ways, he seems as if he is intended to take the place of Dinobot, who was killed in the last season because he is more aggressive and eager to fight, he is distant …
Masterchef: Episode 1 TV Show
It was a very spontaneous decision to watch the first episode of Masterchef that was on the Fox network last night. I dislike Gordon Ramsey greatly. He’s a loudmouth, obnoxious man, at least that’s how he presents himself to be on television. I just can’t stomach …
MacGyver: Countdown
MacGyver: Countdown is the fourteenth episode of season one. It’s a very watchable show which has the action contained and rather subdued aboard a cruise ship. The sedentary action is watching Mac and his buddy try to disarm three bombs that have been set on the passenger …
Death Note Episode 34 (Anime)
Death Note Episode 34 begins with Aizawa becoming very suspicious of Light because whenever he meets with Kyomi Takada, they never use video surveillance, they only record the conversation. He devises a test to see whether or not they are exchanging notes during the conversation.
This episode was very …

Justice League Unlimited Season One: Kids’ Stuff
Kids’ Stuff is the fifth episode of Justice League Unlimited, season one. As you could imagine from the title, yes this episode involves four of the Justice Leaguers being turned into children. Surprisingly, the episode manages to be wildly entertaining and funny and avoids the curse that …
Dancing with the Stars - Final Performance Show - 5/24/2010
My problem in the last few years with Dancing with the Stars is that the judges have favorites and they push for them. It’s a bit of selective visuals.
Here’s my current case in point. The last free dance performance of the night was Derek Hough and celebrity …
The Tribe Season 1 Episode 1
In this episode, it starts off with a girl and her parents watching the latest on an epidemic or virus that is only affecting the adults; killing them. The news anchor reports there is an evacuation for all the people under eighteen years old and the girl does not …
Touching Evil: Memorial
The first thing I enjoyed about the Memorial episode of Touching Evil was the time we got to see David Creegan (Jeffrey Donovan) spend with his ex-wife and daughters. I continue to enjoy that connection which is strong and very present. It’s the first time we really …
Law & Order SVU TV Episode: Mask
Synopsis: Elliott (Christopher Meloni) goes undercover at a rehab clinic for sex addicts after a serial rapist known for wearing a distinctive mask attacks the daughter of the therapist that is running the group therapy.

Synopsis: Carly and her friends are challenged by a famous chef and end up outcooking him. They are thrilled (especially Sam, because the prize is steaks) until the chef feels sorry for himself and quits.
What I liked about this episode: Well, first of all, there used to be a …
Cougar Town show
Cougar Town is a new show on ABC. When I first heard about this show I was iffy about it, even though the main character is Courtney Cox. I thought it was an interesting concept, different, but I didn’t tune in until a friend pointed out how great it …
TV Series Modern Family “Caught in the Act”
You have to love a show that has kids walking in on their parents having sex in the morning in their first scene. I hadn’t seen a kids walking in episode on tv in awhile, it is not the first show to have done it but the material …
Survivor Season 20 Episode 3
This episode of Survivor was good in some respects but bad in others.
I did not enjoy the fact the Heroes got most of the screen time this episode. But I suppose that’ s what happens when you lose.
Oh it was fun watching them lose. A tribe of …
Married with Children TV Episode: Married Without Children
Synopsis: Peggy and Al decide to take a romantic vacation and Marcy and Steve agree to watch their kids as practice for when they become parents.
What I liked about this episode: Well, one of the big things was Al’s decision to agree to the romantic getaway simply because there …
M*A*S*H: Dear Mildred
Alan Alda directed M*A*S*H: Dear Mildred, a fourth season episode of this long running comedy series. I’m not positive, but I believe this is the first show Alda directed. It’s a familiar theme, the letter home, and this time it’s written by Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) …
Qur’an Channel 4 Programme
I tuned into this programme some way in as I hadn’t know it was on, but was interested in the subject matter. Apparently the aim of the programme was to talk about what the Muslim holy book actually says, I suppose to demystify it, given that there are …
MacGyver: Phoenix Under Siege
The Phoenix Under Siege episode of MacGyver is another good episode. It’s the return of Harry Jackson, MacGyver’s grandfather, as played by the talented John Anderson. It’s a special anniversary for the two, though not a pleasant one. It seems the two are planning to attend …

Melrose Place
In the nineteen nineties, I had gotten very used to living around the local television stations’ boring and unpredictable schedule. They would often sometimes bring cricket matches on both channels when I expected to see Saturday morning cartoons, and on Sundays, they brought absolutely nothing which appealed to …
Neon Evangelion Genesis episode 9
As Asuka and Shinji’s first ever real co-op mission goes underway, they could had never guessed that this event would cause such a tragedy of such comical intent. Their target: A new angel, appears on the outer edge of Tokyo 3 and soon becomes an real showcase to the …
Highway Patrol: Hostage Officer TV Show
The third season of the half hour police drama, Highway Patrol, continued on with its amazing 36th episode, entitled Hostage Officer. I do love the early days of television, in the fifties and sixties where TV seasons lasted this long, and even longer.
In the case of Hostage Officer from …
That ’70s Show
That ’70s Show is a really good show. It’s also amazing that is was on the air from 1998 until 2006. This makes it a very long lasting TV show. I think the idea and concept of the TV show is great. I like how they made a show that …
Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson
The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson is a late night show. This show usually comes on the same time Conan does, well I guess it would be the Jimmy Fallon show now. I love Craig Ferguson since the first time I caught his show. He doesn’t always have …
The one with Monica and Mike Playing Ping Pong
On Friends Episode: The one with Monica and Mike Playing Ping Pong, it is in one of the last few episodes and this has to be one of the funniest as well, on top of others. The one where Chandler, Phoebe, Mike and Monica are around a Ping Pong …
The Best of the Tony Awards - The Plays
While another ‘best of’ set looks at the great musicals that have graced the Broadway stage and been performed on The Tony Awards shows, this volume presents some of the great dramatic and comedic Broadway performances. All of the performances presented appeared on the broadcast for The Tony …
The Ricky Gervais Show - Channel 4
Something new from Ricky Gervais. I recall the first time I saw him on the 11 o’clock show on Channel 4 and I thought he was one of the worst t.v comedians that I had seen. The office brought him back for me though and everything else since, especially …
Defying Gravity (ABC SERIES)
As another year of viewing pleasure draws to end, a sizable heap of shows lie cancelled, victims of the dreaded, unforgiving axe.
Amongst them, ABC’s sci-fi drama Defying Gravity: an ambitious tale of eight astronauts on a six year long exploration of the solar system. This show seemed to …
Speeders (TruTV)
I wish I could say that I really like this show. But because it’s called “Speeders” you know that no one is going to get arrested (not really.) There will be no high speed chases, lots of cursing, no blood—”or any sort of real drama. …
Stargate SG-1: Children of the Gods - final cut DVD
The Stargate SG-1: Children of the Gods - final cut has three things going for it, and just three things.
First, since this final cut has yet to be aired on television, unless you’ve ripped it off some illegal torrent somewhere, buying the DVD has been the only way of …
Heroes TV series
This is the newest TV series that has rocked the whole nation. It’s actually about several people who have super power abilities and how their destinies are tied together. When NBC started advertising their new series, my husband and I were so excited. We love the unexplained, and this …
Dexter
Dexter
Dexter is one of the best TV shows out there. Unfortunately some people have a problem with it. There is no doubt that the show’s topic is controversial, but some people miss the important point. This show is a typical hero story, just like Batman or Superman- the only …
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 …
Mind of Mencia Tv show
Now I watch Comedy Central pretty often. Its a great netwok for the right viewers. There is a couple of shows on that I really liked. The show’s called “Mind Of Mencia”. This show has been on for three seasons. The third season ends soon in August. The host …
Trinity Blood episode 14
On Trinity Blood, in actuality there is little that is kept sacred such as the oaths Father Abel Nightroad made to himself and was forced to break them, as a sign of his sins appeared upon his flesh with childish murmurings of pain. On Trinity blood episode fourteen: “The …
Models of the Runway: Chic Clique
As I predicted with last week’s Models of the Runway episode, the show is starting to get a bit on the predictable side. Once a designer is eliminated, it is pretty much a given his model will be too since the designers always seem to stick with their models; …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Savage Jungle TV Show
The 21st show of the year, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Savage Jungle, starred David Hedison as Captain Lee Crane. When first seen, he’s in the flying sub, looking down at miles of jungle. Meanwhile, Admiral Harriman Nelson (Richard Basehart) is aboard the submarine Seaview, …
Fireball XL5: The Complete Series DVD collection
First of all, owning the Fireball XL5: The Complete Series DVD collection is something I’ve wanted for a long time. It’s a feel good, science fiction, and sentimental thing for me, so watching these shows again was really wonderful.
The five-disk set have a collector’s box that they fit …

The Ray Bradbury Theater: Tyrannosaurus Rex TV Show
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Tyrannosaurus Rex is somewhat different in that we get to see a movie within a TV show. It’s nothing extensive, but I like this concept. Basically, we have an animator being constantly criticized and even bullied because he can’t create a dinosaur that …
Centennial: The Yellow Apron
The epic mini-series Centennial continues with an episode called The Yellow Apron. The name comes from a dance that is done at an annual rendezvous for mountain men. This is the place where the estranged partners, Pasquinel, played with brilliance by Robert Conrad, and Alexander McKeag, played …
Rachael Ray TV Talk Show
Rachael Ray TV Talk Show is by far the best so far right now for me, besides Ellen. There is just too many good things about this talk show that I really like, and especially when it has something to do with cooking and interviewing celebrities.
Rachael Ray TV Talk …
Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life
…and the day was finally here, THEY ARE OUT! I know there are many people, or I better say girls, who are Gilmore Girls fans and that they were waiting for this moment with bathed breath, but some non-that-much-fans did the same. I like this TV show very much but …
True Blood Episode 1: Strange Love
The first scene of the episode was great as far as letting the watcher know what the premise of the story is and gives a great pipe in for the turning plot. Two curious kids, a gas station, and monsters are a great way to start a scary …
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 …
Chandler Bing
There are quite a few episodes whereby we see the Friends cast imitating Chandler Bing. He is one of the most weird and quirkiest of Friends’ cast character yet, and he is so charmingly sweet. And also the fact that Monica always is wanting to give him ‘face’ …
Beast Wars - Nemesis Part Two
Beast Wars - Nemesis Part Two is the final episode of the series and in several ways, it is also one of the most disappointing episodes of the series. I positively hated how several characters were killed off in this episode simply because they “needed to be” since the …
