M*A*S*H: The Nurses
M*A*S*H: The Nurses is a great episode, and it’s one I’ve always remembered from it’s original air date back in 1976. It’s extra hot in Korea, and tempers are short, especially between Major Margaret Houlihan (Loretta Swit) and her nurses. Things escalate when Margaret finds her nurses …
Banana Split Show
There have been a lot of things going on over the television, new shows coming up, and old ones suddenly stopped being shown; Well I am here to actually talk about the new funny show they have at ABS-CBN company. This show is called Banana Split; starred by 5 …
The Twilight Zone: Young Man’s Fancy TV Show
Now The Twilight Zone: Young Man’s Fancy is quandary. What can you say about a mommy’s boy who never grows up? It’s bad enough when he stays attached to her apron when she’s alive, but to cling on when she’s dead, is an entirely other story.
From May …
Roseanne
Roseanne is probably the worst TV show I have ever seen. It’s about a fat slob named Roseanne. She is not funny, her voice is annoying, and she is not pretty. How anyone could find this show funny is beyond me. Every time I see the show starting up I …
Reflections on Spock featurette
I really enjoyed the Reflections on Spock featurette which was done towards the end of 2003. It has some very interesting reflections by Leonard Nimoy, who played Spock. What caught my attention early on was Nimoy discussing his book, I am Not Spock and the controversy that …
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
I have really got into these reality series shows. Being in the UK we will be behind in the scheduling of the programmes, but I have now managed to see all series of the New York ones, as well as the Miami and some of the Jersey ones. This …
Star Trek: The Eye of the Beholder TV Show
I get a kick out of Star Trek: The Eye of the Beholder. The basic premise isn’t really a new one, but I like the way it was done in this 1974 animated outing. What happens is that while on a rescue mission, Kirk and his landing …
Stargate SG-1: Insiders
Stargate SG-1: Insiders is the first of four shows during the season that is without Michael Shanks. As the star of the show, Shanks had learned from the former star, Richard Dean Anderson, and he’d negotiated for these weeks off so he could be home for two important …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Cyborg TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Cyborg is the fourth episode of the season two and features guest stars Victor Buono as Tabor Ulrich and Brooke Bundy as Gundi, who while pretty isn’t really exactly how she seems when we first meet her. I’ve liked Bundy …
The Flintstones
The Flintstones is a cartoon family living in the Stone Age. The Flintstones family consists of Fred, the dad, Wilma, his wife, and Pebbles, their daughter. In the beginning, there is no Pebbles and I think that the episodes with Wilma pregnant are some of the best of The …
America’s Toughest Jobs
A few weeks ago, in August of 2008, NBC started airing “America’s Toughest Jobs”. Essentially, they are taking jobs that have been done as reality shows on other channels, like the Discovery Channel and the History Channel, and putting them together with other ‘tough jobs’ to challenge the …
The Twilight Zone: Caesar and Me TV Show
Goodness, it’s another show about ventriloquists and their dummies. I just do not like these episodes of any show, and it’s a letdown to see one on a good show like The Twilight Zone. Never the less, that’s what viewers got in April 1964 with the episode …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Let’s Play Poison TV Show
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Let’s Play Poison aired in February 1992, and to be honest, I thought it was going to be a lot better than it proved to be. In fact, what began with some potential for real intrigue and storytelling ended up being a huge disappointment …
Farmfoods (Store)
Farmfoods might not be a one stop supermarket, but it does offer a great deal of items that’ll substantially help you stock your freezer for a surprisingly low cost.
If you haven’t heard of or visited the store before; Farmfoods offers predominately frozen food, from deserts and ice cubes to …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Revenger, the third outing for the fifth season of this half hour, black and white western starring Richard Boone, has Paladin going to Yuma, Arizona. To get there, he takes a stagecoach, and it’s a crowded ride. I’m not sure I’ve …

MacGyver: The Coltons
Finally, the entire Colton clan is together in the same episode of MacGyver. Over the last couple of years, all four Coltons have been introduced, but no two have ever been in the same episode. In fact, the only repeat was Frog, their bulldog. The reason …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 16 - Disguises
Emerald Point N.A.S. is an ensemble series and there are some pieces of that ensemble that I like better than others. Glenn Matthews is a wimp of a character, and I’m so sick of him; in fact, I wish he wasn’t part of that ensemble. As portrayed …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Jenny TV show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Jenny opened at the Hotel Carlton in San Francisco where our hero, Paladin (Richard Boone), is coming to a lady’s aid once again. The lovely lady has the misfortune to have numerous $20 bills which, as it turned out, were distributed in Denver …
The Twilight Zone: Dust TV Show
When I saw this for the first time again recently, I didn’t remember it at all. The show in question is The Twilight Zone: Dust, and I say ‘again’, because I watched The Twilight Zone religiously as a kid, and in the decades of reruns, there isn’t a …
Star Trek: This Side of Paradise TV Show
Star Trek: This Side of Paradise is one of the most well known episodes in which we see another side of the rational and logical Mr. Spock, played so aptly by Leonard Nimoy. It’s safe to say that this Spock is not like the normal Vulcan we see. …
Devices and Desires - Part 4

Grey’s Anatomy Season 5 Episode 23 Here’s to the Future
Here’s to the Future is the first part in the two-hour finale for Season 5 of Grey’s Anatomy. And if you’re a fan of the series, you would know that season finales are usually one of the best episodes in the series.
The episode revolved around Izzie and her …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Three - No Weenies Allowed
This is absolutely one of my favorite Spongebob Squarepants Episodes of all times, and we own it on boxed collection on DVD because we watch so much Spongebob at our house. I started to collect the seasons on DVD when we had kids, just because it keeps them happy …
Stargate Atlantis: Enemy at the Gate
And that’s all they wrote for Stargate Atlantis with this last episode, Enemy at the Gate. After just five seasons, the science fiction series was shown the door with a promise for a made-for-DVD movie that to this date shows little sign of being realized; at least, not …
Destination Truth TV Episode: Ghosts of Petra/The Lizard Man
Hmm, I ended up staying up a bit later than normal to watch Destination Truth last night (I paused live television while putting the kids to bed). But, I’m starting to wonder if it was really worth it.
I still love this show. But, last night’s episode was a bit …
That 70s Show TV Episode: Surprise, Surprise
I missed the first couple minutes of the That 70s Show episode entitled Surprise, Surprise. But, even with missing the first part of it, I saw enough to know this was a pretty funny episode.
Basically, there are two main stories in this episode. First, Kelso ends up sleeping with …
Swift Justice with Nancy Grace TV Series
Swift Justice with Nancy Grace: what a ridiculous excuse for Nancy Grace to get more air time. That’s the word that keeps coming to mind — ridiculous.
With her crumpled nose, Grace wears the same outfit, a black and white combination pant suit, as she bulldogs her way around …
Super Mario World - Ghosts ‘R’ Us
Super Mario World - “Ghosts ‘R’ Us” is an episode that prominently features one of the video game’s most memorable and challenging aspects: the ghost house. Not only does this episode feature a ghost house, but it also has a Magikoopa, a type of villain introduced in the video …
Stargate SG-1: Dominion
Dominion is the second to the last episode of Stargate SG-1 and frankly, it bored me stiff. I don’t like the Ori, don’t care about Adria, don’t like Ba’al, and am just extremely frustrated by Daniel not being Daniel, not to mention all the times he’s been put …
Stargate: Infinity: Who Are You? TV Show
It’s a common piece of advice, a cliche even, that things aren’t always what they seem. That’s the first lesson of Stargate: Infinity: Who Are You? which is the children’s animated version of the hit science fiction series, Stargate SG-1, only there’s very little that really resembles that …
The Twilight Zone: To Serve Man TV Show
The Twilight Zone: To Serve Man is in the top 5 of all episodes for —˜the best of the series’. It’s a well acted, well put together, and stunning story involving what might happen should Earth be the recipient of visitors from another planet.
We’ve seen in done many …
Stargate SG-1: Singularity
Stargate SG-1: Singularity from season one is just a great one to watch. One of the main lures is the friendship of Daniel Jackson and Samantha Carter (Michael Shanks and Amanda Tapping). It’s one of the shows where they really get to work together a lot and let …
Devices and Desires - Part 2
Part 2 of Devices and Desires continues the murder mystery that is the center of this P.D. James based novel. As always, it’s Roy Marsden starring as the intelligent and intuitive Inspector Adam Dalgliesh. The neat part about this particular story is that Dalgliesh is actually on …
Doctor Who: Season 1, Episode 1: Rose
After hearing so many people talk about it, and seeing that it was on Netflix’s instant watch, I decided to finally check out Dr. Who. I managed to catch an episode on BBC a while back and it piqued my interest, so I decided to start from the …
Gilligan’s Island - Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow TV Show
I have to say this episode is quite fun to watch. Gilligan has to be the versatile character since he has different roles to play. Gilligan roles yes, but he performed each role of old man, bald man and Gilligan himself. There was that nagging unrealistic use of crude …
Beast Wars - Code of Hero
Beast Wars - Code of Hero is, quite easily, my favorite episode of the series and one of my favorite episodes of any show period. This episode is amazingly powerful and sends a powerful message to, admittedly a relatively young audience, although the show can really be appreciated and …
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 22 (Anime)
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 22 has Aramaki arrest the DEA Head while investigating the supposed reappearance of his brother while the government moves against Section 9 after they are exposed and go after the Major.
This episode was really well done. The plot was good …
America’s Next Top Model: Patricia Field TV Show
America’s Next Top Model: Patricia Field was the 2nd show of the current high fashion season. The show was the one where the models receive makeovers, which usually sends a couple of them over the edge from the anxiety of having their hair cut or colored.
One gal enlists …
TV: Weeds, Season 6
The average fan of “Weeds,” tangled in the murky abyss of a dyspeptic and almost certainly unnecessary sixth season of the Showtime dramedy, will feel about a trillion miles away from everything/anything that made the show enjoyable to begin with. But this is OK, …
Grey’s Anatomy Season 6 Episode 16
After watching a bunch of not so great episodes of Grey’s it was nice to see one that had a good vibe to it. Funny, light hearted and warm and this was that episode, well up until the end anyway where it got sad.
What was cool about this …
Eureka Seven episode 50
Now with a thunderous cry from the heavens and convoys of angels rushing overhead, we now have finally reached the end of the epic and long saga solely known as Eureka Seven. With an overcast sky, we are forced to accept the truth despite what we would like or …
Tales of the Gold Monkey: Tales of the Gold Monkey: Part 2
Tales of the Gold Monkey, the pilot, Part 2 concludes the pilot, which surprised me by holding my interest.
As Jake Cutter, Stephen Collins has the right amount of swagger, heart, and courage. I love his relationship with his dog, Jack, and the blooming emotions he’s getting with Sarah …

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 …
