Wagon Train: The Sam Darland Story
I was a little surprised by Wagon Train: The Sam Darland Story because I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. This season six episode reminds me a lot of Boys Town and Father Flanigan, though there isn’t any connection. It’s just the idea that makes …
ABC’s 25 Days of Christmas
Perhaps I’m going crazy, but at the beginning of December I remember seeing ABC advertising like crazy how they were going to be having Christmas shows every day of the month until Christmas. And then, after the first couple of days I keep watching them every day for …
The Brady Bunch
I grew up watching “The Brady Bunch” and probably know the plot of every joyously corny episode. The great thing is that, due to the advent of cable television, other generations are able to enjoy this show, too, and I can tune in and satisfy my need for some …
Stargate SG1: Beachhead

Ed Marinaro had the title guest starring role in 1987’s Private Eye: Nickey the Rose. He’s a mobster type of guy from circa 1956, living high and with a high profile lady on his arm. That would be Rita Marlowe, as played by Susan Blakely. She’s a …
The Simpsons
“The Simpsons” is one of the animated series first aired by the cable television channel FOX which I have and will always consider as a classic. I have seen many popular culture references to it in movies and even other cartoons such as “South Park.” However, I think what …

Hoarders tv show
On the channel TLC, I watched one of their shows that come on called Hoarders. It’s a quite interesting show about people who collect just about any thing and everything in their house. There homes get very cluttered and make for unlivable housing conditions. In the episode they …

Medical Comedy: Scrubs
Scrubs is a medical comedy that has held my interest from the beginning. It takes on an easy going, humorous, and sometimes plain crazy look into the lives of the doctors of Sacred Heart hospital. There’s Elliot: a woman just trying to fit in and let loose …
The Cosby Show. A TV Sitcom
For those of us who grew up during the late 1980’s and early 1990’s there is no more memorable sitcom than “The Cosby Show”. To me “The Cosby Show” was a big part of my childhood and a sitcom that still reigns as my favorite sitcom of all …
As The World Turns TV Show
I used to watch all of the CBS soaps everyday. Now that my life has gotten a lot busier I have focused on just watching As The World Turns. As The World Turns is a great soap for younger people in their late teens and early twenties and has …

In That Girl: Break a Leg, Ann Marie’s friend lands a part in a Broadway show and asks Ann to be her understudy. Sally Kellerman plays Sandy Stafford, who doesn’t quite no how to react when all kinds of calamities threaten her appearance on the stage. She …
The Twilight Zone: Black Leather Jackets TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Black Leather Jackets is a show that actually misleads a little bit. I always go into to this show and think it’s going to be one thing and then it turns out to be another. The Black Leather Jacket titles can really spin you …
Thriller: The Hungry Glass TV Show
Boris Karloff hosted the Thriller program with this entry, The Hungry Glass, airing in 1961. It’s a mystery tale full of intrigue. It begins innocently enough with a happy couple arriving in a seaside time to move in to a nice home. What they don’t know …

Charmed Episode 1: Something Wicca This way comes
I am really a big Charmed fan. It is among the TV shows which runs for quite a number of years. And it is the only TV show which I’ve always watched and never missed any episode, not a single one. In the first few seasons, Shannon Doherty played …
The-N
The-N is a very popular channel for young adults. Nickelodeon is actually what made the-n but it’s more grown up. The-N has changed a lot since it first came out. first of all it used to only be at night, from six pm to six am, Noggin used to …

Fruits Basket Anime Series, 2011
Fruits Basket, released in 2011, is an absolutely adorable anime. Most anime are not appropriate for children because of adult themes. There isn’t any excessive cleavage or firearms incorporated into this anime series. I have to warn parents, however, that the heroine’s skirt does ride a bit low, there …
The 64th Annual Tony Awards TV Show
For me, The 64th Annual Tony Awards were not as wonderful as some reviewers I’ve read have made them out to be. I wasn’t enamored by Sean Hayes as they were. Perhaps it’s my tradition. It’s nothing against Hayes, but I wasn’t a fan of Will …
Star Trek: The Trouble with Tribbles TV Show
Star Trek: The Trouble with Tribbles is arguably the most popular episode in the history of Star Trek. The show is so entertaining and has a lot of humor within its hour. Tribbles, cute little white fur balls, are adorable. I own a couple myself.
The setup …
The 100, TV Show
I was recommended this show by a great friend of mine who is obsessed with it. I’ve being ignoring her for a while now, but I finally decided to watch it after she told me a little bit of what happened in an episode. This show is from CW, and …
Supernatural Season 2
Supernatural season 2 wasn’t nearly as good as the first season and it also wasn’t quite as good as some episodes in the third season, but it was still pretty good. The first season ended on a cliffhanger and the first episode picks up right where that one ended. …
Dancing with the Stars: S11, TV Theme Week Results TV Show
The results show for the TV Theme Week edition of Dancing with the Stars’ 11th season opened tonight with an attempt to set up that possible upset that would keep viewers tuned in for the full hour. They did this by starting with the two lowest scoring couples …
Charlie Brown Christmas
We ended up watching a couple Christmas specials last night since nothing else was on and because my daughter was able to stay up a bit because her school was cancelled for a snow day today.

Divorce court (Reality Series)
I have to admit that one of my guilty pleasures of daytime television is “Divorce Court”. I have never been married and I can only assume that going through a divorce is a difficult thing to go through; however, when I watch “Divorce Court” and see some of the …

Gilligan’s Island - Angel on the Island TV show
There are several references to angels in this episode. Not the real angels in white with wings but angels in reference to special people such as Ginger and her acting career and Mr. Howell. Mr. Howell refers himself to an angel with his wings clipped, in other words …
The Virginian: The Final Hour
The Virginian: The Final Hour was the last episode of the first season and personally, I think it was a poor choice of a season ender. Though the story was poignant, it was terribly downbeat. When a season ends, I want to feel excited about a show …
CSI: Las Vegas A space oddity
This is one of the latest episodes of CSI: Las Vegas. While I give it up for them for trying out something new, I didn’t really care much for this episode. Other than being completely different from other episodes, I didn’t really like anything about it. I thought it …
Project Runway
Every year, Project Runway tries to find challenges to trip up even its best designers. And, having the contestants design ring attire for the Divas of Monday Night Raw was definitely an interesting twist.
My wife does some sewing and I’ve seen her struggle with simple spandex outfits. So, trying …
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 2.20: To The Lighthouse
With only three episodes left, “To The Lighthouse” takes somewhat of a breather from the previous three episodes which were undeniably incredible, but still manages to keep things pretty interesting. It goes like this - Sarah, John, Cameron, and Derek are moving to another location in the desert to …
The Virginian: Ah Sing vs. Wyoming TV Show
It’s an interesting thing about The Virginian: Ah Sing vs. Wyoming, which was the 7th episode to air in season six. I had wondered if there had been any real context behind the story, a case of reality by taking a real situation and sticking it into an …
Gilmore Girls TV show
This show is full of quick, snappy dialogue with many references to literature and pop culture. It is about the relationship between Lorelai Gilmore and her daughter Rory. The show began with Rory’s entrance to Chilton high school, and progressed from there to Rory entering Yale University.
The two live …
Sherlock Holmes: The Case of Lady Beryl TV Show
From October 1954, Sherlock Holmes: The Case of Lady Beryl was the second episode of this vintage black and white series, but don’t let the age of the show fool you, it’s top notch Holmes and superb drama.
This episode actually begins by starting where the last show …
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 …
Best Of America By Horseback
You should watch Best of America by Horseback even if you aren’t a serious trail rider. You should watch Best of America by Horseback even if you don’t own a horse. Best of America by Horseback is such a cool program that features the best places to go to …
TV Show: The Amazing Race
The Amazing Race is one of my favourite shows. It’s a yearly series on CTV, Wednesdays at 7 pm central time. This season, teams have to travel across the world and follow the directions precisely to each task that they do. The winners at the end of the race …

Smallville: Odyssey
“Odyssey” is the first episode of season eight of Smallville. This is the first ever episode that did not feature the character of Lex Luthor. Although this is a huge blow to the show, at the least this episode shows that the writers are willing to introduce some …
The Prisoner: A. B. and C.
The Prisoner: A. B. and C. is more intriguing to me than the few other episodes I’ve seen thus far. It might be because it’s not so much the crazy FX or even The Village, but has as its setting a party scene, probably in London. The …
CSI AXN Cable Channel
I was not a fan of CSI from the beginning up until my uncle who, according to his wife was said to be a devotee of this program. In one of our conversations, she retorted “my husband never misses an episode of CSI and makes it a point to …
Hotel Erotica Cabo
Normally, I don’t watch late-night adult programming on HBO or the other premium movie channels we have. Maybe when I was in college or even when I was single. But, now that I’m married and have a child, it just seems immature. Besides, if I’m watching it alone instead …
That 70s Show: Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy
I haven’t watched too many of the later That 70s Show Episodes, so it was definitely an adventure watching the episode “Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy.”
The main story line of this one is kind of cute. You have Leo having a crush on Donna; something that leads to a …
The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 11: Excelsis Dei
Whereas last episode was overly convoluted, this one provides a plot complex enough to keep you invested, but not so much so that it becomes confusing. There are a lot of aspects at play here, but they all actually tie together whereas in the last episode it was …
