White Collar
Since Psych is in its mid-season break right now, my wife and I took the time to watch the series premiere of the show White Collar on Friday night.
It was much better than expected but there are some things I would definitely change.

Da Vincis Demons (tv series)
During the year I found a few series I started watching, but most of them were discovered by way of the internet. I actually found out about this one when it began advertising on the cable television channel, Starz, a little before the series Spartacus was set to have …
Sable: Mob
Let me say up front that this review definitely has spoilers about this series end that not everyone might want to read, so if you don’t want to know the specifics, you may want to bypass this one.
I’m really not sure what to say about Sable: Mob. It …
Stargate SG-1: Wormhole X-treme
In celebration of their one-hundredth episode, the powers that be at Stargate SG-1 produced a show that was a tribute to the people who put the show together, week after week. There are a host of cameos by the crew and background people who work on the show. …
Stargate SG-1: Cor-ai
Continuing on with season one of Stargate SG-1, the episode entitled Cor-ai has some fine moments in it.
The one thing that has always confused me about this episode, though, is just why Jack O’Neill is so snarky with Daniel Jackson. The two, along with Sam Carter, spend the …
The Twilight Zone: King Nine Will Not Return TV Show
Written by Rod Serling, I felt that The Twilight Zone: King Nine Will Not Return, which was this first show of the second season, was weak. It was bland and has always left me feeling disconnected and uninvolved. Even though there is that moment of ‘oh …
Hawaii Five-0: Ho’apono TV Show
Hawaii Five-0: Ho’apono was the latest episode of this crime drama to air. I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the opening, not because of the big chase scene that was part of it, but because they showed us a famous old war ship. I totally …
Two And A Half Men: Pinocchio’s Mouth
“Pinocchio’s Mouth” is the episode of Two And A Half Men on CBS originally airing on November 17, 2008. This was just an average episode with no really big laughs.
The overall premise was not all that funny. Basically, we know that Charlie is set in his ways. …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Three Sons
When watching Have Gun - Will Travel: Three Sons, I had to chuckle. The story revolves around an old man who some want to have declared insane and put away. He lives by himself with an owl named Jasper. The part that made me laugh is …
That Girl: That Senorita
There’s an odd thing that I noticed in That Girl: That Senorita. It’s the fifth season and while things began to ease up in the fourth season, in this one things are definitely looser in tone and style. It’s a sign of the times in which That …
CSI NewYork S4 E7
CSI New York Season 4 Episode 7- Commuted Sentences

Cinemax
I can’t believe how much cinemax has changed. I used to have it and I glad I don’t pay for it anymore. I had it free over the weekend and I don’t see why anybody would pay for this channel anymore, especially not a high price for it. I …
American Idiol
I started watching American Idol in their first season because I loved to hear people sing. I thought a show that would give the opportunity to an amazing singer, who might not have a chance of otherwise being discovered, was an excellent idea. I loved watching it every …
Gilligan’s Island - Hi Fi Gilligan TV Show
This episode is great! You know there is not even one dull moment in the whole show, full of surprising events that keeps you guessing what will happen next. It plays as more an outrageous show and yes is unrealistic, but still good. Gilligan of course gets into trouble, …
Lawrence Welk TV Treasures
It’s funny how we change as we age. As a young girl, I wanted nothing to do with The Lawrence Welk Show. I recall giving my mother and grandmother such grief over watching it. As I’ve aged, though, I like it more and more. …

MacGyver: Gold Rush
I love this episode, MacGyver: Gold Rush, because it features one of my favorite performers, Lee Patterson. Lee was one of the stars of Surfside Six in the sixties, but where I really grew to love his work was on the daytime drama, One Life to Live, …
Destination Truth: Haunted Forest/Alux
Last night was the first time I have taken the time to sit down and watch the series “Destination Truth.” I have to say it, the season premiere I watched “Haunted Forest/Alux” is one that has me wanting to watch it more often.
In this episode, the Destination Truth team …
Season 2 Real Chance of Love
I am ashamed. But I will admit that I do watch VH1’s “Real Chance of Love” Season 2. This is just one of those programs that you say is really stupid. But you can’t help but to watch anyway. At any rate, these two …
So You Think You Can Dance Canada
As I was impatiently waiting for the fall season to start, I made do with watching shows from Canada and Australia. So You Think You Can Dance Canada was ongoing and so I decided to watch this reality dance show.

Stargate SG-1: Bane
Stargate SG-1: Bane gives us a lot of big,huge, honkin’ bugs, as Jack O’Neill says. Opening scene is a hoot; I love it. Essentially, Teal’c gets stung and then has a really nasty reaction.
One of the pleasures of this episode is Tom McBeath as Harry Maybourne. …
Private Eye: Blue Hotel Part 1
Private Eye: Blue Hotel Part 1 is a remarkably engaging episode of this series, which is set back in the mid-to-late fifties. It stars Michael Woods as Jack Cleary, a one-time cop who is now a private eye. Working with him is Jack Betts, a young man …

Ghost Hunters: Fort Delaware
I ended up watching one more rerun of the show Ghost Hunters last night; “Fort Delaware” and have to admit that was pretty cool.
They visited the fort, which is located on an island and is rumored to have paranormal activity. I’m still not 100 percent convinced it is haunted …
America’s Got Talent: Semi-Finals Results Part 2 TV Show
I really haven’t enjoyed this season of America’s Got Talent. The talent has been decent, but I’ve so often disagreed with the judges. It’s a bit disheartening to see some of the insanity that goes on with the judging. I have no problem with America’s votes …
Home and Away Tv show
Home and Away is a great television show for all ages, however I would say it is mainly targeted at teenagers as most of the characters on the show are teenagers. I have watched this show for 13 years now, I first started when I was 16 years old. …
Mission: Impossible: My Friend, My Enemy TV Show
I loved the Mission: Impossible series when it first aired, though I admit that when some of the originals left the show, I stopped watching with regularity. The episode, My Friend, My Enemy, is from the fifth season when Leonard Nimoy was a regular, playing the role of …
Deadliest Catch
I have been watching “Deadliest Catch” on The Discovery Channel for several years now, and still enjoy every new season. With the recent death of the Cornelia Marie’s captain, Phil Harris, I find myself saddened that he won’t be around in future seasons of the show. I …

The Wendy Williams Television Talk Show
In a time when everyone from D-list celebrities to former supermodels has their own television talk shows, I find “The Wendy Williams Show” to be extremely refreshing. Every aspect of the show is fabulous- from its larger than life host Wendy Williams to the outrageous and super flamboyant …

Mr. Monk Gets Lotto Fever
As far as Monk episodes go, Mr. Monk Gets Lotto Fever was actually one of the worse ones I’ve seen.
While the side-plot of Natalie getting a job as television’s lotto girl was somewhat interesting, the reality was the show itself was a bit cruddy because there was really no …
The Cosby Show
I can remember faithfully watching The Cosby Show every Thursday night on NBC when I was little. I always loved it although I was too little to have much of a memory of the show. Now I watch the show every Monday through Friday at 10 and 10:30 in …
Simpsons - Donnie Fatso
What happened to the Simpsons who told an interesting story once a week? As the seasons go on, there have been fewer and fewer episodes where there has been any entertainment at all involved in the show. This episode is …
Fireball XL5: Hypnotic Sphere
Fireball XL5: Hypnotic Sphere is one of 39 episodes of this supermarionation puppet series from Gerry Anderson. What I enjoy is that the puppets really do have some great personalities. They’re pretty well rounded, all things considered.
In this show, there’s a neat scene where Professor Matt Matic …
