TV Reviews
That Girl: Stocks and the Single Girl
Overall, I enjoyed That Girl: Stocks and the Single Girl from season four of this hit ABC series. It had some great laughs in it, and it entertained me fully for the full half-hour or so. That said, while this is a different take on the rich …
The Cleveland Show “Once upon a Tyne in New York”
The Cleveland Show episode “Once upon a tyne in new york” aired last night, 3/21/2010. The plot centers around Cleveland Brown whose new wife is complaining that he has let himself go since they got married 3 months ago. Cleveland talks to his friends at the …
Chasing Mummies: Meltdown TV Show
Chasing Mummies: Meltdown was the latest episode to air in this show which follows famed Egyptian archaeologist Zahi Hawass as he conducts his business. Just saying everything that this man does would take an entire review. He gets around.
There is one thing that really comes out in …
Undercover Boss: DirecTV TV Show
Undercover Boss: DirecTV featured Mike White, CEO of this satellite company.
Now this is probably the first time I’ve watched with skepticism and that’s because I’ve heard so much negative publicity about DirecTV. Our local newscast has done numerous stories about DirecTV’s hard nose line about contracts. For example, …
Sea Hunt: Underwater Unit TV Show
From August 1959, Sea Hunt: Underwater Unit is a second season outing of this half hour, black and white adventure show that circulates around Lloyd Bridges’ character of Mike Nelson, ex-Navy frogman who is considered one of the best skin divers out there. I mention all of this …
Hawaii Five-O - The First Season DVD set
The first season of Hawaii Five-O is offered in slim pack cases, with two disks in each jacket, except for the last one. That’s a total of seven disks. Now I have some concerns about these slim packs because there are some that can actually damage DVDs …
Channel News Asia
Channel News Asia is a good TV station program. Actually this local channel in my country is called Channel News Asia, and this is one of my hot favorite TV channels of all time. I think across the continents, perhaps people might be able to access this, though …
Stargate SG-1: Zero Hour
I’ve often felt that the powers that be at SG-1 started season eight with a few good shows and decided to use all of them, even if the timing didn’t necessarily make sense. This episode, Zero Hour, seems like it should have been the starter once Jack was …
Quantum Leap: season one “The Right Hand of God” television show
Quantum Leap is a science fiction series that aired in the 1980s to early 1990s. Each story stands alone, there is very little arc. The premise of the series is that a scientific experiment has propelled the soul/person of a scientist into the bodies of other people …
Wagon Train: The Sam Spicer Story
Another Wagon Train episode from season seven was The Sam Spicer Story, which guest starred Ed Begley and Clu Gulager. The story focuses on teenager, Barnaby West, as played by Michael Burns. He’s a recurring character on the show, appearing in many of the episodes almost like a …
Hawaii Five-O: Face of the Dragon
Hawaii Five-O: Face of the Dragon is part medical drama and part spy caper. Combined, Hawaii Five-O: Face of the Dragon just doesn’t do a whole lot for me. I never have liked the opening scene. It sets up the drama naturally enough, but it’s just …
Monster Episode 13 (Anime)
Monster Episode 13 begins with Tenma and Dieter go to a small village and they meet the town doctor after Dr. Tenma helps a man after he was hit by a car. Dr. Schumann asks Tenma for help around the village and tries to talk to a woman …
M*A*S*H: Dr. Winchester and Mr. Hyde
M*A*S*H: Dr. Winchester and Mr. Hyde is one of those shows that I want to like, but because I love animals I have a hard time really enjoying it. This is even though it all turns out okay. It’s just the thought that perturbs me.
The comedy portion …
The Glenn Beck Program
Fox News gets a lot of flak nowadays. Oh, I know it’s biased, but people react as if the idea of a biased news source is something new. Furthering the irony is the fact that the people who complain about Fox the loudest are the ones who …
Family Guy: I Dream of Jesus
Last night one of our local channels aired a re-run of a Family Guy episode that is one of my daughter’s favorites (yes, I know I shouldn’t be letting her watch it but, if she doesn’t learn about this stuff from Family Guy, where will she learn about it?); …
The Fugitive: The Cage
The Fugitive: The Cage is not a big favorite of mine. Richard Kimball is in a tiny fish town working when there’s a case of the plague. Risking the wrath of his employer and facing re-capture, he can’t walk away from what he knows to be deadly, …
Prison break season 2 episode 10-rendezvous
Prison break season 2 episode 10-rendezvous
This was a nice episode. Just as the rest of the episodes, it was thrilling and adrenaline pumping. The show is a great example of some good TV writing. This one was just a little bit funnier than the rest.
In this episode the events …
M*A*S*H: Soldier of the Month
There are some very watchable moments in M*A*S*H: Soldier of the Month from the fourth season of this great comedy series. Major Frank Burns (Larry Linville) is directed to choose a Soldier of the Month who will then get a week’s pass to Tokyo. Naturally, everyone wants …
Calefare
I totally wish that I could really fall in love with the TV program titled, Calefare. This is a local TV program or rather a sitcom of around a half hour. It is a debut actually so when the promotional ads were on, I was like totally in …
Law & Order SVU TV Episode: Prodigy
Synopsis: Detectives need to figure out who brutally murdered a man and woman and then later decapitated the female victim? Was it a young man with a high IQ but murderous tendencies or was it someone else close to her?
What I liked about this episode: I love the fact …
Friends Episode: Phoebe the Massage Assistant
Friends Episode: Phoebe the Massage Assistant is really super funny, hilarious and there are just no words to describe how truly funny she is. I think she is really original and in Friends, she goes through so many paths of careers and the part where she works as a …
MacGyver: A Prisoner of Conscience
Season one of MacGyver rolls on with A Prisoner of Conscience, another episode with some kind of Russian focus. I guess it was a sign of the 80’s — lots of Russian types of stories. Dana Elcar is again in the show as Pete Thornton, and …
NCIS season 6 Episode 1 Last Man Standing
NCIS is a detective show about a Navy Crime Investigative Service. So what they actually do is to resolve the crime cases that have anything to do with the Navy. I must say that from most of these crime investigative shows this is my favourite one.
The last season finished …
Fox News Channel
Fox News Channel is an interesting phenomenon to watch, if anything. Famous for their slogan “Fair and Balanced,” they are anything but. Bias resonates through almost every word iterated by one of the Channel’s many columnists. The half-hour news reports are fairly standard fare, but the …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Terrible Toys TV Show
From season three, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Terrible Toys was the fifth episode of this series which stars Richard Basehart and David Hedison. One of the guest stars is Francis X. Bushman who plays the mysterious Old Man in the fog. His bit …
M*A*S*H: Temporary Duty
M*A*S*H: Temporary Duty is a ridiculous show that is half comedy and half drama. While the drama is good, the comedy doesn’t make me laugh at all. The dialog in this part of the show was poorly written and the character of Captain Roy Dupree was over …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Three - One Krab’s Trash
Mr. Krabs starts to dig threw other people’s trash to hold a sale and make some money. I think that is so funny because it just goes to show how cheap he really is. He convinces Spongebob to buy a really ugly hat he found in the …
House : Deception
In this episode Dr. Foreman is put in charge of Houses for three week department. It is hard to tell if House is upset by this or just likes toying with Foreman and Cutty but he continue to cause trouble through the entire episode, calling in Foreman for every …
Stargate SG-1: Lockdown
Stargate SG-1: Lockdown is one of the best episodes of season eight; in fact, of all of the latter seasons of the show. It’s full of good stuff.
In this story, Anubis has made his way to Earth and ends up taking over different people’s bodies. The problem …
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.
One of the ones we watched was a classic; Charlie Brown Christmas. It’s not …
Pretty Little Liars TV Show
Drama, action, mystery. Pretty Little Liars has everything you would want in a in an hour long show. I’ve found this series abosolutely addicting and am so excited for the premier of the second season this January 3rd. Watch just part of one episode and you’ll see why. Not …
Top Gear tv show
I have been watching the TV show “top gear” for a while now and it is one of my favorite shows on TV. Even if you aren’t interested in cars or racing you can be entertained by this show. Most car shows on TV are very factual and …
Stargate SG-1: Upgrades
Stargate SG-1: Upgrades is often described as just two little words — Tok’ra Spice. As I’ve said before, with a new producer at the helm, the show was no longer the great show of exploration and character dynamics. Now it was a soap opera, and early in …
In the Flesh (BBC Three Drama)
Just a few years ago vampires were all the rage in pop culture, especially with everything related to teenagers. It all started with Stephenie Meyer’s series of books “Twilight”, which flew off the shelves, and continued to a blockbuster movie series that starred Hollywood’s hottest young elite. Soon came …
The Virginian: Two Men Named Laredo TV Show
The Virginian: Two Men Named Laredo isn’t too bad to watch. It actually was unusual in that the 90-minute western dealt with mental illness. At the center of that was Fabian, who showed some acting chops in his portrayal of Eddie aka: Josh Laredo. He joins …
The Vampire Diaries Season 2 Episode 1: “The Return”
When I last saw the little town of Mystic Falls Virginia last season of The Vampire Diaries, the townspeople were trying to pick up the pieces after a vampire unveiling turned sour, killing not only vampires but humans as well.
Elena Gilbert had just saved her vampire boyfriend Stefan and …
Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 8
Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 8 is one of the most fascinating episodes I have ever seen out of all the episodes so far. It is titled the futures end part one and I cannot wait to watch part two tomorrow after seeing how the first part leaves …
Psych TV Episode: Sixty Five Million Years Off
Synopsis: Shawn and Gus investigate the murder of a paleontologist who appears to have been killed by a dinosaur bite.
What I liked about this episode: This is a classic episode that shows what made this series great and will make you miss the good old days if you see …
CHiPs The Complete First Season DVD Set
I’m very glad I’ve added the CHiPs The Complete First Season DVD Set to my collection. The show stars Erik Estrada, Larry Wilcox, and Robert Pine, among others, and is about a unit of the California Highway Patrol. The shows are a hour long and are mostly …
House: Maternity
I’ve seen dozens of episodes of the show House but one of the most depressing episodes is the one entitled “Maternity.”
I’m an expectant parent so any show that involves sick babies is going to hit a nerve. This episode goes all out, creating an epidemic at the hospital involving …
Space Toon, Indonesia
I think when I watched this Space Toon television programs, it was still somewhat new. They were the first time that have children channel in Indonesia. Although, the other television sender also have some children programs as well, but it’s not for the whole day. There was certain time …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Graveyard of Fear TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Graveyard of Fear is the 19th show of year two and guest stars Robert Loggia as Ames and Marian ‘McCargo’ Moses as Karyl, who claims to be over 200 years old, thanks to something called vita-synthesis.
Following are a few notes on this …
The Dick Van Dyke Show
Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve appreciated the values and clean comedy presented in circa 1960’s comedy series, “The Dick Van Dyke Show”. I watched it for years on Nick At Nite as a child, and still enjoy it on DVD today. I want to …
Star Trek: The Menagerie: Part I TV Show
What do you do when you have a perfectly good pilot that has never been seen by a TV series’ audience? You incorporate it into the show the viewers are watching. That’s what Gene Roddenberry did back in 1966. His first pilot for Star Trek, the …
Warehouse 13
When I was watching Eureka TV continuously I was seeing commercials for Warehouse 13 TV show. I don’t know why but I got the idea that this show was a horror science fiction one and I wasn’t very interested in it. I like science fiction, Eureka is one of …
Doctor Who Season Three, BBC Series
Doctor Who, the series that follows the nameless Time Lord known simply as “the Doctor” as he travels through time and space, reached a third season during the lifetime of the Doctor’s tenth incarnation (he regenerates into a new body when he dies, this making the tenth body he …
30 Rock: Blind Date
I’m starting to get a feel for 30 Rock, but I’m not sure I like it. It feels more like a skit from “Saturday Night Live” than a TV series. The things that happen are generally absurd, the comedy just a little too far and the character surreal.
That isn’t …
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 …
Tales of the Gold Monkey: The Sultan of Swat
I said in my review for this show that the adventure series has lost some of its shine from its first ten episodes or so, and that’s really true. There’s a stretch of a few shows here, all in a row, that are just so-so. This is …
Dan Abrahms
There is one news reporter who really has moved on up and rightly so. This is Dan Abrahms. At one time he was on Court TV. Many times he appears on news on NBC channel 4. However his greatest show is on MSNBC called The …
