No Ordinary Family: No Ordinary Ring TV Show
I’m still trying out No Ordinary Family but I’m not sure that I’ll be sticking with the full season. There are elements of the show that I like. It’s different in that it’s not a family gaining super powers who then all become super heroes. Rather, …
The Virginian: The Good-Hearted Badman TV Show
Pete Duel guest starred as The Good-Hearted Badman in this sixth season episode of The Virginian. Back when this show aired originally in February 1968, Duel was using the original spelling of his surname, Deuel. While his brother Geoff continued to use that spelling, Pete changed it …
Dawson’s Creek
There is no show that depicts adolescent innocence and first loves quite like Dawson’s Creek. Even though the show is no longer on the air, I still enjoy watching re-runs as I relive the experiences of the Dawson, Joey, Pacey trio that reminds me so much of my teenage …
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: Zsa Zsa Gabor TV Show
It’s a Woman of the Week for The Dean Martin Comedy Hour. That’s an unusual occurrence as there really weren’t that many women celebrated in these roasts that took place over the years. The lucky female was none other than Hungarian Zsa Zsa Gabor. Naturally, the …
The Real Ghostbusters episode 23: The Old College Spirit
This is another episode where I could see what the writers were going for, but the execution was lacking. It opens with a fraternity being framed by ghosts for various pranks. They decide to hire the Ghostbusters to take care of it. Venkman’s against it initially, …
Here Come the Brides - The Complete First Season DVD set
I was so thrilled to receive Here Come the Brides - The Complete First Season DVD set recently. This family drama is one of my all time favorite shows, and one of its stars, Bobby Sherman, is one of what I call my core group actors. My …
Snoops: Twice Dead TV Show
Margaret Avery and Stephen Elliott guest starred in the Twice Dead episode of the short-lived TV series called Snoops. In fact, it didn’t even last an entire season. I’m not surprised because I was pretty bored by the whole thing. The only unique thing about this …
American Horror Story: Asylum Episode 1
Though American Horror Story: Asylum is a fairly popular show, I wanted to warn against it. The show is full of sexual content, and violence. After watching the first episode it is clear that the show relies more on shock value than storyline or suspense building techniques. Think more …

Blacke’s Magic: Address Unknown
It’s the guest stars who make Blacke’s Magic: Address Unknown work for me. They are an interesting collection of talent. Sam Groom, who has from time to time been confused with the more successful Sam Elliott, has a nice role here as Dale Richmond, friend of Alexander …
CSI Season 2 Episode 14 The Finger
This is one of my most favourite episodes in the show. It is episodes such as these that make it absolutely fantastic and gets you addicted to it. I loved the plot, it is full of discoveries and twists and is completely unexpected. It was not much about the …

Family Guy: Mr. Griffin Goes to Washington
I’m not sure I was a big fan of last night’s episode of Family Guy, Mr. Griffin Goes to Washington. It was OK but didn’t seem to be as well written as other episodes.
I did like the plot a bit, Peter’s company is bought out by a cigarette company …

House MD
I am sure, its not because I am a nurse by profession that’s why I enjoy this TV series a lot! I mean, yes, there are a lot of medical
jargons used in their scripts, but it’s not the medical terms which would entice the watchers to anticipate the …

Smallville: Lazarus TV Show
The season ten premier of Smallville was called Lazarus, and it was a good one.

Law & Order SVU: Streetwise
I was watching some repeats of Law & Order SVU last night and saw one I’ve seen before but have never seen the entire episode before “Streetwise.”
This is a halfway interesting episode because it starts out with an apparent rape and murder at a park that turns out to …
Adam-12: Log 165: Once a Cop
I really get a kick out of this 1971 episode of Adam-12 called Log 165: Once a Cop. This is the 19th episode from season three and it has some very entertaining story elements, including the fact that our heroes go on foot patrol for a while, something …

Caprica 1×01
So i just watched this, and felt like giving reviewing it. First of all, this is no Battlestar. I felt it was dry, boring, and very uninteresting. Premieres should start off with a bang and build your excitement to continue watching the rest of the series, and I found …
Columbo: Swan Song TV Show
Swan Song is a truly memorable episode of Columbo because it’s part musical. Well, not in the purest sense, but the main guest star is country legend, Johnny Cash. Cash plays Tommy Brown, a singer and husband of Edna Brown. Edna is played by the dynamic …
M*A*S*H: Mr. and Mrs. Who?
M*A*S*H: Mr. and Mrs. Who? is pretty funny. From the eighth season of this hit comedy, Major Charles Emerson Winchester III (David Ogden Stiers) returns from spending time in Tokyo. He had such a good time that he doesn’t remember a thing. Thus he’s thrown when …
CSI Miami
CSI Miami comes on every Monday at 9pm. While I didn’t begin watching the show until later into its run, it became one of my favorites rather quickly. Watching the show can be confusing even if you don’t miss an episode though. I don’t know why but sometimes figuring out …
Sanctuary: Next Tuesday
Amanda Tapping first came to my attention as Sam Carter in Stargate SG-1. After ten seasons and two movies, she has moved on to this new science fiction series, Sanctuary. Actually, this show began on the internet with webisodes while SG-1 was still in production. The …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Singer

Stargate SG-1: Crusade
Stargate SG-1: Crusade is definitely not a favorite show. The biggest problem with it is that Claudia Black is back as Vala, and that’s a sure sign of disaster. The horrid premise has her in the Ori galaxy using a device to contact the SGC, and in …

Entourage show
I watched a couple of shows, until I finally realized I don’t much like it. In fact, I don’t understand all the hype about this show. It’s shallow, the cast are like two bit actors who’ve never heard of acting workshops, and the storyline isn’t at all fantastic.
This show …
Pokemon (TV Show) - Electric Shock Showdown (Episode)

The Rachel Ray show
I hate the Rachel ray show. It feels like I am watching reruns of the Oprah or the Tyra Bank shows only the host is a chef who was unknown to the public just a few years ago! I think that everybody should stick to what he does best …
