Columbo: A Friend in Deed TV Show
Directed by actor Ben Gazzara, who doesn’t appear in the show at all, Columbo: A Friend in Deed has always been one of the outings of this crime drama that I just don’t like. In the first place, none of the guest stars are appealing to me, especially …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Sammy Davis Jr. TV Show
The Man of the Hour was Sammy Davis Jr. on this Las Vegas taped edition of The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast. Unfortunately, it wasn’t as good as it could have been. I am a huge fan of Sammy’s. I loved his acting, his singing, and his …
All in the Family The Complete First Season
This is the season where it all began for the unforgettable and groundbreaking sitcom that forever changed the television landscape.

MLB TV Service
I just recently switched from satellite TV to MLB TV thinking it would be more convenient for watching games and I think it was a horrible choice. They released a beta version during spring training and I saw major issues with the connection and video quality that I figured …
MacGyver: Walking Dead
MacGyver: Walking Dead is definitely not a favorite of mine. In fact, I really don’t like much about it at all. In this show from season seven, a section of the neighborhood where Mac lives is called Little Haiti. The problem is that outcasts from Haiti are …
Ice Road Truckers: Convoy to Hell
Ice Road Truckers: Convoy to Hell was a bit on the calm side, which is unusual for this reality series which airs weekly on the History Channel. Usually, the show has plenty of spice, but for whatever reason, the action seemed a bit tame. Then again, sometimes …
Burn Notice Season 1
Burn Notice is one of those great shows that goes almost completely unnoticed until it’s cancelled and then suddenly the fans come out of the woodwork, wanting to know what happened to it. From the first time I saw a preview for the show, I knew I was going …
Grey’s Anatomy Season 1 Pilot Episode A Hard Day’s Night Out
The Pilot episode will probably be one of my favorite episodes ever. It’s usually like that for pilot episodes. If it’s great then the succeeding episodes will be great too, some good but a few will be better. And for Grey’s Anatomy, I can say that the pilot episode …

Mr. Monk and the Voodoo Curse
I got a chance to watch the new Monk episode Friday night “Mr. Monk and the Voodoo Curse.” It was somewhat interesting and pretty entertaining.

Home Improvement TV Episode: He Ain’t Heavy, He’s Irresponsible
Well, I had time to watch TV again at lunch today and sat down to watch a re-run of Home Improvement I remember seeing a while ago but didn’t remember much about.
This one, entitled He Ain’t Heavy, He’s Irresponsible, has Tim’s brother revealing that he is thinking about leaving …
Scrubs The Complete Seventh Season
This was not a bad season. So far, not my favorite, but definitely a good tie-in for what was done and what is to come. The fact that I continue to even watch Scrubs is proof enough that it is both clever, cute, and hilarious enough to win over …

House of Payne show

Everybody Loves Raymond: The Sneeze
Wow, that was one of the funniest episodes of any series I have ever watched. I haven’t watched the show Everybody Loves Raymond all that much but the episode that was on “The Sneeze” was absolutely hilarious.

Scrubs - TV Show - E4
If you are yet to watch the t.v sitcom Scrubs, then in my opinion you are really missing out. It was a show that took me ages to get round to making time for, but sometimes you have to sit down with shows like this and just give it …
Hunter: No Good Deed Ever Goes Unpunished TV show
Fred Dryer starred in Hunter, a show I watched occasionally when it was first run on television. This episode, No Good Deed Ever Goes Unpunished, was from season 5 and guest starred Louise Latham and John Anderson.
It begins with Dee Dee McCall (Stephanie Kramer) showing up late for …
Kekkaishi Episode 5 (Anime)
Kekkaishi Episode 5 has Yoshimori confronting the ghost of a pastry chief who won’t pass on to the next world.
This episode was pretty good and it explained more about the world of the Kekkaishi and how they operate, and it also introduced the Night Troops an organization that is …
Stargate: Infinity: Stones TV Show
Stargate: Infinity: Stones is a story that centers on Stacey, Major Gus Bonner’s niece. She’s a feisty, independent scientist. Actually, she’s probably a variation of Samantha Carter on Stargate SG-1, only with pink hair.
While on an alien world, she is given some special stones to wear as …
Here Come the Brides: Letter of the Law
The opening fight scene of Here Come the Brides: Letter of the Law has some choreography problems that distract from the big fight going on, but that’s a minor issue in this terrific western-type series about a trio of brothers and their logging business. The action takes place …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 13 - Hide and Seek

Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares
The other night Lyndsey and I watched an episode of Ramsey’s Kitchen nightmares which was based around a small family run restaurant called Morgan’s in Liverpool.
The restaurant was owned by a mother and her two daughters and used to be the mother’s antique shop before being converted into a …
Supernanny
I’ve only just recently begun to watch the reality show called Supernanny. Apparently, it was ABC’s answer to a Fox show about nannies. That show was said to be harsher and crueler, whereas this show is more centered on love. Since I never watched either show …
Warehouse 13 season 1 episode 5 Elements
This episode was based on a really great idea; a robe that makes you walk trough the walls. Isn’t that an interesting artefact? I really find it interesting although I am quite sure it would be used for bad purposes if it existed.
Calaudia, the girl who kidnapped Artie in …
Monster Episode 6
Monster Episode 6 begins with Dr. Tenma going to a local newspaper reporter, hoping to find out where Anna Liebert is and searching for clues while Nina keeps receiving messages from a mysterious stranger and sees a man whose face is familiar to her.

House MD is a show about a team of doctors that diagnose illnesses that other doctors can’t. This is a great show for a variety of reasons.
The actors in this are superb. Hugh Laurie is wonderful as quirky, grumpy House and his love interests Cameron and Cuddy …
Invisible man
This is an older show that was on TV in 2000 and 2001 and it had 2 seasons. I remember watching that show about 8 years ago and I really liked it but I saw maybe 10 episodes all together. Now I found this show online and I’ve already …
The Simpsons: Marge Gamer
I finally got to see the Simpsons episode “Marge Gamer” last night and thought it was hilarious.
The whole storyline about Lisa taking up soccer and then getting mad when Homer, who is serving as a referee, ejects her for faking fouls was a bit lame. But, I loved the …
Mr. Bean TV series
I was able to watch a re-run of the show in the Disney Channel last week. It still made me laugh my heart out. But nothing compares to the first time that you’ve seen Mr. Bean do his crazy antics. I …
Stargate SG-1: Reckoning Part 1
Stargate SG-1: Reckoning Part 1 is another one of those shows that I have a lot of conflicting feelings about. In fact, that’s the case with all of the remaining season eight episodes. It’s a storyline that I don’t believe in and didn’t enjoy, although there are …
Living Single show
Sometimes when I watch television, which is rare now of days when I have the internet for that, I like to see shows that they just don’t put on TV anymore. Living Single is definitely one of those shows that makes me feel nostalgic, like I just wish there …

American Dad show
This show is brought to us by the same people that brought us Family Guy. And like Family Guy, it is a gratuitously vulgar show with little comedic value that I cannot understand why it is on my television set.
Really, what is funny about this show? I’ve …
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Thirty Hours
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Thirty Hours is one of the better episodes of this animal adventure series. It has a lot of basic hurt-comfort elements to it, and that’s a style of TV show I tend to enjoy, even I don’t like the series overall.
On the plus side …
M*A*S*H: Promotion Commotion
It’s time for the enlisted men to be considered for promotion in M*A*S*H: Promotion Commotion from season 10. Reviewing their records this time around are Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda), B.J. Hunnicutt (Mike Farrell), and Charles Winchester (David Ogden Stiers). It is pretty funny to see the enlisted …
