Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea TV series

Team UmiZoomi
Many cartoon programs on television right now are not the most educational for children of any age; especially toddlers. There is, of course, the tried and true Sesame Street that is always easy to rely on to help you teach your children their alphabet, numbers, etc. But, not all …

Fil Products Service Television, Inc.
This is one of the two cable service networks serving the people of Dumaguete City and even some parts of the province of Negros Oriental. Compared to the other cable company, Fil Products Service Television, Inc. is far more complete and has very appealing service programs provided to their …
Star Trek: Obsession TV Show
While there are good moments in Star Trek: Obsession, it’s another revenge type of show where James Kirk follows his overwhelming need for revenge for some past event even when it jeopardizes his crew, something which is highly abnormal for him. Having that as a theme brought the …
Glee TV Episode: Britney/Brittany
When the television show Glee first came on the air, my wife and I watched the first episode of it, weren’t overly impressed with it and didn’t ever watch it again. However, this past week, she learned they were going to do Britney Spears songs and, since she is …
The Twilight Zone: In His Image TV Show
The Twilight Zone: In His Image is just one of those weird outings for this series that I just have to accept. It’s not shown that often I don’t think because it’s not as fresh in my mind as most episodes of The Twilight Zone are. I’ve …
The Simpsons: E Pluribus Wiggum
I haven’t seen the Simpsons episode E Pluribus Wiggum until last night and I have to confess, it was good enough to keep me up watching it even though I was getting pretty tired out by that time.
Basically, Springfield is holding an election on a bond issue (to rebuild …
CHiPs: Crack-Up
In CHiPs: Crack-Up, Jon is injured chasing a couple of drag racers. We get some good time angst for a few minutes while we wait to find out the results, like we didn’t know he’d pull through. I love this kind of stuff, though. All that …
Fireball XL5: The Doomed Planet
Fireball XL5: The Doomed Planet is the second episode of this puppet, or rather supermarionation series from Gerry Anderson, and I love it for a few reasons.
First, we see how Colonel Steve Zodiac and Doctor Venus are at home when they are off duty. They drive from the …
Home Improvement Show
I love this show, Home Improvement. It reminds me of growing up in the ’90s. I loved the banter between Tim Allen and Patricia Richardson, who played his wife, Jill. I like how they work everything out with each other and care about what the other thinks. And they …
Eastenders TV
I love, love, love watching Eastenders on BBC1. The argument, the tears the drama! And it always happens a big family do, like a wedding, at Xmas or of course in the Queen Vic!
I remember curling up on the sofa when I was a kid and it first started, …
Stargate SG1: Tin Man
Tin Man was one of the worst episodes of Season One. It revolved around the fact that SG1, while visiting a planet, is knocked out and turned into robots.

Family Guy: Petergiest
This entertaining enough parody of the horror movie Poltergeist proves to be a solid episode from the forth season.
It’s a pretty affectionate spoof, with Stewie stepping into the shoes of Carol Anne and effeminate Bruce popping up in a role influenced by Zelda Rubenstein’s diminutive medium. After a …
American Idol
This is a fantastic show where three judges travel around different cities choosing the best singers to go and perform in Hollywood where contestants are eliminated every show until there is only one left standing: the American Idol. The beginning of each season is always hilarious as you …

Columbo: Murder Under Glass TV Show
Columbo: Murder Under Glass has a cooking theme, and this one doesn’t thrill me. Frenchman Louis Jourdan is full of his usual charm and sophistication as Paul Gerard, who is the killer of the episode. He’s involved in what they call a pre-affair with Eve Plummer. …
Royal Pains
I honestly believed that the absolute last thing this world needed was another doctor show. I have honestly always found doctor shows boring due to the fact that they are entirely set within hospitals which just do not provide an aesthetically pleasing view of scenery. I can’t stand watching …
Project Runway Season 5 Premiere
Eventually, even the most popular shows end up coming full circle and, either because they try too hard to re-invent themselves or because they run out of legitimate talent, they start showing some decline. This is especially true when it comes to reality television because you are always trying …
Munsters
Classic television has done it once again with repeats of The Munsters. The show features Fred Gwynne and Al Lewis who starred in Car 54 Where are You. Pat Priest and Patrick Butchram and Yvonne Dicarlo also appear on the show. However just the characters of …
Stargate SG-1: Collateral Damage
Stargate SG-1: Collateral Damage is another of the season nine shows that I tolerate Ben Browder’s Cameron Mitchell character a bid more than in other shows. It’s probably for the same reason as the last time — he’s somewhat away from the team and able to be himself …
Two and a Half Men Season 7 Episode 15
Every time I watch two and a Half Men I remember the times this show actually used to make me laugh - it’s been a long time and this episode was no different.
This episode was about Charlie and Chelsea’s relationship. Charlie thinks she is cheating on him which she …
The Andy Griffith Show: Ellie for Council TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Ellie for Council is another terrific program from this legendary family show. As the title indicates, it’s all about Ellie Walker (Elinor Donahue) running for City Council in Mayberry. That’s something the men folk aren’t thrilled about at first. Here are a few …
Top Chef - Show Your Craft
The producers of Top Chef just never disappoint. The second episode of the season and they have me hooked. From time to time on the show in the past, they will have a group of persons separate and apart from the judges judge the chefs. For this episode …
MASH: Foreign Affairs
I was waiting for Law & Order CI to come on last night and decided to watch MASH on another channel. One of the episodes I came across was called “Foreign Affairs” and had two unique storylines that were entertaining.

Return to Green Acres Reunion Special
“Return to Green Acres” is a reunion special that features characters from the 1960s sitcom, “Green Acres”. I love the television show because the humor is so off the wall and the characters are so memorable and distinctive. When I learned
that a reunion special had been made, I eagerly …
The Bachelor TV Show
The Bachelor is a reality TV Show with many seasons that have been aired.
I have a love hate relationship with the show.

The Cleaner: Rag Dolls
Now that I was familiar with some of the shooting styles of The Cleaner and how fast paced it is, watching its second episode, Rag Dolls, was a little easier. One thing I noticed here is that this show has a very distinct visual pattern. They do …

South Park Seasom 13, Episode 1: The Ring
I am a huge fan of South Park and I decided to write reviews on some of the episodes. The episode I will be reviewing today is Season 13, Episode 1: The Ring. The episode begins in at south Park Elementary, where all the boys in the class are …
Star Trek: The Cloud Minders TV Show
Star Trek: The Cloud Minders is an okay third season entry for this science fiction legendary show, but it’s hardly a favorite. What I do like about it is that at least it’s not Kirk falling in love again. That said, it’s yet another story about a …
CSI
CSI without the Gil Grissom character just isn’t CSI, but the show is still plugging along. It’s not that it’s bad, it just lacks the zip and zest that Grissom injected into the action. Still, the March 5, 2009 episode called “Turn, Turn, Turn” was intriguing and …
Air Wolf
Air Wolf is a very cool TV show that is about a really fast chopper that can fly faster than the speed of sound. That chopper is called Air Wolf. It’s the story of a chopper who also has really high tech weapons like mini misseles and machine guns. The …

Rozerem (TV ad)
While watching television, I happened upon a commercial where a man is seated at his kitchen table with Abraham Lincoln, and what looks to be a groundhog, but is actually a beaver. In the rear, facing the sink (presumably washing dishes) is what looks like an astronaut. …
