Watch What Happens: Live
Watch What Happens: Live is new to the Bravo Channel in 2009 and personally, I think it needs to go away and be a memory. I just wasn’t impressed at all by what I saw. The only reason I tuned in was to see who the Top …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Living Conditions
Got to admit, while not the best Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode ever, the episode “Living Conditions” still managed to be funny and entertaining.
In fact, I’m not even sure what the real plot was supposed to be. But, that whole storyline where Buffy had to survive living with her …
Greek: Season 1
When I first saw this new ABC Family television show advertising, I did not think I would enjoy it. I thought it would only be yet another silly and immature teenage television series which I at the time had no cares about like “Dawson’s Creek”, “Laguna Beach” and “Lincoln …
Highway Patrol: Deadly Diamonds TV Show
From December 1958, Highway Patrol: Deadly Diamonds was an okay half hour, but the entertainment value wasn’t as strong as some other outings simply because it’s a stale plot. We’ve seen jewelry thieves on the show before, and we’ve also seen three person teams.
Frankly, the set up for …

The Simpsons: Miracle on Evergreen Terrace
Christmas must be around the corner. I say this because I was flipping channels last night and came across the Simpsons Christmas episode “Miracle on Evergreen Terrace.” Fortunately, I had time to actually watch it for the first time in more than a year.

The Fresh Prince of Bel Air
I love to watch the television show The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. The show stars Will Smith and it is absolutely hilarious. This show came out in the early 90s and I have been watching it since way back then. I use to watch it all the time …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Turn Back the Clock, episode seven and one I have always been intrigued by, guest stars Nick Adams. We see him running through a jungle and then are surprised to find he’s being chased by a dinosaur. Okay, this show …
Justice League Unlimited Season One: Hunter’s Moon
“Hunter’s Moon” is the 22nd episode of season one of Justice League Unlimited. I was disappointed that this episode did not pick up where the last episode ended, since episode 21 ended with a cliffhanger. Instead, we are treated to a mission with Hawkgirl and two lesser …
The Simpsons
The Simpsons is an animated comedy about the life of a family. I find the show to be funny, witty and hugely entertaining.

Medical Comedy: Scrubs
Scrubs is a medical comedy that has held my interest from the beginning. It takes on an easy going, humorous, and sometimes plain crazy look into the lives of the doctors of Sacred Heart hospital. There’s Elliot: a woman just trying to fit in and let loose …
Batman: The Brave and the Bold: Aquaman’s Outrageous Adventure
The cold open has Batman flying a plane in World War 2. There’s not really any explanation, but Batman has time traveled before so it’s not too outlandish. He teams up with Enemy Ace to defeat..aliens I guess. I’m not sure, there wasn’t much in the …
Monsters Inside Me show
Monsters Inside me is a show on Animal Planet. It is about parasites that infect people and cause terrible symptoms. It is often graphic and hard to watch, as it shows worms and other things inside people’s bodies. Every episode has a different theme. Notably, the focus of the …

I first discovered Guiding Light when I was young I can’t even remember how old I was. I used to watch it on every holiday, and during the entire Summer of vacation. As I got older and began to do teenage things my faithfulness faltered as cable television and …

Family Guy: It Takes a Village Idiot
Last night’s re-run of the show Family Guy was and OK episode but not a great one. The episode; entitled “It Takes a Village Idiot” has Lois running for mayor against Adam West because she has concerns about him being too corrupt for the job.
The lead-in to the election …
CSI: Miami
I loved the original CSI, but CSI Miami is another matter. When I first saw the introduction of CSI Miami in one episode in CSI, I was intrigued because the architecture of their lab was really exceptional. The plot which intertwined the two series’ was done smoothly. When the …
Colin and Justin’s Home Heist
Television is saturated with home improvement and renovation shows so the only way not to become bored is to watch the ones that have some unique aspects to them or to be hosted by designers who have extraordinary skills and personalities. Justin and Colin certainly fit the description of …

The Dick Van Dyke Show (TV Show) - The Last Chapter (Episode)
“The Last Chapter” is the final episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show”. “The Dick Van Dyke Show” is easily one of my favorite sitcoms of all time, but it’s series finale, oddly enough, happens to be my least favorite of the series and I can think of many …
Stargate SG-1: 48 Hours
I do enjoy Stargate SG-1: 48 Hours, but it’s one more Earth-based story, and it’s yet another one where the team is divided up. One misses the vintage years when SG-1 went exploring, and they were truly a team.
Here, Teal’c finally gets his revenge. Let’s all cheer! …
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 …

Mr. Monk and the Foreign Man
I tuned into the latest Monk episode Friday expecting to find him working on a case that would bring him closer to solving Trudy’s murder. Instead, I was disappointed to learn that wouldn’t be the case.
However, the episode was definitely interesting.
You have two cases going on. One involves the …

From Las Vegas, it was Suzanne Somers being honored as the Woman of the Hour on this edition of The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast. On the dais from Three’s Company were Norman Fell, who was moderately funny in his presentation, and Audra Lindley.

Star Trek: The Return of the Archons TV Show
Here’ another classic episode, one that is so very Star Trek. Harry Townes as Reger is the main guest star in Star Trek: The Return of the Archons, from February 1967.
I also love the concept of the show’s beginning with the Enterprise investigating the disappearance of a ship …
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. …
Psych TV Episode: Ghosts
I was watching another re-run of the show Psych this afternoon while having lunch. This one was entitled Ghosts and was one I have seen before but couldn’t remember much about it. I’m glad I watched it though because it was actually a very good episode.
Basically, Gus needs to …
Beast Wars - Equal Measures
Beast Wars - Equal Measures is an episode that I like on some levels, but dislike on others. First, the good. Terrorsaur gets some, not a lot, but some development in this episode and the viewer learns that he has ambitious goals of his own and a duplicitous streak …
The Twilight Zone: Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up? TV Show
In my book, The Twilight Zone: Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up? just might be the best of all the episodes from this series. It’s definitely in the top five. There’s no doubt about that.
I absolutely love this program wherein two officers investigate the report of …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Phantom Strikes TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea struck gold with this second season show, the 17th of the year, called The Phantom Strikes. It’s absolutely one of the best episodes of the entire series, and I adore it. Alfred Ryder made his role as Captain Gerhart Krueger …
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 …
House: Not Cancer
OK, not only was the lastest episode of House “Not Cancer,” entertaining, it had to be one of the grossest episodes I’ve seen recently; a good combination for network television.
This episode was interesting because you have a series of people dying after receiving an organ transplant from the same …
Destination Truth show
Destination Truth is a show that airs on Wednesday nights after Ghost Hunters on the SciFi channel, or SyFy now. This show is mainly about cryptozoology but they’ll occasionally do paranormal cases as well. It’s a bit like Ghost Hunters but the crew for Destination Truth is a …

Monk TV Episode: Mr. Monk and the Sleeping Suspect

This …
House: Remorse
Last night’s episode of House was actually pretty decent for a change.
The episode, entitled “Remorse” had an interesting case involving a woman who turns out to have zero emotion and will do whatever it takes to get her way. She is dying and they team can’t figure out if …
Mr. Monk and the three Julies
Normally, I enjoy episodes of Monk. The latest episode, Mr. Monk and the Three Julies was an OK one but not as enjoyable as others.
First of all, I really felt for his assistant Natalie. They are at a crime scene and she overhears the police radio mention her daughter …
The Big C (tv series)
“The Big C” was one of those few television series that I was fortunate enough to start watching when it first premiered on television back when I still had Showtime. It was a bit unusual in comparison to the television series I would tend to watch especially at that …
The Middle TV Show Season 1 Episode 22 “Mother’s Day”
As a mother this episode really resonated with me. The whole episode was about mother’s day and how a father’s perception about the day is different than what a mother wants and how father’s day is fantastic but mother’s day tends to fall flat.
This episode was …
Sabc Sports Laduma Soccer Presentation Show
Ever since I started religiously watching soccer back in around 1998, because of not having subscriber paid television (DSTV) I have been forced to catch all the matches on the public broadcaster’s soccer show, —˜Laduma’.
As the years would go by I was always pretty happy to sit down to …
