As folks who know me are aware, I’m not a big fan of Stargate Atlantis for many reasons, not the least of which is that I hold it responsible for the deterioration of quality on Stargate SG-1. Now that I’ve said that up front, here are both the …

This is a really cool episode on the show. The first story on the show, the one with the robbery of the jewellery store is really interesting. The crime itself is very sophisticated and the tools used to commit it are really unusual. The second story is kind …

In That Girl: Break a Leg, Ann Marie’s friend lands a part in a Broadway show and asks Ann to be her understudy. Sally Kellerman plays Sandy Stafford, who doesn’t quite no how to react when all kinds of calamities threaten her appearance on the stage. She …

Well, so far, I have liked most of the Futurama episodes I have been watching with my daughter over the past couple of days. But, the season 1 episode Fear of a Bot Planet was actually kind of weak compared to most of the others.
The problem with this episode …

Dogs can be spoiled, temperamental and unmannerly, just like human beings can. Many times, their owners contribute to the problem and, once they see that a problem has developed with their pet, they don’t know what to do to change him or her. On “The Dog Whisperer”, desperate …

I am usually an avid watcher of Fox Five news. But now they have a new show called Good Day Xtra. I was surprised to see that this show, which is on from 9am to 10am, features some of the anchors from the regular news program. …

I remodeled and updated my bedroom recently and wanted to try one these new sleek televisions I’ve been hearing so much about. I did a lot of looking around, I went from best buy to circuit city to wal-mart to name a few. The names I was familiar with …

I greatly enjoyed this 25th outing from Sea Hunt’s fourth year on the air. The show was called Underwater Pirates, but no, there aren’t pirates with peg legs or ships with skull and cross bones flags waving furiously in the air. However, there are pirates, as in salvage …

OK, I never even heard of the show Total Drama Island until my wife was surfing channels the other day and came across the Cartoon Network. But, after seeing a few episodes of it, I have to admit it is pretty good.
Basically, this is a cartoon featuring a bunch …

Sitting around, chatting, and listening to fanciful tall tales. That’s the delight and center of The Twilight Zone: Hocus-Pocus and Frisby from 1962. It’s a fun story that includes some harmless stories and some naive aliens, as in aliens from outer space.
Here are a few thoughts about …

I was watching Seinfeld last night and came across an episode I hadn’t seen before “The Pick.” Wow, this is a classic episode because there is so much going on at once.
First, you have Elaine deciding to copy one of her friends (or coworker, I’m not sure which) by …

It is so very much entertaining and fun to watch Britney Spears on Ellen. There was this special showcase for the holiday that Ellen had put through and she, along with Britney went over to several homes and purely doing just that; singing and dancing and whatnot. Tremendously …

“Log 101″ of “Adam-12″ has a scene that I’ve never forgotten because it’s just too funny. A man has his lawn stolen. I always think back to that episode of “Bewitched” where Samantha wiggles up a lawn and drives her neighbor batty.
I like the focus on Officer …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Monster from Outer Space is the 13th outing for this sci fi show’s second season. One thing of note is that Wayne Heffley shows up here as the Seaview doctor. He reoccurs in a couple more season two episodes. …

I had to chuckle very early on The Next Iron Chef: Resourcefulness because after host Alton Brown informs them about the challenge and prepares to give them the ‘go’, the chefs all hunch down, like getting ready to run a marathon. Seriously, I don’t think I’ve seen that …

Todd Susman and Stuart Margolin guest star in M*A*S*H: Operation Noselift from the second season of this stellar war comedy set in Korea. Susman plays Private Danny Baker who keeps going AWOL. He’s upset about his nose and wants plastic surgery. Trying to help Baker, Hawkeye …

Big Brother All Stars! One of the most addicting shows I have ever watched. Ok I admit it I have been a fan since the 2nd season when Will the doctor one. And have been watching it since. I admit I have not actually watched EVERY episode, but I …

Columbo: Any Old Port in a Storm is one of those shows that has stayed with me since it first aired. I’ve seen it repeatedly over the years and it has a place in my memory cells, even though I’m not fond of the lead guest star, Donald …

This is a great episode, and it was put into two parts. In this episode, Michael and his team continue to work on executing the escape plan from the prison. They have come to what they could be the final stages in the plan. In …

America’s Funniest Home Videos is a show which come on many different channels. I’m sure that you have seen it some time or another, advertised, on, previewed. It comes on a lot late at night. It’s a real life show with an audience, no actors. But it’s not technically …

The focus of Whoopi: Is Rita Pregnant? from February 2004 was on Courtney’s girlfriend, Rita (Elizabeth Regen), and the possibility that she might be pregnant, something that makes Courtney’s sister cringe. She’s not really fond of Rita, at least not while her brother is unemployed and living with …

J. Michael Straczynski returns to the helm with this episode, a pretty good signifier that this will be a solid episode. It opens with Egon about to perform a test on Slimer and assuring him that it won’t hurt. Venkman has the same reaction that I did …

The Virginian: Dangerous Road was interesting to me mostly because the main guest star was Robert Pine. Pine became a household name to me when the TV series, CHiPs aired on television. The funny thing is that I didn’t even recognize him. I’d never seen him …

Hands down, Spongebob Squarepants is for me the funniest cartoon for kids and kids at heart. Its unique humor is something that not everybody appreciates, knowing a lot of articles written about it all over the web which are not favorable, but it is MY type of humor, so …

The 8th show of Black Gold’s third season on the air was, well, lackluster and highly repetitive in my opinion. In essence, the hour picks up where they left off in the 7th show with the workers letting off steam at the bar, only that is where a …

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 …

This isn’t my favorite talk show. Ellen is my favorite talk show. Although I do like to watch Tyra from time to time. I really like some of the shows she does. I think she picks unique topics to do and has an enjoyable talk show to watch. I …

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 …

Las Vegas is a show about Casino Montecito and about the private and business related problems the employees encounter.
The second season ended when Montecito got sold to a secret buyer and we also found out that Danny’s Dad died in a car accident. Danny works in the security department …

Centennial: The Longhorns is one of the most fun section of this wonderful mini-series. It’s the only focused on the cowboy, and since I love cowboys, I loved this episode.
One of the reasons The Longhorns works so well is that it is headed up by the terrific actor, …

Sea Hunt: Sunken Car begins with Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) doing a survey job where a pipe would be placed later. I like seeing how they link these little opening bits with what ultimately becomes the main focus of the half hour episodes. The survey really has …

Probably more famed for her work on BBC3, Dawn Porter has tackled numerous subjects in her often light hearted documentaries before.
With this Channel 4 series, Porter tackles topics that are a bit weightier and difficult than her previous exposes. In particular, her investigations into mail order brides and polygamy …

Burn Notice: Turn and Burn is episode 2 of season 2 for this Miami-based series. In a sense, this is an updated Miami Vice, not in plot, but in terms of bringing Miami to television. There is a lot of location shooting, and oftentimes, the scenery makes …

I don’t usually watch The Bill Engvall Show, but I did decide to tune in to see the episode called The Way We Were. The reason was because one of my favorite NASCAR drivers was doing a guest spot where he was actually playing a character and not …

Extreme Couponing is one of those television series that I don’t necessarily love enough to go out of my way to see, but I might watch if a few episodes if nothing else is on. I can imagine that just watching a reality television series about people who dedicate …

I really enjoy watching The Twilight Zone: The Odyssey of Flight 33. It’s full of intrigue. What I like in part is how the entire story takes place on an airplane. It’s really up to the actors who play the pilot and crew to make the …

A show I can really sit back and enjoy! Finally! Stargate SG-1: Watergate is a nice episode with a good guest star, Marina Sirtis of Star Trek: the Next Generation. Marina plays a Russian scientist who knows all about SG-1, much to their curiosity.
SG-1 discovers that …

Beast Wars - Transmutate is a story that is sad and most certainly different. I like it for a couple of reasons. For one, it offers a subliminal commentary on how that which is different is often the source of disgust and sometimes the source of feelings that desire …

I was curious and tuned into Oprah yesterday when the topic, and it is a long one, was ‘The 82-Pound Actress: Ellen’s Wife Portia de Rossi & the Secret That Nearly Killed Her’. Why they did a title that was that long, I don’t know. It’s almost …
