This That Girl episode focuses on more false assumptions, which often leads to fun. In ODPDYPAHIMCAISFSS, or as this crazy word stands for, Oh Don, Poor Don, Your Pants Are Hanging In My Closet And I’m Feeling So Sad, Don Hollinger’s mother comes to town for a visit, …
Stargate SG1: The Torment Of Tantalus
Katherine Langford, the woman who recruited Daniel Jackson for the Stargate program, is re-introduced in this episode. No, she is not played by the same woman but an equally talented one.
Daniel is given lots of boxes regarding the Stargate Program back in 1945. While most people would …
The Simpsons: Lard of the Dance
Some later Simpsons episodes aren’t as good as the earlier ones. But the episode “Lard of the Dance” is actually quite interesting.
I don’t know if it’s one of the funnier episodes I’ve seen but I like how they tackle the issue of how young girls want to grow up …

At last the first part of the Chuunin Exam, what we have been anxiously awaiting to start for several episodes now, is ready to begin. So what can we expect for a ninja test? Battles? Weapon demonstrations? Nope, a standard, ten question, one hour paper test. Sounds…fun? The explanation …
Adam-12: The Tip
For me, one of the things that stands out about Adam-12: The Tip is that Chuck Courtney has an uncredited part as bad guy, Russell Simms. I’m not sure why he didn’t make the end theme credits, but for some reason, Adam-12 had a habit of not crediting …
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: The Reel World of Frank Buck
The Reel World of Frank Buck concerns a documentary maker who wants to get footage of Buck in action in this episode of Bring ‘Em Back Alive from 1985. Bruce Boxleitner stars as Buck, but I’m not impressed with him at all. He’s never been an actor …
The Twilight Zone: Printer’s Devil TV Show
Burgess Meredith is back for yet another appearance on this classic, groundbreaking science fiction series. In The Twilight Zone: Printer’s Devil , he’s essentially the devil, and he’s brilliant. In my opinion, you can take all of Meredith’s appearances from The Twilight Zone and get a well …
Stargate SG-1: The Changeling
Stargate SG-1: The Changeling is the second really good episode of the sixth season of SG-1, and for good reason — Michael Shanks guest stars. Of course, by now, it was pretty obvious the man would be back as a regular. It was just a matter of time.
This …
M*A*S*H: The Foresight Saga
M*A*S*H: The Foresight Saga is a nice ninth season show that includes Radar O’Reilly, the one time company clerk of the 4077th. While Gary Burghoff doesn’t appear in the show, the camp receives a very upbeat letter from him, written from his hometown in Iowa. Later on, …

HBO
HBO is not like it used to be. They used to have new movies on all the time. They still have a lot to choose from, a wide variety of movies. Though a lot of the movies aren’t that new. I haven’t had movie channels in a long time …
The Simpsons: Dial N for Nerder
Well, I got to see a later Simpsons episode that wasn’t too badly written; “Dial N for Nerder” and I have to say it had a pretty good plot.
You have two basic storylines going on. First, you have Bart playing a prank on Martin that causes him to fall …

Clifford the Big Red Dog: Good-bye T-Bone
I got to watch one more episode of Clifford the Big Red Dog with my daughter today; “Good-bye T-Bone” and, while I do feel I’ve seen that particular episode before (just not necessarily as part of this show) I do think it was a pretty good episode to watch.
Basically, …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Blow Up TV Show
From December 1967, the 12th show of its fourth year, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Blow Up has a new twist for the viewers to enjoy. It’s not exactly the typical ‘body take over’ theme that is so popular in science fiction shows, but it’s more …
American Idiol
I started watching American Idol in their first season because I loved to hear people sing. I thought a show that would give the opportunity to an amazing singer, who might not have a chance of otherwise being discovered, was an excellent idea. I loved watching it every …

Leverage the TV Series
When Leverage started out its first season last year, it showed great promise. I was excited to watch because it sounded like Robin Hood to me. It also reminded me of The A-Team in the 80s which I followed diligently. Leverage revolves around a story about thieves who band …
I Heart Vampires show
I Heart Vampires is an internet show that can be watched at http://www.take180.com/show/I__3_Vampires/h1a or on Youtube.com.

House: Last Resort
Well, we finally had a House episode with plenty of drama that didn’t involve a possible relationship between House and Cuddy; about time.

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Left-Handed Man TV Show
From 1965, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Left-Handed Man was a second year show, the sixth of the season actually. The series starred Richard Basehart as Admiral Nelson and David Hedison, my favorite, as Captain Crane.
Following are a handful of observations about this show:
–This stands …

Enter the stage another grumpy middle-aged businessman: George Jefferson. Sherman Hemsley perfected the role that made him famous. His business tycoon mentality and “buck the system” attitude made him a success. This success is described in the song accompanying the opening credits. …
Hawaii Five-O: Full Fathom Five
Full Fathom Five was the first regular episode of the Hawaii Five-O dramatic series, and with it came the addition of James McArthur as Danny Williams. What I really like about this first interaction that we see between Danny and Five-O head, Steve McGarrett, is that it’s not …
Stargate SG-1: Homecoming
Stargate SG-1: Homecoming concludes the two-parter where Daniel Jackson returns to the series after a one-year hiatus. Oddly, his character is teamed with his so-called replacement, Jonas Quinn. There was some concern that the two might have difficulties performing together, but they didn’t.
Fans, however, had some difficulties …
Venture Bros: Pinstripes and Poltergeists
This episode brings 24 back, still in ghost form and guiding 21. 21’s really become a competent character. For most of the season, the joke was that he thought he had, as the trope says, taken a level in badass, but it turns out it’s starting to …
Jeeves and Wooster TV Series
P.G.Wodehouse’s humorous novels come alive and sparkle in this TV series. Meet Wooster (Hugh Laurie), a wealthy young gentleman with a tendency to get in trouble and only make matters worse as he tries to get out of it. And meet his impeccable butler Jeeves (Stephen Fry) who always …
Glee TV Episode: Britney/Brittany

M*A*S*H: The Smell of Music
M*A*S*H: The Smell of Music is a story of a war within a war. It has little to do with the Korean War that is the stage for this wartime comedy, but rather it’s about a battle of wills between Swamp-mates Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda), B.J. Hunnicutt (Mike …
20 Most Horrifying Hollywood Murders
I was scrolling down TVguide.com this morning and came across the show 20 Most Horrifying Hollywood Murders on E! Since that sort of thing intrigues me, I figured I would give it a chance tonight.
It was an OK show but it wasn’t as good as I expected it to …
M*A*S*H: Check-Up
It’s time for the annual physicals at the 4077th unit, hence the third season show, M*A*S*H: Check-Up. There’s a bunch of small scale antics, ranging from Henry Blake examining Radar O’Reilly and Hawkeye Pierce examining Hot Lips Houlihan. The big story, though, comes when Trapper John McIntyre …
Make Me a Supermodel (Bravo)
Modeling shows are fascinating to me because I like to see regular people showcasing their ability to become really fashionable. And I think that a lot of people have the potential to be great models. So in that sense, these reality shows are quite helpful. …
Sea Hunt: The Manganese Story TV Show
Sea Hunt: The Manganese Story was the last episode of its first season. Per the information I have, that was the end of October, so it’s quite obvious that seasons were different way back when. As a last show, it was fairly strong and it took the …
The Wendy Williams Television Talk Show
In a time when everyone from D-list celebrities to former supermodels has their own television talk shows, I find “The Wendy Williams Show” to be extremely refreshing. Every aspect of the show is fabulous- from its larger than life host Wendy Williams to the outrageous and super flamboyant …
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Pool Shark TV Show
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Pool Shark is the second episode of the current season. It is notable mostly for Liz Vassey’s appearance as ‘Lab Rat’ Wendy Simms. This is Vassey’s last show. Her option was not picked up so Wendy breaks Hodges’ heart and takes …
The Office Season 3
The third season of The Office isn’t my favorite season of the show, but I think it’s pretty good and it has some truly funny scenes. I didn’t like it enough to buy it when it first came out on DVD, but I liked it enough to buy it …
Columbo: A Matter of Honor TV Show
Columbo: A Matter of Honor from season five has some good and bad points to it from my point of view. Ricardo Montalban is the primary guest star, playing bullfighter Luis Montoya. Pedro Armendáriz Jr. plays Commandante Sanchez, who Columbo ends up working with in Mexico. …
TV : Dead Like Me
When George Lass (Ellen Muth) is hit and killed by a toilet seat plummeting towards earth, she is instantly taken as a reaper, one of those post-death individuals relied on to take the souls of people before they die. The quirky series lasted only two season but in that …
Sea Hunt: Pressure Suit TV Show
Sea Hunt: Pressure Suit has some nice underwater photography here and there. I like the clear water scenes like this show had. It’s so crisp and easy to see the fish swimming around. In this episode, Mike Nelson, played by Lloyd Bridges, is helping Professor Auerbach …
Louis and the Nazis (2003)
In one of his more recent films, Louis Theroux travels to America to investigate the Neo-Nazi movement. It’s one of his more daring and uncomfortable endeavours; opting for more head on investigation than the lighter distractions his Weird Weekend series had to offer, but all the same, Theroux carries …
One Tree Hill Series
First of all, I did not expect that I would learn to love CW’s One Tree Hill series. I have been a loyal viewer of the series since the airing of its first season when its characters were in their teenage years. Now it has made to its sixth …
