Graham Hancock’s Quest for the Lost Civilisation
If you are not already familiar with Graham Hancock and his work, consider yourself lucky. Hancock is a quack of the most irritating variety, unable to come up with interesting theories and basing what theories he has on such ludicrous supposition as to make it not crazy enough …
Stranger Things (2016 Supernatural Sci-Fi Horror TV Show)
I’m not obsessed with TV shows as much as with films because they take too long for me. I don’t like waiting another week for a new episode only to edge out my excitement over and over again. I want to watch something that feels complete by the time the …
Celtic Woman: Songs, From the Heart
The sensational blend of voices known as Celtic Woman has offered up a new concert for the masses on PBS and it’s a good one. Celtic Woman: Songs, From the Heart is enchanting. I’ve watched it four times in three days: that’s how much I like it.
Taped …
The Simpsons: See Homer Run
Well, that was an episode of the Simpsons I haven’t seen before; See Homer Run. It was an OK episode but wasn’t the greatest though.
Basically, it’s Father’s Day and Bart gets Homer an amazing gift (I like how Marge tells Bart it isn’t from him if he doesn’t pay …
Adam-12: Log 165: Once a Cop
I really get a kick out of this 1971 episode of Adam-12 called Log 165: Once a Cop. This is the 19th episode from season three and it has some very entertaining story elements, including the fact that our heroes go on foot patrol for a while, something …
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: The Election TV show
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: The Election deals with an issue that is still relevant over 25 years later — pollution of the waters. This convinces the McFadden brothers that Adam (Richard Dean Anderson) should challenge the current sheriff for the office in the upcoming election.
Naturally, the current …
Burn Notice: Lesser Evil
The season finale of Burn Notice was an episode called Lesser Evil, which guest starred Michael Shanks, famous as Daniel Jackson on Stargate SG-1. This was Shanks fourth appearance on the USA hit drama, and he was awesome. It was the conclusion of an arc that was extremely …
Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Defenders of Peace
It’s rare for any show to expect the people who watch it to think, and rarer for a cartoon, but The Clone Wars on rare occasion attempts just that. This episode is based around a small tribe of people who want peace at any cost.
They are willing to abandon …
Stargate SG1: The Tomb Season 5 Episode 8
SG1 is once again teamed with the Russians when they discover the remains of Russian cigarettes outside a temple on P2X-338. When they return to the SGC, General Hammond tells them that the Russians are coming to help them, although Jack would rather take his team and go …
Star Trek: Who Mourns for Adonais? TV Show
The big thing about this second season episode, Star Trek: Who Mourns for Adonais? is that James Doohan’s Montgomery Scott has finally fallen in love. I believe this is the first time he even had a girlfriend in passing, which is unusual since even McCoy’s had a girlfriend. …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Inca Mummy Girl
I’m usually not a big fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes when they go off track and don’t even mention vampires. But, I did like the episode Inca Mummy Girl.
I liked this episode, which has the gang tracking down an ancient mummy after the seal keeping her inanimate …
M*A*S*H: Fade Out, Fade In
Season 6 begins with the fading out of Major Frank Burns and the fading in of Major Charles Winchester in M*A*S*H: Fade Out, Fade In. There really just wasn’t any use of the Burns character anymore.
For the entire stint of the show, Frank had been a bumbling, cowardly …
Ripley’s believe it or not show
This is a realty show which is based on World famous Ripley’s Believe it or not book. The show covers some of the most amazing people and incidents through out the globe, most of which holds some landmark record. It brings the performers and they perform LIVE, which …
Metalocalypse TV show
Metalocalypse is a new 15-minute cartoon on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim lineup, and I just finished watching the premiere episode of this show. Overall, I’m left with mixed feelings.
The show focuses on a death metal band named Dethklok. In the first episode, they first throw a concert in …
Comcast
Okay, now I usually do reviews on things I like, but this time I have had it! Comcast (used to be Time Warner cable here) has driven me to my limit. You would think that after being with them for so long and not moving to Direct TV, …
Ghost Hunters: Garden State Ghosts
Whenever the TAPS team ends up in New Jersey, it is almost always going to be a disappointment. The cases in the Garden State Ghosts episode weren’t much different.
They visited two places, an old mill and the proprietary house that once housed a royal governor. The highlight of both …
Da Vincis Demons (tv series)
During the year I found a few series I started watching, but most of them were discovered by way of the internet. I actually found out about this one when it began advertising on the cable television channel, Starz, a little before the series Spartacus was set to have …
Akame ga Kill (animated series)
“Akame ga Kill” has become one of my new favourite Japanese animated series. Right now, it’s still in its early stages and has eighteen episodes, each lasting roughly 20 minutes. However, I believe that the action and suspense that surrounds each episode is enough to have many anime lovers get …
The Next Iron Chef: Respect TV Show
For me, the most recent episode of The Next Iron Chef which was entitled Respect was a little lackluster for me. I’ll go so far as to call it bland. I wasn’t engaged by it or even that interested, and that is very unusual for me. …
Columbo: Make Me a Perfect Murder TV Show
Columbo: Make Me a Perfect Murder is a memorable outing for the famous detective mainly because of the superb cold and calculating performance of Trish Van Devere. She’s actually the traditional lady scorned, both personally and professionally, and she is out to get her revenge.
Van Devere portrays Kay …
Channel V2
Channel V is a station shown on Pay Television. They play the latest music all day and all night. There are all sorts of different countdowns to the show. The only bad thing I would complain probably has to play the same songs over and over again during the …
Friends Season Two - The one with Ross’s new girlfriend
There is a lot of craziness when Ross arrives home from China. On his way out there, he runs into one of his old classmates, and they instantly fall for each other. Rachel is waiting for him to arrive at the airport with flowers in her hand, waiting to …
Stargate: Infinity: Reality TV Show
Here’s a show to combat video games. Stargate: Infinity: Reality focuses on a world where the inhabitants are found in an auditorium, all playing some virtual reality game and turning into vegetables in the process. I liken this plot device to Stargate SG-1’s The Gamekeeper, where SG-1 …
Louis, Martin & Michael (2003) TV
In this particular documentary from Louis Theroux, we see him attempting to bag an interview with Michael Jackson, which he never does because Michael gave his exclusive interview to Martin Bashir instead. We all know how badly that turned out. Ironically, Michael had wanted someone who would …
The Cleveland Show on Fox
When it was released that Cleveland Brown from Family Guy was getting his own spin-off, I actually had high hopes for the show. The lazy delivery of Cleveland Brown seemed to warrant it’s own show in the snippets that you got to see on Family Guy. However, after the …
That Girl: Sue Me, Sue Me, What Can You Do Me?
The final episode of the third season of the groundbreaking comedy, That Girl, is called Sue Me, Sue Me, What Can You Do Me? and concerns something that a lot of people can easily imagine and maybe even identify with completely. It concerns a fall inside Newsview Magazine, …
Sony BRAVIA KLV-S32A10 32 in.
The Sony BRAVIA 32 inch LCD TV is a flat panel wide screen LCD HDTV. It is a thin, silver unit with a small base that swivels, oh yea and it is as cool as it sounds. The resolution of the TV is 1024×768 which is pretty basic, but …
CSI
I love all 3 CSI’s. The Las Vegas one is my very favorite though. I always try and figure out who did it and why they did it. I look forward to Monday, Wednesday and Thursday nights. If I am going to miss an episode, I make sure I …
The Ellen Degeneres Show - Dolly Parton
Ellen oh Ellen oh Ellen, the baddest talk show host on television, and yes I do love her…the show airs on NBC-E week days at 5:00pm in my area. As per usual, she starts off the show with her jokes, and then she goes into her little pep-up …
Survivor S20 Episode 3
This was a cool episode as we to to see James lose it. The Heroes are on a road to self destruction if you ask me, there seems to be no unity on their team and people are back-biting and sorting out alliances far too early in the …
Desperate Housewives: Mirror, Mirror
“Mirror, Mirror” is the 5th episode of the fifth season of Desperate Housewives on ABC. This was a great episode that was packed with funny moments while pushing forward the plot with Dave and filling in a lot of holes in the five-year gap from where the show left …
Smallville Season 8 Episode 3
To me this episode of Smallville was a bit bizarre. The story was that Oliver Queen had been poisoned and only had twelve hours to live so Clark and all his buddies had to find out what was wrong with him and find an antidote.
It brought up …
Bleach episode 1
This was the first and possibly the most gothic out of all of the episodes. Never have I seen such a unique twist of ironic comedy and such bitter truth. Fantasy blends with truth. Truth collides with religion. This is certainly an unusual show. Ichigo, the hero of …
Highway Patrol: Kidnap Copter TV Show
The Highway Patrol series really loves to make use of its helicopter, and I’m okay with that. Back when this show aired, having a helicopter assisting with crime cases had to be really exciting. The helicopter is a big part of the focus in this episode called …
SmallVille
When I was a child, I just love to watch Superman, and till now I love to watch him. And this TV show called “Smallville” is based upon the day today life story of Superman. Watching his normal life is really cool, and I am watching this series from …
Undercovers: Not Without My Daughter TV Show
Undercovers: Not Without My Daughter aired in October 2010 as part of this spy series first season on NBC TV. On the whole, I’m liking the concept of the show, but there are parts of it that need to be energized and varied or it risks becoming far …
Survivor Guatemala TV Show
Reality TV, what is this craze all about? My husband and I started watching Survivor: Guatemala- The Maya Empire, season 11, and what a choice for what to watch on a Thursday night! This show is so addictive, we enjoyed it right from the beginning. 16 people …
Sea Hunt: Crime at Sea TV Show
In Crime at Sea, the 37th episode of Sea Hunt’s fourth season, Tom Nicholson’s ship is damaged at sea, apparently by a storm. Another ship finds it but without the captain on board. They tow the ship back to port. Nicholson’s daughter wants to fight another …
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 …
M*A*S*H: Ain’t Love Grand
Actor Mike Farrell, who plays B.J. Hunnicutt, finally gets to direct an episode of this great comedy series. M*A*S*H: Ain’t Love Grand has a few different elements going on, including Major Charles Emerson Winchester III (David Ogden Stiers) getting involved with a lady of the evening over at …
Jennifer Hudson: Christmas
Jennifer Hudson: Christmas was this American Idol alum’s first TV special. I liked it, somewhat, but was also disappointed. Hudson has one dynamo voice. It’s full of power, but I felt like she tried to jazz everything up too much, or to put that whole black …
NCIS: Terminal Leave
Tony and Kate are assigned protection details on a family whose mother has been the target of an assassination. Seems during her time in the service, she was involved in an operation where innocent people died. She has a few days before retirement and until that time, …
That Girl: Write Is Wrong
For one of the few times that I can remember in this show, the opening of That Girl actually references something that happened in the show just prior to it. Ann Marie and Don Hollinger meet Harry Cook, played by William Schallert, at a party. He recollects …
The Andy Griffith Show: Barney’s Sidecar TV Show
Don Knotts once again gets to have some great moments in this fourth season episode of the comedy classic, The Andy Griffith Show. In Barney’s Sidecar, which was shown on TV initially in January 1964, Knotts’ Deputy Barney Fife character gets all riled up about the speeders on …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Odds for Big Red TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Odds for Big Red, the fourth show of season five, gets right to the action, and I question it. It is funny to me that Paladin has a lot of imperfections. Maybe that’s why the show worked. He’s almost an anti-hero, …
Outsourced: Pilot TV Show
Outsourced, the pilot, is a show I watched along with a bunch of other new Fall 2010 TV comedies just to see if I have misjudged the current style of comedy. You see, I prefer the classics, like The Andy Griffith Show and The Dick Van Dyke Show. …
The Young Rebels: Suicide Squad TV Show
From 1970, The Young Rebels: Suicide Squad continues the events of the Revolutionary War. It was one of my favorite shows during that TV season, and I was so glad to be able to see so many of these shows again recently.
This episode is fun because Jeremy and …
That Girl: Fix My Screen and Bug Out
That Girl: Fix My Screen and Bug Out guest stars Michael Callan, who plays Bobby Miller, the old boyfriend of Ann Marie’s. Callan is a charming man, and he plays a lot of these kind of characters. He’s not a bad guy here by any means. …
