CSI: New York: Point of View TV Show
I’ve always wanted to like CSI: New York because Gary Sinese is such a talented, dynamic actor. I actually do like, but I’ve never been hooked into it. I watched it more the first season when Sinese’s character was more in mourning over his wife, who had …
MacGyver: Thief of Budapest
MacGyver: Thief of Budapest has that incredible opening gambit where MacGyver is rescuing a horse and ends up buckling the horse to a hook and the two go flying away beneath a helicopter. It’s a little on the unreal side and I worry about that horse. I’m …

Bones: Harbingers in a Fountain
I didn’t get to watch the entire Bones season premiere last night because I was busy with a few other things at the time (thanks to my wife turning a simple cleaning project into a complicated redecoration of our living room). What I did see of it, however, did …
Law & Order SVU TV Episode: Totem
Synopsis: Benson and Stabler receive help from sex therapist Cap Jackson (Jeremy Irons) when a little girl’s body is found brutally murdered and stuffed inside a suitcase and the police begin to suspect a female rapist/killer.

The Amazing Race
The Amazing Race is a cool show. There are so many things I like about this one. Basically the premise is a bunch of couples embark on a race around the world for a million dollars. They have challenges in every country and the couple that …
“Daredevil” series on Netflix
For years now, it seems like it is government-mandated to watch all of the Marvel films, because as much as I try, I can’t seem to keep myself out of the theater! The “Daredevil” series on Netflix, although successful, seems to not be as etched into the mainstream as …
Boston Legal Season 1 Episode 15
Denny Crane and Celina ( played by Kerry Washington ) were representing a client who wants to sued her ex fiance for jilting her at the alter. The opposing counsel was Denny Crane’s ex son from another woman who was played by Freddie Prinze, Jr. The parties did not …
Stargate SG-1: Line in the Sand
Stargate SG-1: Line in the Sand bugged me in some ways, but then again, that is the norm for season ten episodes. This is the third episode without Michael Shanks. In the show, no one knows what has happened to Daniel for sure. Is he alive …
MacGyver: Ma Dalton
Jack Dalton is back and back as being annoying in this episode of MacGyver called Ma Dalton. I’ve been reminded that when he’s calm and not scheming, he can be a fun character, but when he’s scheming and roping Mac into his crap, I just can’t stand him. …
Neon Genesis Evangelion episode 17
As we await on what we have slowly ascertained to be true, we are proved wrong once more in a single glance by a master of the trade. Now in the face of the unknown, we must prove the proof of fire in our souls or burn in agony …
Trinity Blood episode 10
Bloodshed is not an escape on this episode of Trinity blood. Episode ten starts you off where you left off on episode nine. With all of the brutal violence on Trinity Blood, nothing can compare to this Lady Cathrina is is under house arrest without tea! …

CSI Season 8, Episode 8
I was fairly surprised by this episode of CSI because it was a lot better than I thought it would be. The episode itself mainly takes place in the fantasy world and some of the favorite characters barely appear at all. Hodges in the lab gathers up all the …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Doomsday TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Doomsday, the 19th outing of this series, brings back Ford Rainey as the President of the United States. It’s a serious scene with just him. After the theme, everything turns frivolous as the Seaview crosses the equator and proceeds to …
M*A*S*H: Yankee Doodle Doctor
M*A*S*H: Yankee Doodle Doctor features Ed Flanders, best known for the medical drama St. Elsewhere, as a film director for the Army who is making a documentary about the MASH units under the command of General Clayton (Herb Voland). Of course, it’s a very glossed over review that …
The Virginian: The Long Quest TV show
The Virginian: The Long Quest is one of those that is so hard to watch because of its poignancy. It’s a story of tragedy that really doesn’t have a winner, no matter how you look at it, because someone is going to end up on the short stick.
At …
Women Behind Bars tv series
This is an interesting series that I sometimes watch on the cable television channel called WEtv. I like watching it because not only is it like shows like Forensic Files and so on that I like to watch, but this one seems a little different in the sense that …
Big Brother: Power of Veto August 11, 2010 TV Show
I would dub this Power of Veto episode of Big Brother the Rachel Meltdown and Brendon Bad Boy Hour. The show aired on August 11, 2010, and it was just pitiful to watch. If it weren’t for the fact that I was writing reviews, I wouldn’t be …
Comcast Cable
I have been a customer of Comcast Cable off and on for roughly the last 7 years or so, dependent upon what deals they are currently offering. In the past, I have had no real complaints with the service other than the fact that their rates tended to …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Creature TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Creature is the 28th show of the series. This science fiction show has always been a favorite of mine, and it’s really been fun to go back and watch them again in order to write these reviews. Of course, …
Psych: Shawn Versus the Red Phantom
Well, at least after watching the previous episode of Psych, which I didn’t feel was as good as others that I have seen from the series, I was able to watch one that was somewhat better; Shawn versus the Red Phantom.
When I saw the title, I wasn’t really sure …
Cory in the House
I knew there was a spin-off from the old show Raven called Cory in the House but I never got a chance to actually watch it until yesterday; when my daughter had it on TV and I just happened to be in the room.
After seeing a couple episodes in …
Cover Her Face - Part 5/6
I’m including the final two parts of Cover Her Face as one entry because it lost me a little in the fifth part. I drifted away from the story more. Perhaps I was just tired or maybe the story lagged, but while it had me early on, …
Band of Brothers Episode 4 “Replacements”

NCIS season 6 Episode 1 Last Man Standing
NCIS is a detective show about a Navy Crime Investigative Service. So what they actually do is to resolve the crime cases that have anything to do with the Navy. I must say that from most of these crime investigative shows this is my favourite one.
The last season finished …
Vampire High Season 1 Episode 18
In this episode, the night students are sitting around the library when it begins to thunder and it immediately calls for story time.
Merrill tells the others about a woman who was an archer and she came across a vampire. The vampire told her he loved her and that his …
Roseanne
Roseanne is probably the worst TV show I have ever seen. It’s about a fat slob named Roseanne. She is not funny, her voice is annoying, and she is not pretty. How anyone could find this show funny is beyond me. Every time I see the show starting up I …
MacGyver: Early Retirement
MacGyver: Early Retirement has more of MacGyver on the ice, playing hockey with Pete in a neat little segment, especially when Pete stops three of his shots from scoring. Can we say Mac is a pouter? It was funny. The reason for the excursion for the …
The Prisoner: Living in Harmony
I’ve never thought of the old west as being particularly harmonious, but somewhere in Patrick McGoohan’s mind, it apparently is, or at least is for the purposes of this episode of The Prisoner. McGoohan plays Number Six, an ex-spy being held prisoner in some unknown place called The …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Haunted Submarine TV Show
The 11th episode of its third season on the air, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Haunted Submarine, gives us another same-o, same-o, which I really don’t like. By this I mean that yet again, Richard Basehart plays two roles. He’s Admiral Harriman Nelson as …
Stargate SG1: Hathor
The episode starts out with a couple of archeologists discovering a sarcophagus that when opened up contains something that kills them. Later, we find that the sarcophagus has been sent to Daniel. Seems the archeologists were killed and their fellow archeologists decided to send the sarcophagus to …

Wagon Train: The Link Cheney Story
Charles Drake is the main guest star in Wagon Train: The Link Cheney Story, a seventh season entry of this great western television series. Drake is an affable sort to watch. He pulls off bad guys and good guys with ease. Here, he’s a master poker …
Teen Mom (MTV)
There was a time when teenaged girls were scolded for getting themselves “in trouble.” But for some reason now, people think it’s ok to showcase these young girls. Young black women have been raising kids at an early age for many years. There has always been …

Alias Smith and Jones Season 1 DVD set
The Alias Smith and Jones Season 1 DVD set is a book-like presentation with lovely photography and artwork. The ‘book’ slides into the cover box, giving it that book-like feel.
The ‘book’ itself opens up to display the DVDs. Unfortunately, they chose to put two DVDs on each …
Privledged
Privledged is a show about a girl who finished university and now can’t get a job anywheree xcept as a nanny for a couple of rich kids Rose and Sage.

Beat the Bailiff (BBC)
I got into financial difficulties many years when I was a mature student with a mortgage to cope with as well. I am still suffering the repercussions now and it is true what they say, that debt can become a vicious cycle. Therefore, I really enjoy programmes …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Martian TV Show
While watching this February 1992 The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Martian episode, I was never sure where the story was going to lead. I kept making assumptions that proved not to be exactly correct. I liked that and maybe that’s why I kept watching and trying to …
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: The Best of Enemies
What can I say about Bring ‘Em Back Alive: The Best of Enemies? Not much that is good, that’s for sure. This adventure series continues to be sub-par. Star Bruce Boxleitner didn’t have enough sparkle to keep the show dazzling along, and the co-stars were almost …
Sea Hunt: River Treasure TV Show
Oh goodness, we are back in some South American unnamed country again. I really don’t like these episodes of Sea Hunt that take diver Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) to these locales. I want underwater adventures, and I refuse to believe that they couldn’t come up with more …
