Dexter Season 1 Episode 3 (Popping Cherry)
Episode Three of Dexter was really fun, just like the previous two. The show is so well written that I don’t think there is ever going to be a bad review of an episode. This episode for a little different, since we got to see a bit more of …
Diagnosis Murder: Amnesia TV Show
Dick Van Dyke is back for episode two of Diagnosis Murder, this one entitled Amnesia. This was a show I rarely missed in its first run. The show begins with a neat scene between Dr. Mark Sloan and his detective son, Steve, who is played by Van …
The Office: The Coup
Dwight from The Office is one of my favorite characters ever. Usually when a character is annoying on a television show the actually annoy me, but Dwight is different. Perhaps it’s the reactions of everyone else or the fact that the things he does are more socially inept that …
Doctor Who: Season 4, Episode 13: The Stolen Earth
Wow, just wow. That’s all that can be said after watching this episode. Doctor Who finales tend to be larger in scale, but this completely blew everything else out of the water by a long shot, a looong shot. Just when you think that the show …
CAREFUL WHEN YOU BUY ON JEWELRY TV
Jewelry T.V. or ACNtv.com has been on the air for about twelve years, and I have used their station to buy far too much jewelry, but, I love everything I get! What I want to give my review on, is WHEN to buy on this station.
Jewelry t.v. has two …
Business Baazigar show
Yes, its true. Business Baazigar is the latest show telecasted by Zee TV on every Friday at 8:00 PM. There are several talent hunt shows going on around the country, but this is one of the Best of such talent shows as this is a talent that shows the …
Friends series
When we have dinner, we like to watch some of the old sitcoms. One of our favorits is the Friends series.
We have always likes the interaction of the characters, Joey the soap star who is dim witted but kind hearted. Ross the scientist, from a well …
Criminal Minds: The Longest Night TV Show
The season premier of Criminal Minds, called The Longest Night, picks up where last season left off. I have to be honest and say that as much as I have loved this hour long drama, this show is really approaching un-watchable for me. Actually, it’s pretty much …
John Doe: The Rising TV show
John Doe: The Rising is the final episode of this one-year episode and it essentially picks up not all that long after the last show ended. The topic in it was remote viewing, and John Doe (Dominic Purcell) was the subject. It’s actually a little disturbing to …
A Taste for Death - Part 1
A Taste for Death - Part 1 from the P.D. James novel was produced in 1988 and starred Roy Marsden as Inspector Adam Dalgliesh. Like most of these movies/mini-series that are made, this is a story with lots of little subplots and a lot of characters. It …
Futurama TV Episode: Fry and the Slurm Factory
My daughter and I took the time to watch a Futurama episode Tuesday night and ended up watching the Season 1 episode Fry and the Slurm Factory.
I had seen this one before (a long time ago) and this was the first time my daughter had watched it. Both of …
The Andy Griffith Show: Bringing Up Opie TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Bringing Up Opie is the final episode of the first season of this wonder family comedy, and the focus is on the Taylor family and specifically young Opie, played so beautifully by Ron Howard. In this show, Aunt Bee (Frances Bavier) suddenly decides that …
2009 UAAP Cheerdance Competition
We watched the 2009 UAAP Cheerdance Competition on television and I was very much entertained. This cheerdancing competition is open to the university members of UAAP (Philippines). This competition has been done annually for the last fifteen years, and slowly the quality of the cheerdance has improved.
This year though, …
A Certain Justice - Part 1
I don’t watch a lot of PBS (Public Broadcasting System) shows and never have. I just didn’t grow up watching the dramas too much, probably because so much of it is British and the culture was strange to me as a child. I didn’t know what they …
Doctor Who: Season 1, Episode 13: Parting of the Ways
The season, as well as Eccleston’s run as the Doctor, wraps up as the Dalek’s plan to wipe out all life on Earth. As one Dalek was a formidable threat, thousands of them are a bit beyond problematic, even Rose points this out early on.
Just as one Dalek …
Royal Pains
Royal Pains, on USA network, is the surprisingly entertaining and heartwarming story of a young doctor who - due to a political mistake - was fired from his job at a top hospital. He finds himself in the Hamptons where he sort of falls into the job of …
The Simpsons: Gone Maggie Gone
I watched a total of two Simpsons episodes last night and have to say the one entitled “Gone Maggie Gone” was a classic one.
A couple of things set up the plot of this episode. Marge stares at an eclipse and temporarily loses her eyesight. While she is unable to …
M*A*S*H: Baby, It’s Cold Outside
It’s really cold in Korea during M*A*S*H: Baby, It’s Cold Outside. While the doctors try to save some hypothermic patients, they also try to stay warm. This particular story element is another example of decent comedy mingling with decent drama and making for a decent half-hour of …
Baywatch
Baywatch was a cool show in it’s time and I loved to watch it. I think Baywatch does not get the credit it deserves as all it is really known for is pretty girls running on the beach and when the show first came out it was a …
M*A*S*H: Welcome to Korea
This hit comedy show hadn’t even had a chance to work on the new commander for the 4077th unit when it suffered another blow. Wayne Rogers decided not to return, sending his Trapper John McIntyre home to the United States where years later he’d turn into Pernell Roberts …
Wagon Train: The Mavis Grant Story
Wagon Train is one of the most respected westerns in the history of television. Originally, it aired as a black and white, sixty-minute show in which Ward Bond starred as Major Seth Adams, the wagonmaster. Later on, when Bond died, he was replaced by John McIntire as …
That Girl: Bad Day at Marvin Gardens
In the prior episode of That Girl, Ann and Don had planned to visit the Maries in Brewster, but Don had to work. In this episode entitled Bad Day at Marvin Gardens, the Maries come to the city to spend the weekend with the couple, starting with a …
The Virginian: Nobility of Kings TV Show
The Virginian: Nobility of Kings wasn’t much of a favorite for me. It featured Charles Bronson as Ben Justin, a new rancher to the Medicine Bow area. He had a huge chip on his shoulder do and was one of those “I’ll do it myself” types, even …
Neon Genesis Evangelion episode 1
In the far distant future of the year of 2015, the angel’s have returned. Welcome to Neon Genesis Evangelion episode 1 “Angel Attack”, an historic animation that has an story that is unrivaled by any other animation that has come out since then. The setting of this episode is …
Law & Order SVU TV Episode: Runaway
My wife and I had about an hour to ourselves last night and, since we were too tired to do anything else, sat down on the couch and watched a re-run of the show Law & Order SVU called Runaway.
Overall, this turned out to be a decent episode.
The episode …
Star Trek: Operation - Annihilate! TV Show
From April 1967, Star Trek: Operation - Annihilate! is the final show of the first season of this science fiction classic from the mind of Gene Roddenberry. It finally gives us a relative of one of the regulars, even though he dies before we meet him. What …
Ghost Hunters: Red George & Valentown Museum
Another season 2 episode of Ghost Hunters and another disappointment for me.
Once again, the TAPS team is called in to investigate a house (which are always a waste of time) only, this time, we get to see Jason’s hometown in the process.
Most of the evidence is quickly debunked (the …
CHiPs: Quarantine
From the last part of the second season, CHiPs: Quarantine gives the officers at the California Highway Patrol headquarters two different things to worry about. First, they think they have a bomb in the building. Second, the youngster who brought the possible pipe bomb into the building …
Whoopi: Is Rita Pregnant? TV Show
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 …
Seinfeld: The Boyfriend
I’ve been watching re-runs of Seinfeld late at night (while waiting for my wife to get home from work) and have seen some classic episodes; including “The Boyfriend.”
This is one of the funnier episodes of the series because they manage to get baseball player Keith Hernandez to guest star …
Sea Hunt: Operation Greenback TV Show
Sea Hunt: Operation Greenback was an interesting show. I actually kept wondering if it was done a bit like MacGyver which always kept something back when explaining how to make something that could be dangerous. In this episode, Mike Nelson, the expert deep sea diver played by …
Nikita (2010)
Another incarnation of Luc Bessons original film ‘La Femme Nikita’ hit the airwaves this year, with Asian bombshell Maggie Q filling out the title role and surprisingly, its pretty damn good.
For those of you not familiar with the character, Director Luc Bessons ‘La Femme Nikita’ first introduced the …
The Simpsons TV Show
This show I would say is an okay show. It’s not the best but it’s not the worst show in the world either. It kind of reminds me of Family Guy, but Family Guy is better. But it sort of does the same thing. It makes fun of normal …
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. …
Supernatural Season 4 Episode 3
Sam is upto something mysterious, while Dean is sent back to the time is dad was dating his mom. It turns out that the yellow eyed demon starts selecting kids from that time. Dean gets to meet his mom’s parents. It turns out his grandfather was a hunter too. …
Stargate: Infinity: The Best World TV Show
Stargate: Infinity: The Best World has the cutie pie, Harrison, getting himself into some trouble with a female of the next world Gus Bonner and his team visit. However, it’s not the kind of female problem he dreams of having.
In this outing, the villains from the first …
30 Rock: Blind Date
I’m starting to get a feel for 30 Rock, but I’m not sure I like it. It feels more like a skit from “Saturday Night Live” than a TV series. The things that happen are generally absurd, the comedy just a little too far and the character surreal.
That isn’t …
Ghost Hunters: The Stone Lion Inn
Hmm, I watched my final disk in the Ghost Hunters Season 2 DVD collection I’ve been renting yesterday and have to say the one, The Stone Lion Inn, was a bit on the dull side.
The first case was, of course, the Inn, which was supposed to be very haunted. …
Stargate SG-1: Seth
Stargate SG-1: Seth is another episode that some of the actors of the series thought was pretty bad. The whole premise seemed weak to them, the idea of a Goa’uld still living on Earth and having achieved nothing but a tiny cult like following seeming ludicrous. Still, …
True Beauty: The Stealing Challenge TV Show
I can’t believe ABC renewed the True Beauty series. I watched it in total disbelief last season. The concept is that models compete in various challenges for what they think are events to find the most beautiful person. Well, they’re right, except that the models assume …
Home Improvement TV Episode: He Ain’t Heavy, He’s Irresponsible
Well, I had time to watch TV again at lunch today and sat down to watch a re-run of Home Improvement I remember seeing a while ago but didn’t remember much about.
This one, entitled He Ain’t Heavy, He’s Irresponsible, has Tim’s brother revealing that he is thinking about leaving …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Twenty-Four Hours at North Fork
I find the opening scene of Twenty-Four Hours at North Fork extremely funny. Just one week after having Paladin so serious about marriage with a lady doctor, we see him back to his playboy self. It’s just hysterical because it opens up almost like a covert ops …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Marshal of Sweetwater TV Show
Marshal of Sweetwater is a sixth season episode of Have Gun - Will Travel, the successful western that starred Richard Boone as the poetic gunfighter, Paladin. Below are a few thoughts on this half hour show.
–I don’t think I’ve ever seen a scene on TV or movies where …
The Office: The Convict
Two weeks and two people from Stanford have quit. This week Michal and several other people find out that one of the new employees is a convict. When they investigate they find out that Martin was arrested for insider trading.
Michal tries to support the employee by telling everyone in …
That Girl: This Little Piggy Had a Ball
One of the most classic episodes in the history of That Girl is from the comedy’s first season. It’s called This Little Piggy Had a Ball, and it’s the episode when a curious Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) puts her toe into a bowling ball, and it gets stuck.
That …
Naruto Episode 5 Subbed
After four episodes Naruto finally stakes its claim as a continuing series. While the episodes before episode 5 were great and did their job building the story, but episode 5 is the first one to actually continue directly off of a previous episode as Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke continue …
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 …
