Black Gold: S3, Ep 5 TV Show
Freddy Moore is on a rampage. He’s the tool pusher, or supervisor of the evening shift that actually starts at 2 p.m. He’s out for a promotion, so he’s having the crew complete a lengthy ‘to do’ list. Freddy’s just not my cup of tea. …

MacGyver: Easy Target
MacGyver: Easy Target started with a twist — MacGyver and Pete bickering from a weekend ski outing that hadn’t gone as planned. It got worse when Mac’s jeep ran out of gas, which caused more bickering. It was quite fun to watch. Mac and Pete split …
Goin Bulilit
I have always loved watching funny shows; I think it is a good stress buster. In the Philippines, gag shows and funny shows, and even sitcoms have become really few these days; mostly people have concentrated on getting Korean novellas, and foreign shows. If not, locally produced shows are …
The Prisoner: The Arrival
In the early moments of the first episode of The Prisoner television series, I have eerie glimpses of Farenheit 451 and Logan’s Run. I believe this 1967 series predates both of those movies, but it’s just odd seeing some of those things that make me think of the …
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 …
Alias Smith and Jones: The Man Who Murdered Himself
Sadly, Alias Smith and Jones: The Man Who Murdered Himself is another show were Hannibal Heyes goes one way and Kid Curry another. It’s all to earn some money, but aside from the opening and the ending, the two partners are on separate track in this first season …
Stargate SG-1: Off the Grid
In my last review for the episode called Ethon of Stargate SG-1, I mentioned that one of the reasons that shows in the final two seasons of the series were poor was because of the lack of attention to SG-1 as a result of the powers that be working …
Spongebob squarepants
I love Spongebob. This is the perfect t.v. show for young, old, fat, skinny, smart, dumb, ANYONE. Everyone will love this show. Once you see that yellow sponge once than you cant stop watching it. His high pitched giggle, sense of humor, and friends make …
Beast Wars - Changing of the Guard
Beast Wars - Changing of the Guard is an excellent episode - in part, because it is an episode of the series that does something quite different and it does so very well. This is one of two episodes in the series that takes place, partly, underwater. Rattrap is …
Weeds season 1
I watched Weeds Season One on DVD again last week. I was home alone, and the house was so quiet, I found myself seeking a dvd to keep me company.
As I riffled through the possibiltites I found Weeds season 1 and I threw it in the dvd player.
I was …
Spongebob: Blackened Sponge
As I mentioned in another review today, I am watching Spongebob Squarepants with my daughter today and came across another episode of the show I thought was really funny, the one entitled Blackened Sponge.
Basically, in this episode, Spongebob is brushing his teeth and, in an effort to remove the …
America’s Got Talent - July 27, 2010 TV Show
Sometimes I love America’s Got Talent, and sometimes it bores me. I’m not fond of any of the judges, who make no sense in who they put through or buzz out. It’s not that I like David Hasselhoff, but I miss him. I’m not a fan …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Trap TV Show
From its fifth season, Have Gun - Will Travel: The Trap was the 24th episode, airing in March 1962.
Kam Tong was always entertaining as Hey Boy. I loved this bit with him at the beginning of the half hour when he is in Paladin’s room and …
Barbara Walter’s Top Ten
My husband and I watched Barbara Walter’s top ten most interesting people tonight on ABC. I found it very right on. My husband on the other hand says it was way off base. He says people like Adam Lambert and Lady Gaga should not have been on there. He …
Saving Grace
There a few television series these past few years that were watching. I like the cable televison better than the standard ABC, CBS, NBC, I watched TNT and there is a show called Saving Grace. It stars Holly Hunter, who plays Grace a detective in Oklahoma. …
Medium: It’s a Wonderful Death TV Show
Medium: It’s a Wonderful Death is another show that had a very nice season ender. The show narrowly escaped cancellation, or so it’s believed as of this writing. Actually, while I like this show, one thing I’ve consistently thought about it is that Patricia Arquette’s character of …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Mermaid TV Show
From January 1967, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Mermaid is a terrific show. It’s so dramatic, but I love the humor in it. This 19th show of the third season begins with a cute scene in the control room of the Seaview. It …
Lost Series
The Lost series Is another one of my personal favourites. Lost is like a puzzle that never seems to be fully solved. The stories and acting are first class. The actors do a great job of acting and playing their characters which are very likeable in the story. I …
Sliders Double Cross
This could have really been a quite good episode of Sliders. It has a somewhat interesting take on some of the problems that face our own world (the idea of diminishing resources), a chance for our four homesick Sliders to finally make their way home as well as …
Dancing with the Stars - 9-23-09
Dancing with the Stars on September 23, 2009 was the first results show of the year, and it was full of special performances. Of course, there was the mystery of who would be kicked off the show, but in the end, it really wasn’t all that much of …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Dead Man’s Party
I absolutely love a good zombie movie. So, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “Dead Man’s Party” wins points with me simply because it reminded me a bit of Night of the Living Dead.
Of course, it didn’t win enough points for me to consider it a great episode.
First of …
Psych: Earth Wind and Wait for It
I missed the new episode of Monk on Friday night but did manage to catch the Psych episode “Earth Wind and Wait For It.”
While it wasn’t half bad, it also wasn’t the best I’ve seen.
This episode had Shawn and Gus investigating a series of arsons that revealed dead bodies. …

“Workaholics” Season 3 on Comedy Central
The new season of Workaholics takes the amusing basis of three single twenty-somethings living and working together to a heightened level of hilarity. The characters are up to their same antics, but the situations are more and more outrageous.
The newest season of Comedy Central’s hit show starts out with …
The World Strictest Parents - TV Show - BBC 3
The Worlds Strictest Parents is a show on BBC 3. The title is not quite as harsh as it might seem. There has not been a competition to find the strictest parents, or anything like that, but the purpose of the show is to take teenagers from the U.K …
Dora the Explorer TV Episode: Dora Saves Three Kings Day

Boris Karloff’s 1958 anthology series, The Veil, took on yet another different tactic in the episode called Jack the Ripper. This is the first episode of the series where Karloff didn’t even have a small role in the production. All he did was host the show. However, …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Halloween
Just when I thought season 2 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer could actually go without a bad episode, I come across the one entitled “Halloween.”
To be fair, this isn’t really a bad episode. It’s just it’s an episode that’s been done before.
Basically, it’s the same Halloween episode other shows …
Greys Anatomy
Greys Anatomy aired its new fall season premiere for 2009. The 2-hour event was not a let down to Grey fans. True to rumors, one of the beloved characters was indeed killed off the show. I will not spoil and say who but if you follow the show then …
Sports Unlimited
Being a sports lover and being active in different sports, I must say that, for me, Sports Unlimited is a gem of a TV program here in the Philippines.
It’s basically a TV show in ABS-CBN Channel 2 (a local broadcasting network) every Saturday, 12 am, which essentially covers different …
The Two Coreys
When I was a child I loved Corey Haim and Corey Feldman. They were absolutly wonderful and complimented each other very well in the movies that they played in together. So what happened. I tuned in to watch the new show the two Coreys. Not only was it extremly …

Batman: The Brave and the Bold: The Fate of Equinox
This was an interesting episode that wrapped up the Equinox subplot. It ties into Dr. Fate so, as one would expect, this is a pretty metaphysical episode, dealing with the lords of order and chaos as well as remaking the universe.
For only twenty minutes, this was …
Death of an Expert Witness - Part 1
Death of an Expert Witness - Part 1 gives us something different than we see in most other P.D. James film adaptations. We get the date of the story, which helps the viewer to track how much time has elapsed between scenes. This ultimately becomes important in understanding …
Jamie Oliver TV programme
I think Jamie Oliver is a breath of fresh air. He throws the rule book out the window when it comes to cooking and he is pretty cute too.
I like the gap in his front teeth, his cheeky accent and hi little messed up boy hair… it helps that …
The Virginian: Ah Sing vs. Wyoming TV Show
It’s an interesting thing about The Virginian: Ah Sing vs. Wyoming, which was the 7th episode to air in season six. I had wondered if there had been any real context behind the story, a case of reality by taking a real situation and sticking it into an …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Juliet
In this episode of Have Gun - Will Travel, entitled Juliet, Paladin (Richard Boone) accidentally winds up in the middle of a small war. Unfortunately, there are a lot of problems with this episode, even though it’s actually entertaining. Interestingly, the show was written by Gene Roddenberry. …
House : Skin Deep
This has got to be one of the best switches I have seen on “House” so far. The story involves a supermodel who punches out another model and then collapses on the catwalk. They discover heroin in her blood and so at first they assume it is that, and …
Code Geass Episode 4 (Anime)
Code Geass Episode 4 has Lelouch trying to stop the false trial of Suzaku who is innocent but the Brittanians have already decided he’s guilty.
