Psych: Bounty Hunters
Well, I will admit, I had some doubts about the Psych episode Bounty Hunters because I really did think it would be a little on the stupid side of things; to the point it wouldn’t be as funny as other episodes. However, overall, I have to admit, this one …
Trust (Starhunter Episode)
Trust is a bit better of a Starhunter episode than the one that preceded it: Peer Pressure. Here the villains of the day are a bit less annoying, and a bit more sinister. I also really like the concept behind the new prison: a completely automated prison …
American Idol Show
I first loved watching this show because first, the judges are simply crazy, funny, and amazing! Second, there are really lots of talented contestants out there, plus we all get to watch crazy bonuses in which other “contestants” really think they are Mariah Carey or Celine Dion, maybe in …
Supernatural TV Series
Is it horror that you want? Ghosts, monsters, demons, angels and cute hunters. Then the TV series Supernatural is what you need to watch. It’s a story of two brothers who hunt demons and other paranormal creatures. They solve bizarre cases that no police and investigator can. What so …
Stargate SG-1: Secrets
Much as I don’t like Jaffa-centered stories, I’m also not fond of the Abydonian storylines on this series either. Stargate SG-1: Secrets, however, is a story that takes place in good part on Abydos. It’s been one Abydonian year to the day that Daniel left the planet …
Avatar: The Last Airbender Episode 14 (Animated)
Avatar: The Last Airbender Episode 14 begins with Aang, Sokka and Katara aiding a man who is being attacked by a platypus bear and he tells them about a fortuneteller named Aunt Wu. They go to the village and discover that everyone believes Aunt Wu’s predictions and they …
Modern Family
Modern Family is a new pilot airing on ABC. It started Fall 09. After watching the premiere I can’t really tell you what the show is about. Apparently it follows 3 couples, all members of the same family.
One of the couples is homosexual. In the pilot they adopted …
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 …
Tool Academy 3
For some reason I have always been attracted to watching the reality television series “Tool Academy” which has been airing from time to time on the American cable television channel VH1. Tool Academy 3 was the most recent one which has a more variety of couples this time, to …
Clueless
The movie version fo Clueless was such a hit that of course the television executives tried to find a way to capitalise on it, bringing into existence Clueless the television series.
Now while this series was okay and by okay I mean bearable, watchable but not good, it lacked in …
48 Hours: Live to Tell
The hit CBS television show 48 Hours has a new spin, and I’ll say up front that I like it. One of the things I’ve disliked about old episodes of 48 Hours is the drama brought about by the story teller, or reporter. It was like propaganda, …
CHiPs: CHP-BMX
CHiPs: CHP-BMX has some extra added drama to it when Sergeant Getraer (Robert Pine) has a family crisis. After a bike race, his young son is hit by a car and is taken to the hospital in serious condition. What amazes me is that Getraer goes to …
Sea Hunt: Killer Whale TV Show
Sea Hunt: Killer Whale is not a favorite of mine in that I just don’t like the subject matter. You know going in that what is going to be shown will be disheartening, and there’s bound to be a sorry ending for the whale. It’s the kind …
Brooke Knows Best Season Two
I don’t really like this show that much. Brooke seems really sweet. But she seems a lot more vapid that I expected. The Hogan family appears to have some boundary issues that are quite apparent. Look at the four of them: a mother who …
Tila Tequila
Tila Tequila is a reality show which has now had two seasons. Warning: Spoilers; The first season bobby won, but he could not deal with her fame, so they had to let it go. The second season, she chose Kristy, who then did not want her, so instead of …
North Little Rock’s Old Mill
I love touring and taking pictures of old mills. I have been to almost every old mill left standing throughout Missouri and Arkansas throughout the years. I was fortunate to finally get to the Noth Little Rock Old Mill on one of our family siteseeing outings a while back. …
Models of the Runway: It’s a Sticky Situation
Wow, I have to tell you, models can be really, really catty sometimes over some extremely stupid things.
This week’s elimination saw one of the models accuse another one of cheating because she saw her use sticky tape on her outfit; which is apparently against the rules because it’s considered …
The Office: Diwali
Once I got A TiVo I began to notice that a lot of shows have a theme to the names of their shows. Friends is always “The one with ” and scrubs always starts with “my”. If “The Office” had a similar title joke it would have to be …
NCIS: UnSEALed
A former Navy Seal, Jack Curtain, breaks out of Leavenworth and into a couple’s home. We think he is going to rape the woman but instead, he ends up stealing the husband’s clothes, changing and leaving through a window.
Gibbs and his team start out the case …
M*A*S*H: Last Laugh
M*A*S*H: Last Laugh is just too vaudeville and slapstick for me to enjoy very much. It’s such low quality compared to the excellency of the prior show that it’s even disappointing.
There are a couple of plots going on, neither of which held my interest. The main story centered …
Stargate SG-1: Endgame
Stargate SG-1: Endgame has some fun moments in it for me and makes for a nice season eight episode of this long-running TV series. Among my favorite scenes:
–the opening, where the two technicians working the graveyard shift talk; it’s just so normal and weird at the same time; …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Beauty Contest TV Show
While the concept of The Andy Griffith Show: The Beauty Contest has its humorous elements, at the same time it’s a bit strange. The strangeness is not because of the contest happening, but the makeup of the contestants. There’s no guideline. Ellie Walker (Elinor Donahue) ends …
Stargate SG-1: Reckoning Part 2
Stargate SG-1: Reckoning Part 2 concludes the show begun the week before though it doesn’t answer a major question about the Daniel Jackson character.
The best parts of the show are the scenes with Daniel and Replicator Sam. They are cunningly written and well portrayed. The scenes …
The Twilight Zone: The Whole Truth TV Show
Jack Carson was a great comedic actor. I liked him because he came across as genuine, no matter what type of character he was playing, even in this one where he’s a used car salesman who bends the truth all kinds of ways as he sells the cars …
South Park: Dead Celebrities
South Park likes to be up to date as far as the stories they cover in their episodes, and this episode seems to take it up a notch. The episode revolves around Ike seeing dead celebrities, and the ghost of Michael Jackson possessing him. It satires the fact that …
Burn Notice: Rough Seas
I’m afraid that Burn Notice: Rough Seas did nothing to hold my interest. I didn’t like the plot or the unfamiliar guest stars. Well, I did recognize one of the actors from The UNIT — Max Martini, but he doesn’t make me want to watch anything. …
Tom Thumb cartoon
U.B. Iwerks was very well respected as an animator of cartoons, and this story of Tom Thumb is a good example of his work. It’s from the golden days of television and is quite good.
It begins with the birth of Tom Thumb, or rather, his delivery by the …
Psych: You can’t Handle this Episode
Well, when the new episode of Psych came out and I heard it starred pro wrestler John Cena, I was definitely intrigued. I didn’t expect it to be a pretty decent episode.
This one is a bit sad to be honest, not only is Shawn’s girlfriend (who I just realized …
Discovery Health (tv station)
Lately, I have been highly intrigued by the Discovery Health Channel on television. Not only does the channel obtain a nice mix of show topics to improve your overall health, but it also aires a great deal of shows about medical miracles and various illnesses and traumatic health …
Star Trek: Spectre of the Gun TV Show
From 1968, Star Trek: Spectre of the Gun is a show I really do love. It’s a take on the events of the O.K. Corral with Wyatt Earp. Of course, it’s based more on the myth of what happened than the reality, but it’s still legend and …
American Dad - Season 4, Eps 1
My Review on what i watch on american dad. Steve found a way to date Lisa Sliver but only not one but two problems. One, Steve parents give them drugs that made him a child then a old man and them himself and two things was going well until …

Beast Wars - Chain of Command
Beast Wars - Chain of Command is one of my all time favorite episodes of the series. I enjoy this episode immensely for several reasons. First of all, it is the first episode of the alien story arc. The alien story arc is one that plays out over the …
The Simpsons: Mona Leaves-a
Well, that was actually kind of a depressing episode of the Simpson’s last night; Mona Leaves-a. I tuned in expecting laughs and there were a few. But, overall, I felt a bit saddened by it.
Homer’s mom returns to Springfield again. This time, because she has faked her death, she …

LG 32″ 720P Television
I absolutely love my LG 720P LCD television set. Given to me as a surprise from a very special friend, I have faithfully been watching television magic on the 32 inch screen. The image quality of the screen is absolutely fantastic and very clear, conveying colors vividly and crisply …
Bold and the Beautiful
Bold and the Beautiful is my favourite soapie. I first started watching it when I was just 16 years old and I have been watching it ever since, I am now 29 years old.
The best thing about this show is that is the 13 years that I have watched …
Star Trek TV Show
The Star Trek television series has always been a favorite of mine. It’s among the best ever in terms of talking about the human condition and ideals. Gene Roddenberry created this wonderful show which has spawned several spin offs and several movies. This original series starred …
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 …
Have I got news for you comedy show
I recently rented out the DVD of have I got news for you, a British comedy show, where comedians and celebrity guests discuss recent news and current affairs. I watched a lot of it on television and the DVD showed the best of the show.
It really was very funny. …

The Soup
The E! television production The Soup, starring Joel McHale, is an incredibly fun and hilarious half hour of television. It is essentially a venue for McHale and his team of interns (the staff of this show is impressively small) to take a look at the past week in …
Project Runway: Fashion Headliners
Last night’s Project Runway episode “Fashion Headliners” was definitely an interesting one but still a bit on the predictable side of things. The second Heidi said their project had something to do with the concept of black and white, I immediately thought of print and naturally it turned out …
Diagnosis Murder: Nirvana TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: Nirvana isn’t really a favorite episode of this series for me, but it still has some good moments. Dick Van Dyke is so good that he takes the mediocre and makes it worth watching. In this first season outing, Van Dyke’s Dr. Mark Sloan checks …
Star Trek: Miri TV Show
Kim Darby plays the title role in Star Trek: Miri. Darby has a distinctive look. I call it pouty. She is always strong and sure, and her voice is equally so. She has a presence around her that makes her stand out. I always …
