That Girl: Hearing Today, Gone Tomorrow
That Girl: Hearing Today, Gone Tomorrow is a very good episode. I remembered this one. It always makes me laugh. The general premise is that Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) is up for a commercial for a car product to be shot outdoors in the current snow …
M*A*S*H: Change of Command
M*A*S*H: Change of Command marks the arrival of Colonel Sherman Potter to the 4077th.

The Office Seasons 1 & 2
This is a great television show that I was turned on to by my sister who also likes the show. If you haven’t already heard about The Office, it’s a hysterical view of the Dunder Mifflin paper company. The head boss Michael Scott bases his work ethics on fun …

ABC’S Ugly Betty-A BRAVE Show and a huge hit bound to become a favorite ABC’s long anticipated show Ugly Betty finally premiered last week, and 16.32 million of us watched. I was at work that night and didn’t get back in time to see it. I did however …
Project Runway: The Hi’s and Low’s of Fashion
I haven’t really been watching this season of Project Runway; mostly because the last season just ended. But, I did watch last night’s challenge; the Hi’s and Lows of Fashion.
This challenge was actually somewhat interesting. Once again, the show decides to create tension by having the designers pair up …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea Season 3 Vol 2 DVD
The third season of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea is routinely vilified by fans of science fiction as a tragic end to an otherwise phenomenal program. The main problem with Season Three was the fact that it generally centered on some truly awful and ludicrous plots that …
CSI Season 8, Episode 5
This episode of CSI is one of the best Halloween type episodes of all time and of all shows. The episode follows the making of a horror movie, where one of the starlets mysteriously dies. The team finds that the film crew has made up security footage and done …
The Simpsons: Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire
Hey, look at that. I came across back-to-back Simpsons episodes tonight and they were both Christmas related.
“Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire” is by far my favorite though. For those of you who don’t understand the history of the show, this is the very first Simpsons episode (after it …

Adam-12: The Grandmothers
From season four, Adam-12: The Grandmothers has a cute little side story that evolves from a crime at a small shop owned by an elderly woman. Florence Lake plays Mrs. Frieda Pine, the owner of the store. She’s spry and full of vinegar, as the saying goes. …

Emergency!: Weird Wednesday is all about having one of those crazy days when nothing but odd things happen. It begins for Johnny and Roy with a woman parachutist who gets stuck in a tree. She’s undaunted by it all, though, and ready to go right back at …
Psych TV Episode: Not So Close Encounters
My wife didn’t stay up to watch it, but I managed to see the latest episode of Psych last night; Not So Close Encounters. And, so far, I think it is the best one I have seen this season.
Basically, we learn early on that Shawn and Gus are obsessed …
American Dad show
This show is brought to us by the same people that brought us Family Guy. And like Family Guy, it is a gratuitously vulgar show with little comedic value that I cannot understand why it is on my television set.
Really, what is funny about this show? I’ve …
Vizio M260VA 26″ RAZOR LED LCD HDTV
The Visio M260VA is our first flat-screen TV. We got the 26 inch so it will fit inside our TV stand (the stand is solid wood, looks beautiful, and holds many movies along with several glass figurines which is why we wanted to keep the old TV stand with …

John Doe seaon 1 episode 7 Mind Games
John Doe is a very good show that unfortunately had just one season back at 2002-2003. It is about a man who has no memory of his past but oddly knows everything else, he knows all the information about any possible argument, during the show different people call him …
Red Dwarf: TIkka to Ride
I don’t fully understand what the title “Tikka to Ride” means but then I have always suspected that there is quite a lot in Red Dwarf that I am missing. This is the first episode in Series 7 and though there are considerable stupid things in any episode …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Penelope TV Show
From December 1962, the 13th show of the sixth season, Have Gun - Will Travel: Penelope was an average episode in my opinion.
This particular program opened in San Francisco with Col. Oliver Lacey as played by Lawrence Dobkin studying Paladin who is engaged in a solo game of chess.
Lacey …
That Girl: The Russians Are Staying
That Girl: The Russians Are Staying from the fifth season of this pure comedy series is the last one of the series that leaves me a little vacant. I found the plot about a Russian comedian named Nicholai (Bob Dishy) to be too stereotypical and it simply wasn’t …
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 …
Doctor Who: Season 3, Episode 13: The Sound of Drums

Lone Star: Pilot TV Show
The much hyped pilot episode of Lone Star was directed by Peter Horton, so I assumed off the bat that it should be a riveting and quality show. In reality, it was. It included a couple of memorable lines, even. I was fascinated by an early …
Monster Episode 20 (Anime)
Monster Episode 20 begins with a couple, Mr. and Mrs. Jones driving through the country. They notice Dr. Tenma and Dieter hitch hiking and offer to give them a lift. They find out that Mr. Jones is a former policeman and Tenma wonders if they’ll turn him …
A Man Called Hawk: Choice of Chance
The first thing I noticed about A Man Called Hawk: Choice of Chance was the opening scene with a church choir singing the song, “Elijah Rock.” I absolutely adore that song. We used to sing in choir way back in junior high school. I really haven’t …
The Virginian: Big Day, Great Day
For a western, The Virginian did do some very different things. For example, The Virginian: Big Day, Great Day includes a day at the lake with visitors in their swimming suits. Not only that, but the opening scene includes a phone call in Denver. A western …
Cobra 11 TV show
I don’t usually watch tv shows and specially not those about the police.I saw a few episodes of Cobra 11, a german police movie and the only thing I remember is that there are 2 protagonists, one of them is really cute and they have to make sure that …

Supernanny
I’ve only just recently begun to watch the reality show called Supernanny. Apparently, it was ABC’s answer to a Fox show about nannies. That show was said to be harsher and crueler, whereas this show is more centered on love. Since I never watched either show …
Everybody Loves Raymond
I have a tendency to forget about shows like Everybody Loves Raymond. See the thing with it is that it’s a great solid, funny show but it’s old and so you don’t really get to see it as often as when it first airs but every time I …
The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 9: Firewalker
This episode is set up very much like “Ice” and “Darkness Falls”. Normally, this would be a good thing. Those were both very good episodes, and I even said that those were prime examples of how to do a one and done monster of the week episode. …
Peep Show - Channel 4 - Series 7 - Episode 2
The second episode in the new Peep Show series was very good, but once again, I felt let down by the lack of any real reference to the last episode of the previous series. The woman that Jeremy was now really keen on was back in this with her …
YOUNG SHELDON, series
As a fan of THE BIG BANG THEORY, I couldn’t help but watch its spin-off YOUNG SHELDON.
Honestly, when I found out that the leading roles would be given to children, I had my doubts, but would the series be interesting? After all, children are much harder to play …
The Event: To Keep Us Safe TV Show
The Event: To Keep Us Safe is the second episode of this ‘don’t blink or you’ll miss something’ drama from NBC. The show stars Jason Ritter as Sean Walker, Laura Innes as Sophia Maguire, Sarah Roemer as Leila Buchanan, Blair Underwood as President Elias Martinez, Ian Anthony Dale …
The Twilight Zone: I Shot an Arrow into the Air TV Show
From season one, The Twilight Zone: I Shot an Arrow into the Air is a decent show, but perhaps it is the ironic and tragic fate of the story’s characters that puts me off. It’s not really one that has a happy ending, and I’m not into melancholy at …
M*A*S*H: Souvenirs
M*A*S*H: Souvenirs focuses on the issue of wartime souvenirs. In this case, helicopter pilot Willie Stratton, played by Michael Bell, gets locals and kids to scavenger for him, collecting all kinds of trinkets and souvenirs which he then sells and makes a huge profit from. The problem …
Jon and Kate + 8
I am not completely sure how long the hit reality show “Jon and Kat + 8″ have been going on on TLC. I think it might have started last year though and I can distinctly remember wanting to see the pilot of it when I saw it advertising; since …
Doctor Who: Season 2, Episode 8: The Idiot’s Lantern
This is probably the most lackluster Doctor Who episode to date. It had promise, but so much of it fell flat for me that it just wasn’t as enjoyable as the other episodes. The plot is similar to “Batman Forever”, but instead of the Riddler, it’s a …
Stargate SG-1: Bad Guys
Okay, I admit it. For some odd reason, I actually do like this tenth season entry for Stargate SG-1, even with Vala there. “Bad Guys” is really the only one I can think of that I can make that statement with. Of course, Vala is with …
“Raising Hope” TV Show Pilot Episode
I like this show. It is so unlike other shows on tv now. The plot is a young man in his early twenties lives with is parents who had him at 15. They all live with a senile grandmother who comes in and out of lucidity. …
COPS
I like the TV show COPS. It’s very entertaining and exciting. COPS is show that shows the real life events of cops going after dangerous criminals. I like the show because it is very fast paced intense. You will see lots of gun shots fights and crazy things on COPS. …
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: Ed McMahon TV Show
Johnny Carson’s The Tonight Show sidekick Ed McMahon was the Man of the Week on this edition of The Dean Martin Comedy Hour. Carson was roasted himself a few episodes after this one. Oddly, Carson didn’t attend this roast, and McMahon wasn’t at Carson’s. You’d think …
Eastenders
I have been a fan of eastenders for many many years. I love all the drama, Love and tears, it is a classic British soap. What on earth happened!!!! I think the show has gone way down lately, and the writers are just taking storylines from other soaps, for …
Ashes to Ashes
If you watched Life on Mars last year then you will surely be watching this and it is proving to be just as enjoyable.
Similar to Life on Mars a cop is injured and wakes up in the past and the main characters they meet are the same. These characters …
