Once Upon a Time (ABC tv series)
I’ve always had a love for Fairy tales and Disney movies and so I was intrigued when a family member introduced “Once Upon a Time” to me. I didn’t have a lot of hope for it though since it looked a little low budget and I didn’t see how …
Felicity show
I really like the show Felicity. i feel like to accuratly portays what its like going through your four years of college, with new friends new boyfriends breakups and make ups. Its a really fantastic program that i enjoy watching over and over again. It comes on the WE …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Naked Now
Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Naked Now is just bad. Just plain bad. The first episode to air after the series premier is a comedy show that has very few actually humorous parts and is riddled with nonsensical lines of dialogue tied in with awkward performances. Boy …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Hollow Pursuits
Star Trek: The Next Generation - “Hollow Pursuits” is an episode that I enjoy watching because it shows a couple of things that make the show more realistic and the characters more real. Through the character of Lt. Reginald Barcley, it is shown that not every person on the …
Mr. Monk is the Best Man
Last night’s episode of Monk; Mr. Monk is the Best Man, ended up being a bit predictable but it was actually pretty darn funny too.
Stoddlemeyer ends up proposing to his girlfriend TK (even though they have only been dating for 6 months and seem to rush into the ceremony …
Real Hosewives of Atlanta - Reunion
Bravo had done it again. Oh yes they have. Most Reality shows i’ve seen end with my favourite part of the show…..the Reunion…oh yes oh yes…the Reunion. Bravo’s Real Housewives of Atlanta is no less. That show just never disappoints. Would you believe, with all the drama….from Kim having …
The TV show Lost
The TV show lost was a great show when it first came up and than somewhere down the line the producers made the show just go all stupid. Seriously, the show was addictive when the first few seasons came out and was so on the edge of your seat …
The Big Bang Theory
I’m not a big TV watcher but as soon as I saw the first Big Bang Theory show I was hooked. This show is absolutely hilarious!
Basically it’s about a group of scientists who are best friends and work at a nearby university in California. Two of them …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Pandora’s Box TV Show
From May 1962, Have Gun - Will Travel: Pandora’s Box was the 35th show of the fifth season for this Richard Boone western series. This outing had some politics to it and those aren’t usually shows I enjoy that much. Basically, Paladin (Boone) is asked to bring …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Danny Thomas TV Show
Danny Thomas was the Man of the Hour for an edition of The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast, taped in Las Vegas. The only one on the dais that I knew of with a true connection to Thomas was Milton Berle. It’s not that he doesn’t know the …
The Dean Martin Show Classics: Volume 2 DVD
The Dean Martin Show Classics: Volume 2 continues showing excerpts from various episodes of The Dean Martin Show. I love the same thing about this volume that I do the first one, and that is that it shows whole segments and portions of the show without talking over …
NCIS: Iced Season 3, Episode 19
NCIS is called in when a naval officer’s body is found frozen in a pond. When they go to investigate, they find more than one body. Their investigation leads them to a local gang where they find the answers to their questions.
This was a very good episode, …
Mr. Monk Gets Hypnotized
When it comes to season finales, or at least summer finales, you think the show Monk would leave its best episode for last, in an effort to keep you wanting more.
Mr. Monk Gets Hypnotized is not one of the best episodes I’ve seen.
Really, nothing about this episode is unique …
That Girl: No Man Is a Manhattan Island
In That Girl: No Man Is a Manhattan Island, Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) appears on a game show where her success depends on knowing her neighbors. I actually had a problem with how this introductory scene went because we’ve seen Ann with a lot of her neighbors, and …

Without A Trace (A TV Series)
I followed this team of FBI agents dedicated to looking for missing people. Their office is in New York. It also includes stories about the personal lives of the agents. This has run for seven seasons, but there are reports that there will be no eight season.
I am …
Spongebob Squarepants Season One - Suds
Spongebob is sent home one day from work at the Krusty Krab because he is not feeling so well and he was not productive. It just kills him to leave work because he loves that place. The more and more that he sits around the house, he …
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 …
M*A*S*H: Exorcism
M*A*S*H: Exorcism begins with a telling bit when a Korean salesman sets up shop to get rid of his wares. He’s also put up a spirit post to keep all the bad spirits away. When Colonel Potter (Harry Morgan) tells the company clerk to get rid of …
Highway Patrol: Scared Cop TV Show
Highway Patrol: Scared Cop felt very odd to me. The story revolves around one of the members of the California Highway Patrol. He’s an officer on the force who is due for promotion, but when we first meet him, he’s making a stop of a speeding car. …
Ghost Hunters International TV Episode: Amsterdamned
Synopsis: The GHI team investigates a house that is infamous for a reported 4 separate suicides in the attic and apparently causes bad luck for those who live there. They also investigate a former Nazi bunker turned into a museum.
What I liked about this episode: I wasn’t a huge …
Games
After going through a season filled with a great reality-based hiring process for new assistants, I really expected more from House�s final decision.
The fact he was forced to make his choice was a bit interesting but the doctors dealing with a drugged-out rocker who was more than likely …
M*A*S*H: Dear Dad… Three
M*A*S*H: Dear Dad… Three simply refers to this being the third episode where we get a full out letter from Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) to his father. These episodes are always so good to watch. They provide glimpses of life at the 4077th and allow a lot …
HBO television
Am I the only one who has been wondering what is going on with HBO tv these days? I swear, back in the day, I could turn on HBO and regardless of the time of day or night, there would always be some intriguing, hot, steamy thriller on. …
The Year Without a Santa Claus
The Year Without a Santa Claus first aired in 1974, and it’s been a holiday staple ever since. I’ve watched it every year, and oftentimes more than once. It’s one of the best animated Christmas vehicles out there, in my opinion. In fact, I just watched …
Probe: Now You See It…
From March 1988, Probe: Now You See It… makes me chuckle. The fun part about the lead character of Austin James (Parker Stevenson) is that he is responsible for some great inventions. One of his creations is what I’ll call the talking elevator. It greets you, …
Friends sitcom
Although this show is no longer on the air with new episodes, it is often on with reruns, and the DVDs are readily available at most major retailers, so it is easy to get your hands on them.
We love this show. When there is nothing on televsion, we often …
Ghost Hunters: Garden State Ghosts
Whenever the TAPS team ends up in New Jersey, it is almost always going to be a disappointment. The cases in the Garden State Ghosts episode weren’t much different.
They visited two places, an old mill and the proprietary house that once housed a royal governor. The highlight of both …
The Flash TV Season 2, Episode 10: Potential Energy
The teaser brought some worry for me because it showed the most used material of all and probably what all superheroes have nightmares - losing someone they love at the hands of their archenemies.
It was tried and tested and while this was scary, I wished the show came in …
Stylista Season 1
After the influence that I got from America’s Next Top Model, I was hooked in watching Tyra’s recently produced TV reality show, “Stylista”. Unlike Top Model wherein Tyra is hosting the show, Stylista has Anne Slowey from Elle Magazine hosting the show. It also stars Joe Zee, creative director …
Ghost Hunters: Eastern State Penitentary
We were watching another season 1 episode of Ghost Hunters last night “Eastern State Penitentary” and I have to say I was left less than impressed.
You would think a place like a prison would provide quite a few scary moments and even had some investigators running for their lives …
Snoop Dogg’s Fatherhood - Snoop’s Got Heart
I’m a weekly viewer of Snoop Dogg’s E television show, Snoop Dogg’s Fatherhood..and in this episode, Snoop’s Got Heart, it primarily features Snoop coaching his little league football team ,and motivating them to strive to be the best at whatever they do, and to always make sure their heart …
The Beast Wars - Part One
The Beast Wars - Part One is the first part of the season premier. As a part of the season one premier, it does do what it is supposed to do and it does it well: it introduces the characters and lays out the plot of the series. I …
The Twilight Zone: The Odyssey of Flight 33 TV Show
I really enjoy watching The Twilight Zone: The Odyssey of Flight 33. It’s full of intrigue. What I like in part is how the entire story takes place on an airplane. It’s really up to the actors who play the pilot and crew to make the …
Law & Order SVU: Retro
Some episodes of Law & Order SVU really do get you thinking. This was the case on tonight’s episode “Retro.”
There are times I wonder how some doctors manage to get and keep their medical degrees. I can understand having a certain point of view when it comes to controversial …
Human Target: Action Thriller TV Series
The promos and ads for Fox TV’s action/adventure series, “Human Target”, piqued my interest, but somehow I missed it when it debuted. I’m glad that I stumbled upon it when I was on Hulu.com and was able to watch the pilot episode, among others, before it was no longer …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Black Ferris TV Show
As respects the August 10, 1990 airing of The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Black Ferris, I’m going to start by saying that I went nuts trying to figure out where I’d seen the main young boy in this story. His real name, Zachary Bennett, was familiar but I …
The Vampire Diaries: Season 2 Episode 3 “Bad Moon Rising”
When we last left Elena and Stefan, they were still dealing with the terrifying effects of a legendary vampire by the name of Katherine, and her return to Mystic Falls, all while trying to have a normal high school life and relationship. The third episode of the season, “Bad …
Law & Order SVU: Pure
Even though the Law & Order SVU episode ‘Pure’ was made about two years ago, last night was the first night I had a chance to actually watch it. And, I have to say, I was really impressed by it.
Martin Short plays the bad guy; who at first seems …
The Sing-Off: Night One
Recently, NBC hosted a four-part program hosted by Nick Lachey where different amateur acapella groups performed. These groups had to essentially sing and make their own music. In other words, it had to sound like there was a band, when there really wasn’t.
The show was a variation …
John Doe: Mind Games TV show
John Doe: Mind Games is a good little story that begins with a woman and a young boy showing up on John’s doorstep and announcing that he’s probably the boy’s father. It’s another variation of the sperm bank story, but a bit more complex than normal.
I was impressed …
Headline Saturday TV Show
Headline Saturday is a show put on by WRAL in Raleigh NC. The show, hosted by one of the television stations anchors David Crabtree usually deals with hot political topics that are going on in North Carolina, specifically in Wake County. Mr. Crabtree along with Melanie Sill the executive …
Law and Order Special Victims Unit “Slaves” Episode
I can’t say that this was one of the best Law and Order SVU Episodes I had watched, but I still liked it and learned quite a bit from it like I have learned from a lot of the other episodes. I am not sure if the episode “Slaves” …
The Commish: Rising Sun TV Show
I was very happy to see that, at last, the third season to The Commish was online over at Hulu because I’ve been anxious to see the episode Rising Sun. The reason for that is that it includes a small role by my favorite, Michael Shanks of Stargate …
Gilligan’s Island - Court Martial TV Show
This episode kind of burns me up. The Navy, where the Skipper chooses to involve himself in for most of his life, blames the Skipper for the Minnow accident. So in this episode the Skipper is mainly the depressed one instead of Gilligan. He gets so depressed he wants to …
Cupcake Wars: Matchmaking Party TV Show
This edition of Cupcake Wars was a competition whereby the winner would be presenting their cupcakes on display at an OK Magazine matchmaking party. Cupcakes are apparently becoming a hot and trendy thing around the country, something that fascinates me to a point. I’ve always loved cupcakes, …
Law & Order SVU TV Episode: Penetration
There wasn’t much on TV last night so I ended up watching a re-run of Law & Order SVU on NBC called Penetration.
This wasn’t the first time I have seen this episode. I watched bits and pieces of it when it first aired but really wasn’t all that interested …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Destroy Seaview! TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Destroy Seaview! is the 26th and final outing for this successful science fiction show’s third year of televising. It begins with a surprising move when Admiral Harriman Nelson (Richard Basehart) inexplicably sets off an explosion that causes a cave in, thereby …
Highway Patrol: Portrait of Death TV Show
Highway Patrol: Portrait of Death is the 7th episode of the fourth year, airing back in November 1958. Police dramas were different then. This show which has been considered a leader from early television is rather tame and has some real staging and directing problems. However, …
Life After Tomorrow TV Show
Life After Tomorrow was a television special done recently to look back and honor the hit Broadway stage play, Annie. Who doesn’t know this little iconic redheaded orphan and her dog, Sandy? She’s been a comic book, a movie, and a comic strip at one point or …
