The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 47: The Bird of Kildarby

That Girl: Sock It to Me
Season three of That Girl begins with Sock It to Me, an episode featuring guest star Barry Sullivan. I’m not sure if it’s the use of star Sullivan that makes this worthy of a season opener, or if it just happened that way. Last season, it …
Star Trek: Metamorphosis TV Show
Star Trek: Metamorphosis isn’t in my top favorites, but it is a solid episode that gives us some history as well. The premise is that a shuttle from the Enterprise is heading back to the ship after picking up a rather opinionated and ungrateful Ambassador Nancy Hedford (Elinor …
Climax!: Casino Royale TV Show
Hosted by William Lundigan, Barry Nelson, Peter Lorre, and Linda Christian starred in the Casino Royale presentation of Climax! It’s presented in acts, which I love. That’s a very classic way of putting on a performance. This is really going back in TV history, to 1954. …
How I Met Your Mother - Front Porch
“Front Porch” is the episode of How I Met Your Mother originally airing on CBS on March 16, 2009. This was a very funny episode with a lot of great physical comedy and a few powerful scenes. This is probably the best comedy on American television.
Pros: …

Who is Eli Stone? If you are not watching the ABC network on Thursday nights than you probably have no idea. Eli Stone is the main character of a show with the same name. Eli just recently found that he suffers from an inoperable brain aneurism. It all started …

Doctor Who: Season 3, Episode 5: Evolution of the Daleks
The newly ascended Dalek Sec makes his debut, and pretty much proceeds to steal the show. At first, it doesn’t seem like too much has changed. Sec’s initital assessment of mankind is less than positive. On the contrary, he seems to see a lot of Dalek in …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Jinx TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: The Jinx, from January 1962 which was part of this comedy show’s second season on the air, was a solid half hour of entertainment, though to be honest, it’s not one I really like all that much. I’ve watched it numerous times. I …
The Prisoner: It’s Your Funeral
The Prisoner: It’s Your Funeral is a little strange, but then most episodes of The Prisoner are strange. In this episode, Number Six’s moves are being tracked, recorded, and reported, and we get an idea of how the imprisoned ex-spy spends his time and keeps in shape.
There’s yet …

Stargate SG-1: Solitudes
Stargate SG-1: Solitudes has some great moments in it and continues to be an episode I think of fondly. There’s a lot of angst in it, and we see the determination to survive and to never give up on many of the team’s faces.
A Stargate malfunction tosses Jack …

Bones: The Bones that Foam
Well, last night’s episode of Bones wasn’t too bad; at least compared to some of the weaker episodes that have aired recently.
You have a corpse being discovered by a bungie-jumping couple on their wedding day. And, after ruling out suicide or accidental death, the team finds its murder investigation …
Stargate Atlantis: Identity
The 18th episode of this last season of the series, Stargate Atlantis: Identity, gives us a strange-acting Jennifer Keller. The good doctor just isn’t acting like herself. Of course, we the viewers get a clue from the beginning, since it’s a different actress everyone thinks it’s Jennifer …
Dancing with the Stars - 3/22/10 TV Show
Dancing with the Stars began its 10th season by introducing Brooke Burke as the new co-host, replacing Samantha Harris. Brooke was too low key. She’s hosted before so I was surprised she didn’t have more spark to her frequent bits on the show. Maybe it was …
Everybody Hates Chris show
When I saw the previews for this new show, I knew instantly that I would be drawn to it. Aside from enjoying Chris Rock’s honest brand of humor, I noticed that several colorful character actors were on board for the laughs. Tichina Arnold and Terry Crews do a …
Simpsons: Homer’s Barbershop Quartet
I saw a Simpson’s episode I haven’t seen in a while “Homer’s Barbershop Quartet” and it is as good as I remember it.
For those who haven’t seen this episode (or maybe don’t remember it), it talks about a time in Homer’s past when he, Principal Skinner, Apu and Barney …
Spongebob Squarepants TV Episode: One Krab’s Trash
Since my youngest daughter has yet to learn to sleep in on the weekends (her older sister and cat have that problem too), I ended up watching some TV with her this morning and ultimately settled for watching Spongebob Squarepants.
The first episode that was on TV this morning was …
Laramie: The Mountain Men TV Show
Dan Duryea is back in Laramie: The Mountain Men, and this isn’t one of the roles I prefer to see him in. He did several episodes of this series, though, including the very first episode, Stage Stop. Here he is Ben Sanford, the father of the mountain …
Columbo: A Stitch in Crime TV Show
Columbo’s A Stitch in Crime from season two has been a show I’ve always remembered. Leonard Nimoy guest starred as a surgeon who attempts to kill his mentor via certain actions on the operating table, and the only one who believes that is Sharon Martin, a surgical nurse. …

The League of Gentlemen - Series Three
The League of Gentlemen may have quickly established itself as a sketch show with a difference, but with the third series comes an even more original, ingenious approach.

The Simpsons Tv Show
The Simpsons is a popular childrens and sometimes adult show on channel ten, usually shown at 6pm week nights. I would not recommend this television show to children under the age of fifteen as I feel like their is alot of adult concepts in the show.
For instance …
My Gym Partner’s a Monkey cartoon
I’m typically open-minded when it comes to the cartoons my daughter watches. Most on television have something objectionable but she’s smart enough not to copy what she sees and I do my part to make sure she understands right from wrong.
The cartoon “My Gym Partner’s A Monkey,” which appears …

Devious Maids (tv series)
I discovered a lot of television series last year, but one of them that remains my favourite is “Devious Maids”. This is despite its very close resemblance to one of those daytime soap operas.
I would watch “Devious Maids” every Sunday night when it would air on Lifetime, and I …
Stargate SG-1: New Order Part 2
Stargate SG-1: New Order Part 2 makes the big transition official, but not until Jack has been unfrozen and the System Lords sent on their way.
The fun part of this episode is when Thor beams Daniel up to his ship, The Daniel Jackson. I adore that! Daniel …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Pangs
I’ve seen several Christmas episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer before. But, the episode “Pangs” is the first one I’ve seen that takes place at Thanksgiving. And, for the most part, it wasn’t too bad.
Of course, while I’m all for the spirit of political correctness, watching an episode about …
Shark show
Shark stars James Woods.
Any show with James Woods is okay with me. I truly feel that he is the country’s finest actor and can carry a show by himself. In this case he does, as the show is not special in any way. The writers need …
Laramie: Trail Drive
Jim Davis, perhaps best known as the patriarch on the nighttime soap opera Dallas, guest starred in the Trail Drive episode of the western Laramie. This first season episode has always been a favorite. The show opens with an impressive gun duel between Davis’ character of Hake …

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 …
Death Note the Anime
Death Note is an anime series that took my breath away. At first I was skeptic about an anime that could interest me, but after I saw the first episodes I knew this was going to be special.
The story revolves around Light Yagami, a high-school student, head of his …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Lie to Me
Every once in a while, the series Buffy the Vampire Slayer will dedicate an episode to teaching its main character an important life lesson.
The episode Lie to Me focuses on teaching Buffy the importance of knowing who to trust.
This episode brought in one of her friends from Los Angeles …
Seven days Season 2 episode 4
Among all the Seven days episodes that I have seen I must admit that this one is one of the better ones. It’s about humanity and impossibility to do what you think is the right thing to do.The beginning looks like the cheap scary movie beginnings, rain, thunder, graveyard, …
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: I Love You Molly McGraw TV show
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: I Love You Molly McGraw starts out with some animal angst, which I never enjoy watching. It’s Evan’s horse, Diablo, who develops a leg injury and might have to be put down. Then it’s new vet, Molly McGraw (Ann Dusenberry) who operates and …
M*A*S*H: Bottle Fatigue
I was really happy to see M*A*S*H: Bottle Fatigue come along towards the end of the eighth season of this astounding comedy series. There is an earlier episode where they’d had a chance to really deal with alcoholism, but didn’t. It left me with a bad taste. …
Family Guy: Not All Dogs Go to Heaven
OK, I have to admit, tonight’s episode of Family Guy, “Not All Dogs Go to Heaven” was absolutely amazing. I was laughing so hard at times I was in tears and I think it is an episode I would watch several times again.
You have the main plot, where Meg …
Boy Meets World
Boy Meets World was a cool show. I watched it religiously when I was a kid and I loved it. It was about a boy named Cory, his best friend Shawn and his friend who later became his girlfriend Topanga.

MXC TV show
This is a unique show on Spike. It’s actually a Japanese game show that relies on strange physical challenges and obstacle courses. While this might be entertaining in its own right, the true entertainment value of the show comes from its dubbing. They’ve thrown out any …
Adam-12: Truant
I enjoy Adam-12: Truant quite a bit. Jim Reed (Kent McCord) puts in a suggestion for a new truant program to help keep kids off the streets and drop the crime rate in the area. This is one of the shows that exhibits Jim’s sharp mind and …
