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 …
The Tribe Season 1 Episode 1
In this episode, it starts off with a girl and her parents watching the latest on an epidemic or virus that is only affecting the adults; killing them. The news anchor reports there is an evacuation for all the people under eighteen years old and the girl does not …
The Inbetweeners - Series 3 - Episode 5
Nearing the end of the final series of The Inbetweeners now and the fourth episode, was pretty good, though not as good as some of the others.
I found it a fast moving episode, rather than one that was full of really comical moments.
Wills mum has gone away with an …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Beauty Contest
I took the day off yesterday to spend it with the kids and, because I was trying to get my youngest to take a nap (while rocking with her in the rocking chair), I ended up flipping channels and came across an Andy Griffith Show re-run entitled The Beauty …
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 2 (Anime)
Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex Episode 2 begins with a robotic prototype going crazy during a demonstration and escapes; it’s up to Section 9 to stop it from destroying property and hurting people.
This episode was great; it had a lot of interesting things going on in …
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: To Kill a Princess
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: To Kill a Princess is another standard fare for this show that really wanted to be Indiana Jones in Malaya. Instead, it’s zookeeper with an overzealous love life. In fact, what began as one of those nice, undercurrent love stories between stars Bruce …
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 …
E! News Weekend (E! network show)
I like this channel because they bring you so much information about the celebrities that you love to watch. But I am left a little cold with this particular show. The E! news doesn’t really seem to be as focused as I would like it to …
Fireball XL5: Space Pen
One of the things I’ve longed realized about Fireball XL5 is that the lovely blonde Venus gets more change of clothing than any of the other characters. I suppose that’s how it really is in life anyway, but it’s amused me quite a bit. In this show …
Steve Wilkos show
I wanted to write about a good show on t.v. It’s called the Steve Wildos Show. It’s a talk show about differant bad situations, and he tries to fix them. Some really bad people come on the show. And instead of just talking and being nice to them, like …
Psych TV Episode: American Duos
I have heard about the Psych episode American Duos ever since it first aired some time ago. But, for some reason, I have never had an opportunity to actually watch it. So, when I discovered they had the second season of this show available on our Netflix Instant Watch, …
That Girl: There Was a Time Ann Met a Pie Man
That Girl: There Was a Time Ann Met a Pie Man is an episode I’ve always remembered, mainly because of the central theme of the show and the publicity that it received when it first aired on ABC. While actress Ann Marie has made progress in her career, …
Highway Patrol: Suicide TV Show
A young Richard Bull, known for playing the doctor on Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and later the store owner in Little House on the Prairie, plays an ex-mobster who is murdered by his brother in the Suicide episode of Highway Patrol. Bull’s role is pretty …
The Simpsons: The Frying Game
OK, I’ll admit the Simpsons episode The Frying Game was both interesting and funny.
I’m not sure where to begin with this one. You have Homer being sentenced to community service because he accidentally injures a rare screaming caterpillar. And, during his meals on wheels work, comes across a rich …
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Senior Spirit
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Senior Spirit is awesome episode and is perhaps the best show to air since the pilot. In this show, Brisco is surprised when Socrates shows him a piece of the orb that had been with his father’s affects. There’s actually a …
House: Unfaithful
OK, for the most part, last night’s House episode “Unfaithful” was a bit better than some of the more recent episodes in the series. At least we actually had a case that was baffling and the central theme of the whole episode rather than something that takes place on …
A Baby Story (TLC show)
Babies are wonderful. They are cute, cuddly, and they’re the future. But do I want to watch every single woman’s baby story on a reality television program? No, I do not. For some reason, this show grosses me out. I like the idea …
Shear Genius
Last night, while waiting for the new season of Project Runway to start, I came across a show I didn’t even know existed; Shear Genius.
While the premise of the show, I admit, is a unique one; I’m not sold on the program.
The point behind the show, as I can …
Sea Hunt: Missile Watch TV Show
From February 1960, which was its third season, Sea Hunt: Missile Watch starred Lloyd Bridges as diving expert, Mike Nelson. This show was pretty interesting to watch. That said, I felt Nelson made a couple of dumb moves that made no sense to me at all.
In Sea …
Due South: Victoria’s Secret: Part 1
Things are changing on Due South. This two-parter, Victoria’s Secret, has a different opening. I don’t know yet if that was just for this episode, or if it’s a transition for more things. One thing that definitely is altering, though, is the presentation of the …
The Simpsons: Tree House of Horror XX
I have watched pretty much every Simpsons Tree House of Horrors episode since the first one and have been very disappointed with some of the more recent episodes. My biggest complaint is they often use some sort of movie spoof of a film that isn’t even a horror movie …
Spartacus: Blood and Sand ( Television Show )
I recently started watching a wonderful show on Starz called Spartacus: Blood and Sand, and I want to share with you my thoughts and views on the show.
First off, the show is really, really amazing. I have been drawn in since the moment I started watching it, and …
House: Big Baby
Come on now, did we honestly think Cameron would step into Cuddy’s job and be an instant success at it? The second that was even suggested last week I had to laugh. Since when can any woman on the show House say no to him? Especially one that owes …
The X-Files: Season 1, Episode 7: Ghost in the Machine
From what I’ve read, this episode got mostly negative reviews. I’m not sure why. I mean, yeah, the opening makes it clear that the machine is responsible (though I’ll take that over teasers that don’t imply anything out of the ordinary) and it was a tad formulaic, …
Hawaii Five-O: Pray Love Remember, Pray Love Remember
My favorite part of Hawaii Five-O: Pray Love Remember, Pray Love Remember is about a third of the way in when McGarrett has a conversation with a young girl named Mioshi. McGarrett’s been investigating a murder at an educational institute and is still searching for clues. While …
Shatner’s Raw Nerve: Regis Philbin
Shatner’s Raw Nerve: Regis Philbin proved to be much more interesting than I thought it was going to be. I loved the opening remark when Shatner said something to the effect of, “We’ve known each other 40 years, but we really don’t know each other.”
Regis talked a bit …
Laramie: The Long Road Back TV Show
Laramie: The Long Road Back isn’t really one of my favorite episodes, but that’s mostly because it’s an hour that focuses on John Smith’s character of Slim Sherman. I so much prefer the buddy shows in which Smith shares the western hour with Robert Fuller and his much …
Afro Samurai Episode 4 (Anime)
Afro Samurai Episode 4 begins with Afro and Kuma battling each other and we see Afro’s past with his friend Jino.
This was a great episode and it was very well done. The fight scenes were really good, and there’s a surprise that I won’t spoil for you, …
America’s got talent
America’s got talent is a great TV show and I love that the show is very entertaining but one of the best things about this show would have to be the judges. I like the attitude of Howie Mandel because he has a friendly but sarcastic attitude at times …
Midsomer Murders: A British TV Series
Once in a while I would sit down to a British TV show and enjoy myself for a few hours. I find British shows to be interesting, even though it starts a little bit slow, but slowly becomes very riveting as the story unfolds. I like them for the …
Buck Rogers - Planet of the Slave Girls
The first episodes of the Buck Rogers television series feature two top notch guest stars: Roddy McDowell in a minor role and Jack Palance in an OUTRAGEOUSLY campy appearance as a villain who has the power of mind control and is selling people into intergalactic slavery. This episode drags …
Dancing With the Stars: S11, Wk 5 Performance TV Show
The performance show for the 11th season of Dancing With the Stars, Week 5, was again given too much time. The network is milking this show, and if they aren’t careful, they’ll overdo it and viewers will go away. We’re smart, and we’ll tire of being toyed …
The Twilight Zone: The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street TV Show
I don’t like watching The Twilight Zone: The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street, not because the show is bad, but because it’s so accurate. The show is very well done and has some very believable acting within it. I just hate seeing the harshness of man …
The Big Bang Theory Season 1 Episode 11
This episode of The Big Boom Theory started out with a very comical game of “3d chess.” I found this to be very unique and wouldn’t have thought of it myself. I’m actually quite curious as to if it’s even a real game.
During the game, Penny comes over and …
Stargate SG-1: The Fourth Horseman Part 1
Stargate SG-1: The Fourth Horseman Part 1 has a lot of drama in it, some of which I liked and some of which I didn’t. The highlights, on both sides, include:
–We start off with more basketball playing. It’s just another sign that Daniel isn’t the Daniel of …
Grey’s Anatomy Television show
Talk about great surprises! I was reluctant to watch this show; there are so many medical shows out there. However, I was greatly surprised when I watched Grey’s Anatomy. The show has fantastic character development on top of the appealing storylines. Grey’s Anatomy sets a …
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. …
Slash & Myles Kennedy MTV classic launch
Since Slash has made his new solo album and everyone has cited it as a very good album. Slash and Myles Kennedy were filmed for a live MTV launch program to promote the album as well as play some classic Guns N’ Roses hits live. I watched this concert …
The Bucket of Truth
The Bucket of Truth was the first episode of the cult classic sketch comedy show, the Upright Citizens Brigade. It was also my first introduction to the series, which I happened to watch out of curiosity. I was very glad that I did: in those days I …
Mr. Monk & the Candidate
I got the first season of the show Monk for Christmas and finally got a chance to watch the very first episode again; Mr. Monk and the Candidate. This is a fantastic episode.
Even though I do wish they would have spent a bit more time talking about the death …
Project Runway: Season 8 Premier TV Show
I really loved the prolonged introduction of all of the contestants. The show spent several minutes having the designers meet in groups, little by little. They chatted, and we listened. They met at airports, train stations, and on ferry
boats. They met two at time and …
Batman: The Brave and the Bold: Legends of the Dark Mite
Words can not express how amazing this episode is. It’s written by Paul Dini, which is a major indicator of the high quality you’re in for. It also features Bat-Mite voiced by Paul Reubens.
The episode is just so geekily awesome. There are references galore to the …
Saved by the Bell: The College Years
Saved by the Bell the College Years was a short lived show on NBC that followed some of the characters from the original show as they went off to college. In the pilot episode there was only Zach, Slater and Screech, but Kelly turned up in the second episode …
Iron Chef America
One of my very favourite television shows is Iron Chef America. It is shown on the Food Network (Channel 34 on Cogeco Cable) several times a week, generally in the evenings after 9 p.m.
The premise of the television show is that chefs who are specialists in different areas …
The Simpsons Season 3 Episode 8 Lisa’s Pony
Homer reaches late for Lisa’ talent show, and because of which he could not give her the reed which Lisa wanted, and the end result, she loses. Lisa is very mad at her father for this. She is not willing to forgive him. He tries everything and then decides …
Ghost Hunters: The Fear Cage
Well, that was a halfway decent Ghost Hunters episode. I started out watching “The Fear Cage” expecting not to see to much. But, it turned out to be pretty interesting.
The TAPS team visited the Cashman Inn; where a lot of confederate soldiers and generals stayed leading up to Gettysburg. …
Seven days Season 2 Episode 13
I really liked this episode. Not because it was realized greatly, because it wasn’t but because I really liked the plot. It was one of the best episodes of this show that I saw until now. It is about something that we all would like to happen to us. …
Untold Stories of the ER (TLC)
I had never heard of this show until I ran across it one Sunday evening. I was amazed that these ER stories were so graphic. I was also surprised by the light tone that the show seemed to have. With such weird and shocking …
Dell Notebooks (television commercial)
The young man is walking with his red Dell laptop computer. As he struts down the street various people begin to touch him in a congratulatory fashion. The first man actually pats the young man on the bottom. He never seems to skip a …
The Solitary Cyclist
I am reviewing the Solitary Cyclist, a Sherlock Holmes adventure from the boxed set, The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes, which was produced by Granada television in 1983. In this episode, Holmes is employed by a music teacher. She cycles to work every morning, and is followed by …
