Walking Dead (TV Series)
I am generally not a fan of zombie movies because they’re ususally very low budget and very terrible. Infact I can count on one hand how many zombie movies I’ve actually liked. The “Walking Dead” is different since not only is it the 1st zombie television series I’ve seen, …
The Simpsons Season 6 Episode 8
Lisa is good at everything, except one field, and that is sports. She tries her best, but cannot do well in sports at all. However Bart is very good at ice hockey. On one particular match, the entire family goes to see Bart’s game, there Apu realizes Lisa’s potential …
Cracker: True Romance Part 1 TV show
Cracker is a British crime show that I just can’t get into. Of course, I’m watching a second season episode so I’m watching a show mid-stream, but it’s just boring and confusing to me. The main reason for that is that I just don’t get the main …
How I Met Your Mother: Intervention
“Intervention” was a pretty funny episode of the CBS sit-com How I Met Your Mother. It actually addressed some of the issues a lot of fan are probably thinking that Ted is really rushing into things with Stella, considering she lives in New Jersey and has a young …
House: One Day; One Room
House is made to work in the clinic because he doesn’t have any patients and this time, unlike the others he isn’t able to get out of it. He just doesn’t care about people who have eaten magnets or have an STD because they are stupid.
Then as he is …
What Not to Wear (tv show)
I generally do not watch makeover shows like “What Not to Wear” unless I am very bored and there is not much else going on on cable television. However, I must admit that even though I don’t go out of my way most times to watch it, they do …
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 …
Star Trek: I, Mudd TV Show
Roger C. Carmel returns as the colorful Harry Mudd in this second season episode, Star Trek: I, Mudd. I prefer this one over his first appearance. It’s full of fun, right from the start when McCoy and Spock banter in the corridor. Those were the good …
Hogan’s Heroes TV Episode: Praise the Fuehrer and Pass the Ammunition
I was able to watch a couple Hogan’s Heroes episodes at lunch today, including one called “Praise the Fuehrer and Pass the Ammunition.” This episode was somewhat funny, but honestly could have been better.
The main point of this episode is Hogan and his men are hoping to switch live …
Have Gun - Will Travel: A Sense of Justice
About the first thing I noticed about Have Gun - Will Travel: A Sense of Justice is that once again Karl Swenson is guest starring. He really did a bunch of these shows. I feel like he’s in every third episode. I’m sure that’s an exaggeration, …
The X-Files Shapes Episode
I must admit that when I watched this particular episode of the popular 90s television show “The X-Files” I didn’t really understand what was going on at first and I didn’t find it to be as interesting as some of the other X-Files episodes that I’ve watched. However, that …
Monk - Mr. Monk is Underwater
Hi, this series has been around for quite awhile now and it is just since lately with the push from my significant other that I have really started taking interest in watching Monk. This episode is about an alleged suicide that takes place on a submarine, one of the …
Tyra Banks show
This isn’t my favorite talk show. Ellen is my favorite talk show. Although I do like to watch Tyra from time to time. I really like some of the shows she does. I think she picks unique topics to do and has an enjoyable talk show to watch. I …
Diagnosis Murder: Murder with Mirrors TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: Murder with Mirrors is one of my favorite episodes of this series, and the reason is due to the special guest star, Emma Samms. I adore Emma. She’s a wonderful person and a nifty actress, so when she shows up on a show, I usually …
Family Guy TV Show
I’ve watched a fair amount of this cartoon show. I remember the early days of the show, and I remember how funny I thought it was. It’s still funny in my opinion, but I’m not as intrigued with it as I used to be.
I think a big part …
Gargoyles: Awakening
I believe that you can’t judge a show a show by the first season. Most shows usually need the first season to get the characters established and for the writers to find their footing. Great shows like Seinfeld and The Simpsons even needed two or three seasons …
Veronica Mars Season 1 Episode 2
The second episode of the first season of Veronica Mars is a crucial one is setting up the relationship between Veronica Mars and Weevil, the leader of the PCH motorcycle gang. This relationship establishes one of the the essential themes of the show: class. Weevil and Veronica areoutsiders because …
The TThe Twilight Zone: The Grave TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Grave is just plain weird to me. It centers around a dead man’s grave and whether or not a lawman has the guts to visit his grave. I don’t know; it’s just weird. I don’t see much substance in this story. …
The Good Wife: Running TV Show
As respects the season ending episode of The Good Wife called Running, I’m going to start before I watch the show and guess that the promo they’ve been showing all over television ad nauseam of a crucial decision making moment for Alicia actually takes place in the last seconds …
Stargate Atlantis: First Contact
Stargate Atlantis: First Contact is the reason I’m reviewing this fifth and final season of this science fiction series. The series itself is not a favorite at all, but I adore guest star Michael Shanks so was able to get the fifth season set of the series. …
American Idol
I was wondering, as many others do, about how can Simon, Randy and Paula audition all of those huge crowds gathering up in every city the popular show is auditioning. It is just not possible for that to actually happen. Simple math says 10000 people auditioning in one city …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Frank Sinatra TV Show
From 1978, The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast honors Frank Sinatra. Once again, it was filmed in Las Vegas. In this lengthy roast, I would have liked to have a few others I associate with Sinatra present, but as often happened, there was a slew of NBC-dictated comics …
MacGyver: Phoenix Under Siege
The Phoenix Under Siege episode of MacGyver is another good episode. It’s the return of Harry Jackson, MacGyver’s grandfather, as played by the talented John Anderson. It’s a special anniversary for the two, though not a pleasant one. It seems the two are planning to attend …
Lost TV Show
Lost is a television series on every Wednesday evening at 10 pm central on CTV. It gets better and better each time I see it. The mystery involved in this story is so intriguing, it reveals a different scenario for each character every episode. Basically, the passengers of an …
Chef Academy TV show
Chef Academy may look like all the other reality shows on TV. But it certainly is not. First of all this show doesn’t have the typical elimination set up. There are challenges. But the whole point is that the participants on the show graduate. …
Ice Road Truckers: A Rookie’s Nightmare TV Show
In an odd sort of way, Ice Road Truckers: A Rookie’s Nightmare felt a bit like the karma show, the one in which some of the drivers got at least a small taste of what has been due them for a while.
For example, Hugh, nicknamed the polar bear, is …
Cowboy Bebop Episode 16 (Anime)
Cowboy Bebop Episode 16 has an assassin named Udai with ties to Jet escaping from prison.
This episode was very good because it gives us Jet’s origin story and it’s very well done and very well written. I enjoyed watching this episode because it was so interesting and entertaining …
Ghost Hunters: Inhuman Entity
Well, I waited for the new Ghost Hunters episode last night and was finally rewarded. Unfortunately, I think I liked the re-runs leading up to it a bit better.
The first case was involving a family that was being terrorized by a spirit and I will admit there was some evidence …
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: Ralph Nader TV Show
Ralph Nader was all over television back in his heyday, promoting consumer awareness and advocacy. It makes him a decent selection as the honoree as the Man of the Week on The Dean Martin Comedy Hour because he’s easy to make fun of and with.
Unfortunately, I really didn’t …
The Fall Guy: Soldiers of Misfortune TV Show
Hey, Colt Seavers (Lee Majors) finally got lucky in The Fall Guy: Soldiers of Misfortune. It made me laugh, but they included a bath tub scene at the beginning (Seavers loves bubble baths) of the show with a bikini-clad beauty ready to help enjoy the bath with him. …
Parental Guidance
Parental Guidance is a local sitcom on country’s TV station and it stars the ever funny Adrian Pang and Jessica Hsuan. They play this married couple in the sitcom’s current second season. I have been watching them acting since Parental Guidance season one and it has been funny …
Dancing with the Stars - Australia - Week 1 TV Show
For the most part, I love America’s Dancing with the Stars, so it was with curiosity that I watched Australia’s version of it recently. This was the 10th season premier of the Oz version. Here are a few observations.
–It’s basically the same type of set, with the …
Imbestigador
I love documentaries and I love real life stories. To be honest, I enjoy these shows more than life challenges like the fear factor that make you do certain things for the money. I hate those that present yucky things it just make my stomach churn. Browsing through the …
The Whole Truth: Pilot TV Show
The pilot for the new TV series, The Whole Truth, was just okay in my opinion. The show features Rob Morrow as a fast paced defense attorney, along with Maura Tierney as the lead prosecutor. This gives the viewer both sides of the story, so to speak.
At …
Highway Patrol: Split Robbery TV Show
Split Robbery was the 13th show to air during Highway Patrol’s fourth and final year on television. The basic plot was that a couple of thieves robbed stores, taking wives of the store managers as hostages to assure they made a smooth getaway. It’s a little odd …
Dancing with the Stars - 3/29/2010 TV Show
At the beginning of the show, host Tom Bergeron mentioned that had their been an elimination last week, it would have been an upset, which means that Buzz Aldrin would have been saved. He was the lowest last week, and he is this week, too. He’s 80: …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Skin of Evil
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Skin of Evil is an enjoyable episode that features a rarity on a Star Trek show: the death of a main character. Now, granted, the only reason this main character died is because the person wanted to leave the show, but the writers …
Trigun Episode 20
Trigun Episode 20 begins with a hurricane called Jacqueline hitting New Oregon, Milly and Meryl are stuck after unsuccessfully trying to follow Vash while he decides to go visit some old friends who live up in the sky in one of the Project Seeds ships that failed to crash …
Alex Haley Queen Mini Series
Alex Haley’s Queen was my first exposure to any of Alex Haley’s work. The mini-series appeared on television in the early 90s, and even though Halle Berry had been a working actress prior to landing the leading role in the mini-series, I think it was her first breakout role …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Neutral Zone
Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Neutral Zone is the final episode of season one and is an episode that I have mixed feelings about. On one hand, I find the storyline of the Enterprise coming across a space capsule containing cryogenically-frozen humans from the twentieth-century intriguing and …
M*A*S*H: Bulletin Board
M*A*S*H: Bulletin Board lets Trapper John McIntyre (Wayne Rogers) do the letter home routine. He’s writing to his daughter, Becky, about missing her birthday and regretting it. He then sets out to tell her about the 4077th. I have to think that what we saw …
Cover Her Face - Part 3
Cover Her Face, Part 3, moves this P.D. James murder mystery along significantly. One of the things I like about this particular outing, though, is that the storyline is much easier to follow than those in later outings. I felt that way about The Black Tower, too. …
The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 11: Excelsis Dei
Whereas last episode was overly convoluted, this one provides a plot complex enough to keep you invested, but not so much so that it becomes confusing. There are a lot of aspects at play here, but they all actually tie together whereas in the last episode it was …
Remington Steele: Etched in Steele TV Show
It’s the holiday season in Remington Steele: Etched in Steele, and the Remington Steele Agency is going through a slowdown. That is, until Laura Holt gets in an uproar over her fictional detective whose identity has been assumed by a mysterious man. It seems that Steele has …
The Carol Burnett Show: Ken Berry and Roddy McDowall TV Show
This episode of The Carol Burnett Show featured Ken Berry and Roddy McDowall. It’s from the 11th season and apparently was one right after the beginning of the year. The monologue was pretty funny. Some guy asked her if she needed a lawyer and gave Burnett …
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig Episode 11
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig Episode 11 has the Major being hacked and wandering into a shop that stories customer’s memories. We learn more about the Major’s past.
This is my favorite episode of this anime out of all the episodes I’ve seen so …
Prison Break Season 2 Episode 13
Prison Break Season 2 Episode 13
In this episode things are continuing to get complicated. But there are some funny moments as well.
Michael and Lincoln are captured by the police and are to be transported back to prison. This could have potentially ended the story for everyone. But since the …
Avatar: The Last Airbender Episode 11 (Animated)
Avatar: The Last Airbender Episode 11 begins with Aang, Katara and Sokka headed toward the North Pole when they come to a large canyon. They discover that two tribes are at odds with one another and refuse to help each other. Aang tries to help them settle …
The X-Files: Season 1, Episode 15: Lazarus
After the previous episode left a bad taste in my mouth with it’s goofy, out of nowhere, plot twist; this episode washes said taste out with a rather magnificent episode that left me enthralled throughout the entire runtime of the episode.
After receiving an anonymous tip about an impending bank …
The Twilight Zone: Steel TV Show
What to say about The Twilight Zone: Steel. This episode aired on October 4, 1963 is one of the half-hour shows from the final season of this superb science fiction series. The problem for me is that the show in its last two years had a lot …
