Legend of the Seeker
I had heard of the show Legend of the Seeker but honestly never took the time to watch it on TV. However, I did see it was available through our Netflix Instant watch and I decided to give it a try this weekend.
It wasn’t too bad.
The show is about …
Spongebob Squarepants Season One - Help Wanted
This is the very first pilot episode of Spongebob when it first came out. I think that this was a great first episode. Spongebob goes out to a local restaurant, The Krusty Krab, trying to get hired. He is asked to find a rare spatula, and …
Big Brother: Power of Veto 8/18/19 TV Show
The August 18, 2010 episode of Big Brother was the Power of Veto episode, and it was the most fired up episode of the season. In fact, I think there were more fireworks than just about any other episode.
What brought about the increased volume was that Brendon opened …
Columbo: Negative Reaction TV Show
I adore Dick Van Dyke and believe he’s one of the most underrated performers of all time. He’s diverse — a singer, dancer, comedian, and actor, among other things. He can play charming, sweet, and vicious. He’s well rounded and agile, and he’s an intelligent fellow. …
VH1’s I Want to Work for Diddy
VH1 has a new reality show called ‘I Want to Work for Diddy’. Here we go again, everybody wants to have a reality show, and this one isn’t even Diddy’s first reality program, I guess her can’t get enough of showing off to the world who he is and …
Brain Games (tv show)
One of the most interesting new television shows that I’ve discovered recently is one called Brain Games that comes from time to time on the cable television channel National Geographic. I think that the reason why I like it so much and the reason it stands out is because …
The X-Files: Jose Chung’s From Outer Space
A highly regarded writer on the hunt for inspiration, a pair of teenage sweethearts wrapped up in an alleged alien abduction, a UFO obsessed local weirdo and a man in black with a striking resemblance to Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek. All of this might make for a rather complicated …
Probe: Untouched by Human Hands
I rather enjoyed Probe: Untouched by Human Hands from beginning to end. This quirky series about scientific genius Austin James (Parker Stevenson) ending up solving crimes is a little off center and thus unique enough to keep my attention. This second episode of the series starts with secretary …
Friends Episode: Phoebe and her Bike
Friends Episode: Phoebe and her Bike is awesome because of the fact that Phoebe is such a ’sore loser’ when Ross tries to teach her how to ride a bicycle. She falls down the bicycle and that scene was truly funny! Ross feels so bad that she falls …
The Andy Griffith Show: Barney on the Rebound TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Barney on the Rebound, a second season episode of this hit comedy series starring Griffith as Sheriff Andy Taylor, focuses on Deputy Barney Fife (Don Knotts) and his attraction to Melissa Stevens, a new gal in town played by Beverly Tyler.
Barney’s steady, Thelma Lou (Betty …
That Girl: The Mailman Cometh
There’s a slight problem with That Girl: The Mailman Cometh from season two. I suspect it was filmed earlier than it aired, and the reason I believe that is because in an earlier episode from this second season, Ann Marie either received a phone call or made one …
Titanic: The Mission Part 3 TV Show
Titanic: The Mission Part 3 was the middle show for this British documentary series of 5 programs that took a unique look at the Titanic and offered a very different approach at educating values and, even more importantly, honoring that great ship that became such a part of world …
Lost: Because You Left: The Lie
I am always happy when a series I’ve been watching comes back on the air, but there are certain shows which carry more of that certain type of joy. “Lost” is one of them. The season premier of Lost; “Because You Left: The Lie” is two hours long and …
Due South: Burning Down the House
Due South was canceled after two seasons, but it returned a year later for another season. With the renewed season came some changes, including that Constable Benton Fraser’s apartment building burns down which means he has to relocate.
The biggest change concerns Detective Ray Vecchio (David Marciano), who calls …
The Good Wife: Taking Control TV Show
The Good Wife: Taking Control picks up at the press conference that we saw at the end of the last episode from the first season. Peter Florrick (Chris Noth) is again throwing his hat into the political ring. The question at the start of the hour is will …
South Park
I have always enjoyed the cartoon called South Park. This show is just funny. I really like all the characters. I like the funny music in the show as well as the sound effects. I think the story lines in south park are really dumb. But I also think that …
Star Trek: The Lights of Zetar TV Show
Montgomery Scott (James Doohan) falls in love in Star Trek: The Lights of Zetar. He’s completely smitten with Lt. Mira Romaine (Jan Shutan). We know it’s a doomed romance. They never do well, not even if you get married. After all, Spock got divorced, Kirk’s …

In M*A*S*H: Hepatitis, Father Mulcahy (William Christopher) comes down with a case of hepatitis, meaning that Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) has to test everyone at the 4077th to see if anyone else has the disease. The episode was written by Alan Alda, which usually means that there’s going …
The Twilight Zone: Kick the Can TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Kick the Can is definitely one of my favorite episodes of this series. I consider it to be one of the classics, in the top 15 of all the shows. What I really love about this show is the spirit, the message of …

M*A*S*H: Bless You Hawkeye
Outside of the upcoming Blood Brothers episode which I consider to be tops all the way around, M*A*S*H: Bless You Hawkeye is the best of the ninth season. It’s a show that starts out in an unsuspecting style with Hawkeye Pierce waking up in the middle of the …
True Blood 3.03 “It Hurts Me Too”
The title of the episode in this case proved to be prophetic - after two very strong episodes, the third one didn’t happen to be the charm, quite contrarily, slumped down and simply didn’t provide the high quality, high speed drama of its predecessors.
Jason’s subplot, usually boring but, at …
The Simpson’s TV Episode: Lisa’s Date with Density
I had a chance to watch a bit of TV last night and ended up watching an episode of the Simpsons; Lisa’s Date with Density.
This one has a couple story lines that are actually pretty entertaining. First, Lisa finds herself having a crush on Nelson and, while I wouldn’t …
Watch What Happens: Live
Watch What Happens: Live is new to the Bravo Channel in 2009 and personally, I think it needs to go away and be a memory. I just wasn’t impressed at all by what I saw. The only reason I tuned in was to see who the Top …

Operation Repo Tv Show
I love to watch reality television shows and one of them is Operation Repo. It is a reality show that follows a family that goes out as repo people to repossessed cars from people who have not paid their car payments. This show is very interesting and entertaining and …
Sea Hunt: Bionics TV Show
Sea Hunt: Bionics, from April 1961, is from the fourth season of this adventure program. What I liked is that I finally figured out something. I never saw this show until ThisTV started airing it this year, but sometimes they air Sea Hunt at another time and …
American Idol 5
I have to admit I’ve never been the biggest Idol fan, generally only watching the early auditions to hear the interesting people that come out. This year, though, I’ve been watching it all the way through. Certainly an interesting year.
The show is good. I can’t compare …
CHiPs: Pilot
The pilot for CHiPs aired on September 15, 1977 and introduced the world to the lives of two California Highway Patrol officers, Jon Baker and Frank Poncherello, played by Larry Wilcox and Erik Estrada. On the surface, they were different as night and day, but they were partners …
The Twilight Zone: The Parallel TV Show
From 1963, The Twilight Zone: The Parallel is an intriguing hour of entertainment. It’s a show I enjoy quite a bit. The story dabbles in the concept of parallel universes or alternate dimensions or alternate realities. There are fine lines that separate the differences of these, …

This episode really shows off the characters and the different personalities of all of the Friends characters. It features Ross, who recently broke up with his wife, found out that his wife is pregnant with his child. He is frustrated on how the situation was going because he just …
Flavor Flav TV Show
Flavor Flavs house of love is one of my favorite shows. The show featurs former rapper Flavor Flav who is now in his 40s and looking for love. Twenty women went on this show and are all fighting it out for his affection. Simple enough. Except in my opinion …
M*A*S*H 30th Anniversary Reunion
In 2002, the M*A*S*H 30th Anniversary Reunion aired, reuniting the majority of cast and crew members for the first time since the groundbreaking series had gone off the air. Mike Farrell did the introduction at the very beginning and then it went to a wonderful, casual discussion with …

This episode of Due South opens with a funny bit, picking up where they left off in the last show. I laughed out loud then, and I did just now, too. Due South: Starman has Benton Fraser and Diefenbacker running some tracking drills. Their exchange is …
Doctor Who: Season 3, Episode 4: Daleks in Manhattan
The Doctor and Martha arrive in the TARDIS in New York circa November 1930. Considering the Doctor’s been steadfast about taking Martha home, I’m not sure why they came here. One could argue that the TARDIS just took them there as they seem to have no knowledge …
Wagon Train: The Melanie Craig Story
Wagon Train: The Melanie Craig Story was a hoot and one of the best non-Robert Fuller episodes of Wagon Train. Fuller actually missed several episodes due to an accident, so it’s a long stretch without seeing Cooper Smith. Still, this story had some fun in it.
Melanie …
Dancing with the Stars
Do you need a good laugh?Or just want to look at the pretty people making a fool of themselves.
I have to give it to them,it takes a lot of heart to get on national TV and know you can’t dance,yet you give it your all.I think it is a …
Stargate: Infinity: Stones TV Show
Stargate: Infinity: Stones is a story that centers on Stacey, Major Gus Bonner’s niece. She’s a feisty, independent scientist. Actually, she’s probably a variation of Samantha Carter on Stargate SG-1, only with pink hair.
While on an alien world, she is given some special stones to wear as …
The Young Rebels: Stalemate TV Show
Stalemate is another good episode of the 1970 drama, The Young Rebels, which starred a magnificent young cast which included Rick Ely, Louis Gossett Jr., and Phillippe Forquet. Hilary Thompson is also on board, playing Ely’s girlfriend on the show.
I enjoy this show because it’s a theme that, …

Cougartown Season One Episode Two
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I saw the second episode of Cougartown. The first episode was so bad it was like watching a train wreck. What I was hoping though was that the show would fall into place. The awkwardness would disappear and they …
John Doe: John Deux TV show
In October 2002, John Doe: John Deux aired and presented the unusual aspect of having yet a second amnesia victim pop up near Seattle in just about the same way that John Doe (Dominic Purcell) did. Naturally, that piques John’s interest.
One of the most memorable parts of this …
Emergency!: Hang-Up
Emergency!: Hang-Up is the second to last episode of the first season of this medical drama, and it has a couple of really intriguing elements to it.
Here’s the really odd thing about this episode. In the pilot movie of Emergency!, Officers Pete Malloy and Jim Reed (Martin Milner …

America Celebrates July 4th at Ford’s Theater TV Show
For the 2010 Independence Day holiday, a special called America Celebrates July 4th at Ford’s Theater was presented. I liked this hour long show, but I wish it had featured some holiday music in it. Instead, we had a lot of pop music and some other songs, …
Smallville
Those of us who remember the original Superman TV Show of the 1950’s view Smallville in a different light than those who are not that knowledgeable about what happens to Clark when he grows up. But because it is true to the legend, I do enjoy it. For …
