Street Hawk: A Second Self
By accident, I ended up watching Street Hawk somewhat in reverse. Thus, I have actually just watched all of the other episodes and now definitely declare that A Second Self is absolutely the best of the 13. It had top notch acting, a great story (though I’ll …
Jeremiah: The Bag
Jeremiah: The Bag provides us with a bit more background on Jeremiah’s past. He, like all of the young people not yet having reached puberty, survived the Big Death which had killed everyone else. For 15 years, these children raised themselves in a world without luxury and …
Spongebob Squarepants Season One - No Pickles
Even as an adult I love to watch Spongebob Squarepants. I think that little sponge is so adorable and he is so funny. In this episode, there is a bully in which he comes into the Krusty Krab and accuses Spongebob of making a Krabby Patty incorrectly. …
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Seven Keys to Singapore: Part 2
Bring ‘Em Back Alive continues its opening with Seven Keys to Singapore: Part 2. We’ve met all the main characters now — Bruce Boxleitner as Frank Buck, animal hunter and now part time secret agent of sorts, Cindy Morgan as Gloria Marlowe, the Miss Kitty to Boxleitner’s Sheriff …
Swingtown
I’d intentionally waited for a few weeks after this series debuted before reviewing it because I wanted to get a better sense of what the show is about. The first episode was pure sex, or pretty much so anyway, with the climax (pardon the pun!) being the swapping between …
That Girl: I Ain’t Got Nobody
The plot surrounding That Girl: I Ain’t Got Nobody is that Ann’s picture is inexplicably in a major girlie magazine, creating chaos for everyone who knows her and interfering with her attempt to be cast on a children’s show with a character called Captain Gooney (Kenneth Mars).
A positive thing …
True Blood Television show
After hearing numerous rave reviews, I finally decided to give in and give HBO’s True Blood a fair shot. Not only were many of my friends rabid fans, but this is a critically acclaimed show that has won awards after all, that has to mean something right? Wrong! I …
The Andy Griffith Show: Barney and Thelma Lou, Phfftt TV Show
It’s a show about romance and misunderstandings, along with Barney’s normal over confidence. That’s what The Andy Griffith Show: Barney and Thelma Lou, Phfftt from May 1964 deals with. I actually love the opening scene where Barney and Thelma Lou are window shopping, essentially talking about their …
Trigun Episode 21
Trigun Episode 21 begins in a Project Seeds ship that didn’t quite crash over 100 years ago, the Gung-Ho Guns have invaded, intent on destroying the ship’s residents, who are acquaintances of Vash. Vash and Wolfwood try to stop them and have to face three of the Gung-Ho …
Fireball XL5: Space Magnet
Fireball XL5: Space Magnet is a favorite because we get to see Zoonie, and anytime we see Zoonie, I’m happy. Zoonie is an alien pet, I guess you could say. The future’s version of a dog in a sense. He lives with Doctor Venus, and he’s …
That Girl: Fix My Screen and Bug Out
That Girl: Fix My Screen and Bug Out guest stars Michael Callan, who plays Bobby Miller, the old boyfriend of Ann Marie’s. Callan is a charming man, and he plays a lot of these kind of characters. He’s not a bad guy here by any means. …

This episode returns to our heroes, who are still traveling. After a long day, the group sets down to set up camp for the night. Katara tries to get Toph to chip in, but she chooses not to, saying that she took care of herself and is, …

Columbo: Suitable for Framing TV Show
Ross Martin guest stars as Dale Kingston, who kills his uncle for art in Columbo: Suitable for Framing. Kingston has one of those very serious art shows on television. I’d never watch it. Kingston, though, is enamored with art, and he kills more than his …
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Promised Land TV show
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Promised Land is the first episode of this series that aired in 1983. It’s funny what stands out to a person, but one of the things I am amused by as I rewatch this program is how star Richard Dean Anderson (he plays …
Stargate SG-1: The Shroud
Stargate SG-1: The Shroud is a wonderful episode, thanks to the return of Richard Dean Anderson as General Jack O’Neill. It’s not just Jack’s presence, but his friendship with Daniel that makes the show a great one.
Daniel is discovered on a planet as a Prior. He’s beamed …
Cowboy Bebop episode 10
On Cowboy Bebop, sometimes the people you love harbor deep secrets and even deeper feelings. As Spike Spiegel, Jet Black, Edward, Faye Valentine, and Eine land on Ganymede, Jet has some unfinished business to handle. Episode Ten “Ganymede Elegy” is a episode focused mainly on Jet Black and his …

The X-Files Fearful Symmetry Episode
This one was a very strange episode of the popular 1990s American television series “The X-Files”. Of course, most of the episodes where strange, but I think the plot of this one made it even stranger than many. This is why I think of it as one of …
Family Guy: Long John Peter
Well, I have to admit, last night’s episode of Family Guy, “Long John Peter” was pretty dang funny.
The episode starts out with Peter wanting to be a pirate after getting a pet parrot and ultimately getting the parrot killed. While at the Vet, Chris falls for the assistant and, …
Stargate SG-1: Tin Man
I really enjoy this season one entry. Stargate SG-1: Tin Man is a bit of fun for me. Our team is cloned, well, actually, they become synthetic copies of themselves, and the process of them finding that out and dealing with their emotions is just awesome.
Richard Dean …
The Secret Life of… TV show
The Secret Life of… is a show that comes on the Food Network on Monday nights at 10 pm/9 central. I love this show! What it is is the host, Jim, picks a topic and then we get to learn all about it! We learn about it’s history, how …
House: Sports Medicine
On the surface, the House episode “Sports Medicine” really isn’t anything different than any other House episode I’ve seen. He is called in to find the cause of some bizarre condition; this time it’s unexplained bone loss in a major league pitcher and has to go through a bunch …
The Cleveland Show on Fox
When it was released that Cleveland Brown from Family Guy was getting his own spin-off, I actually had high hopes for the show. The lazy delivery of Cleveland Brown seemed to warrant it’s own show in the snippets that you got to see on Family Guy. However, after the …
Charmed Episode 1: Something Wicca This way comes
I am really a big Charmed fan. It is among the TV shows which runs for quite a number of years. And it is the only TV show which I’ve always watched and never missed any episode, not a single one. In the first few seasons, Shannon Doherty played …
Top Chef: Just Desserts: Lucent Dossier TV Show
Top Chef: Just Desserts: Lucent Dossier was probably the most unique of all the Top Chef shows from all seasons, and that wasn’t necessarily a good thing. In fact, it brought up a lot of questions. These pastry chefs have more emotional issues than the regular top …
My Life As Liz
“My Life As Liz” is a new reality show that just premiered on MTV a couple of weeks ago. Of all the reality shows I’ve seen, this one, by far, is in a whole other stratosphere. ” My Life As Liz” is a show that a lot of past …
The Cleaner: Meet the Joneses
The Cleaner: Meet the Joneses was a very good episode. While Benjamin Bratt owns this show and is hard to ignore, guest star Annabeth Gish stole this episode. She was so strong and effective in her role as the perfect wife and mother, who not so perfectly …
Wagon Train: Little Girl Lost
Wagon Train: Little Girl Lost is a story from the final season of Wagon Train. It’s a little unusual for a western to have this type of story. I think it was perhaps their strange attempt at a Christmas tale since the story aired in Mid-December of …
The Andy Griffith Show: Man in a Hurry TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Man in a Hurry is absolutely one of the must see episodes of this classic comedy series. It’s arguably the best, or at the very least, in the top 10 of all time best outings for this series.
Man in a Hurry is all about …
North and South- BBC tv series
I first saw this series when it was shown on the BBC about 5 years ago now. If you like classic period dramas then this is for you. Without giving too much about the storyline away it’s a gritty drama set in a mill town called Milton, …
Fireball XL5: Space Monster
Fireball XL5: Space Monster started out as a hoot. The beautiful blonde space doctor, Venus, was dancing to an ancient dance called the Twist. What’s more, that cute little Lazoon named Zoonie was dancing the Twist, too. It was just hysterical in all good ways. …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: On the Orient, North TV Show
Consider The Ray Bradbury Theater: On the Orient, North, Bradbury’s version of Murder on the Orient Express, which is even referenced at the very beginning of the episode. It features Magali Noel as Minerva Halliday who offers to help someone described only as ‘the ghastly passenger’. Frankly, …
So You Think You Can Dance
So You Think You Can Dance, a “reality tv show” created by the minds behind American Idol and shown on Fox, is by far the most entertaining show in the new millennium. Aside from the not-so-quality entertainment acts sometimes brought in for elimination night, this show is family friendly …
MacGyver: Blow Out
MacGyver: Blow Out has some really nice segments and some which bore me, too. The opening is great. MacGyver is fighting a cold so he makes a run to the grocery store and promptly encounters a robbery. This segment is great with him, along with a …
Laramie: The Track of the Jackal TV Show
Laramie: The Track of the Jackal from season 2 is one of my favorites because it is one that gives Jess Harper (Robert Fuller) some emotional angst. It opens by sending Slim Sherman (John Smith) on a trip while explaining that Jess is going to be the temporary …

Naruto Shippuden Episode 2 begins with Naruto finding out who his opponent will be, his old mentor, Kaakashi Sensei, and he and Sakura go to the old training ground. Meanwhile, Gaara learns about the Akatsuki and the Sand Village fortifies their city.

The Prisoner: A. B. and C.
The Prisoner: A. B. and C. is more intriguing to me than the few other episodes I’ve seen thus far. It might be because it’s not so much the crazy FX or even The Village, but has as its setting a party scene, probably in London. The …
Masquerade: Five Days
Masquerade: Five Days gave Kirstie Alley her best chance to do some real acting in her character of Casey. She’s an intelligence agent working with Rod Taylor’s Lavender and Greg Evigan’s Danny. Up until this episode, her most challenging bits have been guiding bus tours and looking …
Ghost Hunters Academy: Drama Queen
Yeah, I just don’t feel Ghost Hunters Academy. The show is interesting at times but the whole contest thing just doesn’t seem to have any sort of guidelines for the show to work with.
Last week, they got rid of Heathyr. This week, they didn’t even make an effort to …
Ouran High School Host Club
Ouran High School Host Club is probably one of the most favorite anime series I have ever watched and it’s one of the few shows I actually got to finish watching. It’s a funny anime, mixed with outrageous characters and cute romantic scenes that’s it’s bound to make you laugh, …
Cosby Show
If you are looking for a great way to pass a few hours, either go to your local library or find some reruns of the cosby show. This is one of the best television shows to ever be aired on television, it had humor, romance, kids, rich people and …
Tom&Jerry Episode: Push-Button Kitty
I like to watch Tom and Jerry and this one of my favourite episodes. This episode is entitled push-button kitty and it starts off with Tom relaxing right next to Jerry’s mouse hole while he sneaks out and comes back with a piece of cheese while the owner alerts …
The Simpsons TV Show
This show I would say is an okay show. It’s not the best but it’s not the worst show in the world either. It kind of reminds me of Family Guy, but Family Guy is better. But it sort of does the same thing. It makes fun of normal …
Sea Hunt: The Living Fossil TV Show
Sea Hunt’s 15th episode of its third season on the air was called The Living Fossil. Airing back in April 1960, this episode was a little unique in that it focused on deep sea diver Mike Nelson (aptly portrayed by Lloyd Nelson) working with others on a special …
Fame: Street Kid
While not a personal favorite, Fame: Street Kid is one of the best episodes from season one. It has great acting, an engaging and thought-provoking storyline, and a really good song performance in it.
Valerie Landsburg gets the lead in this episode. It goes back to a previous show …
Birds of Prey episode 4: Three Birds and a Baby
At first, this episode seems like it’s going to be a piece of light-hearted filler as the plot involves the trio of super-heroines suddenly find themselves taking care of a child who was saved by Helena during her patrol.
Criminals may be no match for these women, but they find …
M*A*S*H: Snappier Judgment
From season 10, M*A*S*H: Snappier Judgment is the conclusion of a two-part episode that began with property and equipment from the 4077th disappearing, including a new Polaroid camera given to Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) and B.J. Hunnicutt (Mike Farrell). Accused of the crime is Corporal Max Klinger (Jamie …
