The Beast: Capone
The Capone episode of The Beast stands out because it featured Lou Diamond Phillips as an agent who is deep under cover. The problem is that the man has been in his role for four very long years, during which his wife divorced him. In essence, as …
Beast Wars - Nemesis Part One
Beast Wars - Nemesis Part One is the first part of the series finale. For the most part, this episode is entertaining and delivers on its build-up with one of the series’ most chilling cliffhangers: the raising of the Decepticon battleship from deep within the ocean. At the helm: …
Naruto: Anime
Naruto is an anime show based on a character named Naruto. I used to like this show because it had good fights but I don’t really watch it anymore.
First of all, the name is really unoriginal. They named the show by a character. I don’t understand Japanese so perhaps …

M*A*S*H: Der Tag
Most of M*A*S*H: Der Tag is focused on Frank Burns (Larry Linville) flipping out because his lover, Margaret Houlihan (Loretta Swit) is in Tokyo. Even worse, she’s talking about some male physical therapist’s with some lust in her voice. It’s enough to send Frank over the edge, …
Ghost Hunters Season 3, Part 2 DVD
Ghost Hunters is one of my favorite shows on television, and I gladly grab the different sets when they are released. That said, there are a few major problems with this set.
1-The transfer onto DVD isn’t the best. It actually looks worse here than it does on television, …
The Vampire Diaries Season 2 Episode 7: “Masquerade”
There is a lot that has changed within the lives of the Mystic Falls folk in season 2 of the Vampire Diaries. In episode number seven “Masquerade” the town of Mystic Falls gather’s together to celebrate at the Lockwood’s estate, where Katherine makes an appearance, posing as Elena. Since …
Two And A Half Men: The OCU Or The PADO
“The OCU Or The PADO” is the episode of Two And A Half Men originally airing on CBS on March 9, 2009. This was another mediocre episode that marks the downhill slide of this once consistently funny program.
Pros: There were a few funny lines. Alan’s question to …
Stargate SG-1: Orpheus
The next episode of Stargate SG-1 in season seven is Orpheus. Now, I have an issue with the final scene, and that issue keeps me from watching this episode as often as I would otherwise. The other thing is that this show refers to Daniel’s ascension, and …
Night Gallery: Spectre in Tap-Shoes TV Show
From October 1972, the third season of Night Gallery, Sandra Dee starred in an episode entitled Spectre in Tap-Shoes. Dee actually plays a duel role, playing a pair of sisters, one of whom hung herself. That was Marion, the tap dancing sister.
When the other sister, Millicent, returns …

The Andy Griffith Show: The Guitar Player TV Show
I mentioned early on that most of my reviews for the early episodes of The Andy Griffith Show would tend to be glowing. I adore this series and it was so very well produced. That said, there are some shows that I’ve never warmed up to, and …
Highway Patrol: Frightened Witness TV Show
From 1958, the opening episode of Highway Patrol’s final season on the air, its fourth, was called Frightened Witness. The title is a little off as it should have been Frightened Witnesses. That is because there were two scared folks, a couple named Carl and Jennifer Stone. …
Super Mario World - Gopher Bash
Super Mario World - “Gopher Bash” is episode nine of the series and finally is an episode that focuses on Luigi. Instead of Mario trying to make life easier for the cave people, Luigi is now taking a stab at it by trying to teach them how to grow …
That Girl: I Am Curious Lemon
In That Girl: I Am Curious Lemon, Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) takes care of her cousin’s daughter for a week. The young girl’s name is Caroline, and she’s played by Cindy Eilbacher. I first remember seeing Eilbacher with her sister, Lisa, in an episode of Alias Smith …
Due South: Mask
One of the things I really like about Due South: Mask is the Indian culture and lore that comprises a big part of the story. I’m always taken with the legends and such that are part of the very rich Indian heritage. This show is full of …
The Andy Griffith Show: Andy’s English Valet TV Show
Bernard Fox makes his first appearance as Malcolm Merriweather in this March 1963 episode of The Andy Griffith Show called Andy’s English Valet. It’s a charming entry that eventually has Malcolm working as a valet for Andy and Opie (Ron Howard).
Here are a few notes of things that …
Stargate: Infinity: Mentor TV Show
What are the odds? Mr. Spock would say they were astronomical, I’m sure, but this isn’t Star Trek, so I suppose the odds don’t matter. In Stargate: Infinity: Mentor, Major Gus Bonner and his team go to a world where they run into Bonner’s mentor, Harley Sheppard, …
The Virginian: Run Away Home
The Virginian: Run Away Home is the second show I’ve noticed that was redone several years later as an episode of Alias Smith and Jones (ASAJ), which was a favorite show of mine, called The Girl in Boxcar #3. I recall an article done during that time that …
The Twilight Zone: An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge TV Show
After years upon years of watching The Twilight Zone, there are maybe two or three that don’t immediately pop out at me where I don’t instantly know the story when it comes on TV. An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge from season five is one of those. …
Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 21
Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 21 begins with Al and Barry the Chopper fighting, Al is distraught at the thought of his memories being false and the idea that he might not be a real person; Scar arrives and interrupts their fight. Meanwhile Ed watches as one of the Slicer …
The Simpsons: I (annoyed grunt) bot.
Last night wasn’t the first time I’ve seen the Simpsons episode “I (annoyed grunt) bot.” But, it was the first time in a while and I realized I didn’t remember anything about it.
This episode was actually very funny because it had two great storylines.
First, you have Lisa’s cat, Snow …
Eastenders
I have been a fan of eastenders for many many years. I love all the drama, Love and tears, it is a classic British soap. What on earth happened!!!! I think the show has gone way down lately, and the writers are just taking storylines from other soaps, for …
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. …
Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
I am really pleased that our three and a half year old son loves to watch Mickey Mouse Club house which is currently being shown on play Disney, ITV 1 and CITV. The programme has Mickey Mouse and all his friends such as Pluto, Donald duck, Daisy Duck, Minnie …
Family Guy: Chitty Chitty Death Bang
I hadn’t seen the Family Guy episode Chitty Chitty Death Bang until last night and have to say I missed out on a great one.
Everyone loves the baby Stewie and this episode focuses on his first birthday; or as he puts it, the first anniversary of his escape from …
Dancing With the Stars: S11, Wk 4 Performance TV Show
Dancing With the Stars, Week 4 of the 11th season, was another entertaining show. I’m not really that crazy about all of the celebrities performing on the show this season, but they have been better than anticipated. This show was different, too, because it was performed in …
Shararath
Shararath is another interesting programme or serial which is being telecasted in the TV channel called Star plus. Star plus is a very interesting channel in which they telecast many kind of serial and programmes, which are very interesting. And the story of shararath is also very …
Secret Life of The American Teenager
The Secret life of the American Teenager focuses on a fifteen year old Amy who has a one night stand with a drummer at band camp and winds up pregnant.
Good concept, it’s new to bring a teen pregnancy into the spotlight and approach it with a little humour as …
Laramie: Dragon at the Door TV Show
The most important element about Dragon at the Door, which was the third season premier of the western series, Laramie, is that it returned the show to its original premise just a tad. When Laramie debuted in 1959, it was a regular cast of four — John Smith, …
Masters of Horror Series
Masters of Horror was a television series that aired on Showtime for two seasons. Since Showtime is a pay channel (and fairly expensive in my area), I didn’t see the episodes when they first aired. Instead I purchased the episodes as they were released on DVD, which happened at …
Highway Patrol: Slain Cabby TV Show
The 16th episode from January 1958 of Highway Patrol was called Slain Cabby and was pretty good overall.
In this third season outing, I think this was the first time I really saw a CHP meeting, a prolonged scene where they discuss their plans for capturing the robbers. It …
Criminal Minds TV series
The Criminal Minds TV series fits well with all of the other crime investigation drama out there because it is different but still comfortable. The crimes are more graphic - if I wasn’t already desensitized by other shows I would say too graphic, and they probably are too graphic. …
Without A Trace TV Show
I have been watching reruns of this TV show (it comes on in the mornings here right before lunch, as well as around midnight), and I have found that I’m really enjoying this show. Sometimes it’s a bit sad, when they don’t find the person or when the person …
Fireball XL5: Whistle for Danger
Fireball XL5: Whistle for Danger has one of my favorite ongoing themes. That adorable and mischievous Lazoon, Zoonie, stays at Space City and wreaks havoc once again. He just loves to blow things up, unintentionally of course. Commander Zero finally puts him under house arrest, paw-cuffing …
MuchOnDemand
On MuchMusic, MuchOnDemand or MOD is one of my favourite t.v. show. The show includes The Daily Ten (where viewer vote, online, on four of there favourite music videos off a list and the top ten are shown throughout the show), many prizes ( viewers can enter online, call …
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: Leo Durocher TV Show
Baseball manager for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Leo Durocher was the Man of the Week on this episode of The Dean Martin Comedy Hour, which has been repackaged as The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast for distribution. Actually, Durocher was retired at the time of this get together.
It was …
Prison Break Season 1 Episode 1- Pilot
This is the beginning of the series, and the whole story is being introduced in a very clever way. It really made the story look appealing. But there was this feeling that it was going to be some clever spy-like story where the hero outsmarts everyone and manages to …
The Simpson’s: The Way We Weren’t
I finally got a chance to watch the entire Simpson’s episode “The Way We Weren’t.” I have seen bits and pieces of it in the past but none of it made a whole lot of sense until last night.
Overall, it wasn’t too bad of an episode.
Basically, Homer and Marge …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Fandango TV Show
I just love the title of this fourth season episode of Have Gun - Will Travel. It’s called Fandango, which in this case means tomfoolery. It intrigued me from the start.
Leonid Kinskey has a bit part as Yevgeny. He was playing chess with Paladin in San …
Harold and the Purple Crayon: Blame it on the Rain
This episode begins at Harold’s bedtime and it’s raining outside. He tries to fall asleep but the sounds of the rain make him curious as to where the rain comes from. So he takes his purple crayon and heads out for an adventure on learning where the rain comes …
Legend: Legend on His President’s Secret Service
The opening of this third episode is a hoot. Pratt is on a book tour in the south, a bad mistake since his dime novels are all about Yankees. Just as some unhappy southerners are about to do harm to him and in fact have him hanging …
Highway Patrol: Insulin TV Show
Sometimes Highway Patrol episodes really entertain, and sometimes they bore. In the case of Season 3’s Insulin, which was the 17th episode to air that year, I was entertained; for the most part, anyway.
The police drama revolves around two men who show up at another man’s home. …
Two And A Half Men - My Son’s Enormous Head
“My Son’s Enormous Head” is the episode of Two And A Half Men originally airing on CBS on March 16, 2009. This was a sub par episode with few real big laughs.
Pros: The episode attempts to force Charlie into seeming more like a real person with feelings …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Graduation Day
I have to say, as far as Buffy the Vampire Slayer goes, the third season has got to be one of the most violent seasons I have seen of any series. The finale; a two part episode entitled “Graduation Day” is a great example.
Let’s see, in the first half …
Fireball XL5: The Day the Earth Froze
I do have a few comments and reactions about Fireball XL5: The Day the Earth Froze, which is one of 39 total black and white programs coming from the mind of puppet pioneer Gerry Anderson. One of which is that this show really has a thing for ice …
Discovery Channel
Discovery Channel is one of my favorite TV channels of all time. I consider every moment of watching this channel as the greatest way to learn not only for me but for the rest of my family.
I have been finding all …
