The Office Seasons 1 & 2
This is a great television show that I was turned on to by my sister who also likes the show. If you haven’t already heard about The Office, it’s a hysterical view of the Dunder Mifflin paper company. The head boss Michael Scott bases his work ethics on fun …
TIVO
If you have never owned a TIVO system that believe me this is one thing that I love more then anything in the world. The Tivo system attaches to your TV and works much like a VCR which stays at the top of your TV. Essentially, the TIVO will …
Supernatural 4.17 It’s a Terrible Life
I’ve maintained for some time that Supernatural is one of the best shows on TV. It’s up there with Venture Bros. for me. This episode was a fine example for that. It was funny, had great character moments as well as being creepy.
It was a …
Max Headroom: Body Banks TV show
The Body Banks episode of Max Headroom, from 1987, is sadly not that hard to envision. Society is just such a crazy place that I certainly wouldn’t doubt it. We’ve seen fiction do crazier things, like Soylent Green did with its shocking revelation. Basically, it’s all …

M*A*S*H: The Foresight Saga is a nice ninth season show that includes Radar O’Reilly, the one time company clerk of the 4077th. While Gary Burghoff doesn’t appear in the show, the camp receives a very upbeat letter from him, written from his hometown in Iowa. Later on, …
Boy Meets World
Boy Meets World was a cool show. I watched it religiously when I was a kid and I loved it. It was about a boy named Cory, his best friend Shawn and his friend who later became his girlfriend Topanga.
I think Boy Meets World is the kind …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Deadly Invasion TV Show
Episode 10 of season 3, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Deadly Invasion guest starred Warren Stevens as Sam Garrity. Apparently, Earth is being invaded by mini spaceships.
Below are some thoughts about this episode:
–Since when would they bring a shell like object just recovered to the control …

Dancing with the Stars - 9-23-09
Dancing with the Stars on September 23, 2009 was the first results show of the year, and it was full of special performances. Of course, there was the mystery of who would be kicked off the show, but in the end, it really wasn’t all that much of …
Dead Like Me
“Dead Like Me” was a Showtime original series which used to air on the cable television channel “Showtime” when I was still in high school. Like all the Showtime original series the plot was quite different from what many television shows going on at the time; hence I think …
Scrubs TV Episode: My Jiggly Ball
My wife and I used to watch the show Scrubs when it first came on the air but got away from it for a while. However, we’ve been watching re-runs lately and I find myself wondering why we stopped watching this series.
One of the episodes I watched the other day …

The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 19: Cry Uncle
Just as the previous episode introduces us to Ray’s aunt, this one introduces us to Egon’s Uncle Cyrus. At first glance, it seems like it would be a rehash, but the two stand in stark contrast to one another. Where Ray’s aunt was deep into the idea …
George Lopez
George Lopez is a very funny show. I started watching this show a few months ago and I must say I do enjoy it. You can watch it on the CW 44 or cable 12. I like George Lopez’s sense of humor. He is very funny yet very sarcastic and …
Bookmice
“Bookmice” is the name of a children’s television show which I would watch when I was a small child. I would watch it on a local television channel early in the afternoon and think that it used to come right after the other children’s television show “Professor Iris”. I …
Louis, Martin & Michael (2003) TV
In this particular documentary from Louis Theroux, we see him attempting to bag an interview with Michael Jackson, which he never does because Michael gave his exclusive interview to Martin Bashir instead. We all know how badly that turned out. Ironically, Michael had wanted someone who would …

Anime: Shakugan no Shana, Season One
I recently bought the complete collection of Shakugan no Shana season one. As a devoted anime fan, it takes quite a bit to really impress me. “Impress” is not strong enough of a word to describe my reaction to Shakugan no Shana. It has instantly displaced Bleach, Naruto, Buso …
My Gym Partner’s a Monkey cartoon
I’m typically open-minded when it comes to the cartoons my daughter watches. Most on television have something objectionable but she’s smart enough not to copy what she sees and I do my part to make sure she understands right from wrong.
The cartoon “My Gym Partner’s A Monkey,” which appears …
Star Trek the Next Generation TV Episode: Elementary, Dear Data
I had seen the Family Guy episode that was on about a dozen times so I ended up flipping channels yesterday afternoon looking for something else to watch. After a minute or so, I came across one of my favorite Star Trek the Next Generation episodes; Elementary, Dear Data.
Basically, …
Doctor Who: Season 3, Episode 14: Last of the Time Lords
The three part finale comes to an end. Things look grim, and they haven’t gotten better in the year that passed since the Master took control, but Martha is still out there, fighting the good fight.
This episode couldn’t seem to find its tone. Again, the Master comes …
Ghost Hunters: Hindenburg Crash Site
I wasn’t really excited about last night’s episode of Ghost Hunters; well, at least not from the paranormal end of things.
I liked the fact they were investigating the famous site of the Hindenburg explosion and there was quite a bit of history about the wreck explained that I didn’t …

Ghost Hunters: Fort Ticonderoga
Well, last week’s episode of Ghost Hunters at The Rock wasn’t bad. But, this week’s episode, at Fort Ticonderoga was actually a bit of a disappointment for me.
Here they have this giant fort that has a bunch of claims coming from it and the best evidence they can catch …
The Andy Griffith Show: A Plaque for Mayberry TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: A Plaque for Mayberry has one of my favorite crazy Barney Fife scenes. It’s right at the beginning of this first season episode, when town drunk Otis Campbell (Hal Smith) is ready to be released from his latest incarceration, only Deputy Fife thinks he …

Return to Green Acres Reunion Special
“Return to Green Acres” is a reunion special that features characters from the 1960s sitcom, “Green Acres”. I love the television show because the humor is so off the wall and the characters are so memorable and distinctive. When I learned
that a reunion special had been made, I eagerly …

I am writing to let as many people as possible know about Dave Ramsey, my financial advisor. He recently started his own show on Fox Business, and you can see him every day at 5:00pm and 9:00pm Pacific Time.
Ramsey is the guy that changed my financial life. He …
Sea Hunt: Underwater Park TV Show
Underwater Park was an episode presented towards the end of Sea Hunt’s second season in 1959.
I really enjoyed the opening segment of Underwater Park because of the underwater footage. We have our show hero, Mike Nelson, ace deep sea diver, taking pictures as he comes in, through, and …

From September 2002, the pilot of John Doe, a new science fiction series, brings us the basic story of an amnesiac person adjusting to life without a past, only with the twist that this man seems to know almost everything, except for his identity.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold: Enter the Outsiders

Psych: He loves me, he loves me not, he loves me, oops, he’s Dead
I ended up finishing my Psych mini-marathon last night by watching the season 1 episode “He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not, He Loves Me; Oops, He’s Dead.” Yes, I know that’s a long title for an episode (something that is somewhat common with this series), but it turned …
The Brightest Angel
This year, I surfed video on demand to try and find some holiday fare to watch. I just wasn’t satisfied with what I was finding on a daily basis. Maybe I just wanted to see something new here and there. One of the shows I stumbled …
Wagon Train: The Fort Pierce Story
I love The Fort Pierce Story of Wagon Train because it guest stars Ann Blyth as Nancy Winter. She’s always been an actress I’ve enjoyed watching. Here, she plays Ronald Reagan’s wife, suffering with personal issues from living in a fort where she doesn’t have anyone to …

Bones: The Crank in the Shaft
Well, I will admit this episode, The Crank in the Shaft, wasn’t quite as gross as other Bones’ episodes. But, I know I wouldn’t want to be the one trying to recover a dead body after it’s been ground up in an elevator shaft. In fact, it might be …

The Apprentice: Rock the Catwalk TV Show
The Apprentice: Rock the Catwalk made me wonder if maybe I were really watching Project Runway. Actually, parts of it had some very entertaining moments. This latest hour of Donald Trump’s very long job interview began with last week’s winning project manager, Clint, having a meeting with …
The Office show
The Office was adapted from the BBC show of the same title and is by far one of the funniest and smartest shows on television. It was adapted for the US by Greg Daniels, the producer of The Simpsons and King of the Hill, and, in my opinion, …
Star Trek: The Counter-Clock Incident TV Show
The second season of the animated Star Trek series was very short and lasted but a few episodes. Star Trek: The Counter-Clock Incident was the last one, airing on October 12,1974. It was actually a very interesting plot where the Enterprise ends up in an alternate dimension …
The Gates TV Show
This is a brand new summer television show that just premiered last Sunday. It’s another show about vampires, however there are a lot of vampire shows out right now. So I am a bit concerned about the success of this show. I’m not too sure how well it’s going …

Yet another lifestyle show. I watch lifestyle/magazine shows whenever I see one. This show titled Fit and Fab is a new lifestyle/magazine show. It was on air for only a month, once in a week. It tackles about woman empowerment and how to be fabulous and fit even with …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Misguided Father TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Misguided Father is a bit of a different episode; certainly, it began in a fashion that wasn’t the norm. It begins with Paladin (Richard Boone) discovering a friend of his dead. As a friend, he decides to take the body back …
The Apprentice UK - Episode 2
In watching this second episode of The Apprentice UK, I realized this was a director’s cut. I don’t know if that’s because it’s ‘on demand’ or if that is how the BBC America channel is airing it, but apparently, these aren’t necessarily as they are seen in Britain.
This …
Diagnosis Murder: Murder at the Telethon TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: Murder at the Telethon had Community General Hospital hosting its first annual emergency room telethon. It was raise money through the telethon or shut down. To me, it’s an amusing way to bring in some interesting guest stars, such as Dom Deluise. He plays …
