I Dream of Jeannie
One of my brother’s favourite shows these days is an old American television show named “I Dream of Jeannie”. He will watch it sometimes on the cable television channel Nickelodeon on a program called Nick at Nite and sometimes if I have the time I will watch it with …
Grey’s Anatomy Season 5 Episode 23 Here’s to the Future
Here’s to the Future is the first part in the two-hour finale for Season 5 of Grey’s Anatomy. And if you’re a fan of the series, you would know that season finales are usually one of the best episodes in the series.
The episode revolved around Izzie and her …
Dexter
I discovered Dexter the television series when I was in the United States for training when my officemate cajoled me into watching it with her. I was a bit curious when she told me that this was about a serial killer of serial killers. And so I sat down …
The Flintstones: Reel Trouble
I upgraded my Direct TV package yesterday and, as a result, was able to get a channel that was showing Flintstone’s cartoons. The one that was on last night was called Reel Trouble and was actually kind of cute.
Fred is obsessed with taking pictures of Pebbles so Wilma makes …
Wife Swap
I have watched this show a couple of times on lifetime movie network. It is somewhat interesting and entertaining to watch. Some episodes are a lot better than others. I think it gives people a learning experience who do the wife swap. My favorite part of the show is …
The Twilight Zone: To Serve Man
This is an episode of “The Twilight Zone” which both my boyfriend and I enjoy more than many other episodes. I think it has also been seen as one of the more popular episodes of the television series which aired from 1959 to 1964. This might be because this …
The Andy Griffith Show: Alcohol and Old Lace TV Show
The title from this outing of The Andy Griffith Show no doubt comes from the classic movie, Arsenic and Old Lace, which was a tale of two somewhat ditzy but loveable sisters who had a funny look on life. That could also be said of the sisters in …
Stargate SG1: Ascension Season 5, Episode 3
SG1 is on a planet - Daniel is trying to translate a large wall while Sam is looking at something that Jack thinks might be a weapon. When Jack and Teal’c leave to study the rest of the deserted planet, Daniel goes inside to ask Sam for something. …
House MD
House MD is a show about a team of doctors that diagnose illnesses that other doctors can’t. This is a great show for a variety of reasons.
The actors in this are superb. Hugh Laurie is wonderful as quirky, grumpy House and his love interests Cameron and Cuddy …
Star Trek: Voyager - Drive
“Drive”, the season seven episode of “Star Trek: Voyager”, is Star Trek’s one and only “space race” themed episode to date, and unfortunately, it is neither exciting or intense - two qualities that I associate with racing. Granted, it is difficult to do a race in space that is …
The X-Files Bad Blood Episode
I can remember this episode quite well. This was because this was an episode about vampires and it was more humorous to me than I would have expected an X-Files episode about vampires to be. I didn’t find it top be extraordinarily scary either, or gruesome like I found …
Rozerem (TV ad)
While watching television, I happened upon a commercial where a man is seated at his kitchen table with Abraham Lincoln, and what looks to be a groundhog, but is actually a beaver. In the rear, facing the sink (presumably washing dishes) is what looks like an astronaut. …
Star Trek: Assignment: Earth TV Show
If I recall correctly, Star Trek: Assignment: Earth, the last show of the second season, was actually a pilot for series that didn’t sell. It would have starred Robert Lansing as Gary Seven with Teri Garr as Roberta Lincoln. Personally, I liked it, and I would have …
It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia
It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia airs on FX, and is not a show for the faint of heart. If you’re easily offended by shows like South Park, you’ll find this show to be atrocious. Yes, this show is more offensive than South Park. The humor is …
Gilligan’s Island - Our Vines Have Tender Apes TV Show
In this episode Denny Miller guest stars as Tongo the Ape Man. Denny Miller and all his glory, no wonder I love the old Tarzan episodes so much I watched when I was a kid. He is so buffed up he even lifts Maryann and Ginger both at the …
Star Wars The Clone Wars: Destroy Malevolence (episode 4)
This is the final episode in the trilogy about the spaceship Malevolence commanded by General Grievous. The episode’s name pretty much gives away what the storyline is about: the Jedi destroying the ship. The episode stars Anakin, Obi-Wan and Padme. General Grievous, of course, also has a large part.
The …
Spongebob Squarepants TV Episode: Tentacle Vision
Synopsis: Squidward is disappointed about his favorite show being cancelled so he decides to host his own television show on public access. The only problem is Spongebob and Patrick end up showing up in the middle of his broadcast.
What I liked about this episode: One of the funniest things …
Married with Children TV Episode: Married Without Children
Synopsis: Peggy and Al decide to take a romantic vacation and Marcy and Steve agree to watch their kids as practice for when they become parents.
What I liked about this episode: Well, one of the big things was Al’s decision to agree to the romantic getaway simply because there …
M*A*S*H: That Darn Kid
M*A*S*H: That Darn Kid is the final episode of season 10 and it’s a comedy focused one, unlike the previous season’s rather downbeat episode. For the second time during the series, Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) is paymaster, a job he doesn’t look forward to at all.
Just when Hawkeye’s …
Simpsons TV Episode: Weekend at Burnsie’s
Well, the Simpsons repeat that was on last night wasn’t terrible but it also wasn’t what I was expecting it to be.
Weekend at Burnsie’s had so much potential. Homer injures his eye after befriending a bunch of crows only to make them mad at him later (I wonder what …
The Virginian: The Awakening TV Show
As I understand it, Roberta Shore, who played Betsy Garth on The Virginian from the beginning, left the series to get married and retired from show business. In this fourth season, her character would be turning 20, so that’s definitely marrying age. I am very glad they …
Charm School Season Three (VH1)
I never thought I would be a fan of Charm School. Still, I can’t say that I am a fan. But I’ve caught a few episodes and have found them to be somewhat charming actually. The ladies are all from other shows. And …
M*A*S*H: The Life You Save
The season finale from the ninth year of this super series is called The Life You Save and it focuses on Major Charles Emerson Winchester III (David Ogden Stiers), who is almost killed by a sniper. He’s fine at first and then he sees the hole in his …
CHiPs: Neighborhood Watch
CHiPs: Neighborhood Watch has a variety of interesting little stories that comprise the episode. One that I enjoy a lot involve the mischievous adventures of four neighborhood children, who keep ending up in trouble. They are quite believable in their antics. Robbie Rist, K.C. Martel, Lauri …
Fireball XL5: The Complete Series DVD collection
First of all, owning the Fireball XL5: The Complete Series DVD collection is something I’ve wanted for a long time. It’s a feel good, science fiction, and sentimental thing for me, so watching these shows again was really wonderful.
The five-disk set have a collector’s box that they fit …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Brother’s Keeper TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Brother’s Keeper, the 33rd show from season 4 of this western program, was written by Jay Simms. I don’t often mention the writers, but I liked the way he constructed this episode. It was dramatic and somewhat whimsical at the same time. …
Entourage show
I watched a couple of shows, until I finally realized I don’t much like it. In fact, I don’t understand all the hype about this show. It’s shallow, the cast are like two bit actors who’ve never heard of acting workshops, and the storyline isn’t at all fantastic.
This show …
The Virginian: The Brazen Bell
The Virginian: The Brazen Bell brought a very interesting portrayal, courtesy of George C. Scott. Royal Dano also did his usual good job. Dano is a character actor who has done more roles than I can count. He’s in at least two shows from season 1 …
Due South: Bird in the Hand
Due South: Bird in the Hand is an interesting show for the second season of this action/adventure drama about a Canadian Mountie working in Chicago. The villainous Mountie that our hero, Benton Fraser, sent to jail for murdering Fraser Sr. has escaped. Apparently, his reason for going …
Dead Like Me: Curious George
“At the end of the day, all you have are experiences.”
This quote is from the end of Dead Like Me: Curious George, and it’s the end of this show that is the first time I thought I might end up having some like for the main character of Georgia …
Smallville: Abyss
“Abyss” is the ninth episode of season eight of Smallville on the CW. This episode was fantastic and really set the stage for a huge confrontation between Clark and Doomsday, who will apparently emerge from the new character Davis.
The mood of this episode was dark and dreadful, as …
Stargate SG-1: Crusade
Stargate SG-1: Crusade is definitely not a favorite show. The biggest problem with it is that Claudia Black is back as Vala, and that’s a sure sign of disaster. The horrid premise has her in the Ori galaxy using a device to contact the SGC, and in …
Law & Order SVU TV Episodes: Counterfeit
Synopsis: The SVU detectives have to prove a cop is responsible for a rape/murder of a pharmaceutical lab assistant.
What I liked about this episode: I think one of the cool things about this episode is how it manages to jerk you in a number of different directions with a …
Probe: Metamorphic Anthropoidic Prototype Over You
I’m going to say up front that I really thought I was going to enjoy Probe: Metamorphic Anthropoidic Prototype Over You, and I did, except that I don’t like the ending, which is too melancholy for me. I have concerns about what will happen to subject of the …
Dead Like Me: Reapercussions
Dead Like Me: Reapercussions has George, otherwise known as Georgia Lass, still questioning if she can get around the system and not be a grim reaper. In the process, she learns more about her fellow grim reaper co-worker, Roxy (Jasmine Guy). She gains insight that helps her …
Criminal Minds —“ Season One —“ Episode Nine —“ Derailed
A lot of people who are considered geniuses are also crazy themselves. This is an episode about a doctor with a severe case of paranoid delusions. He thought the government had implanted something in him. The bad thing was, he was trapped on a train with people! One lady …
Naked News TV
The whole concept behind Naked News TV is simple…anchors read the news segment either naked or while stripping down to their bare nothing. This original program hails from Canada and features the following ladies as of May 2008 as the achors for the show:
Katherine Curtis, newly introduced since 2008
Christine …
Days of Our Lives
I’ve been watching Days of Our Lives for years. Since I was a kid actually since daytime programming isn’t very child friendly. So after all these years of watching Days of Our lives I have to say I hate this show.
The actors are terrible. As with …
Big Train - Series One
Written by the minds behind Father Ted and the IT Crowd, this strange sketch show that first debuted in the late 90s might at first be a difficult one to get into.
Essentially, here we have a sketch show with a difference. The main difference being, the punch line …
That Girl: Kimono My House
While it’s cute enough, I’ve never really liked That Girl: Kimono My House all that much. I can’t really point out any special reason why it’s not a favorite, but that’s just the way I feel about it.
Apparently, Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) goes to Don Hollinger’s (Ted Bessell) …
The Twilight Zone: People Are Alike All Over TV Show
The Twilight Zone: People Are Alike All Over is an intriguing episode that always fascinates me no matter how many times I see it, and I’ve seen it a bunch over the years. Roddy McDowall is the main guest star and that’s probably a good reason why the …
The Prisoner: The General
The Prisoner: The General takes the theory of speed reading and turns it into speed learning, something the villainous Number Two (Colin Gordon for the second time) wants to use to try and brainwash the citizens of The Village. It’s an odd method that works to an extent.
The …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Great Mojave Chase
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Great Mojave Chase, episode 3 of season 1, starts out with some fun humor, all stemming from Paladine buying a camel to take across the Mojave Desert. It creates quite a stir. Written by Gene Roddenberry, the best part was the …
NCIS Los Angeles Season 3 Episode 3
Episode 3 of season 3 of NCIS Los Angeles feels like a beginning and an end of a certain storyline. At the end of the last season Hetty has officially quit her post (of course, we know that it did not mean anything since Hetty could never leave the …
Ghost Hunters: Glimmer Men
You know, I used to love the show Ghost Hunters. Now I watch it but I honestly am not as big of a fan as I used to be. I think this is because the episodes aren’t as exciting as they used to be.
Last night’s episode, Glimmer Men, had …
I Love Lucy - Ricky’s Movie Offer
This is the first episode of what would become a story arc that spans, for the most part, the rest of season four and part of season five. In this episode, a talent scout arrives from Hollywood to meet and observe Ricky to see if he is the right …
Dead Like Me: Dead Girl Walking
Dead Like Me: Dead Girl Walking is the second episode of this rather offbeat drama from the Showtime Channel. It’s all about Georgia ‘George’ Lass, who was killed and is now undead and a grim reaper.
This basically furthers the storyline. George wonders what might happen if she …
