The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 5: Troll Bridge
The first few minutes of this episode had me worried that this was going to be a dud. We follow what is later to be revealed to be a troll as he goes off on his own and had “wacky adventures” in New York City. Luckily, we …
Baywatch
Baywatch was a cool show in it’s time and I loved to watch it. I think Baywatch does not get the credit it deserves as all it is really known for is pretty girls running on the beach and when the show first came out it was a …
TV Show: Late Show with David Letterman
Synopsis: Late night talk show starring comedian David Letterman as the host; mixing comedy with musical performances and interviews with special guests.
What I liked about this show: I used to watch this show religiously when I was younger but haven’t watched it in a long time. In fact, the …
Clueless
The movie version fo Clueless was such a hit that of course the television executives tried to find a way to capitalise on it, bringing into existence Clueless the television series.
Now while this series was okay and by okay I mean bearable, watchable but not good, it lacked in …
My Name is Earl Season 2
My Name is Earl is one of the few television shows that I watch frequently. I’ve been a fan of Jason Lee’s for years now, since back before he was in the Kevin Smith movies, and seeing him on television every week is a secret thrill. During the second …
Tales of the Gold Monkey: God Save the Queen
Things are turning south for this show. While there is intrigue, I see indications of it going by way of Bring ‘Em Back Alive, and I think that’s a shame. In Tales of the Gold Monkey: God Save the Queen, Jake and Corky discover that someone they …
Samantha who? season 1
This show is about a girl who had a car accident and after she wokes up from the coma she doesn’t remember anything about her life and herself. So now she has to learn everything about herself and most of the things she learns she doesn’t like, so she …
Galapagos: The Islands That Changed The World
Oh my! Nature lovers, if you have yet to watch Galapagos: The Islands That Changed The World the documentary, what are you waiting for? Kids would love this. They should feature this on science centers with 3D effect, it would be so amazing. Notice nature at its …
Outsourced: The Measure of a Manmeet TV Show
It was a fluke that I watched this second episode of Outsourced called The Measure of a Manmeet. I am pretty sure that fluke won’t happen again because this show is just third class and even offensive. It’s ridiculously stereotypical and instead of focusing on a concept …
The World’s Tallest Children
This program came on TLC and I was so amazed by the families and the children that I saw. They were absolutely huge. Not just tall people, but actually really large. There was this one girl from Thailand who was to travel to England to find …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Outcast
Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Outcast is a very disappointing episode of the series that was supposed to be an episode that explored homosexuality and an alien culture’s desire to “change” those members of the population that exhibit such “unnatural” feelings, however the means in which this …
Friends TV show - The one where Chandler takes a bath
One day, Monica is going into the bathroom because she wants to take a bath, and Chandler is making fun of her because he thinks that baths are not that great. He doesn’t really know what baths are really like because he has never even taken one, so he …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Sky’s on Fire TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Sky’s on Fire, the 18th show of the 2nd season, was a terrific episode to watch. However, just a few moments into the show, it might look very familiar to some.
This story is a variation of the movie the series …
Highway Patrol: Portrait of Death TV Show
Highway Patrol: Portrait of Death is the 7th episode of the fourth year, airing back in November 1958. Police dramas were different then. This show which has been considered a leader from early television is rather tame and has some real staging and directing problems. However, …
Highway Patrol: Reformation TV Show
Highway Patrol: Reformation aired towards the back end of this police drama’s second season. I like the concept of this episode, though I think that some of the drama could have been enhanced to give more intrigue for the viewers.
Broderick Crawford plays the confident Chief Dan Mathews, head …
Fame: Expose
I always remember Fame: Expose fairly well, mainly because it guest starred Brian Patrick Clark, best known both for Eight is Enough and General Hospital. He’s always fun to watch, whether he’s a good guy or a villain, and he plays both with equal expertise. He has …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Mechanical Man TV Show
I love this show. I’m going to say that right off the bat. Of course, I’ve been writing reviews talking about Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and how much I liked the show growing up and even now, but this particular episode, The Mechanical Man, …
Chasing Mummies: Lost TV Show
Lost is the third episode of the History Channel’s controversial documentary series, Chasing Mummies. This show purports to follow archaeologist Dr. Zahi Hawass as he works in Egypt. A camera crew follows him around day and night, and it’s not always a pleasant situation.
The problem with Chasing …
Hana Yori Dango 1 and 2
I just finished watching the Japanese series called Hana Yori Dango. I know this was shown in Japan in 2007, and I am most probably late at doing this review, but I just finished it and here is what I have to say, I love this series so much …
Defying Gravity (ABC SERIES)
As another year of viewing pleasure draws to end, a sizable heap of shows lie cancelled, victims of the dreaded, unforgiving axe.
Amongst them, ABC’s sci-fi drama Defying Gravity: an ambitious tale of eight astronauts on a six year long exploration of the solar system. This show seemed to …
Hawaii Five-O: The Big Kahuna
Except for a re-editing of the series pilot as a two-part story that followed this show, Hawaii Five-O: The Big Kahuna is the final episode of the first season of this long-lasting crime show. It focuses on a Hawaiian legend, the goddess of fire, Pele. She is seen …
Stargate SG-1: Demons
Stargate SG-1: Demons is a sort of odd entry in the minds of some for the third season of the sci-fi series. In this episode, SG-1 find themselves on a planet that is reminiscent of Medieval Europe in their way of living and beliefs.
At issue in part is …
The Mrs. Bradley Mysteries: Laurels Are Poison
The Mrs. Bradley Mysteries continue with a murder mystery called Laurels Are Poison. The beautiful and alluring Diana Rigg stars as Adela Bradley, and believe me, there is nothing conventional about her. Adela is as out there as a woman could be in the early 1900’s and …

The ring has always been a symbol of an invisible but powerful bond. It usually signifies romantic relationship but also may be used for friends or sometimes relatives.

Spongebob Squarepants TV Episode: Splinter
Synopsis: Spongebob gets a splinter in his finger and tries to hide it rather than remove it because of the pain. However, when he is sent home, he needs to find a way to get it out of his finger so he can return to work.
What I liked about …
M*A*S*H: Dear Peggy
It’s Captain B.J. Huneycutt’s (Mike Farrell) turn to write home, and the recipient is his wife, Peggy. It’s an okay show, but it lacks the cohesiveness of some of the early letter home episodes.
One of the fun tidbits is Hawkey Pierce (Alan Alda) going for the record book …
Gilmore Girls - A year in the life
Gilmore Girls- A year in the life is a treat for the huge fanbase of Gilmore girls who were sad after the show ended after 7 seasons of love received by the viewers. Gilmore girls focuses on a single mother and her daughter who live in a small town as …
The United States of Tara Season 2 Episode 10 “Open House.”
I highly recommend this show to everyone. This is a great show with clever dialog and wonderful acting. The main character, Tara, played by Toni Collette is a woman who suffers from multiple personality disorder. She has a handful of personalities we get to see …
Super Nanny show
Super Nanny (with child-care expert and author, Jo Frost) is a reality show that offers more than its share of redeeming value.

Columbo: The Complete Sixth and Seventh Season DVD set
Columbo: The Complete Sixth and Seventh Season DVD set is comprised of three DVDs, just like earlier seasons. Consumers need to remember that Columbo was part of the Mystery Movie lineup and tended to air just once a month during a season. As time passed, even that …
The Office: Branch Closing
“Whatever you can say about Michael, he wouldn’t have done that,” is the line of the episode. Watching “The Office” is about watching Michael do stupid things, but it’s good to be reminded occasionally that he has his good points and though in real like he almost certainly …
Wagon Train: The Duncan McIvor Story
Wagon Train: The Duncan McIvor Story isn’t a favorite of mine. In fact, it’s not one that I particularly enjoy watching. To be truthful, though I’ve seen it before, when watching the DVD again, it took me a few times to get through it. I just …
Making the Band (MTV show)
I have two criticisms of this show. The first is with the show’s creator, Sean Diddy Combs. The second is with the performers. The show itself is not much different in that the focus is to create a band to go out and …
Launch My Line fashion design show
I love sewing and I love fashion design, so to have a negative review about “Launch My Line” weighs heavy on me. “Launch My Line” is a new fashion design show that premiered December 2, 2009, on Bravo. Bravo has several successful reality shows, and one most notable was …
Reno 911
Reno 911 is like the funniest and stupidest television show ever. Each time I tune in I laugh so hard. This show must be made on a small budget, but it is great! I thought the movie was ok, no where near as great as the television show!
I watch …
Gone Country 2 - episode 1
Tonight I watched the first episode of the second season of Gone Country on CMT, hosted by John Rich. This show takes stars from different music genres, and even other career paths, and gives them a crash course on turning country, music wise. The winner gets a …
Justice League Unlimited Season One: Double Date

Dancing with the Stars - Australia - Week 3 TV Show
Week 3 of Dancing with the Stars - Australia began with a big of a joke when they introduced one of the bottom 2 from last week as Jason Stevens, who had actually been voted off last week. Some caught it, but I’m not sure every did. …
Doctor Who: Season 4, Episode 6: The Poison Sky
Things are looking grim for the Doctor, what with the entire planet being covered in a toxic gas. Fortunately, while the gas is toxic, it’s not quite lethal yet, giving everyone time to come up with a plan to stop the Sontaran’s scheme.
As big as this episode was …
Biggest Loser - December 9th 2008
I watched this episode less than 24 hours ago (I taped it) and it’s like a big blur thinking back on it. Nothing really stood out to me. It was the typical last show before the finale. The winner of the week’s competition received catered food, …
Voyagers!: Barriers of Sound
Voyagers!: Barriers of Sound is an intriguing connection of two historical events. It’s shows like this one that proved how creative Voyagers! could be. It begins with history going wrong with Dwight David Eisenhower almost didn’t get born, or survive. The reason? The telephone hadn’t …
Britain’s Tudor Treasure: A Night At Hampton Court (TV Documentary)
What a better way to mark the 500th anniversary of the famous Hampton Court than to recreate the most important event that took place there.

Beverly Hillbillies: Granny Goes to Hooterville
I didn’t get to see the other parts to this Beverly Hillbillies episode. But, the first part of Granny Goes to Hooterville is definitely clever and funny.

The Office dvd
I loved The Office from the first time I watched it on television. When Season one became available on dvd, I bought it immediately. I did not mind paying twenty dollars for eight episodes. Steve Carrell is hilarious, he is the worlds funniest boss without a doubt.
In season one …
Modern Family (comedy tv series)
Although I discovered the sitcom Modern Family years after it begun, it has become one of my favourite series to watch especially after a long day at work. This is because a part from the fact that there is never a boring episode, it never fails to make me laugh …
