The Ray Bradbury Theater: Sun and Shadow from October 1992 was a show that I had some problems with, not in terms of the production but in the main character and what his supposedly heroic deeds were. Heroic may not be the right word. Perhaps it’s more …

This is the fourth season finale. I found this episode to be really sad. In this episode Alison is contacted by a lawyer who wants her to go to his house and calm down his wife. She had really loved that house and he went through a lot of trouble …

I got hooked watching this TV channel the first time we got our cable installed at home. Being a food fanatic and a trying hard cook, I enjoyed watching the different segments. There is always something new to learn especially when it comes to recipe ideas, food preparation, and …

I find From the Earth to the Moon - Part 11: The Original Wives Club to be perhaps the most poignant of the 12 episodes that make up this 1998 mini-series which aired on HBO. This is the story of the wives of the original nine astronauts selected …

This is a fun show that I think I learn a lot from. While a lot of the advice is not necessarily applicable to my life, it’s interesting to see what other people have done and what the solution is.
There is of course a certain sense of humour …

This is absolutely one of my favorite Spongebob Squarepants Episodes of all times, and we own it on boxed collection on DVD because we watch so much Spongebob at our house. I started to collect the seasons on DVD when we had kids, just because it keeps them happy …

This episode of Ghost Hunters wasn’t too bad because the TAPS team at least seems to make a legitimate effort to debunk the cases.
The first one was in a private home where a little girl was being haunted by the spirit of another child. I don’t really buy …

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. …

I think the show Supernatural is the best and spookiest TV show. So far nothing has even come close to the greatness of Supernatural. I think the show has great story lines and plots. The story always flows in the show and it keeps you on the edge of …

“The Cat And The Canary” is the 14th episode of season one of Justice League Unlimited, which aired on the Cartoon Network and is now available on DVD. This was a passable episode with some large holes in the plot. However, it did give the viewer a …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Mist of Silence, episode four, opens with a lot of action as we see an attempted murder of a Latin American President. I never really like this kind of thing, so when I see this type of opening, it makes …

I’ve come a long way with my tolerance level for Hair Battle Spectacular. While it is still an outlandish show, full of arrogant contestants, it’s not that off par from any other reality show. It just takes a bit of watching to get into the speciality of …

Extreme Makeover is a television series where each week they show 2 people who think they are ugly and want to have an entire makeover. The makeover consists of not only clothes, hair and makeup and weight but of plastic surgery. Unfortunately I think it does …

Just like the pilot did, this episode centers around the existence of extra-terrestrials. Whereas the pilot focused on the phenomenon of abductions, this one put more of an emphasis on the conspiracy theories that the military is covering it up and running tests on alien technology.
Not surprisingly, Mulder …

This show had the potential to lead to a really funny and good subplot, and while it’s great here, they really don’t do anything with it. In Due South: Mountie Sings the Blues, Constable Turnbull is in deep like with Francesca and acts on it. It’s very …

“Jealousy” is an episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show”. This episode follows a pretty standard formula that I imagine, at the time, hadn’t been done to death like it has by now. In this episode, Rob ends up working late several nights with a beautiful woman that is …

The opening sequence for Eureka!, the new series on SciFi, unfortunately fails to do what opening credit sequences are designed to do.
The sequence consists of three parts: first, the credits themselves, which tell you the name of the show and the name of the primary cast members. Second, …

Stargate SG-1: Lost City Part 1 was the first of a two-part season ender for the science fiction show. While much of it is excellent, I have problems with other facets of the production.
This show marks the end of an era, and it’s not one I liked. …

I am a major fan of the showtime series weeds. If you have never watched any of this fantastic show, you really don’t know what you are missing. Asides from being insanely entertaining, it is also emotional and funny!
Nancy Botwin has to start selling marijuana to support her family …

This episode marks the first rising of Apophis. While SG1 believed that Apophis was killed in the explosion on his ship, Bray’tek tells them that he and Klorel escaped via the rings, much like Daniel did.
Bray’tek tells Teal’c that Apophis has kidnapped his son, R’yac. The team …

The third episode of Emerald Point N.A.S. has some pretty good drama to it. There’s actually an argument that occurs very early on between Jack and Celia that is pretty intimidating. They are shot close up in the profile and they are really in each other’s personal …

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 …

Mad Men is witty and refreshing.
Mad Men is AMC’s latest television series based on advertisers in New York City. It’s based in the 1950’s with “Ad Men” as they call themselves, attempting to find new ways to sell companies.
I had heard bits and pieces of the show from …

The season ten premier of Smallville was called Lazarus, and it was a good one.
I don’t watch this show regularly, but since I watched the season 9 finale and since I’ll be watching the second episode of season 10 (both because the shows guest star Michael Shanks as Hawkman), …

A Man Called Hawk: If Memory Serves has an interesting premise, one I haven’t quite seen before, at least not in this type of presentation. The story revolves around Alex Chavin (Paul Butler), a Haitian man who remembers everything he hears and reads. It’s not a photographic …

It was a father and son outing on this 14th episode of Sea Hunt’s third season on the air. The show was titled Pirate Gold and aired originally back in April 1960. The star of this underwater adventure series is Lloyd Bridges, who played the role of …

When it comes to classic TV, one of the best is “The Andy Griffith Show”, or TAGS as frequent internet watchers refer to it. When it comes to best episodes of TAGS, few would argue that “Citizen’s Arrest” is right up there at the top.
This episode has classic …

“The New Boss” is the episode of The Office originally airing on NBC on March 19, 2009. This was a great episode because it actually focused on the workplace, especially a new supervisor for Michael.
Pros: I loved that the plot involved a new Vice President, Charles Miner. …

My daughter and I ended up sitting down to watch a re-run of The Simpsons last night entitled The Mook, The Chef, The Wife and Her Homer. I have seen bits and pieces of this one before but last night was the first time I finally got to watch …

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.

This episode was very ridiculous but also very interesting in the same time. The general idea was taken from the …

OK, I’ll admit the Simpsons episode The Frying Game was both interesting and funny.
I’m not sure where to begin with this one. You have Homer being sentenced to community service because he accidentally injures a rare screaming caterpillar. And, during his meals on wheels work, comes across a rich …

I really liked this episode since we have actual headhunters on the island this time which is rare on this show. Again the Castaways are fighting for survival, and they actually prepare calmly and with some sort of order this time. But again Gilligan messes up, but his goof …
