Stargate SG1: The Other Side

Psych TV Episode: Not So Close Encounters

The Apprentice - UK - Week 10

The Philanthropist
I had really high hopes for The Philanthropist when I first saw the commercials. It looked like an exciting action/adventure show with a real human element, and important moral message. The pilot lived up to those expectations. Telling the story of a billionaire who suddenly snaps …

Dancing with the Stars: S11, Wk 3 Performance TV Show
The third week of Dancing with the Stars’s 11th season had some interesting costumes. I don’t often pay that much attention, but they were noticeable as the stars descended the stairs. This week, the dancers were charged by the judges to do a story themed dance, which …
Dexter - season 1 - Complete season
So how did this award-winning tv show start? Well Dexter, in my opinion, is a very distinctive tv show from all the others. It is not a simple crimishow. The whole idea of Dexter, as shown in season 1, is to portray the crime scene from Dexter´s point of …
Destination Truth TV Episode: Thai Tree People/Ayia Napa Monster
Synopsis: Josh and his crew travel to Thailand in search of a half-human, half-plant creature that the locals claim to have seen in the jungle. The second investigation has them traveling in search of a sea monster.

Titanic: The Mission Part 4 TV Show
This review is for the fourth installment out of five called Titanic: The Mission. The documentary production was made by the British and had the unique stance of honoring the engineers who built the Titanic versus simply doing a tribute to the disaster itself.
The biggest focus of the …
Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: Force of Habit TV Show

It’s Always Sunny in Philidelphia: Seasons 1-6
If I had a top ten list of my favorite shows, It’s always Sunny in Philadelphia would be number one on my list. It is laugh out loud funny from beginning to end and the cast is Phenomenal. The series focuses on the lives of 3 friends Dennis (Glenn …

Due South: Mountie and Soul
Due South: Mountie and Soul doesn’t begin promisingly for me. I don’t like boxing, and the story begins with Fraser, the Vecchio replacement, and Francesca at a boxing ring. Too much of these stories are being focused on this newcomer, Callum Keith Rennie, as the Vecchio replacement …
Oprah TV Show
Oprah is quite possibly the most popular talk show on the planet. Part of what makes Oprah so popular is that she is always so nice. On one of her episodes this past year she gave a audience full of teachers their own new car. On every episode she …
Star Trek: The Next Generation
I have long been a fan of anything with the words “Star” and “Trek” in the title. I watched the original series many years ago. But, when Star Trek: The Next Generation came on the scene, I refused to watch it simply because I wasn’t willing to accept a …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Maggie O’Bannion was another one of those episodes where Paladin just happens into a drama that isn’t really of his own making. In this case, he’s just riding along when he’s set up and ultimately knocked off his horse. His clothes and …
Brothers & Sisters
This new series from ABC came as a wonderful surprise for me. I just love Sally Field and absolutely adore Calista Flockheart. This show is about the most dysfunctional family I have ever seen on television, next to the Bradys ofcourse. Their lives revolve around each other, it makes …
Max & Ruby
There really aren�t many cartoons on television I�ll approve 100 percent for my daughter. The bulk of them are either too cheesy or feature crude humor; two things that will either make it boring for her or will make me want to monitor which episodes she watches.
The show Max …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Race TV Show
Paladin has another romantic evening interrupted by Hey Boy delivering a message in Have Gun - Will Travel: The Race. The message is a request for him to participate in a horse race. A kiss later, the girl is gone and Paladin prepares to leave. What …
The Little Einsteins (tv show)

Fireball XL5: Hypnotic Sphere
Fireball XL5: Hypnotic Sphere is one of 39 episodes of this supermarionation puppet series from Gerry Anderson. What I enjoy is that the puppets really do have some great personalities. They’re pretty well rounded, all things considered.
In this show, there’s a neat scene where Professor Matt Matic …
The Virginian: Woman from White Wing
The Virginian: Woman from White Wing is the second episode of this western series. It told a bit of the Garth background in that we learn that Betsy (Roberta Shore) was adopted and wasn’t the natural daughter of Judge Henry Garth (Lee J. Cobb).
The guest star is Barry …
Are you Smarter than a 5th Grader
When the game show Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader came out, I didn’t think it would be any good. And, because of that, I didn’t watch it.
However, I’ve been seeing some re-runs of the show on some of our local channels and have to confess, it is …
Touching Evil: Y Me
Bruce Willis is the man behind the American adaptation of this British TV show called Touching Evil. It’s strange and oddly compelling, but if you blink, you’ll liable to miss something important.
Jeffrey Donovan does a great job as Creegan, the quirky detective who responds differently to the world …
Celebrity Ghost Stories
I can’t remember what TV station this was on this past weekend, but my wife and I came across the show Celebrity Ghost Stories and found it to be one of the most entertaining ghost programs we have seen.
I have seen countless shows about so-called ghosts; the best being …

Bring ‘Em Back Alive: A Switch in Time
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: A Switch in Time has a couple of decent moments in it, but mostly, it lacks cohesion and entertainment values.
In the opening scenes, for example, the big star is Fanny the chimp. Fanny’s in several episodes, and in this one, she gets to cause …
Highway Patrol: Gem Robbery TV Show
Highway Patrol: Gem Robbery, a second year episode of this police drama centers around a robbery of gems. The show opens with the robbery, though we don’t know at first what is happening.

Star Trek: The Next Generation - A Matter of Honor
This second season episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation - “A Matter of Honor” is an episode that is quite fun to watch, although it does have its flaws. This is the show’s second Klingon-focused episode, and like the first Klingon episode, this episode excels - at least, …
True Blood Season 3 Episode 10 “I smell a rat”
Like all true blood episodes this one was filled with a little bit for everyone. We had violence, death, homosexuality, nudity, drug and alcohol abuse, sex and lots of blood. No episode of this show is boring or predictable in any way. That is why I …
The Twilight Zone: Caesar and Me TV Show
Goodness, it’s another show about ventriloquists and their dummies. I just do not like these episodes of any show, and it’s a letdown to see one on a good show like The Twilight Zone. Never the less, that’s what viewers got in April 1964 with the episode …
Dancing with the Stars - Performance 5/11/09
My first beef with tonight’s two-hour show is that the first half-hour was a review. I would have liked to have known that in advance. Traditionally, they’ve put review shows as a separate entity. Nevertheless, the real meat of the show was, of course, the dancing.
Melissa …
So You Think You Can Dance
I would prefer to watch So You Think You Can Dance instead of other shows like American Idol or America’s Got Talent because there’s something that stands out to me about that show. I love seeing how many talented people there are out there, and they way that they …
The Office TV Show
A few years ago, NBC’s The Office was the best show on the air. Quick, clever, and hilarious, this was a pleasure to tune into each and every week. The excitement of the tension between Pam and Jim, the awkwardness that Michael is sure to cause, and Dwight’s disturbing …
The Flintstones
The Flintstones was one of my favourite cartoons when i was a kid. I loved watching it every day and I’m sure lots of other kids did too.
What i liked about it was the prehistoric setting. I think cave men and women will go down well with …
Due South: Juliet Is Bleeding
This second season episode of Due South focuses more on Detective Ray Vecchio (David Marciano), with Canadian Mountie Benton Fraser (Paul Gross) somewhat secondary. It revolves around more old friends of Ray’s that are on the wrong side of the right and wrong tracks.
One part of the storyline …
Hogan’s Heroes: Kommandant Schultz
Well, that was kind of a funny episode of Hogan’s Heroes at lunch today; Kommandant Schultz.
The major mission they had (smuggling some sort of building material to England) really took second to the other storyline in this episode; Schultz being named commander of the POW camp as part of …
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Dreams TV show
In 1982’s Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Dreams, Cameron Mitchell guest stars as Ben Shepherd, who works for the lumber company. Brian (Drake Hogestyn) decides he wants to learn that business and takes a break from the ranch for a while.
The merits of the show aside, there was …
The Jersey Shore TV show
The Jersey Shore TV show that was on MTV at first glance seemed like a pile of rubbish, at least that’s what I thought when I watched it the very first time but after the first few episodes I ended up really liking this show for some reason.
First of …
That Girl: Rich Little Rich Kid
In That Girl: Rich Little Rich Kid, Sam Melville of The Rookies fame portrays the disgustingly wealthy Roddy Waxman, who takes a shine to Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) and insists on dating her. In fact, to get his point across, he buys out the house for Ann’s play. …
