Dancing with the Stars: S11, Wk 1 Performance TV Show
Dancing with the Stars began its 11th season with a rousing first week of performances from a questionable cast that actually proved to be quite entertaining.
Jennifer Grey was rockin’ from the start and is my focus due to Patrick Swayze. It was emotional for Jennifer, though. The …
That Girl: This Little Piggy Had a Ball
One of the most classic episodes in the history of That Girl is from the comedy’s first season. It’s called This Little Piggy Had a Ball, and it’s the episode when a curious Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) puts her toe into a bowling ball, and it gets stuck.
That …
Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: Pai Gow TV Show
Most of Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: Pai Gow doesn’t impress me as much as most other episodes from the drama do. The series revolves around the reunited father and son, Kwai Chang Caine and Peter Caine, as played by David Carradine and Chris Potter, respectively.
The essence of …
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Seven Keys to Singapore: Part 1
Bring ‘Em Back Alive was a story based very loosely on big game hunter, Frank Buck. The goal was not to kill the prey, but to bring ‘em back alive, to zoos and such. The show starred Bruce Boxleitner, Cindy Morgan, Clyde Kusatsu, and Ron Neal.
My impressions …

Since Drew’s stunt with involving himself with …
Doctor Who: Season 2, Episode 4: School Reunion
As the episode opens, we see that the Doctor is posing as a physics teacher. The role seems to suit him well, though it’s clear that something’s amiss as there are children who know far more than any child, or human for that matter, should.
It turns …
Wagon Train: The Kate Crawley Story
Barbara Stanwyck returns for the second time in season seven in Wagon Train: The Kate Crawley Story. The story revolves around her and wagonmaster Chris Hale’s romance, something that was hinted at in the season opener, The Molly Kincaid Story.
Stanwyck is a superb actress, and she pulls off …
Ghost Hunters: Haunted Asylum
Well, the Ghost Hunters episode I watched last night, Haunted Asylum, was an OK episode but definitely not one of the best ones I have seen.
They are asked to visit an asylum in West Virginia and walk around the place looking for spirits that are supposedly there.
First, Jason and …
Sea Hunt: The Hero TV Show
From 1958, Sea Hunt: The Hero has some good bits to it and was interesting to watch, I’m happy to say. I like the opening where we learn what project Mike Nelson, expert skin diver, is working on at the moment, and that’s research to see if plant …
America’s Best Dance Crew
I love this dancing show from the first time that I watched Mario Lopez flash his dimples. I have to give it to the producers of this show. Their choice of dance crews is really good. I enjoy the fast paced dancing that every crew dishes out. As Shane …
Star Trek: Whom Gods Destroy TV Show
I repeat: Starfleet needs a better screen process for its captains. In the past three years, we’ve seen some really bad ones. In Star Trek: Whom Gods Destroy, we get to meet another one. At least this guy isn’t a current captain. Actually, this guy …
Curb Your Enthusiasm - TV Show
I watched the first season or two of Curb Your Enthusiasm recently. It’s a comedy show that used to be on HBO and it won a bunch of comedy awards so my favorable review is going to be nothing new to the enlightened television watcher who by fluke …
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 …

The Trap, the 14th outing of Highway Patrol’s final season on the air, focused around Ted Wilson, convicted criminal. The police use him as bait to get the rest of the group. Crime Boss Wilson is being transported to the state prison, and even though it smells …
Pysch TV Episode: One, Maybe Two, Ways Out
When I saw the previews for last night’s summer finale of Psych, I will admit I had some doubts about it. After all, it was an episode that had Shawn and Gus helping an international spy. It just seemed a bit unbelievable.
But, after watching it, I have to admit …
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 …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Squatter’s Rights TV Show
The 34th episode of the sixth season for Have Gun - Will Travel was the last of the series. Paladin had his last battle with the bad guys in Squatter’s Rights. Truth be known, I wish they’d chosen a lighter theme for their last episode. Of …

Nip Tuck
Nip Tuck is a very edgy show. It is one of my husband’s and my favorite shows. Nip Tuck pushes the boundaries of what it can get away with on television. They have had every possible random situation on the show. It is about two plastic surgeons and their …
Smallville : Requiem
A lot happened in this episode of Smallville, and some of it will be good for the show, but I don’t know that I cared much for it as a singular episode. In this episode Lana and Clark have gotten together and are destroying beds. Lana has superpowers …
Law and Order SVU Season 1 Episode 19- Contact
Law and Order SVU Season 1 Episode 19- Contact
I really loved this episode. I thought it was absolutely coming in. Just because of the story that they have come up with. This is not just another crime investigation, this was absolutely interesting and unusual. I …

A Man Called Hawk: Never My Love opens with Angela Bassett, who recurs on this series as Bailey Webster, a friend of Hawk’s. Bailey is an intelligent, strong, and self-assured character, only she shows here that she’s also very dumb. This show isn’t back in the 60’s; …
24 season 8 (Jack’s Women)
This season confirms Jack Bauer’s vulnerability to women. I always thought he is strong and invincible but when it comes to the women in his life, he is not ashamed to show his weakness. Since the first season up to this one, Jack has had so many memorable relationships …
20 on 20
On directtv there are music channels that are xm. Well this channel is called 20 on 20. Overall it’s pretty good. I like some of the other music channels a lot better but they are pretty good. Some times I go to it and they don’t have anything good …
Shark show
Shark stars James Woods.
Any show with James Woods is okay with me. I truly feel that he is the country’s finest actor and can carry a show by himself. In this case he does, as the show is not special in any way. The writers need …
Undercover Boss: Frontier Airlines TV Show

Sea Hunt: Recovery TV Show
Sea Hunt: Recovery is one of my favorite episodes for this adventure series that deals with diving expert Mike Nelson, as played by Lloyd Bridges. At the beginning of the show, we get the usual Nelson narration to let us know what’s happening. In this segment, he …
A Man Called Hawk: Passing the Bar
Avery Brooks stars in the title role in A Man Called Hawk: Passing the Bar, the fourth show of this series only season. If the character sounds familiar, you probably watched Spenser for Hire because this program is a spin off from that one. In fact, author Robert …
The Simpsons: No Loan Again, Naturally
One of our local stations has been showing Simpsons re-runs of episodes that are more recent and, as a result, I haven’t seen before. Last night, they showed one called No Loan Again, Naturally, which I thought was pretty good.
The episode starts out with Homer throwing a big bash …
Highway Patrol: Hot Dust TV Show

CSI New York Season 2 Episode 9 City of Dolls
That was an interesting episode and I enjoyed it very much. Although there was something a bit strange about it. I can’t really put my finger on it, but there was something in the details of the story which was a bit bothersome. Yet, with the general themes of …
TV show Lost
I watched Lost about three years ago, up until the end of the third season, when it was just getting too weird for me. No weird is not the word, unreal is how it was. The idea behind Lost is really cool, and the first few seasons are great, …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Dark Ages
One of the interesting things about the earlier episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the fact you really never get to learn too much about the librarian Giles and his past.
The episode The Dark Ages changes that.
This was actually a very good episode both because we learn Giles …
That Girl: There’s Nothing to Be Afreud of But Freud Himself
That Girl: There’s Nothing to Be Afreud of But Freud Himself is one of those shows that I’m not so crazy about. Not every episode can be a winner, and while there is plenty to laugh about, this ink blot joke just doesn’t quite capture my funny bone …
Stargate SG-1: Birthright
Stargate SG-1: Birthright is an intriguing episode from season seven. It’s the introduction of a female Jaffa named Ishta, wonderfully portrayed by Jolene Blalock. She’s the best pairing with Teal’c since the actresses who played his wife on the series.
Blalock and the other women who are part …
Fairly Oddparents: Christmas Every Day
I was watching Christmas-related cartoons with my daughter yesterday and have to admit the Fairly Oddparents episode “Christmas Every Day” was pretty cool.
This show, which features a kid and his fairy godparents, usually has some cool wishes go bad. But, who knew having Christmas Day every day would be one …
Seven days Season 3 Episode, Deloris Demands

The X-File Excelsis Dei
This is the 35th episode from the popular 90s American television show “The X-Files”. I don’t remember watching this one when I was little, or on the SciFi cable television channel, however, I did watch it a few months ago online. For some reason I did not find this …

Midsomer Murders: A British TV Series

Family Guy: No Chris Left Behind
Last night was an OK Family Guy episode “No Chris Left Behind” but, it also wasn’t one of the better episodes in the series.
This one has Lois and Brian discovering Chris has been forced to learn from history text books written in 1948. During Lois’ protest to the school …
Numb3rs TV show
I really enjoy this show - I like the idea of using statistics and other forms of math to solve major crimes, and actually have a friend of mine who works in crime profiling, which I think is pretty cool.
The relationship between the characters is that Don Epps, an …
Criminal Minds: Roadkill
Criminal Minds is a complex show. It’s one you can’t easily multi-task through. It requires you to be present as the case develops; that is, unless you just want to go from the crime to the bad guy and don’t care about how it came about. …
Globe trekker
I have been watching Globe Trekker for past many year. Earlier it was called as lonely planet now it was change as Globe Trekker. This is very good traveling show which shows a new location in each of its episode. It is telecasted on weekdays on discovery channel what …
