Bones: Tough Man in the Tender Chicken
Well, that was a somewhat interesting Bones episode.
You have the heir to a chicken company winding up dead and tons of possible suspects in the murder ranging from the protesters outside the factory (because they built their homes by it then complained about the smell) to the guy’s wife, …

Fireball XL5: Space Vacation
Fireball XL5: Space Vacation had me chuckling at one of the opening scenes. When we first see the aliens, I thought one was the wife of the other. These guys were long robes, though they really looked like dresses and something about the hair just made me …
Centennial: The Scream of Eagles
Skipping ahead to modern day, the majestic and inspiring mini-series, Centennial, concludes with this episode called The Scream of Eagles. It’s a wonderful wrap up that reviews how the land was loved and nurtured by the Native American Indians and just how the white man has done just …
The Office: Frame Toby
“Frame Toby” is the Office episode originally airing on November 20, 2008. This was an unusually weak episode, with few laugh-out-loud moments and central characters acting in very odd ways.
My biggest complaint was the way Michael acted throughout the episode. We all understand that he hates Toby, …
Due South: Chicago Holiday: Part 2
Like the beginning of this tale, Due South: Chicago Holiday: Part 2 has about enough dialog in it to fill a half-hour show, if that. It relies heavily on music and the visual aspect of following a matchbook all across the town. The matchbook has a list …

Happy Days TV Episode: Who Gives a Hootenanny
My wife was hogging the computer this morning so, rather than being able to place an update on Facebook, I was on the couch watching early morning re-runs while having breakfast. One of the episodes was a Happy Days re-run called Who Gives a Hootenanny.
This is a later episode …
M*A*S*H: Sometimes You Hear the Bullet
M*A*S*H: Sometimes You Hear the Bullet is a masterpiece edition of this show in my opinion. I clearly recall watching this show the first time it aired. In fact, I taped it on a cassette recorder when it was rerun because I thought it was just that …

Speeders (TruTV)
I wish I could say that I really like this show. But because it’s called “Speeders” you know that no one is going to get arrested (not really.) There will be no high speed chases, lots of cursing, no blood—”or any sort of real drama. …
Sanctuary: Next Tuesday
Amanda Tapping first came to my attention as Sam Carter in Stargate SG-1. After ten seasons and two movies, she has moved on to this new science fiction series, Sanctuary. Actually, this show began on the internet with webisodes while SG-1 was still in production. The …
Kuya
I use to watch Jerry Springer show that’s why this morning show captured my attention. The program is entitled Good Morning Kuya and the format - just the format, not the content - is somehow parallel. The first scene that I was able to see was the host, …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Death from the Past TV Show
We’re still in 1980, October 3rd to be specific, when Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Death from the Past rolls around. The show began with a teaser that included World War II action in 1945 and an underwater lab of sorts which is being attacked. …
Write & Wrong TV movie

Cowboy Bebop Episode 21 (Anime)

This episode was very well done and it’s very unique and it was a lot of fun to watch. It’s not every day you get to see a shootout in …

Oprah is a great show. I really enjoy watching this show because I learn a lot. Oprah has some very interesting guests on the show that really do teach people many secrets. I really enjoy watching the show because it does really educated you about many things your doctor does …
Nurse Jackie Season 2 Episode 1 “Comfort Food”
Nurse Jackie season one was a great tv show with a premise different from other shows. It is about a nurse who abuses prescription drugs and has an affair with a co worker who is unaware she is married. Nurse Jackie lives a different life at …

A very successful spin off the original show CSI- Crime Scene Investigation. Unlike its older brother, which follows the lives of the crime scene investigation team in Las Vegas, this one is set in New York. The setting and the context are different and adapted to a different atmosphere, …
Law & Order SVU: Swing
I have to wonder just how messed up Elliott Stabler’s family is. Last week, on Law & Order SVU, his youngest daughter was seen on an Internet porn site. This week on the episode “Swing” his oldest daughter is caught breaking into another person’s home to take a shower …
The Virginian: The Devil’s Children
When I first watched The Virginian: The Devil’s Children, I kept thinking this wicked stepchild, aka: the villainous of the piece, looked darn familiar, but I couldn’t figure it out. Then I looked up the credits and realized it was Joan Freeman, guest starring as a bratty girl …
M*A*S*H: Fallen Idol
M*A*S*H: Fallen Idol is an awesome, incredible episode, and that shouldn’t be a surprise since it was written and directed by Alan Alda.
There is a problem with the setup, though. Not all that long ago, there was a beautiful moment between Hawkeye Pierce (Alda) and Radar O’Reilly (Gary …
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig: Episode 16
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig Episode 16 has Ishikawa returning from the Peninsula to give Section 9 news regarding Kuze’s origins.

The X-Files The Calusari Episode
I remember watching this episode of the popular nineteen nineties American television series a couple years ago but being unable to finish watching the episode because I was too busy. However, I watched it again recently and remembered that one of the things I liked about the episode was …
Siapa Tak Sayang Bini - Who does not love their wives
I watched a drama on my local channel the other day, Siapa Tak Sayang Bini - Who does not love their wives and it was so darn funny and super awesome. I was watching it with my whole family and we were laughing like mad.
Basically, the synopsis of …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Doppelgangland
I always wondered how Willow can be such a reliable person and a doormat without going insane on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. So, it was good to see an episode that featured her in Doppelgangland.
This ended up being a good episode for a number of reasons. You have Willow …
Naruto Episode 26 Subbed
This is the first episode of Naruto that is completely pointless, obnoxious, and downright nauseating. In my many rewatches of the show I always skip this episode. Instead of continuing the story this episode has Konohamaru and his two friends show up at the location of the second exam …
Law & Order SVU TV Episode: Mask
Synopsis: Elliott (Christopher Meloni) goes undercover at a rehab clinic for sex addicts after a serial rapist known for wearing a distinctive mask attacks the daughter of the therapist that is running the group therapy.

M*A*S*H: Say No More focuses on a wounded soldier at the 4077th. This brings the soldier’s father to the camp. General Addison Collins, played John Anderson, is gung-ho military. He’s everything that Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) detests, and one thing Hawkeye can’t stand is watching General …

So You Think You Can Dance: Finale Part 1 TV Show
It was a great finale night for So You Think You Can Dance. This was the last performance show of the season for the final three dancers: Kent, Lauren, and Robert. All three are so solid, and I have to agree with producer and judge, Nigel Lythgoe, …
Toshiba 32C100U 32 inch TV
I purchased the Toshiba 32C100U TV over a month ago and although I love this TV I have had some small issues with it. The Toshiba 32C100U is a flat panel 32 inch TV. I paid 350 dollars for this TV and it was one of the …
The Andy Griffith Show: Aunt Bee’s Medicine Man TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Aunt Bee’s Medicine Man, from March 1963, begins with a funny bit in which no lines are spoken. It’s all Don Knotts as Barney Fife trying to spruce himself up to look like Rock Hudson. His guide is a large magazine photo of …

New Girl ,’A Chill Day in’, TV show
As I wrote my review of the episode Road Trip I really feel the need to write my review of episode ‘A chill day in’. These two episodes are a long way from the episodes we got used to watching in these last two seasons which are sometimes good but …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Haunted Submarine TV Show
The 11th episode of its third season on the air, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Haunted Submarine, gives us another same-o, same-o, which I really don’t like. By this I mean that yet again, Richard Basehart plays two roles. He’s Admiral Harriman Nelson as …
Highway Patrol: Confession TV Show
From 1959, Confession was the 36th episode to air in the final season, its fourth, of the police drama, Highway Patrol. This half hour series starred Broderick Crawford as Chief Dan Mathews and William Boyett as his number one helper of sorts, Sergeant Ken Williams. For me, …
M*A*S*H: C*A*V*E
M*A*S*H: C*A*V*E from season seven gives us new information about our chief surgeon. It seems Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) is claustrophobic. I’m not quite sure how we’ve missed this in all of these seasons, considering the various buildings and situations Hawkeye has been in, but apparently we …
M*A*S*H: War of Nerves
M*A*S*H: War of Nerves focuses on the troops of the 4077th just getting plain tired and sick of the war. They’re on the edge, frustrated, miserable, lonely, irritable, and all kinds of adjectives that scream they want out. Everyone is driving one another batty, and there just …
Sea Hunt: Rapture of the Deep TV Show
Sea Hunt: Rapture of the Deep is a little different than some other shows. Skin diving expert Mike Nelson, played well by Lloyd Bridges, begins his usual opening narration by saying that the job he was about to take was his most dangerous assignment yet. What I …
Bones TV Episode: The Woman in the Sand
There wasn’t much on TV this past weekend and my wife and I were too tired out to watch an actual movie so we decided to watch re-runs of Bones instead; starting with one that we had never seen before, The Woman in the Sand.
This episode, overall, proved to …
CHiPs: Pilot
The pilot for CHiPs aired on September 15, 1977 and introduced the world to the lives of two California Highway Patrol officers, Jon Baker and Frank Poncherello, played by Larry Wilcox and Erik Estrada. On the surface, they were different as night and day, but they were partners …
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 …
