Supergirl TV show episode 9: Blood Bonds
The episode picked up where last episode “Hostile Take Over” ended which Non (Astra’s husband) attacked Maxwell Lord’s company. The SFX were great in some places and in some areas not such as the jarring flight effect the production seemed to employ. It could be because there were only so …
Stargate SG1: Beast of Burden
When Chaka is grabbed by a bunch of hunters, Daniel blames himself. Seems he had been videotaping the planet and had left an energy bar for Chaka. Because Chaka went for the energy bar, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time and Daniel feels …
CSI Season 6 Episode 1- Bodies in Motion
I found this episode to be average or even below average. It was great acting and was shown in an interesting way, but at the same time, as more and more of the episodes turn up to be- the ending was really disappointing. I find it annoying, when …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Five Books of Owen Deaver
From season one, Have Gun - Will Travel: The Five Books of Owen Deaver, Richard Boone’s Paladin heads to a frontier town called Three Winds to help out a dead friend’s son. The son is trying to bring Philadelphia law to the town, and it’s a recipe for …
Doctor Who: Season 4, Episode 13: The Stolen Earth
Wow, just wow. That’s all that can be said after watching this episode. Doctor Who finales tend to be larger in scale, but this completely blew everything else out of the water by a long shot, a looong shot. Just when you think that the show …
The Fall Guy: Goin’ for It TV Show
The Fall Guy: Goin’ for It gives us a different type of opening for the adventure drama, and that’s probably a good thing. Changing up a format occasionally keeps viewers on the edge, not certain what to expect. Not only did they change what was usual, but …
Adam 12 - Log 161
This is a fairly entertaining episode of Adam-12 that begins with the boys chatting as they drive along one of Los Angele’s freeways. The topic is dinner at the Reeds, where Pete had brought along his date, Donna. Donna is obsessed about how wonderful Jim and his wife …
Joyful Hour
Joyful Hour is a show I ran across while surfing the dial one night, looking for something to watch. I found it on one of the religious channels that I’ve been checking out lately but haven’t really watched in the past. These channels are proving to be …
Medium Season 4 Episode 3- To Have and to Hold
Medium Season 4 Episode 3- To Have and to Hold
This time they have manages to write a really freaky episode. Not that it was stranger than usual, is that the creepy guy in the episode went all the way to create that fantasy that creeped me out. But then …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Wax Men TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Wax Men was the 24th episode of the third season. The story has the Seaview doing a favor for the State Department by transporting wax figures that are supposedly from the infamous Atlantis, only that’s not exactly the case. …
The Virginian: Hideout TV Show
The Virginian: Hideout puts Roberta Shore and her Betsy Garth character in the center of the action by having Betsy happen upon a father and his adult son living in a canyon. There’s more to their presence than is originally thought.
I actually enjoy this episode quite a bit. …
Iron Chef TV show
The Japanese show “The Iron Chef” has become so widely popular that it has even spawned an American version that has contributed greatly to the Food Network’s success. I won’t dwell on the American version, but rather on the original dubbed over Japanese version of the show, which …
Simpsons TV Episode: Skinner’s Sense of Snow
I had the Simpsons on yesterday afternoon and, for a change, the channel wasn’t showing a repeat that I had seen several dozen times before. Instead, they had a newer episode (at least for me) called Skinner’s Sense of Snow.
This episode was a bit bizarre at times and I …
Batman: The Brave and the Bold: When OMAC attacks!
The cold open features Batman teaming up with Hawk and Dove to settle an interplanetary war. The two heroes, of course, butt heads over which way is more effective. Hawk wants to fight while Dove wants to talk. Batman eventually comes in and comes up with …
Smallville: Toxic
“Toxic” is the third episode of the eight season of Smallville. I really enjoyed this episode because it provided the audience with the background of the Green Arrow, who has grown to become one of the more interesting characters on the show. The flashback also illustrated his …
Special Victims Unit: Lead
I only caught bits and pieces of last night’s Law & Order SVU episode “Lead” but I got to see enough of it to be glad I didn’t sit down through the whole thing.
Yes, they brought back former ADA Alex Cabott back for the episode (and hopefully for good) …
House TV Episode: Massage Therapy
Synopsis: House and his team have to diagnose a woman who is brought in with severe vomiting; something that is more difficult than expected because the patient has a tendency to lie about her past.
What I liked about this episode: The case itself was actually pretty interesting. The woman …
What’s New Scooby Doo TV Episode: Farmed and Dangerous
I was up kind of early yesterday morning because our youngest daughter didn’t want to sleep. So, I ended up flipping channels and, since there wasn’t anything else on at the time, I ended up watching an episode of What’s New Scooby Doo with her; Farmed and Dangerous.
I think …
Psych TV Episode: There’s Something About Mira
My wife wanted to watch Project Runway at 8 but I had the TV last night until then and decided to watch a re-run of Psych I had recorded on our DVR called There’s Something about Mira.
I think I have seen this episode in the past but didn’t remember …
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 Big C (tv series)
“The Big C” was one of those few television series that I was fortunate enough to start watching when it first premiered on television back when I still had Showtime. It was a bit unusual in comparison to the television series I would tend to watch especially at that …
Stargate SG1: 2001 Season 5, Episode 10
While SG1 is visiting a planet, the Voliaans introduce them to a neighboring race, the Aschen. Little do they know that the Aschen are the very same people their future selves had warned them about.
When SG1 arrives back at the SGC and tells General Hammond the good news, …
Burn Notice: Bad Breaks
Burn Notice: Bad Breaks is a so-so episode in my book. It’s not one that really zings my interest button, but there is some decent acting and a somewhat interesting plot. It might be more fun for regular fans of the show, people who watched it during …
M.A.N
This has grown to be one of my favorite shows on local TV and I loved it before it was even first aired formerly on national television. I loved the concept when it was discussed on a local talk show, “3 Talk With Noeleen” and was always looking forward …
Fireball XL5: Flight to Danger
What we get during Fireball XL5: Flight to Danger are sweaty puppets and that’s a first for me. It’s these little things that make this show so much fun. You know they are puppets and even with the one-look facial features, you can still see and feel various …
ABS-CBN: My Girl
MY girl Korean version is really one of my favorite Korean Dramas! That Korean drama introduced me to Lee Jun Ki, on of the lead actors of the show, and he is, to this day my favorite Korean star. My girl’s story is light, moving at times and really …
The Virginian: The Judgment
The Virginian: The Judgment is a flashback tale, told by Judge Henry Garth (Lee J. Cobb) to his daughter, Betsy (Roberta Shore), about something that happened ten years earlier. As a result, the show is Cobb-centric. Outside of Shore’s short bits in the opening and the ending, …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Utterly Perfect Murder TV Show
Airing in February 1992, The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Utterly Perfect Murder was oddly intriguing and even compelling, which disturbs me a little. The show’s main star was Richard Kiley, who normally isn’t someone who captures my interest. That said, I have to admit that there was …
FOX Channel
FOX is one the channels we see the most at our house.
The truth is that with the filth that is television today, getting a package that incorporates new pay channels including the Fox channel is a good start.
The scheduling of this television chain for series is one or two …
Mythbusters TV show
Mythbusters is an entertaining educational program airing on the Discovery Channel. In each episode, a team of “mythbusters” tests the feasibility of various myths and urban legends. For example, past episodes have tested whether a tissue box in the back window of a car can injure the …
Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer: 9-17-10 TV Show
Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer from September 17, 2010 was another disastrous TV show. There is just so little of interest in this hour.
First of all, there is a crazy bit about changing their seating sides because of Alexis’ hair. That woman is so shallow. I’ve …
The Amazing Race - 3/22/09
The Amazing Race took the teams to India once again. Watching the reactions to this country is always emotional. In particular, it was Luke who had the most dramatic and emotional reaction. It’s hard seeing kids eating garbage and running around naked. His tears were …
Top Chef: Washington D.C.: Reunion Special TV Show
Top Chef: Washington D.C.: Reunion Special was frustrating in that once again they don’t tell us who the fan favorite was, saving it for that lame What it Live show, or whatever it is. I feel like that is TV show blackmail, and I refuse to watch.
For this …
M*A*S*H: The M*A*S*H Olympics
In M*A*S*H: The M*A*S*H Olympics, Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) decides that his personnel are too out of shape and decides to institute an Olympics. This coincides with the Helsinki Olympics that were going on at the same time as the events of this episode.
The unit divides into …
That Girl: A Tenor’s Loving Care
Carroll O’Connor guest stars in That Girl: A Tenor’s Loving Care as a blustery and arrogant tenor who Don Hollinger (Ted Bessell) is supposed to interview, or at least try to interview. When Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) goes with him, Giuseppe Casanetti, the tenor, says he’ll only to …
Scrubs show
I am not someone who is easily amused or even laughs out loud daily, but a couple years ago I began watching a show called Scrubs and immediately became hooked. And this is putting it lightly. After downloading the 5 seasons that had come …
That Girl: The Defiant One
While shopping, Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) befriends an eight-year-old black boy named David (George Spell) who steals a candy bar. Though the boy initially tells her he lives on Park Avenue, Ann scoffs at it, so he invents a story about living in a one-bedroom apartment filled with …
Seven days Season 2 Episode 9
There’s really nothing more annoying than when in a show they invent a country in Europe and of course that country has a princess who is in distress and the show protagonist saves the day and the princess, of course, saving that way the whole country, which never existed …
Mr. Monk and the Foreign Man
I tuned into the latest Monk episode Friday expecting to find him working on a case that would bring him closer to solving Trudy’s murder. Instead, I was disappointed to learn that wouldn’t be the case.
However, the episode was definitely interesting.
You have two cases going on. One involves the …
Red Dwarf: Balance of Power
In the third episode of Red Dwarf, we discover that, as always, David Lister (Craig Charles) and his bunkmate, hologram Arnold Rimmer (Chris Barrie) are still drifting through space in the Red Dwarf mining ship. They also have a problem: They are still fighting like cats and dogs. Though …
Stargate SG-1: Hathor
Stargate SG-1: Hathor in season 1 of the series is one that I actually like in some ways and one that is disturbing in other ways.
In this episode, the Goa’uld Hathor takes control of our very strong SG-1, and most other males at the SGC. Because the men …
Sea Hunt: The Amphibian TV Show
Sea Hunt: The Amphibian focuses on Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) taking charge of a group as they had an underwater picnic of sorts. He’s more or less being a lifeguard in the ocean. Of note to me were the following thoughts:
–William Boyett of Adam-12 fame played the part …
Due South: The Wild Bunch
My dogs give Due South: The Wild Bunch eight paws up. They were fascinated by it, especially my oldest dog. She was up by the TV screen for most of the hour. She loves to watch Diefenbacker, the wolf dog, and Dief was the star of …
Jonestown Cult Documentary
Jonestown Cult is a disturbing documentary, released in 2009, concerning the mass suicide of over 900 members in 1978, at the urging of its charismatic leader, Jim Jones. It was interesting because a picture was painted of how the situation could get that bad without people questioning the …
Stargate SG1: The Curse
Jack is reading a magazine when Daniel walks in and after looking at it, takes it away from him. Seems Daniel’s mentor and professor has died. This episode revolves around Daniel going back to his old stomping grounds and meeting up with two old colleagues of his, …
Mork & Mindy: Mork goes Erk
Well, that was an episode of Mork & Mindy I haven’t seen before. Mork Goes Erk is a great episode and one I would recommend watching if you’ve never seen the show before.
The great thing about this episode is it creates the possibility of Mork and Mindy having to …
Highway Patrol: Killer on the Run TV Show
Highway Patrol aired for four seasons back in the early days of television. It’s a rather iconic series for those who love police shows. This episode was the 29th one to air in 1959 and is called Killer on the Run.
The plot follows a man named Les …
