Tru Calling — The Pilot
Fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer such as myself were delighted to hear Faith/Eliza Dushku would be continuing to act in the supernatural genre of television. She had turned down her own spin off from Buffy just to do Tru Calling. The Pilot is where us fans were holding …
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 …
Ghost Hunters: Ghostly Bounty Hunter
I finally got to watch Ghost Hunters after having to wait a couple of hours for it to come on the air. I wanted to see the new one but did watch the two re-runs leading up to it too.
This one, “Ghostly Bounty Hunter” was somewhat interesting.
The first case …

Drawn Together Cartoon

The Amazing Race: S17, Ep 4 TV Show
What I loved about this fourth episode of The Amazing Race’s 17th season is that it showed the teams giving back a little by helping to renovate an elementary school. Survivor started giving back years ago, so why it’s taken The Amazing Race so long to realize that …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Alice TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Alice, a season five episode, starred, as always, Richard Boone as the gunfighter for hire, Paladin. In this show, he does a stunt that makes my heart sad and that’s because they most likely used a trip wire to fall a horse that …
Judge Mathis Television Show
I am a huge fan of the Judge Mathis Television Show. In a genre where the majority of television judges attempt to be too strict and harsh, Judge Mathis is able to maintain a feeling in his courtroom of humor and accountability. It does not matter what …
Biggest Loser - December 9th 2008
I watched this episode less than 24 hours ago (I taped it) and it’s like a big blur thinking back on it. Nothing really stood out to me. It was the typical last show before the finale. The winner of the week’s competition received catered food, …
Trick My Truck TV show
You may have heard of MTV’s Pimp My Ride, but have you ever seen CMT’s version: Trick My Truck? I watched this show last night on CMT and was amazed. Trick My Truck is a show where people nominate their parent or friend who drives a big rig …
CSI Miami
CSI Miami is a spinoff of the very successful TV Show SCI- Crime Scene Investigation set up in the hot and sexy Miami. The different location dictates some major differences in the content. To begin with- the cast is selected to reflect the ethnic diversity much better. Unfortunately the …

In The Virginian: The Man from the Sea, Shirley Knight and Carol Lynley play twin sisters, Susan and Judith Morrow, respectively, who are visiting with Judge Henry Garth. Knight and Lynley aren’t related, but they way they were made up, they really did look like twins. Bravo …

Monster Quest
I usually enjoy shows about mythical creatures. But, History Channel’s show, Monster Quest is one I can’t even sit through ten minutes of.
Overall, the show does a good job describing creatures like Big Foot and the Loc Ness Monster. However, rather than focus on the historical stories and leave …
American Idol 2009 - The Top 13
American Idol kicked off their top 13, and 13 was a first for the hit reality series. This year is the first time the top 12 grew by one to be 13, though after Anoop, the singer responsible for the addition had judge Simon Cowell saying that after …

That Girl: Help Wanted
Help Wanted is one episode of That Girl that I have always remembered. It reminds me of one of my favorite episodes of The Dick Van Dyke Show when Laura fills in for Sally to help Rob, but Rob gets all out of sorts about the situation. …
Bones: Intern in the Incinerator
I got home from work yesterday and was watching a repeat of the show Bones on television “Intern in the Incinerator” and have to say this is a pretty impressive episode.
Basically, they find a dead body in the incinerator at the Jeffersonian (which was really gross by the way; …

Have Gun - Will Travel: A Proof of Love TV Show
The fifth show of the fifth season of Have Gun - Will Travel, A Proof of Love, has Charles Bronson in a nice guy role. In fact, he’s a mama’s boy. Bronson has been in several outings of this western series, and some I’ve liked better than …
Stargate SG-1: Spirits
Love it, love it, love it! That’s how I describe my feelings towards Stargate SG-1: Spirits. This second season episode doesn’t get a lot of acclaim, but it’s been a hit with me from the first time I saw it.
The opening scene catches us off guard with …
Mork & Mindy: A Mommy for Morky
There isn’t much on TV today so I found myself watching re-runs of Mork & Mindy most of the morning. It’s been a while since I’ve seen the show but the episode “A Mommy for Morky,” reminded me of everything that I missed about the series.
I don’t remember Mindy …
Untold Stories of the ER (TLC)
I had never heard of this show until I ran across it one Sunday evening. I was amazed that these ER stories were so graphic. I was also surprised by the light tone that the show seemed to have. With such weird and shocking …
M*A*S*H: Smilin’ Jack
M*A*S*H: Smilin’ Jack is a symbol of the insanity of war in my opinion. It’s also an example of the human condition where we all need to be remembered for something, even if it’s something as ridiculous as a war record. Smilin’ Jack is a helicopter pilot …
South Park - Butters Bottom Girl
While this is one of the few episodes of South Park I can’t play in front of my son, I still think it’s one of the best for it not only has the South Park humor, but tackles the idea of …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 14 - The Assignment
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 14 - The Assignment takes a bit of a tragic turn for my favorite, Lt. Simon Adams (Richard Dean Anderson). There’s some fun moments early on, but then something happens that disturbs him greatly, so much so that he is given a ten-day leave.
Back …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Three Bells to Perdido
Have Gun - Will Travel: Three Bells to Perdido is the first episode of this series and it dates back to 1957. That’s a time when black and white was all that was on the TV screen and back when stereotypes existed. I mention this because this …
Laramie: The Stranger TV Show
I really enjoy the opening of Laramie: The Stranger , a fourth year episode of this superb western series that stars John Smith as Slim Sherman and, my favorite, Robert Fuller as Jess Harper. The two are partners and co-owners of the Sherman Ranch and Relay Station in …
Have Gun - Will Travel TV series
As a young child, I adored watching TV westerns. I definitely had my favorites and still do. No western for me is as great as Laramie, for example. That said, many westerns held my interest and curiosity, including Have Gun - Will Travel, a show that …

Tonight - How to Save a Grand in a Day (ITV)

Experience with Netflix
A few years ago I was looking for a way to cut down my bills and find something cheaper than cable. I wasn’t watching all of those channels and I was paying almost one hundred to two hundred dollars for something that I was not watching all the time. …
Rules of Engagement
I don’t get a lot of time to watch television so I usually don’t get a chance to check out new shows until they’ve been on the air a while.
Last night happened to be one of those nights and I came across the CBS show Rules of Engagement.
While I …
TiVo HD DVR
If you haven’t heard by now that owning a TiVo will change how you watch television, let me say it again.
TiVo will change how you watch television! I know it can be a hard sell when you notice the $13 per month programming charge (which is on top …
M*A*S*H: Too Many Cooks
Season 8 begins with M*A*S*H: Too Many Cooks, guest starring a very young Ed Begley Jr. as Private Paul Conway. Conway is a bit of a klutz, but he’s also a terrific cook. This enthuses the camp tremendously. Unfortunately, the troops can’t convince Colonel Sherman Potter …
Battlestar Galactica: The Oath
Every episode of Battlestar Galactica builds on the last. There have been a few misses of course but in general it feels more like one story than any series I can think of. Even Babylon 5 took breaks occasionally finishing one part and moving onto another, but Battlestar feels …

Spoon on NET 25 Philipine TV hosted by Janice de Belen
I have been viewing SPOON, a show on NET 25 on Philippine Television which is being hosted by Janice de Belen. The show is every Sunday evening and as this is the time for my ironing, I’d iron clothes while enjoying the show.
I like the concept of the show. …
Larry King Live
Even before I got television in the early 2000s I would hear references to a show called “Larry King Live”. However, since I did not have cable at the time and thus did not know what it was about I suspected that it would be sort of like a …
Friends season 1 episode 1
It was a perfect beginning of the season, and also for the series. From this episode the new era has began, and this show ran for 10 years. The episode began showing that all of the friends are in the coffee house better known in the series as the …
That 70s Show: Sheer Heart Attack
I’m not usually a fan of the later That 70s Show episodes (the ones that take place after Eric and Kelso leave the show. Yet, I have to say I absolutely loved the episode entitled Sheer Heart Attack.
I think the reason I liked this one so much is it …
House MD
House MD is a show about a team of doctors that diagnose illnesses that other doctors can’t. This is a great show for a variety of reasons.

True Blood on HBO
I just started watching the hit show True Blood from HBO and so far it has been a fun ride. If blood and really explicit sexual scenes don’t make you squeemish or you enjoy that than this show is for you.
The characters are easy to digest and the story …
