Wallander Series 2 Episode 2 The Man Who Smiled
Kurt Wallander (played by a very rough looking Kenneth Branagh) is staring out to sea on a deserted beach, tormented by the fact that he killed a man in the line of duty. He is approached by an old friend who has tracked him down to help as …
Simpsons - Elementary School Musical
As Seasons of the Simpsons go, Season 22 has been not even hit and miss episodes. They have just been disappointing episodes with very few humor points involved in them. And this episode was no different than the others. It was …
Gilmore Girls - A year in the life
Gilmore Girls- A year in the life is a treat for the huge fanbase of Gilmore girls who were sad after the show ended after 7 seasons of love received by the viewers. Gilmore girls focuses on a single mother and her daughter who live in a small town as …
MASH-Season 4
This was an interesting season. First, you have two major characters getting replaced (Col. Potter replaces Henry Blake, who was killed in Season 3 and B. J. Hunnicut replaces Trapper John, who was shipped home).
In addition, you have one of the worst episodes ever. It consisted of Hawkeye (who …
Destination Truth TV Episode: Spirits of Easter Island
Well, last night was the season finale of Destination Truth; Spirits of Easter Island. And, upon reflecting on it a bit, I have to say it was actually a bit of a disappointment for me.
Seeing Easter Island and all those giant heads was pretty cool. But, the investigation really …
Smallville Season 7 episode 8
This episode of Smallville was a little weird. Basically Clark takes Kara’s crystal, sticks it in the fortress of solitude and lo and behold we have Lara, Clark’s biological mother and Zor El his evil uncle. Well replicas of them anyway.
While it was cool to see Clark’s …
Pushing Dasies
I randomly caught myself watching the show Pushing Daisies after flipping the channels to find something to entertain myself. It immediately caught my attention because of how different it was than the other prime-time shows on television currently. Not only was the time period the setting was placed in …
TV show Friends
I have to start with the fact that I don’t even own a TV. As it happens my husband early in his life decided it was a menace to his freedom of thought and time. So when we moved in together we simply agreed we wouldn’t own one. However …
What Not to Wear (Television Show)
I admit that I am not a big fan of any reality show, and I rarely watch any of the shows on the Women’s Network or Slice in my area, which includes programs such as wedding, weight loss, parenting and fashion reality shows. I am not ashamed to admit, …
Trigun Episode 18
Triggun Episode 18 begins with a flashback over 100 years before the first episode, Vash confronts his twin brother Knives after he murdered Rem’s last relative in July City. They fight and Knives activates Vash’s Angel Arm, which destroys July and puts the $$60,000,000,000 reward on his head. …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Left-Handed Man TV Show
From 1965, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Left-Handed Man was a second year show, the sixth of the season actually. The series starred Richard Basehart as Admiral Nelson and David Hedison, my favorite, as Captain Crane.
Following are a handful of observations about this show:
–This stands …
Anime - High School Of The Dead Season 1
High School of the Dead is about a group of teenagers trying to survive a sudden zombie apocolypse. The show is directed by Tetsuro (Death Note, Black Lagoon) and is based on the hit manga series by Daisuke Sato. The show has yet to be dubbed and brought over …
Jaws: The Inside Story TV Show
In 2010, the History Channel presented Jaws: The Inside Story, which is a great look at the making of Jaws, the 1975 movie hit. There are a wealth of new interviews and ones from the past that work together to present a really unique view of this film …
The Wendy Williams Television Talk Show
In a time when everyone from D-list celebrities to former supermodels has their own television talk shows, I find “The Wendy Williams Show” to be extremely refreshing. Every aspect of the show is fabulous- from its larger than life host Wendy Williams to the outrageous and super flamboyant …
Project Runway reality show
The best reality television show is hosted by a super model. No,not Tyra Banks, although, America’s Next Top Model is right up there with the best. I am talking about Heid Klum. She hosts “Project Runway.”
It is a show about clothing designers that is broadcasted on the …
The Jeffersons - Florence’s Problem
The Jeffersons didn’t touch on serious subjects too often like the series it was spin-off from, namely All in the Family, but in the case of this episode, “Florence’s Problem”, it did try to explore a situation that wasn’t entirely comedy-themed, although the writers still manage to give characters …
Project Runway Season Five Episode 5
Season Five Episode 5
Welcome to the Jungle
Brooke Shields Guest Judge
In this episode, Heidi tells the designers their next challenge is to create a look for a high powered woman and to meet Tim in the work room for more details.
When the designers head back to the work room …
Sonic the Hedgehog
Is it any wonder why this show has lasted so long? During the early and mid nineties, there were actually two cartoon shows based off of Sonic the Hedgehog, who, around that time, had just had his second hit game on the SEGA genesis system. One was okay, but …
The Andy Griffith Show: My Fair Ernest T. Bass TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: My Fair Ernest T. Bass brings back the character of the rock throwing mountain man, Ernest T. Bass played so brilliantly by Howard Morris. When last scene, Ernest T. wanted a uniform. Apparently, things didn’t go well. Now he is back, and …
The Night Before Christmas
This animated tale, The Night Before Christmas, is not to be confused with the traditional Father Mouse story of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas. This is another tale that is more current, in the computer age, in fact, though it does still include a mouse family, only these …
Late Night with Jimmy Fallon
The first few times we watched this show we didn’t think it would be very good. It was when he had first started, a few months ago, and he seemed very nervous, making it sort of uncomfortable to watch. However, as time went on he became more confident and …
Voyagers!: Destiny’s Choice
Jon-Erik Hexum and Meeno Peluce star in Voyagers!: Destiny’s Choice wherein their characters of Phineas Bogg and Jeffrey Jones have to convince Franklin Delano Roosevelt to continue with his political dreams.
Much of the story in Destiny’s Choice was, of course, strength of character in the face of adversity. …
M*A*S*H: Sticky Wicket
In M*A*S*H: Sticky Wicket, Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) has a hard time dealing with a patient he operated on who isn’t responding. Most think he made a mistake, and he mopes around because of his own self-doubts. Actually, the most endearing part of this episode is when …
Enlightened TV Show
Enlightened is a wonderful new show that I have discovered lately. It is like nothing I have ever seen before on TV. The show tells the story of a woman who is trying to come back to work in a corporate environment after a nervous breakdown. After coming back …
Law & Order SVU TV Episode: Totem
Synopsis: Benson and Stabler receive help from sex therapist Cap Jackson (Jeremy Irons) when a little girl’s body is found brutally murdered and stuffed inside a suitcase and the police begin to suspect a female rapist/killer.
What I like about this episode: I know he’s a guest star and was …
Naruto Episode 2 Subbed
The second episode of Naruto is a far cry from the first, but it still seems to draw the viewer into the show. Taking a pure comedic, and slightly adult-oriented, standpoint on the show, this episode follows Naruto’s first day as a ninja where he uses the ‘Sexy Technique’, …
The Prisoner: The Arrival
In the early moments of the first episode of The Prisoner television series, I have eerie glimpses of Farenheit 451 and Logan’s Run. I believe this 1967 series predates both of those movies, but it’s just odd seeing some of those things that make me think of the …
Jennifer Hudson: Christmas
Jennifer Hudson: Christmas was this American Idol alum’s first TV special. I liked it, somewhat, but was also disappointed. Hudson has one dynamo voice. It’s full of power, but I felt like she tried to jazz everything up too much, or to put that whole black …
Married with Children TV Episode: Married—¦.with Children
When I was younger, I used to watch the show Married with Children; mostly because it came on after the Simpsons. But, after a while, I did stop watching it. Recently, however, I have found it in re-runs on the weekend and have gotten hooked again.
I discovered yesterday that …
Spongebob Squarepants TV Episode: New Fish in Town
Synopsis: A new neighbor moves by Spongebob, Patrick and Squidward and, realizing the neighbor is as stuffy as he is, Squidward attempts to keep the new neighbor to himself and convince him to remain in the neighborhood.
What I liked about this episode: Spongebob and Patrick really don’t have a …
The Andy Griffith Show: Back to Nature TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Back to Nature is an entertaining fourth season episode that showcases Barney’s bigger than life ego. Wonderful Barney always thinks he’s better than he is. In this case, he envisions himself as a master Boy Scout, an outdoorsman who can survive anything. …
CHiPs: Baby Food
One of the fun things about the Baby Food episode of CHiPs is that we can extrapolate what the show might have been had Erik Estrada won the role of Frak Poncherello. This is because Joe Nicassio guest stars as a young man, sort of hippie-ish, who is …
Highway Patrol: Taxi TV Show
Highway Patrol: Taxi has comedian Joe Flynn playing a vicious robber and killer. I’m so used to seeing Flynn as a funny man that this is almost shocking to me. I don’t believe in all these decades that I have seen him play this kind of character. …
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 2.1: Samson and Delilah
Season 2 opens with a megabang and doesn’t let up until the final closing minutes. Picking up right after “What He Beheld”, the Season 1 finale, “Samson and Delilah” takes a page from “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines” with the good robot unintentionally gone bad. Sarkissian’s men attack …
Man vs. Wild show
This show named “Man vs. Wild” is one of my favourite shows on Discovery channel. It is the most important show, which we should follow. This show is starring by Bear Grylls. In this show they show us some wild destinations, and they teach us that if we get …
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 …
Californication (Showtime TV series)
I have to admit that I wasn’t sure about whether I would like this little show. Other cable series have shown that shock value is all the rage. Programs like “The Carnivale”, “Six Feet Under”, “Weeds,” and even “Sex and the City” have groomed the viewer …
CSI Season 8, Episode 3
This was a pretty good episode of CSI and one that I didn’t see when it originally aired on television because it was after I stopped watching the show. Sarah heads to another shift where she discovers the dead body of a homeless man and the rest of the …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Wager
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Wager is a second season episode from this half-hour series that starred Richard Boone as the gunfighter, Paladin. Though the performers are very good, I actually didn’t enjoy this episode very much, and there’s one big reason for that. Overacting.
Boone is …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Puppeteer TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Puppeteer was a bit of a strange outing for this western. Then again, it’s not the first time that Have Gun - Will Travel has done strange.
There is actually something weird about a show that continues to do some odd parodies. …
Detective Conan (Case Closed)
When I first saw the description of Detective Conan, a kid who solved cases, I wasn’t too keen on watching it. But then I thought that I might as well check it out. When I finally saw it, I realized that it was a High Schooler who turned into …
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 …
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 59 (Anime)
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 59 has Roy Mustang refusing to perform human transmutation and Pride and Wrath forcing him to open the gateway. He is taken to where Ed, Al, Izumi and Hohenheim are and learns a terrible truth.
This episode was very exciting and the twists and turns …
The Defenders: Nevada vs. Rodgers TV Show
Nevada vs. Rodgers was the latest hour of the new decent drama and disappointing comedy show, The Defenders. The good part for me is that they more or less left the comedy behind this week, and that was delightful. I’ve said from the beginning that this version …
The Fall Guy: Three for the Road TV Show
The Fall Guy: Three for the Road did have its moments, and most of those included recurring guest star, Judith Chapman. She’s a terrific actress, no matter what role she takes on. Her Kay Faulkner actually annoys me off and on, but she’s well done and very …
Ghost Hunters Season 1
OK, my wife and I just finished watching the last two episodes of the first season of the show Ghost Hunters. Rather than reviewing those, I figured I would take a minute to recap what I thought of the entire season. And, unfortunately, the answer to that is “not …
America’s Got Talent: Semi-Finals Results Part 2 TV Show
I really haven’t enjoyed this season of America’s Got Talent. The talent has been decent, but I’ve so often disagreed with the judges. It’s a bit disheartening to see some of the insanity that goes on with the judging. I have no problem with America’s votes …
