There are …

This week on American Idol, it was iIunes night, in a way. The singers had to perform a tune that was a popular download on iTunes. It could be any genre; it just had to fit whatever the producers definition of ‘popular’ was. Some of the …

I’ve always loved the Law and Order franchise, and SVU or Special Victims Unit in particular. One of their best seasons has to be season 5. I purchased the set on DVD when it was first released, and make it a habit to re-watch the season again at least …

The cold open has Batman flying a plane in World War 2. There’s not really any explanation, but Batman has time traveled before so it’s not too outlandish. He teams up with Enemy Ace to defeat..aliens I guess. I’m not sure, there wasn’t much in the …

The Next Iron Chef continued its hunt with a show called Transformation. All of the episodes this season have had one word themes that are said to focus on the attributes an iron chef must possess, like innovation and resourcefulness. This hour sought to see which chefs …

The Twilight Zone: Twenty Two should have been done in October. It would have made a wonderful Halloween edition for this science fiction series. It’s done a super job of scaring me from the moment it first aired. It has that freaky, spooky feeling to it, …

This show, Wagon Train: The Myra Marshall Story, isn’t a huge favorite, but it’s still a good one. One of the neat things about the episode is that it sets up the viewer to think one thing, when it’s really something else. Back when this show aired …

If you have recently watched the new Sex and The City movie, do not think that the original show on which the movie was based was really as bad. As a matter of fact, I was quite disappointed with the movie. The show itself was really wonderful.
It tells the …

Wild Kingdom, from Mutual of Omaha, is a long-running nature show which is currently appearing on Animal Planet. This show features animals from around the world, and traces their stories as they struggle to survive in the wild. In the episode entitled Return of the Fire Cat, …

Hey, you should be proud of me. A new television series came on TV and, not only did I watch it, I actually got to see the first episode of it (that rarely happens).
But, after watching The Secret Life of the American Teenager on ABC Family, I really find …

I’m not so sure about the cases Dr. House has been getting on the show House lately; they just don’t seem to stand out any more. But, I have to say the episode “Joy” really got me thinking and left me a bit depressed.
We found out last week that …

Normally, after iconic classic episodes, I feel like the following episode suffers from having a high bar to jump. I know, each episode should be viewed on its own, but when watching episodes in blocks like this, it’s a tad unavoidable. This episode managed to subvert that …

I find the opening scene of Twenty-Four Hours at North Fork extremely funny. Just one week after having Paladin so serious about marriage with a lady doctor, we see him back to his playboy self. It’s just hysterical because it opens up almost like a covert ops …

One of my very favourite television shows is Iron Chef America. It is shown on the Food Network (Channel 34 on Cogeco Cable) several times a week, generally in the evenings after 9 p.m.
The premise of the television show is that chefs who are specialists in different areas …

From June 1957, Highway Patrol: Hired Killer was one of the last episodes of the police drama’s second season to air. It was definitely watchable, if only for the curiosity about the title character, the unnamed killer.
Len Hendry played a hired gun who shows up to take down …

The Highway Patrol series really loves to make use of its helicopter, and I’m okay with that. Back when this show aired, having a helicopter assisting with crime cases had to be really exciting. The helicopter is a big part of the focus in this episode called …

The final episode of the second season of Due South was called Flashback, for the simple reason that it reviewed the show’s history. While chasing diamond thieves, Royal Canadian Mounted Police Constable Benton Fraser gets hit by a car and loses his memory. In a bit of …

From its sixth season, Have Gun - Will Travel presented Cage at McNaab. It’s a surprising set up that at first had me suspicious because the events were odd but which also made for a very different show. After five seasons, it’s hard to be unique, so …

Blacke’s Magic: Vanishing Act aired on February 12, 1986, and quite honestly, I’m very prejudiced towards it because I was lucky enough to be on the set a couple of days, including one of the location shoots. I was able to meet the director, Walter Grauman, as well …

Synopsis: A contestant tries to decide which of three men or women he/she wants to date by eliminating two based on some sort of sordid detail they reveal about their lives. The show is on the Game Show Network and is hosted by Jerry Springer.
What I liked about this …

Once again, we have a fantastic episode. Sadly, Donna sits this one out, but that gives more time for the other characters to shine (or not given what happens) as well as putting more focus on the Doctor himself.
Interestingly enough, this trip was meant to be more recreational …

From May 1958, Highway Patrol: The Judge had some good elements to it, along with some really dumb bits. In short, we have an escapee from prison named Baker (Robert Courtleigh), who wants nothing more than revenge against the judge who put him behind bars.
Paul Cavanagh guest stars …

I have to say I don’t like the television series Felicity, it’s kind of a weak show with weak writers and weak characters. For me there is not a lot about this series to like unfortunately.
The overall plot is one I don’t like. I don’t like the …

Although I do watch the show from time to time, I do not necessarily like it. The idea of the show is nice:finding this special one American singer-idol- But the question is: Is it really fair to let people decide and judge. Is it logical to let somebody who …

“The Diet” is an episode of “I Love Lucy”. Like some episodes of “I Love Lucy”, the episode itself is extremely enjoyable, but unfortunately, the writers do something that contradicts either something that happened earlier or later in the series. It kind of takes away some of the realism …

At my house, the television set is usually set on TNT, to watch Law & Order. I am a court advocate, and I enjoy watching the workings of the police and of the court actions, afterwards, on this t.v. drama.
The really nicest part of this series is that you …

As the world spins its unprecedented course, our valiant heros find that unlike their classmates, that they are on a scheduled standby as long as the angel threat exist and are not allowed to join their class trip to Okinawa. This is Neon Genesis Evangelion episode 10 “Magma Diver”, …

Cable television is the best. There is a Sci fi channel that puts on some really interesting series. I like the original Ghost Hunters series, they have spin off of this series called Ghost Hunter International , however I beleive that the original Ghost Hunters was the …

Again, I haven’t watched Frasier in a while until tonight. But, they had back-to-back episodes on tonight so I thought I would take the time to watch the re-run “And the Dish Ran Away with the Spoon.”
I had to piece somethings together on this one because it is part …

I love the first scene of Have Gun - Will Travel: Hey Boy’s Revenge. Paladin (Richard Boone) returns to the Hotel Carlton in San Francisco and discovers some changes have taken place. Among them is a new desk clerk, played perfectly by Olan Soule. It’s quite a …

I have never followed any show that is produced by GMA TV channel 7. I obviously am a follower of the other network - their rival named ABS-CBN; however, the time I had nothing else to watch but the show of Jessica Show, I immediately liked it. The show …

I am not a pageant mom myself. I did enter a couple of pageants myself as a child, but I would never push my children into pageants if they did not want to do them. My kids are pretty much indifferent to pageants at this point so …

That Girl: It’s a Mod, Mod World is the first part of a two-part story, though both parts have the same title. The main plot in this show from the second season is that Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) gets a job as a model for a hotshot British …

In Fireball XL5: The Last of the Zanadus, Colonel Steve Zodiac’s envious apartment is shown here. While Venus’ home is more cozy, his has an air of sophistication to it. Naturally, Venus is cooking the big meal, which is in honor of a friend who has returned …

“Return to Green Acres” is a reunion special that features characters from the 1960s sitcom, “Green Acres”. I love the television show because the humor is so off the wall and the characters are so memorable and distinctive. When I learned
that a reunion special had been made, I eagerly …

The Candlemaker, a cartoon from the golden era from Halas and Batchelor, actually began in a way that really drew my attention. It talked about how things used to be before modern inventions and such. I loved that opening quite a bit. I suppose it seems …

Beast Wars - Coming of the Fuzors, Part 1 picks up almost right where the previous episode left off. In this episode, two stasis pods, both of which were damaged in the crash, produce two new Transformers that are quite unlike any of the previous Transformers to emerge from …

Well, last night’s Project Runway challenge was kind of cool. The designers had to work in teams of two to make an outfit. Their only requirement is it had to be blue and it had to fit Macy’s Inc. line.
The winner would have their outfit sold by Macy’s, which …

Talk about great surprises! I was reluctant to watch this show; there are so many medical shows out there. However, I was greatly surprised when I watched Grey’s Anatomy. The show has fantastic character development on top of the appealing storylines. Grey’s Anatomy sets a …

Beast Wars - Cutting Edge is an episode that has some decent action, but other than that, does not really appeal to me. For one, I do not find Cheetor developing a crush on Blackarachnia or the tension that emerges between Silverbolt and Cheetor as a result to be …
