Justice League Unlimited Season One: The Return
The Return is the seventh episode of Justice League Unlimited, season one. This is pretty good episode featuring dozens of the Justice Leaguers, including many we rarely see, uniting against a threat of unimaginable power. After six episodes focusing on smaller groups of heroes, it was nice to …

MacGyver: Soft Touch
Teri Hatcher makes her second appearance on MacGyver in this episode called Soft Touch. While men may be beguiled by the smiling Penny Parker, she still just frustrates me. She’s a ditz, and I can’t stand how her ineptitude continues to get Mac into all kinds of …
Tenspeed and Brown Shoe: Diamonds Aren’t Forever TV Show
The final episode of Tenspeed and Brown Shoe was called Diamonds Aren’t Forever. It’s really a shame this show didn’t catch on because both Ben Vereen and Jeff Goldblum were amazing to watch. The show was clever and witty, and while there was some ham and camp …
“10 Things I Hate About You” Show
10 Things I hate About You is an American sitcom about the Stratfor sisters, Kat and Bianca. Kat and Bianca have absolutely different personalities. Kat is an intelligent and strong-willed feminist while her little sister Bianca is a girl who will do anything to stand out, be popular and …
Night Court: Santa Goes Downtown
I started watching re-runs of Night Court in the mornings again and came across one of the classic Christmas episodes that is very memorable for me “Santa Goes Downtown.”
There are a couple reasons for this.
First, you have the whole “Does Santa really exist” story line that has gotten a …
90210 show
It’s been two years since I first seen the first episode of 90210 and since then, I became addicted to the series. I was not able to watch the first 90210 series which was way way back, that was like a few years ago. I was not able to …

This episode of Tom and Jerry starts off with Tom being a lazy cat in the old west. His owner tempts him with a plate of food by rinigng the dinner bell and filling his plate up and then tells him to catch Jerry the mouse who is stealing …
Metalocalypse TV show
Metalocalypse is a new 15-minute cartoon on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim lineup, and I just finished watching the premiere episode of this show. Overall, I’m left with mixed feelings.
The show focuses on a death metal band named Dethklok. In the first episode, they first throw a concert in …
Highway Patrol: Stolen Plane Copter TV Show
I’ve said it before, and I may just say it again, but it amazes me how many shows of Highway Patrol revolve around the helicopter. The actual ‘copter’ word is used in numerous titles throughout the series’ run. I suppose in the late 50’s when this show …
Merry Little Christmas
Each time I watch House this season he seems to keep digging himself into a deeper hole and I’m really starting to wonder just how he’s going to get out of it.
During the last episode, Merry Little Christmas, House’s friend Wilson confesses in order to cut House a deal, …
Pokemon (TV Show) - Clefairy and the Moonstone (Episode)
“Clefairy and the Moonstone” is an episode of the Pokemon television series. What is perhaps most interesting about this episode is the story. I like how this episode exhibits a certain degree of mystery by exploring whether or not the Clefairy and Clefable came from outer space and I …
Psych: Who Ya Going to Call
I ended up watching a bunch of Psych episodes before bed last night (it was a late night for us because of the baby). One of them, “Who Ya Going to Call” was a bit on the predictable side.
Shawn and Gus are hired by a guy who thinks he …

Louis, Martin & Michael (2003) TV
In this particular documentary from Louis Theroux, we see him attempting to bag an interview with Michael Jackson, which he never does because Michael gave his exclusive interview to Martin Bashir instead. We all know how badly that turned out. Ironically, Michael had wanted someone who would …
The King of Queens
To be honest, I never watched “The King of Queens” before they started showing syndicated episodes of it in the afternoons on one of local television stations. Since that time, however, my day is not complete unless I see this show. Everybody in the cast is talented …
Doctor Who, Season Five on BBC America
“Doctor Who” is a long-running science fiction series centering around “the Doctor,” an alien species known as a Time Lord with a surprisingly human-like appearance. The Doctor can travel through time and often ends up righting wrongs and setting events right when historic events change from their intended …
Cupcake Wars - episode 1 TV Show
Television will make a show about anything these days, especially if it’s cooking related. For some reasons, America is fascinated and entranced by anything that gives us food. Thus, we now have Cupcake Wars which has four individuals vying to be king, or queen, of the cupcake …
24: Action-packed TV Series
Can a number bring thrill and suspense to television viewers? I’d like to think so and 24 has done a very good job at that.
24 is an action-drama series that has spanned seven seasons already. It stars Keifer Sutherland as the famous (or infamous) Jack Bauer as a …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Bitter Wine
From season one, Have Gun - Will Travel: Bitter Wine opens with Paladin (Richard Boone) judging a wine contest. This continues the interesting dichotomy of the Paladin character. He’s a gunfighter for hire with sophisticated tastes and knowledge. I really think that seeing both sides of …
Laramie: Man from Kansas TV Show
Laramie: Man from Kansas, a second season outing of this hit western, is definitely one of my all time favorite episodes of this awesome western that stars John Smith as Slim Sherman and Robert Fuller as Jess Harper. There is so much conflict and emotion in this hour …
Stargate SG-1: Orpheus
The next episode of Stargate SG-1 in season seven is Orpheus. Now, I have an issue with the final scene, and that issue keeps me from watching this episode as often as I would otherwise. The other thing is that this show refers to Daniel’s ascension, and …
TV SHOW MONK
If you think you have problems with phobias or fears, you have NOT watched and appreciated the show called: MONK on television. He has xenaphobia, he is afraid of most everything! He is totally obsessive compulsive about everything! He needs to have a personal assistant with him at all …
Anime (Animation) : Kids On The Slope
The animation is wonderful, the story is lively, and when those two main characters start playing jazz I just can’t help but close my eyes and smile. The anime Sakamichi no Apollon (also known as Kids on the Slope in English) truly is a masterpiece. I am a big …
That Girl: Don and Sandy and Harry and Snoopy
That Girl: Don and Sandy and Harry and Snoopy introduces Don’s sister, Sandy, played by Cloris Leachman. That surprised me. I hadn’t thought of Cloris as being the Hollinger type. She was quite bubbly here, playing a widow who had found a new romance with an …
The Commish: Rising Sun TV Show
I was very happy to see that, at last, the third season to The Commish was online over at Hulu because I’ve been anxious to see the episode Rising Sun. The reason for that is that it includes a small role by my favorite, Michael Shanks of Stargate …
Simpsons - Loan-A-Lisa
This is one of the episodes that I can honestly say Lisa is not completely and totally annoying. She actually does a good thing for someone else and that is always worth talking about. Giving money to someone who is in need or wants to start a business but …
The Defining Moment
The Defining Moment is a mix of boring and seriousness and at the same time, isn’t that bad to watch. I’m still watching this TV Drama, but judging by the first few episodes, a lot has to be said and I could see some ‘repeats’ of other local TV …
Good Day Xtra news show
I am usually an avid watcher of Fox Five news. But now they have a new show called Good Day Xtra. I was surprised to see that this show, which is on from 9am to 10am, features some of the anchors from the regular news program. …
Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Episode 1.16: The Hidden Enemy
The sixteenth episode in the series, “The Hidden Enemy”, is a few steps up from the horrid “Trespass” which preceded it. This episode is actually a prequel to “The Clone Wars” film itself and explains why the forces on the planet of Christophsis (which happens to look a lot …
Psych: Let’s Get Hairy
I wasn’t going to watch tonight’s episode of Psych. I’ve had a long day and wasn’t really feeling like staying up to watch it. But, my wife is out of town and she asked me to record it for her. Since I had to have the TV on to …
Seven days Season 3 Episode, Deloris Demands
Imagine if you could relive your last week knowing what you and other people did wrong and you could change that. Well, that what they do in this show. They have this machine they use to travel back in time 7 days and they fix things.
In this episode an …

With the new changes with the netorks, you can always expect Saturday morning catrtoons from Cartoon Network. Since the WB has cancelled Pokemon from their list, you kids are missing you catching. Well now you can catch them on Cartoon Network. Saturday mornings, you can catch Pokemon at 9 …
JUMONG
Kudos to “Jumong”, a Korean telenovea running in Philippine local TV daily from Monday to Friday at prime time. I was not curious to anticipate the program when it was first launched its premier telecast a year ago since it will will be run at the late hour …
Food Network Challenge show
I have really fallen in love with this show. I like seeing the different ways that “amateurs” cook, and love the ingenuity that they have to use when they’re provided the ingredients they must use for their dishes. I like in particular, the contests in which …
Ghost Hunters: Tombstone
I like the show Ghost Hunters but the episode Tombstone is one of those episodes that has enough bad camera angles and too many assumptions to sometimes make me have doubts about TAPS credibility.
The team investigated the Bird Cage Theater in Tombstone Arizona, which is definitely a historic place. …
Animal Miracles show
“Animal Miracles” is an inspirational television show that airs on the Animal Planet cable network. Hosted by Alan Thicke, each episode features stories about real-life stories where pets committed heroic acts by saving the lives of their owners. Too many people are just not aware of how important …
M*A*S*H: It Happened One Night
One of the things that is most noticeable about M*A*S*H: It Happened One Night is just how much Jamie Farr’s role on this hit comedy series has expanded. His Corporal Klinger character has really expanded, which is logical since he’s now in the opening credits. He really …
Columbo: Try and Catch Me TV Show
Columbo: Try and Catch Me, from season six, has Peter Falk’s police lieutenant dealing with what is probably a sympathetic murderer to the viewers, and jury that will certainly be in the future.
This is one of the more entertaining murder set ups of the entire series. The game …
Due South: Seeing Is Believing
Due South: Seeing Is Believing is somewhat interesting. It takes the concept that a thing can happen in front of ten people, and all ten people will see it differently. That’s the story that plays out here. Right before a gift from Canada to America is …
King Of Queens TV Show
The King Of Queens is yet another of my favorite TV shows.
Dough and Carrie Heffernan are a working couple with no kids. They live in Queens, New York.
Doug is a courier for IPS, while Carrie works as a secretary for a large Law Firm.
Carrie is very driven, she …
In Plain Sight (Pilot Episode)
In Plain Sight is this new show on USA that I wasn’t too sure about when I first heard about it. The show follows a US Marshall by the name of Mary Shannon and her partner. They actually work with those people that have been placed in the witness …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Evel Knievel TV Show
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast continued with a tribute to, of all people, and I can’t even fathom why, Evel Knievel. Taped in Las Vegas, as always, the roasters included Ernest Borgnine, Gabe Kaplan, and a slew of other folks who have basically nothing to do with Knievel, …
Jeremiah: Things Left Unsaid: Part 1
The first season of Jeremiah heads to its conclusion with a two part episode in which the action begins with Jeremiah (Luke Perry) realizing that someone ripped out a page from Simon’s journal. Simon is the person who told him about Thunder Mountain, and he and partner, Kurdy …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Day It Rained Forever TV Show
I wasn’t real impressed with The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Day It Rained Forever, a story of this science fiction anthology series that originally was seen on television in November 1990. The acting was okay, but I wasn’t taken by the story. It was slow, lacked much …
The Andy Griffith Show: Opie’s Charity TV Show
From November 1960, The Andy Griffith Show: Opie’s Charity is one of my favorite episodes of this terrific comedy classic. It’s just incredibly awesome.
This episode is another one that proves that Sheriff Andy Taylor isn’t perfect in any way. He’s human, and boy, does he make some …
Mighty Boosh - Season 3 - Episode 1: Eels
The Mighty boosh isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. If you like your comedy a little bit different though, this is for you.
It’s surreal, strange, bizarre and almost frightening in places, but you also get a bit of good old dumb humor thrown in for good measure.
Here, we see …
