The Simpsons: Sunday, Cruddy Sunday
Early yesterday afternoon, I came across a Simpsons episode I haven’t seen in a while; Sunday, Cruddy Sunday.
As a big NFL football fan, I absolutely love this episode. It features Homer and his new friend Wally organizing a trip to the Super Bowl. This, in itself, is a bit …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Sun and Shadow TV Show
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Sun and Shadow from October 1992 was a show that I had some problems with, not in terms of the production but in the main character and what his supposedly heroic deeds were. Heroic may not be the right word. Perhaps it’s more …
Max Headroom: Neurostim TV show
Yet again, viewers are given a situation where minds are affected from broadcast transmissions in an airing of the half-hour series, Max Headroom. In Neurostim from 1988, the theory put forth is that a rival of Network 23’s is able to directly stimulate the brain to get commercial …
Stargate Atlantis: Ghost in the Machine
Stargate Atlantis: Ghost in the Machine is the fifth episode of the fifth and final season for this SyFy TV series. Never let it be said I can’t say something good about this series that I’m not fond of because I’m saying here that this episode was actually …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 10
It’s the morning after in Emerald Point N.A.S., the tenth episode. My hero of the show, Lt. Simon Adams, let me down, though I figured it would happen eventually. What I really don’t like are all the lies that these supposedly honest people tell. Simon is in …
Naruto on Cartoon Network
Fans of Japanese cartoons- anime- no doubt looked forward to the premiere of the anime Naruto on Cartoon Network Saturday nights. However, devotees of the show are likely to be disappointed by its dub. To those unfamiliar with the process, the original Japanese language track is removed …
Law & Order Criminal Intent TV Episode: Ten Count
My wife was watching re-runs of Law & Order Criminal Intent last night and, since I really wasn’t in the mood to watch Monday Night Football, I decided to sit down on the couch and watch them with her.
The first episode that aired was one I hadn’t seen before …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Darlings Are Coming TV Show
In March 1963, the Darlings didn’t just come, they arrived, and they did it in their own unique style. The show was The Andy Griffith Show: The Darlings Are Coming, and it was the first of several shows that would feature this folk singing family from the hills.
Denver …
CSI Season 1 Episode 7 Blood Drops
A really great episode, although it was a bit melodramatic at the very end. In this episode the CSI teams is called to a scene of what looks like a work of a cult. Half of the family inside the house is murdered with a knife- the mother, the …
Naruto Episode 18 Subbed
Episode 18 picks up exactly where the previous episode left off but does not really add much to the story line. Inari is finally done crying and decides to do something about the situation that his village is in, but the other villagers are just as frightened as he …
John Doe: The Rising TV show
John Doe: The Rising is the final episode of this one-year episode and it essentially picks up not all that long after the last show ended. The topic in it was remote viewing, and John Doe (Dominic Purcell) was the subject. It’s actually a little disturbing to …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV show
This TV show was very popular while it was on, featuring Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy, a girl who moves to a new town after she’s been kicked out of her old school. The reason she was kicked out was that she is The Slayer, and so she was …
A-Team TV Episode: Waiting for Insane Wayne
I ended up watching an A-Team marathon this past weekend and one of the episodes was entitled Waiting for Insane Wayne.
This one was actually better than I thought it was. The team members are actually minding their own business and are mistaken for another group of mercenaries a landowner …
Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 9
Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 9 is a continuation of Futures End this being part two. I thought it was pretty cool when Commander Chakotay and Torres attempt to grab Starling out of his own car with a transporter from a shuttle. But it couldn’t be that simple …
The View show
The View is a show hosted by four women (five when Barbara Walters is on). These four women, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sherri Shepherd and Elisabeth Hasselbeck, have very different opinions and views on many different subjects from raising children, to marriage woes, to political issues.
The best and most …
The Simple Life (television)
“Laugh and the world laughs with you”. That phrase does not always seem to alighn properly with Paris Hilton and Nicole Richey’s, The Simple Life, more often than not, does it? While this dynamic duo makes millions of dollars based upon their innate ability to function in …
The Simpsons: That 90s Show
Of all the things I’ve seen Marge and Homer’s marriage have to survive in the almost two decades worth of Simpsons episodes, I never realized he almost lost her to a college professor; something that is revealed in the episode entitled “That 90s Show.”
The great thing about this episode …
M*A*S*H: Officers Only
I suppose someone behind the scenes decided that it was time to add a new set to the 4077th compound. Most scenes have traditionally been in the operating room, the Swamp, Henry’s office, including the clerk’s area, Houlihan’s tent, the showers, and the mess tent. With almost …
ECHO, THE MOVIE

Martha: The Martha Stewart Show: 9-17-10 TV Show
Martha: The Martha Stewart Show from September 17, 2010 featured guests Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Ryan, John Ortiz, and Daphne Rubin-Vega. Some were more enjoyable than others.
Much of this show was devoted to Hoffman and his movie, Jack Goes Boating. Other members of the cast, as mentioned, …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Young Gun
Have Gun - Will Travel: Young Gun is the ninth episode of this second season. It actually feels like a response to, or an extension of, the sixth show, The Protegé that had Peter Breck as a guest star. The circumstances are a little different, but …
CSI Season 10 Episode 2
I’m just glad that CSI is back on track. To me, it lost its footing in the previous season, which coincided with Grissom’s sabbatical. No matter how of course the producers bandaged the situation, the crack evidently showed.
To me this was understandable, for how do you cope …
Bones: The Man in the Bear
I like the television series Bones but have not been a fan of more recent episodes because the cases are a bit boring. The episode “The Man in the Bear” is one that should serve as an example of what this show used to give us for entertainment compared …
Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Belligerent Ghost TV Show
I’m really enjoying watching a few of these very vintage episodes of Sherlock Holmes. From the early days of TV broadcasting, this series starred Ronald Howard, who fits as Holmes with a wonderful naturalness. Alongside him is Howard Marion-Crawford as Dr. Watson. Like the star, Marion-Crawford …
Have I got news for you comedy show
I recently rented out the DVD of have I got news for you, a British comedy show, where comedians and celebrity guests discuss recent news and current affairs. I watched a lot of it on television and the DVD showed the best of the show.

Survivor: Philippines
This is how animal human can be in order to survive. Of course, “human” can just be a word to describe creatures more animal than animals.
I didn’t know there would be a Philippine version of the Survivor show. I thought Filipinos are different in a way that they …
The Hunger TV Series (1997-2000)
Oh how I am so glad that I have found this series. I do understand that it is over a decade old. But “The Hunger” is one of those cable TV series that you either love or hate. Clearly, the fact that it began in the …
Smallville 8.17 Hex
This season has been a real return to form. This episode was no exception. The addition of Zatanna is always a nice thing and Serinda Swan played the part quite well.
I had a few quibbles with her at first but they were taken care of …
The Twilight Zone: The Bewitchin’ Pool TV Show
All good things come to an end, and such was the case for The Twilight Zone with this interesting outing called The Bewitchin’ Pool. I really like this show and believe that this groundbreaking science fiction series went out on top.
Basically, we have a couple of warring parents …

Hellcats: Ragged Old Flag TV Show
Alyson Michalka stars as law student and cheerleader scholarship holder, Marti Perkins, in Hellcats: Ragged Old Flag. In this outing, she has some division of unity between participating in a rather ridiculous football game between the girls volleyball team and the cheerleading squad or going on an important …
Phineas and Ferb cartoon show on Disney Channel
I love anime and cartoons, as long as they are entertaining and fun to watch. I’m already 24 years old but still I happen to love watching the Phineas and Ferb cartoon show with my youngest sister (age 7) on Disney Channel. At first, I was even commenting that …

Pokemon (TV Show) - Here Comes the Squirtle Squad (Episode)
“Here Comes the Squirtle Squad” is an episode of the “Pokemon” series and the third episode in a row the deals with an abandoned Pokemon or abandoned Pokemon. After watching “Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village” and “Charmander the Stray,” I admit that the theme of abandonment was starting to …
The Virginian: The Exiles
The problem with The Virginian, as I’ve said before, is that it bores me more often than not. I couldn’t watch it as a kid because none of the characters captured my heart or imagination. This episode, The Exiles, exemplifies those feelings. It’s a show towards …
Supernatural TV Series - Season 1
I don’t think I would believe you if you said that you haven’t heard anything at all about Supernatural. It is definitely one of the most popular TV shows at the moment and personally, I am a big fan of the show.
The show is about two brothers - Sam …

The Twilight Zone: Third from the Sun TV Show
One of the things I’ve always remembered about the filming of The Twilight Zone: Third from the Sun is how the show is filmed. It’s the camera angles that really give it a warped feel. It’s vital for the story and it puts the viewer off guard.
The …

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Who Are You
Well, I was right in my assumption during the last episode that Buffy and Faith switched bodies. This was confirmed in the episode “Who Are You” and it was definitely an interesting episode.
For one, you have Buffy facing imprisonment and even death because the council believes she is Faith …
The Virginian: Show Me a Hero TV Show
The draw for me in this edition of The Virginian, called Show Me a Hero, was a nice strong cast of guest stars. This was a show that was done away from Shiloh Ranch. The last couple had been ensemble episodes, and I’d enjoyed those, but now …

Here Come the Brides: After a Dream, Comes Morning is a wonderful episode of this family show about a trio of brothers who brought 100 brides from the civility of the city to the growing town of Seattle, Washington. This show is a essentially a flashback to what …
