The Twilight Zone: A Game of Pool TV Show
The Twilight Zone: A Game of Pool is another show I just don’t like watching. It’s a two-person episode from the third season and though the acting is good, I don’t care about the story. It can really be summed up by saying that it’s another one …
Stargate SG-1: Window of Opportunity

Bones TV Episode: Judas on a Pole
Well, last night was the first time I had a chance to see the Bones episode Judas on a Pole. And, it was pretty good. However, I have to confess, it might have been better if I had seen it when it first aired.
The episode focuses on Bones’ dad …
“Daredevil” series on Netflix
For years now, it seems like it is government-mandated to watch all of the Marvel films, because as much as I try, I can’t seem to keep myself out of the theater! The “Daredevil” series on Netflix, although successful, seems to not be as etched into the mainstream as …
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 …

Band of Brothers Episode 1 Currahee is a HBO Home Entertainment drama based on the life experiences of soldiers from the Easy Company, 2nd Battalion of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment during World War II. This first episode shows their training for the airborne division before D-Day in …
The Virginian: The Masquerade TV Show
The Virginian: The Masquerade, a sixth season episode, was one I found to be quite delightful. It was pretty lighthearted versus the serious tone of so many of these 90 minute episodes, and it featured David Hartman, who I often enjoy in his portrayals.
Hartman guest stars as well …
Stargate: Infinity: The Long Haul TV Show
I love the very first image we see in Stargate: Infinity: The Long Haul. It’s just a lovely mix of colors and is beautiful to look at. Too quickly, we’re drawn into the latest effort to escape their attackers. This half hour entry is the last …

The Good Wife: Mock TV Show
The Good Wife is a show I watch every week, but even as I watch it, it often bothers me. In fact, the more the show goes along, the more I wonder if I might stop watching. This episode called Mock is a perfect example of why …
That 70s Show: It’s a Wonderful Life
You know, it’s been years since I’ve seen the actual movie It’s a Wonderful Life. But, I haven’t had any desire to watch it again because of all the shows that feel the need to do their own take on that film.
I ended up watching another one yesterday afternoon …
Fringe : The Transformation
This could also be called Fringe, the Hulk because that is certainly what the beginning of this episode felt like. A disease had been given to several people, and while on a plane one of them is overcome by the disease turning into a large creature with long tentacle …
Monster (Anime)
Sometimes after watching a show like this one, I wonder why does not all anime come in this format. I’ll admit, I’ve almost didn’t see it at all - the pace is rather slow in the beginning and I’ve almost stopped watching before it got its hooks into me. From …
Home Improvement: Young at Heart
It’s good working half days for a week because I get to see some shows I might not get a chance to see when I’m working all day (too bad that starts next week). One of the shows, Home Improvement, is one I’ve missed a bit.
The episode that showed …
Fringe : Bound
It’s hard for me to decide if I like “Fringe” or not. On one hand I enjoy parts of the show. I’m a big science fiction fan and this reminds me more of the “X-files” than anything that has been on since. I’m certainly not the first person to compare …
What a Night for a Knight
I got my daughter the first five episodes of Scooby Doo Where Are You through Netflix and the very first one, What a Night for a Knight still has to be one of the better episodes in the series.
I’ve seen this one a couple times and never realized it …

The Simpsons: Lost our Lisa
One of my favorite Simpsons episodes was on television earlier today (or, actually, yesterday since I’m writing this in the wee hours of Saturday morning);Lost our Lisa. It is a cute episode for a variety of reasons.
For one, you have a funny situation where Bart goes to a joke …
Stargate SG-1: Chimera
Stargate SG-1: Chimera brings about a lot of surprises for fans of the series. The first one is that Daniel suddenly owns a home. This has come out of nowhere. For seven years, he’d had an apartment and, bam, now he has a house.
The second is …
Death of an Expert Witness - Part 3
I’m not really sure if viewers have known this before or not, but it was news to me. In Death of an Expert Witness - Part 2, we learn that Chief Superintendent Adam Dalgliesh (Roy Marsden) is a poet. This does become a side point in the …
California Dreams
I used to watch California Dreams as a kid and I loved it then. Now however I’ve seen it again and of course I don’t like it as much as I’m older and the show seems very dated.
Basically it started off being about a family and their two …
Shanties and Sea Songs with Gareth Malone TV Show
Shanties and Sea Songs with Gareth Malone was quite an interesting show in my opinion. That’s mostly due to the fact that the topic, the style of song covered in this special program is highly dramatic and engaging. In fact, they are some of the most powerful …
Criminal Minds TV series
The Criminal Minds TV series fits well with all of the other crime investigation drama out there because it is different but still comfortable. The crimes are more graphic - if I wasn’t already desensitized by other shows I would say too graphic, and they probably are too graphic. …
Prison Break
One of the best series to ever hit the television small screen, I honestly and truly believe that the hit series Prison Break, has not only captivated me, but has made a huge impact on audiences world wide.
When I watched Prison Break for the first time last year, …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Family
Willow’s girlfriend Tara has been around for some time now but has always been a bit vague in terms of her past. That’s why I actually liked the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode Family.

Bones: Harbingers in a Fountain

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Harvest
The second episode of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Series isn’t too bad but, like the first, is hindered a bit in terms of helping us learn the major plot points and characters at the expense of the overall plot.
While I actually liked this episode a bit more than …
666 Park Avenue TV Show
Being that I am an individual who loves a good horror movie that makes my heart thud and a mystery that leaves me puzzled, 666 park avenue instantly appealed to me.This TV Show isn’t your typical drama or just a show to spark your attention and then disappoint you. …
The Twilight Zone: The Trouble with Templeton TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Trouble with Templeton is another one of the many shows where a person finds solace in their past. Sometimes these outings end up positively and sometimes not. I like this one because it comes with a bit of a message that is …
The Rachel Ray show
I hate the Rachel ray show. It feels like I am watching reruns of the Oprah or the Tyra Bank shows only the host is a chef who was unknown to the public just a few years ago! I think that everybody should stick to what he does best …
Band of Brothers episode 5 “Crossroads”

This episode was really intense and the war scenes in it were insane. You …
Scrubs: Our Stuff Gets Real
This episode is almost a cast reunion. JD and Elliot are featured and there are cameos by both Jordan and the Todd.
Aside from Elliot’s general unlikable personality, the episode is solid. Both the veterans and the newbies bring in a fair share of humor. It was …
Pokemon (TV Show) - Mystery at the Lighthouse (Episode)

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Lie to Me

The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 15: Station Identification
The Ghostbusters find themselves bored as there hasn’t been any business for three weeks. It’s kind of weird how one episode has them exhausted from too much work, and then the next episode, they’re upset that there aren’t any new clients. I guess it’s the nature of …
Family Guy: Back to the Woods
Tonight was the first time I’ve seen the Family Guy episode “Back to the Woods” and I thought it was pretty funny.
