Stargate SG-1: Cure
In Stargate SG-1: Cure, we get more history of the Tok’ra. In fact, we meet their queen, who has been used as a laboratory rat of sorts for ages by the Pangorans, who claim ignorance once the discovery was made.
It becomes a bit of an ethical debate. The …
Adam-12: Extortion
The fourth season of Adam-12 got under way on September 15, 1971 with an episode called Extortion. It’s a good start for the police drama which starred Martin Milner and Kent McCord.
What I love about it first of all is that it starts out with the banter that …
The Singing Bee
Filipinos love music. I guess everyone else does. But music is the most closest to every Filipinos heart compared to other mediums of art. Because of this, videoke (video karaoke) and magic sing microphones sells like rice congee. And television networks have invested in this opportunity by staging singing …
Prison Break Season 2 Episode 11- Bolshoi Booze

Doctor Who: Season 2, Episode 13: Army of Ghosts
So begins the finale of the second season. Like pretty much every two parter in the show so far, this one is pretty much all build up. It’s well done build up, but build up none the less.
The Doctor and Rose return home so that Rose can …

Transformers
I had seen the television series of Transformers. I liked the series very much. When a movie was released of the same kind, I was overjoyed and expected it to be way better than the series. And it was exactly that way.
The movie revolves around the life of Sam …
Good Luck Charlie- Disney Channel Family Show
Good Luck Charlie is Disney’s recent television show, and it’s a lot different from their other ones. For example, in this show, no one is famous. No one lives on a ship, and nobody can see the future. That’s what I like about this. Good Luck Charlie follows a …
Family Guy 8×08: Dog Gone
Family Guy continues its eighth run with this Brian focused episode, “Dog Gone” a pretty standard tale of Brian at odds with the world that doesn’t really deliver too many laughs, but proves a funny enough outing in this largely mediocre eighth season.
When Brian hears his novel “Faster …

CHiPs: High Flyer
Sadly, the powers that be behind television series often don’t pay attention to their own show’s history. Continuity often has gone into the toilet, so to speak. In CHiPs: High Flyer, we get another example of just how bad it can get when no one cares to …

Episode 10 of season four, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Terror , guest starred Damian O’Flynn, albeit briefly, as Dr. Thompson, who warns Admiral Nelson (Richard Basehart) that invaders are taking over the earth and he has only 8 hours to stop it. This happens on …

What I liked about this episode: I thought the addition of Jason’s dog, Maddie was an interesting one; simply because it is something you don’t see on …
The X-Files Eve Episode
I watched the X-Files episode “Eve” at about three separate times. However I was unable to watch the episode fully until very recently. I wouldn’t call it my favorite episode of the popular 1990s American television series “The X-Files” but I think it was an interesting episode nonetheless because …
Back at the Barnyard
I normally don’t mind my daughter watching shows on Nickelodean. But, I have to say I’m not a huge fan of the show Back at the Barnyard; a feeling that hasn’t changed from day one.
Fortunately for me, my daughter is already tired of the show because it means I …
Project Runway
The emmy nominee show on Bravo television known as Project Runway is terrific. It features the latest upcoming clothes designer fighting for the chance to become top in their field. The judges are great, though somewhat hard on the designers. Although some of the designers …

Criminal Minds —“ Season One —“ Episode Seventeen —“ A Real Rain
Finally a case in New York City! Someone was going around killing convicts that got off for one reason or another. That leads to that thought, does this unsub really need to be stopped? That bottles down to a question of ethics. If the law cant touch the …

Wagon Train: The Duncan McIvor Story
Wagon Train: The Duncan McIvor Story isn’t a favorite of mine. In fact, it’s not one that I particularly enjoy watching. To be truthful, though I’ve seen it before, when watching the DVD again, it took me a few times to get through it. I just …
A-Team TV Episode: Children of Jamestown
I have gotten re-hooked on the show A-Team recently and, growing tired of waiting for re-runs to air on TV, I ended up loading the first season of the show on my Netflix player.

Law and Order: CI Season 1, Episode 13
Though Paris Hilton has barely made a blip on most people’s radar screen when this episode aired, it is clear that the main character is based on her. We have a spoiled brat of a celebrity daughter, who does little more than do drugs, drink, party, and sleep with …
Life Beyond Trek: Leonard Nimoy featurette
This feature, Life Beyond Trek: Leonard Nimoy, is really fascinating. As the title indicates, it delves into Nimoy’s life beyond the famous Star Trek series. In his case, it doesn’t even involve acting. In this wonderful piece, the man shares with viewers his love of photography.

The Twilight Zone: Two TV Show
The third season of The Twilight Zone is a two-person show. For some reason, Rod Serling liked these introspective shows for the season premiers, and I’m not sure why. Season one focused on Earl Holliman’s character being in a town by himself, and season two had Robert …

Sea Hunt: The Manganese Story TV Show
Sea Hunt: The Manganese Story was the last episode of its first season. Per the information I have, that was the end of October, so it’s quite obvious that seasons were different way back when. As a last show, it was fairly strong and it took the …
Highway Patrol: Blast Area Copter TV Show

Law and Order SVU: “Uncivilized” Episode
I think this was one of my favourite episodes of Law and Order SVU for season one because it had a twist that I did not see coming at all. A part from that, I thought everything else was good. The acting as usual was great, the dialogue was …
CSI Miami
CSI Miami comes on every Monday at 9pm. While I didn’t begin watching the show until later into its run, it became one of my favorites rather quickly. Watching the show can be confusing even if you don’t miss an episode though. I don’t know why but sometimes figuring out …
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
I love it when I can watch a sitcom, and even when it’s been on TV for so many years, it’s still enjoyable to watch, and I can still relate to it. This is the case with Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. This show came out in the 90s, and …
The Apprentice: Rock the Catwalk TV Show
The Apprentice: Rock the Catwalk made me wonder if maybe I were really watching Project Runway. Actually, parts of it had some very entertaining moments. This latest hour of Donald Trump’s very long job interview began with last week’s winning project manager, Clint, having a meeting with …

The Big Bang Theory (Tv Series)

Full House TV Show
Who doesn’t love Full House? Sure, Danny sometimes gets so cheesy that you almost have to turn the channel, but seriously I could sit for hours watching it and get a fuzzy feeling inside. Cheesy but true.
