What I liked …
Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Jedi Crash
The last episode of the clone wars was not good so I came to this one with a fair amount of trepidation. This show has been hit or miss from the beginning and while I can’t say this is a great episode it was far better.
Not having Jarjar in …
Celebrity Apprentice - Episode 2
Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice is always full of the unexpected. In this second edition of the celebrity-studded game, my favorite is Scott Hamilton. However, from the moment I heard he was going to do the show I was certain he’d be eaten alive. He’s a good …
Stargate SG-1: Bloodlines
Stargate SG-1: Bloodlines is the first of the Jaffa storylines, the shows that give Christopher Judge a chance to stand out as the normally stoic and silent Teal’c. These stories usually take place on Teal’c’s home world, Chulak, and often involve his wife and son. In this …

The Fugitive: Escape into Black
I love this episode of The Fugitive called Escape into Black. Kimball is injured going after the one-armed man and wakes up without his memory. Ivan Dixon is his by-the-book doctor and Betty Garrett plays his assistant. Garrett becomes intrigued by the patient. She actually …
The Apprentice UK - Episode 1
On a whim, I saw this offered ‘on demand’ on cable and decided to turn it on. ‘This’ is The Apprentice UK, its first episode. This is the British version of Donald Trump’s Apprentice on NBC. Here, it’s Sir Alan Sugar running the show. He …
One on One (CW network sitcom)
If there was ever an example of a trifling sitcom, this is it. I hate that I am saying this about a show that pairs a young girl with her father in a single-parent environment. Typically, black single parents on television are usually women. But seeing …
Stargate SG-1: Holiday
One of the most riveting episodes in season 2 of Stargate SG-1 is called Holiday. It’s a standout episode for Michael Shanks, who not only plays his usual character of Doctor Daniel Jackson, but also the part of Ma’chello, an aged and infirmed inventor of things to defeat …
Hawaii Five-O: Cocoon (Pilot)

Tom and Jerry: - ep: Salt Water Tabby
I don’t think Tom and jerry would ever get old and with so many episodes depicting different backgrounds yet keeping the classic chase. They did wonderfully. One of these episodes which features a different background from the usual house or back yard is called Salt Water Tabby.
The Salt Water …
Tales of the Gold Monkey: Last Chance Louie
I like seeing Roddy McDowall getting some meat to his part and that’s exactly what happens in Tales of the Gold Monkey: Last Chance Louie. McDowall was a great actor, and while he loved to act and took on all kinds of roles that some might question, he …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Deadly Creature Below! TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Deadly Creature Below! was the 16th show to air during the 1965-1966 TV season, which was the second year of this sci fi series about the nuclear submarine, Seaview. The Seaview should have billing: it’s a vital part of what makes …
H20 - Just Add Water
When I first heard about H20 - Just Add Water I was quite excited. A series about mermaids? I love mermaids, I also loved that the show was an Australian one.
H20 is into it’s third season now and I must admit the first season was a bit …
Sister Wives TV show
Normally I hate Reality TV. To me, it screams of TV producers throwing their arms up and saying “Everything’s been done. We don’t know what else to do”. However, Sister Wives is a pleasant change in the whole Reality TV scene.
Here we have a slight reminder of wholesome …
Sponge Bob Squarepants (tv)
Although it took me about five episodes of watching Sponge Bob to figure out that he was a sponge, rather than a piece of swiss cheese, I really do enjoy the show. Its one of the few television shows that I can tolerate and watch with my children …
Gilligan’s Island - St. Gilligan and The Dragon TV Show
Here we have chaos again. Chaos everywhere. The Castaways split apart into two groups, women and men. The men think the women will learn a lesson of humility and that women should be subservient to men. This kind of made me a little upset the kind of mental thought …
The Twilight Zone: What’s in the Box TV Show
The Twilight Zone: What’s in the Box is a crazy thirty minutes focused on the evils of television, or maybe it’s just focused on an evil television. Sterling Holloway, whose unique voice makes him a unique performer, guest stars as a TV repairman who performs some special alterations …
TV Episode for House: Black Hole
I got a chance to watch bits and pieces of last night’s House episode. From what I saw of it, it was a pretty interesting show.
This time around, House and his team have to figure out what is killing a high school girl before all her organs start failing. …
Being human - TV series shown on BBC 3 in the UK
Have you watched Being Human because if you haven’t you really should catch the next series! It’s fabulous.
Being Human is one of the best BBC dramas to be released in a long while. The storylines are compelling and the characters, despite some of their rather off-putting traits, …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Out of Mind, Out of Sight
So far, watching re-runs of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer every night has revealed two things about the show. First, Sarah Michelle Gellar is hot. Second, for every good episode of the series, there is at least two bad episodes.
The episode out of mind, out of sight was one …
Crimewatch
Crimewatch is a local TV show that I like to watch because it gives me the latest insight on what’s going on in my country; crime-wise, of course. It is not that interesting to find out that someone has been robbed or killed, but I think the show gives …

Aqua Teen Hunger Force
Showing currently and ongoing on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, this animated series is a work of art. How oftern will you see floating fries “Frylock”, a giant milkshake cup called “Master Shake” and a rolled up ball of meat names “Meatwad’ become superheroes. They all live together sharing a …
The Glenn Beck Program
Fox News gets a lot of flak nowadays. Oh, I know it’s biased, but people react as if the idea of a biased news source is something new. Furthering the irony is the fact that the people who complain about Fox the loudest are the ones who …
Touching Evil: Slash 30
Touching Evil: Slash 30 was the first episode of this series that I really didn’t enjoy much at all, and I believe the reason why is that it is the first one that was very soap opera-ish. Where dramatic shows often go wrong is when they try to …
M*A*S*H: Morale Victory
Every now and then, the powers that be at this incredibly wonderful wartime comedy give us a show dealing with how down and out the personnel can get. M*A*S*H: Morale Victory is one of these episodes. The troops at the 4077th are tired of the war going …
The Andy Griffith Show: Opie the Birdman TV Show
The fourth season of the wonderful comedy series, The Andy Griffith Show, began on September 30, 1963 with a very nice show called Opie the Birdman. However, while I have watched this show several times over the years, it’s one I don’t watch as often as others. …
Survivor Nicaragua: Glitter in Their Eyes TV Show
Survivor Nicaragua: Glitter in Their Eyes was full of fire as events unfolded. There were also a lot of critical moves and, of course, a blind side. That’s what this TV Show is about more often than not, the surprise back stabbing. I’m pretty tired of …

Stargate SG1: Beast of Burden

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Pangs
I’ve seen several Christmas episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer before. But, the episode “Pangs” is the first one I’ve seen that takes place at Thanksgiving. And, for the most part, it wasn’t too bad.
Of course, while I’m all for the spirit of political correctness, watching an episode about …
The Simpson’s TV Episode: The Day the Violence Died
I ended up watching a re-run of the show The Simpson’s last night, The Day the Violence Died. I have seen this one before, but this was the first time in a long time and it was actually kind of nice seeing it again.
Basically, in this episode, Bart and …
Columbo: The Complete Sixth and Seventh Season DVD set
Columbo: The Complete Sixth and Seventh Season DVD set is comprised of three DVDs, just like earlier seasons. Consumers need to remember that Columbo was part of the Mystery Movie lineup and tended to air just once a month during a season. As time passed, even that …
Matt Le Blanc on Ellen
I have watched Matt Le Blanc on Ellen and he is as awesome as he is on the show Friends. Even with a serious look, I just can’t help laughing at Joey’s expression and he looks like he is very calm, cool and collected. He talks to Ellen …

Shatner’s Raw Nerve: Henry Winkler
Shatner’s Raw Nerve: Henry Winkler was a fascinating half hour of television. I’m still amazed by this inventive semi-talk show that William Shatner does. It’s not scripted at all and there’s not fancy introduction. Shatner may speak for all of a minute in bringing on his …
Max Headroom: Blipverts TV show
A couple years before Max Headroom the TV series began, there was a short movie made of the subject matter that created a lot of industry buzz. Much of this Blipverts episode is derived from the plot and themes first scene in that attention-grabbing 1985 project.
The basic idea …
Family Guy: Prick up your ears
Sometimes, the series Family Guy can be a bit over the top. A lot of times, that can take away from the show. Other times, like in the episode “Prick up Your Ears,” it can be a good thing because it was a great way to bring people’s attention …
Family Guy: Stewie Loves Lois
OK, I’ll admit it, even though there were some objectionable scenes in the Family Guy episode “Stewie Loves Lois” I think it is still one of the funnier episodes in the series.
You have two major plots. First, Lois fixes Stewies Bear Rupert and he realizes that he loves her …
CSI the TV Series
Until now I consider CSI as the only CSI. Call me prejudiced, but CSI:Miami and CSI: New York just cannot compare. When CSI opened in 2000, I was instantly curious. I think that was the first time that a show featured the people behind the police investigators. It was …
ABS-CBN: My Girl
MY girl Korean version is really one of my favorite Korean Dramas! That Korean drama introduced me to Lee Jun Ki, on of the lead actors of the show, and he is, to this day my favorite Korean star. My girl’s story is light, moving at times and really …
