The Dave Ramsey Show
I am writing to let as many people as possible know about Dave Ramsey, my financial advisor. He recently started his own show on Fox Business, and you can see him every day at 5:00pm and 9:00pm Pacific Time.
Ramsey is the guy that changed my financial life. He …
Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town
The story of how Santa became the jolly figure we know today is told in the classic animated tale, Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town. This is another of my all-time holiday favorites. I watch it at least twice every season, if not more. The story …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 16 - Disguises
Emerald Point N.A.S. is an ensemble series and there are some pieces of that ensemble that I like better than others. Glenn Matthews is a wimp of a character, and I’m so sick of him; in fact, I wish he wasn’t part of that ensemble. As portrayed …
Highway Patrol: Magazine Writer TV Show
From season two, Broderick Crawford stars as Chief Dan Mathews in Highway Patrol: Magazine Writer. Crawford talks way too fast. It’s like speed talking. He had multiple moments in this show where he rattles off words so fast I barely know what he’s saying. He …
Seinfeld: The Comeback TV Show
I am not a fan of Seinfeld. To me, it’s one of the most boring comedies ever on TV. The only reason I watched The Comeback is because the IMDB lists one of my favorite actors as being on the show. He is on it, or …
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: The Man in the White Hat TV show
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: The Man in the White Hat is the second episode and it’s always been one of my favorites because of the intensity of the family drama. In this episode, Crane McFadden (Peter Horton) is insistent that the family participate in a co-op for …
K-ON! Anime
“K-ON!” is the anime series that I am currently hooked on and I strongly recommend it to anime lovers who enjoy watching series that are funny, enjoyable, exciting and educational. The fact that this anime also has lots of great songs in it is another bonus! The first time …
Seven days season 3 episode 4 The Dunwych Madness

In this episode the project got a new member, Hooter, because Ballard took leave. Frank goes to visit his friend …
The Soup - E! Entertainment Television
I am very into pop culture. It’s my guilty pleasure. I secretly buy the glossy magazines and I watch all kinds of entertainment news. For a long time now I’ve been watching The Soup. First off, I have to admit that I have a serious crush on Joel …
MacGyver: Final Approach
The fifth episode of MacGyver’s second season is much better than the fourth one was. MacGyver: Final Approach opens with a neat bit of Mac being killed in a plane crash. Of course, he’s in a simulator, and he’s not thrilled when Pete tells him that he …
The Apprentice - UK - Week 12
It was Saira versus Tim in the finale of The Apprentice - UK, and it started off very wonky in my opinion. For one thing, just like in the American version, Sir Alan Sugar brought back the other contestants and the two finalists were allowed to choose three …
Stargate Atlantis: Inquisition
The 13th show of the last season, Stargate Atlantis: Inquisition is what is known in the business as the clips show. It’s sole purpose is to keep costs down. One episode a year is devoted to this economic episode. Whatever cast is used is often minimal …
Tenspeed and Brown Shoe: Savage Says: “There’s No Free Lunch” TV Show
Tenspeed and Brown Shoe: Savage Says: “There’s No Free Lunch” is the second regular episode of this detective drama, which is really a comedy in drama’s guise, that stars Ben Vereen and Jeff Goldblum.
Here are a few observances about this hour of entertainment which, by the way, was both …
Married with Children
Married with Children is one of the funniest shows I have seen in my entire life. I just love this show. Al Bundy is probably one of the best TV characters ever invented. He is just so funny and clever with his jokes. Al bundy is a character that kids …
Mr. Monk Buys a House
I still like the television series Monk. But, either I’m becoming a better detective myself or the show is becoming extremely predictable with easy-to-solve cases.
Mr. Monk Buys a House, the newest episode, is a good example of this.
From the first minutes of the show, we know who is killed …
What’s New Scooby Doo: The Vampire Strikes Back
As far as “What’s New Scooby Doo” episodes are concerned, the one entitled “The Vampire Strikes Back” was better than some of the first season episodes I’ve watched.
This one actually had a legitimate mystery in it at least.
The episode features the Hex Girls (which I can only assume means …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Datalore
This first season episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation - “Datalore” is an episode that I enjoy watching, but it is also an episode that is weakened by writing that is a bit too convenient and wobbly in my opinion. The episode definitely suffers from some faults that …
The Golden Girls: Season 1
I laughed my butt off when I watched the first season of Golden Girls. All of the characters seemed so undeveloped at the time. I don’t mean the acting skills, but in how the actresses came to “know” their characters.
The pilot always cracks me up. Blanche, played by Rue …
Stargate Atlantis: The Queen
Stargate Atlantis: The Queen, season 5’s eighth episode, is very big into this whole wraith business. The wraith are the equal of the Goa’uld on Stargate SG-1. The problem is that no one really wants to look at them. They are unpleasant evils and never really …
Adam-12: Log 164: The Poachers
As the third season of Jack Webb’s Adam-12 continues, we get a decent episode entitled Log 164: The Poachers which includes the recurring character of Officer Ed Wells, played to perfection by Gary Crosby. As always, the show stars Martin Milner and Kent McCord as the veteran and …
Highway Patrol: Motel Robbery TV Show
The eleventh episode of the second season of Highway Patrol was called Motel Robbery and, as the title indicates, focused on a three person robbery ring. The three had a great system set up where one of them would check in to a hotel and get the needed …

From November 1961, Have Gun - Will Travel: Ben Jalisco features Charles Bronson as the title character of Ben Jalisco, a convicted murderer who escapes from prison. Paladin (Richard Boone) was responsible for bringing Jalisco in, based on information given to him by his wife, Lucy (Coleen Gray).
Before …
The Andy Griffith Show: Mr. McBeevee TV Show
The season three premier episode of The Andy Griffith Show is a classic show called Mr. McBeevee. This particular program is definitely in my top 10 of the best of this comedy series. There’s humor in abundance and warmth that makes your heart both ache and smile.
The …
Stargate SG-1: Frozen
For some reason, I like this season six episode more than the other ones before it so far. Maybe it’s the intrigue of the White Rock Research Station in Antarctica. That’s a new one for the team, and it’s kind of interesting.
I like the Ayiana character, a …
Chasing Mummies: Robbed TV Show
Chasing Mummies: Robbed go right to the action with the famous archaeologist, Zahi Hawass, making a discovery of a previously unearthed sarcophagus with a mummy inside of it. I do enjoy the history that I learn from this show, and actually, I like watching to see how the …

“Skokie” is a made for TV movie about how the Jewish community -mostly survivors of the Holocaust- try to stop Neo Nazi’s from marching through their town of Skokie, Illinois. They fight in court with the Neo Nazi leader being represented by the ACLU and specifically a Jewish …
Bones TV Epiosode: The Mastodon in the Room
Well, I didn’t know what to expect from last night’s season premiere of Bones last night; mostly because, how last season ended really made me think the show would start going downhill in a hurry.
I’m still not convinced that isn’t the case. But, I will say the episode “The …
Project Runway: Finale Part 1 TV Show
It’s a showdown between the final four to see which three will get to show at Fashion Week in the Part 1 edition of this season’s Project Runway Finale. We pretty much start with Tim Gunn making his pilgrimage to the homes of the designers to see how they …

Death Note Episode 8 has L has security cameras in Light Yagami’s house and he figures out how to keep killing people while pretending to study for college entrance exams.

Fraggle Rock: Wembley and the Gorgs
In the first episode of Fraggle Rock, we are briefly introduced to the Gorgs, giant creatures that apparently have their own world just outside of Fraggle Rock. The second episode of the series, Wembley and the Gorgs, gives us a better understanding about who they are.
This episode was actually …
Stargate Atlantis: The Seed
As folks who know me are aware, I’m not a big fan of Stargate Atlantis for many reasons, not the least of which is that I hold it responsible for the deterioration of quality on Stargate SG-1. Now that I’ve said that up front, here are both the …
Stargate SG-1: Tangent
Stargate SG-1: Tangent is a very nice entry in season four of SG-1. It again divides the team up, but they are all focused on the same goal, and it’s full of angst and drama.
Jack and Teal’c are testing the new X-301 interceptor, which combines both American and …
Adam-12: Day Watch
The standout story in Adam-12: Day Watch features George Murdock as the owner of a service station whose been robbed. He’s the prejudiced type with a quick temper. It’s actually an interesting case study of how anger makes a situation worse. It’s Murdock’s own stupidity that …
Red Dwarf TV show
Even after well over a decade since it was last on our screens, apart from a rather badly conceived “Back to Earth” special shown in 2009, Red Dwarf remains - at least as far as I am concerned - the greatest of all science fiction sitcoms. The BBC stuck …
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 24 (Anime)
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex episode 24 has the nature of Section 9’s work revealed to the media after Chief Aramaki ordering Section 9 to take down the man behind all the corporate terrorism.
This was a really good action packed episode and it showed just how good …

Yu Yu Hakusho ( animated series )
I just finished watching all one hundred and twelve episodes of the Japanese animated series Yu Yu Hakusho, and I’m happy to say that it’s at the top of my list of one of the best Japanese action animation I’ve ever watched. If you are or ever were a …
Dora the Explorer
This children’s television series is a godsend to parents everywhere. It is a time when you can have a hot drink in peace because the children will be glued to the television. At the same time it is very educational so you do not have …
The Virginian: Dangerous Road TV Show
The Virginian: Dangerous Road was interesting to me mostly because the main guest star was Robert Pine. Pine became a household name to me when the TV series, CHiPs aired on television. The funny thing is that I didn’t even recognize him. I’d never seen him …
That Girl: That Shoplifter
You just have to feel for Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) in That Girl: That Shoplifter. She’s so innocent and naive sometimes. Of course, back in 1971 when this ABC hit comedy aired, things weren’t as jaded as they are today.
While working as a specials announcer at a …
M*A*S*H: Bug Out
Season 5 begins with M*A*S*H: Bug Out, a show that is full of rumors that the 4077th is bugging out due to an expected attack. At first, it’s believed that the news is nothing but exaggerations and rumors, but then the news comes that they will be bugging …
Wagon Train: The Jess Macabee Story
Wagon Train: The Jess Macabee Story is pretty funny. The emphasis is on Robert Horton’s character of Flint McCullough who has gone ahead of the wagon train to try and find a food supply. He’d been in the area before, but for the first time, he find …
