Ghost Hunters Academy: Final Exam
My wife and I watched the season finale of Ghost Hunters Academy last night, Final Exam. It was an OK episode because I think it ended explaining more about the series than the rest of the episodes did.
For one, we learned that, instead of going home, the class members that …
Defying Gravity (ABC SERIES)
As another year of viewing pleasure draws to end, a sizable heap of shows lie cancelled, victims of the dreaded, unforgiving axe.
Amongst them, ABC’s sci-fi drama Defying Gravity: an ambitious tale of eight astronauts on a six year long exploration of the solar system. This show seemed to …
Bones tv show
Although I did not expect to like the new television hit, Bones, I actually do rather enjoy watching the program. It combines a tasteful array of suspense, murder, mystery, and humor to create a pretty well-rounded show. The acting is actually not half bad, and the characters …
The Virginian: Girl on the Glass Mountain TV Show
From season 5 in 1966, The Virginian: Girl on the Glass Mountain was a fairly entertaining episode. I haven’t liked very many of the fifth season shows, but this one does okay. It revolves around a young woman who gets married and wants everything to be just …
Highway Patrol: Train Robbery TV Show
From November 1958, Highway Patrol: Train Robbery was the 8th outing of the fourth TV season, and it really was different. I love fresh shows, things that weren’t done before. Granted, that isn’t always easy, but it can be done. The premise of this half hour …
House, M.D (TV series)
Of all the medical dramas around on TV in recent years, House, M.D. has got to be one of my favorites. I came across this series in its first season, and have been a fairly regular viewer ever since.
The writing of House is some of the smartest writing …

The Bachelor Pad: Episode One TV Show
What on earth possessed me to watch the opening episode of The Bachelor Pad? I can’t believe I did it. It was an enormous waste of time. The thing is, I don’t even watch The Bachelor or The Bachelorette. I have seen maybe 3 full …

Dancing with the Stars - Final Results 5/19/09
This was the big night when the winner of the Dancing with the Stars 2009 season would be crowned. While I agree, the best three couples are in the finals, it also bugs me that the voting has been so manipulated to ensure that one of them, Melissa …

Malibu Pilates Chair (infomercial)
Apparently, Susan Lucci has climbed aboard the infomercial train. I have seen her advertising makeup and all sorts of things. But the most refreshing thing I’ve seen her endorse is the Malibu Pilates chair. This chair is actually a replication, or rather— a …
The Wonder Years
The Wonder Years show brings back to many good childhood memories. This show was a classic. It truly captured the life of a young boy growing up in a family. The Wonder Years is very deep and emotional. I really like this the intro and music when the show starts …

Star Trek: The Trouble with Tribbles TV Show
Star Trek: The Trouble with Tribbles is arguably the most popular episode in the history of Star Trek. The show is so entertaining and has a lot of humor within its hour. Tribbles, cute little white fur balls, are adorable. I own a couple myself.
The setup …
Criminal Minds show
Criminal Minds is a standing 8pm Wednesday night appointment in my home. I’m not sure why but this show that allows us to see directly into the evils of the human mind is addictive. Maybe it’s the interest I have always had in the art of profiling.
I love …
CSI Season 1 Episode 23 Strip Strangler
I did not like this episode very much. I don’t know if this episode was funny or annoying really. It was just so immature, sort of a childish behaviour in a script. It made absolutely no sense to me.
In this episode, without considering Grissom’s wishes, the police contact the …
M*A*S*H: Sticky Wicket
In M*A*S*H: Sticky Wicket, Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) has a hard time dealing with a patient he operated on who isn’t responding. Most think he made a mistake, and he mopes around because of his own self-doubts. Actually, the most endearing part of this episode is when …
NCIS: See No Evil
“See No Evil” held a lot of surprises for the viewers. Not only was the case concluded in a surprising way but this was the episode where Gibbs hired McGee to be a full time field agent on his team.
The case starts when a secretary for a Captain …
Doctor Who: Season 4, Episode 13: The Stolen Earth
Wow, just wow. That’s all that can be said after watching this episode. Doctor Who finales tend to be larger in scale, but this completely blew everything else out of the water by a long shot, a looong shot. Just when you think that the show …
Damages TV series: Season 1
Pretty much everything I watch, I watch from my Netflix DVD queue or on my Netflix instant queue. One day I was sitting around with nothing to do and I was waiting for my discs to come in the mail. So I did a little searching through some …

Medium: Talk to the Hand TV Show
Medium: Talk to the Hand had a very different beginning. The opening teaser has Alison with Mr. Bill about safety. Mr. Bill was such a contemporary figure a couple of decades back. I was never that amused with him, but once you see him, it’s hard …
24 TV series

John Doe: Shock to the System TV show
I do like the opening scene from John Doe: Shock to the System because it keeps the continuity alive of John wanting to be challenged. He doesn’t want to know everything, and like an earlier outing where he multi-tasked in a chaotic frenzy until there was something he …
Seven days Season 2 Episode 1
As I have seen most of the episodes of the first season of show Seven days I knew, more or less, what to expect in seconds season. Actually I was expecting some little improvements because it usually happens that way. Then again, the first episode should also be a …

The Andy Griffith Show: Floyd, the Gay Deceiver TV Show
This 1962 outing of The Andy Griffith Show is far from a favorite of mine. In fact, I really don’t like it much at all. There are a few reasons for that, one of which is that I really don’t like outings where Howard McNear takes the …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Sky’s on Fire TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Sky’s on Fire, the 18th show of the 2nd season, was a terrific episode to watch. However, just a few moments into the show, it might look very familiar to some.
This story is a variation of the movie the series …
Blacke’s Magic: Death Goes to the Movies
Blacke’s Magic: Death Goes to the Movies is a fun entry in my opinion. I like it because the theme is the movie industry, which I’m interested in. In the beginning, magician Alexander Blacke (Hal Linden) is helping a movie company to stage an important part of …

Emerald Point N.A.S.: Pilot Part 2
Emerald Point N.A.S. was more soap opera than military drama, and I think I have always regretted that. I knew that it is what it would be all along, but I was hoping for more guts and glory than extramarital affairs and scheming. As the second part …
Parking Wars: S4, Ep 2 TV Show
The second episode of Parking Wars’ fourth season began by following a ticketing agent in Detroit. That’s something the show added a while back, expanding their focus from just Philadelphia.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Helpless
One of the things I never liked about Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the fact the main character has almost superhero-like powers to help her fight evil; something that gives her almost too much of an advantage.
That’s one thing I liked about the episode “Helpless.” Buffy, who is turning …
