Washington Journal TV show (C-Span)
The ‘Washington Journal’ is very informative and insightful! I try to watch it as often as I can and it’s definitely one of my favorite programs. I like it because unlike many other cable news programs it’s fact-oriented. I’ve noticed …
Diagnosis Murder: Murder on the Run: Part 1 TV Show
So far, Diagnosis Murder has done one two-part story each season and this third year is no exception. Diagnosis Murder: Murder on the Run: Part 1 aired in January 1996 with the conclusion airing one week later.
This is a good time to note another change to season three, …

Best Dance Crew
The other day I was watching mtv and I caught a couple of episodes of Randy Jackson Presents Americas best dance crew. I really enjoyed watching it and I watched the live auditions for season two and the first episode of season two. I enjoy watching this show because …
All in the Family The Complete Sixth Season
This is the last season of All in the Family to be released on DVD even though the show ran for nine years before changing its name to Archie Bunker’s Place. It’s a shame that the remaining seasons haven’t been released and it’s possible they never will be considering …
The Closer: About Face
While relaxing tonight and waiting for another show to come on, I was flipping through the ‘on demand’ options and came across The Closer with Kyra Sedgwick. I’ve heard about this show and was moderately intrigued by the concept, but I’ve never actually watched an episode. I …
One Tree Hill Series
First of all, I did not expect that I would learn to love CW’s One Tree Hill series. I have been a loyal viewer of the series since the airing of its first season when its characters were in their teenage years. Now it has made to its sixth …

Have Gun - Will Travel: One, Two, Three TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel continued its 1962 efforts with a fifth season outing called One, Two, Three. This show is just full of violence, though we don’t really see that much of it. The catalyst of the murders are more heard than seen as they are …

Hot in Cleveland: A TV Comedy Series
Betty White is my all-time favorite comedy actress. She was my favorite in The Golden Years. She brings this excellent comedic timing in Hot in Cleveland.
The storyline is simple enough —“ three women from Los Angeles whose careers in the entertainment industry are in their twilight years are marooned …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 7
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 7 gives us the resolution to the court-martial murder trial of Lt. Glenn Matthews (Andrew Stevens). Initial joy turns to anger and hurt with the verdict. Better than the verdict for me, though, was the bit before it when Lt. Simon Adams convinced …
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Senior Spirit
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Senior Spirit is awesome episode and is perhaps the best show to air since the pilot. In this show, Brisco is surprised when Socrates shows him a piece of the orb that had been with his father’s affects. There’s actually a …
Worried About the Boy BBC Drama
I was looking forward to seeing the one-off drama ‘Worried About the Boy’ and I think it was one of the best things on television lately. It re-enacts the story of how Boy George, of Culture Club fame, rose to fame back in the early 1980s but I …
Destination Truth TV Episode: Spirits of Easter Island
Well, last night was the season finale of Destination Truth; Spirits of Easter Island. And, upon reflecting on it a bit, I have to say it was actually a bit of a disappointment for me.
Seeing Easter Island and all those giant heads was pretty cool. But, the investigation really …
Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Episode 1.2: Rising Malevolence
Yawn, yawn, yawn. After the last episode, “Ambush”, and now this one, you just can’t help but ask yourself how this could get any worse than it already is. The second episode of the season, “Rising Malevolence”, depicts Anakin Skywalker and his apprentice, Ahsoka Tano (who is a cute …
Eureka Seven episode 40
Now as the end is upon us at last, Renton and Eureka must prepare to accept their destiny as those who will change this blood scared land for years to come. This is Eureka Seven episode 40 “Cosmic Trigger”, an exciting trip that will force us to embrace what …
Ghost Hunters: Garden State Ghosts
Whenever the TAPS team ends up in New Jersey, it is almost always going to be a disappointment. The cases in the Garden State Ghosts episode weren’t much different.
They visited two places, an old mill and the proprietary house that once housed a royal governor. The highlight of both …
Vampire Diaries show
Vampire Diaries is a new TV show that debuted the Fall of 2009 on the CW network. The series is based on a book series much like the Twilight saga, only the books the Vampire Diaries were based on pre-dates the Twilight series by about ten years. Vampire Diaries …
Juge Mathis:UPN network TV show
Anyone who tunes in to the UPN network in the evenings has probably had the fortunate opportunity to catch the quick witted rulings of Judge Mathis. Of all the court tv shows on the air, I find that Judge Mathis is the sharpest male judge on the bench. …
Trigun Episode 22
Trigun Episode 22 has Vash, Meryl, Milly and Wolfwood travel to a town, only to be turned away at the gates and meet a small group of orphaned children whose parents just up and left town one day without any explanation. Then people in the nearby town are …
The Catherine Tate Show - Series Three
Catherine Tate returns with her many guises, bringing with her many fan favourites and a few new faces.
It’s very much same old, same old; but this third series is certainly a step up from Tate’s last outing. Generally, things seem to have been upped a notch. There’s still …
Queen Bee
Queen Bee is a new show which recently premiered on the-n. You all have seen them, the overly self-confident stuck up girls. Well what would happen if you put seven of them in the same room? Brittany, Camille, Gisbelle, Kiana, Michelle, Shavon and Stassi were put on this show …
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 …
Sports Unlimited
Being a sports lover and being active in different sports, I must say that, for me, Sports Unlimited is a gem of a TV program here in the Philippines.
It’s basically a TV show in ABS-CBN Channel 2 (a local broadcasting network) every Saturday, 12 am, which essentially covers different …
Criminal Minds: JJ TV Show
A.J. Cook’s swan song is this second episode of the new season, Criminal Minds: JJ. A lot of fans are angry to see this show come to fruition. Cook was fired during the hiatus in a supposed downsizing move. Paget Brewster came close to suffering the …
Wagon Train: The Sam Darland Story
I was a little surprised by Wagon Train: The Sam Darland Story because I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. This season six episode reminds me a lot of Boys Town and Father Flanigan, though there isn’t any connection. It’s just the idea that makes …
Mr. Monk and the Paper Boy
I had never seen the Monk episode Mr. Monk and the Paper Boy before and I have to admit, after seeing it finally, I absolutely loved it. It was one of the best Monk episodes ever made.
Monk has his paper boy killed on his doorstep and the newspapers are …
MacGyver: The Endangered
It’s another animal story, and that means I’m closing my eyes. This was the year of the message show for MacGyver with numerous shows dealing with environmental and animal welfare issues. I wouldn’t mind them except that I can’t stand to see or hear even a hint …
Hogan’s Heroes: The Merry Widow
Well, yesterday’s episode of Hogan’s Heroes (on TV Land) was definitely an interesting one; at least more interesting than I thought it would be.
The episode, called “The Merry Widow” had Hogan and his team trying to smuggle out information relating to a new landmine. However, they get caught digging …
Diff’rent Strokes (TV sitcom)
When I was a lot younger, I used to love this sitcom. For some reason I enjoyed watching the three young kids, Kimberly, Willis, and Arnold running around that two-dimensional looking penthouse apartment. The decorations were ritzy. I can’t really believe that they lived …
Undercover Boss: 7-Eleven
The latest episode of Undercover Boss had the CEO of 7-Eleven, Joseph M. DePinto, taking on a false identity to check out just how well his stores really do. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, I applaud the CEOs who have the guts to do …
Two And A Half Men: The Flavin’ And The Mavin’
“The Flavin’ And The Mavin’” was a decent episode of the CBS sit-com Two And A Half Men, although the one-liners were not as clever as they usually are, and the ending of the episode was not going to be a surprise to anyone. I will give you …
Wagon Train: The Widow O’Rourke Story
Wagon Train: The Widow O’Rourke Story is one of my favorites. It’s really quite different and interesting, and Robert Fuller gets to play two parts. Along with his regular role as Cooper Smith, the scout for the wagon train, in flashbacks he plays the Irish husband of …
The Virginian: Ah Sing vs. Wyoming TV Show
It’s an interesting thing about The Virginian: Ah Sing vs. Wyoming, which was the 7th episode to air in season six. I had wondered if there had been any real context behind the story, a case of reality by taking a real situation and sticking it into an …
Ghost Hunters: Mark Twain House
Since Law & Order SVU wasn’t on last night, I was able to watch the early show of Ghost Hunters as they explored the Mark Twain House in Connecticut. This turned out to be an interesting episode.
For one, they had a lot of personal experiences. Normally, I don’t count …
Columbo: The Complete Fifth Season DVD set
Columbo: The Complete Fifth Season DVD set basically follows the same suit as the fourth season set. That equals an adequate presentation by Universal, one that is better than what they did with the season 3 set, but not as wonderful as the first season set.
The fifth season …
America’s Next Top Model Cycle 13
America’s Next Top Model Cycle 13 airs on CW and is the new season for fall 09. The show is hosted by super model Tyra Banks. This cycle the show is about models under 5 ft 7″. Tyra is trying to give short women a chance to model.

Star Stories Peter and Jordan
Star Stories is a scathing comedy show that tells the story of different celebrities in each episode and this one tells the story of Peter Andre and Katie Price (or, Katie Price aka Jordan as he calls her) up until their fateful meeting on I’m a Celebrity Get Me …
Lipstick and Dynamite
I’m not sure what I think of the women of Lipstick and Dynamite. Their story is one of the first women who were professional wrestlers. If you want to see a story about truly strong women, in many ways then this is the perfect story.
Wrestling, while staged, is certainly not …
Clean House (American TV Show)
Ask anyone of their aspiration in life and house is certainly included in their long wish-list. I am one of the persons who aspire to have one someday, for now I’m content of seeing elegant houses on magazines and on TV. Clean House a foreign TV show, seems to …
Stargate SG1: There But For The Grace Of God
This was the first of many alternate reality shows that Stargate SG1 would do. It is also one of my favorite episodes from Season One. Maybe it’s because this episode is Daniel-centric or maybe it’s because it was very well written and fun to watch.
Daniel and the …
America’s Next Top Model Cycle 10 Episode 9
The girls arrived in Rome. Tyra Mail reads, ” you are now in Rome but this is no holiday. It’s going to be a lot of work if you want to become America’s Next Top Model. Head just around the corner, find the flag of Rome, and your new …

Highway Patrol: Escort TV Show
Highway Patrol: Escort was somewhat interesting to watch. The basic plot was quite simple in that the California Highway Patrol was assigned to make sure that a prominent senator made his way safely to the hearings. The man is controversial, and some of the bad guys really …
The Tyra Banks Show
Last summer I discovered “The Tyra Banks Show”, and currently, it is the only daytime talk show I would anticipate, sit and watch. It is hosted by the former very popular African American supermodel Tyra Banks, who also for some time in the past helped host “The Oprah Winfrey …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Death of a Gunfighter TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Death of a Gunfighter is an odd story. Paladin rides into a New Mexico town intending to take a job for John Sebrey. Sebrey is involved in a deadly feud with Juan Carlos Morrita, who had killed several men. However, Paladin …
