Stargate SG-1: Unnatural Selection is actually part two of the story that began in Prometheus the week before. However, they really aren’t connected in terms of the story. Prometheus was an avenue to get the ship in space and meet up with the Asgard.

Have Gun - Will Travel: Cage at McNaab TV Show
From its sixth season, Have Gun - Will Travel presented Cage at McNaab. It’s a surprising set up that at first had me suspicious because the events were odd but which also made for a very different show. After five seasons, it’s hard to be unique, so …
Old Mother Hubbard cartoon
Recently I watched a vintage Old Mother Hubbard cartoon. This was a U.B. Iwerks product, which means it was done by a respected animator of the era. I actually remember as a young child watching Old Mother Hubbard cartoons on weekends. They were cute.
This golden era …
Cowboy Bebop Episode 23 (Anime)
Cowboy Bebop Episode 23 has Spike, Jet, Ed and Faye all after the leader of a strange cult after its members start committing suicide.

Fireball XL5: 1875
I love this edition of Fireball XL5: 1875. Gerry Anderson, the creator of the series, just really amazes me at how he utilizes the puppets and builds stories around them like we’d find in any science fiction TV series. In this one, that genius Professor Matt Matic …
Louis Theroux Weird Weekends India Enlightenment Indian Gurus
This review is about the Indian Gurus episode of Louis Theroux’s Weird Weekends, which is the second episode of the third series and was shown in 2000. I thought this was one of the more entertaining episodes of Louis’s show although it was really inevitable that seeing him …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Inca Mummy Girl
I’m usually not a big fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes when they go off track and don’t even mention vampires. But, I did like the episode Inca Mummy Girl.
I liked this episode, which has the gang tracking down an ancient mummy after the seal keeping her inanimate …
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 …
The Simpsons
The simpsons is a very popular and successful TV show, a cartoon drawn in a very unique style by its creator Matt Groening. The characters are drawn in primary colours like kids doodles and are quite funny to look at. The show itself has a unique character that appeals …
MacGyver: Out in the Cold
I love this episode of MacGyver. From season two, Out in the Cold is just so much fun to watch. Not only do we get series star Richard Dean Anderson looking cute and sexy in his ski outfit, but we get lots of emotional angst and a …

There’s a lot going on in CHiPs: Family Crisis, one of the early shows from the second season of this police drama which stars Larry Wilcox and Erik Estrada.

Hair Battle Spectacular: Episode 4 TV Show
I’ve come a long way with my tolerance level for Hair Battle Spectacular. While it is still an outlandish show, full of arrogant contestants, it’s not that off par from any other reality show. It just takes a bit of watching to get into the speciality of …
Boston Legal Season 1 Episode 15

The Virginian: Old Cowboy TV Show
The Virginian: Old Cowboy is not a new or novel idea. It’s been told in TV and movies for decades. I realize this is an older show, but even for the 60’s, it’s been told before. What is the focus is an old cowboy, a man …
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 19 (Anime)

Stephen King’s Rose Red TV miniseries

…
Have Gun - Will Travel: Bandit TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Bandit is from the fifth year of this western hit series which features Richard Boone as Paladin, the gunfighter for hire.
The opening at the hotel has Paladin wondering how a woman could become so vile. It’s a very odd beginning but I guess …
Here Come the Brides: Democracy in Action
Here Come the Brides: Democracy in Action is a fun show and one I enjoy watching. One of the things I like about it is that the theme of the show changes two or three times, meaning that just when you think the story is about ‘this’, it turns. …
Fearne and Peaches Geldof
Fearne and—¦Peaches Geldof is the second in the three part television series where Fearne Cotton trails a famous —˜it’ girl to see what their lives are really like. I was interested to watch this as personally I have not found Peaches Geldof to be a very likeable person …
M*A*S*H: As Time Goes By
M*A*S*H: As Time Goes By is probably the best show in some ways ever done in the history of this groundbreaking show. It’s certainly memorable. This is the final regular episode of M*A*S*H. However, the movie that would follow it was actually filmed earlier in the …

Fireball XL5: Invasion Earth
One of the notable things about Fireball XL5: Invasion Earth is that we actually hear an alien language being spoken. Most of the time the aliens have been speaking English. Of course, that’s standard practice for science fiction series, but that is precisely why it sticks out …
Night Gallery: Pamela’s Voice/Lone Survivor/The Doll TV Show
Pamela’s Voice was written by Rod Serling, the creator and host of this Night Gallery series. It starred Phyllis Diller as Pamela, the deceased wife of John Astin. She appears without her spiked hair. She’s actually very polished in the role of the late wife.

Stargate SG-1: Avalon Part 2
Stargate SG-1: Avalon Part 2 is the second episode of season nine, a season I’d just as soon forget, with a handful of exceptions.
Mainly, this episode continues the ridiculous plot of Daniel and Vala being linked because of these bracelets that she found. Neither can stay too far …
Highway Patrol: Suspected Cop TV Show
The twenty-second episode of Highway Patrol’s second year on the air was titled Suspected Cop, and it is an episode that I did like because it focused on a theme it hadn’t yet tackled. In this half hour outing, Officer Stan Johnson, a regular played by William Boyett …
How I Met Your Mother
This is a great sitcom! It is definitely not one for the whole family, but I would highly recommend turning this on after the kids are in bed. It is smart and hilarious!
The show centers around a group of five friends in their late twenties and early thirties living …
The Defenders: Nevada v. Sen. Harper TV Show
This episode of The Defenders, known as Nevada v. Sen. Harper, was rock solid, and it is the kind of hour that I want to see. It’s not that there aren’t still annoyances, because there are, but the dramatic portions are really wonderful to watch.
The opening scene with …
Hawaii Five-O: Six Kilos
Hawaii Five-O: Six Kilos is another showcase for Jack Lord. So many episodes are nearly solo vehicles for Lord, and this is another one of them. The rest of the cast are relegated to brief moments on the screen as McGarrett checks in with them.
In Six Kilos, McGarrett …
Laramie: The Passing of Kuba Smith TV Show
Laramie: The Passing of Kuba Smith aired in this terrific series’ second season. It’s an intriguing hour that guest stars John McIntire, who would later appear with series star Robert Fuller in Wagon Train. For now, though, McIntire was the crafty and clever outlaw, Kuba Smith, with …
Adam 12 - Logs 61 and 172
I’ve decided to combine these two “Adam-12″ episodes. My favorite of the two is “Log 61″ which evokes heart and compassion from Officer’s Reed and Malloy when they get called to residence for a possible break in.
The call comes from two young children, whose parents are out. …
The X-Files D.P.O Episode
This is one of my most memorable episodes of the popular 1990s American television series “The X-Files”. It was memorable to me because of the plot of that particular episode whereas I had always wondered if people who were struck by lightning and survived ever became electrically charged even …
CSI Season 2
The second season of CSI was one of the best seasons of the show, though a lot of people have forgotten just how good it was. We’re now on season seven, and some people have a hard time remembering the earlier seasons. In season 2 we were treated to …
