That Girl: Ten Per Cent of Nothing Is Nothing
That Girl: Ten Per Cent of Nothing Is Nothing is okay, but not great, especially since it has some issues. The first issue for me is that we’ve got another case of the rotating agent for Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas). The problem is that they’ve never said …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Three - Snowball Effect
It is actually snowing in Bikini Bottom, because there is an iceberg that is over the town. This rarely happens so Spongebob and Patrick try and take advantage of the situation and have a snowball fight with each other. They are having a lot of fun in the yards, …
The Twilight Zone: The Mirror TV Show
I have never, ever, ever, ever liked The Twilight Zone: The Mirror. It is a third season episode of a series that I love which turns me off so much. I don’t like one thing about the show. Maybe it’s the idea of Peter Falk playing …
Those Scurvy Rascals
British series cartoon animation titled Those Scurvy Rascals is something that I always am able to catch in Kids Central Channel, in my country. It is so darn funny and these pirates are really getting on my funny nerves. My nieces and nephews all love this cartoon as …
The Cleaner: Lie With Me
The Cleaner: Lie With Me is the season ender for year one, and frankly, I just don’t get it. I was ultra disappointed in this show. It’s all about the Banks family and how it suddenly spirals downward. All season long, the story has been about …
Hannah Montana TV Show
Hannah Montana is one of the Disney Channel’s newest original series. I love the Disney Channel for its wholesome, funny, family friendly shows. Hannah Montana stars Miley Cyrus, daughter of country singer, Billy Ray Cyrus who also stars in this show as Hannah Montana/Miley Stewart’s dad. The show is …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Race TV Show
Paladin has another romantic evening interrupted by Hey Boy delivering a message in Have Gun - Will Travel: The Race. The message is a request for him to participate in a horse race. A kiss later, the girl is gone and Paladin prepares to leave. What …
John Adams: Peacefield TV Show
John Adams: Peacefield is the seventh and final installment of this HBO mini-series that dealt with the life and times of John Adams, as played by Paul Giamatti. His wife Abigail was portrayed beautifully and painfully by Laura Linney in what I think is her best performance ever. …
Chopped Television Show
Although I will admit that I am a terrible cook, one of my favorite television stations to watch is Food Network. I love learning about the history and uses of different foods and seeing others create innovate dishes using ingredients that I have never heard of. One …
Sea Hunt: Underwater Patrol TV Show
In Sea Hunt: Underwater Patrol , there is a crime wave going on in the Florida waters. I suppose that in reality that is nothing new, but back in this June 1958 episode, the problem was a pair who had a unique gambit going. One man released …
Columbo: Dead Weight TV Show
Dead Weight is another first season installment of the Columbo series, which was actually a once a month event back in those days. The show begins with the revelation that a major general’s private company won bids unfairly, thanks to the help of a corporal. When the …
Remington Steele: Signed, Steeled and Delivered TV Show
Remington Steele: Signed, Steeled and Delivered is the fourth effort for this freshman year of NBC’s detective series from October 1982. The show begins lightheartedly with Steele, played by the suave Pierce Brosnan, asking Laura Holt, portrayed by the talented Stephanie Zimbalist, out on a date. She …
Power Marketing : Upright Citizens Brigade
Power Marketing is probably one of the best remembered of the Upright Citizens Brigade episodes. There is, after all, a lot of memorable stuff in this one (including the whole pennies thing). My favorite part of the episode is actually the Power Marketing sketch, for which the …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Hey Boy’s Revenge
I love the first scene of Have Gun - Will Travel: Hey Boy’s Revenge. Paladin (Richard Boone) returns to the Hotel Carlton in San Francisco and discovers some changes have taken place. Among them is a new desk clerk, played perfectly by Olan Soule. It’s quite a …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Wager
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Wager is a second season episode from this half-hour series that starred Richard Boone as the gunfighter, Paladin. Though the performers are very good, I actually didn’t enjoy this episode very much, and there’s one big reason for that. Overacting.
Boone is …
The Little Einsteins (tv show)
The Little Einstiens is a cartoon program for children ages zero to probably about five years old that airs at eight o’clock on Saturday mornings (EST) on the Disney Channel. My children have fallen in love with this group of explorative youngsters as they embark upon different journeys …
The Andy Griffith Show: Guest of Honor TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Guest of Honor isn’t one of my favorites. I love this series greatly, but even when funny, not every show is one that I adore. This second season entry has Mayberry celebrating Founders’ Day by randomly selecting a passerby to be their Guest …
The Prisoner: Arrival (2009) TV Show
Back in the 1960’s, Patrick McGoohan masterminded a very strange and peculiar show for British television that aired for one crazy season. It was an intellectual show that could easily stagger and boggle the mind of the average person. In 2009, AMC aired an updated version of …
Undercovers: Pilot TV Show
One of the new dramatic shows for the 2010 Fall TV season is called Undercovers:. It has a very big action beginning that is very spy like. That, of course, is appropriative since this hour long show is indeed about a couple of spies. This first …
Here Come the Brides: The Man of the Family
Here Come the Brides: The Man of the Family is a really warm and tender story of Seattle’s reverend falling in love with one of the New Bedford brides, a woman named Polly (Loretta Leversee). She returns the affection, only she has a little problem that no one …
The Virginian: A Distant Fury
There were a few interesting things about The Virginian: A Distant Fury, which aired during the first season of this NBC western The story focuses on the character of Steve Hill, played by Gary Clarke. There’s a bit of Judge Henry Garth (Lee J. Cobb) thrown in, …
The Andy Griffith Show: High Noon in Mayberry TV Show
Leo Gordon returns to The Andy Griffith Show playing an ex-con named Luke Comstock in this 1963 episode entitled High Noon in Mayberry. The main comedy thrust comes from the wrong analysis of Barney Fife (Don Knotts) when reading a letter that his friend, Sheriff Andy Taylor (Griffith) …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 15: Station Identification
The Ghostbusters find themselves bored as there hasn’t been any business for three weeks. It’s kind of weird how one episode has them exhausted from too much work, and then the next episode, they’re upset that there aren’t any new clients. I guess it’s the nature of …
Dancing with the Stars - 3/23/09
It was another entertaining Dancing with the Stars show as the celebrities danced for the judges and tried their best to avoid being eliminated. There were several highlights for me.
First, Ty Murray has really come a long way. This rodeo rider who began with two left feet …
Stargate SG-1: Cure
In Stargate SG-1: Cure, we get more history of the Tok’ra. In fact, we meet their queen, who has been used as a laboratory rat of sorts for ages by the Pangorans, who claim ignorance once the discovery was made.
It becomes a bit of an ethical debate. The …
Jumong: An MBC Series
Jumong, a Korean series is really a good historical drama. I have never been following any historical series or movies of Korean nature. I usually watch more of the European wars, and or Chinese historical movies. Jumong is the first I watched from Korea, and all the characters are …
Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer: 9-17-10 TV Show
Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer from September 17, 2010 was another disastrous TV show. There is just so little of interest in this hour.
First of all, there is a crazy bit about changing their seating sides because of Alexis’ hair. That woman is so shallow. I’ve …
Da Vincis Demons (tv series)
During the year I found a few series I started watching, but most of them were discovered by way of the internet. I actually found out about this one when it began advertising on the cable television channel, Starz, a little before the series Spartacus was set to have …
The Event: Protect Them from the Truth TV Show
My problem with The Event: Protect Them from the Truth, which is the third episode of the series, is that we open with another big crash, probably intentional, but the point is that Jason Ritter’s Sean Walker survives, again, when everyone else dies. How many lives that he …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Martian TV Show
While watching this February 1992 The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Martian episode, I was never sure where the story was going to lead. I kept making assumptions that proved not to be exactly correct. I liked that and maybe that’s why I kept watching and trying to …
Psych: Murder, anyone, anyone, bueller?
After it’s first season, the show Psych has gotten a bit stale. But, one of the more recent episodes “Murder…anyone…anyone…Bueller” isn’t too bad compared to many of the other newer episodes.
This one takes place at Sean and Gus’ high school reunion and Sean witnesses a classmate falling from the …
The Phone show
I’m almost afraid to admit that I’ve been watching The Phone. After all, it’s on MTV and it’s from the mind of Justin Timberlake. Now that’s scary!
The Phone is an overly dramatic program that has made stunt people very happy. The stunt bill must be enormous for …
Star Trek: The Terratin Incident TV Show
Star Trek: The Terratin Incident is a fun little animated show that focuses on the crew of the Enterprise shrinking. From November 1973, the half hour children’s program has Kirk and company passing through a flash of light which both disables their dilithium crystals and also causes the …

What …
Jeepers Creepers 2
When the movie Jeepers Creepers came out a few years ago, I thought it was one of the better horror movies I’ve seen. In fact, I haven’t seen the movie in quite some time but can still remember pretty much the entire thing; a sign of a good movie.
I …
The Andy Griffith Show: Barney and the Choir TV Show
From season two, The Andy Griffith Show: Barney and the Choir is a hoot. It has story problems in terms of continuity, but you just can’t beat this for entertainment.
This is a theme that was repeated multiple times over the course of this series while Don Knotts was …
House of Payne show
I have watched this show called house of Payne quite a few times. In general I really like it. It’s funny and entertaining. I watch it quite a bit now. Some episodes aren’t as good as others but that is true with any show. I like this show because …
Gilligan’s Island - The Second Ginger Grant TV Show
I have to admit this episode gets me confused every time I watch it. My head spins when Maryann becomes Ginger and Gilligan takes on Maryann’s personality. Mind things like this are difficult for me to swallow. I did enjoy watching Ginger perform in the opening scene. She shows …
Highway Patrol: Blast Area Copter TV Show
Highway Patrol continues its first season with a show called Blast Area Copter. I suppose the title serves the show in that for a large portion of it Broderick Crawford’s Chief Dan Mathews riding around in it. Actually, elements of the story are more interesting than it …
Cowboy Beboop Episode 15 (Anime)
Cowboy Bebop Episode 15 has Jet, Faye, and Spike going after a con man named Whitney Hagas Matsumoto, a man Faye knew and we learn about her past.
This was a great episode because it gave Faye Valentine a back-story and revealed more about her, and why she has a …
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: The Orb Scholar
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: The Orb Scholar begins with a recap of the Orb, first seen in the pilot episode of this series. Humorously, the magical orb is labeled as a UFO - unearthed foreign object. When last seen, the orb was floating down the …

This review focuses on the third episode to air of Masterchef, the newest cooking show to air on the Fox Network. All of the contestants who were given aprons in the first two hours of televised auditions, now have to be meted down to a workable group. …
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Fountain of Youth
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Fountain of Youth gives John Bly haters a chance to smile. Or does it? That’s a question that we’ll have to wait and see, but the fun part is watching Bly be foiled, right when he thinks he’s about to get …
MASH: Der Tag
I haven’t seen the MASH episode Der Tag before but I have to admit, after finally seeing it, it was kind of cute. Not hillarious, but entertaining none the less.
It falls shortly after Colonel Potter joins the unit but before Frank Burns leaves and involves B.J. and Hawkeye having …
Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Grand Opening
The third season of Curb wraps up in style as the restaurant finally opens, Larry insults and injures a particularly harsh food critic, Cheryl gets caught in a car wash and a foul mouthed tourettes suffering French chef causes concern for the investors.
While the third season has been …
Everybody Hates Chris show
When I saw the previews for this new show, I knew instantly that I would be drawn to it. Aside from enjoying Chris Rock’s honest brand of humor, I noticed that several colorful character actors were on board for the laughs. Tichina Arnold and Terry Crews do a …
