The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 57: Janine’s Day Off
Janine finally gets some vacation time, and uses it to bring Egon to meet her folks. I know that she’s crushing on Egon, but this seems to imply that they are in a bona fide relationship. Egon even says that he’s not ready to meet her folks. …
The Beast: The Complete First Season DVD Set
The Beast: The Complete First Season DVD Set contains three disks in slim packs, 2 in the first and one in the other. There is a ‘play all’ option for the episodes, which I consider to be crucial. Each of the first two disks has four episodes …
Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Episode 1.15: Trespass
Why oh why did they bother writing this episode? Or more so, what is the point of ‘filler’ episodes like this one? If you know you’re gonna have empty spaces in your TV show’s season, why make extra space for episodes? Anyway, “Trespass” has one of those characters in …
Highway Patrol: False Confession TV Show
In its fourth year, Highway Patrol presented this show entitled False Confession, which was the eleventh to air in that air.
This December 1958 outing was a little different in the theme. It’s a story they hadn’t done before, and I like that originality. Basically, a woman turns …
The Simpsons
The Simpsons is probably one of the best shows ever made. This show is just awesome. I really enjoy watching the wacky episodes they come up with in this show. This is one of the funniest shows ever created.
My favorite character on The Simpsons is probably Homer. The reason …
CSI Season 6 Episode 3 Bite Me
Although this episode did not involve any super dramatic events or incredible mysteries; the way it was shot made it really amazing. I think the most amazing aspect of it, was the way they filmed it. The camera and editing style have managed to deliver a real sense of, …
The Girls Next Door show
How can you not love The Girls Next Door, a show based on the girls and Hugh Hefner. I love this show. It’s mind candy. My fiance thinks it’s funny that I’m female and I have to watch the show every time it’s on. I even have a season …
The Office: Money
This season of The Office has several hour-long episodes. I think they may be a mistake. I enjoy The Office but it is best in short chunks. At first, I just thought these longer episodes were just weaker writing, but the writing has been good, I just find myself …
Justice League Unlimited: The Greatest Story Never Told
The Greatest Story Never told is everything that I love about Justice League Unlimited. The plot is simple but mostly irrelevant. A powerful magician is attacking Metropolis and everyone in the league is sent to stop him, but this story isn’t really about that.
This story is about Booster Gold. …
Scrubs Season One - My Mentor
I think that any episode in Scrubs Season One is important to watch to get a feel for learning the characters and what they are about. J.D. is finally starting to get comfortable about the procedures he is doing on real patients. All of the interns are …
Stargate SG-1: Point of View
Season three of Stargate SG-1 gives us what feels like the annual alternate universe/reality story when the quantum mirror from episode one’s There But For the Grace of God episode is activated by another reality. Thus we get two Sam Carters in Stargate SG-1: Point of View. It …
Psych: Ghosts
When Psych first came on the air, I only watched it because it was the show that was on after Monk. But, I have to admit the show is growing on me enough where I’m willing to tune in to USA just to watch it.
The newest episode, Ghosts, was …
The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 2: The Host
A monster of the week episode should, by all accounts, be difficult to pull off, what with the X-files being closed and all. Still, we manage to get a classic one here. The “flukeman” has become one of the iconic X-files monsters and, after watching this episode, …
Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends
It used to be I would only tune into Cartoon Network for their Adult Swim line up after 9:30 at night. Now, I’m watching almost all the time in no small part to their show Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends.
Centering around a foster home for abandoned imaginary friends, the …
Forensic Files
Forensic science is not that new, at least to Sherlock Holmes fans, but it is is real life. Forensic Files is seen on Court TV, which is going to be known as Tru TV starting in January 2008. They set out to solve murders that seem to be unsolvable …
Sea Hunt: The Lost Ones TV Show
In 2010, Jeff Bridges finally won an Academy Award. Decades earlier, he was playing a young boy in his father’s TV series. The series was an underwater adventure show called Sea Hunt, and the star was Lloyd Bridges. Both of Lloyd’s sons, Jeff and Beau, had …
The Flash TV Season 2, Episode 10: Potential Energy
The teaser brought some worry for me because it showed the most used material of all and probably what all superheroes have nightmares - losing someone they love at the hands of their archenemies.
It was tried and tested and while this was scary, I wished the show came in …
Stargate SG-1: Forever in a Day
What do you do when you feel like your character is being held back? For Michael Shanks on Stargate SG-1, the answer was ask the producers to change the direction. The issue at hand was Daniel’s wife, Sha’re, who had been taken host by the Goa’uld and …
Shark show
Shark stars James Woods.
Any show with James Woods is okay with me. I truly feel that he is the country’s finest actor and can carry a show by himself. In this case he does, as the show is not special in any way. The writers need …
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 …
Married with Children TV Episode: The Poker Game
Synopsis: Al’s neighbor Steve joins in on a friendly poker game and ends up losing his paycheck; only to later try to convince Al to give him the money back before his wife finds out.
What I liked about this episode: When I saw the title and the description of …
CHiPs: Pilot
The pilot for CHiPs aired on September 15, 1977 and introduced the world to the lives of two California Highway Patrol officers, Jon Baker and Frank Poncherello, played by Larry Wilcox and Erik Estrada. On the surface, they were different as night and day, but they were partners …
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Wilmer Bass and the Serengeti Kid
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Wilmer Bass and the Serengeti Kid is supposed to be a bit comedic and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.
Elisha Cook guest stars and he’s a hoot. He would be a positive reason to watch this episode. He has a wide range …
CSI New York Season 3 Episode 12- Silent Night
It wasn’t one of the best episodes on the show. The themes were quite sad, but not every interesting. The show tells two stories.
In the first story, in a house is the suburbs. The whole family is death. A woman goes to check up on her little baby before …
Doctor Who: Season 1, Episode 3: The Unquiet Dead
Having seen the future, the Doctor decides to take Rose back in time to the mid 1800’s. While he aims for the year 1860, he ends up taking the TARDIS to 1869, and to a different town no less.
They arrive to find the town plagued by …
Sea Hunt: Underwater Beacon TV Show
Sea Hunt’s 27th episode of its third season was called Underwater Beacon, so named mostly from a piece of equipment deep sea diver Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) was checking out for the United States Coast Guard.
Though not my favorite stories as a rule, I do like to see the …
The Twilight Zone: To Serve Man
This is an episode of “The Twilight Zone” which both my boyfriend and I enjoy more than many other episodes. I think it has also been seen as one of the more popular episodes of the television series which aired from 1959 to 1964. This might be because this …
Melrose Place
In the nineteen nineties, I had gotten very used to living around the local television stations’ boring and unpredictable schedule. They would often sometimes bring cricket matches on both channels when I expected to see Saturday morning cartoons, and on Sundays, they brought absolutely nothing which appealed to …
Wanted: Dead or Alive: The Bounty TV Show
Wanted: Dead or Alive: The Bounty, the third episode to air of this western series which starred Steve McQueen, aired in September 1958. Frankly, I had a really tough time getting into this outing. It began strangely in my opinion, and as it progressed, my attention wasn’t …
Alias Smith and Jones: A Fistful of Diamonds
Alias Smith and Jones: A Fistful of Diamonds is a fun little outing for this western series starring Pete Duel as Hannibal Heyes and Ben Murphy as Kid Curry. This one has the two outlaws who are trying to go straight so that they can earn an amnesty …
The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 8: One Breath
Just as Scully’s mother is preparing her daughter’s headstone, the abducted FBI agent appears in a hospital bed, seemingly out of thin air. None of the doctors have any idea how she got there, who admitted her, or even what her condition is beyond being comatose.
This episode is …
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 …
Two And A Half Men: Pinocchio’s Mouth
“Pinocchio’s Mouth” is the episode of Two And A Half Men on CBS originally airing on November 17, 2008. This was just an average episode with no really big laughs.
The overall premise was not all that funny. Basically, we know that Charlie is set in his ways. …
Junior Apprentice Episode 2 TV Show
Junior Apprentice Episode 2 continued the process where Lord Alan Sugar would be selecting a junior apprentice. Now the pool is comprised of teenagers seeking a prize of 25,000 pounds that would be overseen by Lord Sugar to ensure the young entrepreneurs don’t waste the funds on some …
The Twilight Zone: Eye of the Beholder TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Eye of the Beholder is one of the best episodes of this science fiction series. It’s a poignant narration about mankind and our perceptions. It’s a wonderfully strong story, one told in the shadows for a reason. The story is a futuristic one. …
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 …
Friends - The one where Emma cries
Rachel is very happy to be home from the hospital with Emma, after having a rough few days at the hospital. Rachel sends Ross out to the store because they forgot to bring home the diapers from the hospital, and she is left with Monica and Phoebe who are …
Voyagers!: Merry Christmas, Bogg
Honestly, I’d forgotten just how much Meeno Peluce cried during the Voyagers! series. He could compete with Doris Day, June Allyson, and Margaret O’Brien for being able to turn those tears on and off. It’s amazing. However, it’s not the best crier. He’s just able to …
Star Trek’s Divine Diva: Nichelle Nichols featurette
Star Trek’s Divine Diva: Nichelle Nichols featurette was a very nice look at the wonderful actress who brought Star Trek’s communication officer, Uhura, to life.
One thing that has always struck me about Nichelle is how much she cared about what she was doing. She doesn’t talk about it …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Bank Job TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: The Bank Job aired back in the show’s third season, which was 1962-1963. The episode is a vehicle for Don Knotts as Deputy Barney Fife. Everyone knows how Barney is when he gets something in his mind. He gets overzealous, and that …
The Good Wife: Running TV Show
As respects the season ending episode of The Good Wife called Running, I’m going to start before I watch the show and guess that the promo they’ve been showing all over television ad nauseam of a crucial decision making moment for Alicia actually takes place in the last seconds …
Undercover Boss: White Castle
One of the owners of White Castle went undercover as a new employee in Undercover Boss. Dave Rife was the brave soul who spent a week in his White Castle operations and learned first hand how things really are in his restaurants.
I was fascinated with how their sliders …
The X-Files: Season 1, Episode 11: Eve
I remember seeing this episode years back and not being all that impressed with it. Watching it again, however, it’s really quite good. The plot is intriguing, the mystery isn’t easily solved and it keeps you guessing throughout. It’s also quite creepy and atmospheric, using a …
The Twilight Zone: The Last Night of a Jockey TV Show
The fact that it’s the fifth season really shows for The Twilight Zone. There are several shows in a row that I just don’t like, and The Last Night of a Jockey from October 1963 is another one of them. The stories had some good actors, but …
Alias Smith and Jones: The Great Shell Game
Alias Smith and Jones: The Great Shell Game is really nicely done. As I said in my last review for the prior episode, however, it’s a show where the two stars, Pete Duel and Ben Murphy, are separated. In fact, they don’t have a single scene together. …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Odds for Big Red TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Odds for Big Red, the fourth show of season five, gets right to the action, and I question it. It is funny to me that Paladin has a lot of imperfections. Maybe that’s why the show worked. He’s almost an anti-hero, …
American Idol
Although I do watch the show from time to time, I do not necessarily like it. The idea of the show is nice:finding this special one American singer-idol- But the question is: Is it really fair to let people decide and judge. Is it logical to let somebody who …
