HI-Jinks! TV Show
This show started it’s first season on NICK @ Nite, in the Summer of 2005.
It was decently funny, but got old fairly quick.
The point was to have parents prank their kids with the help of the host (Layla Spettanni), and at the end, they would have a celebrity …
Hogan’s Hero TV Episode: Will the Real Adolf Please Stand Up
I had a chance to catch a re-run of Hogan’s Heroes while at home for lunch today; “Will the Real Adolf Please Stand Up.”
I came in a bit late to see the first few minutes of the episode so, in all honesty, I can’t tell you exactly what was …
A Man Called Hawk: Intensive Care
A Man Called Hawk: Intensive Care is a change of pace in that it’s your classic stand off in a public place, complete with hostages. It all begins with an armored car robbery that really wasn’t handled very well. In the first place, that robbery was horribly …
Aeon Flux
I can remember watching the show Aeon Flux on late night MTV. It was an intriguing show at the time about an undercover agent on various missions. I was so pleased when I saw that a movie was going to made and Charlize Theron was the star. I think …
Gilligan’s Island - Pass the Vegetables Please TV Show
This episode is rather interesting. I think the producer is presenting a real problem that we are fighting with in our world. The use of experimental growth experiments on our food. And he actually poses a real problem in an appropriate manner somehow intermingling the idea into a family …
Scrubs TV Episode: My First Day
Synopsis: Series premiere of the show introduces Dr. Dorian as he starts serving his residency at the hospital for the first time and meets the people who are working there with him.
What I liked about this episode: I think the best part of this episode, for me at least, …
Trading Spouses
I find the TV reality show Trading Spouses truly awesome. Actually, I have a very bad impression of the show when I initially started watching, but after some time, I’ve gotten the message of the show and noticing how some families featured are indeed having a bigger problem issue …
Titanic: The Mission Part 4 TV Show
This review is for the fourth installment out of five called Titanic: The Mission. The documentary production was made by the British and had the unique stance of honoring the engineers who built the Titanic versus simply doing a tribute to the disaster itself.
The biggest focus of the …
Private Eye: Blue Hotel Part 2
Private Eye: Blue Hotel Part 2 picks up where the cliffhanger part 1 ended, at the end of the funeral for Billy Ray, a rock and roller whose life was cut short before he even truly realized his success.
Music has been integral in Private Eye from its first episode …
Home Improvement: Young at Heart
It’s good working half days for a week because I get to see some shows I might not get a chance to see when I’m working all day (too bad that starts next week). One of the shows, Home Improvement, is one I’ve missed a bit.
The episode that showed …
The Fugitive: The Iron Maiden
The first thing I noticed when I watched The Fugitive: The Iron Maiden again was that it guest starred Richard Anderson. Anderson was one of TV’s most used actors from the 60’s to the 80’s. He was on absolutely everything at one point at another, and like …
Due South: The Gift of the Wheelman
In Due South: The Gift of the Wheelman, it’s the Christmas season, and Benton and Ray are out doing their shopping when a bank robbery occurs nearby. The hold up is done by men dressed in Santa Claus suits, and as they make their getaway, one trips and …
Gilligan’s Island -The Producer TV Show
Here we are again graced with another famous guest actor Harold Hecuba, a TV producer, played by Phil Silvers. So of course Ginger is second main actor in this show. I didn’t like the way this Hecuba character treated the castaways, more like they are lower than him instead …
M*A*S*H: None Like It Hot
M*A*S*H: None Like It Hot deals with the latest heat wave to hit the 4077th as the Korean War rages on. It seems odd that this show precedes one that talks about a wind storm. Korea must have a lot of quick changing weather.
The thrust of None …
The Middle: Christmas
My wife and I got a chance to watch the new TV series called The Middle last night, specifically their episode “Christmas.”
I’m not sure but I believe this is a spin off of the show Malcolm in the Middle, a series I never watched. But, I will admit, this …
Made TV Show
Made is a show on MTV designed for kids who want to make a change in their life. The kids who are on made want to make themselves into something that they currently are not. I watched an episode where there was a girl who typically is o the …
M*A*S*H: Movie Tonight
From the fifth season, M*A*S*H: Movie Tonight is a really enjoyable outing for this comedy television series. It’s fun and lively, and I’ve always enjoyed it. Most of the episode centers around a long-awaited movie night. The picture is one that Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) …
Highway Patrol: Deadly Diamonds TV Show
From December 1958, Highway Patrol: Deadly Diamonds was an okay half hour, but the entertainment value wasn’t as strong as some other outings simply because it’s a stale plot. We’ve seen jewelry thieves on the show before, and we’ve also seen three person teams.
Frankly, the set up for …
Burn Notice: Breaking and Entering
Burn Notice: Breaking and Entering is the first episode of the second season, and it’s the conclusion of a sort of cliffhanger, meaning there’s a lot of history that a new viewer such as myself needs to pick up on in terms of knowing the story.
One of the things …
Louis and the Nazis (2003)
In one of his more recent films, Louis Theroux travels to America to investigate the Neo-Nazi movement. It’s one of his more daring and uncomfortable endeavours; opting for more head on investigation than the lighter distractions his Weird Weekend series had to offer, but all the same, Theroux carries …
Ghost Hunters: Toys of Terror
I watched another season three episode of Ghost Hunters over the weekend and have to say it was entertaining.
In “Toys of Terror” the TAPS team is asked to investigate a house by a woman who is terrified of the things she has seen and heard there. What’s interesting about …
TV show Survivor
The TV show Survivor premiered in the United States in 2000 on CBS and became a huge hit that year. I remember the show that year because I was still in school and had plenty of free time to watch the show and get obsessed about it.
Jeff Probst …
MacGyver: Birth Day
In MacGyver: Birth Day, a pregnant woman discovers her ex-convict husband has been using her. She thought they were building a halfway house to help people, only to discover he was using the ex-cons for his own schemes and turning the halfway house into a crime syndicate. …
Voyagers!: Voyagers of the Titanic
As a student of the great ship Titanic, any story about it, fictional or otherwise, intrigues me. It should come as no surprise then when I say that Voyagers!: Voyagers of the Titanic is a show I enjoy watching a great deal. I say this even though …
The X-Files Patience Episode
I found this particular episode quite interesting. In fact I think I could put it on my list of the most memorable X-Files episodes I have watched, not because it has some sort of a twist but because of how things were written, the costuming, acting and so on. …
FOX TV’s Glee TV Series
When I first heard about Glee, I didn’t want to start watching it. But I started watching videos on YouTube with the actors and I realized that it must be a really interesting thing to watch.
First, if you don’t know what Glee is about —“ it takes place in …
The Andy Griffith Show: Opie’s Rival TV Show
This is the show that just has never made sense to me. It’s the third season of The Andy Griffith Show, and we’ve already had four or so episodes that deal with Sheriff Andy Taylor’s relationship with Nurse Peggy McMillan. During this time, little Opie Taylor (Ron …
The Singing Bee
Filipinos love music. I guess everyone else does. But music is the most closest to every Filipinos heart compared to other mediums of art. Because of this, videoke (video karaoke) and magic sing microphones sells like rice congee. And television networks have invested in this opportunity by staging singing …
Devices and Desires - Part 5
There’s a surprising event in this fifth installment of Devices and Desires. It’s not all that shocking, but at the same time, it turned the murder investigation upside down.
P.D. James has written numerous mysteries for his central character, Commander Adam Dalgliesh, to solve. Always well dressed and …
Star Trek: The Cage TV Show
The Cage is the original pilot for the legendary Star Trek television series. Written by creator Gene Roddenberry, it’s the true beginnings of this science fiction classic. However, there are many differences between it and the show that is now so recognizable to millions.
I actually like the …
Shroud for a Nightingale - Part 3
Chief Superintendent Adam Dalgliesh (Roy Marsden) is searching for the killer of two women. The first, Heather Pearce, was poisoned during a training session for the nurses. The second, Jo Fallon, was poisoned in her bed. Fallon was pregnant, adding all kinds of drama to the …
Star Trek: The Cage - Extended Version TV Show
The beginning of the Star Trek legacy was back in 1966 with a pilot produced by Gene Roddenberry called The Cage. No one could imagine that this would be the birth of a legendary show that would last well beyond Roddenberry’s lifetime. In the mid-eighties with the …
Avatar: The Last Airbender Episode 18 (Animated)

Stargate SG1: The Fifth Race
Daniel wants to go to a planet because he believes that the planet contains information about the meaning of life stuff he saw on Ernest’s planet. When the team arrives, they search and find nothing. Jack insists they leave and walks across something on the floor. …
Swingtown
I’d intentionally waited for a few weeks after this series debuted before reviewing it because I wanted to get a better sense of what the show is about. The first episode was pure sex, or pretty much so anyway, with the climax (pardon the pun!) being the swapping between …
21 Jump Street - Swallowed Alive Season 3, Episode 9
“Swallowed Alive” may be one of the most intense episodes throughout any season of 21 Jump Street.
While Fuller is gone on vacation, the higher ups send all of his men into juvenile lock-up in order to find out who killed an inmate. Or rather, who is …
Monk TV series
Monk is a show on the USA network. It’s about a private detective that’s been put on leave from the local police department when he had a psychological break down after the death of his wife. Mr. Monk is an excellent detective and although he’s no longer part of …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Two: Frankendoodle
I would have to say that this is one of the worst Spongebob Squarepants episodes I have ever seen. I am a huge fan of Spongebob, but I truly feel like this one was a disappointment big time. In this episode, a pencil falls from the sky in lands …
Arrested Development TV Show
I really like the television show arrested development. The show is now in its 3rd season and each season has been absolutly hilarious. the story of the show is that a father gets sent to prison, and his son is trying to take care of his family while his …
King of the Hill
I love King of the Hill. It’s not as funny as say, Family Guy, but it is worth watching and I find it addictive. The characters are round enough that you get to know them and are interested in their stories, even though it is just animation. I love …
Batman: The Brave and the Bold: Mayhem of the music meister!
This episode is a gem. If ever there was a doubt in anyone’s mind that this show ruled, this episode eliminated it, all of it.
I mean come on, it’s a lavish superhero musical with a villain voiced by Neil Patrick freakin’ Harris. What more do …
CSI Season 2 Episode 11- Organ Grinder
CSI Season 2 Episode 11- Organ Grinder
It was a really nice episode but still, there was something in it, which gave me the feeling that things did not really add up, even at the very end when the crack the case. The thing I liked the best about this …
George Lopez
I’ve been making an effort to watch the television show George Lopez at night when there’s nothing else good on TV. While the show has some funny moments in it, it’s not the best comedy I’ve seen on television.
Maybe I have to be latino to understand a lot of …
Birds of Prey episode 9: Nature of the Beast
Reese’s father makes his return, this time played by Mitch Pileggi. The script hangs a pretty heavy lampshade on the fact that he’s played by a different person. Several characters comment on how different he looks and how he’s not the Hawk that they had known before. …
Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: Challenge TV Show
I liked a few things about Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: Challenge, starring David Carradine as Kwai Chang Caine and Chris Potter as his son, Peter Caine, who is now a police detective. It’s the father and son relationship and the journey that evolves from the first to …
Dancing With the Stars: S11, Wk 4 Performance TV Show
Dancing With the Stars, Week 4 of the 11th season, was another entertaining show. I’m not really that crazy about all of the celebrities performing on the show this season, but they have been better than anticipated. This show was different, too, because it was performed in …
Project Runway Season 1 Episode 2
There is something to be said for a person with a great sense of humor, and Jay Carroll proves he’s that person in this episode.
The episode opens up with Heidi on the runway along with the models. The designers get the opportunity to either keep their original model or …
Mr. Potter Takes a Rest Cure
“Mr. Potter Takes a Rest Cure” is another episode in the charming warm and fuzzy BBC series “Wodehouse Playhouse” (see my reviews for other episodes and for the series as a whole. In this episode an American publisher, Mr. Potter (played by Alan MacNaughtan) and a rising English politician …
GirlFriends
Girlfriends is a very funny and cool show. I used to think it was dumb when I first watched it. But then I started liking it. The reason I got into it was because of Persia White. I thought she was very pretty. Then when I started watching the show …
