It took me a very long time to watch the popular American television series “Ally McBeal” since I didn’t have cable television for years, and then when my parents finally got cable television and I was either too busy to watch it when it was on, or I could …

Last night’s episode of House, “Don’t Ever Change” brought back what was always good about the series, an actual medical mystery that has his team racing against the clock to determine the illness before their patient dies.
Adding to the mystery was the fact the patient is a former record …

I like Gisele Bundchen’s accent so much. If you have the chance to catch the episode on Ellen Talk Show, featuring Gisele Bundchen, you have to not give this a miss.
Although I have read somewhere that she is a strict person and all that, I do think that she …

“Employee Transfer” is the seventh episode of season five of The Office on NBC. This episode was heavily focused on Holly’s transfer to New Hampshire. Michael decides to take the seven-hour tril with her, and somehow Daryl ends up with the thankless task of driving them both and …

From March 2004, NBC aired Whoopi: The Squatters. Whoopi stars comedian Whoopi Goldberg as Mavis Rae, owner of the Hotel Lamont. Guest starring in this episode is the wonderful Celeste Holm. She’s a resident at the Hotel Lamont who is suffering a bit of senility. …

M*A*S*H: Heroes is unusually intriguing. I didn’t remember seeing this one originally, though I know I did, but my reason for mentioning that is that I had assumed the story was going to have a certain plot that never came to fruition. Instead, I was surprised by …

Avatar: The Last Airbender Episode 20 begins with the Fire Nation continuing their attack on the Water Tribe and Aang has been captured by Zuko. Sokka and Katara are searching for Aang, hoping to rescue him before it’s too late.
This episode was really intense and exciting and was …

Since I am British and since up until this election campaign we had never before had an American style live TV debate, I was extremely interested to see how this one would play out. ITV won the battle to stage the first of what will be three debates, and …

One of my latest favorite shows is called Swift Justice. It is not your typical court show. It is much more casual than other shows like Judge Judy or Judge Alex. This show has heart, and the hostess is no nonsense.
The premise of this show is for Nancy …

In M*A*S*H: The Gun, Warren Stevens guest stars as Colonel Chaffey, an injured man who checks in a valuable Colt .45 gun that he carries around with him. When the gun disappears, Radar O’Reilly (Gary Burghoff) gets blamed for the loss. The truth is that Frank Burns …

We get our first glimpse at the Earth benders in this episode. Aang and crew head to the kingdom of Omashu. Given his status as Avatar, Kitara recommends a disguise. Aang scoffs at the idea, asking what kind. It turns out that the disguise is …

I have problems with The Solid Gold Patrol episode of Have Gun - Will Travel from season 2. The basic premise is that a corporal in the army has won the New Orleans lottery which was worth $600,000. I must admit straight up that I didn’t even …

I’m not so sure about the cases Dr. House has been getting on the show House lately; they just don’t seem to stand out any more. But, I have to say the episode “Joy” really got me thinking and left me a bit depressed.
We found out last week that …

In The Prisoner: Hammer Into Anvil, we have another repeat Number Two, the mysterious controlling power of The Village where Patrick McGoohan’s Number Six is being held prisoner by an unnamed group that wants information from him which he refuses to give. The Number Two character tends to …

The Andy Griffith Show: Mayberry Goes Hollywood is another enjoyable outing from this TV series, which has always been a high quality family program.
In this episode, a Hollywood producer comes to Mayberry and asks permission to shoot some of his movie there. He even wants to use some …

This special program is exactly what it says, a celebration of the Grand Old Opry. Damaged in the flood that devastated Nashville in May 2010, the Opry has been repaired and is back in business. That’s why this Country Comes Home: An Opry Celebration was held, to …

Typically “Justice League Unlimited” focused on the less famous members of the Justice league and that is good. It adds depth to the D.C. universe which isn’t in most cartoons because they need to focus on a few characters.
The second thing it does is serve as a contrast to …

These commercials are soooo funny. I like the one where the three guys are at a hot party. At first, because you see the first one wearing a white shirt and black tie, you think that he is just a guest. But by the time …

Alias Smith and Jones: Wrong Train to Brimstone is an important show for the series in that it’s the very first time we meet the character of Harry Briscoe as played with wit and brilliance by J.D. Cannon. Cannon is probably best known for being Sam McCloud’s boss …

Again, my problem with the Shout Factory DVD release of this show, and others that they’ve done, is how inconvenient the layout is. Since this is only a four-disk set, it’s not as bad as others, but what they tend to do is put two DVDs on the …

Lori Colson and Brad Chase were defending Susan May, charged for the murder of her husband. The accused caught her husband making love to a business associate and she fired 3 shots to her husband and 3 shots the the paramour. This caused the instantaneous death of both victims. …

The Andy Griffith Show: Gomer the House Guest is a classic episode of this great comedic television series. It always makes me laugh, no matter how many times I’ve seen it, and I have seen it more times than I can count in my lifetime.
There is one problem. …

“Moroccan Christmas” is the episode of The Office airing on NBC on December 11, 2008. This episode was not nearly as entertaining as past Christmas episodes and was actually depressing as it focused on alcoholism and affairs.
The start of the show was the best part, with …

From December 1968, The Virginian: Nora is a family show of sorts, in that series stars John McIntire (as Clay Grainger) and Jeanette Nolan (as Holly Grainger) also appear with their son, Tim McIntire, who has a minor role as an Army lieutenant. Still, they do have scenes …

From April 1984, Masquerade: Spanish Gambit was an entertaining show to watch. It had a good supporting cast, a tad of humor, and a bit more reality to it. Part of the problem of this series in its first episodes is that nothing severe ever went wrong. …

I was really excited when I found out that this episode gave more insight into what put Gideon on leave from being in the field. He made a bad call during a bombing evacuation and lost a bunch of FBI agents in the process. He actually has to enlist …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Show of Force from season one pits Paladin in the middle of a range war. However, before we get there, there’s some comedy involved. Paladin loves to play poker. He makes a bet with a man during a game in San …

As I mentioned before, I started watching re-runs of the show Scrubs on TV whenever I get a chance (and there’s nothing better on). One of the episodes I ended up watching Sunday was entitled “My Day at the Races.”
This one was actually pretty good. JD is turning 30 …

Ancient Mysteries is a show on the History Channel. Each episode is about another event in history about which there is some controversy. The episode entitled The Quest for the Fountain of Youth tells the story of Juan Ponce de León y Figueroa, a Spanish conquistador who “discovered” …

The invasion is set to begin. Sokka’s father has gathered allies (ie characters who have appeared in previous episodes) to help in the attack. It’s kind of interesting to see all these seemingly one time characters all come back together. I was hoping Bumi would show up, …

Due South: Heaven and Earth brings the psychic realm into focus after a man has a confusing dream about a medallion, a young woman, and a Canadian Mountie.
There’s more in this episode about Ray Vecchio’s sister, Francesca. In fact, I must apologize because I believe I accidentally wrote …

I’m afraid that Burn Notice: Rough Seas did nothing to hold my interest. I didn’t like the plot or the unfamiliar guest stars. Well, I did recognize one of the actors from The UNIT — Max Martini, but he doesn’t make me want to watch anything. …

In an odd sort of way, Ice Road Truckers: A Rookie’s Nightmare felt a bit like the karma show, the one in which some of the drivers got at least a small taste of what has been due them for a while.
For example, Hugh, nicknamed the polar bear, is …

I wanted to give a review on my favorite thing on TV that begins its season in January every year… and that is 24, with Kiefer Sutherland. This show revolves around a ficticious unit of the US Gov’t and its National Security called CTU (Counter Terrorism Unit). …

Monster Episode 18 has Anna Libert being questioned by police and they ask her if she knows anything about Dr. Tenma, she says she doesn’t and leaves. She sees her former boss Mister Rosso and they have dinner together, where she learns the truth about his past.
This was …

After the influence that I got from America’s Next Top Model, I was hooked in watching Tyra’s recently produced TV reality show, “Stylista”. Unlike Top Model wherein Tyra is hosting the show, Stylista has Anne Slowey from Elle Magazine hosting the show. It also stars Joe Zee, creative director …

This is actually a television series that both of the two room mates that I have had absolutely loved. They just had to watch it, so if I was in the room then I was watching it too. Honestly, it’s addicting but for all the wrong reasons. These days, …

As the episode opens, Rose gets a sudden urge to go see her father. He died when she was young and Rose was told that he died by himself. As she now has a time machine, she asks to be taken to him so that she can …

The Inner Circle/Hellfire club has the X-Men hostage and have equipped them with those collars that negate the X-gene, leaving them powerless.
The club is fairly amusing as they really are just a bunch of pretentious fops, Leland especially. It turns out the group isn’t as tightly …

From November 1956, Highway Patrol: Typhoid Carrier has Chief Dan Mathews (Broderick Crawford) and his California Highway Patrol dealing with a potential outbreak of typhoid in the small community of Indian Valley. The problem is a man who is a known carrier of the disease. Frightened when …

The Hungama is a kid’s channel where they telecast the cartoon show or serial called Doreman. The Doreman is a very interesting, entertaining and funny cartoon serial which my children love to watch. In this cartoon serial there is a robot future cat, and his friend Nobitha …

Voyagers!: Bully and Billy, episode 3 of the 1982 TV series, focused in on two main historical events. The first is the charge up San Juan Hill, only the problem is that Teddy Roosevelt has been killed by Billy the Kid. That’s the second focus of the …

What would a season of Family Guy be without a Road to—¦ episode? They seem to have become part of the infrastructure of a Family Guy season over the last few years and one thing I have noticed is that they are, most of the time, some of the …

For the most part, I like the show Bones. But, some episodes, like this week’s “the Princess and the Pear” tend to be a bit too dumb to be enjoyable.
This one decided to focus on the fantasy world many people enjoy living in. People who attend comic book conventions, …

The average fan of “Weeds,” tangled in the murky abyss of a dyspeptic and almost certainly unnecessary sixth season of the Showtime dramedy, will feel about a trillion miles away from everything/anything that made the show enjoyable to begin with. But this is OK, …

One of my very favourite children’s shows when I was still just a small child was the show “Professor Iris”. It used to come on a local television channel in the early afternoons right after I would come home from school so I think I might have been in …

I honestly believe the only reason Project Runway does team challenges is in an effort to create tension among the designers. I mean, who would have thought you could see Rami fight with anyone, especially Sweet Pea.
Last night’s challenge was definitely an interesting one though. The designers had to …

House MD is a show about a team of doctors that diagnose illnesses that other doctors can’t. This is a great show for a variety of reasons.
The actors in this are superb. Hugh Laurie is wonderful as quirky, grumpy House and his love interests Cameron and Cuddy …
