Sea Hunt: Decoy TV Show
Sea Hunt: Decoy was interesting because of how the story evolved. This story revolves around a deep sea diving expert, Mike Nelson, who is portrayed by Lloyd Bridges. He had to be in good shape since he’s in swim trunks and bare chested so much of the …
NCIS: Call Of Silence
This is one of my favorite NCIS episodes of all time. I still cry when I watch this episode. It is so full of emotion that even though I know what is going to happen and know the dialogue almost word for word, I still find myself …
Buck Rogers - The Fighting 69th
This episode used to freak me out as a little kid mainly because the disfigured villains were so cruel and their attempts to kill everyone on earth with nerve gas paled in comparison to their tormenting of a deaf girl and their attempt to set Buck Rogers on fire! …
The Ellen DeGeneres Show
The Ellen DeGeneres Show is an awesome show. I love Ellen! She is such a character and is always entertaining. Her show airs on NBC in the afternoons. If you haven’t seen it yet, give it a shot. I gaurantee you will be laughing in no time.
Ellens show …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Screaming Woman TV Show
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Screaming Woman opens for the second time with a introductory scene that is actually a bit of an adventure with Bradbury in the mountains holding a divining rod. Another man comes up to him, recognizing him as a sci fi writer. In …
Code Monkeys
Code Monkeys is a light-hearted TV shown on the G4 channel that parodies video-gaming and nerd culture in general. I like the show because of its indecision as to what kind of humor it portrays. At one minute it will be making poop jokes and underarm farts, while at …
Sleepy Hollow TV show, Season 1 Recall
When I read about a new supernatural procedural show through the writers mailinglist, my initial thought was, it was probably something along the vein of the TV show “Dresden” but broader in scope since Dresden was a wizard interacting with the police department. I thought maybe a private investigator with …
CNN
CNN is one of our family channels for few years now. We often hear the news telecast and the news presenters add life to the day when we hear the news every morning. These days we do not buy …
Fireball XL5: Faster Than Light
Fireball XL5: Faster Than Light is another good entry for this puppeteering TV show. There’s some action going on here, especially with Fireball XL5 having engine problems. There’s a bit where the ship goes incredibly fast, actually going faster than light speed. Seeing this on screen is …
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 15 (Anime)
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 15 has the Tachikomas discussing subjects that disturb the major because of their strange behavior recently and Section 9 is deciding what to do about them.
This was a very interesting episode because it shows that the Tachikomas are starting to think …
Diagnosis Murder: Witness to Murder TV Show
I don’t care much for Diagnosis Murder: Witness to Murder. There are some nice scenes with Dick Van Dyke as Dr. Mark Sloan trying to help a little girl named Blair who has been abused and doesn’t speak. He reaches her a little through drawing and such. …
Club808 Current Music Show
Presented by two young and trendy presenters (a local club deejay and a beautiful singer), who deliver the content in a fresh, vibey and trendy fashion, Club808 is certainly a hit with me and one Friday night show I have come to look forward too. What I like most …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Place for Abel Hix TV Show
From October 1962, Have Gun - Will Travel: Place for Abel Hix was the fourth outing for this western’s sixth season on the air. It would also be its last. One of the things that was really a bummer for this sixth season is that there wasn’t …
Scooby Doo Where Are You TV Episode: Bedlam in the Big Top
My oldest daughter has started watching Scooby Doo cartoons on a regular basis; both the newer shows and some of the first episodes from Scooby Doo Where Are You.
The other day, we sat down to watch the episode Bedlam in the Big Top. In this episode, Scooby and the …
Psych: Who Ya Going to Call
I ended up watching a bunch of Psych episodes before bed last night (it was a late night for us because of the baby). One of them, “Who Ya Going to Call” was a bit on the predictable side.
Shawn and Gus are hired by a guy who thinks he …
TMZ
TMZ is a show that tells you updated news about celebrities and famous people. The people that talk on it just stand around and show you videos and pictures and talk about the updated news with celebrities or famous people. It’s an alright show overall, I think that they …
Dawson’s Creeek Season 6 Episode 601 The Kids Are Alright
The Kids Are Alright, episode 601, opens in almost a way you’d expect this to the be last season because there is a montage at the beginning of the episode of all the characters. I love this show, but there are still parts of it that annoy me. …
The Twilight Zone: The Night of the Meek TV Show
My problem with The Twilight Zone: The Night of the Meek is that the first half bothers me too much. This is actually the holiday story of The Twilight Zone. It’s their Christmas tale, taking an alcoholic bum and turning him into Santa Claus. The bum, …
Xena: Warrior Princess TV Show
Xena: Warrior Princess TV Show was a TV show that starred Lucy Lawless as Xena and her sidekick Gabrielle. It was a spin-off from Hercules: The Legendary Journeys starring Kevin Sorbo.
Xenas story started on Hercules: TLJ, she was a ruthless warrior who was hell-bent on killing Hercules. …
The Simpsons: Viva Ned Flanders
I had almost forgotten just how funny Ned Flanders can be until coming across the older Simpsons episode entitled “Viva Ned Flanders.”
This is actually one of the better episodes of this show ever made; mostly because it is able to lead to other story lines later.
You have Ned revealing …
Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Terrorist Attack
Wanda pays a visit to Cheryl and Larry with some shocking news; a terrorist attack is about to go down in Los Angeles—¦at least according to a friend of a friend with a CIA contact.
There’s a lot going in this episode; Alanis Morrisette pops up as the act a …
Sea Hunt: Midget Submarine TV Show
Sea Hunt: Midget Submarine brought to mind memories of watching an old favorite show of mine, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. Now potentially the idea for the flying submarine could have come from Sea Hunt’s use of this midget submarine since this show predates Voyage. …
South Park- Sexual Harassment Panda (S3E6)
Sexual Harassment Panda comes to school to teach the children about harassment. After sitting through hours of rules Stan calls Cartman a nasty name with sexual connotations and Cartmen jumps on the opportunity to sue him and South Park Elementary with the help of Kyle’s dad. After everyone sees …
Out of This World: Playing with the Power TV Show
I very much enjoyed Out of This World: Playing with the Power. This was the second episode of the series, and it made me laugh, and I just had a good time watching it.
One of the good things about the show is that the very first scene with …
Chasing Mummies: Cursed TV Show
In Chasing Mummies: Cursed, which is the ongoing adventures of Egyptologist and archaeologist Zahi Hawass, Alice applies to be a fellow. She was on the show earlier when they lifted the stone from the ocean bottom. I liked her then, and I believe she performed reasonably well …
Pokemon (TV Show) - Pokemon Emergency! (Episode)
“Pokemon Emergency!” is the second episode of the Pokemon television series and it picks up pretty much right where the previous episode, “Pokemon, I Choose You!” left off. This episode covers almost as much ground as the first episode does, and it really is an half-hour that goes by …
House: Dying Changes Everything
I have to say I hated it when the series House killed off Amber last season. But, I liked how they incorporated her death into the season premiere, Dying Changes Everything.
There’s nothing like seeing a popular character going through a state of mourning to really move you and seeing …
Emperor’s New School: Demon Llama
I got home from work last night and the first thing my daughter wanted me to do was sit down with her and watch an episode of Emperor’s New School she had seen earlier that day; “Demon Llama.” And, I have to say it was definitely a very funny …
CSI Season 5 Episode 15- King Baby
I don’t know if I love this episode or just weirded out by it. One way or another, this was a great plot and a good example of great writing. I really loved it because it was so unusual, both the case and the circumstances. And maybe it was …
Laramie: The Replacement TV Show
Laramie: The Replacement is one of my very favorite episodes of this series. It’s in the top 5, in fact. I absolutely love it. It’s the kind of the story that keeps me on the edge of my seat while also engaging my heart. The …
Stargate SG-1: Rite of Passage
Stargate SG-1: Rite of Passage from the fifth season brings back the character of Cassandra, the alien child from season one’s Singularity, who was adopted by Doctor Janet Fraiser. While I love seeing Cassandra in a new episode, the original actress was unavailable and they chose to recast …
Heroes Show
If you haven’t been able to see this show from the beginning, try to see if there are reruns of the previous shows. Even if you come in now, you will get the gist of the show.
It is excellent.
I am not a big TV person. In fact, I was …
Death Note Episode 35 (Anime)
Deaht Note Episode 35 begins with Kyomi Takada being kidnapped while on her way to N.H.N. The Kira Taskforce rushes to save her while Light decides that one of his tools is no longer useful.
This was a very interesting episode and it shows how Light Yagami is truly …
Due South: Hunting Season
As Due South winds down, it gave us a storyline twist that really proved to be quite interesting. Due South: Hunting Season guest stars Jessica Steen as Constable Maggie MacKenzie who comes to Chicago for much the same reason as Constable Benton Fraser had, to track down a …
Due South: A Likely Story
The best thing about Due South: A Likely Story is the story that Constable Benton Fraser (Paul Gross) tells both in the first and the last scenes. Gross is a good storyteller, and I understand that he’s a folk singer of some sort, so that may explain why …
TV Show: Late Show with David Letterman
Synopsis: Late night talk show starring comedian David Letterman as the host; mixing comedy with musical performances and interviews with special guests.
What I liked about this show: I used to watch this show religiously when I was younger but haven’t watched it in a long time. In fact, the …
Justice League Unlimited Season One: For The Man Who Has Everything
The episode “For The Man Who Has Everything” was an entertaining and thought provoking epsiode in the first season of Justice League Unlimited. This episode features the “big three,” being Batman, Wonder Woman and Superman. These three heroes are the core of the Justice League, and the show …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Turn Back the Clock TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Turn Back the Clock, episode seven and one I have always been intrigued by, guest stars Nick Adams. We see him running through a jungle and then are surprised to find he’s being chased by a dinosaur. Okay, this show …
That Girl: Fur All We Know
Though the opening bit is rather cute, the rest of That Girl: Fur All We Know perturbs me on several levels. At the beginning of this show, Don takes Ann to a big party for the wealthy jet set. While he’s doing his business, he tells his …
Doctor Who: Season 5, Episode 9: Cold Blood
This episode picks up where the last one left off, with the Doctor attempting to make contact with the Silurians so that a treaty can be negotiated. Suffice it to say, it does not go well. The Silurians aren’t the most reasonable species out there, at least at …
The Solitary Cyclist
I am reviewing the Solitary Cyclist, a Sherlock Holmes adventure from the boxed set, The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes, which was produced by Granada television in 1983. In this episode, Holmes is employed by a music teacher. She cycles to work every morning, and is followed by …
Absolutely Fabulous
This is a weird show for me. On the one hand I like it but on the other there are so many things wrong with it I feel a little silly for liking it. Absolutely Fabulous is an English show and that means all it’s humor is …
Whatever You Like (song by rapper T.I.)
When I first heard this song, I thought it was quite ignorant. And then the beat and the hook caught me. It wasn’t until I’d heard it about three or four times that I started to like the song. And then after that, I realized …
That Girl: That Shoplifter
You just have to feel for Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) in That Girl: That Shoplifter. She’s so innocent and naive sometimes. Of course, back in 1971 when this ABC hit comedy aired, things weren’t as jaded as they are today.
While working as a specials announcer at a …
Diagnosis Murder: Death by Extermination TV Show
The woman is on fire in the show business industry. I’m writing about Betty White, who is the primary guest star in this December 1994 show, Diagnosis Murder: Death by Extermination. In this show, White plays Dora Sloan, the sister of Dr. Mark Sloan, played wonderfully by …
21 Jump Street - Swallowed Alive Season 3, Episode 9
