The Rachel Ray show
I hate the Rachel ray show. It feels like I am watching reruns of the Oprah or the Tyra Bank shows only the host is a chef who was unknown to the public just a few years ago! I think that everybody should stick to what he does best …
The Virginian: Dangerous Road TV Show
The Virginian: Dangerous Road was interesting to me mostly because the main guest star was Robert Pine. Pine became a household name to me when the TV series, CHiPs aired on television. The funny thing is that I didn’t even recognize him. I’d never seen him …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Statue of San Sebastian

Family Guy: I Never Met the Dead Man
Well, that was an interesting episode of Family Guy last night, “I have Never Met the Dead Man.” It was one that was a bit funny and really got you thinking a bit too.

The TV network MTV
The network MTV really sucks now a days and I am sorry but MTV is short for music television but seriously how often does MTV plays music? They hardly play music anymore except in the mornings, like very early mornings and that is about it. I think it is …
Mork & Mindy: Mork’s Greatest Hit
One of the interesting things about the old Mork & Mindy series is how it managed to look at normal everyday life and turn it into satire. The episode “Mork’s Greatest Hit” is a great example of this.
In our culture, we admire those who will use violence if it …
CSI New York Season 8 Episode 5
Episode 5 of season 8 of CSI New York might just as well be the most touching and most intriguing episode on the show so far. I have lost count on the number of twist in the plot before arriving at the correct chain of event and the criminal …
Eastenders
I have been a fan of eastenders for many many years. I love all the drama, Love and tears, it is a classic British soap. What on earth happened!!!! I think the show has gone way down lately, and the writers are just taking storylines from other soaps, for …

CSI Miami Horatio Caine
Think of a land of glitz and glamour. Beautiful women, sun, sea and glorious sunsets. High rise tower blocks overlooking a harbour lined with millionaire’s yachts. A playboy’s paradise overflowing with the excesses of the rich and famous. Imagine the picture. And in the centre of it stands a …
That Girl: Stag Party
The wedding between Ann and Don is getting closer with the advent of Don’s stag party. We actually never get to see the wedding, and the shows after this just mention the upcoming nuptials. As always, Marlo Thomas and Ted Bessell are just superb in their portrayals.
In …
Days of our lives
For as long as I can remember, I have been watching the popular day time television series, Days of Our Lives, and for as long as I can remember, it has always been airing, since I was brought into this world anyway.

Prison break season 2 episode 10-rendezvous
Prison break season 2 episode 10-rendezvous
This was a nice episode. Just as the rest of the episodes, it was thrilling and adrenaline pumping. The show is a great example of some good TV writing. This one was just a little bit funnier than the rest.
In this episode the events …
Star Trek (animated) TV Show
In 1973, after the live action had been off the air for several years, an animated version of Star Trek hit the Saturday morning lineup.

Laramie: Street of Hate TV Show
Laramie: Street of Hate, a first year episode of this awesome western series, featured an interesting guest star performance by Charles Bronson, who actually did a lot of television in the late 50’s and early 60’s.

Due South: The Promise
Apparently, Fraser’s driving is no longer questionable as in the opening scene of Due South: The Promise, he’s driving Inspector Meg Thatcher to an event. The long and short of it is that her broach is stolen by a street urchin. The young girl who stole it …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Harvest
The second episode of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Series isn’t too bad but, like the first, is hindered a bit in terms of helping us learn the major plot points and characters at the expense of the overall plot.
While I actually liked this episode a bit more than …
The Andy Griffith Show: A Date for Gomer TV Show
From November 1963, The Andy Griffith Show: A Date for Gomer features Jim Nabors as the hardworking, well meaning, but slightly goofball in just about every respect Gomer Pyle. In this show, at Thelma Lou’s insistence, her beau, Barney Fife (Don Knotts), has to get a date for …

There is one problem. …
One Tree Hill Tv Show
I think I am one of those rare people who really finds that show ridiculous. There’s this bunch of 16 years old kinds who do a bunch of dumb stuff and they treat themselves as they were adults. I know that in my time there was Beverly Hills but …

Monk TV Episode: Mr. Monk and the Naked Man
One of our channels had a mini Monk marathon on yesterday morning and, while our daughter was napping, I had an opportunity to watch some of it.

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Calf TV Show

Neon Genesis Evangelion episode 15

Ghost Hunters Academy: Drama Queen
Yeah, I just don’t feel Ghost Hunters Academy. The show is interesting at times but the whole contest thing just doesn’t seem to have any sort of guidelines for the show to work with.
Last week, they got rid of Heathyr. This week, they didn’t even make an effort to …
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. …
The Virginian: The Small Parade
I was so surprised by The Virginian: The Small Parade. I was expecting a parade, as in a circus parade or something, but what I got was a parade of young, adorable orphans. What a great title and what a fun show. As a youngster, I …
Smallville: Plastique
“Plastique” is the second episode of season eight of Smallville. This was a mediocre episode that was really saved by the growing sexual tension between Lois Lane and Clark Kent, as well as an ending that really sets the stage for a larger plot arch for the rest …
Justice League Unlimited Season One: Wake the Dead
“Wake the Dead” is the 11th episode of Justice League Unlimited, season one. It features a powered up version of Solomon Grundy against the Green Lantern, Superman, Hawkgirl, Dr. Fate, Aquaman, and Lynx. Typically this would be an uneven fight, but Grundy had been powered up by …
Gilmore Girls TV Show
I have to say I have become addicted to the Gilmore Girls. I’ve been watching this TV show since the first episode and from the very first time I saw it I couldn’t wait to see the next one.
Gilmore Girls is such a relief when we consider teen TV. …
Lost: Because You Left: The Lie
I am always happy when a series I’ve been watching comes back on the air, but there are certain shows which carry more of that certain type of joy. “Lost” is one of them. The season premier of Lost; “Because You Left: The Lie” is two hours long and …

Having just finished seeing the Pilot episode, I can say upfront that this will be …
Sliders - The Good, the Bad and the Wealthy
All right, this is a pretty silly episode. The idea of a world where Texas runs America and lawyers decide who wins a case through the barrel of a gun isn’t exactly the most realistic of scenarios. However it is a bit of good fun and when …
That 70s Show: The First Time
Once again, I came across another That 70s Show re-run I haven’t seen before, the episode called “The First Time.”

Centennial: The Winds of Fortune
In the late 1970’s, James Michener’s sweeping novel Centennial was turned into an epic mini-series that sprawled two centuries.

Hilary Swank on Ellen
Hilary Swank is such a darling. I was really psyched to watch her imitating Ellen and she did a real good job out of it. Not only is she having short hair, she is also very tall and beautiful, and at the same time embodies such a good …
Witch’s Requirement TV show
This moving tale epitomises all the forbidden loves of this world. It depicts the difficulties faced by all the couples who want to be together despite discriminations, criticisms, and pressure from loved ones.

Thriller: A Third for Pinochle TV Show
When Thriller: A Third for Pinochle began, I had visions of this show being a copy of Arsenic and Old Lace, but it wasn’t. Certainly, it had some of that attitude and feel because of the two elderly sisters featured in the hour long drama, but there’s really …
