Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Doll
After Larry’s latest behaviour; “Aren’t you Evelyn?” has now been picked up by ABC. But this reassuring new development doesn’t last for long, and as usual, Larry’s at the core of it all.
At a party hosted by an ABC bigwig; a broken bathroom lock serves as the catalyst …
Beast Wars - The Agenda, Part 1
Beast Wars - The Agenda, Part 1 is part one in a four part story. This episode features a former Decepticon turned Predicon, Ravage, being sent to capture Megatron and bring him back to Cybertron to be held accountable for his criminal actions. The Maximals had been expecting a …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Beauty Contest TV Show
While the concept of The Andy Griffith Show: The Beauty Contest has its humorous elements, at the same time it’s a bit strange. The strangeness is not because of the contest happening, but the makeup of the contestants. There’s no guideline. Ellie Walker (Elinor Donahue) ends …
Jon & Kate Plus 8 (TLC program)
My mother told me about this show and suggested that I watch it. The concept of a woman giving birth to sextuplets is fascinating in and of itself. Giving birth to more than four babies at once is fascinating. But this show takes things …
The Oprah Winfrey Show
I like to come home and watch the Oprah Winfrey show because I love the topics that Oprah examines on her show. She discuses the things that some other talk show hosts may not confront. I can’t even begin to count how many things I’ve learned just from watching …
All in the Family The Complete Fifth Season
The fifth season of All in the Family represents a slight shift in the way stories are told: some of the season consists of multi-part stories as opposed to single, standalone stories. Now the later seasons, particularly season eight, will be made up of even more two and three …
Friends Episode: The One Where Joey Is Turning Into a Woman
Friends Episode: The One Where Joey Is Turning Into a Woman is totally hilarious and really awesome. I laugh so hard whenever I watch this. Seems that Joey is picking up a fuss over little things when this tall and blonde, beautiful lady becomes his room-mate and he …
M*A*S*H: Love and Marriage
From season three, M*A*S*H: Love and Marriage isn’t one of my favorite episodes. While it has some good acting in it and some nice guest stars, the show just doesn’t really capture my interest as much as most of the other shows do.
One plot deals with Private Danny …
The Tonight Show with Jay Leno
The Tonight Show with Jay Leno is hilarious and entertaining. Jay Leno always has great, relevant and up-to-date jokes for every show. The band that performs during the show is also excellent. Another great thing about this show is that there are some pretty neat actors, stars, etc. people …
Project Blue Book, TV Series (2019)
In my opinion, The Blue Book is one of the most interesting series of at least the last 5 years. What are its principal merits?
Dramatic and scenic authenticity, no comic relief - you won’t find here any cardboard heroes, saving the world by clutching their fingers in the wings …
Dancing with the Stars - Australia - Week 1 TV Show
For the most part, I love America’s Dancing with the Stars, so it was with curiosity that I watched Australia’s version of it recently. This was the 10th season premier of the Oz version. Here are a few observations.
–It’s basically the same type of set, with the …
Stargate SG-1: Prometheus
Stargate SG-1: Prometheus is one of the wildcards I’ve mentioned. I kind of like this one, even with the annoying constant smiling of Jonas Quinn.
Earth’s brand new spaceship, the Prometheus, is about ready for its trial run. That’s when four hijackers make their move, successfully gaining control …
TV land awards
Nick at night TV land awards is one show they certainly could do without. Not really without but rewritten instead of having the most stupid categories for classic television. Categories such as Best Braces or Best superhero are so ridiculous. These categories do not uphold the integrity of …
Tales of the Gold Monkey: Honor Thy Brother
I must admit that Tales of the Gold Monkey: Honor Thy Brother isn’t one of my favorite episodes of the series. It begins with Jake Cutter (Stephen Collins) having a lot of close calls. He survives them all, but realizes that it’s actually intentional. There’s …
Fireball XL5: XL5 to H20
One of the best parts of Fireball XL5: XL5 to H20 was a really funny scene with Professor Matt Matic. He was doing one of his experiments when everything exploded. He looks like he’s been right in the middle of it, too. Naturally, no one is hurt, …
The First Leaders’ Debate TV show
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 …
Pokemon (TV Show) - Clefairy and the Moonstone (Episode)
“Clefairy and the Moonstone” is an episode of the Pokemon television series. What is perhaps most interesting about this episode is the story. I like how this episode exhibits a certain degree of mystery by exploring whether or not the Clefairy and Clefable came from outer space and I …
The Simpsons Pranksta Rap Season 16 Episode 9
This Simpsons episode sees Bart sneak out to a rap concert called Murder 4 Life after Marge specifically expresses her concern and forbids him to go. At the concert Bart is challenged to a rap battle by a Rapper called Alcatraaz, taking up this offer Bart storms the stage and …
Harper’s Island Episode 8
There seems to be more deaths coming in this TV series and it’s getting more focused. My boyfriend is so at it and I must say that he has somehow made me curious about this TV show definitely. Harper’s Island Episode 8 sees smells of more deaths coming …
The X-Files Fire Episode
The first thought which came to my mind when I watched this episode of “The X-Files” was “Weird “. I thought it was a lot stranger for some reason than many of the episodes of the popular 1990s American television series which I had watched as this episode involved …
Invisibleman season 2 episode 21 Enemy of my enemy
Invisibleman a show about a guy who participates in a scientific experiment and some scientists put a gland in his head which makes quicksilver which covers his body and makes him invisible. Enemy of my enemy is one of the 2 last episodes of the second season but also …
Telus Digital Cable
After using Shaw Digital Cable for the past year, we were offered a great rate to switch to Telus Digital Cable. Seeing as our phone, long distance and internet are already contracted onto Telus for another three years, we decided to add the Digital Cable package as well.
So far, …
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 …

Heroes Episode 4.1 and 2 Orientation/Jump, Push, Fall
I had fallen out of love with Heroes. The first season was quite good. The second season was slow for the first half, and while it started to pick up near the end, the writer’s strike broke the momentum and cut the season short. The third …
Due South: Chicago Holiday: Part 2
Like the beginning of this tale, Due South: Chicago Holiday: Part 2 has about enough dialog in it to fill a half-hour show, if that. It relies heavily on music and the visual aspect of following a matchbook all across the town. The matchbook has a list …
Batman: The Brave and the Bold: Menace of the conquerer caveman
This episode reunites Tom Everett Scott and Billy West, who voiced Booster Gold and Skeets respectively in an episode of “Justice League Unlimited”. They reprise the roles here and it plays to a similar effect.
The characters play off each other the same way and Booster is …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: New Moon Rising
OK, is it just me, or did the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series run out of budget money for making vampires and demons? I’m almost through the fourth season of the show with the episode “New Moon Rising” and there has hardly been any action at all.
Not that this …
Climax!: Casino Royale TV Show
Hosted by William Lundigan, Barry Nelson, Peter Lorre, and Linda Christian starred in the Casino Royale presentation of Climax! It’s presented in acts, which I love. That’s a very classic way of putting on a performance. This is really going back in TV history, to 1954. …
Dragon’s Den
Dragon’s Den is a BBC2 show where budding entrepreneurs enter “The Den” to pitch for an investment from five of Britain’s most successful multi-millionaire business people known here as the Dragon’s.
I have recently finished a 2 week quest to collect every single episode from the Dragon’s Den set and …

M*A*S*H: Alcoholics Unanimous
Frank Burns (Larry Linville) turns the 4077th upside down in M*A*S*H: Alcoholics Unanimous when he accuses just about everyone of being alcoholics, something that known of them want to admit. Ultimately, Father Mulcahy is set to give a lecture on the subject, but he gets a little nervous. …
One Tree Hill
I have been watching One Tree Hill since it first started in 2003. I had just had my first child and was 20 years old. I started watching because I liked the storyline of all the different highschool situations. I could find a character that reminded me of each …
I Love Lucy TV show
The I Love Lucy TV show may be a bit old, but it is still one of the best, leaving far behind most of the modern-day shows that I can only describe as stupidity/immorality parade.
I Love Lucy is funny and tasteful. You can watch it with your children without …
Outsourced: Pilot TV Show
Outsourced, the pilot, is a show I watched along with a bunch of other new Fall 2010 TV comedies just to see if I have misjudged the current style of comedy. You see, I prefer the classics, like The Andy Griffith Show and The Dick Van Dyke Show. …
E! True Hollywood Story TV show
The show E! True Hollywood story is a great series for a great many reasons. One of those reasons for me is that they show a side of a person’s life that we as an audience never really get to see up close.
The show chooses a celebrity that …
MacGyver: Blood Brothers
MacGyver: Blood Brothers is the episode that explains why MacGyver doesn’t like and refuses to use guns. Recently, I read the impetus behind this story. Apparently, as a youngster, series star Richard Dean Anderson shot at a bird and killed it. He wasn’t intending for that …
Friends TV show - The one where Chandler takes a bath
One day, Monica is going into the bathroom because she wants to take a bath, and Chandler is making fun of her because he thinks that baths are not that great. He doesn’t really know what baths are really like because he has never even taken one, so he …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Jimmy Stewart TV Show
The great and awesome Jimmy Stewart is the Man of the Hour in The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast, which was taped in Las Vegas. Right off the bat, I’ll say that the wonder of this hour is the quality of the talent there to roast Stewart. There …
Doctor Who: Season 5, Episode 6: The Vampires of Venice
The TARDIS picks up another crew member as the Doctor decides to bring Rory along so that he can spend time with Amy. I imagine it is also to keep Amy from putting the moves on him. More than that, he probably doesn’t want to be the …
Food Network Challenge show
I have really fallen in love with this show. I like seeing the different ways that “amateurs” cook, and love the ingenuity that they have to use when they’re provided the ingredients they must use for their dishes. I like in particular, the contests in which …
The Dick Van Dyke Show (TV Show) - Like a Sister (Episode)
“Like a Sister” is an episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show”. In this episode, Vic Damone guest stars and plays the role of a guest star on The Alan Brady Show. Sally becomes positively smitten with him and he spends a lot of time with her. She thinks …
Star Trek the Next Generation Episode: First Contact
As I mentioned in another review, I was watching a few re-runs of Star Trek the Next Generation this past weekend and came across a couple that I hadn’t seen before. One of these was the episode entitled “First Contact.”
This one was actually a bit interesting to me because …
Warehouse 13 season 1 episode 5 Elements
This episode was based on a really great idea; a robe that makes you walk trough the walls. Isn’t that an interesting artefact? I really find it interesting although I am quite sure it would be used for bad purposes if it existed.
Calaudia, the girl who kidnapped Artie in …
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.
Basically, Peter crashes his car into the satellite that provides television services to the city and …
The Fall Guy: Child’s Play TV Show

MacGyver: Brainwashed
Jack Dalton is back again, only this time he thinks he’s going as crazy as I think his character really is. He’s sleepwalking and picturing himself shooting MacGyver. Something’s amiss, and he needs Mac to help him figure out what it is. The episode is called Brainwashed, …
John Doe: John Deux TV show
In October 2002, John Doe: John Deux aired and presented the unusual aspect of having yet a second amnesia victim pop up near Seattle in just about the same way that John Doe (Dominic Purcell) did. Naturally, that piques John’s interest.
One of the most memorable parts of this …
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 …
