The Twilight Zone: Living Doll TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Living Doll is yet another one of those shows that make me shudder from the start. I’m not interested, I don’t like it, and I hate watching it. It was a nightmare sitting through it even one more time before doing this review.
Living Doll …
Project Runway Season 6 Finale
Wow, that had to be the most predictable Project Runway finale ever. Arina entered it as the obvious favorite and, no surprise, she ended up winning it.
Of course, I have to say, compared to other seasons, this finale was a bit weak. Carol Hannah had a bit of an …
Bones
This isn’t just another CSI copy cat. This is the real thing. Kathy Reichs is the person behind Temperance Brennan, who is a forensic anthropologist for the Jeffersonian Institute. Tempe or Bones, as she is fondly called by everybody, is not your ordinary geek. She’s strong willed, she knows …
Tony Robinson and the Blitz Witch
Tony Robinson and the Blitz Witch is a Channel 4 documentary hosted by Tony Robinson (also known as Baldrick from Blackadder) and which tells the story of the famous war time medium called Helen Duncan. This is an interesting story as this unassuming middle-aged Scottish lady who would …
Arrested Development TV Show
This has to be by far, one of the best tv shows I have ever seen. The tv series is hilarous! It has a growing fan base too. Arrested Development has three seasons. (Hopefully there will be more if they bring the show back). You can watch all of …

House TV Episode: Family Practice

What I liked about this episode: I have gone on record before saying I hate this whole relationship thing between House and Cuddy and, …
Stargate SG-1: Crystal Skull
Stargate SG-1: Crystal Skull is an excellent episode of this great science fiction series. It brings a bit of personal into the mission picture as Daniel Jackson’s maternal grandfather is an intricate part of the story.
The essence of Stargate SG-1: Crystal Skull is that Daniel gets out of …
Miss America: Behind the Curtain
A few years ago, the Miss America Pageant started to redefine themselves, giving the pageant a new, more up to date look. They actually did a multi-week reality show to help the gals transition from the old, static type of pageant to a new, refreshed style and look. …
Ramsays Best Restaurant - C4 TV Series
Ramays Best Restaurant
Having created a persona that is recognized as much for its fiery temper and his constant use of swear words as his talent for cooking fine food, it makes a nice change to see Gordon Ramsay front a t.v show like this.
Usually seen entering down trodden, under …
If I had a hammer - CSI: las vegas
This was the latest episode of CSI: las vegas. I enjoyed it for the most part. Here lately they haven’t been having very many good episodes at all. There have only been a couple of good episodes ever since Grissom left. This one and “miscarriage of justice” was good …
Clean House, Messiest Home in America Contest 2
OK, I watch Clean House on a regular basis only because my wife makes me. But, I will admit, watching other people and their messes really makes me feel a bit better about my slightly messy home.
I have to say though the house on their Messiest House Contest 2 …
Friends series
When we have dinner, we like to watch some of the old sitcoms. One of our favorits is the Friends series.

The City on MTV
I was really excited to watch the spin off reality show of The Hills on MTV called The City. The City is a show based in New York City that features Whitney Port in her big move from L.A. to the fashion mecca working in the DVF fashion …

Star Trek: By Any Other Name has the Enterprise battling aliens in human form who need transport to their new home world. It’s a long distance, and they commandeer the Enterprise to get it there. This is thanks to a nifty device that turns a human into …
Babylon 5 Season 1, Episode 1: The Gathering
I had never watched Babylon 5 back when it was on the air. After hearing a lot of good things recently, I decided to add it to my Netflix queue. It was added to instant watch and I was finally able to sit down and start watching …
The Fresh Prince of Bel Air
Ok. So I know this show is a classic or something and I sort of remember watching it when it was originally aired. But I don’t understand how everyone thinks Will Smith was the best character of the show. I really don’t think he carried the show. He was …
Wife Swap
I have watched this show a couple of times on lifetime movie network. It is somewhat interesting and entertaining to watch. Some episodes are a lot better than others. I think it gives people a learning experience who do the wife swap. My favorite part of the show is …
Law & Order SVU TV Episode: Guilt
Synopsis: ADA Cabott needs testimony from a teenaged boy in order to convict the man who raped him and apparently several others. However, her case is thrown into jeopardy when the boy tries to kill himself and ends up in a coma.

Big Brother: Power of Veto August 25, 2010 TV Show
The August 25, 2010 edition of the American version of Big Brother was the Power of Veto episode. Quite honestly, it was the competition that was the best part of the very long hour. The truth is that many of these shows could be shown in a …
Stargate SG-1: Fallout
As odd as this sounds, I actually enjoy Stargate SG-1: Fallout a great deal. The reason this may sound odd to folks is that this is the one time Corin Nemec returned as Jonas Quinn. In fact, the story was his idea.
The reason I like it, though, …
War and Remembrance: Director’s Commentary featurette
On the DVD for War and Remembrance, Producer/Director/Writer Dan Curtis did commentary for selected scenes. With 30 hours of footage, it’s understandable why he didn’t do a full commentary. Instead, as a bonus feature really, Curtis talks over several scenes that are clipped together into this featurette …
Star Trek: Where No Man Has Gone Before TV Show
Though it didn’t air first, this show was the first one completed after The Cage. In essence, it was the second pilot for Star Trek. It has a very appropriate title, too — Where No Man Has Gone Before. It has some terrific guest star power, …
Venture Bros TV show
Venture Bros is quite possibly the best Adult Swim original show. It follows the adventures of a super-scientist, his two teenage sons and his bodyguard as they face assorted villains, including Dr. Venture’s nemesis, the Monarch. But while this may sound like a standard action-adventure series, it’s far …
David Letterman Talk Show Episode with Kate Winslet
I remember watching David Letterman Talk Show Episode with Kate Winslet and it was during those glamor days surrounding the hype of the movie Titanic. It was such a very good episode and Kate is such a good talker.
I love watching her on talk shows and interviews …
The Twilight Zone: The Fever TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Fever isn’t about being physically ill in the sense of having the flu or some ailment, but rather, it’s about an addiction, and a surprising one at that. A casino welcomes its latest guests, a couple from a small town. They think …
Columbo: Mind Over Mayhem TV Show
Peter Falk returns in Columbo: Mind Over Mayhem, a pretty intriguing entry from the third season of the crime drama. There’s a very recognizable and talented guest cast, too.

Here Come the Brides: After a Dream, Comes Morning
Here Come the Brides: After a Dream, Comes Morning is a wonderful episode of this family show about a trio of brothers who brought 100 brides from the civility of the city to the growing town of Seattle, Washington. This show is a essentially a flashback to what …

From 1965, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Terror on Dinosaur Island is the 14th show of this second year on the air. The series stars Richard Basehart as Seaview creator, Admiral Harriman Nelson, and David Hedison, who has always been my favorite performer from this program, …
Flip That House TLC show
Flip That House is a TLC show where people purchase houses, fix them up and then try to sell them for a sometimes huge profit. I think this is a very interesting show to watch. Its fun to see how much of a profit people can make off of …
Thriller: Man of Mystery TV Show
I was probably more interested in Thriller: Man of Mystery from April 1962 than I have been in most of the other shows, except maybe one that guest starred William Shatner.
This episode guest starred John Van Dreelen as Joel Stone, financier and playboy, and he’s interested in a young …
Highway Patrol: Hit and Run TV Show

Have Gun - Will Travel: Winchester Quarantine
Richard Boone is in practically every scene of this western series. He’s the star, and that comes through loud and clear. He was a very talented actor and taught acting for years, too. Have Gun - Will Travel: Winchester Quarantine lets him show off a …
The Night Before Christmas
This animated tale, The Night Before Christmas, is not to be confused with the traditional Father Mouse story of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas. This is another tale that is more current, in the computer age, in fact, though it does still include a mouse family, only these …
Hair Battle Spectacular: Shake It, Don’t Break It TV Show
Hair Battle Spectacular: Shake It, Don’t Break was the latest hour of this crazy reality competition which is now down to five stylists whose speciality is creating fantasy hairdos. When I say fantasy, I mean crazy, far out, and nearly unimaginable updos that you can’t help but notice, …

Stargate SG1: Small Victories
This episode was the premiere for season 4 and concluded what was started in the last episode of season 3.
Jack, Sam and Teal’c return home after saving the earth from the replicators. While they believe they have gotten rid of the replicators one survived and landed in a …
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 …
Bones: Mayhem on a Cross
Last night’s episode of Bones, “Mayhem on a Cross” was, for lack of a better word, disappointing.
Normally, the idea of finding real human remains as part of a stage prop for a heavy metal band would be kind of cool. But, somehow, I feel the show kind of ruined …
The Twilight Zone: Person or Persons Unknown TV Show
Richard Long, best remembered as Jarrod Barkley on The Big Valley, guest stars as David Gurney in The Twilight Zone: Person or Persons Unknown. It’s an interesting story in which Gurney wakes up after an evening out with his wife. The rub comes when the man discovers …
Fraggle Rock: Wembley and the Gorgs
In the first episode of Fraggle Rock, we are briefly introduced to the Gorgs, giant creatures that apparently have their own world just outside of Fraggle Rock. The second episode of the series, Wembley and the Gorgs, gives us a better understanding about who they are.
This episode was actually …

It’s …
Chase: Paranoia TV Show
For me, Chase: Paranoia was pretty intense, though that wasn’t necessarily a positive. In some ways, this episode felt like a rerun, not of this new series, of course, but of other shows and movies I’ve seen. That doesn’t mean it was not an enjoyable watch; it …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Three - Doing Time
In this episode, Spoongebob gets into a lot of trouble when he is taking his driving exam and practically wrecks all of Bikini Bottom because he really doesn’t know how to drive. When Mrs. Puff is found guilty of not properly teaching him, she is thrown into jail. The …
COPS
“COPS” airs on Fox and each episode revolves around the daily experiences of police officers, as they go out on their patrols. I’m sure that, realistically-speaking, there are moments in a cop’s day that are very routine or mundane, but “COPS” focuses on the more dramatic aspects of …
Star Trek: Yesteryear TV Show
Star Trek returned to television as in animated series in 1973 and included most of the original stars voicing their characters. It really does feel like Kirk et al are out there exploring. Star Trek: Yesteryear is the second episode and was quite wonderful overall to watch.
This …
MacGyver: Runners
MacGyver: Runners, from season four, features Gerald Anthony as a pimp named Snakeskin. The Italian Anthony made a name for himself on the soap opera One Life to Live as the outrageous Marco Dane. Anthony died a few years ago, but he’s still remembered. A …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Man Who Lost TV Show
From season two, The Man Who Lost was the 31st episode of the year. Can you imagine that? The 31st, and it wasn’t the last one! The series was Have Gun - Will Travel, starring Richard Boone as the intellectual gunfighter for hire, Paladin. Whatever …
Columbo: Lovely But Lethal TV Show
The first show of Columbo’s third season on the air was Lovely But Lethal, which featured Vera Miles as Viveca Scott, Martin Sheen as Karl Lessing, Vincent Price as David Lang, and Sian Barbara Allen as Shirley Blaine.
