Family Guy: Peter’s Daughter
OK, I have to admit it, the Family Guy episode “Peter’s Daughter” has got to be one of the funniest episodes I’ve seen of any program on television.
There are two major plot points to this episode; both related to a flood that takes place in the opening minutes.
First, you …
Family Guy 10-2: Seahorse Seashell Party
Even thou the first episode of Season 10 really left a bad aftertaste in my mouth, I wanted to give the series another chance. I’ve been watching Family Guy for years and wanted to see if the writers could redeem themselves in my eyes. That they were still capable …
Monk - Mr. Monk is Underwater
Hi, this series has been around for quite awhile now and it is just since lately with the push from my significant other that I have really started taking interest in watching Monk. This episode is about an alleged suicide that takes place on a submarine, one of the …

Due South: Mojo Rising
Due South: Mojo Rising was big on voodoo, and those shows aren’t my favorites to watch, regardless of the show. I’m not sure what the fascination is with this type of show, but sooner or later, it seems like every dramatic show on the air does some show …
Dresden Files; TV Series
Being a huge fan of the “Wizard” book series written by Jim Butcher,I waited; none too patiently, for the release of the new television series “The Dresden Files”. After the pilot was put on hold for several months, it was finally released.
The series is a new additon …
Weeds season 1
I watched Weeds Season One on DVD again last week. I was home alone, and the house was so quiet, I found myself seeking a dvd to keep me company.
As I riffled through the possibiltites I found Weeds season 1 and I threw it in the dvd player.
I was …
The Great British Bake Off: S1, Ep2 TV Show
The second of six episodes for The Great British Bake Off occurs in Scotland, and it’s quite picturesque. I think I love watching the scenery almost more than I do the cooking aspects of these programs. I also love the cooking set up which has the bakers under …
Ghost Whisperer 4th season
I am into ghost whisperer, a series by Jennifer Love Hewit. This has been going on for like 3 seasons already. I followed through this series from season one and I guess watching up until episode 6 of the 4th season, I can say I like this season more …
That Girl: I Ain’t Got Nobody
The plot surrounding That Girl: I Ain’t Got Nobody is that Ann’s picture is inexplicably in a major girlie magazine, creating chaos for everyone who knows her and interfering with her attempt to be cast on a children’s show with a character called Captain Gooney (Kenneth Mars).
A positive thing …

Law & Order Criminal Intent TV Episode: Frame
As I mentioned in another review, my wife and I were watching episodes of Law & Order Criminal Intent last night; re-runs that were airing on one of our local stations.

The Forgotten - Diamond Jane
In this second series of this new ABC drama which stars Christian Slater, I find myself more into the story of the dead body than I was the regular characters who make up what is called The Forgotten Network. This network helps the police to identify dead bodies …
The Andy Griffith Show: Floyd, the Gay Deceiver TV Show
This 1962 outing of The Andy Griffith Show is far from a favorite of mine. In fact, I really don’t like it much at all. There are a few reasons for that, one of which is that I really don’t like outings where Howard McNear takes the …
Spongebob: New Digs
I was watching Spongebob Squarepants with my daughter this morning and was watching an episode that was kind of funny; “New Digs.”
Basically, Spongebob freaks out because he’s one minute late for work for the first time ever and, after being “punished” by Mr. Krabs, he decides the best way …
MASH-Season 3
True MASH fans will remember Harry Morgan’s (who later played Col. Potter) first appearance on MASH. In the season 3 opener, he played General Steele, a general who was completely insane and tries to get Trapper and Hawkeye charged with mutiny, among other things. I absolutely love this episode.
Season …
Spacelift: Transporting Trek into the 21st Century featurette
Spacelift: Transporting Trek into the 21st Century is a really interesting and intriguing featurette about how Paramount Studios created the remastered Star Trek series for DVD release. The digitally enhanced three seasons of this legendary series was released circa 2004. I was totally enthralled in how this …
Stephen King’s Rose Red TV miniseries
I recently watched Stephen King’s Rose Red on the SyFy channel. It’s in three parts, with the first part being a buildup of the various characters and the backdrop of the story, the second brings in some action, and the third finishes the story with even more action.
…
The Batman television series
I do not remember ever hearing of the animated series “The Batman” which is of course a modern day spin off of the comic book character, until I saw it being aired on local television recently. At first, I was hesitant to even give it a try since I …
The Simpsons: Lost our Lisa
One of my favorite Simpsons episodes was on television earlier today (or, actually, yesterday since I’m writing this in the wee hours of Saturday morning);Lost our Lisa. It is a cute episode for a variety of reasons.

Final Interview of Friends in NBC
I truly respect the whole cast of Friends, including the actors, actresses, the writers and all the not-known staff. They are all awesome and that could be depicted of a great team-work when I watch Final Interview of Friends in NBC. Each and everyone of the real celebrity …
Doctor Who: Season 4, Episode 4: Planet of the Ood
The Doctor and Donna arrive on an alien planet in the 42nd Century. I think this is the first time that the relaunch has ever truly gone off world before. We’ve been to New Earth and to various spacecraft, but never to a bona fide alien world …
Top Shot: Shortest Fuse TV Show
I have ambivalent feelings about Top Shot: Shortest Fuse, but that’s only because my personal favorite didn’t make it through the entire hour.
This show has been very interesting to watch. It’s a competition that pitted a bunch of men and one woman in direct competition with a variety …
The Little Einsteins (tv show)
The Little Einstiens is a cartoon program for children ages zero to probably about five years old that airs at eight o’clock on Saturday mornings (EST) on the Disney Channel. My children have fallen in love with this group of explorative youngsters as they embark upon different journeys …
Stargate: Infinity: Mentor TV Show
What are the odds? Mr. Spock would say they were astronomical, I’m sure, but this isn’t Star Trek, so I suppose the odds don’t matter. In Stargate: Infinity: Mentor, Major Gus Bonner and his team go to a world where they run into Bonner’s mentor, Harley Sheppard, …
The L Word
What can I say about this series that will not offend women? Guys love watching attractive women performing lesbian sex. When the scenes are hot, there is an enjoyable time had by all. When the women talk about personal relation problems, this series turns into a …
Ghost Hunters: The Stone Lion Inn
Hmm, I watched my final disk in the Ghost Hunters Season 2 DVD collection I’ve been renting yesterday and have to say the one, The Stone Lion Inn, was a bit on the dull side.
The first case was, of course, the Inn, which was supposed to be very haunted. …
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 …
Stargate SG-1: Company of Thieves
Season ten of Stargate SG-1 plods forward with an episode called Company of Thieves. About the best moment here is when Daniel is in control of the Odyssey. Of course, he’s flown the Prometheus and various Goa’uld vessels, so commanding the Odyssey should be a piece of …
Miss Marple Towards Zero
I have been a big fan of Aghata Christie when I was little although I must admit that I prefer Poirot to Ms Marple because he was so much more excentric and looked much more smart.
Anyway. Ms marple is this small old woman who somehow manages to find herself …
Sponge Bob
Sponge Bob is a great show. I think this show is very funny and creative. But I also think that who ever writes the show is on some serious drugs. I mean the stuff they come up with on this show is really crazy, and very funny. It really out …
Top Gear on BBC America
Would you rather win the lottery, or be given a job as host of Top Gear? For me, I’d take the job. I haven’t seen the American version of the show on the History channel yet, but the British version of Top Gear has to be the best thing …
Adam-12: The Search
From October 1971, Adam-12: The Search is one of the very best episodes of the entire police series. It’s incredibly dramatic, emotional, and angst-ridden in all the very best ways.
In the show, Martin Milner’s Officer Pete Malloy is in a pursuit of a criminal when his vehicle crashes, …
The Simpson’s TV Episode: Lisa’s Date with Density
I had a chance to watch a bit of TV last night and ended up watching an episode of the Simpsons; Lisa’s Date with Density.
This one has a couple story lines that are actually pretty entertaining. First, Lisa finds herself having a crush on Nelson and, while I wouldn’t …
Dinner Impossible
This show is one of the most innovative on the Food Network. I like the fact that the chef is charged with preparing a meal out of ingredients that are kind of uncommon, or unusual for the particular dish. I saw one episode where the man had …
Friends Episode: Chandler Gets Busted
Friends Episode: Chandler Gets Busted is a very funny episode involving Chandler. You guys should watch this episode if you guys have not because it stars Julia Roberts and with her very lustrous and gorgeous red hair, she looks extremely beautiful. She ticked Chandler into ‘making out’ in …
Law and Order: Criminal Intent Season 1, Episode 21
This is a fairly disturbing episode and one that tends to stick with me. Every time I see it, it sticks in my head for at least a day or two. It makes you think about people, and the lengths they go to just to continue making a few …
MacGyver: The Human Factor
