From the Earth to the Moon - Part 5: Spider
From the Earth to the Moon - Part 5: Spider gets my immediate attention because it begins with the theme song to Fireball XL-5. I adore that old series from the mind of Gerry Anderson. It was very dear to a very dear friend of mine, and he …

Spongebob Squarepants TV
Hands down, Spongebob Squarepants is for me the funniest cartoon for kids and kids at heart. Its unique humor is something that not everybody appreciates, knowing a lot of articles written about it all over the web which are not favorable, but it is MY type of humor, so …
House: The Itch
After watching House and Cuddy kiss last week, I expected this week’s episode “The Itch” to deal with their possible relationship.
Instead, we got a boring storyline about how they are still trying to decide what to do regarding the kiss; which ends with House outside her door in the …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Big House TV Show
From May 1963, The Andy Griffith Show: The Big House is the final episode of the third season, and it’s a pretty good one. It focuses on Andy, Barney, and Gomer, and that means one thing: good comedy.
The basic story has a couple of robbers being captured by …
The Simpsons: Oh Brother, Where Bart Thou?
We ended up catching the new Simpson’s episode last night “Oh Brother, Where Bart Thou? Because we thought it would end up being a Christmas episode based on the commercials.
It wasn’t. And, it wasn’t a very good episode either.
Basically, there is a power outage and Bart (who doesn’t know …

The Fall Guy: Goin’ for It TV Show
The Fall Guy: Goin’ for It gives us a different type of opening for the adventure drama, and that’s probably a good thing. Changing up a format occasionally keeps viewers on the edge, not certain what to expect. Not only did they change what was usual, but …

That 70s Show TV Episode: That 70s Musical
Wow, I was watching television Friday night and came across an episode of That 70s Show I had heard about but had never seen before, “That 70s Musical.” I have seen quite a few episodes of this show but this one was absolutely fantastic.
Basically, you have Fez getting ready …
Dead Like Me: Reaper Madness
Dead Like Me: Reaper Madness was the first episode of this series that I just sort of watched and enjoyed calmly. One of the reasons is that I do love happy endings. I like positiveness. I’m just not into doom and gloom and offbeat stuff that …

The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Jar TV Show
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Jar is one of the weird ones that I just don’t like much at all. One viewing was one too many, but I actually watched it twice anyway. The Jar aired in January 1992 and featured Jennifer Dale as Thedy, a self-involved, …
The X-files The Amazing Maleeni Episode
This episode of the popular 90s American television show “The X-Files” was one of the most memorable episodes. I watched it many years ago and still cannot forget it because a particular part of the introduction make me cringe. It takes a lot to make me cringe too, as …

Desperate Housewives: Me And My Town
“Me And My Town” is the episode of Desperate Housewives that first aired on November 30, 2008 on ABC. This was another great episode in a vastly-improved new season.

The Secret Life of an American Teenager

Justice League Unlimited Season One: Hunter’s Moon
“Hunter’s Moon” is the 22nd episode of season one of Justice League Unlimited. I was disappointed that this episode did not pick up where the last episode ended, since episode 21 ended with a cliffhanger. Instead, we are treated to a mission with Hawkgirl and two lesser …
Burn Notice: Bad Blood
Burn Notice: Bad Blood was actually the first episode I’d ever seen of Burn Notice and the only reason I watched it was because of the guest star, Michael Shanks. Shanks is my #2 all time favorite actor so I definitely had to watch this show. Not …
House: The Softer Side
OK, I know the show House has been going downhill a bit over the past couple seasons but last night’s episode “The Softer Side” was one of the few times I felt like I wasted an hour of my life watching it.
I’m not sure what’s worse, having a patient …
Star Trek: Voyager - Critical Care

Two and a Half Men
Two and a Half Men stars Charlie Sheen and Jon Cryer
As a remake essentially of “The Odd Couple,” this show could have easily been a bust, but something makes it a winner. The writing is substandard as it is easily seen as a copy of many …

NCIS: Black Water Season 2, Episode 11

Hawaii Five-O: Strangers in Our Own Land
“Look at that. One day we’ll be strangers in our own land.”

Have Gun - Will Travel: A Sense of Justice
About the first thing I noticed about Have Gun - Will Travel: A Sense of Justice is that once again Karl Swenson is guest starring. He really did a bunch of these shows. I feel like he’s in every third episode. I’m sure that’s an exaggeration, …

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Enemies
I have to say, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “Enemies” really had me fooled when I watched it; and that’s not something that happens very often.
I knew from a couple episodes back that Faith had entered the services of the mayor and was no longer fighting evil; she …
New Girl ‘The Dress’, Tv show
The Dress this episode is about is, of course, Cece’s wedding dress she bought with Winston while Jess was doing her jury duty. Unfortunately, they got drunk while shopping and the dress is ugly, at least they consider it ugly, and Jess was supposed to fix it. Let me give …
