Jennifer Love Hewitt on Ellen
I watched Jennifer Love Hewitt on Ellen the other day and this is another appearance by love on Ellen’s show. She looks very lovely, sophisticated and definitely in love, with her 100 year old ring given by her fiance’s great grandma. How sweet is that. She has …

The 4077th is loaded with casualties in M*A*S*H: Your Hit Parade. It’s one incoming group of injured men after another, so Colonel Potter (Harry Morgan) tells Radar O’Reilly (Gary Burghoff) to continue playing songs over the public address system. Radar really goes to town, taking on a …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Superstar
It has been a while since I’ve seen the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Jonathan. The last time we saw him was during season three, when he attempts to kill himself and Buffy stops him.
We see him again in the episode “Superstar” only this time he is a member of …

The Carol Burnett Show: Gloria Swanson TV Show
The Carol Burnett Show with special guest star Gloria Swanson was from the seventh season of the hit comedy and variety series. Burnett called her ‘Miss Swanson’ throughout. They actually showed a clip from a past episode where Burnett plays Nora Desmond, which is supposed to be …
Christmas with the King Family
PBS is treating us to a wonderful new special this holiday season, Christmas with the King Family. Now the interesting thing to me is that as a child, I really didn’t like the King Family. I didn’t even think they could sing. Truly, I thought, ‘What’s …
Seven days Season 2 Episode 14
The episode starts with the scene in which we see Parker talking to himself, but there are actually two Parkers, one is eating the chicken and drinking beer and the other tells him that the bubbles in the beer are going upside down and that his addition to the …
High School Musical 3 Senior Year
I just watched the finale of High School Musical 3 with my sister a few days ago. She was begging me endlessly and I hate to see her disappointed so I complied. We watched the final offering of HSM during the first day of the grand showing in the …
Beast Wars - Dark Designs
Beast Wars - Dark Designs is yet another episode in season one where the Predicons come up with this game-changing device that ultimately is never seen again. In this episode, the Predicons develop a device that can forcibly transform a Maximal into a Predicon. The re-programming is thrust upon …
Fireball XL5: Faster Than Light
Fireball XL5: Faster Than Light is another good entry for this puppeteering TV show. There’s some action going on here, especially with Fireball XL5 having engine problems. There’s a bit where the ship goes incredibly fast, actually going faster than light speed. Seeing this on screen is …
Fireball XL5: Space Monster
Fireball XL5: Space Monster started out as a hoot. The beautiful blonde space doctor, Venus, was dancing to an ancient dance called the Twist. What’s more, that cute little Lazoon named Zoonie was dancing the Twist, too. It was just hysterical in all good ways. …
The Twilight Zone: The Man in the Bottle TV Show
On the surface, The Twilight Zone: The Man in the Bottle is like a wish come true. Haven’t we all secretly wished for a magic bottle with a genie inside who could make all of our dreams come true? That’s what happens in this episode, to Arthur …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Black Bull TV Show
The Black Bull is a name that tells me that I’m probably not going to like this episode; that is, if there’s a bull in it and some bullfighting story. As I began to watch, I just hoped it was metaphorical. The western show stars Richard Boone …
Adam-12: Eyewitness
My favorite scene in Adam-12: Eyewitness from season four is a segment with a dog. It’s a cute dog and in the show, he’s a seeing eye dog. I pretty much enjoy everything about this and the way Martin Milner as Officer Pete Malloy plays with him.
This …
Gilmore Girls TV show
This show is full of quick, snappy dialogue with many references to literature and pop culture. It is about the relationship between Lorelai Gilmore and her daughter Rory. The show began with Rory’s entrance to Chilton high school, and progressed from there to Rory entering Yale University.
The two live …
A-Team TV Episode: Duke of Whispering Pines
I came in a bit late on the A-Team re-run The Duke of Whispering Pines this past weekend and I didn’t get to see the first few minutes of it. But, I did get to see the majority of this episode and, for the most part, it was pretty …
L.A. Law: One Rat, One Ranger TV Show
I was never a big fan of L.A. Law, though with reruns, I probably have seen most if not all of the entire series, but as I turned on One Rat, One Ranger to watch it for the first time in years, my initial thought was, “Wow, what a …
The Simpsons TV Episode: The Fight Before Christmas
I was flipping through channels yesterday evening and came across a Christmas Episode of the Simpsons that I haven’t seen before entitled The Fight Before Christmas. I think this is one of the newer episodes and I have to say it was pretty decent.
Basically, the episode has the Simpsons …
M*A*S*H: Change Day
Philip Ahn guest stars as Mr. Kim, the tailor, in M*A*S*H: Change Day. Ahn has been in other episodes of this comedy, including the one in which Alan Alda virtually did a one-man show when Hawkeye Pierce was injured and had to keep talking in case he had …
Family Guy 100th Episode
I�m not a huge fan of Family Guy. The jokes in it can be funny but they are a bit too crude for my taste. However, when the 100th episode was on the other day, I did decide to give it a chance. And, again, I was disappointed.
The idea …
Dancing with the Stars: S11, Wk 3 Performance TV Show
The third week of Dancing with the Stars’s 11th season had some interesting costumes. I don’t often pay that much attention, but they were noticeable as the stars descended the stairs. This week, the dancers were charged by the judges to do a story themed dance, which …
The Simpsons TV Episode: The Old Man and Lisa
I got home early enough to watch a re-run of the Simpsons on TV. The one that was showing was one I have seen before and still think is one of my favorites; The Old Man and Lisa.
Basically, Mr. Burns discovers he has been making a number of bad …
M*A*S*H: The Joker Is Wild
One thing that I remember about the final season of this great series is that they mentioned in some way just about all of the early cast members, giving everyone a final nod. I always thought that was classy. In M*A*S*H: The Joker Is Wild, it’s Trapper …
Star Trek: The Alternative Factor TV Show
What makes Star Trek: The Alternative Factor memorable to me is the guest star appearance of Robert Brown as Lazarus. Brown is a very good actor. I first became aware of him on Here Come the Brides where he played Jason Bolt, and now I’ve seen numerous …
South Park- Spontaneous Combustion (S3E2)
In this season 3 episode of South Park, Kenny spontaneously combusts. When it starts to happen to others, the town goes into a panic and appoints Stan’s dad, Randy Marsh, to find out why. Meanwhile the boys have overheard that Kyle’s dad can’t have an erection so they set …
Family Guy: Prick up your ears
Sometimes, the series Family Guy can be a bit over the top. A lot of times, that can take away from the show. Other times, like in the episode “Prick up Your Ears,” it can be a good thing because it was a great way to bring people’s attention …
Sea Hunt: Sunken Car TV Show
Sea Hunt: Sunken Car begins with Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) doing a survey job where a pipe would be placed later. I like seeing how they link these little opening bits with what ultimately becomes the main focus of the half hour episodes. The survey really has …
Highway Patrol: Motorcycle B TV Show
This 1957 episode of Highway Patrol may be called Motorcycle B. That’s how it’s listed on the IMDB. However, the problem with a lot of shows is that they don’t include the episode title in the credits. That’s the case with Highway Patrol. There’s probably …
Heroes TV Series
This is the greatest tv series ever! I love the story, I always love sci-fi movies, this is one of the best. I love the characters, so many of them and so little time, one hour is not enough! Good guys, bad guys, between good and …
One Tree Hill Series
First of all, I did not expect that I would learn to love CW’s One Tree Hill series. I have been a loyal viewer of the series since the airing of its first season when its characters were in their teenage years. Now it has made to its sixth …
The Virginian: Big Day, Great Day
For a western, The Virginian did do some very different things. For example, The Virginian: Big Day, Great Day includes a day at the lake with visitors in their swimming suits. Not only that, but the opening scene includes a phone call in Denver. A western …
The Dick Van Dyke Show (TV Show) - No Rice at My Wedding (Episode)
“The Dick Van Dyke Show” episode entitled “No Rice at My Wedding” is primarily a flashback episode that takes viewers back to a time before Rob and Laura were married but after they started going together as a couple. This is one of the very few episodes of this …
The Dick Van Dyke Show (TV Show) - Remember the Alimony (Episode)
Sitcom episodes that mainly revolve around husband and wife arguments usually don’t entertain me as much as episodes that feature some kind of other plot focus. In “Remember the Alimony,” an episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” viewers are treated to a flashback to a time when Rob …
Stargate SG-1: Family
Stargate SG-1: Family is the second of the Jaffa-centered episodes. This time, Teal’c’s son has been kidnapped by Apophis, and SG-1 goes to save the day. Unfortunately, Teal’c gets a shock when he discovers his wife, Drey’auc, has dissolved their marriage and remarried, all in an attempt …
Will and Grace
Will and grace is a television show that I started watching about a year ago. I don’t really watch it anymore though. Overall it was an alright show. There were a couple of episodes that I thought were really funny. I think the main reason that made the show …
South Park: Margereen
This episode is one of the few truly good newer episodes, as it involves many different characters, all acting the way a bunch of nine year olds should probably act. Too often, the writers of South Park treat their characters as though they are grown, and while this may …
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 …
Sliders-Rules of the Game
This is the first episode of the third season of Sliders (at least the first on the air, although it was not the first on the production line) and it is here that we can see the once mighty series start to head down hill. It is not …
Stargate SG-1: Lifeboat
It took seven years for Producer Robert C. Cooper to admit Michael Shanks could act (duh), and the admission came with Stargate SG-1: Lifeboat, a season seven entry that was a showcase for Shanks’ enormous acting talent.
In this show, Daniel becomes a lifeboat of sorts to several other consciousness’, …
Bones: The Man in the Mansion
Sometimes it pays to stay home sick. If I wouldn’t have today, I would have missed a re-run of the Bones episode, the Man in the Mansion; an episode I didn’t see until tonight.
This one was actually somewhat interesting. The case itself isn’t overly unique. A millionaire is found …
The Twilight Zone: The Fear TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Fear aired at the end of May in 1964, making it one of the last episodes ever of what is definitely a groundbreaking, superb series overall. Unfortunately, not all the shows in this final year were worthy of the series title. The Fear …
Your Song: Abs Cbn Show
Another TV Show everyone loved in the Philippines, Your Song premiers about 2 years ago, in July 2006 and since then the filipinos have been following this show everyweek. Their tagline “Ang Soundtrack ng Lovelife Mo” meaning ” The Soundtrack of your Lovelife”, has also helped the show bring …
Doctor Who: Season 3, Episode 9: Human Nature
After the awesomeness that was “42″, we’re given another amazing episode. It may not keep you on the edge of your seat in suspense, but it works extremely well and pulls off everything successfully.
As the episode opens, the Doctor and Martha find themselves being pursued by …
The X-Files: Season 1, Episode 15: Lazarus
After the previous episode left a bad taste in my mouth with it’s goofy, out of nowhere, plot twist; this episode washes said taste out with a rather magnificent episode that left me enthralled throughout the entire runtime of the episode.
After receiving an anonymous tip about an impending bank …
The Beast - Nadia
The third episode of A&E’s series, The Beast, is called Nadia, and once again, I’m intrigued.
Patrick Swayze’s Charles Barker character continues to excite. He’s natural and at ease with the part. His actions and movements are subtle and well timed. He’s a veteran performer, and it …
Criminal Minds Season 1 TV Series
I just got off after finishing all twenty two episodes of the TV series for the third time in a row. What I like best about this series is the humor of the characters which never fail to make me laugh. In the face of death and gruesome scenarios, …
My Name is Earl
You know, I really didn’t think I was going to like this show when it first came out. Frankly, the previews of the first season looked a little corny. I actually only started watching it because it was in a convenient time frame (just before something else I wanted …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Mechanical Man TV Show
I love this show. I’m going to say that right off the bat. Of course, I’ve been writing reviews talking about Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and how much I liked the show growing up and even now, but this particular episode, The Mechanical Man, …
