Project Runway: Rumble on the Runway
Look, I’ve mentioned before the show Project Runway has slowly grown on me over the years and, for the most part, I’m becoming a fan. But, I never understood the team competitions. This is supposed to be the best designer beating out all others. The only reason to pair …
Stargate SG-1: Absolute Power
Stargate SG-1: Absolute Power is an excellent show, though not a personal favorite. It’s another one of the stories that deals with Abydos remnants and references to Oma DeSala, whom I strongly detest. So, while it’s good, it’s not a favorite.
That said, Michael Shanks gets to utilize those …
Project Runway Season Premiere
Well, my wife should be happy now, Project Runway is once again on TV and, since she no longer works, she can tune in Thursday nights.
The season premiere, which was tonight, wasn’t too bad. I do think they are running out of unique challenges and have to question the …
MacGyver: Early Retirement
MacGyver: Early Retirement has more of MacGyver on the ice, playing hockey with Pete in a neat little segment, especially when Pete stops three of his shots from scoring. Can we say Mac is a pouter? It was funny. The reason for the excursion for the …
Everybody Hates Chris
Everybody Hates Chris as narrated by Chris Rock.
Taking a bunch of unknowns and extras and creating a situation comedy that focuses on the narration of a successful comedian was a risk, but it seems to work. This comedy series is as close to the Bill …
Roseanne Season Five
The fifth season of Roseanne was one of the last really great seasons of the show. It was before things got too wacky and the show was still grounded in reality a little bit. I thought the only unrealistic thing was when Roseanne, Jackie, and Nancy opened a restaurant …
Highway Patrol: Lookout TV Show
Broderick Crawford is considered such a legend among TV cops. It’s understandable because in this series, Highway Patrol, he plays such a strong type. He barks out commands in rapid fire speak. He amazes me, in fact. He’s a pretty fast talker, and you have …
The Andy Griffith Show: Deputy Otis TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Deputy Otis features Hal Smith in his role as town drunk, Otis Campbell. The episode, from season two, begins harmlessly enough with Sheriff Andy Taylor (Andy Griffith) and Deputy Barney Fife (Don Knotts) having forgotten their keys to the sheriff’s office. This means …
Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 10
Tonight I was searching for a show to watch when I decided to watch the latest episode of Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 10. It was titled the Warlord due the fact that it was about a warlord that takes over Kes’s body. It was a twisted episode …
House: The Jerk
Finally, a patient that is so annoying, it makes House look like a saint. The episode “The Jerk” was actually quite an interesting episode considering he has a dying patient, doesn’t know why the teenager is dying and has to deal with someone who is such a jerk, you …
Fullmetal Alchemist: brotherhood Episode 64 (Anime)
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 64 is the last and final episode of the anime. The story comes to a close as Roy Mustang is visited by Dr. Knox and Dr. Marcoh. Meanwhile, Ed and Al return to Risembol to Winry’s house.
This was the best conclusion to an …
House TV Episode: Unwritten
Well, I ended up liking Monday night’s episode of House, “Unwritten” a little more than I thought I would. But, I have to be honest, I’m still not as big of a fan of this series as I used to be.
The case itself wasn’t terrible. House is treating his …
Sea Hunt: Counterfeit TV Show
Sea Hunt: Counterfeit, from February 1960, began with diving expert Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) relaxing on vacation in the Bahamas. I did chuckle on the narration when he mentioned that his chosen activity while on vacation was skin diving, which is, of course, his occupation.
The thing about Nelson’s …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Chain of Command, Part Two
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Chain of Command, Part Two is one of the series’ darkest episodes and also one of the show’s best. In this episode, a captured Captain Picard is interrogated, humiliated and tortured by a member of the Cardassian military while Captain Jellico works on …
YOUNG SHELDON, series
As a fan of THE BIG BANG THEORY, I couldn’t help but watch its spin-off YOUNG SHELDON.
Honestly, when I found out that the leading roles would be given to children, I had my doubts, but would the series be interesting? After all, children are much harder to play …
NCIS: Pop Life
When a guy named Willy is caught in bed with a dead naval officer, he is arrested for murder. He swears up and down that the dead woman in his bed is not the same woman he slept with the night before. It is up to NCIS …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Four - Best Day Ever
Spongebob is really down on himself, and his friends decide that they are going to give him a day for him, and make it his best day ever. This is one of my daughter’s absolute favorite episode, but I think she likes it so much for the song. I …
Stargate: Infinity: Us and Them TV Show
There’s lots of greenery and a flowing pink waterfall in Stargate: Infinity: Us and Them. The team had a bit of a rough arrival, though, almost riding over the cliff’s edge. I’m not surprised, considering how fast they ride those motorcycles and vehicles through the Stargate all …
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, …
Jericho (tv show)
Maybe its just me, but this fall season a new show called Jericho is on prime time television and I have attempted to watch the show three times now and I have not a clue what the main idea is. I get the idea that the town has …
Models of the Runway
Well, I survived the season premiere of Project Runway and noticed there was a different show on right after, Models of the Runway. Since our infant daughter was wide awake still, i took the time to watch it too.
This was something a bit different. Basically, it is a half …
FOX TV’s Glee TV Series
When I first heard about Glee, I didn’t want to start watching it. But I started watching videos on YouTube with the actors and I realized that it must be a really interesting thing to watch.
First, if you don’t know what Glee is about —“ it takes place in …
Doctor Who Special 3: The End of Time Part 1
So we come to the first of the two part finale that marks the end of David Tennant’s run as the Doctor. It aims big, I’ll give it that, but I can’t help but feel like it fell flat a little.
The episode picks up on the prophecy that …
Survivor Grasps At Straws (tv show)
I find Survivor’s latest ploy to get ratings rather stuid. They would have been better off removing the show from Prime Time about a year after it began, and gone out with dignity and grace. Now, this season, they are attempting to have people from different cultural …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Silver Queen
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Silver Queen is a wonderful story of kindness, the best kind, that given freely with nothing expected in return. An old friend of Paladin’s, a prospector named Leadhead Kane (Earle Hodgins) is infatuated with a beautiful French actress named Annette Vargas (Lita …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 29: Beneath These Streets
I was going to bemoan the fact that the episode opens with the Ghostbusters suffering from slow business. After all, that was a plot point in the last episode, but luckily, it gets quickly tossed aside as the plot gets underway.
I do mean underway in one of the …
The Mentalist - TV show
The first few times I saw this show, I didn’t really grasp the concept and couldn’t figure out why a police investigative team would have some random guy (who used to be a con artist) on their team. It just seemed like a stretch. Of course, I have been …
Criminal Minds: Safe Haven TV Show
Criminal Minds: Safe Haven was another very violent hour of television, though it was also a compelling sixty minutes that held my attention throughout. This was a combination of the story and the acting, primarily from the talents of Mare Winningham.
In this show, the BAU goes after a …
Grey’s Anatomy show
If you’ve never heard of Grey’s Anatomy you must’ve been leaving under a rock because it’s one of the most popular shows out there. Grey’s Anatomy is on the ABC network. This follows the lives of a handful of medical interns, one of which is name Meredith Grey, and …
Max & Ruby
There really aren�t many cartoons on television I�ll approve 100 percent for my daughter. The bulk of them are either too cheesy or feature crude humor; two things that will either make it boring for her or will make me want to monitor which episodes she watches.
The show Max …
The Biggest Loser
I am addicted to The Biggest Loser like just about everyone else I know. I think it’s a fine game show. However, I have one criticism. I hate when they lose so big in the first week and later weeks they act so disappointed that they *only* lose like …
Emperor’s New School: Cool Summer
Well, another episode of Emperor’s New School and I can see why the show lasted only two seasons on Disney.
The episode “Cool Summer” had a few funny moments but, once again, was kind of predictable.
Kuzco is on vacation on the beach with Pacha and his family and is embarrassed …
Undercover Boss: Choice Hotels TV Show
Steve Joyce, CEO of Choice Hotels, is the executive going under cover in this first show of Undercover Boss’ second season. They’ve changed up the scenario a little bit to try to prevent people from realizing what is happening, now that this is the second year of the …
Butt Ugly Martians
WHen I was younger and still had not graduated high school, my younger brother would watch cartoons on Saturday mornings and after a while one of those cartoons I noticed was a show named “Butt Ugly Martians”. The first time I heard of it was when I saw him …
CSI Season 2 Episode 14 The Finger
This is one of my most favourite episodes in the show. It is episodes such as these that make it absolutely fantastic and gets you addicted to it. I loved the plot, it is full of discoveries and twists and is completely unexpected. It was not much about the …
Family Guy: Love, Blactually
OK, I know I shouldn’t be letting my daughter watch Family Guy at all. But, a lot of the episodes really aren’t any worse than what she would see on a show like Spongebob. However, the episode that was on yesterday afternoon, Love, Blactually, is one I definitely regret …
That Girl: Call of the Wild
Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) goes on an audition for a commercial in That Girl: Call of the Wild and though she gets the part, she becomes very depressed by the reason why she won the role. According to the man doing the hiring, Ann doesn’t have any sex …
Dora the Explorer: Rapido Tico
I ended up coming home yesterday to my daughter watching Dora the Explorer on TV (thank you Direct TV for all those kids’ channels). As I sat down relaxing, I ended up watching one episode with her “Rapido Tico.”
This episode was basically dedicated to their friend Tico the squirrel, …
TV Series Bones
Bones the television series is about a Forensic Anthropologist named Temperance Brennan who helps the FBI solve cases. She works alongside the handsome FBI agent called Booth who is played by David Boreanaz. The two get on very well working together. They solve all kinds of …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Telly Savalas TV Show
Kojak himself, Telly Savalas, was roasted by a dais of entertainers on this outing of The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast, which was filmed in Las Vegas. The Man of the Hour took his seat while being honored, zinger style, by those on the dais. Now those on …
MacGyver: The Ugly Duckling
MacGyver: The Ugly Duckling takes Mac back to visit an old professor, who is then killed. He ends up helping a teenage computer geek who has successfully hacked into government systems. She eventually is kidnapped by weapons dealers who want her to do some hacking for them, …
Home Improvement Show
I love this show, Home Improvement. It reminds me of growing up in the ’90s. I loved the banter between Tim Allen and Patricia Richardson, who played his wife, Jill. I like how they work everything out with each other and care about what the other thinks. And they …
Law & Order SVU: Persona
Well, the Special Victims Unit Episode “Persona” was a bit depressing last night, but really gets you thinking.
Basically, this was an episode about spousal rape and abuse and how the laws have changed recently. The show starts out with an abusive husband raping his wife (which leads to a …
The X-Files: Improbable
An unusual episode, but one of the more interesting of the final few seasons; Improbable offers us a strange tale of numerology, a hunt for a serial killer and a strange individual who seems to know the answers to everything, played by the brilliant Burt Reynolds.
It’s Reyes who’s …
Stargate Atlantis: The Shrine
Stargate Atlantis: The Shrine is another fifth season program from this series’ final season on television. It’s the sixth show and in it, David Hewlett gets to stand out with his acting skills, such as they are, by playing a Rodney McKay who has gone from genius to …
Sea Hunt: Underwater Park TV Show
Underwater Park was an episode presented towards the end of Sea Hunt’s second season in 1959.
I really enjoyed the opening segment of Underwater Park because of the underwater footage. We have our show hero, Mike Nelson, ace deep sea diver, taking pictures as he comes in, through, and …
The Virginian: Dark Corridor TV Show
The Virginian: Dark Corridor, from November 1968, is a show I watched primarily for its guest star, John Smith. Smith was in my all time favorite western, Laramie, so I tend to notice when he pops up in some of these old show.
James Drury stars as The Virginian, …
Fireball XL5: The Complete Series DVD collection
First of all, owning the Fireball XL5: The Complete Series DVD collection is something I’ve wanted for a long time. It’s a feel good, science fiction, and sentimental thing for me, so watching these shows again was really wonderful.
The five-disk set have a collector’s box that they fit …
Roseanne Season Three
Season three of Roseanne was a good one because it started to set up some regular stories for the series, or at least the next few years. Crystal gets pregnant with Dan’s brother, Becky meets Mark and Roseanne instantly hates him, and Dan starts his motorcycle shop. Plus Roseanne …
The Twilight Zone: The Whole Truth TV Show
Jack Carson was a great comedic actor. I liked him because he came across as genuine, no matter what type of character he was playing, even in this one where he’s a used car salesman who bends the truth all kinds of ways as he sells the cars …
