Spongebob Squarepants Season One: Plankton
This episode really features Plankton, and you get to know his character quite well. He is the evil wannabe genius who is always out to steal the crabby patty secret formula away from the Krusty Krab. He will do anything and everything to try to get his hands on …
TV show Peep and the Big Wide World
Peep and the Big Wide World is a wonderful kids’ show on public television. The three main characers are crudely drawn birds in primary colors. There is the somewhat smart but crabby red cardinal/robin Chirp, the hilarious and egotistical blue duck Quack, and the innocent sweet little …
That Girl: Fly Me to the Moon
Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) goes to work in an ad campaign for the Air Force promoting women in the service in That Girl: Fly Me to the Moon. Robert Colbert, who I always recall mostly from Time Tunnel, appears as Major Brian James. He ends up jetting …
Bones: Intern in the Incinerator
I got home from work yesterday and was watching a repeat of the show Bones on television “Intern in the Incinerator” and have to say this is a pretty impressive episode.
Basically, they find a dead body in the incinerator at the Jeffersonian (which was really gross by the way; …

Tabatha’s Salon Takeover
Last year, a blonde with a wicked attitude by the name of Tabatha Coffey was one of the contestants on the BRAVO reality series, “Shear Genius”. I couldn’t stand her. She was very brazen and highly critical, and I didn’t agree with much of her assessments about …
“Broke” episode of The Office
I watched this episode of the office today, overall it was really good. One of the best I have seen so far. There were quite a few parts that were pretty funny. There were also some parts that made me smile and some ah ah moments. It showed everyone …
Dead Zone Season 3, Episode 4
This was one of the darker episodes of the series and considering that the show is based on a Stephen King novel, I think that’s saying a lot. The episode starts with Johnny and Bruce driving down the road and listening to the radio. A local shock jock is …
Stylista Season 1
After the influence that I got from America’s Next Top Model, I was hooked in watching Tyra’s recently produced TV reality show, “Stylista”. Unlike Top Model wherein Tyra is hosting the show, Stylista has Anne Slowey from Elle Magazine hosting the show. It also stars Joe Zee, creative director …
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 …
Highway Patrol: The Search TV Show
The first story of the second season of Highway Patrol was called The Search and aired in October 1956. It’s a pretty basic story, I’m afraid. It’s all about a murderer who is trying to avoid capture. He’s a charming sort and manages to get people …
Days of Our Lives - Alice Horton’s Demise Week 2 TV Show
This is the second week of Days of our Lives dealing with the death of long time cast member Frances Reid. The soap opera has taken the unusual and wonderful stance of giving Reid and her much beloved family matriarch Alice Horton a wonderful send off. They …
Psych TV Show
I really love the show Psych and I especially loved the second season. There weren’t any major cast changes and they didn’t feel the need to bring in some new person to throw the cast around. It was just Gus and Shawn, the cops and of course Shawn’s dad. …
NCIS TV series
NCIS is a show on CBS that—˜s a spin off of JAG. It’s one of those crime and forensic type show but it’s angle is military and naval related. NCIS stands for Naval Criminal Investigative Service. I have to admit that I really didn’t tune into this show until …
Bones Season 5: Harbingers in the Fountain
I waited excitedly for the first episode of Bones Season 5. The blogs were buzzing that Cyndi Lauper was going to be the episode’s guest as a psychic and this added to my excitement. I have not seen her seen the 80s when Girls Just Wanna have Fun days …
Hooked: Monster Fish SSN 1 Episode 1
Hooked: Monster Fish is a National Geographic fishing show that manages to be fairly interesting. In the first episode of Season One, the show focuses on those who wrangle and catch huge fish, both freshwater and saltwater. I was never a fan of fishing- I find it boring, …

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 …
As the World Turns TV Show
As the World Turns is one of my favorite television programs. It is a soap opera that comes on at 2pm on CBS. I started watching this show when I was in middle school, and still watch it now long after college.
It has several great story lines that always …
NCIS: Missing
Two of my favorite NCIS episodes back to back. We go from “Dead Man Talking,” to “Missing,” which was a wonderful episode.
This case was full of twists and turns…the kind that makes NCIS the number one drama on television today. A navy man goes missing and it …
The Jeffersons (TV Show) - Louise’s Setback (Episode)
“Louise’s Setback” is an episode of “The Jeffersons”. Louise is the central character of focus in this episode. A local television show decides to do a story on the suicide hotline at the Help Center, and that means Louise is the one that will be interviewed since she is …
M*A*S*H: Requiem for a Lightweight
M*A*S*H: Requiem for a Lightweight is the third episode of this landmark TV series about the Korean War. Starring Alan Alda and Wayne Rogers, the show focuses on their characters of Hawkeye Pierce and Trapper John McIntyre. It’s all a lot of craziness and jocularity, while also …
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 2.17: Ourselves Alone
Wow, prayers actually do get answered, or rather, episodes tend to usually get increasingly more and more interesting as the season finale approaches. With only six episodes left (including this one), it’s almost as if Season 2 has been holding out on us, saving all the good stuff for …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Love of a Bad Woman TV Show
Love of a Bad Woman is the 28th episode of Have Gun - Will Travel’s third season and it has a fun opening with Paladin playing chess. I really like these scenes of San Francisco life more than I do the gunfighter stories much of the time. …
Stargate SG-1: The Quest Part 2
Stargate SG-1: The Quest Part 2 was the beginning of the final ten episodes of SG-1 and the conclusion to the mid-season two-parter.
Here is the good and the bad:
–Daniel with Merlin is great. This is a reminder of who Daniel really is and why we love him. …
Smallville Season 8 Episode 3
To me this episode of Smallville was a bit bizarre. The story was that Oliver Queen had been poisoned and only had twelve hours to live so Clark and all his buddies had to find out what was wrong with him and find an antidote.
It brought up …
Reaper Season 1
I guess many do not like the show Reaper. To be honest, I did enjoy the show and was thinking that it was a bit funny too, the first episode did not start very well, actually but then I appreciated it as the story develops. The idea of selling …
The Simpsons: I (annoyed grunt) bot.
Last night wasn’t the first time I’ve seen the Simpsons episode “I (annoyed grunt) bot.” But, it was the first time in a while and I realized I didn’t remember anything about it.
This episode was actually very funny because it had two great storylines.
First, you have Lisa’s cat, Snow …
Desperate Housewives: Mirror, Mirror
“Mirror, Mirror” is the 5th episode of the fifth season of Desperate Housewives on ABC. This was a great episode that was packed with funny moments while pushing forward the plot with Dave and filling in a lot of holes in the five-year gap from where the show left …
Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer: 9-17-10 TV Show
Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer from September 17, 2010 was another disastrous TV show. There is just so little of interest in this hour.
First of all, there is a crazy bit about changing their seating sides because of Alexis’ hair. That woman is so shallow. I’ve …
Full House TV Show
Who doesn’t love Full House? Sure, Danny sometimes gets so cheesy that you almost have to turn the channel, but seriously I could sit for hours watching it and get a fuzzy feeling inside. Cheesy but true.
It’s about a guy, Danny, trying to raise his three girls on his …
Stargate: Infinity: Stones TV Show
Stargate: Infinity: Stones is a story that centers on Stacey, Major Gus Bonner’s niece. She’s a feisty, independent scientist. Actually, she’s probably a variation of Samantha Carter on Stargate SG-1, only with pink hair.
While on an alien world, she is given some special stones to wear as …
The Cleaner: Meet the Joneses
The Cleaner: Meet the Joneses was a very good episode. While Benjamin Bratt owns this show and is hard to ignore, guest star Annabeth Gish stole this episode. She was so strong and effective in her role as the perfect wife and mother, who not so perfectly …
Project Runway TV Episode: Larger than Life
I wasn’t overly impressed with the season premiere of Project Runway last week. But, mostly because there really isn’t anything else on Thursday nights, my wife and I ended up watching the second episode of the season called Larger than Life.
And, once again, I was left thinking this show …
The Defenders: Las Vegas v. Reid TV Show
The Defenders: Las Vegas v. Reid is the second show of this new law series that is as much comedy as it is drama. For example, in the opening tease, the first bit has the series leads, Jim Belushi and Jerry O’Connell, standing below the big, bold billboard …
Private Eye: Pilot
Maybe I’m just old, or maybe there was just too much going on, but I found the pilot movie for Private Eye to be very confusing in its set up. The first half hour just left me wondering who was who and what was what. It did …
Death Note the Anime
Death Note is an anime series that took my breath away. At first I was skeptic about an anime that could interest me, but after I saw the first episodes I knew this was going to be special.
The story revolves around Light Yagami, a high-school student, head of his …
Destination Truth: Chullachaqui/Bermuda Triangle
Wow, that was a great episode of Destination Truth last night.
First, they traveled to South America (again) to hunt down a mythical creature called Chullachaqui; which looks a lot like a goblin. When we first started watching this I told my wife there was no way they would find …
The Twilight Zone television series
Every new years eve, there is a “Twilight Zone” series marathon on the SciFi channel. This was how I managed to watch many of the episodes of the “Twilight Zone” as before I began to watch the SciFi channel I had neither seen nor heard of it.
There are …
The Sing-Off: Night Two
The second night of The Sing-Off brought us more acapella numbers from diverse groups throughout the country. I lament that the program wasn’t aired live and instead was taped. It really took away from that spontaneous feel.
Noteworthy tried to perform a song by Cold Play, but it …
How to Get Away with Murder, TV show
I’m not a huge fan of Shonda Rhimes. For everyone that doesn’t know her, she is the creator of shows like Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice and Scandal, she likes to mix her characters and give a lot of drama to their lives. I’ve seen a lot of her shows and …
24: Season One
I have to admit, I started watching 24 late. Already a few seasons had been released, and the first time I watched it, it was actually on the DVD set. Still though, I have to give the first season a 10/10. I thought the fact that it …
The Andy Griffith Show: A Feud Is a Feud TV Show
In small town Mayberry, Andy Taylor is both the sheriff and the justice of the peace, something the doors to the sheriff’s office decree, though we really only see it a couple of times in the entire series. The Andy Griffith Show: A Feud Is a Feud is …
Judge Judey
I enjooy watching TV. An I get a kick out of watching people on TV doing “reality shows” I have watched Judge Judy for years, she is entertaining.
There are plenty of Judge or court shows on TV and I believe that the Judy Judy series is …
Doctor Who: Season 2, Episode 3: Tooth and Claw
The teaser for this from the previous episode really had me hyped up. Doctor Who battling a werewolf in 19th Century Scotland alongside Queen Victoria seems like one of those cracktastic plots that are hard to screw up. I figured it would act as a spiritual successor …
