Stargate SG-1: Bane
Stargate SG-1: Bane gives us a lot of big,huge, honkin’ bugs, as Jack O’Neill says. Opening scene is a hoot; I love it. Essentially, Teal’c gets stung and then has a really nasty reaction.
One of the pleasures of this episode is Tom McBeath as Harry Maybourne. …
House: 5 to 9
Well, when I heard last night’s House episode, 5 to 9, was being told through the eyes of Cuddy versus House, I had some serious doubts. She is quickly becoming my least favorite character on the show and I didn’t think I would enjoy the episode.
But, I have to …
It Takes a Thief
The series is great in a sense that it shows just how vulnerable a person’s home is if a thief is determined that he wants to break in and steal everything that is there. Whether you are rich or poor and even if you have the most advanced state …
Changing Lanes: Who Will Be in the Top 10? TV Show
Changing Lanes: Who Will Be in the Top 10? is the second show of this series that deals with Max Siegel’s Revolution Racing team’s quest to hire four drivers to race for them. It’s not just any four drivers, though, it’s four drivers designed to bring more diversity to …

Thriller: The Closed Cabinet TV Show
Thriller: The Closed Cabinet was a good hour of viewing. I haven’t seen these Thriller episodes until recently, and now I’ve seen several, most of which have been nice to view. Hopefully, I’ll be able to see more of them. Boris Karloff has a knack for …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Angie Dickinson TV Show
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast roasted the Woman of the Hour, Angie Dickinson, in this show taped in front of an audience in Las Vegas. Dickinson had one of the better dais groupings of the show. She looked beautiful, of course. She truly has been a …
Fireball XL5: Trial by Robot
Fireball XL5: Trial by Robot is a bit like watching a crazed man going even crazier. All across the galaxy, robots are being reported missing and no one knows why. Space City’s head folks begin to suspect robot expert, Professor Himber, of the crimes, though they have …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Heritage of Anger
I can’t say that I’m fond of Have Gun - Will Travel: Heritage of Anger. The main reason this episode of the half-hour western doesn’t work for me is that it all seemed too rush and too easy. A Mexican woman left her son with a couple …
MTV
Lately when I have been watching television I have been going to mtv more often. They have some really good shows on a lot of the time. I like most of the shows that they play. They also play them on a lot of the time. I think that …

The Fugitive: When the Bough Breaks is a poignant episode that guest stars Diana Hyland as a woman who is traveling with her baby. Kimball comes across her when he hops a freight train. As events evolve, he discovers the baby isn’t hers after. Then he …
House: Lucky 13
Well now, the episode of House entitled “Lucky 13″ certainly was intended to bring in ratings. After all, who can object to an episode that features Thirteen and one of her female lovers. I have to say it got my attention.
The case itself was actually quite dull. Another patient, …
The Twilight Zone: One for the Angels TV Show
The Twilight Zone: One for the Angels, the second episode of the series, is one my favorites. It is very well acted and it’s one that touches the heart.
The episode stars Ed Wynn as Lou Bookman, who is what they used to call a pitchman. That just …
So You Think You Can Dance - Nine perform TV Show
So You Think You Can Dance continued on with this show where the nine remaining finalists danced in the hopes of winning the top prize. Following are a few of the things I liked and didn’t like about the outing.

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Lessons
Star Trek: The Next Generation - “Lessons” is an episode that on some levels I really like, but the way in which the episode is handled overall bothers me. In this episode, Captain Picard begins to develop feelings for a new officer and as they begin to explore their …
Medium: Means and Ends TV Show
Medium: Means and Ends was not a favorite outing for this series. It seems to me that this year has been very hit and miss. The show was barely renewed for this season, and I fear this could very well be the last if things don’t pick …
M*A*S*H: White Gold
The problem with M*A*S*H: White Gold is that it’s too much of a vehicle for guest star Edward Winter who returns as Colonel Flagg, the rather odd CIA agent who often ends up at the 4077th unit. I was really surprised by how much time Winter got, even …
Mr.Bean
Mr.Bean is one of my favorite comedy shows. Bean is very impressive with his performance and his creativity is exceptional. Each episode has two to three short plots of around 5- 10 minutes each and theyentertain you thoroughly . His comic timing is perfect, and his face expressions are …
Gilligan’s Island - Home Sweet Hut TV Show
This is episode two and the castaways have decided to build a hut, only one hut to live in. I love how the castaways are optimistic even at the thought of having to live on a deserted island for years and years. Gilligan always causes crazy accidents and this …
Prison Break
One of the best series to ever hit the television small screen, I honestly and truly believe that the hit series Prison Break, has not only captivated me, but has made a huge impact on audiences world wide.
When I watched Prison Break for the first time last year, …
Highway Patrol: Reward TV Show
This was the 39th and last episode of Highway Patrol’s third TV season, and it opened with a nice, long car chase with an officer trying to chase down an injured felon named Ellis Colton, played by Troy Melton. Eventually, Colton dumped the vehicle and sought shelter at …

That 70s Show: Who Needs You
I didn’t get a chance to watch the first few minutes of the That 70s Show episode “Who Needs You.” But, from what I saw of it, I have to admit it was a pretty funny episode that I would definitely watch again.
There were three major stories going on …
Highway Patrol: : Prospector TV Show
Overall, I rather liked Highway Patrol: : Prospector. In this half hour police drama, a prospector thinks he has struck it rich when he ends up with a lot of money, only he didn’t come upon it properly. No, he didn’t steal it, but he finds it …
Highway Patrol: Hostage TV Show
Highway Patrol’s fourth season aired Hostage as its second episode of the year. In ways, this show is about the human condition and how people respond differently to a crisis. At the heart of the half hour episode is a wounded fugitive who takes a woman and …
The Simpsons: Marge Gamer
I finally got to see the Simpsons episode “Marge Gamer” last night and thought it was hilarious.
The whole storyline about Lisa taking up soccer and then getting mad when Homer, who is serving as a referee, ejects her for faking fouls was a bit lame. But, I loved the …
The Andy Griffith Show: Gomer the House Guest TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Gomer the House Guest is a classic episode of this great comedic television series. It always makes me laugh, no matter how many times I’ve seen it, and I have seen it more times than I can count in my lifetime.
There is one problem. …
Ugly Betty
I had just watched a couple of episodes of the new TV series Ugly Betty. The first impression I had for this series was that it has a striking similarity with the hit movie The Devil Wears Prada, instead of a lady boss from hell, Ugly Betty has a …
Jon & Kate Plus 8 (TLC program)
My mother told me about this show and suggested that I watch it. The concept of a woman giving birth to sextuplets is fascinating in and of itself. Giving birth to more than four babies at once is fascinating. But this show takes things …
The Twilight Zone: I Shot an Arrow into the Air TV Show
From season one, The Twilight Zone: I Shot an Arrow into the Air is a decent show, but perhaps it is the ironic and tragic fate of the story’s characters that puts me off. It’s not really one that has a happy ending, and I’m not into melancholy at …
Monk - The TV series
I like watching comedy TV shows but they have to be interesting as well. I don’t like vulgar comedy or that which is developed from some one’s mistakes and mishaps. A comedy show can also be intelligent.
There have been many such comedy series - one of …
The one with Monica and Mike Playing Ping Pong

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 2.16
“Some Must Watch, While Some Must Sleep” is one of those episodes that is not only filler but one that you could easily skip over and move on to the next with your knowledge of the chronological story line not being effected whatsoever. Seriously, this sixteenth episode of the …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Chase
Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Chase is an episode from the sixth season that is really very fast-paced. It does not slow down for much, as the title suggests! In this episode, Picard’s archaeology professor comes on board and invites him along on an exciting journey, but …

Naruto Shippuuden ep: 001-002
I like to watch cartoons and had recently came across a Japanese anime called Naruto. This show has evolved over time into Naruto Shippuuden which is a version of the show here they have grown up nearly three years in the future.
Naruto Shippuuden ep: 001-002 was a double episode …

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.

Bones: The Man with the Bone
I watched a season one episode of the show Bones I haven’t seen in a while “The Man with the Bone.” And, I have to say it is still one of the better Bones episodes I’ve seen.
What I like about this is how you have a murder related to …
The Stand TV miniseries

Friends Season Two - The one with Phoebe’s Husband
The friends have always wondered about Phoebe, because she seems so mysterious. But what they didn’t realize is that she was married in another state to a gay ice dancer, and she didn’t even realize that she was still married to him. It is actually quite hilarious, because no …
Bliss (Oh! Oxygen TV series)
Bliss (Oxygen TV series) - I had never heard of this series until I started perusing Netflix and ran across it. I had heard of female erotica before, but didn’t think much of it. I’m not a fan of the Lifetime channel, and thought …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Three - No Weenies Allowed
This is absolutely one of my favorite Spongebob Squarepants Episodes of all times, and we own it on boxed collection on DVD because we watch so much Spongebob at our house. I started to collect the seasons on DVD when we had kids, just because it keeps them happy …
