Shatner’s Raw Nerve: Regis Philbin
Shatner’s Raw Nerve: Regis Philbin proved to be much more interesting than I thought it was going to be. I loved the opening remark when Shatner said something to the effect of, “We’ve known each other 40 years, but we really don’t know each other.”
Regis talked a bit …
Serial Experiments Lain Episode 1: Weird
This episode is titled “Weird” and boy does it live up to the name. It’s not as imcomprehensible as I thought it would be, but it’s still pretty bizarre.
For the first seven minutes or so we don’t even have a plot, just a seemingly random collection of mini-scenes. …
Family Guy TV Episode: Quagmire’s Dad
After last night’s Simpson’s repeat, I left the TV on and started watching the Family Guy episode that was following it; Quagmire’s Dad. About 10 minutes into the episode, I realized it really wasn’t suitable for my daughter and sent her out of the room (I told her she …
Psych TV Episode: Six Feet Under the Sea
Synopsis: While being forced to attend a funeral for a famous Sea Lion, Shawn begins to suspect the creature was murdered and, as a result, is asked to investigate the animal’s death.
What I liked about this episode: I think the funniest part of this episode had to be the …
Star Trek: The Empath TV Show
Kathryn Hays was awesome in Star Trek: The Empath where she plays Gem. Hays has those big eyes; they were perfect for this role. She’s been on many shows over the years, but is best know probably for being on As The World Turns for the last …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Four: Skill Crane
Mr. Krabs decides one day that he needs to bring something into his restaurant that people would enjoy that would bring in more money since he is so money hungry. He decides that a skill crane would be the best thing because all the kids would want to play …
Dancing with the Stars - 3/22/10 TV Show
Dancing with the Stars began its 10th season by introducing Brooke Burke as the new co-host, replacing Samantha Harris. Brooke was too low key. She’s hosted before so I was surprised she didn’t have more spark to her frequent bits on the show. Maybe it was …
According to Jim
If you like funny TV shows,I am sure that you will like to watch “According to Jim”.It is a hilarious TV show.I am watching According to Jim for two years now,and I really love to watch this show,it is funny,interesting.”Jim”(Acted by comedian Jim Belushi)is the head of the family,and …
The X-Files Fallen Angel Episode
When I first watched this episode on The Sci-Fi cable channel, I could not understand what it was about. I found myself wondering constantly if the thing Mulder and Scully were investigating in the episode was a literal fallen angel or a U.F.O. I could not understand how a …
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 …
Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Wire
An overhanging wire in the backyard of the David household is spoiling the view, and driving Cheryl nuts. All it’ll take to get rid of it is a final signature from an adjacent neighbour; simple, if not for the fact this is Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Larry is on top …
Marcel’s Quantum Kitchen
Synopsis: This SyFy Channel show has Chef Marcel attempting to make meals for weddings, etc. using some unique scientific methods and experiments while in his kitchen.
What I liked about this show: I have to admit, the tools he uses along with some of the techniques are pretty cool. In …
John Doe: Shock to the System TV show
I do like the opening scene from John Doe: Shock to the System because it keeps the continuity alive of John wanting to be challenged. He doesn’t want to know everything, and like an earlier outing where he multi-tasked in a chaotic frenzy until there was something he …
The Andy Griffith Show: Opie’s Hobo Friend TV Show
From November 1961, The Andy Griffith Show: Opie’s Hobo Friend had a superb guest star. Buddy Ebsen appeared as David Browne, a hobo who is befriended by Opie Taylor (Ron Howard).
Ebsen’s laid back manor and easy going acting ability really sells the audience on Browne being a hobo. …
Desperate Housewives After the Tornado
Here is a review on the TV drama, Desperate Housewives After the Tornado. How do you get back on track after almost the whole neighborhood has been destroyed by a disaster such as the Tornado? And the episode after the Tornado on Desperate Housewives should be watched. …
America’s Next Top Model 15: Episode 1 TV Show
The 15th cycle of America’s Next Top Model began this week with some changes, especially with the prizes. Cover Girl is still part of the big picture, but the prize are two layouts in Italian Vogue Magazine. Another change is that the goal for the year is …
Grampa’s Silly Scaries
I watched a movie with my daughter yesterday afternoon called Grampa’s Silly Scaries. This was basically a bunch of old black and white cartoons being shown with Grampa Munster (Al Lewis) being cast as the host.
I wasn’t impressed with the movie.
First of all, how many young kids really know …
Stargate SG-1: One False Step
Stargate SG-1: One False Step is one of my very favorite episodes of the series, mainly because there is such wonderful interplay between the characters of Jack (Richard Dean Anderson) and Daniel (Michael Shanks). These two performers have such awesome comedic timing. They can speak in unison, …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Three - Wet Painters
Mr. Krabs decides to hire Spongebob and Patrick to re-paint his house, just because he is too lazy to do so and he knows that he can pay them cheaply. But he warns the two that they have to do a good job and not drip anywhere because it …
Dexter Season 6 Episode 3
While Episode 3 of season 6 of Dexter was done with the same care and intensity as any previous episode of this amazing show, this one I did not like as much. Unlike the previous episodes I can see just what the writers are planning and I really …
A Man Called Hawk: Beautiful Are the Stars
The highlight of A Man Called Hawk: Beautiful Are the Stars is Karen Malina White, who guest stars as a young woman named Lisa. White barely looks 18, let alone the 21 she is playing here. However, she has a lot of spirit by her presence, and …
Watch What Happens: Live
Watch What Happens: Live is new to the Bravo Channel in 2009 and personally, I think it needs to go away and be a memory. I just wasn’t impressed at all by what I saw. The only reason I tuned in was to see who the Top …
Highway Patrol: Stolen Plane Copter TV Show
I’ve said it before, and I may just say it again, but it amazes me how many shows of Highway Patrol revolve around the helicopter. The actual ‘copter’ word is used in numerous titles throughout the series’ run. I suppose in the late 50’s when this show …
Stargate SG-1: Heroes Part 1
Stargate SG-1: Heroes Part 1 has some great moments in it. The premise is that the SGC is being documented. It’s the one-thousandth trip through the Stargate, and they want history to know how the Stargate has helped to shape and save the future.
To that end, a …
The Andy Griffith Show: Opie the Birdman TV Show
The fourth season of the wonderful comedy series, The Andy Griffith Show, began on September 30, 1963 with a very nice show called Opie the Birdman. However, while I have watched this show several times over the years, it’s one I don’t watch as often as others. …
M*A*S*H: Rainbow Bridge
Sometimes things never seem to go as planned, and on this comedy series, unexpected events frequently occur when the captains are planning to go on leave. In M*A*S*H: Rainbow Bridge, just as Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) and Trapper John McIntyre (Wayne Rogers) are about to head for Tokyo, …
Stargate SG-1: Sight Unseen
What I like about Stargate SG-1: Sight Unseen is Jack out and about in Colorado Springs. Okay, it’s Vancouver, but he’s out there in his truck, driving around, getting gas, and shooting at things that aren’t really there. Best part of the show.
Second best part of Stargate …
Law and Order: CI Season 1, Episode 15
A judge, a mistress that just happens to be his law clerk, and a wife with a grudge. That all adds up to a new mystery for the detectives on Criminal Intent. It doesn’t help that the DA just happens to be a close personal friend of the judge …
Ellen talk show
This talk show is a lot of fun to watch. I don’t usually watch it, because I am not home at the time it is on, but the other day, I ws home while it was on. She has very interesting guests, and the phone conversations she does are …
The Vampire Diaries on the CW
When I heard that the CW was debuting a vampire-themed show, my first thought was something along the lines of “Here we go again!” I will be the first person to admit my cynicism about the latest vampire craze, and I was very quick to apply this cynicism to …
TV Episode for Monk: Mr. Monk and the Earthquake
I was flipping channels last night waiting for my wife’s show, Project Runway, to come on. And, I ended up coming across a re-run of the show Monk; Mr. Monk and the Earthquake. Since there wasn’t anything better that I could find (despite paying for 250 channels), I ended …
Columbo: The Conspirators TV Show
Clive Revill gets Columbo: The Conspirators off to a musical start by singing an Irish song. Then we switch to his character, Joe Devlin, telling tales while at a book signing. Mystery quickly sets in when we observe a stranger watching from the window. This is …
M*A*S*H: Officers Only
I suppose someone behind the scenes decided that it was time to add a new set to the 4077th compound. Most scenes have traditionally been in the operating room, the Swamp, Henry’s office, including the clerk’s area, Houlihan’s tent, the showers, and the mess tent. With almost …
Til Death
Til Death is a cool show. It’s a half hour sitcom about a couple who have been together a long time. They are set in their ways and the first couple of seasons focus on the young newlywed couple next door and their differences. The later …
NCIS: Jurisdiction Season 7, Episode 18
“Jurisdiction” is one of the better episodes of Season 7. Diane Neal of “Law And Order SVU” played Abigail Borin, a CGIS agent who was very much like Gibbs. Yes, she does the infamous ‘Gibbs slap’. Yes, she does not believe in coincidences. Yes, she …
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 …
The Batman
I think The Batman is a pretty good show. I really do enjoy the show a lot and I think the Batman they have in this version is pretty cool. I must say I did like the voice of batman in the Batman the animated series cartoon from the old …
The Spongebob Christmas Special
OK, now Christmas season must be here. My daughter and I just finished watching the Spongebob Christmas Special for about the 50th time since it first came out in 2000.
The episode is actually quite funny so it is definitely worth watching. Bikini Bottom learns about Christmas for the very …
MTV
MTV may be the worst channel on TV. Well not quite, I believe BET holds that title.
Anyways, if you want mind numbingly stupid and irritating programs to watch, MTV is your channel. From shows such as My Sweet 16 to Flavor of Love, the madness just does not …
Project Runway: The Sky is the Limit
Well, last night’s Project Runway challenge was kind of cool. The designers had to work in teams of two to make an outfit. Their only requirement is it had to be blue and it had to fit Macy’s Inc. line.
The winner would have their outfit sold by Macy’s, which …
Hawaii Five-O: Yesterday Died and Tomorrow Won’t Be Born
This episode of Hawaii Five-O is the first time that Steve McGarrett (Jack Lord) gets shot. It happens on the beach as he’s out for a job and right after he’s just rescued a little boy from drowning. As McGarrett fights for his life, Danny Williams (James …
Family Guy
I think Family Guy is a great show because it offers mindless animated comedy on the surface, and thoughtful cultural satire upon deeper inspection. I can enjoy an episode of Family Guy whether I’m in the mood for witty, clever commentary or simply wicked slapstick humor.
My …
Kim Possible
If it weren’t for my daughter, I probably wouldn’t have ever watched the newer Disney Cartoons. But, thanks to her, Kim Possible is one of my favorite shows on TV.
Granted, I still watch it mainly for her sake; but I do find it entertaining that Disney would create a …
Ghost Hunters: Altoona, PA
I didn’t watch Ghost Hunters at the beginning of its run about five years ago, but I have watched off and on for the last couple of years. They tend to go to a lot of old places that have reported haunts or mysterious happenings. One of …
Survivor Season 20 Heroes Vs Villains
When I heard there was going to be another all star season of Survivor I was excited but I hoped it wasn’t going to be anything like the previous all star season and more like fans versus favorites. However when I ehard what the theme of this season …
The Simpsons: Bonfire of the Manatees
I was watching a season 17 episode of the Simpsons yesterday, Bonfire of the Manatees. And, while it was somewhat funny, I thought it was actually a bit low-brow for a show that is usually so much better.
The lead-in to the show was kind of cute. Homer blows a …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Brothers TV Show
The 11th show of the fifth season, Have Gun - Will Travel: The Brothers was a good one, full of surprises. In the show, Paladin (Richard Boone) is hired to bring back accused murderer, Bram Holden, for trial. However, it’s not an easy task, beginning with Paladin …
Warehouse 13 season 1 episode 4 Claudia
This episode resolves the case Artie was dealing with in the last 3 episodes. Artie works in the Warehouse 13, he is some kind a housekeeper if I can call him that way, of the Warehouse where artefact that affect people’s behaviour are held.
In last few episodes he was …
