Stargate SG-1: The Fifth Man
Stargate SG-1: The Fifth Man is a fairly entertaining entry for the fifth season of this science fiction series.
John DeLancie returns again as Colonel Frank Simmons, a man on his own agenda. DeLancie is a wonderful actor, who can be delightfully evil and wonderfully playful. He’s very …
Stargate SG-1: Memento Mori
What rally angers me about this review is that I can’t give it a zero, because I’d really like to. It is just one inch away from being about as low as this show could go.
In Stargate SG-1: Memento Mori, Vala disappears and the team is frantic to …
Kyle XY: In the Company of Men
I haven’t’ been watching Kyle XY long, and I had began to fear that this show was a teenage soap opera with a science fiction backdrop, and it may be, but this week at least was less that way. It was still mostly about relationships but there was less …

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig Episode 18 has Batou and the Major in Germany trying to track down the terrorist known as Angel’s Feathers.

Psych: You can’t Handle this Episode
Well, when the new episode of Psych came out and I heard it starred pro wrestler John Cena, I was definitely intrigued. I didn’t expect it to be a pretty decent episode.
This one is a bit sad to be honest, not only is Shawn’s girlfriend (who I just realized …
Destination Truth: Ghosts of Chernobyl/Sal’Awa
Once again, I spent my Wednesday night watching three shows and Destination Truth ended up being the most entertaining of the three.
Last night’s episode once again had the team investigating two cases.
The first case was an investigation of the ghost town around where the Chernobyl Power Plant had its …
Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade
I watched the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, yesterday on NBC.
I thought yesterdays parade was put together rather nicely. The two previous years I didn’t think it was that good, but this years was vastly improved.
As a rule my family watches this traditional parade every year.
I liked the Rockettes. …

Dempsey and Makepeace, UK TV programme
This was an awesome programme. The two leads had such a good chemistry together, they ended up getting married in real life. Cop shows have always been popular, from both sides of the pond, and teaming up an American cop with a British one worked like a …
The Steve Wilkos Show
I love to watch television talk shows at times and one of them is the Steve Wilkos show. Every since watching him on the Jerry show I have been a fan of his. Since he has started his own show I have been watching it all the time. It …

Wagon Train: The Ben Engel Story
Happy days are here again. Robert Fuller is back, sort of. You have to pay attention because while he’s back, he’s not always back. In fact, his back isn’t his back at all. It’s his stand-in’s. Still, he’s part of this story as much …
Paternity
OK, I�ll admit, I only tuned in this week because the car crash promo had me interested. Who gets seriously hurt; Olivia or Elliott�s pregnant wife?
Overall though, I thought this episode was weak at best. You had a debate about whether a child should know if his father isn�t …
Vikings (TV series)
One of my favourite television series as of late is “Vikings”. It’a almost completely unexpected too, since while I’ve been hearing about how good it was since 2013, I just never thought that I would enjoy it almost as much as I enjoy Game of Thrones. As it turns out …
Death Note Episode 30 (Anime)
Death Note Episode 30 begins with Near suspecting that Kira is on the Japanese task force and that he’s the new L. Meanwhile, Mello talks to Near about getting his photograph back and Near learns more about the Death Note.
This episode is pretty interesting because it shows …
American Idol Season 7: Dallas
American Idol is staring a brand new season and this season is starting out with a splash. The Dallas audition had some great talents and some that are just plain weird. My favorite out of the two hour show is the guy that auditioned last. He wore a white …
Beast Machines - The Reformatting
Beast Machines - The Reformatting is the first episode of the Beast Machines series and it is a good one! I think the writers did a superb job of conveying a sense of confusion that the viewers could share with the characters, that have no idea what is going …

Doogie Howser M.D.
I think that Doogie Howser M.D. is one of the coolest old TV shows I saw growing up as a kid. This show was alway really funny. I think it was really cool how Doogie Howser was so smart even though he was so young. I mean he used …

Adam-12: Log 175: The Con Artists
The opening banter of Adam-12: Log 175: The Con Artists is cute. Officer Jim Reed (Kent McCord) complains to his partner, Officer Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) that his father-in-law is continually buying toys and things for his baby. It’s cute as he worries about there not being …
The Jeffersons (TV Show) - The First Store (Episode)
“The First Store” is an episode of “The Jeffersons”. It is one of the more emotionally-charged episodes of the series. By emotionally-charged, I mean the episode is designed to invoke a strong emotional response in the audience. It certainly had that affect on me. In this episode, George and …
Diagnosis Murder: An Innocent Murder TV Show
There’s good news and bad news about Diagnosis Murder. The good news was that it was back for another year. An Innocent Murder is the first episode of the show’s third season. Now depending on your preferences, some of the bad news might be deemed good …
That Girl: Leaving the Nest Is for the Birds

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 …
The Forgotten - Diamond Jane
In this second series of this new ABC drama which stars Christian Slater, I find myself more into the story of the dead body than I was the regular characters who make up what is called The Forgotten Network. This network helps the police to identify dead bodies …
Erlin Montel 2
Erlin Montel 2 is a much more improved and personally to me, more better than the 1st part. This part 2 is more revised and it is more natural to see the main actress playing Erlin to be herself totally. She is plump in this drama but she …
Logitech Harmony 300 Universal Remote
I recently purchased a Logitech Harmony 300 four function universal remote from Best Buy for 39.99. The Remote was a great buy.
I have owned universal remotes before, and I’ve often had trouble with the button configuration and programming. The Harmony 300 was simple, easy and effective. It is very …
Doctor Who: Season 4, Episode 15: The Next Doctor
As fans were well aware of Tennant’s upcoming departure from his role as the Doctor, Davies decided to have some fun with the idea. We first saw this with the fake out regeneration in “The Stolen Earth/Journey’s End” and the idea continues here. The title is misleading …
That Girl: You Have to Know Someone to Be an Unknown

The Dick Van Dyke Show (TV Show) - The Bad Old Days (Episode)
“The Bad Old Days” is an episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show”. This isn’t an episode that’s high up on my list of favorites from the first season or any of the five seasons. It’s not unwatchable, but it’s not one that I enjoyed excessively on my first …
That Girl: To Each Her Own
In That Girl: To Each Her Own, the theme is all about computer dating, something that was fairly new at the time. Even though this has been around for decades now, the interest in how it works and the role it has on our society is still relevant, …
Stargate SG-1: Beast of Burden
Stargate SG-1: Beast of Burden is one of my favorite season five episodes of this series. It’s just full of good stuff.

Stargate SG1: A Matter Of Time
This episode begins with an SGC team running away from something and trying to get home. Their voices are distorted as if in slow motion.

The Twilight Zone: Time Enough at Last TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Time Enough at Last is one of the best, if not the best, episode of the entire series. It’s superbly acted, is an enticing tale, is full of irony, and it just keeps your heart pounding as you watch.
Here are a few ups and downs …
Smallville: Absolute Justice - Part 2
Smallville: Absolute Justice - Part 2 continues the introduction of the Justice Society of America into the Smallville lore. This second part was directed by star Tom Welling, who frankly didn’t act all that much during this movie-like presentation. In fact, Allison Mack and Justin Hartley (as …
CSI New York Season 8 Episode 5
Episode 5 of season 8 of CSI New York might just as well be the most touching and most intriguing episode on the show so far. I have lost count on the number of twist in the plot before arriving at the correct chain of event and the criminal …

Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami
I watched the Kardashians on E! network and rather enjoyed the show because there are so many of them. I have also watched “Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami” and enjoyed it because these two are such characters. In any case, the show does not feature Kim (the …
Friday Night SmackDown
If you like fights and wrestling then you will love Friday Night Smackdown. In fact I am watching it right now as I type up this review. I have always loved SmackDown and I remember when it used to be on Thursday nights. Now it is on Friday nights but …
Sable: Watchdogs
There’s one really notable thing about the Sable: Watchdogs episode from 1987. It’s a great show in showing what the blind can do and what their capabilities. So often it’s been easy for TV to stereotype the blind, but in this series, the character of Cheesecake is …
BT Vision
I recently moved to a new apartment and it had a BT phone line already installed, so for convenience I went with BT for my internet services and I also subscribed to BT Vision. I like the idea of having all my services with one provider and I …
Lost: Because You Left: The Lie
I am always happy when a series I’ve been watching comes back on the air, but there are certain shows which carry more of that certain type of joy. “Lost” is one of them. The season premier of Lost; “Because You Left: The Lie” is two hours long and …
