Warren Sapp on Dancing With the Stars
I love this guy ! I love watching him dance. He is so light on his feet and he uses the steps to his best advantage. I can’t believe such a bigger guy can move so lightly on his feet and look so good doing it ! He is …
Nancy Grace
Nancy Grace is a former prosecutor now hosting her own show on the Headline News channel, a sister channel of CNN.
I used to watch her show, which airs nightly, but I have not been watching it as much lately. I find that once she gets onto a story, all …
Good Eats Show
Perhaps it is the crazy entertaining ways of the host Alton Brown, or perhaps it’s my desire to be educated in the ways of the kitchen; but I thoroughly enjoy the show Good Eats. It airs on the Food Network a few times a day- each episode features a …
Dr Phil
Dr. Phil is a really cool show. I really enjoy watching this show everyday. I think this show teaches people who to be better people and solve their problems. I think Dr. Phil is a pretty smart man. He has also gained a lot of fame after being in the …

Stargate Universe: Subversion TV Show
Most everyone who knows me knows that I’m not a fan of Stargate Universe. Okay, I hate the thing, but I’ve had to watch a few episodes in order to see Michael Shanks, who is a terrific actor and my #2 personal all time favorite actor. That’s …
Rozerem (TV ad)
While watching television, I happened upon a commercial where a man is seated at his kitchen table with Abraham Lincoln, and what looks to be a groundhog, but is actually a beaver. In the rear, facing the sink (presumably washing dishes) is what looks like an astronaut. …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Initiative
Well, I guess that explains the commandos running around Sunnydale. Apparently there’s some sort of government run group known as the Initiative and they are interested in capturing and experimenting on vampires; including Spike (who was captured the episode before).
I couldn’t figure out a whole lot about this group …
The Beast: Tilt
In The Beast: Tilt, we finally get some answers about a piece of Charles Barker’s past, and it’s about time. I can take being teased only for so long. Before that happens, though, we’re treated to poker, Texas Hold ‘Em to be precise. It seems a …
Max Headroom: Rakers TV show
Max Headroom: Rakers from April 1987 starts out with some curious dramatic angst when controller Theora Jones (Amanda Pays) can’t be found, causing Edison Carter (Matt Frewer) to become concerned. While others suggest he just not worry about her and hire a new assistant, Edison refuses and tracks …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Three - Krusty Krab Training Video
Let me start out by saying my whole family are really big fans of all his episodes, and we even have most of the Spongebob Squarepants seasons on DVD so we can watch them at any time. The Krusty Krab training video takes place towards the end of the …
The Simpsons Season 6 Episode 20

In Plain Sight (Pilot Episode)
In Plain Sight is this new show on USA that I wasn’t too sure about when I first heard about it. The show follows a US Marshall by the name of Mary Shannon and her partner. They actually work with those people that have been placed in the witness …
Friends Episode: Phoebe’s Wedding
I love Friends Episode: Phoebe’s Wedding very much. Every wedding has their own religion and tradition, and I’m not caring about that in this episode. In fact, I am so in awe of Phoebe’s dress, she looks so gorgeous and the ideology that she just wants a nice …
The Jersey Shore TV show
The Jersey Shore TV show that was on MTV at first glance seemed like a pile of rubbish, at least that’s what I thought when I watched it the very first time but after the first few episodes I ended up really liking this show for some reason.
First of …
Smallville 8.14: Requiem
There are spoilers so be aware of that before you read the review.
When the episode opened and we saw a chubby man talking to a clown doll, my first thought was “Is that Toyman?”. The answer is affirmative. Like Dan Turpin did a few weeks back, the …
Friends Season One - The one where Rachel finds out
It is Rachel’s birthday during this episode, so they decide to have a little get together and Monica’s place to celebrate her birthday and open gifts. Well, Ross is unable to make it to the party because he has to go to China. Well, during the gift opening they …
M*A*S*H: Hot Lips and Empty Arms
In M*A*S*H: Hot Lips and Empty Arms, Major Houlihan (Loretta Swit) asks for a transfer. She is just fed up with everything and wants out. It all stems from lamentations about past choices, memories that pop up when she hears from an old girlfriend.
What I like most …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Downwind from Gettysburg TV Show
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Downwind from Gettysburg starts out reminding me of the living Mr. Lincoln exhibit from Disneyland. I’ve seen that marvelous show numerous times over the years, and it’s marvelous the way Disney created a Lincoln who could stand and talk to the visitors.
In Downwind from …
The Prisoner: Hammer Into Anvil
In The Prisoner: Hammer Into Anvil, we have another repeat Number Two, the mysterious controlling power of The Village where Patrick McGoohan’s Number Six is being held prisoner by an unnamed group that wants information from him which he refuses to give. The Number Two character tends to …
That 70s Show: Eric’s Birthday
I’ve been watching a lot of the later That 70s Show episodes lately. But, I have to say the original episodes are still the best. Proof of this is the episode entitled “Eric’s Birthday.”
This is one of the great episodes, before Eric and Donna become a couple (well, actually …
Wagon Train: A Man Called Horse
I have to say I was totally surprised by Wagon Train: A Man Called Horse and not in a good way. The main part of my shock is the main guest star, Ralph Meeker. I don’t know much about Meeker, but I’d always heard he was a …
Eastenders TV
I love, love, love watching Eastenders on BBC1. The argument, the tears the drama! And it always happens a big family do, like a wedding, at Xmas or of course in the Queen Vic!
I remember curling up on the sofa when I was a kid and it first started, …
CHiPs: Trick or Trick
CHiPs: Trick or Trick is the Halloween show and it begins great, with 13 black cats running in front of the very superstitious Frank Poncherello (Erik Estrada). For Ponch, it only gets worse, but it makes for great fun as he deals with walking under a ladder and …
Stargate SG-1: Nightwalkers
Stargate SG-1: Nightwalkers is just horrid. It takes SG-1 into the realm of B-movies, only it’s a B-TV series instead. With Richard Dean Anderson off on vacation for a week, Sam, Teal’c, and the ever-smiling-to-the-point-of-nausea Jonas Quinn head off to a quaint little Oregon town with a deep, …
MacGyver: Good Knight MacGyver Part 1

Criminal Minds: Devil’s Night TV Show
Directed by Charles Haid, which might explain Michael Warren being in this episode since both appeared on Hill Steet Blues, Criminal Minds: Devil’s Night had its moments that served to entertain to an extent. The story concerned what is has been an annual event in Detroit in recent …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Great Mojave Chase
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Great Mojave Chase, episode 3 of season 1, starts out with some fun humor, all stemming from Paladine buying a camel to take across the Mojave Desert. It creates quite a stir. Written by Gene Roddenberry, the best part was the …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Loaded Goat TV Show
In January of 1963, The Andy Griffith Show aired a show called The Loaded Goat. The funny thing to me is that because of the way the show is edited for television in reruns, I had stopped watching this episode. I never knew the outcome of the …
Here Come the Brides: And Jason Makes Five
Here Come the Brides: And Jason Makes Five is a show from the first season of this family drama that many people truly love. I’m not quite as fond of it as others are, and there’s a reason for that. I’m not a fan of manipulative characters, …

At the beginning of the show, host Tom Bergeron mentioned that had their been an elimination last week, it would have been an upset, which means that Buzz Aldrin would have been saved. He was the lowest last week, and he is this week, too. He’s 80: …
The Twilight Zone: A Game of Pool TV Show
The Twilight Zone: A Game of Pool is another show I just don’t like watching. It’s a two-person episode from the third season and though the acting is good, I don’t care about the story. It can really be summed up by saying that it’s another one …
Avatar: The Last Airbender: Book 2, Episode 6: The Blind Bandit

Burn Notice: Comrades brings us Michael Westen’s brother, Nate, who is far less interesting than Michael is. In fact, I don’t really care much about him. The two have a strained relationship that leaves you guessing about Nate’s true intentions the entire time.
I do like some of …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 22 - The Wedding
The show is over. Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 22 — The Wedding is the final episode of this navy drama. The sad part is that no one knew that at the time of the taping. Therefore, it has that typical cliffhanger ending that would never be …
The Twilight Zone Original Series: I Shot an Arrow in the Air
The original Twilight Zone is a classic series from the 1950s, which is still entertaining today. I shot an arrow in the air is an episode from the first season. Like all twilight zone episodes, or least most twilight zone episodes, it has a surprise twist ending. In my …
Supernatural
I had always been meaning to sit down and watch the television show Supernatural - I had heard such good things about it and now that I finally have I will be one of those people telling others how great the show is.
Supernatural focuses on the relationship between two …
A Taste for Death - Part 1
A Taste for Death - Part 1 from the P.D. James novel was produced in 1988 and starred Roy Marsden as Inspector Adam Dalgliesh. Like most of these movies/mini-series that are made, this is a story with lots of little subplots and a lot of characters. It …

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig Episode 2
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 2 is the strangest episode in the entire Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex anime, in both seasons, because it does not follow any of the main characters, it is not about any of them and doesn’t enhance the plot …

The Ray Bradbury Theater DVD set
Earlier this year, I was gifted with The Ray Bradbury Theater DVD set, which contains all 65 episodes of the science fiction series on 5 DVDs. I’ve just finished reviewing the episodes, so now it’s time to take a look at the DVD set itself.
There are plenty of highs …
The Virginian: The Long Quest TV show
The Virginian: The Long Quest is one of those that is so hard to watch because of its poignancy. It’s a story of tragedy that really doesn’t have a winner, no matter how you look at it, because someone is going to end up on the short stick.
At …
Neon Genesis Evangelion episode 13
Now as the moment has come for the sync tests of the Evangelion pilots, as it happens every week with Nerv, except this test is going to be a little different than what they originally expected. While this test with all of the teenage pilots naked may be one …
Emperor’s New School: A Giftmas Story
We spent a great deal of time watching Christmas episodes of various shows last week; including the one on Emperor’s New School: A Giftmas Story.
This one actually proved to be one of the funnier ones.
Since this show takes place in a part of the world that hadn’t discovered Jesus …
