TV Reviews
Stargate: Infinity: The Natural TV Show
Stargate: Infinity: The Natural is another lesson show. Actually, I think they all are, but it seems that the last half of the season is much more focused on that than the first half, or maybe it’s just standing out to me because it seems to be so …
Shear Genius
Last night, while waiting for the new season of Project Runway to start, I came across a show I didn’t even know existed; Shear Genius.
While the premise of the show, I admit, is a unique one; I’m not sold on the program.
The point behind the show, as I can …
Amanda Peet on Ellen
Amanda Peet on Ellen is super humble, super gracious and definitely amazing. If I were to grow in my mature years, I would so want to be like her; all composed and having the love of life is so evident in this interview that she had with Ellen. …
The Office TV show
I started watching re-runs of the office on TV not to long ago and it is now one of my favorite shows on. The Office is a remake of a popular British show with the same name. The show has a very subtle brand of comedy that not all …
Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List
Never having been a big fan of Kathy Griffin’s, I was so surprised that I actually enjoyed her show about being on the D-List. On one episode Kathy decided that she was going to go to the Apollo and try to win over a Black audience. …
North and South- BBC tv series
I first saw this series when it was shown on the BBC about 5 years ago now. If you like classic period dramas then this is for you. Without giving too much about the storyline away it’s a gritty drama set in a mill town called Milton, …
The Beast Wars - Part One
The Beast Wars - Part One is the first part of the season premier. As a part of the season one premier, it does do what it is supposed to do and it does it well: it introduces the characters and lays out the plot of the series. I …
Hurl
Hurl is a new series currently being aired on G4TV previously known as TechTV. This program is simply about contestants competing to win one thousand dollars ($1000) by eating a host of different foods at the first one to hurl is the loser. It usually starts of with about …
Medium: Bring Your Daughter to Work Day TV Show
Medium: Bring Your Daughter to Work Day starts uniquely with Bridgette doing a video project where she introduces her family and their summer house guest, a ghost named Tony. Of course, it’s a dream Allison has.
Then late at night, Allison and Bridgette watch 2001: A Space Odyssey and …
M*A*S*H: Rally ‘Round the Flagg, Boys
Edward Winter returns as Colonel Flagg of the CIA in M*A*S*H: Rally ‘Round the Flagg, Boys. He shows up at the 4077th because an angry soldier complains that Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) operated on a North Korean before the U.S. soldiers. This leads Flagg to believe that Hawkeye …
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 …
Naruto Episode 20 Subbed
This episode starts a new arc and goes back to the older comedic style reminiscent of Naruto’s earlier episodes. Sasuke is insulting his two teammates, Naruto is playing ninja with Konohamaru and friends, and Sakura decides to go postal on Naruto and Konohamaru. While running away from Sakura Konohamaru …
Due South: Dr. Longball
Technically, this is season two of the second evolution of Due South, or you could call it season four of Due South as a totality, or you could do what the DVD set does and just combine the last 13 episodes with these next few and call it the …
Law and Order Criminal Intent/SVU
Above you will notice the names of two of the Law and Order series. Criminal Intent and SVU or Special Victims Unit. I know there is another one but I haven’t seen it in so long it’s not part of this review. In fact I have seen the Law …
21 Jump Street: Best Years Of Your Life Season 2, Episode 20
“Best Years Of Your Life,” is a weird title for this episode about suicides, mainly teenage ones.
When Penhall and Hanson are undercover they arrest a young boy named Walker Stevenson. A few days later, after getting out of jail and talking to Hanson, Walker kills himself with a …
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Escape from Kampoon
Escape from Kampoon is the next episode of Bring ‘Em Back Alive, which stars Bruce Boxleitner, Cindy Morgan, and Clyde Kusatsu. Quite frankly, this entire series was disappointing for me. Not much about it appeals. This episode is one of the better ones, which only indicates …
The Virginian: Old Cowboy TV Show
The Virginian: Old Cowboy is not a new or novel idea. It’s been told in TV and movies for decades. I realize this is an older show, but even for the 60’s, it’s been told before. What is the focus is an old cowboy, a man …
Stargate SG-1: Unending
Let me say this upfront and let me be perfectly clear. I watched this episode on the internet and then when it aired on television. I will never, ever watch it again, unless it is to make an edited copy, but I just don’t even see me …
Legend: Mr. Pratt Goes to Sheridan
One of the things that worked against Legend is that it was on the new UPN network. They didn’t have the stamina to let the series grow and really find its strength. Still, what we do have are a collection of tales in which actors Richard Dean …
Joyful Hour
Joyful Hour is a show I ran across while surfing the dial one night, looking for something to watch. I found it on one of the religious channels that I’ve been checking out lately but haven’t really watched in the past. These channels are proving to be …
That 70s Show: Celebration Day
Hey, another episode of That 70s Show that I haven’t seen before; Celebration Day.
I have seen plenty of episodes that took place after this one, but it is the first time I got to see the episode that pretty much changed the entire plot of the series.
Basically, you have …
Dora the Explorer
Anyone who has kids (especially girls) is probably familiar with Dora the Explorer. And, it is definitely one of my daughter’s favorite programs.
When she first started watching Dora, I admit, I wasn�t that big of a fan of the show. The plots were a little too simplistic and very …
Mrs. Columbo: The Valley Strangler TV Show
Mrs. Columbo: The Valley Strangler is from the second season of this mishandled crime adventure drama. I’d forgotten that in this second season they’d divorced the Columbos. I think that is also why it failed. They even had her going back to using her maiden name …
Psych: Who Ya Going to Call
I ended up watching a bunch of Psych episodes before bed last night (it was a late night for us because of the baby). One of them, “Who Ya Going to Call” was a bit on the predictable side.
Shawn and Gus are hired by a guy who thinks he …
The Andy Griffith Show: Hot Rod Otis TV Show
Season four of The Andy Griffith Show continued with Hot Rod Otis on February 17, 1964. The basic premise of the half hour program has Andy and Barney worried when town drunk Otis Campbell (played beautifully by Hal Smith) buys a car.
First up, though, is some competition madness …
South Park: Eat, Pray, Queef
South Park has always been known for gross-out comedy, and this episode continues that tradition. The episode revolves around the national disgust of feminine expulsions of gas as opposed to flatulence, and while it seems to be just another gross tactic, it ends up being a decent episode in …
Face Off Syfy Television Show
Amongst the waves of reality television shows that flock the ‘prime time’ television hours, Face Off is by far, or was, the most interesting of the bunch. With the large amount of talent-based shows including the X-factor, American Idol, and America’s Got Talent, playing on T.V.’s across America, singers …
21 Jump Street - I’m OK,, You Need Work Season 2, Episode 15

When he gets a friend to pose as his mother and …
The Steve Harvey Show (syndicated TV show)
For the six seasons that this show was on the air, I actually enjoyed most of it. In watching the reruns, I can actually see how very corny this program was (and still is.) First of all, Steve Harvey’s brand of comedy was pretty funny in the …
Heroes: A Clear and Present Danger
The first episode of the new Volume of Heroes this episode began with everyone back to their normal lives, seemingly happy to lives as normal as possible. Matt and Daphne are living together and Matt isn’t using his ability, Peter is working as an EMT, Mohinder is driving a …
M*A*S*H: Heal Thyself
The wonderful thing about M*A*S*H: Heal Thyself from the latter part of season eight is that it’s an unassuming beginning full of laughs and comedy that suddenly becomes a powerfully dramatic program. Some might see it coming, but I doubt anyone really had a clue just how Heal …
Battlestar Galactica TV show
Battlestar Galactica TV show was the best tv show I have ever watched. I was playing the game battlestar galactica online, not knowing that there is a TV show ( funny haha I know ). But when my in-game friends told me to watch it immediately, I was like …
M*A*S*H: Bulletin Board
M*A*S*H: Bulletin Board lets Trapper John McIntyre (Wayne Rogers) do the letter home routine. He’s writing to his daughter, Becky, about missing her birthday and regretting it. He then sets out to tell her about the 4077th. I have to think that what we saw …

The Beast: Capone
The Capone episode of The Beast stands out because it featured Lou Diamond Phillips as an agent who is deep under cover. The problem is that the man has been in his role for four very long years, during which his wife divorced him. In essence, as …
Law and Order: CI Season 1, Episode 14
Every so often there’s an episode from the Law and Order franchise that disturbs you and makes you feel uncomfortable. For me that was this episode of Criminal Intent. The episode starts out calmly enough, with a man trying to raise money, though he doesn’t say what. He tries …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Danny Thomas TV Show
Danny Thomas was the Man of the Hour for an edition of The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast, taped in Las Vegas. The only one on the dais that I knew of with a true connection to Thomas was Milton Berle. It’s not that he doesn’t know the …
Season Two: Squid Day Off

This episode of Lost, which originally aired on March 4, 2009, is another step forward in advancing the plot of the series towards next year’s final season. After four years of teasing viewers with tiny snippets of information, J.J Abrams finally begins to reveal the secrets that have eluded …
Burn Notice: Rough Seas
I’m afraid that Burn Notice: Rough Seas did nothing to hold my interest. I didn’t like the plot or the unfamiliar guest stars. Well, I did recognize one of the actors from The UNIT — Max Martini, but he doesn’t make me want to watch anything. …
Star Trek: The Lights of Zetar TV Show
Montgomery Scott (James Doohan) falls in love in Star Trek: The Lights of Zetar. He’s completely smitten with Lt. Mira Romaine (Jan Shutan). We know it’s a doomed romance. They never do well, not even if you get married. After all, Spock got divorced, Kirk’s …
House TV Episode: Baggage
Well, I thought the show House was finally starting to get things back on track a bit with the episode The Choice. But, then I watched the one called Baggage last night and realized it still hasn’t learned.
I used to watch this show religiously because I loved the medical …
A Man Called Hawk: Never My Love
A Man Called Hawk: Never My Love opens with Angela Bassett, who recurs on this series as Bailey Webster, a friend of Hawk’s. Bailey is an intelligent, strong, and self-assured character, only she shows here that she’s also very dumb. This show isn’t back in the 60’s; …

Eureka Seven 36
In an romantic comedy monologue, we are exposed to what at first seems like an series of superficial stories, only to have us make the shocking assertion that more truth lies within these superficial stories then we are willing to admit to the general public. This is the superficial …
