That Girl: Soot Yourself
This episode of That Girl actually had me chuckling and thinking about a little TV movie called Gidget Gets Married. I’ve never associated the Ann Marie character with Gidget Lawrence before but it just popped into my head that this was going to be what Ann and Don …
Rifleman Episode 4
This past weekend, my wife was away for the weekend so I hade a chance to watch television unencumbered by the thought process. When such opportunities occur, I often find myself watching either old TV shows, or westerns. This week I got to do both.
I find episode number four …
The Andy Griffith Show: Runaway Kid TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Runaway Kid is another winner from the first season of this brilliant family comedy. There’s a lot of importance in this one placed on the father and son relationship between Andy Taylor and little Opie.
I love how the story opens, with Opie and his …

Chelsea Lately on E!
Chelsea Handler is one of my favorite TV personalities right now. Her late-night talk show features a usually witty and on-point monologue, followed by a panel of three comedians, and then a celebrity interview and a closing joke. The half-hour format works well for me, because I …
The Simple Life (television)
“Laugh and the world laughs with you”. That phrase does not always seem to alighn properly with Paris Hilton and Nicole Richey’s, The Simple Life, more often than not, does it? While this dynamic duo makes millions of dollars based upon their innate ability to function in …
The Office: Traveling Salesmen
I fear for Andy’s life, but I’ll explain that later. This episode of the Office was about sales calls, everyone split into group of two and went out to sell paper. It is a rare office when you actually get to see people doing their job and while as …
Life on Mars season 1 Episode 11 Home is Where You Hang Your Holster
This episode starts with really great music; the beginning is really strong and dynamic.

Max Headroom: Baby Grobags TV show
From 1988, Max Headroom: Baby Grobags is the final episode of this unique series. Though there are relatively few programs completed in its run, they mostly all have a point of view and something to say.
In Baby Grobags, Amanda Hillwood guest stars as Helen. She and her …
The X-Files: 4-D
A vicious serial killer flitting between alternate realities to live out his sinister fantasies without retribution is the premise of this episode.
This is a solid enough episode, and one of the first to really seal the new pairing of Doggett and Reyes as something to take notice of. Both …
I Love New York Season One (TV show)
This is like a soap opera with much better actors. The stuff New York puts them through is pretty funny and it is amusing to watch them all trash each other. I do nto expect any lasting love for her nor even really care but the show was amusing …
High School Musical 3 Senior Year
I just watched the finale of High School Musical 3 with my sister a few days ago. She was begging me endlessly and I hate to see her disappointed so I complied. We watched the final offering of HSM during the first day of the grand showing in the …

The Simpsons: Natural Born Kisser
I saw one of my favorite episodes of the Simpsons yesterday, “Natural Born Kisser.” I love this episode because it really puts what a lot of married couples (my wife and I included) do to keep the spark in their marriage into a whole new perspective.
Marge and Homer find …
Highway Patrol: Counterfeit TV Show
Midway through the second season of Highway Patrol, the episode which aired was called Counterfeit. I actually found this show to have an interesting set up. It captured my interest and had me watching. It didn’t even feel dated to me, and that says a lot …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Pack
The Buffy episode The Pack has to be one of the most interesting episodes I’ve seen of the series and it doesn’t even have her fighting vampires.
As like many episodes of this show, Buffy and her friends are forced to fight another supernatural entity; this time it’s a pack …
Cowboy Bebop Episode 8

Highway Patrol: Desert Town TV Show
I have to admit that I really enjoyed Highway Patrol: Desert Town because it had some real drama and the outcome was something that was difficult to predict. It’s not that we haven’t seen this kind of story before, but the action is mysterious and curious. It’s …
House TV Episode: Lockdown
I was looking forward to finally seeing a new episode of House last night. But, after seeing the episode, Lockdown (or, at least parts of it in between putting the kids to bed), I have to say I was very disappointed.
The premise was OK, the hospital is locked down …
The Simpsons: King of the Hill
I’ve seen the Simpsons episode King of the Hill several times and it never fails to entertain me.
This is a very funny episode from beginning to end.
It starts out with the family at a church picnic and Homer embarrassing himself and Bart during a game of capture the flag …
Americas got talent
This is a television show that comes on. I have only seen it a couple of times. I don’t even think that I have seen a whole episode of the show. It’s a show where people go in front of the judges and an audience and show there talent. …
Castle, Television Show
Castle is ome of my new favorite shows on television. I love that Castle is very entertaining, has great plots, is funny, and there is always a who done it mystery to figure out. This is one of the few prime time shows on that I feel really comfortable …
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 …

Orchestra United: Episode 4 TV Show
This is the big moment, the big show, for Orchestra United. It’s just the fourth episode, but apparently, that’s all there is. I’m just stunned that an entire year has gone by since 75 high schoolers were brought together to form the band. For that, we’ve …
One Tree Hill
I love the show One Tree Hill. It has been a favorite of mine since the first show started. I own seasons one and two on DVD. If I ever have some extra money I will buy the next seasons on DVD. I love all of the characters and …
The Virginian: Big Day, Great Day
For a western, The Virginian did do some very different things. For example, The Virginian: Big Day, Great Day includes a day at the lake with visitors in their swimming suits. Not only that, but the opening scene includes a phone call in Denver. A western …
How I Met Your Mother: Naked Man
“Naked Man” is the episode of How I Met Your Mother originally airing on November 24, 2008 on CBS. This was a good episode of a very funny series. It was nice to see Ted bounce back from his depression since Stella dumped him at what was …
Gilligan’s Island - All About Eva Episode
Season three episode 82 is interesting since Ginger actually plays two roles, herself as Ginger and also Eva Grubb. Eva travels to the island by boat to leave men and society behind due to her depression from men rejecting her. Her emotional state leads her through this whole show. I …

Meet The Parents - TV Show - E4
If you are a single lad, or a lad that has recently started seeing a new girl, then I have seen a t.v show that would really put me off the idea of ever being in a relationship again. Meet The Parents on E4 is where a lad can …

Jessica Soho’s Show
I have never followed any show that is produced by GMA TV channel 7. I obviously am a follower of the other network - their rival named ABS-CBN; however, the time I had nothing else to watch but the show of Jessica Show, I immediately liked it. The show …
NCIS: Yankee White Season 1, Episode 1
“Yankee White” was the first real premiere of the show NCIS. While NCIS was introduced in two spin off episodes of “Jag” entitled “Ice Queen” and “Meltdown,” this was the first time viewers got to see the actors and the show flying solo.
When this episode began, there were …
Stargate SG-1: Counterstrike
It’s back to the worst with Stargate SG-1: Counterstrike. This episode is what I call the bonding show. It’s the one where Daniel and Vala are supposed to bond some more. Where can I throw up? Daniel tells her about Sha’re and that history, in …
Friends - The one where Joey speaks French
Joey receives a call from his agent to send him on an audition where he is going to have to speak French during the audition. While Joey has never spoken a word in French in his whole entire life, he has it on his resume, so he needs to …
The X-Files: Season 1, Episode 23: Roland
On its own merits, this episode is not half bad. The one major drawback is that the plot is very, very similar to that of the last episode. While comparison between this and “Born Again” were inevitable, I can’t help but feel like the producers made a …
The Starter Wife
I’ve seen plenty of ads for the show The Starter Wife and I’ve always been a big Debra Messing fan. But, last night was the first opportunity I’ve had to actually sit down and watch the show.
After finally doing so, I have to say it was good but not …
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 …
House: Dying Changes Everything
I have to say I hated it when the series House killed off Amber last season. But, I liked how they incorporated her death into the season premiere, Dying Changes Everything.
There’s nothing like seeing a popular character going through a state of mourning to really move you and seeing …
Avatar: The Last Airbender: Book 2, Episode 15
This episode breaks the format a little in that we don’t get one narrative, rather a series of small stories that focuses on each of the main characters.
We get one for Katara and Toph that has them bonding after Katara invites her for a girls day out. The …
Alias Smith and Jones: Journey from San Juan
One of my favorite episodes, Alias Smith and Jones: Journey from San Juan, is a show I never get bored watching. From beginning to end, I enjoy the scenes. Nothing about it tires me, not even after seeing it numerous times over the years. It’s well …
Felix the Cat in Neptune Nonsense cartoon
Felix the Cat in Neptune Nonsense is another animated short cartoon that was produced and released in the mid thirties. These were a bit more advanced than those cartoons of Felix in the 1920’s, which was natural, of course. I don’t recall seeing these before, though while …
Sea Hunt: The Invader TV Show
Sea Hunt: The Invader aired in July 1960 as the 30th outing of the underwater adventure series’ third season on the air. The show had a decent amount of under the water activity but it wasn’t as fun as others have been for a couple of reasons.
First of …
Stargate Atlantis: The Daedalus Variations
Stargate Atlantis: The Daedalus Variations begins with the always insecure Rodney McKay (David Hewlett) grousing about Teyla keeping her baby from him. It’s an insane conversation that includes a tidbit about McKay having been dropped when he was an infant. I’m with Sheppard — it explains a …
Models of the Runway: NY Here We Come
Much like the Project Runway final challenge episode that preceded it, last night’s Models of the Runway episode was one that was kind of predictable.
As I have said in past reviews. The major flaw with this show is, with very few exceptions, the designers almost always stay with their …
