Golden Girls Season One Boxed Set
The first season of the Golden Girls is something completely random, and that is part of the reason why I had to rate the boxed set lower than I wanted too. As much as I love the episodes, the first season is disjointed and discombobulated, with no real pattern …
Bones: The Dwarf in the Park
Well, last night’s episode of Bones, The Dwarf in the Park, wasn’t too bad. Basically, they found the bones of a midget wrestler under a city street (after a sink hole formed, scary) and, while investigating, found a list of possible suspects in his murder; ranging from his replacement …
That 70s Show TV Episode: On with the Show
Well, that was a somewhat funny episode of That 70s Show last night, “On with the Show.”
I actually didn’t really intend on watching it. I just had that channel on because the Simpsons were going to be on at 6 and this episode happened to be airing. When I …
Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Episode 1.11: Dooku Captured
The eleventh episode in the series, “Dooku Captured”, takes a bit of a more lighthearted and comedic approach to it unlike the previous two episodes (”Cloak of Darkness” and “Lair of Grevious”) but does manage to remain interesting at the same time. On board a Separatist freighter, Anakin Skywalker …
En Garde Project Runway
I honestly believe the only reason Project Runway does team challenges is in an effort to create tension among the designers. I mean, who would have thought you could see Rami fight with anyone, especially Sweet Pea.
Last night’s challenge was definitely an interesting one though. The designers had to …
The Unit (tv show)
I’m a tv series fanatic, I can’t stand not watching them for over than a day. Any kinds of show interests me, like horror, sitcom, drama, action, reality show, et cetera. I’m following many series, some of them are worldwide known such as Lost, Heroes, Grey’s Anatomy, …
Star Trek: The Terratin Incident TV Show
Star Trek: The Terratin Incident is a fun little animated show that focuses on the crew of the Enterprise shrinking. From November 1973, the half hour children’s program has Kirk and company passing through a flash of light which both disables their dilithium crystals and also causes the …
Taxicab Confessions
“Taxicab Confessions” was a hidden camera television reality show series which was broadcast on the cable movie channel HBO since the late 1990s and early 2000s. I used to watch it in secret sometimes in the nights ever since I discovered it when I was about twelve out …
Reba Season 2
Reba Season 2 is one of those seasons where you can tell a show is struggling and trying to figure out where it’s going to go next. I was a big fan of the first season, but the second season was a little different and everyone seemed to grow …
The Tyra Banks Show
The Tyra Banks Show stars ex-supermodel, Tyra Banks. Evidently Miss Tyra is taking her fame and fortune to help other people. That is what I�ve witnessed when I see episodes of this show. Tyra hosts celebrities but it seems more than anything, she features real people who have done …
Sea Hunt: The Poacher TV Show
Sea Hunt: The Poacher takes place in Silver Springs, Florida. This is actually the sight where a lot of the underwater shots for the Sea Hunt series are taken. In the show, Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) is doing a scientific survey about whether or not salt water …
The Twilight Zone: The Thirty-Fathom Grave TV Show
I’ve never been much of a fan of The Twilight Zone: The Thirty-Fathom Grave, which is just a little overdone for my tastes. Essentially, it’s a story about a navy cruiser that picks up the sound of hammering on its sonar. Investigation leads to the fact …
That Girl: Great Guy
I can’t say that I’m a big fan of That Girl: Great Guy. It’s a show that aired towards the end of the second season and featured Ruth Buzzi, who has a recurring role as Margie ‘Pete’ Peterson. Buzzi is a talented comedienne, but this role really …

The Elen Degeneres Show - Beyonce
I am a huge fan of Ellen’s talkshow, but i’m an even bigger fan of Beyonce. This week, Tuesday 25 November, Ellen’s guess was no other than Beyonce! Yup, Mrs. Jay Z herself! And to be honest, this is the first time i’m hearing her say yes she’s married, …

Stargate SG-1: Demons
Stargate SG-1: Demons is a sort of odd entry in the minds of some for the third season of the sci-fi series. In this episode, SG-1 find themselves on a planet that is reminiscent of Medieval Europe in their way of living and beliefs.
At issue in part is …
Emergency!: Dilemma
Emergency!: Dilemma began with a really cool directorial shot of the engine and squad heading for their first response of the show. It was an overhead shot that was never exactly repeated, though other similar shots were done in later years. This series employed a lot of …

American Idol - Week 1 Results Show
The American Idol - Week 1 Results Show had some nice moments in it, along with a few things that just aren’t my style. On the latter side was a performance by Kanye West. I just don’t like the guy. He has a prima dona attitude …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 32: Ragnarok and Roll
Where the last episode was a highly enjoyable piece of light-hearted fluff, this episode goes for an epic blockbuster level of story. The entire world is in danger and the threat is on par with Gozer himself. Heck, this one might actually outdo Gozer on some levels. …
Centennial: The Scream of Eagles
Skipping ahead to modern day, the majestic and inspiring mini-series, Centennial, concludes with this episode called The Scream of Eagles. It’s a wonderful wrap up that reviews how the land was loved and nurtured by the Native American Indians and just how the white man has done just …
Touching Evil: Mercy
Touching Evil: Mercy was the season ender for this show. It began with a more detailed look at David Creegan’s near-death three years earlier. I had thought maybe they were going to focus on that completely and maybe get the shooter, but it was just more background …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Marshal of Sweetwater TV Show
Marshal of Sweetwater is a sixth season episode of Have Gun - Will Travel, the successful western that starred Richard Boone as the poetic gunfighter, Paladin. Below are a few thoughts on this half hour show.
–I don’t think I’ve ever seen a scene on TV or movies where …
True Blood 3.5 “Trouble”
The fifth episode of True Blood’s third season, “Trouble”, unfortunately proved to me once again that this season lacks the steam of the previous season. This might be due to the large number of subplots; despite the recent merging of some of them, namely the overly creepy Franklin being …
Life After Tomorrow TV Show
Life After Tomorrow was a television special done recently to look back and honor the hit Broadway stage play, Annie. Who doesn’t know this little iconic redheaded orphan and her dog, Sandy? She’s been a comic book, a movie, and a comic strip at one point or …

The Twilight Zone: Two
“Two” is another episode of the television series “The Twilight Zone” which my boyfriend and I love. In fact, I think it was popular too amongst “Twilight Zone” viewers as it was a little different than many of the other “Twilight Zone” episodes as instead of focusing on mostly …

M*A*S*H: Bless You Hawkeye
Outside of the upcoming Blood Brothers episode which I consider to be tops all the way around, M*A*S*H: Bless You Hawkeye is the best of the ninth season. It’s a show that starts out in an unsuspecting style with Hawkeye Pierce waking up in the middle of the …
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: The Warlord
While Soon-Tek Oh is an incredible actor and does his normal terrific job in Bring ‘Em Back Alive: The Warlord, it’s not enough to carry this show; at least, not for me. In this episode, Oh plays Yataki, the warlord, and he does a good job, as always. …
FIOS TV
Verizon launched its television service, FIOS TV, about two years ago. I am lucky enough to live in one of their testing areas and was very excited about the prospect of having my TV, phone, internet and cell phone all from one company - and on one bill.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Gingerbread
Of all the season three episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer I’ve seen in the past couple of days, the episode Gingerbread is one of my favorites.

Still Standing
A while back when I was watching Lifetime a lot I started to watch a show called still standing. It’s actually pretty funny. The parents are my favorite on the show. Bill and Judy are there names. The kids aren’t really all that funny. I like the show because …
Around the Horn
I’ve become a big fan of ESPN’s more informal programs. I already talked about Sportsnation, but the other one that I’ve really been digging lately is Around the Horn. Like any sports show, they talk about the major sports stories. Like First Take, the format is …
How I Met Your Mother Season - Shelter Island
This episode originally aired on October 20, 2008. It is not as funny as the other episodes but it does help to move the plot ahead. It may feel a little boring at times. It concludes the romance between Ted and Stella.
The break-up between Ted and Stella has been …

How I Met Your Mother - Sorry, Bro
“Sorry, Bro” is the episode of How I Met Your Mother originally airing on CBS on March 9, 2009. You know a show has hit its stride when it can be funny even in an episode consisting of the main characters sit around a table, drink beer, and tell …
Beast Wars - Call of the Wild
Beast Wars - Call of the Wild is an episode that I found a little on the boring side even though the basic concept is an interesting one: what would happen if the Maximals were forced to stay in beast mode for an extended period of time? Apparently, according …
Anuna: Christmas Memories
Frankly, I’ve never heard of Anuna in my life, but as I was doing some TV surfing, I ran across this show called Anuna: Christmas Memories. Apparently, it was made in 2008 and Anuna is an Irish group. It sounds like they are headed up by a …

John Doe: John D.O.A. TV show
John Doe: John D.O.A. essentially picks up not long after The Mourner concludes. It has a very calm, unsuspecting opening with Jamie Avery (Jayne Brook) going to her apartment and being kidnapped by the serial killer.
One of the interesting facets of John Doe: John D.O.A. is the faux …
