CSI Season 3 Episode 6- The Execution of Catherine Willows
The beginning of the episode was, for no better choice of words, plain cool. It was so unexpected that it grabbed my attention right from the beginning. They did a really good job with this one. It was potentially a really tricky subject, but they handled it quite well, …
Beast Wars - Coming of the Fuzors, Part 1
Beast Wars - Coming of the Fuzors, Part 1 picks up almost right where the previous episode left off. In this episode, two stasis pods, both of which were damaged in the crash, produce two new Transformers that are quite unlike any of the previous Transformers to emerge from …
Emergency!: Emergency! the Wedsworth-Townsend Act
Emergency!: Emergency! the Wedsworth-Townsend Act is one of my all time joys in the television world. I have loved this movie from its debut decades ago. This was the pilot movie for the Emergency! series which was a mid-season replacement. From Jack Webb’s production company, this …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Submarine Sunk Here TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Submarine Sunk Here, the tenth program of the first year, was spellbinding for its first quarter. I sat transfixed on the screen. The action was intense and dramatic. In fact, I’ll go so far to say it was gripping.
The …
Gilligan’s Island - Physical Fatness TV Show
This episode is a bit comical, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. The Skipper shows his will power and his patience with Gilligan. As Gilligan not only does his usual goofing around, he also pokes insults at the Skipper. And the Skipper matches comments back sot his sets up more …
Criminal Minds: Penelope
I finally caught this episode on the ION Channel night before last. I missed it the first time it came on which really ticked me off. Which is funny, since I had never really watched Criminal Minds before. So why was I upset? It was …
Supernatural on CW TV
The CW series Supernatural will have you sitting on the edge of your seat with the combination of mystery and the evil spirits who are trying to stop the Winchester Brothers from finding their father. It may sound far fetched, but the stories are well written and when …
A-Team TV Episode: Waiting for Insane Wayne
I ended up watching an A-Team marathon this past weekend and one of the episodes was entitled Waiting for Insane Wayne.
This one was actually better than I thought it was. The team members are actually minding their own business and are mistaken for another group of mercenaries a landowner …
Highway Patrol: Reformed Criminal TV Show
Highway Patrol: Reformed Criminal stars Lee Roberts as a man transporting thousands of dollars when he has an automobile accident. This sics the California Highway Patrol on his trail. The kicker is that the man, Frank Wood, is really Frank McCauley, and he has a troubled …
Stargate SG-1: The Devil You Know
The Devil You Know, from season 3 of Stargate SG-1, concludes the events begun in the prior episode, entitled Jolinar’s Memories. For me, this second part is so much more exciting to watch.
On a mission to rescue Sam’s father, Jacob, from hell, otherwise known as Netu, SG-1 become …
Ghost Hunters Academy: Final Exam
My wife and I watched the season finale of Ghost Hunters Academy last night, Final Exam. It was an OK episode because I think it ended explaining more about the series than the rest of the episodes did.
For one, we learned that, instead of going home, the class members that …
Afro Samurai
I recently had the chance to watch the five episodes of the Manga-like action Anime titled Afro Samurai, and must admit it was one of the best anime I have seen for a long time now.
The story evolves under a Japanese Tech setting, whilst at the same time, a …
Home Improvement: This Joke’s For You
As I usually do at lunch time, I was watching an episode of the show Home Improvement. Today’s episode was entitled “This Joke’s for You” and was somewhat funny but yet had kind of a mushy plot to it.
This is the episode where Tim installs his new intercom system, …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Don’t Shoot the Piano Player TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Don’t Shoot the Piano Player aired in March 1962, the 25th show of the fifth season. The show was notable because it was directed by actor William Conrad.
The primary guest star was James Callahan, who quite honestly I could barely recognize at first …
Highway Patrol: Dead Patrolman TV Show
Highway Patrol: Dead Patrolman focuses on the search for the killer of a California Highway Patrol officer. The police have a description of the car, but need to track down the driver. The owner, a woman, says she loaned her car to someone else. She’s actually …
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 …
Dead Zone Season 3, Episode 4
This was one of the darker episodes of the series and considering that the show is based on a Stephen King novel, I think that’s saying a lot. The episode starts with Johnny and Bruce driving down the road and listening to the radio. A local shock jock is …
Forever Television Show
This fall one of the television shows that I was determined to watch was a showed called Forever. Forever is the story of Dr. Henry Morgan who is played by Ioan Gruffudd (whom I liked since I first saw him as Mr. Fantastic in the Fantastic Four trilogy). …
Heroes - Season 3 - Our Father
The December 8th episode (titled Our Father) of Heroes started out with Claire and Hiro back in time, with Hiro trying to get his memory back. They were at the home where Hiro grew up and his mom was there (never had seen her before). It was …
Tila Tequila
Even though I am quite an anti-fan of Tila Tequila, I began watching her “Shot at Love” show with somewhat of an open mind.The first
few episodes revealed that her search for love was bisexual, and involved male and female contestants. After watching this and the “competitions”
involved, I decided I …
Code Geass Episode 10 (Anime)
Code Geass Episode 10 has Lelouch feeling pleased that more people are joining the Black Knights while the enemy is making it’s move against the Japanese Liberation Front.
This episode was really good and the games are just beginning and it’s a great episode because it just keeps getting more …
Star Trek: All Our Yesterdays TV Show
Didn’t Spock just have a romance a couple of weeks back? Well, here we go again with Star Trek: All Our Yesterdays from March 1969. I actually like the majority of this show and with the way that the plot goes, the romance isn’t ridiculous. The …
Paris Hilton’s My New BFF - Our Friendship Is Over
So we all know Paris is out to find herself a new bff……oh yes. The last episode on Mtv Wednesday night was entilted Our Friendship is Over. Paris had Ryan Seacrest interview the girls, asking them a few candid questions like “which of the girls in the …
Everybody Loves Raymond
Everybody Loves Raymond is a great comedy sitcom. I like that this sitcom actually portrays real-life circumstances. The characters in Everybody Loves Raymond are down-right hilarious, especially Raymond and his dad. Raymond is married and has three children. He lives next door to his doting/nosy mother Marie and comical …
Family Guy: It Takes a Village Idiot
Last night’s re-run of the show Family Guy was and OK episode but not a great one. The episode; entitled “It Takes a Village Idiot” has Lois running for mayor against Adam West because she has concerns about him being too corrupt for the job.
The lead-in to the election …
Emergency! Zero
I haven’t seen any episodes of the old television show Emergency in some time now. But, we had dinner at my parents’ last night and my dad was watching it so I ended up watching one with him; “Zero.”
This episode turned out to be halfway interesting. You have a …
Stargate Atlantis: Whispers
From September 2008, Stargate Atlantis: Whispers, episode 7 of season 5, again brings back the delightful character of Dr. Carson Beckett, played by Paul McGillion. They also have something new, an all female SG team. Now that’s a first.
The good and bad of Whispers from my point …
Highway Patrol: Transmitter Danger TV Show
The fourth show of the fourth season on TV, Highway Patrol: Transmitter Danger was another show that focused on dynamite. They’ve done this a couple of times so it wasn’t the freshest of plots to be doing in this half hour show. This show is about the …
The Office: Did I Stutter
Stanly is rarely given much to do on The Office. In many episodes he seems to only be there so Michal can be racially insensitive, but the actor is very funny and it’s good to see an episode where he has more to do.
In this episode, Stanly disrespects Michal …
House: Teamwork
Well, once again, the show House seems to be changing the cast again. At least they managed to bring back Thirteen and, since there really wasn’t any point in her, got rid of Cameron (though I have a feeling we’ll see her again).
This wasn’t a bad episode either. You …
Big Bang Theory TV show
I can’t believe that for the last few years I have not been watching Big Bang Theory. I heard about it, but the description of the show did not seem appealing to me at all. I sounded like just another one of those “time wasting” sitcoms.
One day, when …
Gilligan’s Island - Hi Fi Gilligan TV Show
This episode is great! You know there is not even one dull moment in the whole show, full of surprising events that keeps you guessing what will happen next. It plays as more an outrageous show and yes is unrealistic, but still good. Gilligan of course gets into trouble, …
Masters of Horror: Jenifer by Dario Argento
The Masters of Horror was something Showtime came up with awhile back that I thought was an unbelievably cool concept. All though all the different episodes of this series vary in quality, execution and production values I found something I liked in most of them. One of …
Futurama TV Episode: I, Roommate
I haven’t seen the series Futurama in a while but have recently had an opportunity to watch several episodes on our Netflix Instant Watch. One of the episodes I got to see was one I actually remember watching before; I, Roommate.
Even though I had seen it before, the episode …
Two And A Half Men: The Devil’s Lube
“The Devil’s Lube” is the episode of Two And A Half Men originally airing on CBS on December 15, 2008. This episode was not one of the better ones, as it featured a needless cameo by Emilo Estavez playing Andy, Charlie’s womanizing best friend.
Most shows featuring star cameos …
CHiPs: Mait Team
CHiPs: Mait Team is another one of those opportunities where we get to see another part of the law enforcement job handled by the California Highway Patrol. In this episode, Brianne Leary’s Officer Sindy Cahill is involved in a traffic accident that has her vehicle rolling over onto …
The Walking Dead TV show - S03 E08 The Mid-Season Finale
The mid-season finale of “The Walking Dead” had a lot going on. The episode leaves you exactly where I hate it, on a cliff-hanger in every aspect imaginable wondering what happens next. What happens to Daryl? (Who really cares about Merle right?) Are the people safe …
Ergo Proxy episode 5
With the times changing, Rondo must comply with the change. Vincent Law, an immigrant from the Miosc Dome, has begat such change in the minds of all of the fellow citizens in Rondo dome. Making the most revolutionary escape from rondo, he now lives among the banished fellow citizens …
That Girl: There Sure Are a Bunch of Cards in St. Louis Part 1
Now that they are engaged, Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) and Don Hollinger (Ted Bessell) head to St. Louis for Ann to formally meet the rest of Don’s family. Missing is his sister, Sandy, and that is unexplained and a glaring oversight in my opinion. On the good side, …
Hogan’s Heroes: One Army at a Time
Well, that was a somewhat interesting episode of Hogan’s Heroes that was on at lunch today; “One Army at a Time.”
Basically, in this episode, they are trying to blow up a Nazi bridge. But, they are interrupted as they are making their way there and, because he is dressed …
Prison Break Season 3 Episode 2- Fire/Water
Prison Break Season 3 Episode 2- Fire/Water
The story continues as Michael tries to figure his way out in the Sona prison. Lincoln’s character is now taking a more active role in the series. I guess that makes sense, since he is on the outside. It’s too bad they made …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Family
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Family is an episode in the fourth season that deals partially with the events from the previous two episodes, “The Best of Both Worlds” parts one and two. The story is divided up into two parts: a story that deals with Picard coming …
Naruto Episode 32 Subbed
This episode has some action in it, but not a lot, and it certainly is not very exciting. Despite the fact that we have seen very little of Rock Lee in the previous episodes, everything we have seen points at him as being quite powerful, but he is nothing …
Jerry Lewis
Jerry Lewis who will be 71 this year is about the most charasmatic yet humble actor ever to come across the screen. His generosity goes above and beyond. He is president of the Muscular Distrophy Association and has been doing the telethon for over 25 years now …
“Extreme Makeover : Home Edition” (Tv show)
I absolutely love “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition”! This show really spotlights people in need and that there are people out there that want to help them. Everytime I watch this TV program, I cry. Not so much that Im sad, but for the fact that I am so happy …
The Rachel Zoe Project: Zoe vs. Zoe TV Show
In The Rachel Zoe Project: Zoe vs. Zoe, the baby battle continues, and it may just be heating up to a point of no return. At issue between successful fashion stylist Rachel Zoe and her husband and president of her company, Rodger, is their personal life (or lack …
Adam-12: The Tip
For me, one of the things that stands out about Adam-12: The Tip is that Chuck Courtney has an uncredited part as bad guy, Russell Simms. I’m not sure why he didn’t make the end theme credits, but for some reason, Adam-12 had a habit of not crediting …
Tru TV
Once upon a time, a cable channel took the world by storm. Court TV became a sensation, thanks to the OJ Simpson trial. Every day, Court TV was there with the proceedings. This was this banner — live action in courts all across America, with experienced …
