Doctor Who: Season 4, Episode 11: Midnight
Once again, we have a fantastic episode. Sadly, Donna sits this one out, but that gives more time for the other characters to shine (or not given what happens) as well as putting more focus on the Doctor himself.
Interestingly enough, this trip was meant to be more recreational …
The Golden Girls
This review is about a show that is near and dear to my heart. I don’t often get “hooked” on a tv show, much less feel the need to watch the episodes over and over. In fact, more often than not, I turn the channel to a …
The X-Files Improbable Episode
I first saw this episode of the popular 1990s television series “The X-Files” one night on the cable television channel Sci-Fi. At first I didn’t get to watch all of it since I had only gotten to see the last part of it, however I thought it looked interesting …

M*A*S*H: An Eye for a Tooth
I have to admit I really get a kick out of M*A*S*H: An Eye for a Tooth from season seven. It’s a show that focuses on humor via some practical jokes. Unlike some other episodes which have had prankster storylines that were over-the-job and almost boring, this …
House M.D. Season 8 Episode 1
The first episode of season 8 of House is a prime example of why I love the show so much. House is unlike any other show I have seen on TV- it is daring, unconventional, witty, sarcastic and completely unpredictable. Predictability is a core element in creating a successful …
Fame: The Strike
I enjoy Fame: The Strike quite a bit. It’s one of the more enjoyable episodes in this first season of the series. It has good drama and some strong emotion. The big story is a teacher strike. Coming from a family of teachers, this is something …

Family Guy: Stewie B. Goode
I was watching the Family Guy episode Stewie B. Goode last night for probably about the dozenth time and I have to say it is still a somewhat funny episode.
There are two main plot points to this one. First, Peter gets an opportunity to complain about just about everything …

Alias Smith and Jones: Exit from Wickenburg is a fun entry for the second regular episode of this western starring Pete Duel and Ben Murphy as outlaws Hannibal Heyes and Kid Curry. In this show, they become saloon managers after catching cheats in a card game. Susan …
Game of Thrones, Season 2 Episode 9 - Blackwater

The Apprentice: Rock the Catwalk TV Show
The Apprentice: Rock the Catwalk made me wonder if maybe I were really watching Project Runway. Actually, parts of it had some very entertaining moments. This latest hour of Donald Trump’s very long job interview began with last week’s winning project manager, Clint, having a meeting with …

Law and Order SVU Season 1 Episode 6 Sophmore Jinx
Law and Order SVU Season 1 Episode 6 Sophmore Jinx
I did not like this episode, because, first of all, I didn’t understand it. And secondly, I didn’t understand the point of having it at all. Eventually, the killer is discovered, the oldest story that happens in …

John Adams: Peacefield TV Show
John Adams: Peacefield is the seventh and final installment of this HBO mini-series that dealt with the life and times of John Adams, as played by Paul Giamatti. His wife Abigail was portrayed beautifully and painfully by Laura Linney in what I think is her best performance ever. …
The Jeffersons (TV Show) - Florence’s Cousin (Episode)
“Florence’s Cousin” is an episode of “The Jeffersons” where the audience gets a chance to briefly meet one of Florence’s cousins. Florence’s cousin really doesn’t get much character development and he only appears in the episode for about five minutes total. All that the audience learns about Florence’s cousin …
Adam-12: Log 75: Have a Nice Weekend
For me, there isn’t anything terribly exciting about this episode of Adam-12 entitled Log 75: Have a Nice Weekend. The segment I key in on more than the others is one with Norma Connolly as Eva Foster. I met the late Ms. Connolly a few times, and …
M*A*S*H: The General’s Practitioner

Bones TV Episode: The Beginning in the End
I wasn’t really sure what to expect from the Bones Season 5 finale last night. I kind of figured it would leave things hanging a bit to build up for next season. But, at the same time, I was a bit afraid it wouldn’t be as good as the …
Mad Men season four episode two “Christmas Comes But Once a Year”
One of the best currently airing dramas certainly wastes no time in getting into the run of things in the second episode of the fourth season award-winning series “Mad Men”. I can’t really believe it’s been that many seasons already, having started watching right after the first series came …
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 2.1: Samson and Delilah
Season 2 opens with a megabang and doesn’t let up until the final closing minutes. Picking up right after “What He Beheld”, the Season 1 finale, “Samson and Delilah” takes a page from “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines” with the good robot unintentionally gone bad. Sarkissian’s men attack …

Top Chef: Just Desserts: Dessert Wars TV Show

Lie to Me the TV Series
Aside from Bones and NCIS, Lie to Me is another TV series that I thoroughly enjoyed when it started last January. I am happy that this was picked up by a network for a second season. Dr. Carl Lightman (Tim Roth) is the head of a group of psychologists …
Sea Hunt: Sonar Story TV Show
This particular show, Sonar Story, the tenth outing of the adventure series’ fourth season, felt very slow and dull to me. So much of it was underwater, but it wasn’t showing sea life or some natural phenomenon of the ocean; rather, it was Mike Nelson tracking down heroin …

Due South: Mountie on the Bounty: Part 2 picks up where Part 1 left off. With the freighter that Fraser and fake Ray are on in jeopardy, Fraser is trying to rescue the other man. Whereas Part 1 had a little salute to Butch Cassidy and the …
Bravo
Bravo is a channel that I occasionally watch on television. The thing that I like about the channel is that it has some good shows on it. The thing I don’t like about the channel is that is plays the shows over and over. One day they will have …
LAW AND ORDER TV SHOW
At my house, the television set is usually set on TNT, to watch Law & Order. I am a court advocate, and I enjoy watching the workings of the police and of the court actions, afterwards, on this t.v. drama.
The really nicest part of this series is that you …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Hey Boy’s Revenge
I love the first scene of Have Gun - Will Travel: Hey Boy’s Revenge. Paladin (Richard Boone) returns to the Hotel Carlton in San Francisco and discovers some changes have taken place. Among them is a new desk clerk, played perfectly by Olan Soule. It’s quite a …
Project Runway: Eye Candy
Every year, Project Runway comes up with an extraordinary challenge for its contestants. Once it was garbage, another time was plants. This year, in the episode Eye Candy, it was candy.
I was a bit disappointed that the majority of the designers used the candy wrappers rather than the candy …
Kekkaishi Episode 6 (Anime)
Kekkaishi Episode 6 has Yoshimori guarding Karasumori at night when the cherry blossoms bloom at an unlikely time.
This episode is nice because we learn more about Yuri, one of Yoshimori’s classmates. It was pretty good and we also learn more about the Karasumori site. It’s a very …

Khana Khazana
Whenever I have the spare time I love to watch the television. Normally I will be free in the afternoon and I watch some cookery shows. There is a cookery show, which I never miss to watch and that is the Khana Khazana. This cookery show …
Oprah Winfrie Show
Two years ago, when Metro TV broadcasted “Oprah Winfrie Show” for the first time, I didn`t have any idea why people like this program so much. Then, I tried to prove it by sitting nicely in front …

Season 3 of Stargate SG-1 picks up where the second season cliffhanger left off. In Stargate SG-1: Into the Fire, Jack O’Neill makes the sacrifice of allowing a Goa’uld to enter his body. This is done to protect his two teammates. Sam and Daniel watch in …
Angel TV show
Angel is one of my most favorite TV shows. Not only is it entertaining, but it also proves to be very addictive. No matter how many episodes I watched of it, it seems like I can never get enough. The characters are very unique and very appealing, and some …
Stargate SG-1: Icon
This unusual episode shows what can happen when Earth sticks their collective noses into another world’s business, something Jack points out to Daniel at one point. Every time they go through the Gate, they impact the world they’re traveling to. This show, Icon, is really the first …
M*A*S*H: Major Topper
The final episode of the sixth season, M*A*S*H: Major Topper, is pretty good. What I like about it is how it shows off the power of the mind. Most people just don’t realize how much the human mind can do. It’s capable of far more than …
Devices and Desires - Part 2
Part 2 of Devices and Desires continues the murder mystery that is the center of this P.D. James based novel. As always, it’s Roy Marsden starring as the intelligent and intuitive Inspector Adam Dalgliesh. The neat part about this particular story is that Dalgliesh is actually on …

Classic television has done it once again with repeats of The Munsters. The show features Fred Gwynne and Al Lewis who starred in Car 54 Where are You. Pat Priest and Patrick Butchram and Yvonne Dicarlo also appear on the show. However just the characters of …
The Virginian: Ryker TV show
Season three of The Virginian began with a brand new opening theme, which was overdue. While still making use of parts of the original, all of the stars had two shots in the opening, a first and then one with their name attached. At long last, Roberta …
