At last the first part of the Chuunin Exam, what we have been anxiously awaiting to start for several episodes now, is ready to begin. So what can we expect for a ninja test? Battles? Weapon demonstrations? Nope, a standard, ten question, one hour paper test. Sounds…fun? The explanation …

I love Carrie Underwood and I think if she plays her cards right, she’ll be around for decades and end up being a country music legend. Of course, there’s a long way to go before then, but she has the potential. As someone who watched the high …

Bart’s last baby tooth is loose, and he’s ready to cash out his earnings from the Tooth Fairy. When he finds a receipt to the United Way instead of his money, Marge explains that the Tooth Fairy probably thought that since his last baby tooth came out, he …

In Adam-12: Log 106: Post Time, Officer Jim Reed (Kent McCord) is worried about an upcoming handball match with another officer. We never find out what happened, but it makes for a quick, comic discussion. The recurring banter between Reed and veteran partner Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) …

Stargate SG-1: The Torment of Tantalus is my absolute, number one, without a doubt the best, all time favorite episode of SG-1. Can you tell how much I love and adore this episode from season one? It is the standout from the entire series because it encompasses …

I was watching our season 3 disk of Ghost Hunters and came across the episode “Best of the Stanley Hotel.” Apparently, at some point in the series, the TAPS crew did a live episode at the Stanley Hotel in Colorado; this time bringing along pro wrestler CM Punk and …

Columbo: Any Old Port in a Storm is one of those shows that has stayed with me since it first aired. I’ve seen it repeatedly over the years and it has a place in my memory cells, even though I’m not fond of the lead guest star, Donald …

In episode 5 of Kourtney and Kim Take New York, entitled Down and Out in New York City, there is major drama as usual.
Kim and her pal with benefits Shango , her former bodyguard from the land down under, Australia, over hear Kourtney and Scott engaging in PG …

“The Stinsons” is the episode of How I Met Your Mother that aired on CBS on March 2, 2009. This was a great, energetic, creative episode of one of the best sit-coms on TV! The plot revolved around Barney but everyone got some funny lines.
Pros: The …

Dead Weight is another first season installment of the Columbo series, which was actually a once a month event back in those days. The show begins with the revelation that a major general’s private company won bids unfairly, thanks to the help of a corporal. When the …

OK, is it just me, or did the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series run out of budget money for making vampires and demons? I’m almost through the fourth season of the show with the episode “New Moon Rising” and there has hardly been any action at all.
Not that this …

Vampire Diaries is a new TV show that debuted the Fall of 2009 on the CW network. The series is based on a book series much like the Twilight saga, only the books the Vampire Diaries were based on pre-dates the Twilight series by about ten years. Vampire Diaries …

I just love the title of this fourth season episode of Have Gun - Will Travel. It’s called Fandango, which in this case means tomfoolery. It intrigued me from the start.
Leonid Kinskey has a bit part as Yevgeny. He was playing chess with Paladin in San …

I have a couple of episodes of Highway Patrol in my personal video collection, but I haven’t seen the series in years. Now one of the cable networks is rerunning it, and it’s a great opportunity to watch this groundbreaking series again. As many of the so-called …

The West Wing was created by Aaron Sorkin, who previously had an excellent, under-rated series called Sports Night. The West Wing is a fictionalized account of the White House. Martin Sheen plays president Jeb Bartlett. While Bartlet is ever present, the focus of the show is …

That Girl: Among My Souvenirs is a fairly confined show in that there really is just one guest star, Steve Harmon. Harmon played Ensign Pulver in the TV series Mister Roberts and he appeared in one of my favorite Disney films, The One and Only Genuine Original Family …

I am really a big Charmed fan. It is among the TV shows which runs for quite a number of years. And it is the only TV show which I’ve always watched and never missed any episode, not a single one. In the first few seasons, Shannon Doherty played …

My daughters and I love to watch Spongebob almost everyday. He is so cute and comical. I like to purchase the boxed sets on DVD versus watching him on television because then you can pick the episodes you want and do not have to worry about the …

I think that this, even more so than the two previous episodes, acts as a proto-typical X-Files episode. It has all the things that X-Files fans love. It’s far more atmospheric than the other two and has a stronger story to tell compared to the other two.
It …

At some point, I knew Willow’s relationship with Oz was going to go south. After all, he’s a werewolf and, three nights out of the month, he has no control over his actions.
Of course, up until the time I saw the episode “Wild at Heart” I figured their impending …

You know, I really don’t spend a great deal of time watching the Food Network on cable. But, after watching the show, Throw Down with Bobby Flay, I think I might find myself watching more often.
For those of you who haven’t seen the show, Flay is supposedly a famous …

I was never a big Wildcat fan. I don’t know why, he just never really appealed to me. He takes the main stage here as he, along with Batman do battle with a group of rebel teens who have dubbed themselves “the Outsiders”. Fans of Batman …

I have finished watching Desperate Housewives Season 5 Episode 2 yesterday on my local TV channel and it was another fun and dazzle episode once more with lots of colorful characters filling through. For a start, you get to see Gabrielle trying so hard to get back inside the …

The pilot for the new dramatic series, Chase, told me one huge thing. This is a show that wants to be a cross of In Plain Sight and Criminal Minds. Both of those are excellent series, but can a combination series be unique enough to draw an …

If you like westerns, then you will probably like this TV show starring Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris plays Walker, a Teas ranger. This is essentially a cop shop, except made country by the fact that the main character is a ranger in Texas rather than a policeman. The show …

One of the series that I’m watching right now is “How to Get Away with Murder”, which airs on the cable television channel ABC. The title actually got my attention a little before it began because of how unique it sounded, and after a while when it premiered, I was …

Harry Falk directed The Infiltrator episode of The Young Rebels, which was one of my favorite TV series from 1970. I’ve remembered this show my entire life. I can recall stories done on the news about it and even picture a local Sunday TV Guide cover that …

Ever since its arrival, NOVA has been home to some interesting shows. Their educational 1-hour documentaries often intrigue thousands and thousands of viewers. Recently, I watched “Becoming Human-A 3 part series” for my Biology class. As I sat at the computer for three whole hours I felt myself starting …

This episode of Hawthorne entitled A Mother Knows begins with Isabel insisting that her baby, Moses, who is in foster care, is sick. They say that Isabel caused a scene. Then the baby goes missing, and that’s where the center point of the drama occurs.
I really was …

She attempts to …

“Jedi Crash” stars Anakin Skywalker, Captain Rex, Aayla Secura, and Ahsoka along with a few clone troopers as they attempt to survive after brutal space battle in which Anakin is gravely injured. Their ship is accidentally put into hyperdrive and on course for a star, leading to a very …

I’m not really sure how to describe Have Gun - Will Travel: The Colonel and the Lady. It’s almost like a fairytale in a sense. It’s about secrets and double lives. I had it figured out about halfway through; others might get it from the beginning.
Robert …

This show is amazing! I continued to watch it even when Meredith took over the show from Regis. The way the lights are dim really low with each progression the player makes, plus it’s fun to live vicariously through the people who play on that show. I …

The new TV season if Desperate Housewives has finally arrived!
Bree is still wearing the fake pregnancy bump pretending she’s pregnant in order to hide her daughter’s pregnancy. Lynette has lost all her hair from cancer- and ends up on the first episode ripping off her wig to reveal her …

I don’t know D.C. comics all that well and as such I don’t know if Hawkman and Shayera really are connected or not, but this was an interesting episode either way. Shayera, or Hawkgirl, is approached by a man who claims to have found proof that the Thanagarians were …

I finally got a chance to see an episode of That 70s Show that I haven’t seen before; Babe I’m Going to Leave You.
This episode takes place shortly after Kitty’s father dies and after Jackie, seeing Kelso with his California girlfriend (Jessica Simpson), blurts out that he’s still her …

Synopsis: The GHI team investigates a house that is infamous for a reported 4 separate suicides in the attic and apparently causes bad luck for those who live there. They also investigate a former Nazi bunker turned into a museum.
What I liked about this episode: I wasn’t a huge …

As Due South: Call of the Wild: Part 1 opens, Constable Benton Fraser is ice fishing with his father. They talk about something being in the air, something that was going to change things. They’re right, especially since this was the first of a two-parter that ended …

Desperate Housewives is as crunchy as the popcorns I gorge on during the show! The first season was Fantabulous and the second is even more spicier. The foxy four leading ladies keep getting themslves into embarrasing-hilarious-steamy situations in every episode.
My personal favorite is the role of Eva Longoria as …

Burn Notice: Breaking and Entering is the first episode of the second season, and it’s the conclusion of a sort of cliffhanger, meaning there’s a lot of history that a new viewer such as myself needs to pick up on in terms of knowing the story.
One of the things …

M*A*S*H: Quo Vadis, Captain Chandler is a bit of an off-kilter episode for me. It’s never been one that I enjoyed all that much. Alan Fudge guest stars as Captain Chandler, an injured soldier who believes he’s Christ. Most of what happens stems from this plot …

Written by the minds behind Father Ted and the IT Crowd, this strange sketch show that first debuted in the late 90s might at first be a difficult one to get into.
Essentially, here we have a sketch show with a difference. The main difference being, the punch line …

The first thought which came to my mind when I watched this episode of “The X-Files” was “Weird “. I thought it was a lot stranger for some reason than many of the episodes of the popular 1990s American television series which I had watched as this episode involved …

I just do not like or enjoy Star Trek: Catspaw. I never have. It is one very weird show and it’s never ever drawn me in. I’ve still watched it many times (even the worst Star Trek beats out most of what was TV competition), but it’s …

Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn from the 16th of September, 2010 focused on Breakfast Favorites, using the perspective of how easy it can be to make homemade products. The thing is, it wasn’t easy for me and this was probably my least favorite episode of the opening …

John McGiver guest stars in this 1965 hour of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea called The X Factor. His character is Alexander Corby. I like McGiver, though oftentimes, his roles drive me nuts. He’s a solid actor, though, and makes just about anything worth …

Stargate SG-1: Crusade is definitely not a favorite show. The biggest problem with it is that Claudia Black is back as Vala, and that’s a sure sign of disaster. The horrid premise has her in the Ori galaxy using a device to contact the SGC, and in …

Dexter is a show in Showtime and is about a man who works as a forensics investigator for the Miami police department and who also murders murderers who come through the police department and are let go for some reason or another. There are two seasons of this show …
