MacGyver: Trumbo’s World
This episode opens up with a shirtless Richard Dean Anderson. Woman everywhere swooned. He immediately gets a hug from the woman he’s rescuing. That’s standard fare for this TV series.
The opening gambit was fun, with MacGyver and the woman geologist shooting the rapids, but it was …
TV Series Modern Family “Caught in the Act”
You have to love a show that has kids walking in on their parents having sex in the morning in their first scene. I hadn’t seen a kids walking in episode on tv in awhile, it is not the first show to have done it but the material …
Third Watch series
I thoroughly enjoy this series as it remind of such winners as ER and Hill Street Blues. The cast of unknowns and minor experienced actors is just perfect. I enjoy these characters and weekly root for such friends as Sully, Faith, Carlos, Kim, Boscorelli, …
That 70s Show: It’s a Wonderful Life
You know, it’s been years since I’ve seen the actual movie It’s a Wonderful Life. But, I haven’t had any desire to watch it again because of all the shows that feel the need to do their own take on that film.
I ended up watching another one yesterday afternoon …
American Idol
Although I do watch the show from time to time, I do not necessarily like it. The idea of the show is nice:finding this special one American singer-idol- But the question is: Is it really fair to let people decide and judge. Is it logical to let somebody who …
Cowboy Bebop episode 13
As the dark yet mellow tunes of an sax playing its cold yet truthful notes to an cursed city covered in the eternal darkness of an bitter cruel winter that devourers at the minds of those who survived battles of the past and present. On Cowboy Bebop, even the …
Family Guy: The Courtship of Stewie’s Father
Well, I got a chance to watch the Family Guy episode “The Courtship of Stewie’s Father” again last night and have to say it is one of the funnier episodes I have seen from this series.
Basically, Peter is trying to spend more time with Stewie. Of course, the only …
The Simpsons TV Episode: Little Girl in the Big Ten
I finally got a chance to watch the entire episode of The Simpsons called “Little Girl in the Big Ten.” This one proved to be pretty darn funny.
Lisa is enrolled in gymnastics and, because she is the same size as the college girls enrolled in class, they naturally assume …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Colonel and the Lady
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 …
Monica: The Single (Peachtree TV network show)
This show apparently follows singer Monica in her quest for completing a new single. I heard this was going to be a reality show series about Monica. But in fact, this is really a show Bryan Michael Cox put together to emphasize the necessities of putting together …

The three-part BBC series “Tipping the Velvet” is based on Sarah Waters’s eponymous debut novel.

American Idol Season 7: Dallas
American Idol is staring a brand new season and this season is starting out with a splash. The Dallas audition had some great talents and some that are just plain weird. My favorite out of the two hour show is the guy that auditioned last. He wore a white …

Highway Patrol: Insulin TV Show
Sometimes Highway Patrol episodes really entertain, and sometimes they bore. In the case of Season 3’s Insulin, which was the 17th episode to air that year, I was entertained; for the most part, anyway.
The police drama revolves around two men who show up at another man’s home. …

Stargate SG1: The Other Side
“The Other Side” is definitely one of the Stargate SG1 episodes that really makes you think. It is also one that shows the big difference between Daniel’s priorities and those of the rest of the team.
When Alar, the leader of Uronda, gets in touch with the SGC and …
Stargate SG1: Origin
This episode starts off where Avalon left off. Daniel and Vala follow the Ori prior to Selestis and the City of the Gods. When Daniel questions the Prior he merely says, “In due time. All in good time.” As they enter a room in the …
E! True Hollywood Story TV show
The show E! True Hollywood story is a great series for a great many reasons. One of those reasons for me is that they show a side of a person’s life that we as an audience never really get to see up close.
The show chooses a celebrity that …

Hogan’s Hero TV Episode: Will the Real Adolf Please Stand Up
I had a chance to catch a re-run of Hogan’s Heroes while at home for lunch today; “Will the Real Adolf Please Stand Up.”

Project Runway: A Rough Day on the Runway TV Show

King of the Hill
I love King of the Hill. It’s not as funny as say, Family Guy, but it is worth watching and I find it addictive. The characters are round enough that you get to know them and are interested in their stories, even though it is just animation. I love …
Sonic the Hedgehog
Is it any wonder why this show has lasted so long? During the early and mid nineties, there were actually two cartoon shows based off of Sonic the Hedgehog, who, around that time, had just had his second hit game on the SEGA genesis system. One was okay, but …
Cowboy Bebop Episode 17 (Anime)
Cowboy Bebop Episode 17 involves the crew of the Bebop looking for food, and unfortunately Ed finds bad mushrooms for them to eat.

A Capitol Fourth TV Show

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Man-Beast TV Show
From February 1968, the 20th show of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea’s last season (it’s fourth) on television, Man-Beast, aired. It’s a show I have mixed feelings about because of the story’s plot. The primary guest star was Lawrence Montaigne, who played a scientist named …

QVC (television)
Few television shows piss me off as much as QVC. I find it to be a completely idiotic way of marketing a product and more likely than not, I would go out of my way not to purchase a product advertised on their broadcasts. First of all, …
MacGyver: Cleo Rocks
From a Jack Dalton episode to another Penny Parker episode. I miss the days when MacGyver was doing exotic assignments overseas. In this fourth season episode, Cleo Rocks, MacGyver has been invited to the premier of Penny’s new play. It’s her first real job as an …
Simpsons - That Birdie In the Window
This was one of those Simpsons episodes that I just say, were they really so out of ideas that they must have just looked out a window and saw a bird and that’s where the idea of the episode came from. Even if the whole idea of using a …

My Name is Earl
You know, I really didn’t think I was going to like this show when it first came out. Frankly, the previews of the first season looked a little corny. I actually only started watching it because it was in a convenient time frame (just before something else I wanted …

“KBC” now come back with a new name “KBC 2″, as it is the second part in “Star Plus” channel of Indian television. The best part of this game show is its host -the unpredictable Mr. Amitabh bacchan. His performance as a host is mind-blowing. His humor and the …
Highway Patrol: Frightened Witness TV Show
From 1958, the opening episode of Highway Patrol’s final season on the air, its fourth, was called Frightened Witness. The title is a little off as it should have been Frightened Witnesses. That is because there were two scared folks, a couple named Carl and Jennifer Stone. …
Have Gun - Will Travel: In an Evil Time
Hank Patterson was the main guest star in Have Gun - Will Travel: In an Evil Time from season two of this Richard Boone western. Oddly, I don’t really have a lot to say about it. Patterson did an excellent job as an old man Paladin comes …
Hair Battle Spectacular: Episode 1 TV Show
Oh my gosh, we’ve gone over the top. I’d say we’d reached a new low, but the topic of Hair Battle Spectacular is the top of the head, as in hair. To be specific, fantasy hair. I hadn’t imagined that. This show rips off all …
Bones: The Finger in the Nest
It isn’t often that a fictional television show actually moves me to the point I’m almost in tears. But, last night’s episode of Bones, “The Finger in the Nest,” was one that made me feel like I had a knife stabbed into my heart.
I’m not even sure where to …
The Andy Griffith Show: Andy and the New Mayor TV Show
