Columbo: The Complete First Season DVD
Columbo: The Complete First Season on DVD is a really nice product for fans of this iconic detective series to own. It’s really well done. It begins with a nice box that the disk holder slides into. It keeps everything as pristine as possible.
The negative point …
Daily Show with John Stewart
Many years ago the Daily Show gained a cult following under the leadership of its original host, Craig Kilborn. With success came better offers for Mr. Kilborn, however, and he eventually made the switch to network television. John Stewart took his place.
Initially lacking, he soon came to …
Devices and Desires - Part 4
Devices and Desires - Part 4 belongs to a little girl named Theresa Blaney, played by Lisa Ellis, who confides a secret. The young Theresa has an odd father who seems to love her but acts in a suspicious manner. It’s really hard to tell what’s going …
Home Improvement: Mr. Wilson’s Opus
I ended up watching Home Improvement at lunch today because Hogan’s Heroes wasn’t on. It was a somewhat funny episode: “Mr. Wilson’s Opus.”
Basically, Randy convinces Wilson to direct Romeo & Juliet for their school play and Wilson agrees and Tim agrees to design the set. The only problem is, …
Private Eye: Nobody Dies in Chinatown
It seems every show has to do at least one story in their Mexican suburb and another in their Chinatown segment, and they are always about corruption and murder. Private Eye didn’t even bother to separate these shows. It’s last episode was done in the barrio of …
ASPCA (television commercial)
I am such a dog lover. So when I saw this ASPCA commercial, I was immediately struck in the heart. The music however, is what I think people will notice right away. The song comes on delicate piano and the sweetest female voice …
M*A*S*H: Goodbye, Cruel World
In M*A*S*H: Goodbye, Cruel World, one of Hawkeye Pierce’s (Alan Alda) patients named Sergeant Michael Yee, is headed for home. He’s a hero, but he’s a despairing hero who attempts to kill himself. Clyde Kusatsu does a great job in this complex role. The concept …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Three - Rock A Bye Bivalve
One day Patrick and Spongebob are outside playing, up to no good like usual, and they come across an abandoned baby scallop, which its parents are no where to be found. Well being the concerned people that they are, they decide to take the animal in and be its …
The Virginian: The Man Who Wouldn’t Die
The Virginian: “The Man Who Wouldn’t Die” is the 19th episode of the first season of this color western TV series. It features Lee J. Cobb as Judge Henry Garth who insists that he’s killed a man. He reports the incident to the authorities, but when they …
The Virginian: We’ve Lost a Train TV Show
The Virginian: We’ve Lost a Train has a powerful cast and serves double duty, as an outing for this 90-minute program as well as for introducing some new characters. Airing in April 1965, this The Virginian outing is actually the pilot episode for the comedic western series, …
Dexter
Dexter
Dexter is one of the best TV shows out there. Unfortunately some people have a problem with it. There is no doubt that the show’s topic is controversial, but some people miss the important point. This show is a typical hero story, just like Batman or Superman- the only …
America’s Toughest Jobs
A few weeks ago, in August of 2008, NBC started airing “America’s Toughest Jobs”. Essentially, they are taking jobs that have been done as reality shows on other channels, like the Discovery Channel and the History Channel, and putting them together with other ‘tough jobs’ to challenge the …
M*A*S*H: Say No More
M*A*S*H: Say No More focuses on a wounded soldier at the 4077th. This brings the soldier’s father to the camp. General Addison Collins, played John Anderson, is gung-ho military. He’s everything that Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) detests, and one thing Hawkeye can’t stand is watching General …
Celebrity Apprentice - UK - Week 7
The seventh week of Celebrity Apprentice - UK was fairly interesting. I think it was probably more fun for those who actually live in the UK, though. The reason for this is that the task for the week had the teams attempting to negotiate with various notable …
Star Trek: Tomorrow Is Yesterday TV Show
I’ve always liked Star Trek: Tomorrow Is Yesterday, an episode where future returns to the past. In this outing, the Enterprise goes back in time to the late 1960’s Earth. It’s a neat twist.
Roger Perry normally bores me in his roles, but I like this portrayal of …
Psych: Any Given Friday Night at 10 P.M.
While better than the Monk episode that preceded it, Friday night’s Psych episode “Any Given Friday Night at 10 PM” was another weak attempt to put together a good episode with a football theme in honor of this weekend’s Super Bowl.
I’m not sure which is more dumb; having players …
CSI AXN Channel
I was a fan of CSI since the beginning until my uncle, his wife said he was a fan of this program. In our conversations, she replied: “My husband never misses an episode of CSI and made a point of returning to work early or default, whether registered if …
The Simpsons: Midnight Towboy
I have to admit, I never saw last night’s Simpsons episode before, Midnight Towboy, but it was definitely one of the funnier episodes I’ve seen lately; especially when it comes to some of the newer episodes that have aired recently.
Homer has to go on a late-night run for milk …
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: The Shadow Women of Chung Tai
It’s yet another romance for Frank Buck in Bring ‘Em Back Alive: The Shadow Women of Chung Tai. I doubt the real Frank Buck had a girl popping out of the woodwork every other week. Bruce Boxleitner fans may like it, but I’ve never liked
the notion of …
The Amazing Race: S17, Ep 4 TV Show
What I loved about this fourth episode of The Amazing Race’s 17th season is that it showed the teams giving back a little by helping to renovate an elementary school. Survivor started giving back years ago, so why it’s taken The Amazing Race so long to realize that …
Worried About the Boy BBC Drama
I was looking forward to seeing the one-off drama ‘Worried About the Boy’ and I think it was one of the best things on television lately. It re-enacts the story of how Boy George, of Culture Club fame, rose to fame back in the early 1980s but I …
Birds of Prey TV show episode 1: Pilot
I had been aware of this attempt at a live action adaptation of the lesser known comic that centers around a team of all female superheroes. I finally decided that it was time to finally check it out. Considering that the show only lasted a season, my …
Psych: Who Ya Going to Call
I ended up watching a bunch of Psych episodes before bed last night (it was a late night for us because of the baby). One of them, “Who Ya Going to Call” was a bit on the predictable side.
Shawn and Gus are hired by a guy who thinks he …
Nip Tuck Tv Series
This has been and still is my favorite television series, it features Dylan Walsh as Sean McNamara and Julian McMahon as Christian Troy as partners in the McNamara/Troy business with is plastic surgeon center, they have been best buddies ever since although they have different views in life, …
Entourage season 1 episode 3 Talk Show
The guys are at a boxing match and after that they go on a party. Jimmy Kimmel shows up, he wants Vince to appear in his show. Ari is there too, he thinks that’s a good idea to promote Vince’s new movie —˜Heat on’ so Vince accepts the offer. …
Oprah Winfrey
I tried to watch recently on two different occasions. I had a hard time getting through each episode. The first time, I gave her the benefit of the doubt; I thought it was just the topic that I was not very interested in. She was really …
Ayashi No Ceres Anime
Ayashi No Ceres is one of those Japanese Anime/Manga stories that stuck with me whenever I think about Japanese cartoons or animes as they are called. Ayashi No Ceres started out as a manga and then began an anime. Which is what most animes evolve from. After reading the …
Law and Order: CI Season 1, Episode 5
During the first season the show struggled a little bit and that becomes clear in this episode. The episode itself features a storyline surrounding a con artist from France. We first see a rich woman heading off to meet up with her lover for the night. When she arrives …
Leave It to Beaver
“Leave It to Beaver” is a reminder of an era that will never exist again. This classic television show was made during a time when most kids worries were more about grades, homework, crushes on the opposite sex and trying to get along with parents. Parents, teachers …
Glee
Glee is a television series about a bunch of misfit kids who join the Glee club for various reasons including wanting to become a star and wanting to fit in. The show is based around a teacher who loved Glee Club when he was a student and his …
St. Bear’s Dolls Hospital
St. Bear’s Dolls Hospital is a kid’s show and I first saw it while baby sitting for a relative. It is basically what the name states. It is a hospital for broken toys to come to and get repaired. They seem to have some toys that are regulars on …
Street Hawk: Chinatown Memories
The Street Hawk crime fighting series continues with episode 7, Chinatown Memories. My problem is that I’ve never liked TV shows that center around the Chinese version of the mob. I don’t like shows about any mob, to be honest. They are cliche and boring to …
Bewitched The Complete First Season In Black and White (DVD Season Set)
Fans of the television classic, “Bewitched”, quite surprisingly, have a choice when it comes to picking up the complete first season of the television show, and that choice is either picking up the “In Black and White” edition or the “In Color” edition. The episodes are the same, except …
America’s Got Talent: Semi-Finals August 24, 2010 TV Show
Judge Piers Morgan stated that the America’s Got Talent: Semi-Finals was a lackluster semi-final for the most part, and I agree, but the judges did this. Their picks this year have been pretty bad. I don’t get why they put forward two thirds of the acts that …
Bones TV Episode: The Blonde in the Game
Our youngest daughter was actually napping for a change so I decided to watch a bit of TV while eating lunch today. I ended up watching an episode of the show Bones; The Blonde in the Game.
This episode had Booth and Brennan once again having to deal with serial …
Monk TV Episode: Mr. Monk and the Class Reunion
I was able to watch a bit of TV at lunch today and put on a re-run of the show Monk; Mr. Monk and the Class Reunion.
It had been a while since I saw this episode and I have to say it was definitely entertaining.
Basically, Monk returns to his …
Mine Your Own Business
I’m still watching Scooby Doo Where Are You episodes with my daughter and got to see one I honestly haven’t ever seen before “Mine Your Own Business.”
This one turned out to be halfway decent. The gang is driving someplace (I didn’t catch where when they said it) and, because …
Friends TV show - The one where Rachel quits
Rachel is very frustrated with her current job at the coffee house, because she just feels like she is never going to be able to do the job properly, and she is never going to be happy. Chandler was talking to her about her situation and he finally convinces …
Big Train - Series One
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 Virginian: The Awakening TV Show
As I understand it, Roberta Shore, who played Betsy Garth on The Virginian from the beginning, left the series to get married and retired from show business. In this fourth season, her character would be turning 20, so that’s definitely marrying age. I am very glad they …
The Tyra Banks Show
I watch the Tyra Banks show on a daily basis. I absolutely love watching talk shows and have been watching talk shows since I was little. I have always had interest in them because I was so intrigued by it and it has been always entertaining to me. I …
Out of This World: Evie’s Thirteenth Birthday TV Show
Evie’s Thirteenth Birthday is the very first episode of 1987’s Out of This World, a half-hour weekly show that I just loved. It’s science fiction mixed with comedy, and it has a super cast.
It’s Evie Garland’s 13th birthday, and she gets an unexpected surprise. As it turns …
The TV Show “Medium” on NBC
Although it’s not returning in the fall line up, and instead will be showing up again in the mid-season line up, the show “Medium” has fast become one of my favorites. “Medium” is based on the real life of one Allison Dubois, a research medium. It stars …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Comanche
Have Gun - Will Travel: Comanche is a very odd show in some ways. It’s a love story, an adventure tale, and a tribute, all in one half-hour episode. Yet, the connection is somewhat questionable. Actually, I’m not sure whether I like the story or not.
Comanche …
24: Season 8 Premiere
In this episode we see that Jack recovered fully from his previous exposure to lethal weapons. He’s a grand dad and is back with is daughter and her family. Then once again he’s dragged into the midst of a terror plot that needs to be stopped. Jack does not …
Baldwin Hills Season 2
I am a big fan of Baldwin Hills, I have watched all of season one and it was great, currently they are on season two.
I literally love the show, it’s too bad that they are on the last episode, the season finale is coming up and it should be …
CSI New York Season 4 Episode 21
The beginning of the episode immediately grabbed my attention. It was just so unusual, I have not seen a setting like this used before. There are many shows where a team needs to examine the evidence without access to the lab or in an enclosed environment. But to be …
DSTV
we in south africa have only only 2 satellite services.which really suck.cause the one,vivid,you only pay one amount,about $240,its once off and you get 8 tv channels and lots of radio channels.the other is dstv(digital satellite television) which is great but has only 100 channels.100 channels is fine but …
