Family Guy TV Episode: Mr. Saturday Knight
I have seen bits and pieces of the Family Guy episode “Mr. Saturday Knight” before. But last night was the first time I actually had a chance to watch the entire thing. And, overall, I think it was a pretty good episode.
Basically, Peter is feeling depressed because he hates …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 10
It’s the morning after in Emerald Point N.A.S., the tenth episode. My hero of the show, Lt. Simon Adams, let me down, though I figured it would happen eventually. What I really don’t like are all the lies that these supposedly honest people tell. Simon is in …
Band of Brothers Episode 2 “Day of Days”
Band of Brothers Episode 2 Day of Days shows the actions of Easy Company on D-Day in Normandy. Easy company lands far away from the drop zone and there is no sign of 1st Lt. Meehan. 1st Lt. Winters takes command of Easy Company and they …
Fresh Prince TV Episode: Love Hurts
I tuned into channel 24 out of Milwaukee yesterday afternoon expecting to see a re-run of That 70s show. In fact, that’s what was showing on the guide part of the screen (and online). Instead, however, was a re-run of the show Fresh Prince.
I didn’t really mind this too …
Whoopi: Strange Bedfellows TV Show
From April 2004, Scott Bryce returns as Stan the Republican in Whoopi: Strange Bedfellows. This is Bryce’s second appearance on the half hour, NBC comedy that stars Whoopi Goldberg as Mavis Rae, the owner of Hotel Lamont. The half-hour show centers around two different plots.
First, there is …
The Twilight Zone: The Obsolete Man TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Obsolete Man is a powerful episode of this series. It’s a strong show take takes place in a futuristic society where there is no deity and the definition of being useful is totally up to the totalitarian society. The use of this kind …
Star Wars The Clone Wars: Rising Malevolence (episode 2)
Anakin Skywalker stars in this episode that’s mainly about a secret Separatists weapon that is destroying the Jedi forces. No one knows what it is as there are never any survivors to tell what he or she saw. Of course, we find out very soon exactly what it is. …
Star Trek: Once Upon a Planet TV Show
One of the classic Star Treks was called Shore Leave and had Doctor McCoy having a run in with Alice in Wonderland and the very late white rabbit. This animated 1973 outing, Star Trek: Once Upon a Planet, has the Enterprise returning to the planet for another period …
Wagon Train: The Duncan McIvor Story
Wagon Train: The Duncan McIvor Story isn’t a favorite of mine. In fact, it’s not one that I particularly enjoy watching. To be truthful, though I’ve seen it before, when watching the DVD again, it took me a few times to get through it. I just …
Crossing Jordan Season 1 Episode 6 - Believers
Crossing Jordan Season 1 Episode 6 - Believers
I really love this show. I watch it every day. The characters are very unique and attractive ( as in interesting, that is) and there is this element of solving the mystery that keeps me watching. But I did not like this …
Spongebob Squarepants TV Episode: Krusty Krab Training Video
Synopsis: This Spongebob episode takes you behind the scenes at the Krusty Krab by showing you the training video that shows you what it takes to be a Krusty Krab employee.
What I liked about this episode: The video itself was somewhat funny because it did remind me quite a …
Futurama TV Episode: Fry and the Slurm Factory
My daughter and I took the time to watch a Futurama episode Tuesday night and ended up watching the Season 1 episode Fry and the Slurm Factory.
I had seen this one before (a long time ago) and this was the first time my daughter had watched it. Both of …
I Love New York
How many of us out there have grown to love New York? I know I for one have. When New York appeared on The Flavor of Love, I could not stand to watch it because of her. But now that she had her own show and was not competeing …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Prophecy Girl
I finally got to see the season 1 finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer “Prophecy Girl” and have to admit it made up for the numerous crappy episodes of the series in that first season.
The episode has Buffy finally facing the Master; more importantly it has her doing so …
The Simpsons
The Simpsons has been around forever and it’s the kind of show everybody knows about.
Those of you that haven’t seen it are missing out. Why? Because it’s funny and it’s current. By current I mean that the writers keep the material fresh and relevant to what …
That Girl: That Girl’s Daddy
That Girl: That Girl’s Daddy from season 5 is an interesting story in a way. It’s one that also has a continuity error. At the beginning of the show, Lou Marie (Lew Parker) is trying to get inside Ann Marie’s (Marlo Thomas) apartment when a policeman stops …
Gilligan’s Island TV Episode: Forward March
As I have mentioned before, I’m a big fan of watching Gilligan’s Island re-runs on weekends. But, even though I do enjoy most of the episodes (I’ve seen every one several times), there are some that just aren’t as good as others. One of these is the episode “Forward …
Chasing Mummies: Bats TV Show
There was something amazing about watching Chasing Mummies in this latest Bats episode. It was relatively calm and peaceful. With two archaeological fellows, Lindsay and Zoe, now out of the picture, what viewers were treated to was a really intriguing look at Egypt and the pyramids.
Early on, …
Project Runway Season 4 Finale
If you ever wonder what exactly is wrong with the fashion industry, you should take a look at Project Runway’s Season 4 finale.
All I can say is “How in the heck did Christian win?” Granted, he had decent outfits throughout the series. But, the final winner was supposed to …
Doctor Who: Season 2, Episode 4: School Reunion
As the episode opens, we see that the Doctor is posing as a physics teacher. The role seems to suit him well, though it’s clear that something’s amiss as there are children who know far more than any child, or human for that matter, should.
It turns …
Law and Order: CI Season 1, Episode 16
If you watch this episode now, it’s hard to miss the guest star as he later turned up as one of the main characters on “Lost”, the television show. The episode picks up with a man asking about his ex-girlfriend, a woman that he seems to be infatuated with, …
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 …
Psych: Shawn takes a shot in the dark
Well, I guess the character of Shawn Spencer can’t criticize all the survival training his dad gave him as a kid any more. After all, he had to use all of it to survive last night’s episode of Psych; Shawn takes a shot in the dark.
Shawn gets shot and …
Biography: Nancy McKeon TV Show
The Biography series, often presented on A&E but now more often and regularly shown on The Biography Channel, has produced some outstanding and informative hours of programming. Sometimes I learn a lot and at other times, it’s just entertaining. In the case of the biography on actress …
Wagon Train: The Last Circle Up
This episode of Wagon Train, The Last Circle Up, which is the final episode of the seventh season, is actually a bit ironic, considering what happens for the eighth and concluding season for this western series. The story is all about whether or not Chris Hale’s crew would …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: A Miracle of Rare Device TV Show
From July 1989, The Ray Bradbury Theater: A Miracle of Rare Device is actually a pretty interesting story, though there are elements that I’m not as fond of. What happens is that two men, disheveled and obviously down on their luck, are traveling along a desert highway …
TV Show: Glee
So tonight was the first episode of the new Fox series, Glee. The show is okay. It is shot in a reality type mode, like most shows these days. It’s about a guy who returns to his high school and takes up a director spot in the school’s failing …
That Girl: A Friend in Need
When Ann Marie sprains her ankle while filming a scene, boyfriend Don Hollinger comes to rescue, and it’s pretty funny, even if there are more continuity issues between this episode and prior ones. That Girl: A Friend in Need has Don tending to his girlfriend’s every need, even …
Fireball XL5: 1875
I love this edition of Fireball XL5: 1875. Gerry Anderson, the creator of the series, just really amazes me at how he utilizes the puppets and builds stories around them like we’d find in any science fiction TV series. In this one, that genius Professor Matt Matic …
Curb Your Enthusiasm: 7.09
Curb hits a high note with this episode, reminiscent of some truly awful misunderstandings like “The Doll” amongst others. When Larry is bothered by the nine year old daughter of a crew person, he finds himself in a text friendship with her, which at first bothers him, but later …
Fireball XL5: Space Pen
One of the things I’ve longed realized about Fireball XL5 is that the lovely blonde Venus gets more change of clothing than any of the other characters. I suppose that’s how it really is in life anyway, but it’s amused me quite a bit. In this show …
Laramie: Company Man
The Company Man episode of Laramie is one of my very favorites of this western series. It is full of angst and drama.
The Sherman Ranch is also a relay station for the stagecoach company. The stages stop at the ranch before arriving in Laramie (or on the …
Undercover Boss - Waste Management
Undercover Boss is an intriguing idea for a TV series. I don’t imagine it’ll be on for long, though. There aren’t enough big name companies who are willing to do what is required here. What happens is that a CEO goes undercover for a week. …
Project Runway Season 5 Premiere
Eventually, even the most popular shows end up coming full circle and, either because they try too hard to re-invent themselves or because they run out of legitimate talent, they start showing some decline. This is especially true when it comes to reality television because you are always trying …
The Simpsons Season 8 Episode 11
The episode begins showing a ladies group discussing their recent success in the share markets. So they earn a lot of money, and decide to invest in some new ventures. However Marge decides not to invest since it is too risky according to her. They kick her out …
Dancing with the Stars - Results 5/5/09
The results shows for Dancing with the Stars always have a lot of stuff in it that is unrelated to the actual competition itself. This show had a performance by Jamie Collum that was somewhat entertaining. There was also a really neat dance routine, but I didn’t …
Life Beyond Trek: William Shatner featurette
Life Beyond Trek: William Shatner began with Shatner’s love of horses. I’ve known for years and years that he loved the equestrian way of life. I’ve seen him on talk shows and such discussing it and on other shows where he did some of what we saw …
Rebecca Romijn on Ellen
Rebecca Romijn on Ellen was a real fun watch. Here is a beautiful and very talented actress and she is super down to earth. And I have seen some celebrities on any given show at all like example talk-shows and they will have this kind of air or …
Green Acres - The Ex-Secretary
“The Ex-Secretary” is the final episode of “Green Acres”. At the time, the writers were not aware that the network had plans to cancel not only this show, but several other popular shows to make way for television shows that were more
attractive to advertisers and a younger demographic. Had …
Grey’s Anatomy TV Show
I can tell that this is going to become one of my favourite TV shows. I was doubtful at first, wondering just what was the point of another hospital drama (and to tell you the truth, I’m not a big fan of hospital drama), but this one is different. …
Whoopi: Identity Crisis TV Show
Whoopi: Identity Crisis is pretty much about what the title says, an identity crisis, but not of the emotional kind. It’s the identity theft type of crisis that Mavis Rae (Whoopi Goldberg) has to deal with. When she goes to pay for lunch for her family and …
The Simpsons
The Simpsons is an animated comedy about the life of a family. I find the show to be funny, witty and hugely entertaining.
The main characters on The Simpsons are Marge, Homer, Bart and Lisa and every half hour episode focuses on something happening in their lives which often …
CSI Las Vegas Episode 8, Season 10
I just watched the latest episode of CSI, short for Crime Scene Investigation, which in 2007 was the most watched show in the whole world with 84 million viewers. And after chief honcho Grissom had left the scene, it’s still going strong.
At first, I didn’t think that Laurence …
Stargate: Infinity: Big Mistake TV Show
The drama of this thirty minute animated show, Stargate: Infinity: Big Mistake, revolves around a desert world where it rarely rains. Seattle leads Major Gus Bonner’s team in trying to help the people by finding water underground. Then they discover there is also a power source somewhere …
The Twilight Zone: Queen of the Nile TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Queen of the Nile is one of the few shows from season five that I enjoy. The main reason for that is the incredible Ann Blyth, who I’ve admired since my childhood. She’s a classic beauty and a talented actress whose career began when …
