Even though the new season doesn’t start until January, viewers were treated to a 2 hour 24 “movie” that sets up the plot for the next season.
My memory of the last season is rather fuzzy. I have a vague idea of what happened but when the …

“Scent of a Monster: Chanela Will Steal Your Love” is the fifth episode of the Sailor Moon series and part of the episode’s story focuses on Luna becoming an accepted member of the Tsukino family. Even though this is only the fifth episode of the series, it still feels …

OK, if you watch any of the Harry Potter movies or read the books, you’ll realize the Emperor’s New School episode “Prisoner of Kuzcoban” is based loosely on one of the series.
But, I think I liked this episode better than the Harry Potter movie.
This is a funny one because …

Memoir from Mr. Sulu from early 2004 was another update on one of the people who made Star Trek the legend that it is, George Takei. Takei played Sulu, the helmsman. He’s always been very pro-Sulu, advocating for his character and his advancement. I love that …

This was one of my favorite episodes of the popular nineteen nineties television series “The X-Files”. This was because this one explored the whole issue of gender bending which was still fairly new in terms of having operations to convert into either a male or female in nineteen ninety …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - “Genesis” is the closest this show ever got to telling a Halloween-like story. There are several scenes that are designed to “shock” the viewer or send waves of trepidation at the viewer. One such scene occurs after the crew begins to “de-evolve” after …

Sometimes being a skeptical person can ruin my TV watching experience. This is especially true whenever there is a good Ghost Hunters episode on TV, like last night’s episode “Civil War Spirits.”
In the show, they were actually chasing Revolutionary War ghosts at a farm house built on land during …

Leslie Nielsen guest stars in M*A*S*H: The Ringbanger as Colonel Buzz Brighton. He’s been wounded, though his injuries aren’t that severe. Hot Lips Houlihan (Loretta Swit) recognizes him immediately from an article in Stars and Stripes and is thoroughly impressed. As for Hawkeye (Alan Alda) and …

Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives has become a popular travel show on Food Network, which is hosted by Guy Fieri. Guy travels around state to state (on recommendation of food places) in his candy apple red, 1967 SS Camaro convertible. I hate to see it, but sometimes the car is …

OK, Law & Order SVU has been going downhill as a series for a long time now but I will give credit where credit is due and compliment last night’s episode of the show “Snatched.” But only because it was very creative.
You have yet another case of a child being …

I came home for lunch today and my youngest daughter was watching Dora the Explorer on TV. Since it had been a while since I watched this show (my oldest daughter used to watch it religiously until she outgrew it), I decided to take some time and watch it …

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 …

The Twilight Zone is a classic television series that has seen many incarnations, but the old ones are the best. The show featured a collection of tales that concerned the supernatural. Often there was a twist ending and a lesson to be learned from each of them. This …

I just love watching Nip/Tuck. I have been a loyal follower of Seasons 1 to 4 and I can just give a two thumbs up for each and every episode. From the lead actors and the supporting characters to the star-studded guests, I can truly say that the show …

Notorious is an hour long program that airs each and every week on The Biography Channel. I try to watch Notorious, although I can not say that I am able to catch this program every time it airs. I like Notorious because I learn about people that I had …

Man, what a contrast from the last episode. Where that one fell flat and didn’t really deliver any sort of tension or suspense, this one brings it in spades.
It manages to do this by upping the scale as Mulder races to uncover a crashed UFO. …

In Jeremiah: Tripwire, Thunder Mountain personnel head to Danbury to try and set up an alliance and check out a nuclear silo located there. This all relates back to Valhalla Sector and sudden activity in military facilities across the country, beginning in the Virginia area.
I wasn’t all that …

The Andy Griffith Show: Class Reunion, which aired in February 1963, was a rather nostalgic, almost melodramatic episode. It clearly set the end to any notion of Andy and Nurse Peggy, who is now a non-factor.
The show began with Barney Fife (Don Knotts) bringing some things over to …

Well, last night’s episode of Bones wasn’t the best episode I’ve seen, but it wasn’t the worst one either.

The fifth and final season of Stargate Atlantis begins with an episode called Search and Rescue. Now this concludes a story that was done as a cliffhanger in season 4, and I didn’t see that. Actually, the only reason I’m reviewing the fifth season is because an …

As in season four’s show, …

While you were out is a TV show on TLC where a design team comes to redesign someones home while they are out of town. Most of the episodes ive seen have been a wife who gets the show to come re-do a part of her house while her …

OK, wooden puppets are a bit creepy and after the movie Child’s Play, any doll that can talk makes me a bit nervous. So, I liked the concept behind the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “The Puppet Show.”
The school puts on a talent show and Buffy and her friends …

I think Dancing with the Stars with the stars is an OK show. I can watch it but not all the the time. As you can guess by the title of the show it’s about dancing. I think the dancing that goes on during Dancing with the Stars is very …

Channel V is a station shown on Pay Television. They play the latest music all day and all night. There are all sorts of different countdowns to the show. The only bad thing I would complain probably has to play the same songs over and over again during the …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Beau Geste, the fifth episode of the sixth and final season of this western series, is one I’ve seen a couple of times in recent history, but which I just can’t grab onto for some reason. Something about it doesn’t work in retaining …

This episode gives us our first briefing for our Adam-12 boys, Pete Malloy and Jim Reed. Oddly, they aren’t sitting together, but it’s not really important. After the briefing, we get the set up for the show, and it’s a funny one.
Rookie Reed is asked to fill …

Alan Hale guest stars in Edge of Evil, from season four of the outstanding western TV series, Laramie. The robust Hale’s character appears jovial, but his Roger Canby persona is far from the hearty soul of the Skipper on Gilligan’s Island. However, Hale is the powerhouse of …

Stargate SG-1: Tangent is a very nice entry in season four of SG-1. It again divides the team up, but they are all focused on the same goal, and it’s full of angst and drama.
Jack and Teal’c are testing the new X-301 interceptor, which combines both American and …

It had to happen sooner or later and as it turns out, it happened in the third season of this hit comedy series about the Korean War. In M*A*S*H: Iron Guts Kelly, a general arrives for a stopover at the 4077th. With General Kelly is his number …

CSI Miami is one of several series about crime scene investigators in different cities in the US. The one from Miami is maybe my least favourite, for a couple of reasons.
The chef of the CSI, Horatio Caine, seems a bit more theatrical than the other CSI members. The way …

In M*A*S*H: Pressure Points, Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) gets overly snappy and testy towards the personnel, especially Hawkey Pierce (Alan Alda) after returning from a brief trip away. It all stems because Hawkeye has to operate on one of Potter’s patients. The colonel becomes more intolerant …

Last night was the first time I actually took some time to watch the show Ghost Hunters International with my wife. Overall, it wasn’t a terrible program. But, I’m not sure if it was as good as I expected it to be.
I’ve watched the American version of the show …

Bring ‘Em Back Alive: To Kill a Princess is another standard fare for this show that really wanted to be Indiana Jones in Malaya. Instead, it’s zookeeper with an overzealous love life. In fact, what began as one of those nice, undercurrent love stories between stars Bruce …

I feel no sympathy for the devil and it seems Spike Spiegel does not either. Cowboy Bebop: episode 6 demands this and more as the title is “Sympathy for the devil”. This episode quickly jumps into the feel of the smooth rugged blues, dancing only half step as it …
