Who Are You Wearing (TLC program)
I was rather surprised when I realized that TLC was releasing a show called “Who Are You Wearing.” I was even more surprised to see an old school mate hosting the show. Keisha Nash-Whitaker (wife of Oscar Award winner, Forest Whitaker) hosts a show in which …
Hawthorne: Hidden Truths TV Show
Hawthorne: Hidden Truths had quite a bit of drama and intensity to it. It picks up a couple of days after the conclusion of the prior week’s shows, which ended with Nurse Christina Hawthorne (Jada Pinkett Smith) coming home to find her daughter with a man in a …
Sea Hunt: The Big Dive TV Show
Lloyd Bridges is the star of Sea Hunt: The Big Dive, an episode that focuses on a man trained by Bridges’ deep sea diver character of Mike Nelson. Don Either guest stars as Tom Gale, who surprises and angers Nelson when he decides he’s going to attempt to …
Ghost Hunters: Hindenburg Crash Site
I wasn’t really excited about last night’s episode of Ghost Hunters; well, at least not from the paranormal end of things.
I liked the fact they were investigating the famous site of the Hindenburg explosion and there was quite a bit of history about the wreck explained that I didn’t …
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: A House Divided TV show
I just adore Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: A House Divided for several reasons. The first is that this is one of those shows where just about every regular has their moment. It’s not easy to do that in an ensemble show like this one, but it’s …
The Incredible Mr. Limpet Introduction by Don Knotts
The Incredible Mr. Limpet is a wonderful film from Warner Brothers that combined live action with animation. It’s a terrific tale of Henry Limpet, played by Don Knotts, who is a man who loves fish and then finds one day that his wish comes true. He falls …
Columbo: The Complete Fifth Season DVD set
Columbo: The Complete Fifth Season DVD set basically follows the same suit as the fourth season set. That equals an adequate presentation by Universal, one that is better than what they did with the season 3 set, but not as wonderful as the first season set.
The fifth season …
Family Guy:PTV
I hadn’t seen the Family Guy episode PTV in a while so I was thrilled to come across it on television today.
This is a fantastic episode because it makes a mockery on how the FCC will sometimes overreact to people overreacting to something they might be offended to, rather …
Maalaala Mo Kaya Drama
Abs-Cbn Channel is much known for providing good drama series over the years. Though its rival network has produced drama series, many people are still convinced they are not as good as the Channel 2’s. I am here to talk about the “Maalaala Mo Kaya” drama anthology. This is …
The Oscar’s Awards Show - March 7, 2010
I watched the Oscar’s on Sunday night, and I was kind of disappointed. For one thing, I didn’t really like lining up all the contenders like it was an episode of American Idol or something.
The fashion was kind of lacking in some areas, as well. The men looked …
Christmas Night (The Little King) cartoon
The Little King - Christmas Night is a vintage cartoon presented by SoGlow. I actually watched several holiday comics from the golden age today, and this was probably not only the most simplistic of the bunch but my least favorite.
The story revolves around a king who seems a …
The Winds of War: Making The Winds of War featurette
Dan Curtis is center stage for The Winds of War: Making The Winds of War featurette which takes interested viewers through the process of what it was like to make the outstanding television mini-series, The Winds of War and its follow up, War and Remembrance.
One of the intriguing things …
That Girl: Chef’s Night Out
That Girl: Chef’s Night Out has some very nice comedic moments to it, and it’s a story that they hadn’t done before. After her parents leave on a trip, Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) and Don Hollinger (Ted Bessell) drop by the family restaurant to make sure everything is …
The Flintstones: The Flintstone Flyer
My daughter has never seen the Flintstones before so I recently rented the first season of the show on DVD. We watched the first episode last night, the Flintstone Flyer and it was somewhat interesting.
This is before the characters were fully established but it managed to be entertaining. Barney …
M*A*S*H: Bless You Hawkeye
Outside of the upcoming Blood Brothers episode which I consider to be tops all the way around, M*A*S*H: Bless You Hawkeye is the best of the ninth season. It’s a show that starts out in an unsuspecting style with Hawkeye Pierce waking up in the middle of the …
American Gladiators (Jan. 7 episode)
While I have written how much I love the idea of American Gladiators returning to television, after watching the Jan. 7 episode of the show (the third overall), I’m finding myself questioning whether the contestants are winning fair and square.
First of all, the winners are a little too likeable. …
Dead at Seventeen
“Dead At Seventeen” is a made for tv movie I watched this evening.
Barbara Niven gives a dramatic portrayal as Alyssa, a mother who is investigating the reason her teenage son commited suicide.
Jason had been acting strangely the previous two days. Alyssa feels guilty for not listening to …
Allo Allo TV series
Allo Allo is an old Comedy series that started in the early 80?s and lasted till in the 90?s per season you had 6 or sometimes 7 episodes, like all good BBC series.
The show is situated in the 2nd world war in a French town and you follow …
Justice League Unlimited: Ultimatum
I’m not certain that punching a lava man is a good idea. First, what’s to say it would be effective? Does anyone know what a lava man is made of? Secondly, it seems that since they are glowing red and spit lava on people that it could be dangerous, …
Criminal Minds TV series
The Criminal Minds TV series fits well with all of the other crime investigation drama out there because it is different but still comfortable. The crimes are more graphic - if I wasn’t already desensitized by other shows I would say too graphic, and they probably are too graphic. …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Black Handkerchief TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Black Handkerchief from season 3 was a somewhat entertaining show with definite problems and conflicts. The biggest one for me was actor Ed Nelson. Nelson was definitely a working actor. He did a ton of TV, but the problem here …
Highway Patrol: Fisherman’s Luck TV Show
Highway Patrol: Fisherman’s Luck didn’t feel very lucky to me. It was just one of those half hour offerings when I wasn’t lured into the story or captivated by what was happening within the ranks of this fictionalized California Highway Patrol department.
Perhaps the reason for my lack of …
Highway Patrol: Slain Cabby TV Show
The 16th episode from January 1958 of Highway Patrol was called Slain Cabby and was pretty good overall.
In this third season outing, I think this was the first time I really saw a CHP meeting, a prolonged scene where they discuss their plans for capturing the robbers. It …
True Blood: Season One tv show
While only one season of the hit television show True Blood has been broadcast on the cable movie channel HBO, I still felt compelled to review it. In fact, like all the other viewers, I was hooked to the show, but for completely different reasons. While everyone else seemed …
Ghost Hunters: The Red Room
OK, the Ghost Hunters episode “The Red Room” turned out to be a big disappointment. I don’t mind watching the show and seeing them debunk various ghosts but it is pretty sad when they don’t even have anything they can debunk.
This one involved them making a trip to Louisiana …
Beast Wars - Victory
Beast Wars - Victory is an episode that offers the Maximals a second chance to return to Cybertron, which was a little surprising to me since the previous episode also presented them with an opportunity to return, and now all of a sudden we have another, back to back. …
Friends Season One - The one with the birth
It is time for Carol to give birth to Ross’s baby, but all Ross and Susan can seem to do is argue about who is going to help Carol with the birth more. Ross feels like he should be in a big part of it because after all it …
New Girl ,’A Chill Day in’, TV show
As I wrote my review of the episode Road Trip I really feel the need to write my review of episode ‘A chill day in’. These two episodes are a long way from the episodes we got used to watching in these last two seasons which are sometimes good but …
Hawthorne: A Mother Knows TV Show
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 …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Odds for Big Red TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Odds for Big Red, the fourth show of season five, gets right to the action, and I question it. It is funny to me that Paladin has a lot of imperfections. Maybe that’s why the show worked. He’s almost an anti-hero, …
NCIS: The Good Wives Club
While digging to build a new house in the neighborhood, a construction crew uncovers a hole. Down in the hole is a dead body chained to a wall. When NCIS gets there, they realize that there is a tunnel leading to one of the houses. They …
Spongebob Squarepants Episode 2
The second episode is another example of why this show is so funny. Consisting of two skits, Bubblestand and Ripped Pants, viewers are treated to both laughs and great music.
The most memorable of the two skits was the Ripped Pants skit, where Spongebob entertains the beach crowd by ripping …
Monster Quest
I usually enjoy shows about mythical creatures. But, History Channel’s show, Monster Quest is one I can’t even sit through ten minutes of.
Overall, the show does a good job describing creatures like Big Foot and the Loc Ness Monster. However, rather than focus on the historical stories and leave …
That 70s Show: Celebration Day
Hey, another episode of That 70s Show that I haven’t seen before; Celebration Day.
I have seen plenty of episodes that took place after this one, but it is the first time I got to see the episode that pretty much changed the entire plot of the series.
Basically, you have …
The Waltons TV Show
My favorite TV show ever is The Waltons.
I just love the serenity of the setting, the lifestyle. Although they were not wealthy they were the richest family to me. I still love to watch it, and it is on for 2 hours every morning. Luckily I am an early riser …
The Candlemaker cartoon
The Candlemaker, a cartoon from the golden era from Halas and Batchelor, actually began in a way that really drew my attention. It talked about how things used to be before modern inventions and such. I loved that opening quite a bit. I suppose it seems …
Snoops: Twice Dead TV Show
Margaret Avery and Stephen Elliott guest starred in the Twice Dead episode of the short-lived TV series called Snoops. In fact, it didn’t even last an entire season. I’m not surprised because I was pretty bored by the whole thing. The only unique thing about this …
Forensic Files
Forensic science is not that new, at least to Sherlock Holmes fans, but it is is real life. Forensic Files is seen on Court TV, which is going to be known as Tru TV starting in January 2008. They set out to solve murders that seem to be unsolvable …
Heroes TV Series
Directed by the famous directors, Tim Kring. Heroes is another science fiction - action - drama which always makes me filled with questions and wondering what will happen in the next episode.
The story tells about some people with an extraordinary ability. but at first they even don’t realise that …
Bam’s Unholy Union
Last night I watched Bam’s Unholy Union on MTV, they were running a marathon of this show starring Bam Margera and his fiance( then) now Wife Melissa Rothchild, I think thats her name anyhow.
I have been a fan of Bam for quite sometime now. I have every season of …
Alfred Hitchcock Presents TV Episode: Don’t Come Back Alive
I’ve had the Alfred Hitchcock song stuck in my head for the past couple of days for no apparent reason. So, I decided it must be a sign that I should start watching Alfred Hitchcock presents again and loaded it back into my Netflix Instant Watch Queue.
The baby had …
The Fugitive: Nemesis
The Nemesis episode of The Fugitive is one of those I really like a lot. We meet Lt. Gerard’s son, Phil, Jr. The two have been driving back home from taking Gerard’s mother home when the police detective gets word that Richard Kimball has been spotted …
The Young Rebels: The Ring of Freedom TV Show
The Young Rebels: The Ring of Freedom, the second outing for this show about the Revolutionary War, tells a tale that is often discussed or portrayed in TV shows, and that is the happenings that surround the Liberty Bell. As most know, this symbol of American independence rang …
Mork & Mindy: Mork’s First Christmas
I’ve seen about a dozen Christmas related shows in the past week or so but I have to admit the classic Mork & Mindy episode “Mork’s First Christmas” was probably one of the better ones I’ve watched.
I’m not sure I like the whole Eugene kid that shows up early …
Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Car Pool Lane
In one of his most eventful adventures; Larry fakes being racist to avoid jury duty, buys marijuana for his glaucoma suffering father, gets Marty Funkhauser arrested by airport police, picks up an outspoken prostitute so he can ride the car pool lane and ruins his chances of gaining membership …
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 …
Stargate SG-1: Prophecy
This sixth season episode of Stargate SG-1 does nothing for me at all. It’s one of the reasons I just groan through most of the shows. This one is called Prophecy, and it focuses on Jonas Quinn, which may be why I just don’t like it.
The show ties …
Highway Patrol: Hostage Family Copter TV Show
The sixth entry for the third season of Highway Patrol, which stars Broderick Crawford as Chief Dan Mathews, was called Hostage Family Copter. Yes, it’s another show that features the helicopter. This crime drama loved showcasing this mode of transportation, which as we all know today can …
