Ghost Hunters: Ghostly Conversation
I was watching Ghost Hunters last night and got to see a more recent episode I haven’t seen before; Ghostly Conversation.
This one was somewhat interesting because they got to visit a really fancy hotel that was supposedly haunted by the princess that once owned it and frequented it; likely …
MacGyver: Dalton, Jack of Spies
Oh how I wish MacGyver: Dalton, Jack of Spies had just never been done. When we last saw Jack Dalton, he was flying away to his heroic death. Mac had that warm look of friendship on his face as he watched. Now, though, Jack is back, …
Family Guy: I dream of Jesus
Well now, I have to admit, there are very few shows that are as brave as the show Family Guy. The episode I watched tonight “I dream of Jesus” proves just how far this show will go to get a laugh.
OK, they’ve had other episodes that have shown Jesus …

The Secret Life of… TV show

Biggest Loser - December 9th 2008
I watched this episode less than 24 hours ago (I taped it) and it’s like a big blur thinking back on it. Nothing really stood out to me. It was the typical last show before the finale. The winner of the week’s competition received catered food, …

True Blood 3.01 “Bad Blood”
I have to admit to having quite mixed feelings about this particular TV series - although the show can be quite riveting at times, some of its subplots in the past have proven to lack satisfying resolution, the gore and sexuality can be excessive to the point of inducing …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Hail and Farewell TV Show
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Hail and Farewell is an interesting story that puts a new twist on living forever. We’ve seen it done many times. The Twilight Zone and the original Star Trek are two examples of shows that have dealt with this. However, this episode …
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation - Family Affair
I’ve watched CSI: Crime Scene Investigation from the beginning. The show tends to have a decent amount of turnover, but their most difficult loss was that of William Petersen as Grissom, who departed midway through last season. I loved the way his exit was done, though, with …
Top Chef: Covert Cuisine TV Show
Top Chef: Covert Cuisine was unique in that for the elimination challenge, the dinner was actually held at the Central Intelligence Agency headquarters in Langley, Virginia. It’s not often a TV show is going to get inside the C.I.A. for something like this, so that was pretty intriguing.
The …
Prison Break Season 4 Episode 7 Mister T

Tales of the Gold Monkey: Legends Are Forever
It would be nice if Tales of the Gold Monkey: Legends Are Forever had begun with a bit more clarity. What was a flashback or dream wasn’t made clear. We have this great adventure scene with Jake Cutter (Stephen Collins) and a colorful character, Gandy Dancer (William …
That 70s Show: Parents Find Out
Sometimes the best episodes on a comedy show are those about a subject that really isn’t wrong but has embarassing implications. The That 70s Show episode “Parents Find Out” is one of those episodes.
This episode happens a short time after Eric and Donna start having sex and, while in …

In this episode Jim is doing something new at work, trying. He goes golfing with a client while Michal, Pam, Oscar and Darryl are at a job fair. Before he would have spoken to the person then given up, but since Ryan has given him an official warning and …
Scrubs: Our Couples
2 funny episodes in a row. I’m going to go ahead and take that as a good sign. It took a while, but these characters are starting to step up. Oh, I doubt they’ll ever be as great as the original crew, but no show has …
Sea Hunt: The Poacher TV Show

Highway Patrol: Safecracker TV Show
From November 1957, Highway Patrol: Safecracker was the fourth outing of this police drama’s third season. It was actually a very calm show, I thought. It was easy to watch with nothing that really screamed ‘I’m great’ and nothing that moaned of it being horrible. It …
M*A*S*H: None Like It Hot
M*A*S*H: None Like It Hot deals with the latest heat wave to hit the 4077th as the Korean War rages on. It seems odd that this show precedes one that talks about a wind storm. Korea must have a lot of quick changing weather.
The thrust of None …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Ethics
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Ethics is really a very enjoyable and thoughtful episode that effectively explores two sensitive topics and presents both sides of each topic equally: assisted suicide and testing experimental procedures on patients that, in one case, is willing, and the other case, too injured …
Gilligan’s Island - The Second Ginger Grant TV Show
I have to admit this episode gets me confused every time I watch it. My head spins when Maryann becomes Ginger and Gilligan takes on Maryann’s personality. Mind things like this are difficult for me to swallow. I did enjoy watching Ginger perform in the opening scene. She shows …
Whoopi: Smoke Gets in Your Eyes TV Show
Whoopi: Smoke Gets in Your Eyes has Mavis Rae (Whoopi Goldberg) eager to get some hockey tickets for a couple of New York Rangers games. One of the early funny bits that I had to laugh at was how her handyman, Nasim (Omid Djalili), tried to get her …

This is another good episode to The Cleaner. It’s called To Catch a Fed. In it, William Banks is surprised to see the new truck of his dreams show up on his doorstep. It’s a gift, but it comes with a catch. The gift-giver is a …
The Virginian: The Brazen Bell
The Virginian: The Brazen Bell brought a very interesting portrayal, courtesy of George C. Scott. Royal Dano also did his usual good job. Dano is a character actor who has done more roles than I can count. He’s in at least two shows from season 1 …

Tenspeed and Brown Shoe: Untitled TV Show
As crazy as it sounds, the tenth episode of the 1980 private detective show, Tenspeed and Brown Shoe, was called simply Untitled. That’s one way to solve a problem when you don’t know what to call an episode. The series stars Ben Vereen and Jeff Goldblum, both …
Have Gun - Will Travel: American Primitive TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: American Primitive aired in February 1963 and was the 21st episode of the western’s sixth and last TV season.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Wish
As far as episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer go, “The Wish” was actually a bit corny and not one of my favorites.
This one takes place after Cordelia catching Xander kissing Willow and she ends up making a wish to a demon that Buffy had never come to Sunnydale. …
Highway Patrol: Rabies TV Show
The 39th show of Highway Patrol’s second season on the air was called Rabies. I don’t like the title because I’m an animal lover, and I don’t want to see any animal hurt. It’s just something I don’t enjoy seeing. At any rate, the show opens …
Desperate housewives TV series
“Desperate housewives” is a season series which I really loved to watch every week and can be seen (at the time of this writing) at channel E4 on Sundays at 9 pm, there is also another one every Wednesday which is a repeat. I am not really into …
Scrubs: Our First Day of School
I kind of lost track of Scrubs about midway through the last season. My DVR wasn’t working and there are way too many shows on to watch. I had read that they were going to renew the show for another season, even though most of the cast …
Forever Television Show
This fall one of the television shows that I was determined to watch was a showed called Forever. Forever is the story of Dr. Henry Morgan who is played by Ioan Gruffudd (whom I liked since I first saw him as Mr. Fantastic in the Fantastic Four trilogy). …
Gilligan’s Island - Lovey’s Secret Admirer TV Show
This time Gilligan is not the main character but instead Mrs. Howell. And she is enchanted for the first part of the episode and then learns a life lesson by the end. I do get to see Mrs. Howell’s sweet side and her compassion and attraction to love and …

Trust (Starhunter Episode)
Trust is a bit better of a Starhunter episode than the one that preceded it: Peer Pressure. Here the villains of the day are a bit less annoying, and a bit more sinister. I also really like the concept behind the new prison: a completely automated prison …
Laramie: Deadly Is the Night TV Show
Lloyd Nolan is the primary guest star in Laramie’s 3rd season show, Deadly is the Night. Once again, he faces off with Jess Harper, as played by Robert Fuller. To me, Fuller is Jess Harper. He was born for this role, and to my knowledge, it’s …

Venturer 15″ LCD
I Got the Venturer 15″ LCD TV and couldn’t wait to pull it out of the box. MY first HD TV. Ok it’s only small but it was inexpensive. The TV looked great and i found it could be mounted on the wall. Anyway after connecting my Xbox360 and …
Sea Hunt: The Aquanettes TV Show
The 12th outing for the underwater adventure series Sea Hunt was called The Aquanettes, and one thing I loved about it is that it was mostly under the water. Those are always such intriguing episodes.
In this March 1961 half hour program, Mike Nelson is training three women for …

Stargate: Infinity: Chariot of the Sun continued the crazy adventures of a wayward SG team, led by Major Gus Bonner and consisting of his niece, Stacey, Seattle, Ec’co, and Harrison, as well as a potential Ancient named Draga.

Due South: I Coulda Been a Defendant

From 1959, Confession was the 36th episode to air in the final season, its fourth, of the police drama, Highway Patrol. This half hour series starred Broderick Crawford as Chief Dan Mathews and William Boyett as his number one helper of sorts, Sergeant Ken Williams. For me, …

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 13 has section 9 looking into the case of a kidnapped heiress after she is spotted after 16 years since she was kidnapped by a anti cyberization group.

Afro Samurai Episode 3 (Anime)
