Diagnosis Murder: Naked Babes TV Show
Now this is an enjoyable show. I just love, love, love Diagnosis Murder: Naked Babes, which I thought was cute and inventive with some awesome surprise guest casting.
Basically, Amanda is hosting a dinner party at her home. Her guests are her hospital family — Mark, Jack, Delores, …
Columbo: The Complete Fourth Season DVD set
Columbo: The Complete Fourth Season is once again different from all of the prior sets. Universal has put all four seasons on DVD, and each one has been different. Actually, it’s been a progressive downhill ride with each set. Fortunately, this set is a step up …

House on Fox

October Road Show
When ABC launched October Road as a mid-season replacement series last year, I was hooked from the very first episode. It starts out approximately ten years ago with two of the main characters in bed saying “goodbye - for now”. It seems young Nick Garrett is heading to …
Star Wars: The Clone Wars: The Gungan General
The Gungan General felt like a big step backwards for Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Much of what I have liked in this series is that it didn’t feel like it was made for little kids. In previous episodes, it felt like the people in the show were adults.
In …
The Middle show
The Middle is a new show on ABC this fall. At the time of this writing, there have been six episodes shown. I have seen every one so far - some multiple times - so I think I have a good enough idea to write this review so far.
The …
Garoyles Episode 2.9 City of Stone part 1

This second season episode of Due South focuses more on Detective Ray Vecchio (David Marciano), with Canadian Mountie Benton Fraser (Paul Gross) somewhat secondary. It revolves around more old friends of Ray’s that are on the wrong side of the right and wrong tracks.
One part of the storyline …
China Beach: Lost & Found Part 2 TV show

Reganno Beef Stroganoff Dinner
We had a few errands to run last night and didn’t have a lot of time to make a complicated dinner. So, my wife ended up cooking a Beef Stroganoff boxed dinner from the brand Reganno.
I’m not sure where we bought this dinner (I think it was Aldi) but …

Spongebob Squarepants Season One - Ripped Pants
This episode by far is my favorite episode of Spongebob Square pants . Even as an adult I think that you can really enjoy and get into this show because he is funny and so darn cute. I started to watch Spongebob before any of my children …
Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson
The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson is a late night show. This show usually comes on the same time Conan does, well I guess it would be the Jimmy Fallon show now. I love Craig Ferguson since the first time I caught his show. He doesn’t always have …
Grey’s Anatomy Season 6 Episode 16
After watching a bunch of not so great episodes of Grey’s it was nice to see one that had a good vibe to it. Funny, light hearted and warm and this was that episode, well up until the end anyway where it got sad.
What was cool about this …
That Girl: Don’t Just Do Something, Stand There
In the revised pilot for the That Girl comedy series, struggling actress Ann Marie meets magazine writer Don Hollinger. From that meeting comes a highly successful, humorous, and thoughtful comedy that thrilled millions for five seasons.
Played by Marlo Thomas, the daughter of Danny Thomas, Ann Marie is an …
Batman: The Brave and the Bold: Long arm of the law
I’m not really very familiar with Plastic Man. I always think that the episodes with him involved are going to be sub-par but they usually turn out to be rather enjoyable.
With villains who have names like Kite-Man and Rubberneck, my expectations were pretty low, but they …
The Simpsons
“The Simpsons” is one of the animated series first aired by the cable television channel FOX which I have and will always consider as a classic. I have seen many popular culture references to it in movies and even other cartoons such as “South Park.” However, I think what …
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.

The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Mr. T TV Show
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast kept on trekking from Las Vegas, Nevada by honoring Mr. T of The A-Team. Now why would they do this? In my opinion, it’s one of the NBC self-promotion shows. The dais was full of NBC stars and not many had …
Family Guy: The Story on Page 1
We were watching a Family Guy re-run last night, The Story on Page 1 and I have to say it, it is easily the funniest episode I have seen both of this series and quite a few others I can think of.
To be honest, I’m not even really sure …

MXC TV show
This is a unique show on Spike. It’s actually a Japanese game show that relies on strange physical challenges and obstacle courses. While this might be entertaining in its own right, the true entertainment value of the show comes from its dubbing. They’ve thrown out any …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Out of Mind, Out of Sight
So far, watching re-runs of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer every night has revealed two things about the show. First, Sarah Michelle Gellar is hot. Second, for every good episode of the series, there is at least two bad episodes.
The episode out of mind, out of sight was one …

The Simpsons: Jazzy and the Pussy Cats
Well, who knew Bart’s trouble making tendencies could be turned into something good? The Simpsons episode “Jazzy and the Pussycats” shows Lisa isn’t the only one in the family with the ability to be a talented musician.
This is actually a funny episode. Bart makes trouble at church and, embarassed …
It’s Me or the Dog Animal Planet show
Truth be known, if my wife and I could have found anything better on television, we probably would never have watched the Animal Planet show “It’s Me or the Dog.”
After watching it, I have to say I’m not sure if it’s a show I will be watching again.
The concept …
Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 15
Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 15 begins with Alex Louis Armstrong confronting Scar about his ishbalan religion and how they are against alchemy. Meanwhile Ed and Al try to get Dr. Marcoh to safety.

FOX TV’s Glee TV Series
When I first heard about Glee, I didn’t want to start watching it. But I started watching videos on YouTube with the actors and I realized that it must be a really interesting thing to watch.
First, if you don’t know what Glee is about —“ it takes place in …
The Twilight Zone: The Last Night of a Jockey TV Show
The fact that it’s the fifth season really shows for The Twilight Zone. There are several shows in a row that I just don’t like, and The Last Night of a Jockey from October 1963 is another one of them. The stories had some good actors, but …

Destination Truth: Haunted Forest/Alux
Last night was the first time I have taken the time to sit down and watch the series “Destination Truth.” I have to say it, the season premiere I watched “Haunted Forest/Alux” is one that has me wanting to watch it more often.
In this episode, the Destination Truth team …
Hell Date (BET TV show)
I watched this show a little while ago and was kind of interested. At first I didn’t realize that it was actually a prank show. The daters (usually the women) are actually actresses hired by BET to make the dates unbearable. The dates can take all …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: All the Way
Buffy’s final Halloween centric episode is something of a mixed bag. While it does a great job in continuing the pre-existing character and story arcs to great effect, the story itself is weak and lacking. It certainly doesn’t manage to capture the playful essence of the holiday previously seen …
Bizare Foods with Andrew Zimmern (Series on the Travel Channel)
The travel channel show, Bizarre Foods with Andre Zimmern, is too great a show to break down into merely one episode. Besides, Andrew Zimmern does the exact same thing in every episode just in different places all over the world. I would have thought that that would be boring …
Most Shocking (TruTV)
Crime shows and forensic shows really appeal to me because they showcase the realistic aspect of human nature. But the shows that really amp up the action are the “Most Shocking” programs that feature different aspects of shocking things that happen amongst ordinary citizens. Sometimes …

M*A*S*H: Hey, Doc
M*A*S*H: Hey, Doc is best remembered for the closing segments of the show which for me is the one real reason for staying tuned to this half-hour program. Not every show can be stellar all the way through, and this one has a couple of little gaps in …
