TV Reviews
MacGyver: Friends
This show seems a little early, in that it would feel more appropriate as a fourth or fifth season show, but that said, it’s still a good episode. MacGyver: Friends is actually a clips show. Producing an action series like MacGyver is costly. All those explosions …
Project Runway: The Hi’s and Low’s of Fashion
I haven’t really been watching this season of Project Runway; mostly because the last season just ended. But, I did watch last night’s challenge; the Hi’s and Lows of Fashion.
This challenge was actually somewhat interesting. Once again, the show decides to create tension by having the designers pair up …
Mysteries at the Museum (Mystery Television Show)
I love stories about the past and mysteries in general so I tend to be thrilled when the two genres combine. That is what attracted me to a television series such as “Mysteries at the Museum”. I’m able to watch a series that reveals the secrets behind certain relics I …
Blacke’s Magic: The Revenge of the Esperanza
Blacke’s Magic: The Revenge of the Esperanza opens a bit differently for this hour-long drama. It seems Alex Blacke’s dad, Leonard, has been charging up a storm on the credit cards and isn’t where he was supposed to be, so Alex goes after him and gets involved with …
HPV Commercials
Whoever is broadcasting HPV commercials on television stations, deserves a metal as far as I am concerned. Because this disease is acutally a virus that when contracted, has the potential to cause cancer in women, I think that it is wonderful that there is being time devoted to …

Stargate SG-1: Rules of Engagement is a third-season episode of the successful series, and it’s one I enjoy watching. The team stumbles upon a training base setup by Apophis, whom they believe is dead. The purpose of the base is to help aliens act more like the …

Oprah Winfrey
I tried to watch recently on two different occasions. I had a hard time getting through each episode. The first time, I gave her the benefit of the doubt; I thought it was just the topic that I was not very interested in. She was really …
Running in Heels
My wife and I were bored yesterday and wound up watching television. After surfing through some channels, we ended up with the show “Running in Heels.” It was OK but nothing special.
The show basically is a behind-the-scenes look at the fashion magazine industry with us getting an introduction to …

Criminal Minds S3 E4
Criminal Minds Season 3 Episode 4-Children of the Dark
This episode is a bit different than the usual formula. The identity of the criminals is revealed at the very beginning, but there was a good reason why the writers had made that choice. The story tells of a series of …
Outnumbered British Television Situation Comedy Show
Outnumbered is one of the best comedies currently showing on British TV. It is always amusing and, rather than giving me belly laughs, I watch which fascination to see what the kids are going to come out with next. Outnumbered is a sit com featuring the middle …
For Warrick Episode
I finished watching the latest season of CSI: Las Vegas season 9, first episode entitled,
“For Warrick”. I could not believe it myself that they have actually killed Warrick’s character in this series. I have like seen him in all of the episodes of the CSI Las Vegas. He was …
Models of the Runway: Frenemies
So much for a modeling competition without major drama. This week’s episode starts out where last week’s ended; two models at each others throats because one overreacted when she lost her designer and another one over reacted when the first one got mad at her for not keeping her …

The Singing Bee
Our local TV channel has just brought us the localized version of “The Singing Bee”. A show produced by NBC, an all American reality show aired only about 2 seasons and did not last very long because it did not have a good tv ratings in America. Having said …
The X-Files: Season 3, Episode 2: Paper Clip
Concluding the three part extravaganza, this episode manages to maintain all of the things that worked about the previous episode, while toning down on the stuff that didn’t. The pseudo-philosophical narration is still here, but it doesn’t play as large a part as it did when Mulder was …
Fringe
Fringe is one FOX TV’s newest and most thrilling shows. Starring Joshua Jackson and Anna Torv, the show chronicles the investigations of FBI agent Olivia Dunham (Torv) which shows a pattern of mysterious events occurring on earth. In order to solve the various mysteries, she gets help from Dr. …
Burn Notice: Comrades
Burn Notice: Comrades brings us Michael Westen’s brother, Nate, who is far less interesting than Michael is. In fact, I don’t really care much about him. The two have a strained relationship that leaves you guessing about Nate’s true intentions the entire time.
I do like some of …
Wagon Train: The Zebedee Titus Story
Wagon Train: The Zebedee Titus Story is a somewhat humorous tale that guest stars Neville Brand in the title role. He’s one of the old mountain men who’s aged but not yet ready to admit it. He has a hard time seeing far away, and he’s just …
Death Note the Anime
Death Note is an anime series that took my breath away. At first I was skeptic about an anime that could interest me, but after I saw the first episodes I knew this was going to be special.
The story revolves around Light Yagami, a high-school student, head of his …
The Simpsons TV Episode: Donnie Fatso
Synopsis: Homer is arrested and the only way to avoid prison time is going undercover for the FBI in an effort to collect evidence against mafia boss Fat Tony.
What I liked about this episode: I think the best part of this episode, for me at least, had to be …
The X-Files: Season 1, Episode 7: Ghost in the Machine
From what I’ve read, this episode got mostly negative reviews. I’m not sure why. I mean, yeah, the opening makes it clear that the machine is responsible (though I’ll take that over teasers that don’t imply anything out of the ordinary) and it was a tad formulaic, …
CSI Season 5 Episode 14- Unbearable
I felt it was a mediocre episode. It wasn’t bad, but it was not something very interesting and exciting. It was just another episode on the show, waiting to be forgotten. The human factor of the story always surprises me. You can write a really great episode, with all …
M*A*S*H: Foreign Affairs
M*A*S*H: Foreign Affairs is a different story because it’s the first love affair for Major Charles Emerson Winchester III (David Ogden Stiers). He becomes mesmerized by a French Red Cross worker who is at the 4077th to observe for a few days. Melinda Mullins guest stars as …
Top Chef: Just Desserts: Lucent Dossier TV Show
Top Chef: Just Desserts: Lucent Dossier was probably the most unique of all the Top Chef shows from all seasons, and that wasn’t necessarily a good thing. In fact, it brought up a lot of questions. These pastry chefs have more emotional issues than the regular top …
Life on Mars season 1 Episode 9 The Dark Side Of The Mook
The squad has been taken in for questioning about the disappearance of Ray’s brother Eddie Carling.

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 …

Heroes TV Series
This is the greatest tv series ever! I love the story, I always love sci-fi movies, this is one of the best. I love the characters, so many of them and so little time, one hour is not enough! Good guys, bad guys, between good and …
Family Guy: The Fat Guy Strangler
You know, I could have sworn the show Family Guy has been on the air for a few years now. So, why is it, whenever I watch a re-run at 6:30 or 10:30 it is usually one of only about a dozen episodes?
Last night was one I have seen …
That Girl: It’s So Nice to Have a Mouse Around the House

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Mermaid TV Show
From January 1967, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Mermaid is a terrific show. It’s so dramatic, but I love the humor in it. This 19th show of the third season begins with a cute scene in the control room of the Seaview. It …
Lance Bass and Lacy Schwimmer
Oh my gosh how cute are they? I love watching them dance as much as I enjoy watching Warren dance! She is so cute on the dance floor and I love how she’s not super super skinny; she’s gorgeous. And Lance is good as well, of course he’s had …
M*A*S*H: The Joker Is Wild
One thing that I remember about the final season of this great series is that they mentioned in some way just about all of the early cast members, giving everyone a final nod. I always thought that was classy. In M*A*S*H: The Joker Is Wild, it’s Trapper …
Psych: The head, the tail, the whole damn episode
My wife and I finally got around to watching last week’s episode of Psych (which we recorded Wednesday because we had other shows on that we wanted to watch instead). It was an OK episode, but much like many of the other episodes this season, could have been better.
This …

In Stargate Atlantis: Infection, an episode from the end of the fifth and last season of this series, the wraith Todd, portrayed by Christopher Heyerdahl, returns. He’s helping Dr. Jennifer Keller (Jewel Staite) with the gene/drug therapy that would curb the wraith’s need to feed on humans. …
The Christmas Visitor cartoon
The Christmas Visitor, which was a cartoon production from the golden age by Halas and Batchelor, was a variation on the telling of the classic A Night Before Christmas. The color offering actually begins very classically in this regard, with the narration right from the very familiar story.
It’s …
Adam-12: Pick-up
There’s an exciting spark to Adam-12: Pick-up from season four, and it’s all because of a wonderful guest star appearance by Barbara Hale. Looking like the beautiful Della Street of Perry Mason, here she plays Mrs. Jessup, a mother called to the station to deal with her teenage …
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.

Big Brother: Eviction September 2, 2010 TV Show
The Big Brother Eviction show from September 2, 2010 was memorable for one very important reason: Matt had to deal with the wrath of those in the Jury House.
Viewers haven’t really seen much of the Jury House this season. The show used to make a big deal out …
South Park - Eat, Pray, Expell Air
First, I don’t know if the last word of this title was offensive or might have been thought of sensitive, so I just cut it out of the title and the rest of the review. If you have seen the episode, you will understand what the word is, so …
The Twilight Zone: The Chaser TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Chaser is an okay outing for this science fiction series. I don’t particularly love it, but I don’t dislike it, either. It’s one of the few roles I can somewhat tolerate John McIntire in. He plays a mysterious professor who sales …
