TV Reviews
The Parkers TV show
I think The Parkers is an OK TV show. Sometimes they show was funny, but I was annoyed by it at times. I really think this show was not written very well. The main plot of the show was Monique the fat woman trying to hook up with the professor. …
Beast Wars - Other Voices, Part 1
Beast Wars - Other Voices, Part 1 is the first half of the season finale and in this episode the viewer learns more about the aliens that have placed odd structures and technology on the planet. It is also in this episode that the aliens essentially declare war on …
Ghost Whisperer
I used to hear about the show Ghost Whisperer on television, but at the time I never really got a chance to watch it. I also wasn’t really making an attempt to see it either since it seemed like one of those silly television series which would have so …
Project Runway (Even Designers Get the Blues)
This episode of Project Runway was definitely worth watching this week. Rather than getting to work with their choice of fabric, the designers were forced to use denim; more specifically, Levi denim taken from blue jeans and other denim outfits.
Of course, you have the usual trash talking throughout the …
Bleach - Adventure and Supernatural Anime
Bleach is an anime mainly written by Tite Kubo. It’s published on TV Toyko, funimation among a bunch of other hosts. The story revolves around Ichigo Kurosaki, a teenager who is currently in school. His life changes forever when he meets a woman called Rukia Kuchiki. The anime goes through …
CSI: New York Damned If You Do TV Show
Damned If You Do was the third outing for the seventh season of CSI: New York, and I can’t say that I liked their choice of opening song which was a throwback to Miami Vice. It’s so strongly associated with that show that I can’t believe the music …
Sea Hunt: Sonar Queen TV Show
From 1958, Sea Hunt: Sonar Queen is a neat little episode that I enjoyed. It showed the audience something new for its day, and I tend to like information shows. Essentially, Mike Nelson the well known skin diver is hired to test what is actually a type …
Medical Comedy: Scrubs
Scrubs is a medical comedy that has held my interest from the beginning. It takes on an easy going, humorous, and sometimes plain crazy look into the lives of the doctors of Sacred Heart hospital. There’s Elliot: a woman just trying to fit in and let loose …
Dawsons Creek
Was a television show that lasted for 5 Seasons. It was a late 90’s show, that contained 4 teenagers called Dawson, (James Vender beek.), Joey (Katie Holmes), Pacey (Joshua Jackson) and Jen (Michelle Williams).
Dawson was an inspired Director and Pacey was his best friend. Joey was the girl …
The Andy Griffith Show TV Episode: Mayberry on Record
Like I mentioned in another review, I was home with the kids yesterday and, while rocking my youngest daughter to sleep, I found myself watching some episodes of the Andy Griffith Show.
One of these episodes, entitled “Mayberry on Record,” wasn’t too bad.
This one had a man coming to Mayberry …
Masquerade: Spanish Gambit
From April 1984, Masquerade: Spanish Gambit was an entertaining show to watch. It had a good supporting cast, a tad of humor, and a bit more reality to it. Part of the problem of this series in its first episodes is that nothing severe ever went wrong. …
Stargate SG-1: Crusade
Stargate SG-1: Crusade is definitely not a favorite show. The biggest problem with it is that Claudia Black is back as Vala, and that’s a sure sign of disaster. The horrid premise has her in the Ori galaxy using a device to contact the SGC, and in …
New girl ‘Jeff Day’, TV show
Jeff Day is the fifteenth episode in the fifth season of New Girl, a sit-com, where Jeff Day is Jessica’s Day fictional alter-ego. There were two plots, Jess trying to buy a car with Nick’s and Sam’s help, and the other one involving Cece and Schmidt trying to get to …
Sea Hunt: The Prospectors TV Show
Sea Hunt: The Prospectors, from June 1958, has Mike Nelson in the middle of two prospectors (one of whom is at times violently paranoid about being cheated). They ask Nelson to help with their hunt for uranium, and he agrees. However, once they find what they’re after, …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Manhunt TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: The Manhunt is another solid outing for the first season of this wonderful family television series. It’s a bit of a face off between this small town of Mayberry, its sheriff and his deputy, and the bigger state police of North Carolina and the …
Home Improvement: To Build or Not to Build
I was watching the tail end of a Home Improvement episode today at lunch “To build or Not to build” and will say I was very impressed with it.
I wasn’t sure what the episode was about at first, but it turns out it was a Mother’s Day episode revolving …
The Beverly Hillbillies (TV Show) - Something for the Queen (Episode)
“Something for the Queen” is an episode of “The Beverly Hillbillies”. The episode continues the storyline established in the previous episode, “A Bundle for Britain”. This episode has the Clampetts along with Milburn Drysdale and Jane Hathaway boarding a plane for London, England. The first half of the episode …
Star Trek: The Cloud Minders TV Show
Star Trek: The Cloud Minders is an okay third season entry for this science fiction legendary show, but it’s hardly a favorite. What I do like about it is that at least it’s not Kirk falling in love again. That said, it’s yet another story about a …
Sea Hunt: Beyond Limits TV Show
Sea Hunt: Beyond Limits aired toward the end of the third season, back in September 1960. I am amazed that I tend to enjoy this show as much as I do in reruns because up until it started airing on ThisTV, the whole concept bored me. While …
Seven days Season 2 Episode 10
When I watch these old shows I really like to see some actors that I have seen somewhere else, in past or in present. In this episode Roxann Dawson appears, she had roles n different shows back in 90’s but I think that most of us remembers her as …
Judge Judy
I just adore Judge Judy. She is a real Judge called Judith Sheindlin who, in this show, presides over real cases from the small claims court. The show has been running from 1996 and is still being made and in every episode we see two or three …
Supernatural show
This show stars Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki who play the roles of Dean Winchester and Sam Winchester respectively. They are two brothers who hunt demons. Dean is a character who is easy to fall in love with. He is humorous even when he doesn’t intend to be! Sam …
Doctor Who: Season 3, Episode 8: 42
The TARDIS arrives on a vessel that is badly damaged and drifting towards a nearby sun. They have only 42 minutes to get everything up and running if they want to survive.
Now, at first glance, this seems like a simple solution, just load everyone into the …
MacGyver: Cleo Rocks
From a Jack Dalton episode to another Penny Parker episode. I miss the days when MacGyver was doing exotic assignments overseas. In this fourth season episode, Cleo Rocks, MacGyver has been invited to the premier of Penny’s new play. It’s her first real job as an …
House: The Greater Good
More and more each week, I find myself not liking the House character Cuddy. Well, to be honest, I think the entire show might be going downhill a bit since it focuses on character interaction and relationships rather than actually trying to solve some sort of medical problem.
Once again, …
NCIS
NCIS is a crime drama. It stands for Naval Crime Investigation and that’s what it is. They deal with crimes that involve the navy. While on the surface that may sound boring it’s actually not. NCIS is a very well done show and is …
War and Remembrance: The Making of War and Remembrance featurette
Produced in 2004, the War and Remembrance: The Making of War and Remembrance featurette opens with one of the promotional ads for this lengthy mini-series which aired on ABC in 1988. From there, viewers are introduced to Dan Curtis who produced, directed, and co-wrote the mammoth war picture. …
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 …
Kim Possible: Emotion Sickness
My daughter hasn’t watched Kim Possible in a while so I took the time to load some of the old TV episodes on our netflix player today. We ended up watching a couple of them from the third season; including a very funny episode, Emotion Sickness.
This one starts out …
Spongebob Squarepants TV Episode: The Card
I don’t normally pay much attention to Spongebob Squarepants when my daughter has it on and usually just find something else to do instead. However, she had an episode on the other day, The Card, that was pretty funny.
Basically, Spongebob wants a rare card that Patrick has found and, …
“Daredevil” series on Netflix
For years now, it seems like it is government-mandated to watch all of the Marvel films, because as much as I try, I can’t seem to keep myself out of the theater! The “Daredevil” series on Netflix, although successful, seems to not be as etched into the mainstream as …
Burn Notice: Seek and Destroy
Perhaps it was me but I didn’t care all that much for Burn Notice this week. It wasn’t that there was anything wrong with the story, it just didn’t catch me right. They are still looking for t he man who tried to blow up Michal at the end …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Brother’s Keeper TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Brother’s Keeper, the 33rd show from season 4 of this western program, was written by Jay Simms. I don’t often mention the writers, but I liked the way he constructed this episode. It was dramatic and somewhat whimsical at the same time. …
The Cable Guy
This movie was directed by Ben Stiller and stars Jim Carrey and Matthew Broderick. Chip is a television obsessed cable guy who is called upon to install Steven Kovac’s Cable. Steven offers Chip a bribe to get all the pay channels for free, Chip takes him up on it …
Cupcake Wars: Vintage Cupcakes TV Show
I have to admit that this episode of Cupcake Wars called Vintage Cupcakes was the first one where I wasn’t captivated off the bat by at least one of the contestants during the first round. This was the taste test repackaging traditional flavors with modern ingredients. The …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Three - Pranks A Lot
Spongebob and Patrick just love to get into mischief. They find themselves shopping one day at a local store in Bikini Bottom and buy some invisible spray. They can think of so many good ideas they can do with this, and they plan a lot of pranks …
Highway Patrol: Cargo Hijack TV Show
Highway Patrol: Cargo Hijack, a half hour police drama from the early years of television, was a show from its fourth and final season on the air, the 26th to be exact.
This episode is a story about a robbery team that doesn’t do their homework. Sheila Nolan (Cathy …
Chase: Havoc TV Show
Chase: Havoc was one of the more interesting hours of this freshman NBC series that focuses on a team of United States Marshals. The head of the team is Annie. She’s a bit of a wild cannon in my opinion and I’m not sure yet if I …
The Simpsons Season 7 Episode 4
Bart plays a terrible prank in church. Rev Lovejoy asks who it is, lest their souls will go to hell. Hearing this Milhouse squeals that it was Bart, and so both Bart and Milhouse are punished. Bart then argues with Milhouse that there is no such thing as a …
Uefa Champions League Magazine Television Show
With interest in the Uefa Champions League touching all corners of the earth, a weekly show like the Uefa Champions League Magazine, which rounds up all the previous week’s exploits is a welcome necessity for me, and something that has become a huge part of my football lifestyle.
I think …
Comic Book Superheroes Unasked Documentary
Comic Superheroes Unmasked is a documentary on the History Channel about this history of comic books and superheroes. It features interviews with many influential comic book authors and illustrators.
It was a very interesting documentary. Since I enjoy reading comic books, I found the documentary to be …
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 …
That Girl: That Shoplifter
You just have to feel for Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) in That Girl: That Shoplifter. She’s so innocent and naive sometimes. Of course, back in 1971 when this ABC hit comedy aired, things weren’t as jaded as they are today.
While working as a specials announcer at a …
Simpsons - Fool Monty
As in the way of the Simpsons current episodes, this one is one of those that is primarily hit and miss when it came to humor and laughs. It did provide some humor into Mr. Burns losing his memory and everyone in town uses him as he has been …
The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 6: Ascension
This episode picks up with Mulder getting Scully’s message wherein she is subsequently kidnapped by the escaped mental patient/UFO abductee named Duane Barry. A thought occurred to me just after I wrote the review for the last episode, why would he take Scully? He had no interaction with …
No Ordinary Family: No Ordinary Ring TV Show
I’m still trying out No Ordinary Family but I’m not sure that I’ll be sticking with the full season. There are elements of the show that I like. It’s different in that it’s not a family gaining super powers who then all become super heroes. Rather, …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Calf TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Calf was intriguing, mainly due to its guest star, Don Grady. Grady is best known for playing Robbie Douglas on My Three Sons. I’ve seen him on many things before but not that many that were done during My Three Sons. …
Beast Wars - The Trigger, Part 1
Beast Wars - The Trigger, Part 1 is a two part episode that continues the mysterious alien story arc that was first started in the episode, “Chain of Command”. In this episode, a strange floating island is discovered and on it, beauty as well as danger. Amidst the green …
