Spongebob Squarepants:Bubble Buddy
I finally got to see an episode of Spongebob Squarepants I haven�t seen before; Bubble Buddy. And, I have to admit, it was pretty funny.
This episode features SpongeBob creating an imaginary friend out of his bubbles simply because he has nobody to play with. He then goes around town …
Bones: The Goop on the Girl
A Bones tradition is ending the season with a Christmas episode. This year was no different. And, I will say the episode The Goop on the Girl was actually pretty entertaining.
Booth and Bones have to investigate the death of an exterminator who blows himself up during a botched bank robbery …
The Twilight Zone: Cavender Is Coming TV Show
This show is a reworking of a previous Twilight Zone that starred Orson Bean. While I enjoy and watch that other episode, Cavender Is Coming is actually much better. From season three, it’s Carol Burnett the show centers on. Like Bean’s earlier character, Burnett’s Agnes Grep …
Sea Hunt: Expatriate’s Return TV Show
We’re back with the United States Coast Guard Sea Hunt’s 10th show of season three, Expatriate’s Return. From March 1960, the show has our resident diving guru, Mike Nelson, dealing with another crime boss who is trying to get back into the country.
Now here’s my thing. I’m …
Beast Wars - Spider’s Game
Beast Wars - Spider’s Game is an episode that I definitely enjoyed. It is an episode that introduces the fourth new character to the show, the Predicon Inferno. Inferno is a character that I am real fond of, and boy is his entrance ever a grand one! For me, …
The Carol Burnett Show: Steve Lawrence and Paul Sand TV Show
From its seventh season on the air, The Carol Burnett Show featured Steve Lawrence and Paul Sand, along with Harvey Korman, Vicki Lawrence, and Lyle Waggoner. I’ve always liked Lawrence and his wife, Eydie Gorme. I remember watching this variety series when it aired and wishing the …
CSI New York Season 2 Episode 13 - Risk
CSI New York Season 2 Episode 13 - Risk
Yet another great episode of the show. In this episode the team must find the killers in two very different cases. In the first case, Danny sees a body on a the subway tracks while taking a ride home. The …
Doctor Who: Season 5, Episode 12: The Pandorica Opens
So we come to the first part of the fifth season’s finale, and man, does it manage to cram a lot into the 47 minute run time. The first few minutes jump around to various historical eras. This allows us to see some past characters like Van Gogh, …
The Two Coreys: Episode 2.8 - Intervention
It’s official, I absolutely love the second season. Season 2 of “The Two Coreys” is to Season 1 what “The Godfather, Part II” is to “The Godfather”. The title of this episode, “Intervention”, is exactly what it’s about. This one delves deep into Corey Haim who finds himself in …
Criminal Minds, TV show
Criminal minds is a TV show that will run its eleventh season this year. Eleventh season! There are not many TV shows that can brag with eleven seasons. I saw a few episodes of this show in the past few years but never entire episode, just pieces of an …

Passport to Europe is a show on the Travel Channel hosted by Samantha Brown that comes on Thursday night. In each episode, Samantha visits a different city somewhere in Europe then takes you along with her as she visits historical landmarks, famous places, experiences local cuisines and cultures, takes …
Law & Order SVU Episode: Execution
Synopsis: Stabler and Huang interview a death row inmate in New Jersey in the hopes he will confess to an unsolved murder/rape in New York. But first, they have to overcome a lot of legal obstacles.
What I liked about this episode: I don’t know who played the inmate, but …
Stargate SG-1: Insiders
Stargate SG-1: Insiders is the first of four shows during the season that is without Michael Shanks. As the star of the show, Shanks had learned from the former star, Richard Dean Anderson, and he’d negotiated for these weeks off so he could be home for two important …
Fireball XL5: Space City Special
Fireball XL5: Space City Special is a wonderful, terrific, and very special episode of this puppet TV series. I believe it was probably the season ender, or shown at a break because it aired in June and then there is a break until the next episode aired in …
The Sing-Off: Night Two
The second night of The Sing-Off brought us more acapella numbers from diverse groups throughout the country. I lament that the program wasn’t aired live and instead was taped. It really took away from that spontaneous feel.
Noteworthy tried to perform a song by Cold Play, but it …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Enemies
I have to say, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “Enemies” really had me fooled when I watched it; and that’s not something that happens very often.
I knew from a couple episodes back that Faith had entered the services of the mayor and was no longer fighting evil; she …
Stargate: Infinity: The Long Haul TV Show
I love the very first image we see in Stargate: Infinity: The Long Haul. It’s just a lovely mix of colors and is beautiful to look at. Too quickly, we’re drawn into the latest effort to escape their attackers. This half hour entry is the last …
Fame: A Special Place
Fame: A Special Place is the sixteenth and final episode of Fame’s first season on television and it has some interesting moments, or not, that need to be addressed.
First, oddly, Erica Gimpel isn’t in this show at all. There’s no mention of where Coco is. That’s not …
Project Runway Season 5 Premiere
Eventually, even the most popular shows end up coming full circle and, either because they try too hard to re-invent themselves or because they run out of legitimate talent, they start showing some decline. This is especially true when it comes to reality television because you are always trying …
Monster Episode 13 (Anime)
Monster Episode 13 begins with Tenma and Dieter go to a small village and they meet the town doctor after Dr. Tenma helps a man after he was hit by a car. Dr. Schumann asks Tenma for help around the village and tries to talk to a woman …
Pokemon (TV Show) - Ash Catches a Pokemon (Episode)
“Ash Catches a Pokémon” is the third episode of the “Pokemon” television series and this episode is one that does a good job of showing off the dynamic that quickly begins to build between the Ash and Misty characters. This is the first episode where Ash and Misty actually …
Diagnosis Murder: Lily TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: Lily centers around an old friend of Jack’s, a woman named Sandy Hoyle, played by Romy Windsor. She’s been battered, but that’s not the only surprise. It turns out she’s a call girl. She also plans to retire, based on a blackmail tape she’s …
Nova: The Four Winged Dinosaur (TV episode)
Nova is a show that I really enjoy. It is an educational show on public television (public television is a station where it is not for profit and relies on donations from the public) Nova always has interesting science stories on it. This episode was about the paleontology (the …
Checkmate: Deadly Shadow TV Show
The eighth episode of Checkmate was called Deadly Shadow. Checkmate, Inc. is a detective agency, fairly upscale in nature, run by Don Corey (Anthony George) and Jed Sills (Doug McClure). They’re assisted by a professor, Carl Hyatt, played by Sebastian Cabot, lovingly remembered for his subsequent portrayal …
CSI New York Season 3 Episode 20
This is the absolutely my favourite episode of CSI New York ever. Usually when I watch TV I do a whole bunch of things in between, but this time I was so into the story I think I was sitting the whole time with my mouth open. It …
Death Note Episode 15
Death Note Episode 15 begins with Light giving Misa instructions in order to throw off the Task Force trying to find Kira. She does as he asks and sends a video to the police, hoping to throw them off. And instead L deduces what Kira’s strategy is …
Entourage
I have always liked Mark Wahlberg so when I heard he was producing television show based on his life I was excited to see it.
Entourage delivers in more ways than one. Firstly it’s like a reality show but better, it’s peppy, fast and the dialogue is quick and …
Dell Notebooks (television commercial)
The young man is walking with his red Dell laptop computer. As he struts down the street various people begin to touch him in a congratulatory fashion. The first man actually pats the young man on the bottom. He never seems to skip a …
Kate Winslet on Ellen
Kate Winslet on Ellen was a good watch. She was dressed in a black coat or jacket and she looked particularly decent and sweet. Though she has a British accent, she was such a down-to-earth person and spoke about her husband and friendship with Leo very lovingly. …
Diagnosis Murder: An Innocent Murder TV Show
There’s good news and bad news about Diagnosis Murder. The good news was that it was back for another year. An Innocent Murder is the first episode of the show’s third season. Now depending on your preferences, some of the bad news might be deemed good …
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: Ed McMahon TV Show
Johnny Carson’s The Tonight Show sidekick Ed McMahon was the Man of the Week on this edition of The Dean Martin Comedy Hour. Carson was roasted himself a few episodes after this one. Oddly, Carson didn’t attend this roast, and McMahon wasn’t at Carson’s. You’d think …
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, …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Plant Man TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Plant Man, the 12th show to air in its 3rd season, featured guest star William Smithers in a dual role as both John Wilson and Ben Wilson, brothers who are both scientists and who communicate telepathically. Naturally, they are an …
Games
After going through a season filled with a great reality-based hiring process for new assistants, I really expected more from House�s final decision.
The fact he was forced to make his choice was a bit interesting but the doctors dealing with a drugged-out rocker who was more than likely …
Due South: Seeing Is Believing
Due South: Seeing Is Believing is somewhat interesting. It takes the concept that a thing can happen in front of ten people, and all ten people will see it differently. That’s the story that plays out here. Right before a gift from Canada to America is …
The Andy Griffith Show: Convicts-at-Large TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Convicts-at-Large has some funny moments to it, even though it’s not high up on my personal list of favorite episodes. It’s a third-year show that focuses on the bad luck of Deputy Barney Fife (Don Knotts) and Floyd the barber (Howard McNear) end up …
Highway Patrol: Women Escapees TV Show
From 1959, Highway Patrol: Women Escapees is the 32nd show of the fourth season, which means it was one of the last of this series which starred Broderick Crawford as Chief Dan Mathews and William Boyett as Sergeant Ken Williams. This show was a tad different in that …
Adam-12 Season 3 DVD Set
Thank goodness for Shout Factory. Because of them, the Adam-12 Season 3 DVD Set is available for purchase, and that’s a great thing. While I don’t always like the way Shout Factory organizes their various sets, I’m grateful that they are making shows available that Universal Studios …
That Girl: The Russians Are Staying
That Girl: The Russians Are Staying from the fifth season of this pure comedy series is the last one of the series that leaves me a little vacant. I found the plot about a Russian comedian named Nicholai (Bob Dishy) to be too stereotypical and it simply wasn’t …
Stargate SG1: Politics
Politics started out well but after the first ten minutes I was bored while watching it.
Bored watching an episode of Stargate SG1? How can that be? Well, this episode was what they call a “clip show.” Having seen every episode of Stargate SG1 so far plus …
Beast Wars - A Better Mousetrap
Beast Wars - A Better Mousetrap is an episode that primarily focuses on Rattrap, although the episode also provides newcomers Blackarachnia and Tigertron with some material that allows their characters to be fleshed out a bit more. This episode is also a treat in the respect that much like …
Cory in the House
I knew there was a spin-off from the old show Raven called Cory in the House but I never got a chance to actually watch it until yesterday; when my daughter had it on TV and I just happened to be in the room.
After seeing a couple episodes in …
The Big Bang Theory
I love this show! This is my new favorite sit com!
I was actually waiting for the new season primarily because I wanted to see this show. And, I was a little worried that it wouldn’t live up to its promos, which seemed really funny. I needn’t have worried. Based …
M*A*S*H: Where There’s a Will, There’s a War
M*A*S*H: Where There’s a Will, There’s a War is a very good episode. The action begins when Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) is sent to the front lines to help out. The kink in this armor is that it was B.J. Hunnicutt’s (Mike Farrell) turn to go, but …
Tenspeed and Brown Shoe: Savage Says “What Are Friends For?” TV Show
From 1980, Tenspeed and Brown Shoe: Savage Says “What Are Friends For?” was the first one not directed and written by series creator, Steven J. Cannell, and it showed. While the essence of the wonderful characters of E.L. ‘Tenspeed’ Turner, played brilliantly by Ben Vereen, and Lionel Whitney, …
Survivor Season 20 Episode 5
This weeks episode was a little off for me. There were a couple of things that didn’t work. For instance the challenges were a bit boring. I have made no secret of the fact I am a fan of the Villains and it seems silly that …
Battlestar Galactica: A Disquiet That Follows My Soul
Every episode of Battlestar Galactica is an experience and “A Disquiet That Follows My Soul” is certainly that. This show takes place shortly after The Battlestar Galactica discovers that earth was destroyed and people are still trying to regain their composure.
The president is having the most trouble, retreating from …
