Extreme Makeover
Extreme Makeover is a television series where each week they show 2 people who think they are ugly and want to have an entire makeover. The makeover consists of not only clothes, hair and makeup and weight but of plastic surgery. Unfortunately I think it does …
Runs House
My cousin told me about this television show on mtv, that I should watch it. As soon as I started watching it I liked it. I like how they show the family all together. How they show how they have problems but yet stick as a family and work …
Direct T.V
Direct Television is a great thing. We switch to direct a long time ago, and now we have it in four rooms of the house. It is a lot cheaper than many of the others, and you still get a lot of the channels, which you can choose. They …
M*A*S*H: No Laughing Matter
In M*A*S*H: No Laughing Matter, Major Charles Emerson Winchester III sees a chance to finally be transferred back to Tokyo when the colonel who sent him to the 4077th visits the camp. Robert Symonds returns as Colonel Horace Baldwin. The odd thing to me is that Baldwin …
American Dad tv show
The first time I saw American Dad going on I honestly thought it was the show Family Guy, since the drawings and themes were a bit similar. Therefore, I wasn’t surprised when I found out that this show was also co-created by Seth MacFarlane. I’m not American, neither do …
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 …
The Virginian: Eileen TV Show
From March 1969, Eileen was a seventh season episode of The Virginian. The story involved a young woman named Eileen who visits Shiloh. The trip was arranged by her father, a friend of Clay Grainger. At the heart of the trip is the fact that Eileen …
So You Think You Can Dance - Top Seven Perform TV Show
This was the Top Seven Perform episode of So You Think You Can Dance. Following are the highlights, and low lights, from my point of view:
–Another injury, this time it’s Ashley. Last week we lost Alex, so it would be horrible to see another dancer go home …
Ninja Warrior G4 TV
The Ninja Warrior competition takes place in Japan, where one hundred would-be ninjas (average, everyday people, in fact) arrive at Mt. Midoriyama to compete for the title. Japanese viewers have been tuning in to these taped specials for a decade now.
Here in the United States, we have a slightly-altered …
Chopped Television Show
Although I will admit that I am a terrible cook, one of my favorite television stations to watch is Food Network. I love learning about the history and uses of different foods and seeing others create innovate dishes using ingredients that I have never heard of. One …
Generations (tv series)
I’ve never really been the type of person to watch television soap operas, since I’ve never had much interest in them. I can remember specifically that back when I was in high school there was a group of girls who would watch these series and then talk about them …
Gareth Malone’s Extraordinary School for Boys TV Show
Okay, who is this Gareth Malone really? I know he’s British and that he loves music, but is he really someone with an award winning history and/or outstanding reputation? I can’t tell, and I really don’t know. I’m left to ponder the query though with the advent …
Star Trek: This Side of Paradise TV Show
Star Trek: This Side of Paradise is one of the most well known episodes in which we see another side of the rational and logical Mr. Spock, played so aptly by Leonard Nimoy. It’s safe to say that this Spock is not like the normal Vulcan we see. …
CSI: Miami: Dead on Arrival TV Show
CSI: Miami: Dead on Arrival aired in 2009. The thing is that I don’t watch CSI: Miami on a regular basis. The last time I watched it intentionally was when Michael Shanks guest starred on an outing called Payback. Before that, I think I checked out …
Unsolved History: Chicago Fire
From 2003, Unsolved History: Chicago Fire examines the devastating 1871 Chicago fire that essentially destroyed the city. The experts from the show recreated the O’Leary barn and nearby structures and with the cooperation of the Chicago Fire Department actually started a very hot and dangerous fire to help …
The Defenders: Pilot TV Show
The first phrase that comes to my mind when I think about the pilot episode for The Defenders is ’smart move. When word first came out about this show, the word was that it was going to be a re-do of the popular lawyer series from the 60’s …
Jack and the Beanstalk: The True Story
I’ve never seen the mini-series Jack and the Beanstalk: The True Story until tonight, when it was broadcast in its entirety. Overall, it was a good show.
I don’t know if I like how they exploited the deceased Jim Henson by claiming it was his show. I think that was …
The Philanthropist
I had really high hopes for The Philanthropist when I first saw the commercials. It looked like an exciting action/adventure show with a real human element, and important moral message. The pilot lived up to those expectations. Telling the story of a billionaire who suddenly snaps …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Four - Enemy-In-Law

House: Moving the Chains
Well, last night’s episode of House was somewhat interesting.
First, you had a football player on the verge of being drafted by the NFL suffering some sort of ailment that causes his skin to turn white (he’s black) and have a breakdown on the field that causes him to beat …
Highway Patrol: Statute of Limitations TV Show
From February 1957, Highway Patrol: Statute of Limitations, starring Broderick Crawford as California Highway Patrol Chief Dan Mathews, is just a so so episode that did very little to capture my interest for more than a few seconds at a time.
The story begins by talking about speeding, which is …
Greek: Season 1
When I first saw this new ABC Family television show advertising, I did not think I would enjoy it. I thought it would only be yet another silly and immature teenage television series which I at the time had no cares about like “Dawson’s Creek”, “Laguna Beach” and “Lincoln …
Miss America Pageant 2010
Hosted by Mario Lopez with help by Clinton Kelly and Jeannette Carlson, the Miss America Pageant 2010 aired on the TLC channel.
Judges included Shawn Johnson, Vivica A. Fox, Rush Limbaugh, Dave Koz, and Brooke White, which is surprising. Her claim to fame is being in the top ten …
Family Guy: Mr. Griffin Goes to Washington
I’m not sure I was a big fan of last night’s episode of Family Guy, Mr. Griffin Goes to Washington. It was OK but didn’t seem to be as well written as other episodes.
I did like the plot a bit, Peter’s company is bought out by a cigarette company …
M*A*S*H: Dear Sigmund
The letter home theme gets a bit of a twist in M*A*S*H: Dear Sigmund when visitor Sidney Freedman, a psychiatrist, comes for the monthly poker game and starts a letter to his friend, Sigmund Freud. While doing so, he talks about the magic of the camp and the …

North Little Rock’s Old Mill
I love touring and taking pictures of old mills. I have been to almost every old mill left standing throughout Missouri and Arkansas throughout the years. I was fortunate to finally get to the Noth Little Rock Old Mill on one of our family siteseeing outings a while back. …
The Twilight Zone: Of Late I Think of Cliffordville TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Of Late I Think of Cliffordville features Albet Salmi as a wealthy, egotistical, and annoying businessman named William Feathersmith. He lives for the challenge and in this program, he gets a shot at it.
Here are a few thoughts about The Twilight Zone: Of Late I …

Band of Brothers Episode 10 Points is the final episode of the HBO Home Entertainment miniseries Band of Brothers and shows the members of Easy Company learning about who gets to return home and who has to stay to fight in the Pacific against the Japanese.
This was a very …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Evel Knievel TV Show
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast continued with a tribute to, of all people, and I can’t even fathom why, Evel Knievel. Taped in Las Vegas, as always, the roasters included Ernest Borgnine, Gabe Kaplan, and a slew of other folks who have basically nothing to do with Knievel, …
The Jetsons
The Jetsons is a cartoon about a family living in the space age. George is the father, Jane is the mother, Judy is the daughter and Elroy is the boy. The Jetsons are a total hoot and a must see for children and adults alike. I like thinking that …
The Simpsons Season 6 Episode 20
The episode begins with the entire Simpsons family blaming Bart for the damage done to their property. Later it turns out that it was their dog who had done this. The dogs seems a bit too hyper active. So they decide to get the dog checked. Instead of going …
Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Kansas City Chiefs
When I first heard that HBO was running a show on NFL training camp, I thought it would just be another boring and poorly portrayed image of the NFL. Was I wrong, this documentary by NFL films has to be one of the best I’ve seen. It was not …
The Office show
The Office was adapted from the BBC show of the same title and is by far one of the funniest and smartest shows on television. It was adapted for the US by Greg Daniels, the producer of The Simpsons and King of the Hill, and, in my opinion, …
Stargate Atlantis 520 - Enemy at the Gate
After five seasons, the Scifi Channel canceled the long running original series „Stargate Atlantis”. Because of that decision season five finale became at the same time the series final episode. With the possibility for movies, the writers had a difficult task of writing an episode that would give enough …
Private Practice Season 3 Episode 16
This episode was a little strange for me but still enjoyable.
After all that drama with Maya she has disappeared. Also Dell was nowhere to be seen, and I missed seeing Dell.
I don’t like the Addison and Pete relationship, I was actually quite happy when the writers decided to …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Sweet Lady of the Moon TV Show
I love the opening teaser for this sixth season show of Have Gun - Will Travel which is entitled Sweet Lady of the Moon. What happens is that our hero, Paladin (Richard Boone), is apparently dating a feminist and it leads to some antagonistic responses. I thought …
Family Guy - Padre de Familia
Peter Griffin is the best! And I say this unequivocally…and this is proven in the episode Padre de la Familia, where Peter becomes a part of a pro-American campaign….trying especially to rid the US workforce of non-Americans….He proceeds to visit his mother to obtain a copy of his birth …
Sea Hunt: Sunken Car TV Show
Sea Hunt: Sunken Car begins with Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) doing a survey job where a pipe would be placed later. I like seeing how they link these little opening bits with what ultimately becomes the main focus of the half hour episodes. The survey really has …
Ghost Hunters TV Episode: Frozen in Fear
Synopsis: The TAPS team investigates a northern Michigan resort (which is deserted as a result of it being the off-season) in an effort to hunt down the spirit of a college student who reportedly killed himself when he proposed to his girlfriend and was turned down.
What I liked about …
The Simpsons: The Wife Aquatic
I finally got to see the entire Simpsons episode The Wife Aquatic last night. And, overall, I feel I wasn’t very impressed with it.
The plot of this episode started out promising. Marge wants to go to an island that presented plenty of childhood memories. But, when they get there, …
Spongebob Squarepants:Big Pink Loser
Because of my daughter, I have seen almost every episode of SpongeBob SquarePants. The one episode I�ve seen a dozen times and still find hilarious is Big Pink Loser.
This episode focuses on Patrick, (Spongebob�s Starfish friend) and how he is upset about never winning an award. And, he gets …
The TV network MTV
The network MTV really sucks now a days and I am sorry but MTV is short for music television but seriously how often does MTV plays music? They hardly play music anymore except in the mornings, like very early mornings and that is about it. I think it is …
The Simpsons Season 4 Episode 5 Treehouse Of Horror 5
All the kids are assembled at The Simpsons house for a Halloween party. Marge begins to tell a story, in the dark, passing edible stuff and saying that this is a witch’s organs. Homer ruins it by eating the parts. Lisa then begins to tell a scary story about …
David Letterman Talk Show Episode with Kate Winslet
I remember watching David Letterman Talk Show Episode with Kate Winslet and it was during those glamor days surrounding the hype of the movie Titanic. It was such a very good episode and Kate is such a good talker.
I love watching her on talk shows and interviews …
M*A*S*H: Comrades in Arms: Part 2
M*A*S*H: Comrades in Arms: Part 2 continues the story begun the week before when Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) and Margaret Houlihan (Loretta Swit) finally consummated their love-hate relationship amid being shot at away from the 4077th. It’s actually a pretty believable aftermath to everything that had transpired between …
So You Think You Can Dance: Top Six Perform Again TV Show
So You Think You Can Dance - Top Six Perform Again was a terrific night of TV viewing. Rather than going routine by routine, here are my thoughts on the top six.
