Cow and Chicken
The television series “Cow and Chicken” was one of the most popular cartoons on the cable television channel Cartoon Network from the late 90s to the early 2000s. I can remember most of my friends liking it and having discussions about it even in high school. I didn’t like …
Highway Patrol: Anti-Toxin TV Show

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 …
Ghost Hunters: Crescent Hotel & Dr. Ellis
OK, I have to say it. I have watched plenty of Ghost Hunters episodes in the past and have been left with doubts about what they have found. But, when I saw the Season 2 episode “Crescent Hotel & Dr. Ellis” I have to admit I was pretty creeped …
Bud Bowl
Why is it, whenever they show four people bowling on television, somebody always has to take the game so seriously? I know there are people who do that

Dexter’s Laboratory
Dexter’s Laboratory is a pretty funny show. I think Dexter is cool and he looks really funny. The animation in Dexter’s Laboratory looks like of weird. It has the new look that I don’t really like. I guess it’s because I grew up watching classic animation like bugs bunny. …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 17: Sea Fright
This episode was a blast to watch. Oddly enough, the Ghostbusters themselves take a backseat. They’re pretty much along for the ride as a crew of ghost pirates, or were they pirate ghosts? What was the difference again? Whatever, the ghost crew arrives in New York …

Devices and Desires - Part 3
Part 3 of Devices and Desires, a six-part series based on the P.D. James novel, has the standout line of the first three parts, and probably of the entire story. Spoken by Caroline Amplett to the very naive Jonathan when she says, “You say you love me but …
Star Trek the Next Generation Episode: Devil’s Due
I ended up watching some re-runs of the television series Star Trek the Next Generation this past weekend. And, one of those episodes was one I hadn’t seen before called Devil’s Due.

Bones: The Man in the Morgue
I’ve never seen the full Bones episode “The Man in the Morgue” until last night and, after watching it, I think it is one of the better ones ever produced for a number of reasons.
First, you have the whole think taking place in New Orleans right after hurricane Katrina. …
The Office Seasons 1 & 2
This is a great television show that I was turned on to by my sister who also likes the show. If you haven’t already heard about The Office, it’s a hysterical view of the Dunder Mifflin paper company. The head boss Michael Scott bases his work ethics on fun …
The Twilight Zone: And When the Sky Was Opened TV Show
The Twilight Zone: And When the Sky Was Opened is a flight of fancy in a sense in that it’s hard to tell what the reality is. Even at the end of the show, I’m not sure we know the reality. Was it that people and property …
Snickers Brownie Ice Cream Sandwich
My wife ran to Walgreens Saturday for a couple things and came back with some dessert; Snickers Brownie Ice Cream Sandwiches.
I’m not a huge fan of Snickers bars themselves. But, I do like Snicker’s Ice Cream and thought the idea of a sandwich made up of two brownies on …
CSI
I have become an addict of CSI. I am a mystery lover anyway and when I saw CSI from the first time I was hooked. I even have one of those digital video recording devices to tape them since they are all on past my bedtime. I am so …
The Brady Bunch
I grew up watching “The Brady Bunch” and probably know the plot of every joyously corny episode. The great thing is that, due to the advent of cable television, other generations are able to enjoy this show, too, and I can tune in and satisfy my need for some …
CSI AXN Channel
I was a fan of CSI since the beginning until my uncle, his wife said he was a fan of this program. In our conversations, she replied: “My husband never misses an episode of CSI and made a point of returning to work early or default, whether registered if …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Blind Circle TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Blind Circle is a bit different in ways. The story revolves around a man named Hughes, played by Gerald Gordon who I remember mostly from a stint on General Hospital, hiring Paladin (Richard Boone) to stop a man from killing someone. Gordon …
Emperor’s New School: Prisoner of Kuzcoban
OK, if you watch any of the Harry Potter movies or read the books, you’ll realize the Emperor’s New School episode “Prisoner of Kuzcoban” is based loosely on one of the series.

This is a funny one because …

Hammertime (Reality Show)
I was a little leery of watching MC Hammer’s new reality show. It seems that every rapper or washed up celebrity is trying to keep their career going by inviting cameras into their personal lives. I will admit that I enjoyed one or two of his …
Hawaii Five-O: Six Kilos
Hawaii Five-O: Six Kilos is another showcase for Jack Lord. So many episodes are nearly solo vehicles for Lord, and this is another one of them. The rest of the cast are relegated to brief moments on the screen as McGarrett checks in with them.
In Six Kilos, McGarrett …
Models of the Runway: Hot Mess
Finally. Models of the Runway has been getting a bit boring lately because the designers almost always stick with the models they are used to and don’t make a change from week to week (even the models themselves were commenting about that). So, you can’t imagine how refreshing it …
That Girl: ODPDYPAHIMCAISFSS
This That Girl episode focuses on more false assumptions, which often leads to fun. In ODPDYPAHIMCAISFSS, or as this crazy word stands for, Oh Don, Poor Don, Your Pants Are Hanging In My Closet And I’m Feeling So Sad, Don Hollinger’s mother comes to town for a visit, …

M*A*S*H: Picture This
Written by Karen Hall, M*A*S*H: Picture This is just about pure comedy. There’s not really any drama to it, which is unusual since the show loves to examine more serious issues along with giving up its humor.
The opening bit has Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) wondering what to …
Bones: The Skull in the Sculpture
As far as episodes of Bones go, “The Skull in the Sculpture” was one of the most predictable episodes I’ve seen. I took a wild guess just minutes into the show about who the killer was and was surprisingly right; though I didn’t know the motive.
In fact, everything about …
Law & Order CI: Major Case
I was watching Law & Order Criminal Intent last night and have to say, even though I’m still not a huge fan of the Jeff Goldblum addition to the cast, I did like the episode “Major Case.”
The pairing of Nichols and Eames was definitely interesting though I think Goren …

A couple of months after the second season of CHiPs ended, NBC put together a special two-hour event called The Greatest Adventures of CHiPs. I’m not sure what the intent was, if they just needed to feel a time slot and thought this was a way to do …
Batman: The Brave and the Bold: Mayhem of the music meister!
This episode is a gem. If ever there was a doubt in anyone’s mind that this show ruled, this episode eliminated it, all of it.
I mean come on, it’s a lavish superhero musical with a villain voiced by Neil Patrick freakin’ Harris. What more do …
The Two Coreys: Episode 1.1 - Reunited
In the very first episode of “The Two Coreys”, Corey Haim and Corey Feldman have been reunited as Haim arrives at the Feldman residence to live with he and his wife. The opening theme/sequence borrows heavily from that of “The Odd Couple” TV show, depicting Haim as an annoying …
Who’s Your Pappa - Real Housewives of Atlanta
Now I’m a huge fan of Bravo’s Real Housewives series…especially their Real Housewives of Atlanta series, mostly for the reason that it showcases that Afican Americans like other ethnic groups can enjoy the finer things in life. The episode Who’s Your Pappa with Ne Ne trying to find …
Prison Break
One of the best series to ever hit the television small screen, I honestly and truly believe that the hit series Prison Break, has not only captivated me, but has made a huge impact on audiences world wide.
When I watched Prison Break for the first time last year, …
