Stargate SG-1: Nemesis
Season three of Stargate SG-1 ends with the first of a two-part that sadly indicates a shift in the show that ultimately began its downhill slide. Many fans consider the first three years of the show to be the vintage years. Sadly, I agree with them.
The unfortunate …
Star Trek: Voyager - Live Fast and Prosper
Star Trek: Voyager - “Live Fast and Prosper” is an episode that I would call part comedy, part absurdity. The episode does have some genuinely comical moments, like when one of the Voyager crew impostors, namely the alien impersonating Tuvok, gets carried away with his role and when the …
M*A*S*H: Post Op
In M*A*S*H: Post Op, the 4077th unit is deluged with casualties. It’s not unusual really, but it reaches a critical point when they run out of blood. This means that each of the personnel has to donate blood every 48 hours. It actually gets so bad …
Lie to Me
I finally got an opportunity to watch the show Lie to Me last night. I’ll confess, coming in on a series in the middle of it, really did create some confusion for me as to who the characters were. But, from what I can tell, the show is definitely …
St. Bear’s Dolls Hospital
St. Bear’s Dolls Hospital is a kid’s show and I first saw it while baby sitting for a relative. It is basically what the name states. It is a hospital for broken toys to come to and get repaired. They seem to have some toys that are regulars on …
Supernatural: The Curious Case of Dean Winchester
The episode follows the two brothers as they investigate the death of a 25 year old man who died of old age. They consult Bobby, who’s shown to be more irritable than usual.

Tales of the Gold Monkey: The Sultan of Swat
I said in my review for this show that the adventure series has lost some of its shine from its first ten episodes or so, and that’s really true. There’s a stretch of a few shows here, all in a row, that are just so-so. This is …
I miss my “Friends”!!!
I know that it was everywhere and I know that people began to find it annoying, but I absolutely love “Friends”!!! I miss it so much. I watched every single episode of every single season in less that 10 days. I just went out and rented Season 6 again! …
M*A*S*H: Dear Ma
One by one, the producers are getting around to everyone having a chance to do a letter home show, and this time around, M*A*S*H: Dear Ma is Radar O’Reilly’s turn to pen a letter to his much beloved mother. Gary Burghoff follows the letter throughout the show. …
John Doe season 1 episode 3 Doe, re, mi
This is really an odd episode. OK, the same idea of this show about a man who doesn’t know anything about himself but knows everything about everything else id odd itself, but it is also kind a interesting because people usually like different stuff. We all have our own …
Roseanne Season Four
The fourth season of Roseanne had its high points, but it also had quite a few low points. This was the season where they introduced Mark’s brother David, which was one of the high points. I really liked this character because he added a nice little twist to the …
Captain Phil Harris
Captain Phil Harris used to run the Cornelia Marie, a crab fishing boat profiled on the Discovery Channel documentary show, “Deadliest Catch”. I love the entire show, but watching Captain Phil is probably my favorite part of the series. Though Captain Phil recently died of stroke complications, …

Hey Arnold (tv series)
When I was a child I loved alternating between cable television channels such as Disney, Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network because at the time they seemed to have some of the best after-school series and cartoons especially at one period of time. One of my favourites in particular was an …
Everybody Loves Raymond
I have liked the show Everybody Loves Raymond since the first day I saw it. Everybody Loves Raymond is a show created by Ray Romano. It’s a really funny show with a great plot line. I also think that Ray’s parents and Robert are very funny. The show is full …
America’s Next Top Model Cycle 10 Episode 8
The girls had a lesson with Paulina Porizkova on how to think on their feet when they are interviewed. Models are always on the limelight about something so this is one thing that the competition should taught the girls. The next day, the girls got a visit from Courtney …

CSI Season 2 Episode 14 The Finger
This is one of my most favourite episodes in the show. It is episodes such as these that make it absolutely fantastic and gets you addicted to it. I loved the plot, it is full of discoveries and twists and is completely unexpected. It was not much about the …
Laramie: Fugitive Road
From season one of Laramie comes Fugitive Road, a terrific tale that really tugs on the heart from the conflict involved. The magic of Laramie is the relationship between the two friends, Jess (Robert Fuller) and Slim (John Smith). These two are as different as night and …
Smallville : Requiem
A lot happened in this episode of Smallville, and some of it will be good for the show, but I don’t know that I cared much for it as a singular episode. In this episode Lana and Clark have gotten together and are destroying beds. Lana has superpowers …
Trinity Blood episode 19
As the time draws its final line, Ion Fortuna can no longer resist his blood lust triggered by Radu’s sinister electromagnetic bullet that awakened Ion’s vamperic instincts to an raging boil. On Episode 9: “A start of an pilgrimage” of the delicious horror Christian series known as Trinity Blood, …
Family Guy: Peter’s Daughter
OK, I have to admit it, the Family Guy episode “Peter’s Daughter” has got to be one of the funniest episodes I’ve seen of any program on television.
There are two major plot points to this episode; both related to a flood that takes place in the opening minutes.
First, you …
Entourage show
I watched a couple of shows, until I finally realized I don’t much like it. In fact, I don’t understand all the hype about this show. It’s shallow, the cast are like two bit actors who’ve never heard of acting workshops, and the storyline isn’t at all fantastic.
This show …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 56: Masquerade
The synopsis for this episode filled me with dread. If there’s one concept in this show more loathed than Slimer, it’s the Junior Ghostbusters and this is the episode that plants the seed for that concept. I was all ready to hate this episode and bash on …
Fast and Furious 4
I am a big fan of the “Fast & Furious” series. It is fully action packed, cool story, and the best thing is that it has fast cars, and I love fast cars, so for that purpose I just love to watch this movie whenever I got time. When …
CHiPs: Pressure Point
Jon and Ponch (Larry Wilcox and Erik Estrada) end up on a special detail in CHiPs: Pressure Point from season two. The story evolves around the wealthy Arthur Forbinger, played with gusting exuberance by Rudy Vallee. Nothing Vallee does is low key, regardless of storyline. He …
American Horror Story: Asylum Episode 1
Though American Horror Story: Asylum is a fairly popular show, I wanted to warn against it. The show is full of sexual content, and violence. After watching the first episode it is clear that the show relies more on shock value than storyline or suspense building techniques. Think more …
Vampire High Season 1 Episode 6
In this episode, Merrill is fed up and ready to leave the school and ends up sending out a call to her maker, Patsy.
Patsy shows up with this wild, take charge attitude and is determined to take Merrill away back to her old life, which is unclear because it …

Royal Pains, on USA network, is the surprisingly entertaining and heartwarming story of a young doctor who - due to a political mistake - was fired from his job at a top hospital. He finds himself in the Hamptons where he sort of falls into the job of …
House: Joy to the World
Wow, can the show House have one season where you don’t have two new doctors managing to hook up with each other? Now it’s Foreman and Thirteen? Not that I’m surprised or anything considering they’ve been spending a lot of time together. But, he’s running the drug trial she’s …
Code Geass Episode 4 (Anime)
Code Geass Episode 4 has Lelouch trying to stop the false trial of Suzaku who is innocent but the Brittanians have already decided he’s guilty.

Star Trek: The Corbomite Maneuver TV Show
Star Trek: The Corbomite Maneuver is one of my all time favorite Star Trek episodes of any of the series. It’s the essence of what Star Trek, and space exploration, is all about. That’s why it’s so wonderful.
Though this show aired in November of its first season …
That Girl: There’s Nothing to Be Afreud of But Freud Himself
That Girl: There’s Nothing to Be Afreud of But Freud Himself is one of those shows that I’m not so crazy about. Not every episode can be a winner, and while there is plenty to laugh about, this ink blot joke just doesn’t quite capture my funny bone …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Man-Beast TV Show
From February 1968, the 20th show of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea’s last season (it’s fourth) on television, Man-Beast, aired. It’s a show I have mixed feelings about because of the story’s plot. The primary guest star was Lawrence Montaigne, who played a scientist named …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Sanctuary TV Show
I love the opening of The Sanctuary, which is the 33rd episode of the sixth and final season of Have Gun - Will Travel. There’s a rather smug man named Captain Zimmerman who is playing a round of chess with several men at the same time. He’s …
Spongebob: Blackened Sponge
As I mentioned in another review today, I am watching Spongebob Squarepants with my daughter today and came across another episode of the show I thought was really funny, the one entitled Blackened Sponge.
Basically, in this episode, Spongebob is brushing his teeth and, in an effort to remove the …
Good Eats Show
Perhaps it is the crazy entertaining ways of the host Alton Brown, or perhaps it’s my desire to be educated in the ways of the kitchen; but I thoroughly enjoy the show Good Eats. It airs on the Food Network a few times a day- each episode features a …
Aqua Team Hunger Force
You wouldn’t think watching a cartoon with a talking milkshake, meatball, and box of fries would be all that entertaining, but it is. Aqua Team Hunger Force is one of my favorite shows during the Adult Swim programming on cartoon Network.
This is a fabulous program for adults, and only …
The Legend of Zelda
One of my best memories of growing up was coming home every Friday afternoon and watching Zelda the cartoon. Wow I just loved this show so much. I think this is my favorite video game TV series ever. Link was so funny and cool in the show. And all the …
The Golden Girls TV Show
My Mother used to love this show so much, as do I.
There are four woman who live together, along with the elderly Mother of one of them.
the ladies. Her name is Sophia.
She is a cranky old soul, always wanting to be independant, beyond her means and very abrasive the …
Dr. Phil Show
Dr. Phil Show
I must warn you, this show is truly addictive. It might solve your problems, but it might turn you into a hopeless couch potato who prefers to sit down all day and solve life’s problems instead of causing the usual trouble.
In this show Dr. Philip McGraw is …
Bones television show
The television show Bones has a new take on crime drama.
At first I wasn’t too interested in the show. I had thought there were already many crime drama series around and Bones was just another one. Also the premise of discovering who committed a crime by examining …
Law & Order SVU TV Episodes: Counterfeit
Synopsis: The SVU detectives have to prove a cop is responsible for a rape/murder of a pharmaceutical lab assistant.
What I liked about this episode: I think one of the cool things about this episode is how it manages to jerk you in a number of different directions with a …

M*A*S*H: Who Knew? has Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) confronting his own defense mechanisms and playboy mentality. It all happens because a nurse he’d dated a couple of times dies. It was shortly after their date had ended, and she went out for a walk. Wandering off …
Adam-12: The Princess and the Pig
I have conflicting emotions over Adam-12: The Princess and the Pig, a season four episode from this half-hour police drama, courtesy of Jack Webb. The reason for the conflict is that Officer Jim Reed (Kent McCord) ends up going undercover. It’s just another sign of how he …
Cover Her Face - Part 2
In Part 2 of Cover Her Face, the 1985 multi-part adaptation of the P.D. James novel, the murder of Stavros Veludis is still being investigated.
The heavy concentration of the story, though, focuses on a beautiful young woman named Sally Jupp. She’s annoying as can be, but quite honestly, …
