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 …
Highway Patrol: Plant Robbery TV Show
Highway Patrol: Plant Robbery is not a story I like to watch really. By happenstance, I’ve seen it a couple of times, and neither viewing was all that pleasurable, simply because there’s no one in the story I like. In other words, none of the characters really …

Modern Marvels from History Channel
Modern Marvels is a great show brought to the viewing public by the History channel.
I like being able to tun this program on and then learn about some of the structures and how they were built. Everything from collapsed and fixed bridges to antenna towers to bullet trains …
Star Trek’s Favorite Moments featurette
I love the Star Trek’s Favorite Moments featurette which allows us to get a look at some of the Trek performers and what it is that attracted them to this science fiction series. Michael Dorn, Ethan Phillips, and Tim Russ all spoke about how they watched Star Trek …
The Simpsons: The Parent Rap
Last night was probably the third time I’ve seen the Simpson’s episode “The Parent Rap” and it is funnier each and every time.
The episode is essentially a spoof of our legal system and judges who spend their time thinking up creative punishments to get in the news than actually …

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: School Hard
While the Buffy the Vampire episode School Hard isn’t the best episode I’ve seen of the series, I think it ends up being one of the more important ones for anyone who intends on watching the series from beginning to end because it seems to be setting up several …
MTV’s Engaged and Underage
I’ve recently been watching Engaged and Underage on MTV. On the show they profile a new couple each week that has gotten engaged, and is currently under the normal age for getting married. I’m not exactly sure what the actual “normal” age is for getting married.
Some of the kids …

Final Destination
While you can’t call Final Destination a classic horror, when it first arrived on our screens it provided us with a relatively fresh and engaging concept that broke a repetitive streak in teen horror and now, three sequels later, probably stands as the best of the series.
It’s a high …
Emperor’s New School: Room for Improvement
One of the ongoing jokes in the first season of the Emperor’s New School is how he had to share the attic with Pacha’s kids while being forced to live as a peasant. So, the episode, Room for Improvement, is quick to get rid of that joke by simply …
True Blood 3.4 “9 Crimes”
If the previous episodes of the newest True Blood season have been uneven, the latest, 3.4 “Nine Crimes” is quite simply disappointing. I can’t say if this is due to source material or simply creative difficulties on the writers’ part, but the pacing is all over the place, the …
Stargate SG-1: Revisions
I love Stargate SG-1: Revisions. It’s one of my favorites, and I really can’t tell you why, except I get a kick out of it. I love the little town where they filmed the show; it was so cute and quaint.
Actually, what I see Stargate SG-1: Revisions, …
Yo Gabba Gabba
The first time I saw the children’s show Yo Gabba Gabba, I thought wow, a weird looking man wearing an orange wig and playing with dolls; how creepy is that. ‘ But, after giving it a chance, I have to say it isn’t a bad show.
Not that I watch …
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: Kirk Douglas TV Show
The great Kirk Douglas was the honoree who was roasted on this edition of The Dean Martin Comedy Hour. I like to see performers of his caliber in the hot seat. Usually someone like Douglas means more appropriate people on the dais, though not always.
One of my …
The Prisoner: The Schizoid Man
The Prisoner: The Schizoid Man has an interesting premise. Patrick McGoohan’s Number Six character wakes up to discover he is now Number Twelve, complete with a mustache (which doesn’t suit him at all, I might add). This is followed by the news that he’s supposed to switch …

“Inside Man” is a season seven episode of “Star Trek: Voyager” that I like a little, but that is about it. What I like about this episode is that two characters from “Star Trek: The Next Generation” appear: Lt. Barclay and Counselor Troi appear and deliver entertaining moments, especially …
CHiPs: High Flyer
Sadly, the powers that be behind television series often don’t pay attention to their own show’s history. Continuity often has gone into the toilet, so to speak. In CHiPs: High Flyer, we get another example of just how bad it can get when no one cares to …

Around the World in Two Days

For the most part, I think this episode proved …
The X-Files Grotesque Episode

Anime: Shakugan no Shana, Season One
