Caprica (TV)
Recently a new television series named “Caprica” has been advertising to be aired on the cable television channel Syfy. I saw it advertise on several cable television channels before I finally decided to watch it too, since when it was advertising I guess I got the wrong impression, and …

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Where the Wild Things Are
I’ve seen some confusing episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer before. But, “Where the Wild Things Are” is definitely one that ended up being one of the most confusing.
OK, first of all, when did the show go from being a series about a girl who fights demons to a …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 14: Knock, Knock
Man, I wanted to like this episode more than I did. It wasn’t bad per se, but it had everything going for it, yet the end result was still only passable. Straczynski was writing it, it centered on an ancient world threatening evil, and Slimer had only …
Family Guy: Peter, Peter, Caviar Eater
As one of the earlier episodes of Family Guy, “Peter, Peter, Caviar Eater” is among the more funny ones. It has a decent build up, and while the plot is not as out there as later episodes, its decent writing saves the day.
Lois’ aunt dies, and the family inherits …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Unforgiving Minute TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Unforgiving Minute, episode 20 of season six of the Richard Boone western series, does not have my beloved introduction that takes place in San Francisco. I’m not sure how many shows in this year were without them, but from what I’ve seen in …
The Office: Moroccan Christmas
“Moroccan Christmas” is the episode of The Office airing on NBC on December 11, 2008. This episode was not nearly as entertaining as past Christmas episodes and was actually depressing as it focused on alcoholism and affairs.
The start of the show was the best part, with …
Kathy Griffin My life on the D list
Kathy Griffin My life on the D list is a show featured on the cable station Bravo. While there are so many reality shows on Tv,for some reason this one is refreshing as it has many minutes of stand up which is what she does. It is …
Anthology for Rania
A few weeks back, I have finished watching the local-drama TV serial titled, Anthology for Rania. It is a very deep and moving story, though I wish that the ending would be more realistically approached and enhanced.
The story is about this teenage girl known as Rania, whom comes from …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Man Who Lost TV Show
From season two, The Man Who Lost was the 31st episode of the year. Can you imagine that? The 31st, and it wasn’t the last one! The series was Have Gun - Will Travel, starring Richard Boone as the intellectual gunfighter for hire, Paladin. Whatever …
Reba show
Although Reba ended in 2005, you can still catch reruns on the Country music television station, and you can buy the DVDs at many stores, so this show is still easy to catch.
I used to watch it when I knew it was on. It wasn’t a show that I …

Star Trek: The Deadly Years TV Show
Star Trek: The Deadly Years is another one of my favorite shows. The reason is that I love those dramatic moments of loyalty and belief. There is nothing quite like seeing the reaction of the bridge crew when James T. Kirk sets foot on the bridge. …
Dancing with the Stars - 9-23-09
Dancing with the Stars on September 23, 2009 was the first results show of the year, and it was full of special performances. Of course, there was the mystery of who would be kicked off the show, but in the end, it really wasn’t all that much of …
The Office: Did I Stutter
Stanly is rarely given much to do on The Office. In many episodes he seems to only be there so Michal can be racially insensitive, but the actor is very funny and it’s good to see an episode where he has more to do.
In this episode, Stanly disrespects Michal …
The Million Pound Drop - TV SHow - Channel 4
The Million Pound Drop, hosted by Davina McCall on Channel 4. With Big Brother ending there was clearly a need to utilise her presenting ability elsewhere as she is quite a draw and to be fair, I think someone has had a master stroke with this idea.
The quiz shows …
Penny Dreadful (2014 supernatural horror television series)
I’m someone who has always been fascinated with supernatural movies and series, so as soon as I heard about the Showtime original series Penny Dreadful, I could tell that it would be something I might be interested in watching. The clips that I’d seen of it only made me even …
The Twilight Zone: The Invaders TV Show
I’m not big on silent movies, and that’s probably why I’m not a fan of The Twilight Zone: The Invaders and never have been. The only dialog in the entire episode is the spoken narration at the beginning and the end by host, Rod Serling, plus a …

CHiPs: Cry Wolf
The opening teaser in CHiPs: Cry Wolf is memorable and funny, not for the actual plot, but because they show stock footage of Station 51 from Emergency! responding. Then when we get to the scene and it’s a different engine and squad and it’s now numbered ‘519′. …
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 2.1: Samson and Delilah

M*A*S*H: That’s Show Biz
The first episode from season 10, M*A*S*H: That’s Show Biz, is a very pleasant and fun show to watch. It’s more focused on a positive tone, and it’s a great way to start off a new year of shows, especially since season nine ended with somewhat of a …
House TV Episode: Occam’s Razor
I was watching some re-runs of House this past weekend and happened to catch a season 1 episode called Occam’s Razor.
This episode reminds me exactly why my wife and I began watching this show to begin with. House has a patient brought into him that is dying and, after …
M*A*S*H: The Smell of Music
M*A*S*H: The Smell of Music is a story of a war within a war. It has little to do with the Korean War that is the stage for this wartime comedy, but rather it’s about a battle of wills between Swamp-mates Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda), B.J. Hunnicutt (Mike …
The Real Housewives of New York
This wasn’t the first Real Housewives series that I started watching, but so far it is the only series that I have seen every episode of. The UK TV channel ITV2 has shown the whole series back to back from Mondays - Fridays an episode a day, so I …

The Andy Griffith Show: Guest of Honor TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Guest of Honor isn’t one of my favorites. I love this series greatly, but even when funny, not every show is one that I adore. This second season entry has Mayberry celebrating Founders’ Day by randomly selecting a passerby to be their Guest …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Crowbait TV Show

Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Chase
Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Chase is an episode from the sixth season that is really very fast-paced. It does not slow down for much, as the title suggests! In this episode, Picard’s archaeology professor comes on board and invites him along on an exciting journey, but …
Cold Case - Volunteers show
I don’t get many opportunities to watch the show Cold Case. But, i took part of the day off to take my daughter to the fair (which was ruined by the rain) and ended up watching a re-run of it today “Volunteers.” It was pretty decent.
The show starts out …
