The X-Files Gender Bender Episode
This was one of my favorite episodes of the popular nineteen nineties television series “The X-Files”. This was because this one explored the whole issue of gender bending which was still fairly new in terms of having operations to convert into either a male or female in nineteen ninety …
That Girl: A Muggy Day in Central Park
That Girl: A Muggy Day in Central Park from season three is pretty funny, and it features Ted Bessell in a dress. Now that was a get up! There is a logical explanation, especially when you remember that this show aired on network television in 1968.
In this …
Stargate SG1: The Other Side
“The Other Side” is definitely one of the Stargate SG1 episodes that really makes you think. It is also one that shows the big difference between Daniel’s priorities and those of the rest of the team.
When Alar, the leader of Uronda, gets in touch with the SGC and …

That 70s Show: Fez dates Donna
I happened to turn on a re-run of That 70s Show this afternoon; Fez Dates Donna and found it was absolutely hillarious.
This episode had Fez pretending to be Donna’s girlfriend to avoid some former girlfriend who is stalking him. During that time, you have Eric feeling jealous and going …

Hawaii Five-O - The First Season DVD set
The first season of Hawaii Five-O is offered in slim pack cases, with two disks in each jacket, except for the last one. That’s a total of seven disks. Now I have some concerns about these slim packs because there are some that can actually damage DVDs …
Trigun Episode 16
Trigun Episode 16 has Vash the Stampede travelling to Augusta City looking for Legato, who wants him to fight. There he encounters E.G. Mine, one of the Gung Ho Guns and things change forever as history starts to repeat itself.

The Two Coreys: Episode 1.8 - Fly Away Haim
In the finale of the first season, Haim makes Joanne (wow, she’s back!) breakfast and screws up the kitchen in the process. What a lovely surprise this is for Susie and Feldman when they discover it that way. However, looks like the breakfast was all for nothing as Joanne …
Highway Patrol: Convicted Innocent TV Show
From Highway Patrol’s third season, Convicted Innocent was the 11th show to air and it did so in December 1957. Broderick Crawford starred as Chief Dan Mathews, the head of the California Highway Patrol. In this show, we also were able to see three different patrolmen, all …
Seven days show
Time travel always sounded so great to me. I actually have just one thing in my life that I would like to change and I know I wouldn’t have to do much to change it, just to go back in time to a certain point in my life and …
Criminal Minds —“ Season One —“ Episode Eleven —“ Blood Hungry
I almost thought this episode was about someone who thought he was a vampire. But someone was breaking into places and hacking people up with tools and then taking internal organs from the victims. Later, the team discovered that whoever was doing it, was actually drinking the blood as …
Mr. Monk and the Other Woman
This morning was the first time I’ve seen the Monk episode “Mr. Monk and the Other Woman.” I’m not sure when it was made, but I’m guessing it was sometime in the first season because the police seem like they don’t want his help yet.
Overall, it was a pretty …
CSI New York Season 3 Episode 12- Silent Night
It wasn’t one of the best episodes on the show. The themes were quite sad, but not every interesting. The show tells two stories.
In the first story, in a house is the suburbs. The whole family is death. A woman goes to check up on her little baby before …
Castle Season 4 Episode 6 (TV show)
This was another great episode of the TV show Castle themed for Halloween. It wasn’t scary, it was more like a murder mystery. It was more snappy and witty than usual and I was laughing for the most part.
In this episode the police department encounters the world of the …
Home Improvement: Satellite on a Hot Tim’s Roof
I came home for lunch today and the Home Improvement episode “Satellite on a Hot Tim’s Roof” was on. And, it is great.
There are two storylines going on in this episode and the writers managed to pull off both without taking away from either of them.
First, Tim gets a new …

Wife Swap
I like watching Wife Swap because it gives me a look into other people’s homes! I admit it, I’m nosy! And Wife Swap allows me to peek into the living rooms of other Americans, PLUS I get to watch what happens when they let a total stranger …
Law and Order: CI Season 1, Episode 16
If you watch this episode now, it’s hard to miss the guest star as he later turned up as one of the main characters on “Lost”, the television show. The episode picks up with a man asking about his ex-girlfriend, a woman that he seems to be infatuated with, …
King Of Queens
King of Queens is only shown in reruns now and I’m thankful that it is. I was working too much during the original run of the series to get to watch it all but now I watch it faithfully Monday through Friday at 5 and 5:30pm and at 7 …
Fireball XL5: XL5 to H20
One of the best parts of Fireball XL5: XL5 to H20 was a really funny scene with Professor Matt Matic. He was doing one of his experiments when everything exploded. He looks like he’s been right in the middle of it, too. Naturally, no one is hurt, …
M*A*S*H: Der Tag
Most of M*A*S*H: Der Tag is focused on Frank Burns (Larry Linville) flipping out because his lover, Margaret Houlihan (Loretta Swit) is in Tokyo. Even worse, she’s talking about some male physical therapist’s with some lust in her voice. It’s enough to send Frank over the edge, …
Justice League Unlimited Season One: Flashpoint
“Flashpoint” is the 23rd episode of season one of Justice League Unlimited. This is easily one of the best episodes of the season, even without a big knockdown dragout fight between the heroes and any supervillian. The episode is so great because it starts the beginning of …
The Apprentice: Pedicab Confessions TV Show
At the beginning The Apprentice: Pedicab Confessions, Stephanie met with the Rockport CEO. She was the winning project manager from the last task. The thing that struck me is that Rockport is really backing this reality show this season. They were the focus of one task …
The Twilight Zone: Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up? TV Show
In my book, The Twilight Zone: Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up? just might be the best of all the episodes from this series. It’s definitely in the top five. There’s no doubt about that.
I absolutely love this program wherein two officers investigate the report of …
The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 12: Aubrey
You know, I was enjoying this episode quite a bit for a while. The mystery was intriguing, Terry O’Quinn was fun to watch. While this was pre-John Locke, I’ll always identify him as that character from this point on; it’s just how my brain works. There …
Sea Hunt: Operation Greenback TV Show
Sea Hunt: Operation Greenback was an interesting show. I actually kept wondering if it was done a bit like MacGyver which always kept something back when explaining how to make something that could be dangerous. In this episode, Mike Nelson, the expert deep sea diver played by …
Ice Road Truckers: Convoy to Hell
Ice Road Truckers: Convoy to Hell was a bit on the calm side, which is unusual for this reality series which airs weekly on the History Channel. Usually, the show has plenty of spice, but for whatever reason, the action seemed a bit tame. Then again, sometimes …
Emergency! Zero
I haven’t seen any episodes of the old television show Emergency in some time now. But, we had dinner at my parents’ last night and my dad was watching it so I ended up watching one with him; “Zero.”
This episode turned out to be halfway interesting. You have a …
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 …
Alias Smith and Jones: The Man Who Murdered Himself
Sadly, Alias Smith and Jones: The Man Who Murdered Himself is another show were Hannibal Heyes goes one way and Kid Curry another. It’s all to earn some money, but aside from the opening and the ending, the two partners are on separate track in this first season …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Fear-Makers TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Fear-Makers, the third episode of the science fiction series, begins with an experiment that goes awry, costing lives and the destruction of another sub that Admiral Nelson (Richard Basehart) had built. It’s all about how far down the subs can …
Spongebob Squarepants
I am no fan of cartoons, really. I thought that cartoons are all for kids and that I won’t learn anything out of it. It was simply slapstick made to make the kids laugh. I wanted to watch informational shows or any other shows that can show not only …
Fireball XL5: Convict in Space
Fireball XL5: Convict in Space takes us back to the Space Pen that we met previously. I get a kick out of this version of prison. It’s such a huge exaggeration of what mobsters in jail would be like. There’s no reality here, but there are some …
Star Trek: The Enemy Within TV Show
William Shatner gets to have some acting fun in Star Trek: The Enemy Within, portraying Kirk in two different ways. The events surround a transporter malfunction that caused Captain Kirk to turn into two people. Actually, what it does is take his stronger self and makes it …
Full Metal Alchemist
Full Metal Alchemist is a anime series that is one of the best shows I have seen. Don’t judge the series by its title, because when I first heard of it, I was wondering if it was good because of the title.
I have come to the conclusion that it …
CNN International
CNN International is probably the World’s most popular news channel. Wherever you travel, you can generally receive this channel in hotels, and wherever you live you can probably get this channel at home.
In my opinion CNN has some very good aspects, but in some areas it is very …
Family Feud
I haven’t seen the game show Family Feud in ages so, when I watched it last night, I wasn’t sure if I was watching a brand new episode or a repeat.
In any case, it turned out to be an entertaining way to spend a half hour.
The game itself was …
House: Acceptance
House is the perfect character to draw out the personality in others that is what makes the show House so interesting. As a medical drama it is ok, but not really any better than the others, and as a mystery show it doesn’t work because unless you’ve went to …
That Girl: The Defiant One
While shopping, Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) befriends an eight-year-old black boy named David (George Spell) who steals a candy bar. Though the boy initially tells her he lives on Park Avenue, Ann scoffs at it, so he invents a story about living in a one-bedroom apartment filled with …
Zoobilee Zoo
Even though I was born in the late nineteen eighties, the television show Zoobilee Zoo would still air on a local television channel when I was little in the early nineties. Thus, I would watch it when I was still in kindergarten or possibly when I was a little …
MacGyver: Jack in the Box
There’s no Nikki, but Jack Dalton is back in this third season episode of MacGyver called Jack in the Box, and once again he lures Mac into helping him by making a phone call where he pretends to be beaten up. About the only joy I get from …

South Park is often known for its irreverent humor. The newest episode, and the last new one of the decade, has the boys going to a water park.
After Butters pees in the pool, Kyle comes to the shocking realization that almost everybody does. No one …
Stargate Atlantis: The Daedalus Variations
Stargate Atlantis: The Daedalus Variations begins with the always insecure Rodney McKay (David Hewlett) grousing about Teyla keeping her baby from him. It’s an insane conversation that includes a tidbit about McKay having been dropped when he was an infant. I’m with Sheppard — it explains a …
MASH -Season 1
Season one of MASH was and OK season by the standards of the show. The first episodes, starting with the Pilot attempted to keep the characters similar to what was in the movie but, by the end of the first season, many of the extra characters (like Ugly John) …
The X-Files: Audrey Pauley
The lacklustre final season delivers a pretty decent episode with this, for the most part a Reyes centric tale that offers up an original enough idea and some solid character development for both Reyes and Doggett.
After a pleasant evening with Doggett, Reyes begins her drive home but is …
Emergency!: Weird Wednesday
Emergency!: Weird Wednesday is all about having one of those crazy days when nothing but odd things happen. It begins for Johnny and Roy with a woman parachutist who gets stuck in a tree. She’s undaunted by it all, though, and ready to go right back at …
