My Gym Partner’s a Monkey cartoon
I’m typically open-minded when it comes to the cartoons my daughter watches. Most on television have something objectionable but she’s smart enough not to copy what she sees and I do my part to make sure she understands right from wrong.
The cartoon “My Gym Partner’s A Monkey,” which appears …
Law & Order SVU: Perverted
Last night’s episode of Law & Order SVU was one that I think was kind of weak compared to what it could have been.
The episode “perverted” had Olivia being accused of murder; not only because her business card was found on the victim but because her DNA was found …
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 …
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 …
Nighty Night show
Imagine if you found out your better half was dying of a terminal illness. A revelation like that is bound to do all manner of things to your mind, but you probably wouldn’t react like Jill Tyrell, the monstrous but somehow lovable lead of this terrific comedy. After finding …
Family Guy - Road to Multiverse
When I first saw this episode, I thought it would be like all of the other Road to—¦ Family Guy episodes. Just Brian and Stewie running around, nothing with much meaning or humor involved in it. I loved this one. Because Brian …
Cowboy Bebop Episode 11
Cowboy Bebop Episode 11 begins with the crew of the Bebop travelling through space while waiting for there to be more news on bounties. Jet finds an old fridge in the corner and then members of the crew start getting sick for some strange reason.
This episode was …

The Jeffersons (TV Show) - The Visitors (Episode)
“The Visitors” is an episode of “The Jeffersons”. In this episode, the audience gets to meet both Florence’s mother and father. First, Florence’s mother shows up at the Jeffersons’ apartment, much to the surprise of everyone, including Florence, but another surprise soon hits, and it’s one that shocks Florence …
The Two Coreys: Episode 1.2 - Lost Boys
While Corey Haim is busy promoting the 20th anniversary of the film that launched them to stardom, “The Lost Boys”, Feldman would rather concentrate on his wife’s photo shoot with Stuff Magazine. It’s a very messed up and embarrassing situation where Haim shows up alone at a radio interview …
Futurama TV Episode: Mars University
I once again sat down to watch an episode of Futurama with my oldest daughter last night. And, since it was the next one on the DVD, we ended up watching the season 1 episode entitled “Mars University.”
This one was an OK episode but not an overly great one. …
The Good Wife: Breaking Fast TV Show
The Good Wife: Breaking Fast gave viewers a little change of pace in a way, and I liked it. For the first time, we got to see some of Alicia Florrick’s family, namely her brother, Owen. Owen’s presence opened up a lot of possibilities and brought some …
Inside Eventing: The Ultimate Horse Sport
Inside Eventing takes a long look at behind the scenes of eventing in the horse world. The shows centers around David and Karen O�Connor�s farm and their students who aspire to be Olympian riders. I watched the first episode on RFD TV, and was very impressed. Eventing is an …
Psych TV Episode: Sixty Five Million Years Off
Synopsis: Shawn and Gus investigate the murder of a paleontologist who appears to have been killed by a dinosaur bite.
What I liked about this episode: This is a classic episode that shows what made this series great and will make you miss the good old days if you see …
The Soup show
I’m not the type to sit down and watch anything news related television. After 12 months of watching CNN day in and day out, I thought I was done with the news forever (regardless of the news issue to my life or not). Somehow, this one show …
A Man Called Hawk: The Master’s Mirror
From 1989, A Man Called Hawk starring Avery Brooks debuted on ABC. Brooks was recreating his colorful character of Hawk from the hit series, Spenser for Hire. For some reason, Hawk has returned to his Washington D.C. and that’s where the action takes place.
To be up front, …
Dawson’s Creek Season One
I have watched Season One of Dawson’s Creek and am on the second epi of Season Two. I don’t know why I’m writing this review because I almost have no opinion; I’m not sucked into the show yet like I feel I should be. The writing is good, the …
Trintiy Blood episode 15
The Night Lords arc is the longest arc on Trinity Blood. Period. There has been no other arc yet that holds the viewer in awe, fear, and horror is such a contemptible light, as such I have not seen before. This is Trinity Blood episode 15: “The Night Lords …
Max Headroom: Whackets TV show
I have to say up front that when I see the name of this Max Headroom episode — Whackets — my mind goes to a classic musical called How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. In that movie, they are talking about widgets, and to me, whackets …
I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here - Episode 1
The first thing I learned about I’ma Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here is that Spenser Pratt and Heidi Pratt are big jokes, and I feel sorry for their fans. I realize The Hills is a huge reality program, but these two are jerks; they’re worse than …
House tv show
This show is based around Dr Gregory House played by Hugh Laurie. House is a brilliant diagnosition but hates dealing with patients. He gets the cases that no-one can explain and has his own crack team of Dr Chase (Jesse Spencer), Dr Cameron (Jennifer Morrison) …
Psych TV Episode: Gus’ Dad May have Killed an Old Guy
I’m not exactly sure what I was doing during the second season of Psych. But, apparently there were quite a few episodes that season that I missed because I was seeing them for the first time during a marathon on Saturday.
One of them, Gus’ Dad May have Killed and …
Metalocalypse TV show
Metalocalypse is a new 15-minute cartoon on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim lineup, and I just finished watching the premiere episode of this show. Overall, I’m left with mixed feelings.
The show focuses on a death metal band named Dethklok. In the first episode, they first throw a concert in …
Shark Week: Bull Sharks: The Deadliest Shark
Shark Week on Discovery is a recurring series that usually runs in August of every year. It features a number of programs on different types of sharks. This episode discusses the bull shark, which scientists say is in fact the most dangerous shark to people.
I was surprised at the …
The X-Files: Season 1, Episode 12: Fire
This episode pits the two agents against a homicidal pyrokinetic. It’s pretty straight forward, a trait which acts in the episode’s favor, but also to its detriment as well. While the fact that it’s a regular monster of the week isn’t negative in and of itself, the …
Face Off Syfy Television Show
Amongst the waves of reality television shows that flock the ‘prime time’ television hours, Face Off is by far, or was, the most interesting of the bunch. With the large amount of talent-based shows including the X-factor, American Idol, and America’s Got Talent, playing on T.V.’s across America, singers …
Gareth Malone Goes to Glyndebourne: Part 2 TV Show
Gareth Malone Goes to Glyndebourne: Part 2 continues to show the choir master’s latest challenge which is to put together a teenage choir to perform an opera on stage. He has six weeks. I haven’t seen part 1 yet, but apparently, he screened 450 students and brought …
M*A*S*H: Depressing News
M*A*S*H: Depressing News is a very good episode that is also thought provoking at points. The setup begins when a truckload of 500,000 tongue depressors when they’d only ordered 5,000. It’s an obvious error, but it’s one that strikes a chord inside of Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda). …
The Forgotten - Diamond Jane
In this second series of this new ABC drama which stars Christian Slater, I find myself more into the story of the dead body than I was the regular characters who make up what is called The Forgotten Network. This network helps the police to identify dead bodies …
The Simpsons Season 8
The Simpsons Season 8 is one of the great seasons of the animated show because it contains several episodes that fans regard as classics. However it also contains episodes that are just as good, but aren’t talked about very often. Personally I love the episode where Bart is finally …
Black Gold: S3, Ep 7 TV Show
In this 7th show from Black Gold’s third season, the action is more political than black oil. It begins with tool pusher Jerry being hired for the supervisor position, something that the other tool pusher on Big Dog Rig 28 isn’t happy about. He gets hard on …
Sailor Moon Season 1 Episode 1
Sailormoon Season One
Episode 1: A Moon Star is Born
In this episode, we’re given the back story about a moon kingdom that was attacked by the NegaVerse and it was defeated. Queen Serenity of the moon kingdom had no choice but to send the survivors of the kingdom to earth, …
Wagon Train: The Last Circle Up
This episode of Wagon Train, The Last Circle Up, which is the final episode of the seventh season, is actually a bit ironic, considering what happens for the eighth and concluding season for this western series. The story is all about whether or not Chris Hale’s crew would …
The Rachel Zoe Project: Zoe vs. Zoe TV Show
In The Rachel Zoe Project: Zoe vs. Zoe, the baby battle continues, and it may just be heating up to a point of no return. At issue between successful fashion stylist Rachel Zoe and her husband and president of her company, Rodger, is their personal life (or lack …
The Clone Wars: Lair of Grievous
The best part about this episode of “The Clone Wars” was that most of the regular cast wasn’t in it. It’s not that I don’t like the regular cast of characters, it’s just that I know what happens to most of them. Now that is generally true of most …
The Twilight Zone: Probe 7, Over and Out TV Show
I have one word for The Twilight Zone: Probe 7, Over and Out, and the word is: rerun. If you want a phrase, it would be: been there, done that. While the story elements are different, this is a re-do of an earlier story called Two with …
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Ned Zed
This is a cute idea and a neat way to tell a story that wouldn’t work with the current storyline. It’s like someone had an idea for the Brisco character, but wanted it set in an earlier timeline of the series. To make that work, they added …
The Parkers TV show
I think The Parkers is an OK TV show. Sometimes they show was funny, but I was annoyed by it at times. I really think this show was not written very well. The main plot of the show was Monique the fat woman trying to hook up with the professor. …
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 22 (Anime)
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 22 has Aramaki arrest the DEA Head while investigating the supposed reappearance of his brother while the government moves against Section 9 after they are exposed and go after the Major.
This episode was really well done. The plot was good …
A Flintstone’s Christmas
For me, there’s nothing like good, old fashioned holiday fun, and last night I had a nice dose of that with the animated classic, A Flintstone’s Christmas. I actually don’t recall seeing this before, so it felt very new to me. I love the Flintstones, of course, …
Stargate SG-1: Family Ties
Stargate SG-1: Family Ties is not really my style. It opens with Sam and Vala returning from a shopping trip, the two all decked out and drawing attention as they walk down the corridors of the SGC. I guess they wanted to show these two are friends. …
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 …
Fargo (crime drama series)
After Breaking Bad, it was a little hard to find another crime drama that I thought would measure up to its suspense and success. However, after someone I knew recommended the series Fargo, I realised that I just had to try it. I had to know why so many people …
The Big C (tv series)
“The Big C” was one of those few television series that I was fortunate enough to start watching when it first premiered on television back when I still had Showtime. It was a bit unusual in comparison to the television series I would tend to watch especially at that …
Serial Experiments Lain Episode 2: Girls
Whoa, just whoa. This show is rather creepy. It made sense this time around, and there was plot rather than randomness.
Lain is still trying to figure out the deal with the emails. The other girls in her class try to draw her out of …
Gargoyles Episode 2.5 The Mirror
Keith David has an awesome voice, there is no disputing this. Even so, I prefer the theme song before they added his voiceover speech. It’s not bad, but I think it worked fine as a solely instrumental piece.
This episode brings in Puck, who’s summoned by Demona to …
Whoopi: Don’t Hide Love TV Show
In the course of her 2003-2004 situation comedy TV series, Whoopi Goldberg tackled so many topics of the day. It’s amazing what she managed to work into the humorous plot of the week. What I’ve noticed is that the political shows actually have the most laughing out …
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 …
Family Guy TV Episode: Ready, Willing and Disabled
As is usually the case, there was a re-run of Family Guy on last night after my re-run of the Simpsons and it happened to be one I have seen parts of before but have never watched completely; Ready, Willing and Disabled. After watching it, I don’t think it …
Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: Challenge TV Show
I liked a few things about Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: Challenge, starring David Carradine as Kwai Chang Caine and Chris Potter as his son, Peter Caine, who is now a police detective. It’s the father and son relationship and the journey that evolves from the first to …
