Diagnosis Murder: Murder by the Book TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: Murder by the Book revolved around a new book that was written in part by an old friend of the Sloans. To Mark’s shock, the book isn’t about recipes but sex stories. That results in some funny moments, but the real story is about the …
M*A*S*H: Back Pay
M*A*S*H: Back Pay focuses on Hawkeye Pierce’s (Alan Alda) quest to get paid for his services. He begins by preparing an itemized bill and then sends the charges to the government. It is a pretty funny bit, but the problem is that it really wasn’t a half-hour’s …
Drew Carey Show
I love to watch the Drew Carey Show. I think this is one of the best and funniest TV shows I have ever seen. Drew Carey is just such a funny guy and he makes me laugh. I think the whole story about Drew and his friends drinking beer and …
Grey’s Anatomy Season 6 Episode 16
After watching a bunch of not so great episodes of Grey’s it was nice to see one that had a good vibe to it. Funny, light hearted and warm and this was that episode, well up until the end anyway where it got sad.
What was cool about this …
Nip/Tuck
I love Nip/Tuck, the plastic surgery-based drama series on FX network, and am actually quite sad to see it go off the air. Ever since I started watching the show in 2006, I’ve been hooked on the weekly dose of sex, scandel and surgeries presented in such life-like …
The Dick Van Dyke Show (TV Show) - The Bad Old Days (Episode)
“The Bad Old Days” is an episode of “The Dick Van Dyke Show”. This isn’t an episode that’s high up on my list of favorites from the first season or any of the five seasons. It’s not unwatchable, but it’s not one that I enjoyed excessively on my first …
The Prisoner: Once Upon a Time
The Prisoner: Once Upon a Time is the second to the last episode of The Prisoner series. There were only 17 filmed. My understanding is that it was one of the most expensive shows to produce. I have no idea what its ratings were like and …
Doctor Who: Season 3, Episode 14: Last of the Time Lords
The three part finale comes to an end. Things look grim, and they haven’t gotten better in the year that passed since the Master took control, but Martha is still out there, fighting the good fight.
This episode couldn’t seem to find its tone. Again, the Master comes …
A-Team TV Episode: Beneath the Surface
The other night, before bed, I ended up coming across an A-Team re-run that I didn’t intend on watching at first but ended up being somewhat interesting; Beneath the Surface.
What got my attention on this one was the stupid move Face makes at the beginning; attending his orphanages’ reunion …
Monster Episode 20 (Anime)

MLB TV Service
I just recently switched from satellite TV to MLB TV thinking it would be more convenient for watching games and I think it was a horrible choice. They released a beta version during spring training and I saw major issues with the connection and video quality that I figured …
M*A*S*H: Mulcahy’s War
There aren’t that many episodes of this wartime series that give focus to William Christopher’s Father Mulcahy role, but in season five, M*A*S*H: Mulcahy’s War does just that. The good father feels like he’s not doing enough, like he needs to be at the front to really do …
Medium: Will the Real Fred Rovick Please Stand Up?
The Medium episode for February 5, 2010 was really entertaining, and I liked it more than many other episodes for a few reasons. Entitled “Will the Real Fred Rovick Please Stand Up?” this gave us two distinct stories and both really held my interest well.
The main story with …
Friends Episode - Phoebe massages Rachel
I totally enjoyed Friends Episode - Phoebe massages Rachel. I can’t remember which season and episode, but I totally love this episode when Phoebe is totally against Rachel going for a free gift certificate for massage in one of this big, corporate company. Phoebe claims that she is …
Stargate SG-1: Moebius Part 2
The era ends here for Stargate SG-1. It’s the end of the season, the end of a dreaded story arc, and it’s the final appearance of Richard Dean Anderson as a regular. It’s also the end of this reality, which I’ll explain at the end.
Stargate SG-1: Moebius …
Ghostbusters Christmas
While roaming the channels over the holidays to find something interesting to watch, I landed upon Ghostbusters Christmas, which I’d never seen. This is an animated program based on the popular science fiction movie. The best part for me was just hearing the rocking Ghostbusters theme, which …
CSI Season 1 Episode 8 Anonymous
This episode tells the story of two crimes investigate by the Las Vegas Crime Scene Investigators. One of the crimes targets Grissom on a personal level and really gets the amount of emotion out of him, which was never previously displayed on the show. This is the first time …
Knight Rider Season 1, Ep 15: Fly By Knight
Knight Rider is one of those simple shows that we know are simple but we still watch because we like that simplicity. It is about good guys agains the bad guys, just here the good guy, Mike, drives this great car called Kitt that has or is AI and …
Seven days Season 2 Episode 3
Although I generally find a tone of illogical things in this show this episode managed to make me forget about anything else except what was going on in it. That’s really a great thing because I’ve seen about 25 episodes of this show and I found them all more …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Graveyard of Fear TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Graveyard of Fear is the 19th show of year two and guest stars Robert Loggia as Ames and Marian ‘McCargo’ Moses as Karyl, who claims to be over 200 years old, thanks to something called vita-synthesis.
Following are a few notes on this …
Fringe : Bound
It’s hard for me to decide if I like “Fringe” or not. On one hand I enjoy parts of the show. I’m a big science fiction fan and this reminds me more of the “X-files” than anything that has been on since. I’m certainly not the first person to compare …
Highway Patrol: False Confession TV Show
In its fourth year, Highway Patrol presented this show entitled False Confession, which was the eleventh to air in that air.
This December 1958 outing was a little different in the theme. It’s a story they hadn’t done before, and I like that originality. Basically, a woman turns …
Sea Hunt: Base of Operations TV Show
One of the things I’ve learned to like about the Sea Hunt TV series is that they oftentimes do a nice job of educating their viewers on the dangers of diving without proper training. Several subjects come up not just once, but several times over the course of …

Night Court: Santa Goes Downtown
I started watching re-runs of Night Court in the mornings again and came across one of the classic Christmas episodes that is very memorable for me “Santa Goes Downtown.”
There are a couple reasons for this.
First, you have the whole “Does Santa really exist” story line that has gotten a …
Stargate SG-1: The Quest Part 1
Stargate SG-1: The Quest Part 1 is the mid-season cliffhanger meant to keep us waiting with baited breath for the second half of the season.

Criminal Minds Season 1 Episode 15 Unfinished Business
I thought it was a pretty decent episode. I enjoyed it, although I felt it was a little bit slow. And despite the fact that Reid is supposed to have these special mental skill and photographic memory, I thought it was just a little bit too much how he …
Naruto Episode 32 Subbed
This episode has some action in it, but not a lot, and it certainly is not very exciting. Despite the fact that we have seen very little of Rock Lee in the previous episodes, everything we have seen points at him as being quite powerful, but he is nothing …
Stargate SG1: Into The Fire
Colonel Makepeace come through the stargate and makes a mad dash for General Hammond’s office. He interrupts a meeting between Major Davis and General Hammond to tell Hammond what he has learned about SG1. While scouring their planet, they ran into a few Tok’ra who filled him …
Everybody Loves Raymond
This show is, in my opinion, not as hilarious as many people seem to think. It is no longer airing new episodes, but you can often catch Everybody Loves Raymond reruns, and the dvds are available for purchase, so it’s easy to watch this show even though it ended …
Naruto Episode 8 Subbed
This episode starts by replaying the last episode shrunk down to a couple of minutes, which was a disappointing way to begin in my opinion because there was nothing worthwhile about the last episode, and then the fight continues. This time at least the fight is a little better …
Highway Patrol: Fake Cop TV Show
Highway Patrol: Fake Cop is a second season episode of this highly regarded police drama from the year 1957. The show revolves around a trio of robbers who have a rather unique way of committing robberies, and that is by creating a situation whereby right after the crime, …
Have Gun - Will Travel: First, Catch a Tiger TV Show

So You Think You Can Dance Australia
I watched all the seasons of So You Think You Can Dance and enjoyed every one of them. When I learned that they have a franchise in Australia, I was excited to watch their version. I was not a happy camper with So You Think You Can Dance Australia.
I …

CSI New York Season 2 Episode 12- Wasted
CSI New York Season 2 Episode 12- Wasted
Absolutely loved this episode. Especially the first case. I wonder how the writers manage to think of all these cases. And I wonder how they do the research on all of these themes.
In the first case, the CSI team investigates the …
Stargate SG-1: Tangent
Stargate SG-1: Tangent is a very nice entry in season four of SG-1. It again divides the team up, but they are all focused on the same goal, and it’s full of angst and drama.
Jack and Teal’c are testing the new X-301 interceptor, which combines both American and …
Project Runway Season 5 Premiere
Eventually, even the most popular shows end up coming full circle and, either because they try too hard to re-invent themselves or because they run out of legitimate talent, they start showing some decline. This is especially true when it comes to reality television because you are always trying …
Louis and the Nazis (2003)
In one of his more recent films, Louis Theroux travels to America to investigate the Neo-Nazi movement.

Adam-12: Log 46: Pilgrimage
During its run, Adam-12 did a few Christmas episodes, and what I love about these shows is that they are all different in style and tone. I’ve always applauded the powers that be ability to acknowledge the holiday season and do it not only in an entertaining fashion …
The Ity and Fancycat Show
It was only recently when we lost our cable and had to revert back to local TV, when I became acquainted with the “Ity and Fancycat Show.” This is actually a comedy sketch show hosted by two local comedians, where they make fun of some of Jamaica’s current events. …
Outlander (romance drama television series)
With all the hype surrounding the premiere of the television series Outlander, I honestly thought that it would have been something that I might enjoy. This was especially after I discovered that it would be set between post World War II and that the plot would contain elements of time …
T-2 TV
I am using t-2 for my tv for last 3 motnhs. This is Slovenian TV provider, to be clear. So the signal comes from the ADSL line or the optical cable, if you have on. And i do. There is a lot of programs with this TV. The number …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 19: Cry Uncle
Just as the previous episode introduces us to Ray’s aunt, this one introduces us to Egon’s Uncle Cyrus. At first glance, it seems like it would be a rehash, but the two stand in stark contrast to one another. Where Ray’s aunt was deep into the idea …
M*A*S*H: Good-Bye Radar: Part 1
M*A*S*H: Good-Bye Radar: Part 1 is the beginning of a two-part swan song for Gary Burghoff as Radar O’Reilly. Burghoff was the only member of the television cast who had also been in the theatrical film, so this was a big deal when he decided to leave the …
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Promised Land TV show
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Promised Land is the first episode of this series that aired in 1983. It’s funny what stands out to a person, but one of the things I am amused by as I rewatch this program is how star Richard Dean Anderson (he plays …
