In Stargate SG-1: Cure, we get more history of the Tok’ra. In fact, we meet their queen, who has been used as a laboratory rat of sorts for ages by the Pangorans, who claim ignorance once the discovery was made.
It becomes a bit of an ethical debate. The …

Just as expected of this great show, it was a really fun and interesting episode. Aside from the investigation, there was some social message as well, but I felt like it didn’t really work well. I think it was a just a little bit over the top as the …

I don’t know what all the hype is all about with this show. I generally don’t really care for it. I watched a half of an episode tonight and I didn’t even watch the whole episode. I have seen it before but I am generally not interested in the …

In 2009, Brad Wright decided that the original movie pilot for Stargate SG-1, called Children of the Gods, wasn’t good enough. There were a lot of things he didn’t like about it, so MGM gave him the green light to re-edit the film, giving us this final cut …

The King Of Queens stars Kevin James, Leah Remini, and Jerry Stiller. This is one of my favorite comedy shows and I eagerly look forward to each episode.
The opening comical skits are always funny and set the tone for the rest of the show. The …

The highlight of A Man Called Hawk: Beautiful Are the Stars is Karen Malina White, who guest stars as a young woman named Lisa. White barely looks 18, let alone the 21 she is playing here. However, she has a lot of spirit by her presence, and …

Michael Landon had the honor of being roasted as the Man of the Hour in this mid-seventie edition of The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast. He also was honored again during the last season of roasts, making him one of only four performers to receive tribute twice with the …

I haven’t seen the show I dream of Jeannie in ages. But, I was home today taking care of our youngest daughter and, since I didn’t have anything better to do, I was watching re-runs on TV.
The episode I saw, Battle of Waikiki, was definitely one that was interesting …

The great thing about “My Name is Earl” is that mixed in with all the humor there are real messages about responsibility. One of the recurring themes is that small things that you do can have major effects on people’s lives.
On the episode “Stole Beer from a Golfer” they …

Stargate: Infinity: Can I Keep It? is the animal lovers show, which meant I actually got emotional watching it. Truly, I had tears in my eyes, but again, that’s because I get very emotional over how animals are used in shows, even when they are animated like …

The first thing I enjoyed about the Memorial episode of Touching Evil was the time we got to see David Creegan (Jeffrey Donovan) spend with his ex-wife and daughters. I continue to enjoy that connection which is strong and very present. It’s the first time we really …

Every time I watch Big Bang Theory I like it more. This is a smart show which manages to be almost constantly funny. In this episode Sheldon needs to find a ride because Leonard is working nights for a couple weeks.
Sheldon is almost always funny, but watching him in …

I am really psyched by American Idol Season 8 Auditions. In Singapore, we have the same day telecast as the US and that is super awesome. These past 3 nights in a row from Wednesday right up to Friday, I have been watching the auditions non-stop; meaning? …

CHiPs: Trick or Trick is the Halloween show and it begins great, with 13 black cats running in front of the very superstitious Frank Poncherello (Erik Estrada). For Ponch, it only gets worse, but it makes for great fun as he deals with walking under a ladder and …

I very much enjoyed Out of This World: Playing with the Power. This was the second episode of the series, and it made me laugh, and I just had a good time watching it.
One of the good things about the show is that the very first scene with …

The Discovery Health Channel has introduced a show called Strictly Drew that is on Thursday evenings, and offered as an On-Demand option, for those of you who obtain that service from your cable company. Anyway, I have watched the show only twice and I am now addicted. …

The draw for me in this edition of The Virginian, called Show Me a Hero, was a nice strong cast of guest stars. This was a show that was done away from Shiloh Ranch. The last couple had been ensemble episodes, and I’d enjoyed those, but now …

I finally got to see the entire Simpsons episode The Wife Aquatic last night. And, overall, I feel I wasn’t very impressed with it.
The plot of this episode started out promising. Marge wants to go to an island that presented plenty of childhood memories. But, when they get there, …

One of the best series to ever hit the television small screen, I honestly and truly believe that the hit series Prison Break, has not only captivated me, but has made a huge impact on audiences world wide.
When I watched Prison Break for the first time last year, …

Season 6 begins with the fading out of Major Frank Burns and the fading in of Major Charles Winchester in M*A*S*H: Fade Out, Fade In. There really just wasn’t any use of the Burns character anymore.
For the entire stint of the show, Frank had been a bumbling, cowardly …

Mr. Shorofsky calls it The Crazies, a time in the year when everyone goes a little nuts, and that is indeed what Fame: The Crazies. The catalyst for a big part of the insanity is Doris Schwartz (Valerie Landsburg) who gets on an honesty kick, something that becomes …

I was under the impression that when I watched “Let’s Talk About Pep”—”that I would be watching a show that focused on Pepa (from the rap group Salt N Pepa) “auditioning” a bunch of different guys that she might see potential to get involved with. But when I …

CSI Season 4 Episode 12- Butterflied
This was a very powerful episode, not as much for the investigation part of it, but the back story. The victim in this episode looks very much like Sarah, which has a very deep effect on Grissom and he refuses to rest before he …

This episode was a bit strange, but I enjoyed it anyway. I think the story ended up being a little bit too complicated and not very realistic. It was interesting because it shows how life does not always go according to plan and that fate is much more powerful …

South Park has gone to great lengths lately to write satire pieces on current events and trends. This episode, entitled “The Coon”, follows Cartman dressing as a Batman like superhero, probably as a means of capitalizing on the success of the latest Batman movies. While not a completely awful …

The first thing that I didn’t like about Outlaw: In Re: Jessica Davis is that it did not give us a resolve about last week’s episode. Well, I guess you can say it did simply by the fact that the two partners were still working together, but it …

“Act 2 Ami - Sailor Mercury” is the second episode of the Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal series. In stark contrast to the 1990s anime, which had what many refer to as “filler” episodes, those being episodes that didn’t advance the main storyline, and such it wasn’t until episode …

The show, Sea Hunt: Underwater Curtain from May 1959, began harmlessly enough with diving expert Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) in the ocean with a married couple, Ken and Joan, who were friends of his. The fun is cut short when a sort of alarm goes off, and shortly, …

M*A*S*H: Potter’s Retirement is a pretty decent episode from the sixth season of this great series. In the episode, Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) learns that complaints have been made about his command of the 4077th. Now in years past, that was commonplace for Potter’s predecessor, Colonel …

Laramie: The Lawless Seven has always been one of my favorite episodes. I just love the drama, the characters, the action, and the hint of romance that exists within the hour of this exciting western TV series. The focus in this particular episode is on Robert Fuller’s …

Because of my daughter, I have seen almost every episode of SpongeBob SquarePants. The one episode I�ve seen a dozen times and still find hilarious is Big Pink Loser.
This episode focuses on Patrick, (Spongebob�s Starfish friend) and how he is upset about never winning an award. And, he gets …

As South Park gets older, you can really start to see the wrinkles forming. The episode “Pinewood Derby” is a prime example of how far the writers now have to go to do something the show has not done before. As with the majority of the newer episodes, I …

From 1987, Private Eye: Both Sides of the Coin is one show of this crime adventure drama that I really couldn’t get into. The story somewhat when in my eyes and ears and right out of my head. It’s a scam plot, and they’re a dime a …

The Andy Griffith Show: A Medal for Opie, a season two entry, has never been a favorite of mine, and I’m really not totally sure why. The half hour outing is a very nice story about good sportsmanship, and it’s a prime father and son tale which I …

From August 1989, The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Wonderful Death of Dudley Stone begins with Bradbury’s explanation that the story was spawned from his pondering over how he might respond if someone asked for his writing or his life. I don’t know if this tale is his answer, …

Well, my wife is once again spending her Thursday nights watching Project Runway on Lifetime. This started last night with the season 8 premiere of the series. And, unfortunately, I think the series is continuing to get worse and worse every year.
First of all, the contestants this year seem …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Deadly Amphibians aired as the 13th outing for this fun science fiction show’s fourth season on television. As the title indicates, the challenge for the crew of the nuclear sub are invaders in the form of these creatures. Actually, it’s …

In 1982’s Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Dreams, Cameron Mitchell guest stars as Ben Shepherd, who works for the lumber company. Brian (Drake Hogestyn) decides he wants to learn that business and takes a break from the ranch for a while.
The merits of the show aside, there was …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Who Watches the Watchers is an episode that might seem somewhat offending and close-minded to some, while others will applaud its stance and attitude on the delicate subject of religion. In this episode, Captain Picard remarks that a culture that believes in Gods …

I just adore Judge Judy. She is a real Judge called Judith Sheindlin who, in this show, presides over real cases from the small claims court. The show has been running from 1996 and is still being made and in every episode we see two or three …

Synopsis: Patrick’s older sister Sam comes for a visit and her temper causes a war with both Squidward and Spongebob.
What I liked about this episode: I wasn’t sure I was going to like this one at first but it turned out to be a surprisingly funny episode. Sam loves …

How I Met Your Mother (”Mother”) is a fairly entertaining ensemble comedy that will remind you of a lightweight version of Friends. Mother airs on CBS, although I am not sure what time it will air this coming fall, for its fourth season. I do think it …

If you like celebrity gossip, you have probably seen the TMZ television show which comes on Fox TV. If you have even perused the website TMZ.com once, you’ll understand that this show focuses heavily on celeb dirt. I like the format, in which the viewers …

I have really fallen in love with this show. I like seeing the different ways that “amateurs” cook, and love the ingenuity that they have to use when they’re provided the ingredients they must use for their dishes. I like in particular, the contests in which …
