The Simpsons: Lard of the Dance
Some later Simpsons episodes aren’t as good as the earlier ones. But the episode “Lard of the Dance” is actually quite interesting.
I don’t know if it’s one of the funnier episodes I’ve seen but I like how they tackle the issue of how young girls want to grow up …

How I Met Your Mother Season 1
I was a latecomer to the world of How I Met Your Mother. I think when the first season actually aired, I only watched one or two episodes, if even that. A local store was having a sale on the first season DVD set, so I decided to go …
Adam-12: The Adoption
The fun part of Adam-12: The Adoption has nothing to do with the crime stories, but with a wager made between Pete and Jim. Jim wins the bet, so Pete takes the Reeds out for dinner. Jim was ready for it, too, not having eaten anything else. …
CSI Season 4 Episode 23- Blood Lines
CSI Season 4 Episode 23- Blood Lines
This was an absolutely fantastic, yet a bit creepy episode. The greatest thing about it, was the information that we as viewers got to learn from it. And I have to say that this piece of medical fact make me feel a bit …
The Surreal Life (VH1 TV show)
I never really watched this show until the re-runs started airing on the TV Guide channel. Then I watched an episode featuring Adrienne Curry and Chyna Doll, amongst others. The idea of placing “fallen off” celebs in a household to see how they get along …
The Vampire Diaries on the CW
When I heard that the CW was debuting a vampire-themed show, my first thought was something along the lines of “Here we go again!” I will be the first person to admit my cynicism about the latest vampire craze, and I was very quick to apply this cynicism to …
Columbo: The Complete First Season DVD
Columbo: The Complete First Season on DVD is a really nice product for fans of this iconic detective series to own. It’s really well done. It begins with a nice box that the disk holder slides into. It keeps everything as pristine as possible.
The negative point …
Vikings (TV series)
One of my favourite television series as of late is “Vikings”. It’a almost completely unexpected too, since while I’ve been hearing about how good it was since 2013, I just never thought that I would enjoy it almost as much as I enjoy Game of Thrones. As it turns out …
The Apprentice - UK - Week 10
In Week 10 of The Apprentice - UK, the two small teams had to select and sale products on one of Britain’s home shopping networks. Donald Trump has done that in America’s Apprentice, too, so it was a familiar concept. Even though the premise wasn’t new, this …
Sea Hunt: Sixty Feet Below TV Show
Sea Hunt: Sixty Feet Below debuted on January 4, 1958, and it was a good outing to start off with for this adventure series. I wasn’t even born when this show took to the air, so this is the first time I’m seeing the underwater themed program which …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Witch
The Buffy the Vampire Slayer Episode “Witch” is a good example as to why I feel the series should have been called Buffy the Demon slayer instead. As a fan of the show, I came to learn Buffy tended to fight more than just vampires.
The episode Witch is definitely …

In February 1962, the 21st episode of Have Gun - Will Travel’s fifth season aired. The show was titled Dream Girl and guest starred Peggy Ann Garner as Ginger Adams. She’s the girl Paladin (Richard Boone) and a young miner named Buddy Webster are trying to find. …

What Not to Wear (tv show)
I generally do not watch makeover shows like “What Not to Wear” unless I am very bored and there is not much else going on on cable television. However, I must admit that even though I don’t go out of my way most times to watch it, they do …
House: The Down Low
I will admit, last night’s episode of House was a refreshing episode. It had an interesting case and the side stories weren’t too bad either.
First, the case was fantastic. You have a drug dealer, who turns out to be an undercover cop, who is brought in with some sort …
Naruto Episode 2 Subbed
The second episode of Naruto is a far cry from the first, but it still seems to draw the viewer into the show. Taking a pure comedic, and slightly adult-oriented, standpoint on the show, this episode follows Naruto’s first day as a ninja where he uses the ‘Sexy Technique’, …
Third Watch series
I thoroughly enjoy this series as it remind of such winners as ER and Hill Street Blues. The cast of unknowns and minor experienced actors is just perfect. I enjoy these characters and weekly root for such friends as Sully, Faith, Carlos, Kim, Boscorelli, …

Fireball XL5: 1875
I love this edition of Fireball XL5: 1875. Gerry Anderson, the creator of the series, just really amazes me at how he utilizes the puppets and builds stories around them like we’d find in any science fiction TV series. In this one, that genius Professor Matt Matic …
CSI
CSi is kind of a strange show for me. While teh rest of the world may love it I struggle to see what makes it special or any better than any other crime show that is littering our television stations right now.
Sure it is glamourous but so is …
Columbo: The Complete Sixth and Seventh Season DVD set
Columbo: The Complete Sixth and Seventh Season DVD set is comprised of three DVDs, just like earlier seasons. Consumers need to remember that Columbo was part of the Mystery Movie lineup and tended to air just once a month during a season. As time passed, even that …
Devices and Desires - Part 3
Part 3 of Devices and Desires, a six-part series based on the P.D. James novel, has the standout line of the first three parts, and probably of the entire story. Spoken by Caroline Amplett to the very naive Jonathan when she says, “You say you love me but …

Grey’s Anatomy (TV series)
Grey’s Anatomy is a medical drama that airs on the ABC channel on Thursday nights. I came into the show a little bit late, but I have been slowly catching up from season 1.
The show reminds me vaguely of ER. However, there are some points to …
Psych TV Episode: Feet Don’t Kill Me Now
I was a bit disappointed by the season premiere of Psych last week so I was glad when this week’s episode “Feet Don’t Kill Me Now” helped to make up for it.
While not the best episode from the series, this one was still pretty good; offering a decent mystery …
Justice League Unlimited Season One: The Balance
“The Balance” is the 18th episode of season one of Justice League Unlimited. It is a mediocre episode focusing on the ‘girl power’ combination of Wonder Woman and Hawk Girl. It features the super villian Felix Faust who steals the armor stolen by the U.S. government in episode …

MacGyver: Three for the Road
MacGyver: Three for the Road is one of my all time favorite episodes of MacGyver and it comes as the tenth episode of the second season. Featured in this show is the wonderful Edward Mulhare whose past roles included starring parts in The Ghost and Mrs. Muir and …
Star Trek: Space Seed TV Show
Star Trek: Space Seed is one of the more memorable shows, especially since it is what spawned Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. It employed a number of interesting elements, including the possibility of cryogenics, as in placing bodies in suspended animation and then restoring them at …
The Cosby Show
The Cosby Show is timeless. Even though this show most likely came out before I was even born, I still enjoy watching it. Bill Cosby is funny but in a very classy way. He adds a certain elegance to the show. I appreciate the fact that Bill plays the …
Top Chef: Just Desserts: Dessert Wars TV Show
Top Chef: Just Desserts: Dessert Wars was a fairly decent episode of this Bravo reality competition series that pits a variety of pastry chefs against one another. Hosted by Gail Simmons, it has proven to be an emotional season. Below are a few highs and lows from …
Life on Mars Season 1 Episode 1 Out Here in the Fields
The episode starts in a really interesting way, not because of the event that takes place but what’s interesting is the dialogue between the 2 protagonists. This is the first episode of this show and the producers want us to remember the names of the characters so as they …
Matt Le Blanc on Ellen
I have watched Matt Le Blanc on Ellen and he is as awesome as he is on the show Friends. Even with a serious look, I just can’t help laughing at Joey’s expression and he looks like he is very calm, cool and collected. He talks to Ellen …
M*A*S*H: The Price
M*A*S*H: The Price has a cute first few seconds with Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) riding back into camp on his horse, Sophie, and singing a cowboy song. As a lover of the western and cowboy world, I found the entire thing to be really adorable.
A big part …
M*A*S*H: Last Laugh
M*A*S*H: Last Laugh is just too vaudeville and slapstick for me to enjoy very much. It’s such low quality compared to the excellency of the prior show that it’s even disappointing.
There are a couple of plots going on, neither of which held my interest. The main story centered …
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Deadly High TV show
The drug culture infiltrates the small town of Murphys in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Deadly High. While the older McFadden brothers run across a dead body on their land while rounding up cattle, the youngest sibling, Guthrie (River Phoenix), stands up to marijuana drug dealers on campus.
It’s …
Serial Experiments Lain Episode 4: Religion
First things first, in regards to the theme song (which I’m still digging). The group is from Britain, they aren’t American like I said in the review for the first episode. Ok, on to the review.
This show manages to go back and forth between nonsensical and downright …

A Taste for Death - Part 5
I enjoyed the early portion of A Taste for Death - Part 5. I liked the opening, out on the lake, in the rowboat. Some of the outdoor scenes in this taped production are the best. This mystery continues with Inspector Adam Dalgliesh (Roy Marsden) still …
Here Come the Brides (pilot)
Here Come the Brides is one of my all-time favorite TV series. I just love it. It’s full of love, family, warmth, adventure, drama, romance, and even action. It’s the story of the Bolt Brothers and how they bring 100 brides from New Bedford, Massachusetts to …
