The Office TV show
I started watching re-runs of the office on TV not to long ago and it is now one of my favorite shows on. The Office is a remake of a popular British show with the same name. The show has a very subtle brand of comedy that not all …

Come dine with me
A programme that me and Lyndsey like watching on an evening is Come dine with me. There is an episode on each night of the week. Each night one of the five contestants hosts a dinner party while the other four mark them out of ten the …
HBO
HBO is not like it used to be. They used to have new movies on all the time. They still have a lot to choose from, a wide variety of movies. Though a lot of the movies aren’t that new. I haven’t had movie channels in a long time …
House, M.D (TV series)
Of all the medical dramas around on TV in recent years, House, M.D. has got to be one of my favorites. I came across this series in its first season, and have been a fairly regular viewer ever since.
The writing of House is some of the smartest writing …
Criss Angel: Mindfreak (A&E network TV show)
The most I had heard about Criss Angel is that he was a paramour of Cameron Diaz’. But other than that, I had no idea who he was. Since his little romance with her dissolved (after about two minutes) I had the opportunity to catch …
Masquerade: Sleeper
Masquerade: Sleeper aired in 1984 and had some nice elements to the story. This is a spy adventure series where the National Intelligence Agency recruits every day citizens to carry out missions. The idea came from Mr. Lavender, played by Rod Taylor. Working with him are …
M*A*S*H: Springtime
M*A*S*H: Springtime is a pivotal episode to one of the characters, but it’s also a show with a lot of gaps that make it a bit sub-par. I do like the location shooting here, which really wasn’t much of a location, except that the cameras went outside of …
Direct TV
A couple weeks ago, I decided to do away with Charter cable television and take advantage of a special offer we had from Direct TV. I was nervous about the switch. But, I wanted to cut our monthly costs and thought this would be a great way to do …
Super Mario World - King Scoopa Koopa
Super Mario World - “King Scoopa Koopa” is an episode that I find offers a good amount of humor and action, although I felt its “message” was not really necessary. The message that I am referring to is eating too much greasy fast food and what it can do …
The Virginian: The Good-Hearted Badman TV Show
Pete Duel guest starred as The Good-Hearted Badman in this sixth season episode of The Virginian. Back when this show aired originally in February 1968, Duel was using the original spelling of his surname, Deuel. While his brother Geoff continued to use that spelling, Pete changed it …
Friends Season One - The one with the thumb
I think this show is pretty funny, because in the beginning of the episode Phoebe finds a thumb that is floating in her soda, and to show their sorrow about what she found, she is given a lot of money in return so that she doesn’t sue. This is …
The Game (Interview) on Carson Daily 6/19/08
If you are a fan of The Game and you missed this interview then I must tell you that you did not miss very much. The Game spoke about his gifts for father’s day and how his two children gave him socks as a gift. He said that his …
Wallander Series 2 Episode 2 The Man Who Smiled

Band of Brothers episode 5 “Crossroads”
Band of Brothers episode 5 Crossroads has Easy Company facing off with German resistance and is centered on Richard Winters who has been promoted and has to give a detailed report of the battle.
This episode was really intense and the war scenes in it were insane. You …

CSI New York Season 2 Episode 22- Stealing Home
CSI New York Season 2 Episode 22- Stealing Home
A very average episode for the show. There were a few interesting moments, but then the rest was not good at all. It began looking like a really good story, but it died in the middle. I don’t think it is …
Trinity Blood episode 21
As the time at hand under goes an critical stage, what are the thoughts of the pure child who accept this to be the blistering reality about him? Or is all just a fabrication of an corrupted mind, crying out from beneath its own sins. All thing have an …
Unsolved Mysteries
I like to watch the tv show “Unsolved Mysteries” I think this show was one of the first actual “reality shows” although they use reenactments.
I just recently realized the show was back on Spike TV channel. With a new host Dennis Farina. I think Robert Stack …
American Dad show
This show is brought to us by the same people that brought us Family Guy. And like Family Guy, it is a gratuitously vulgar show with little comedic value that I cannot understand why it is on my television set.
Really, what is funny about this show? I’ve …
Dead Zone Season 3, Episode 4
This was one of the darker episodes of the series and considering that the show is based on a Stephen King novel, I think that’s saying a lot. The episode starts with Johnny and Bruce driving down the road and listening to the radio. A local shock jock is …
Futurama TV Episode: Parasites Lost
I was watching TV late last night and came across some re-runs of the show Futurama. I haven’t seen this series in a while and was glad they were showing an episode I have actually seen before and love called Parasites Lost.
This episode has Fry and Leela at a …
CHiPs: Cry Wolf
The opening teaser in CHiPs: Cry Wolf is memorable and funny, not for the actual plot, but because they show stock footage of Station 51 from Emergency! responding. Then when we get to the scene and it’s a different engine and squad and it’s now numbered ‘519′. …
Civil Wars: Daveja-Vu All Over Again TV Show
Civil Wars was one of my favorite TV shows when it aired. I was highly disappointed when it was canceled so quickly. The show starred Mariel Hemingway, Peter Onorati (who was clearly etched on my brain for Cop Rock, which I adored), Debi Mazar, and Alan Rosenberg, …
Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer: 9-15-10 TV Show
Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer from September 15, 2010 was another waste of time for me. This was just their third show, but again, I have to ask what the point is in watching two immature females trying to control the airwaves?
Alexis is this tall blonde who appears …
Doctor Who: Season 2 Episode 7: The Age of Steel
After the previous episode, I wasn’t really sold on the Cybermen. I’m still not blown away by them, but my opinion of them as foes of the Doctor has increased significantly.
Really though, this episode belongs to Mickey, who gets to shine after being left behind and then …
That Girl: Fur All We Know
Though the opening bit is rather cute, the rest of That Girl: Fur All We Know perturbs me on several levels. At the beginning of this show, Don takes Ann to a big party for the wealthy jet set. While he’s doing his business, he tells his …
Scooby Doo
Scooby Doo is a funny, family oriented cartoon that all ages can love. The Scooby Doo cartoon has been around since the 1970s, and several generations have grown up watching this crazy cartoon with a talking dog. Scooby Doo stars Scooby Doo, the brown and black spotted dog who …
Bones Season 21 Episode 1 -The Soldier on the Grave
There is rarely an episode of Bones that I don’t like. And this one is no exception. But this one is different from the rest of the episodes this season. Usually there is a mixture of serious things with a lot of humour. This time it was very serious and …
Monk
It’s been a while since they had a fresh new episode of Monk and I was really impressed with the fact they got Howie Mandel to play the role of a cult leader. But, overall, this was a bit of a disappointment. I guess I expected a lot more …
Ghost Hunters Season Three, Part One
The first half of the third season of Ghost Hunters kicked off with a trip to the Old West. Since I’m a huge fan of that time period and it’s one of my favorite parts of history, I was excited to see what they found. The crew hit four …

Laramie: The Long Road Back TV Show
Laramie: The Long Road Back isn’t really one of my favorite episodes, but that’s mostly because it’s an hour that focuses on John Smith’s character of Slim Sherman. I so much prefer the buddy shows in which Smith shares the western hour with Robert Fuller and his much …
Project Runway: A Rough Day on the Runway TV Show
Project Runway: A Rough Day on the Runway had the competitors focused on American sportswear with Jackie Kennedy as the inspiration or muse. The twist came on what was to be runway day when the designers are told that they have to add a piece of outerwear. …
Eureka Seven 36
In an romantic comedy monologue, we are exposed to what at first seems like an series of superficial stories, only to have us make the shocking assertion that more truth lies within these superficial stories then we are willing to admit to the general public. This is the superficial …
Twilight Zone Ssn 1: Ep. Walking Distance

L.A. Law: One Rat, One Ranger TV Show
I was never a big fan of L.A. Law, though with reruns, I probably have seen most if not all of the entire series, but as I turned on One Rat, One Ranger to watch it for the first time in years, my initial thought was, “Wow, what a …
M*A*S*H: Morale Victory
Every now and then, the powers that be at this incredibly wonderful wartime comedy give us a show dealing with how down and out the personnel can get. M*A*S*H: Morale Victory is one of these episodes. The troops at the 4077th are tired of the war going …

Sea Hunt: River Treasure TV Show
Oh goodness, we are back in some South American unnamed country again. I really don’t like these episodes of Sea Hunt that take diver Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) to these locales. I want underwater adventures, and I refuse to believe that they couldn’t come up with more …
John Adams: Unnecessary War TV Show
The sixth of seventh episodes, Unnecessary War continues the mini-series, John Adams, which aired on HBO in April 2008. It’s a complex and involved story of a patriot who is iconic, but who was just a human being full of strength and fallacy. We see the weaker …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Brothers TV Show
The 11th show of the fifth season, Have Gun - Will Travel: The Brothers was a good one, full of surprises. In the show, Paladin (Richard Boone) is hired to bring back accused murderer, Bram Holden, for trial. However, it’s not an easy task, beginning with Paladin …
PBS Workplace Essentials Television Show
When most people think of shows that are on the American public broadcasting station, they think of cartoons like “Arthur” and Clifford.” Most adults do not realize that there are a lot of helpful programs for them on there as well and this one is a great example. …

24: Action-packed TV Series
Can a number bring thrill and suspense to television viewers? I’d like to think so and 24 has done a very good job at that.
24 is an action-drama series that has spanned seven seasons already. It stars Keifer Sutherland as the famous (or infamous) Jack Bauer as a …
