True fans of the show will love all the little moments. …
Hogan’s Heroes: One Army at a Time
Well, that was a somewhat interesting episode of Hogan’s Heroes that was on at lunch today; “One Army at a Time.”
Basically, in this episode, they are trying to blow up a Nazi bridge. But, they are interrupted as they are making their way there and, because he is dressed …
Adam-12: Log 125: A Safe Job
In April 1971, the final episode of the third season of Adam-12, a half-hour crime drama, was aired. The show was entitled Log 125: A Safe Job. It’s a fairly decent show to end a year on. It’s not a big favorite, but it is an …
Bratz Dolls
For a while now, I have seen Bratz dolls on TV. At first I didn’t really pay attention to them, but now, I have noticed something about them. I have noticed that every Bratz doll is wearing something that no self-respecting person would wear. They …
Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmem
“Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmem” is a Travel Channel show I started watching close to a year ago. To be honest, there are times when I can barely stand to look at it, but, at the same time, it is just fascinating to me that this man will …

One Tree Hill
I never saw the original run of One Tree Hill when everyone was in high school. I only saw two episodes of the show when they in high school the rest I have seen in flashback from the shows current run. I didn’t actually begin to watch One Tree …
Touching Evil: Attachment
Touching Evil: Attachment opens very dramatically with David Creegan remembering the farewell with his kids that happened towards the end of the last episode. I really hate the direction the show opted to go in. That said, it made for a bang of an opening.
Then we transition …
Sea Hunt: Alligator Story TV Show
Sea Hunt: Alligator Story is a tale that just the name would keep me from watching if I weren’t reviewing this episode. Gator stories are not my cup of tea, as they say. The story opens with a really nice camera shot of Nelson looking up through …
Due South: All the Queen’s Horses
Paul Gross helped write the story of Due South: All the Queen’s Horses from season two. His Benton Fraser, Canadian Mountie, character is in Canada, joining a slew of other Mounties and their trusted steeds on a public relations tour. Also present is Inspector Meg Thatcher. …
Criminal Minds —“ Season One —“ Episode Two—“ Compulsion
I already knew from the first episode that this show wasn’t like Law and Order or CSI. This show mostly focuses on the bad guy, and why they do what they do, not how they did it. Compulsion was an episode about an arsonist. I got to learn the …
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Seven Keys to Singapore: Part 2
Bring ‘Em Back Alive continues its opening with Seven Keys to Singapore: Part 2. We’ve met all the main characters now — Bruce Boxleitner as Frank Buck, animal hunter and now part time secret agent of sorts, Cindy Morgan as Gloria Marlowe, the Miss Kitty to Boxleitner’s Sheriff …
Privileged on the CW
The CW has given us some of the greatest TV shows for years. Recent CW favorites include Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, and 90210. The latest addition to my list of CW faves is Privileged starring Joanna Garcia, Ashley Newbrough, and Lucy Hale.
The series is about Megan Smith, a …

Spongebob: Blackened Sponge
As I mentioned in another review today, I am watching Spongebob Squarepants with my daughter today and came across another episode of the show I thought was really funny, the one entitled Blackened Sponge.
Basically, in this episode, Spongebob is brushing his teeth and, in an effort to remove the …
Dexter tv programme
Dexter is certainly not the sort of show I would think of ordinarily watching. As someone who isn’t keen on blood or gore at the best of times the last thing I would think of watching is something as macabre as this.
So what is it all about? Well, the …
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: George Washington TV Show
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour took an odd turn this time around for its celebrity roast, going from the living to the dead, literally. The Man of the Week was President George Washington, played by Jim Leighton wearing revolutionary war attire. It was an intriguing idea that …
Stargate SG-1: Meridian
Stargate SG-1: Meridian is a show that changed the course of the series, and it’s one that frankly, I don’t watch. I saw it the first time and a couple of times after, and I’ve seen scattered scenes here and there, but otherwise, I refuse to watch it …
Mr. Monk is Up All Night
I had thought I had seen all the recent Monk episodes until I caught one as a re-run Friday Night.

Cowboy Bebop Episode 12 begins with Faye Valentine taking all Spike’s, Jet’s, and Ed’s money and taking off. Jet decides to go look for Faye while Spike decides to go look for someone named Julia.
This was a great episode and it was fantastic. The story was …
Home and Away Tv show
Home and Away is a great television show for all ages, however I would say it is mainly targeted at teenagers as most of the characters on the show are teenagers. I have watched this show for 13 years now, I first started when I was 16 years old. …
Stargate SG-1: Homecoming
Stargate SG-1: Homecoming concludes the two-parter where Daniel Jackson returns to the series after a one-year hiatus. Oddly, his character is teamed with his so-called replacement, Jonas Quinn. There was some concern that the two might have difficulties performing together, but they didn’t.
Fans, however, had some difficulties …
M*A*S*H: The Grim Reaper
M*A*S*H: The Grim Reaper has Captain Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda), chief surgeon at the 4077th unit, so incensed at Colonel Victor Bloodworth, played by Charles Aidman, that he actually gets into a fight with him at the bar. I’m just not into the shows where Hawkeye gets violent. …
CHiPs: Crack-Up
In CHiPs: Crack-Up, Jon is injured chasing a couple of drag racers. We get some good time angst for a few minutes while we wait to find out the results, like we didn’t know he’d pull through. I love this kind of stuff, though. All that …
Bones: The Goop on the Girl
A Bones tradition is ending the season with a Christmas episode. This year was no different. And, I will say the episode The Goop on the Girl was actually pretty entertaining.
Booth and Bones have to investigate the death of an exterminator who blows himself up during a botched bank robbery …
Due South: Strange Bedfellows
Due South just isn’t holding my interest in its third season, or first season, depending upon how you look at it, incarnation. Strange Bedfellows is the episode being discussed for this review, but I never really got into it. There’s a lot of soap opera elements here …
TV Doctor Who - The Ambassadors of Death
Another 7-Parter in the 8th Season of Doctor Who and another wonderfully scripted episode.

Despite the great story, this did terrible in the ratings as the …

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 …

In M*A*S*H: Pressure Points, Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) gets overly snappy and testy towards the personnel, especially Hawkey Pierce (Alan Alda) after returning from a brief trip away. It all stems because Hawkeye has to operate on one of Potter’s patients. The colonel becomes more intolerant …
Mr. Monk is the Best Man
Last night’s episode of Monk; Mr. Monk is the Best Man, ended up being a bit predictable but it was actually pretty darn funny too.
Stoddlemeyer ends up proposing to his girlfriend TK (even though they have only been dating for 6 months and seem to rush into the ceremony …
Fireball XL5: Faster Than Light
Fireball XL5: Faster Than Light is another good entry for this puppeteering TV show. There’s some action going on here, especially with Fireball XL5 having engine problems. There’s a bit where the ship goes incredibly fast, actually going faster than light speed. Seeing this on screen is …

ABS-CBN’s Showbiz News Ngayon
I regularly watch the Showbiz News Ngayon (SNN) program on ABS CBN. I am thoroughly entertained with the format of the show and the undeniable chemistry of Boy Abunda and Kris Aquino. The format of the show keeps close tabs of the famous stars in the local show business …
Family Guy: Peter, Peter, Caviar Eater
As one of the earlier episodes of Family Guy, “Peter, Peter, Caviar Eater” is among the more funny ones. It has a decent build up, and while the plot is not as out there as later episodes, its decent writing saves the day.
Lois’ aunt dies, and the family inherits …
