It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown
I have seen the Halloween special “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” more times than I can count considering it’s been on the air since before I was born. But, last night was the first time my oldest daughter got a chance to watch it. She loved it.
Let’s put …
The Big Bang Theory sit-com
The Big Bang theory is in its second season and I have to say it is one of the funniest things on tv right now. I look forward every week to Monday nights. The Big Bang Theory is a sit-com about four incredibly smart nerds that have trouble interacting …
M*A*S*H: Commander Pierce
“If Frank Burns could see you now.”
The line is spoken about midway through the season seven opener, M*A*S*H: Commander Pierce. Margaret Houlihan (Loretta Swit) says it to Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda), who has been given command of the 4077th while Colonel Potter (Harry Morgan) is temporarily away.
Now what’s …

Eureka TV show
I went out with several friends ones and they started talking about a TV show called Eureka. I thought it was just another SciFi show that wasn’t going to have a long life, but as I saw it already has 3 seasons, although 8 to 12 episode ones, and …
The Next Food Network Star: Finale August 15, 2010 TV Show
Watching The Next Food Network Star finale tonight was interesting, and I should have known better than to have fallen for their slick editing job. I’ll explain what I mean about that shortly.
The three finalists were Herb, Aartie, and Tom. I like all three, but my clear …
CSI Season 12 Episode 1
I absolutely loved the new episode of CSI- Crime Scene Investigation Season 12 Episode 1. The episode had a really good story, but the main reason why it was so good was the addition of a new character on the show. DB Russell, the new team leader, played by …
Family Guy 10-4: Stewie Goes for A Drive
I want to walk outside and scream up at the sky. Asking what has been happening to one of the best cartoons on television. Family Guy has been sinking to new lows with their Season 10, but this episode was just a sinker. It hit the iceberg and the …
Numb3rs Season 4 Episode 13
This episode started with a mixture of showing a classroom teacher and an FBI agent while doing a drug raid. It did a very good job at mixing both scenarios together as the teacher was explaining that a good leader has to trust in himself, and will thereby gain …
A Certain Justice - Part 1
I don’t watch a lot of PBS (Public Broadcasting System) shows and never have. I just didn’t grow up watching the dramas too much, probably because so much of it is British and the culture was strange to me as a child. I didn’t know what they …
Jdrama: Nobuta wo Produce
This japanese series is about a guy named Shuji, a popular superstar at his high school. Meanwhile, he forms unexpected friendships with Akira and this girl named Nobuta. She is often picked on and made fun of because of her scary appearance and quiet nature. Thus Akira and Shuji …
Fireball XL5: The Fire Fighters
We have more mysterious clouds in Fireball XL5: The Fire Fighters. It’s a plot device that is in another episode as well, though not exactly the same as it is here. One of the things that is happening is that meteors or some kind of fiery balls …

In M*A*S*H: Friends and Enemies, Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) is reunited with his best friend, Colonel Woody Cooke, played by John McLiam. While Potter is happy to see him, he’s not so happy when Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) gives him an unfavorable report about Cooke. In …

Jack, Sam and Teal’c return to Stargate command, wet and in shock. It appears that Daniel was killed by a blast of fire that came up out of the ground and engulfed him. Each of the team members are devastated at the loss and Dr. Frasier recommends …
Project Runway (Even Designers Get the Blues)
This episode of Project Runway was definitely worth watching this week. Rather than getting to work with their choice of fabric, the designers were forced to use denim; more specifically, Levi denim taken from blue jeans and other denim outfits.
Of course, you have the usual trash talking throughout the …
Rebecca Romijn on Ellen
Rebecca Romijn on Ellen was a real fun watch. Here is a beautiful and very talented actress and she is super down to earth. And I have seen some celebrities on any given show at all like example talk-shows and they will have this kind of air or …
Sea Hunt: Sonar Story TV Show
This particular show, Sonar Story, the tenth outing of the adventure series’ fourth season, felt very slow and dull to me. So much of it was underwater, but it wasn’t showing sea life or some natural phenomenon of the ocean; rather, it was Mike Nelson tracking down heroin …
Mork & Mindy: Mork goes Erk
Well, that was an episode of Mork & Mindy I haven’t seen before. Mork Goes Erk is a great episode and one I would recommend watching if you’ve never seen the show before.
The great thing about this episode is it creates the possibility of Mork and Mindy having to …

This is a Sci-Fi show about Frank Parker and his NSA team, they have invented a sphere that takes Frank to the past, but they use it only when something bad happens that threatens national security. In the team there’s also Dr. Olga Vukavich, a Russian scientist, and between …
The Simpsons Season 8
The Simpsons Season 8 is one of the great seasons of the animated show because it contains several episodes that fans regard as classics. However it also contains episodes that are just as good, but aren’t talked about very often. Personally I love the episode where Bart is finally …
The Simpson’s season 4
The Simpson’s continue to entertain us with another smashing season 4. It starts with Kamp Krusty, where Bart and Lisa are thrilled to go alongwith other Krusty fans, but it turns out to be a disaster. The episode was really funny, it showed that the weaklings can overpower strong …
MTV’s From G’s to Gents
MTV has a brand new reality program called ‘From G’s to Gents, where they have taken the regular thub from the corner and thrown him in a reality tv setting hoping to transform these thugs into real high society gentlemen.
The recreation process is being overseen by P. Diddy’s former …
Star Trek: The Menagerie: Part II TV Show
Star Trek: The Menagerie: Part II concludes this action. The Menagerie incorporates much of The Cage, the original pilot for this science fiction series. It was a great idea, and it fueled the desire for The Cage to be released as a show of its own. …
MTV’s The Real World
MTV’s The Real World has been a successful hit among the young generation for many years now. But for those of you who don’t understand why, here’s the scoop. The show originally started out as strangers living in a house for 4 months while cameras tape their day to …
Two’s Company (pilot)
Two’s Company was an unsold pilot that starred Marlo Thomas and Ron Hussman as a married couple named Bob and Caroline. Hussman is a lawyer who in the pilot went in to ask for a raise, was denied it, and, feeling unappreciated, quit. A former model, Caroline …
Hawaii Five-O: Face of the Dragon
Hawaii Five-O: Face of the Dragon is part medical drama and part spy caper. Combined, Hawaii Five-O: Face of the Dragon just doesn’t do a whole lot for me. I never have liked the opening scene. It sets up the drama naturally enough, but it’s just …
Friends Episode featuring Winona Ryder
Have you ever watched Friends Episode featuring Winona Ryder? I must say that Winona’s acting in this episode is pretty convincing for a so-called indirect lesbian.
Of course, during the first part of the scene episode, when you watch, you would not realize that she is a lesbian and …
Star Trek: The Ambergris Element TV Show
Star Trek: The Ambergris Element is an entertaining episode that was part of the animated series. While the series didn’t last as long as the live action shows, I rather enjoyed these expanded adventures. This one was from December 1973 and introduced us to a new object …
Law and Order SVU
Law and Order SVU is a very depressing show at times, but the acting is superb. There are a few things that I don’t like about the show but overall it is one of my favorite shows on TV. One of the main issues that the show has is …
Parental Guidance
Parental Guidance is a local sitcom on country’s TV station and it stars the ever funny Adrian Pang and Jessica Hsuan. They play this married couple in the sitcom’s current second season. I have been watching them acting since Parental Guidance season one and it has been funny …
Cracker: True Romance Part 1 TV show
Cracker is a British crime show that I just can’t get into. Of course, I’m watching a second season episode so I’m watching a show mid-stream, but it’s just boring and confusing to me. The main reason for that is that I just don’t get the main …
American Dad: Rapture’s Delight
I haven’t watched the Show American Dad in some time now and don’t remember a whole lot about each of the characters. But, there wasn’t much on TV last night so I figured I would take the time to watch Rapture’s Delight.
It was an OK episode, but I feel …
The Andy Griffith Show: Fun Girls TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Fun Girls is not an outing that I enjoy. The Fun Girls are legendary in the mythos of this superb comedy series, but for me, they’ve never been a hit. They are annoying, and both of their episodes are ones I tend to …
Friends TV show
Most of you probably remember, from 1994 to 2004, the television show, “Friends.” When the show first started off, people involved in the show were not entirely positive that it would stick around beyond the first few episodes. Lisa Kudrow even kept her role on the show …
Voyagers!: Created Equal
Voyagers!: Created Equal takes viewers back to the age of Spartacus, who is enslaved and forced to fight as a gladiator in the arena. This allows the hunky series star, Jon-Erik Hexum, to show off his physique in the arena as well. As an actor, Hexum still …

One day when Squidward looks outside his window to see what was going on over at Spongebob’s house, he notices that he is getting a giant television delivered to his home. But, right after the delivery guy leaves, he sees Spongebob and Patrick throwing the television out and keeping …
Stargate SG-1: Spirits
Love it, love it, love it! That’s how I describe my feelings towards Stargate SG-1: Spirits. This second season episode doesn’t get a lot of acclaim, but it’s been a hit with me from the first time I saw it.
The opening scene catches us off guard with …
Adam-12: Log 25: Indians
This review is for Adam-12’s third season episode of Log 25: Indians. One of the major things that stand out in this episode for me is simply the characteristics of Webb-TV. Webb-TV is what is used to refer to Jack Webb TV shows, primarily Dragnet, Adam-12, and …
The X-Files: Season 1, Episode 18: Miracle Man
This episode presents us a rare case where the so called “Monster of the Week” isn’t really a monster at all. On the contrary, the supernatural element seen here is an ability to heal, supposedly a gift from God himself.
As you can tell from the synopsis, …
Justice League Unlimited: the Doomsday Sanction
Typically “Justice League Unlimited” focused on the less famous members of the Justice league and that is good. It adds depth to the D.C. universe which isn’t in most cartoons because they need to focus on a few characters.
The second thing it does is serve as a contrast to …
That Girl: What’s in a Name
That Girl: What’s in a Name is a re-do of the series pilot which had a somewhat different cast. In that version, aspiring actress Ann Marie’s boyfriend, Donald Hollinger, was also her agent. Her parents, Lou and Helen, were played by Harold Gould and Penny Santon. …

Due South: Spy vs. Spy
Due South: Spy vs. Spy was a fairly decent episode of this final season of the adventure drama. It had some interesting and clever elements to it, as well as some small comedy that worked for the bizarreness of the story. Basically, the caper surrounds a secret organization …
Adam 12 - Log 101
“Log 101″ of “Adam-12″ has a scene that I’ve never forgotten because it’s just too funny. A man has his lawn stolen. I always think back to that episode of “Bewitched” where Samantha wiggles up a lawn and drives her neighbor batty.
I like the focus on Officer …
Trailer Park Boys TV show
For years now, the Trailer Park Boys has been one of the funniest shows on television. Following the antics of the residents of Sunnyvale Trailer Park in Nova Scotia, it is always an entertaining treat to watch.
The biggest problem with the show, though, is the few shows that …

Celebrity Ghost Stories
I can’t remember what TV station this was on this past weekend, but my wife and I came across the show Celebrity Ghost Stories and found it to be one of the most entertaining ghost programs we have seen.
I have seen countless shows about so-called ghosts; the best being …
