Strictly Dr. Drew (television show)

Mork & Mindy: It’s a Wonderful Mork
Wow, who knew a clever show like Mork & Mindy would have gone down the road so many other shows have gone down; doing it’s own version of It’s a Wonderful Life?”
“It’s a Wonderful Mork” isn’t too bad but it’s still something that has been done before. How many …
Gilligan’s Island - Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow TV Show
I have to say this episode is quite fun to watch. Gilligan has to be the versatile character since he has different roles to play. Gilligan roles yes, but he performed each role of old man, bald man and Gilligan himself. There was that nagging unrealistic use of crude …
The Nanny (tv series)
One of my favourite comedy sitcoms to watch back in the nineteen nineties when I was still a child was one called “The Nanny”, because I thought that it was both funny and interesting to watch. I remember at the time that there were still one or two jokes …

It’s Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown (1984)
Out of all of the Snoopy TV specials, this is my favorite. With the scenes of breakdancing and the energetic songs, it’s the one that says “1980s” the most. I grew up in the 80s so I love a lot of stuff from that decade. And there’s just something …
Smallville: Abyss
“Abyss” is the ninth episode of season eight of Smallville on the CW. This episode was fantastic and really set the stage for a huge confrontation between Clark and Doomsday, who will apparently emerge from the new character Davis.

My Name is Earl
You know, I really didn’t think I was going to like this show when it first came out. Frankly, the previews of the first season looked a little corny. I actually only started watching it because it was in a convenient time frame (just before something else I wanted …
Siapa Tak Sayang Bini - Who does not love their wives

Pokemon (TV Show) - Clefairy and the Moonstone (Episode)
“Clefairy and the Moonstone” is an episode of the Pokemon television series. What is perhaps most interesting about this episode is the story. I like how this episode exhibits a certain degree of mystery by exploring whether or not the Clefairy and Clefable came from outer space and I …

Comediennes Jo Brand, and the lesser known Jo Scanlan and Vicki Pepperdine bring us a satirical look at the day to day workings of a modern NHS hospital.

This is the 44th episode of the popular 90s American television series “The X-Files”. It is also the 20th episode in season 2. It is quite memorable for me as this is also one of the first full episodes I remember watching in the 90s when I was a …

Have Gun - Will Travel: The Solid Gold Patrol
I have problems with The Solid Gold Patrol episode of Have Gun - Will Travel from season 2. The basic premise is that a corporal in the army has won the New Orleans lottery which was worth $600,000. I must admit straight up that I didn’t even …

Twilight Zone is famous for its interesting stories with a strange twist. Forest Whitaker hosts this six-disk set. I’m not sure what year these stories were filmed as the back of the box uses Roman numerals (MMII) but I think its from the 80s or 90s. The box set …

Everybody Loves Raymond
I have liked the show Everybody Loves Raymond since the first day I saw it. Everybody Loves Raymond is a show created by Ray Romano. It’s a really funny show with a great plot line. I also think that Ray’s parents and Robert are very funny. The show is full …
That Girl: The Mailman Cometh
There’s a slight problem with That Girl: The Mailman Cometh from season two. I suspect it was filmed earlier than it aired, and the reason I believe that is because in an earlier episode from this second season, Ann Marie either received a phone call or made one …

This is what a satirical news program should be. While the Daily Show is quickly losing its edge, the Colbert Report is on fire. A more direct parody of the O’Reilly Factor in particular and Fox News Channel in general (this is obvious the second the opening …
OC - Tv series
I watched many tv series because I love spending my relax time with them. I love many of them and I hate some of them. OC is probably the one I dislike the most. The reason is that the story of this series is so predictable. …
Touching Evil: Mercy
Touching Evil: Mercy was the season ender for this show. It began with a more detailed look at David Creegan’s near-death three years earlier. I had thought maybe they were going to focus on that completely and maybe get the shooter, but it was just more background …

Everybody Hates Chris
Everybody Hates Chris as narrated by Chris Rock.
Taking a bunch of unknowns and extras and creating a situation comedy that focuses on the narration of a successful comedian was a risk, but it seems to work. This comedy series is as close to the Bill …

The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 17: End Game
Picking up on the cliffhanger from the previous episode, this takes all the momentum gained from its predecessor and manages to keep moving at a brisk pace. It manages to tie up all the loose ends and manages to up the scale of the show.
This episode had a …
The Andy Griffith Show: Andy and Opie’s Pal TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Andy and Opie’s Pal, from January 13, 1964, was one of the few episodes where Opie’s human fallacies came out.
One of the good things about The Andy Griffith Show is that the characters weren’t perfect. Andy frequently misjudges people. He apologizes, a …
M*A*S*H: Oh, How We Danced
M*A*S*H: Oh, How We Danced is the second episode that deals with one of B.J. Hunnicutt’s (Mike Farrell) wedding anniversaries. The good news is that it fits the continuity. In February 1980, they aired the show called Lend a Hand where the 4077th threw B.J. a party …

Supersize Me
Supersize Me is an interesting documentary if you can catch it on TV. It brings a lot of things to light about how McDonald’s made getting junk food easy and helped create a nation of obese people. Not sayinng everyone’s obese, but you know what I mean.
This guy ate …
California Dreams
I used to watch California Dreams as a kid and I loved it then. Now however I’ve seen it again and of course I don’t like it as much as I’m older and the show seems very dated.
Basically it started off being about a family and their two …
Hip Hop Abs Work-out video
I saw the infomercial for an exercise video called “Hip Hop Abs.” While the concept is really neat, I found this commercial, and the entire routines really corny. Sean T. is some fitness guy who instructs people on how to flatten their abs with some …
