Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn: 9-14-10 TV Show
I like the laid back manner in which Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn is produced. Even though instructional cooking shows aren’t my thing, I find myself more curious than I would be normally because Lucuinda looks and sounds approachable. In this September 14, 2010 show, she …
Damages TV series: Season 1
Pretty much everything I watch, I watch from my Netflix DVD queue or on my Netflix instant queue. One day I was sitting around with nothing to do and I was waiting for my discs to come in the mail. So I did a little searching through some …

In That Girl: Black and White and Read All Over, Lou Marie (Lew Parker) finds out that Don Hollinger (Ted Bessell) has written a novel. Don’s a little depressed since he’s had 12 rejections that day. The novel was actually completed in the first season and resurfaces …
That Girl: This Little Piggy Had a Ball
One of the most classic episodes in the history of That Girl is from the comedy’s first season. It’s called This Little Piggy Had a Ball, and it’s the episode when a curious Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) puts her toe into a bowling ball, and it gets stuck.
That …
Columbo: The Complete Fourth Season DVD set
Columbo: The Complete Fourth Season is once again different from all of the prior sets. Universal has put all four seasons on DVD, and each one has been different. Actually, it’s been a progressive downhill ride with each set. Fortunately, this set is a step up …
Dancing with the Stars - AU: Top Six Perform TV Show
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to see the show from last week. I really love watching this Australian version of Dancing with the Stars, even though I don’t know the celebrities. With the music, costumes, and setup of this series, it’s been fun to catch. I just …
Sea Hunt: Mercy Ship TV Show
From 1961, Sea Hunt: Mercy Ship had some interesting intrigue to it. Though the stories often include fascinating sea creatures, this episode takes a turn that puts deep sea diving expert, Mike Nelson, in the middle of a war.
Playing Nelson is Lloyd Bridges. He’s very good …
Oprah (talk show)
Oprah is a great show. I really enjoy watching this show because I learn a lot. Oprah has some very interesting guests on the show that really do teach people many secrets. I really enjoy watching the show because it does really educated you about many things your doctor does …
Road to Vegas - Family Guy Season 11
What would a season of Family Guy be without a Road to—¦ episode? They seem to have become part of the infrastructure of a Family Guy season over the last few years and one thing I have noticed is that they are, most of the time, some of the …
Undercovers: Devices TV Show
Undercovers: Devices had a violent opening which I think is ironically tragic because of the victim. I had been a third party, enjoying the cartoons that the victim, a nurse, was watching on TV. It just felt wrong to have her shot to pieces while watching an …

Stargate: Infinity: Greed TV Show
This show opens with more education dealing with a phrase that says someone is worth their salt. Salary comes from the word salt. This was Ec’co’s lesson to Draga that started Stargate: Infinity: Greed. We get a lot of these little words of wisdom and messages …
The Ity and Fancycat Show
It was only recently when we lost our cable and had to revert back to local TV, when I became acquainted with the “Ity and Fancycat Show.” This is actually a comedy sketch show hosted by two local comedians, where they make fun of some of Jamaica’s current events. …
Make Me a Supermodel (Bravo)
Modeling shows are fascinating to me because I like to see regular people showcasing their ability to become really fashionable. And I think that a lot of people have the potential to be great models. So in that sense, these reality shows are quite helpful. …
Exiled
Have you ever seen the series on MTV called ‘My Super Sweet 16′? if you have, then this reality show is trying to pickup from where the previous one left off, it shows how these rich, spoilt teenagers are living off their parents and not wanting to start living …
Unorthodox : Law & Order SVU
OK, I’ll admit, this was an interesting episode for the most part, but I do have to question exactly why the producers of this show went out of their way to attack the culture of orthodox Jews when the rapist turned out to be a child; not one of …
The Simpsons: The Frying Game
OK, I’ll admit the Simpsons episode The Frying Game was both interesting and funny.
I’m not sure where to begin with this one. You have Homer being sentenced to community service because he accidentally injures a rare screaming caterpillar. And, during his meals on wheels work, comes across a rich …
Ghost Hunters: Houses of the Holy
This episode of Ghost Hunters “Houses of the Holy” was somewhat interesting but not because they found anything overly impressive.
I think the best part of this episode, which involves the TAPS team investigating the home of a religious leader, is the discussion of how religious beliefs and the paranormal …
Surviving the Cut: Special Forces Diving TV Show
The latest episode of Surviving the Cut was called Special Forces Diving which dealt with the Special Forces Combat Diving Course. These personnel are already Special Ops trained, and that in itself takes a great deal of courage and strength. This is even more intense.
There were 53 …
Sportsnation
There are a lot of “talking head” shows on television nowadays. While it mostly sticks to news stations, even ESPN couldn’t avoid bringing in a few of their own.
Earlier this year, they launched a new show called Sportsnation. Unlike other shows, this would get the …
John Edward Cross Country
I do believe in the paranormal. I believe in ghosts, spirits, and poltergeists. I also believe that there are people in the world who can communicate with spirits or beings from the other side. Apparently, John Edward is one of those people. I’ve actually …
Blacke’s Magic: Ten Tons of Trouble
From January 1986, Blacke’s Magic: Ten Tons of Trouble stars Hal Linden as magician Alexander Blacke and Harry Morgan as his father, Leonard. The show opens wonderfully with Leonard showing up in the middle of night at Alex’s home and telling him that he’s moving in. Up …
The Virginian: Throw a Long Rope
Jack Warden, Jacqueline Scott, and Roger Mobley guest star in episode 3, season 1 known as The Virginian: Throw a Long Rope. However, before I say anything else, I want to note that this was Arnold Lessing’s final appearance as the cowboy guitarist. He was in the …
Spongebob Squarepants TV Episode: Splinter
Synopsis: Spongebob gets a splinter in his finger and tries to hide it rather than remove it because of the pain. However, when he is sent home, he needs to find a way to get it out of his finger so he can return to work.
What I liked about …
The Rapture (Discovery Channel - Religion Program)
The Discovery Channel just aired a program on The Rapture that I found rather interesting. The Rapture encompasses the idea of Jesus coming to rescue people who have had faith in Him prior to a seven year period of earthly damnation. I was surprised to learn that …
The Prisoner: Fall Out
The Prisoner: Fall Out is the final episode of this single-season series, and my understanding is that there was all kind of outrage because of how it ended. I’ve read that McGoohan actually left England to get away from the complaints. That’s hard to imagine, so …
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 2.16
“Some Must Watch, While Some Must Sleep” is one of those episodes that is not only filler but one that you could easily skip over and move on to the next with your knowledge of the chronological story line not being effected whatsoever. Seriously, this sixteenth episode of the …
Fireball XL5: The Sun Temple
Fireball XL5: The Sun Temple aired in December 1962 for the first time, bringing us another adventure for Colonel Steve Zodiac and his XL5 crew.
One of the fun things about this episode is that Zoonie gets to go on XL5 and Venus tries to teach him more words. …
Highway Patrol: The Judge TV Show
From May 1958, Highway Patrol: The Judge had some good elements to it, along with some really dumb bits. In short, we have an escapee from prison named Baker (Robert Courtleigh), who wants nothing more than revenge against the judge who put him behind bars.
Paul Cavanagh guest stars …
Beast Wars - Double Jeopardy
Beast Wars - Double Jeopardy is the second episode of the series to introduce a new character. In the previous episode, the Maximals received a new member, and in this episode, it is the Predicons that receive a new fighter. Unfortunately, Blackarachnia is not given much time to shine …
NCIS: Dead Man Talking
“Dead Man Talking” was definitely one of my favorite NCIS episodes of Season one. It had humor, lots of emotion and a difficult case since one of their own had been murdered.
In the previous episode, “UnSEALed”, we saw one of the agents (not on Gibbs’ team) try to …
Ugly Betty
I had just watched a couple of episodes of the new TV series Ugly Betty. The first impression I had for this series was that it has a striking similarity with the hit movie The Devil Wears Prada, instead of a lady boss from hell, Ugly Betty has a …
Sabc Sports Laduma Soccer Presentation Show
Ever since I started religiously watching soccer back in around 1998, because of not having subscriber paid television (DSTV) I have been forced to catch all the matches on the public broadcaster’s soccer show, —˜Laduma’.
As the years would go by I was always pretty happy to sit down to …
Star Trek: Voyager - Critical Care
The Star Trek: Voyager episode, “Critical Care” is easily one of my favorites of the series because it tackles a very serious and real issue: rationing healthcare. In this episode, the Doctor is kidnapped and sold to a world where a computer determines who gets what care based on …
The Time Machine - Upright Citizens Brigade show
The Time Machine is the eight episode of the Upright Citizens Brigade’s first season, and this is an episode that really highlights some of the best aspects of the show. Unique ideas drawn to absurdity (for example the whole “hole in the sheet” thing), hilarious sketches and all …
The Twilight Zone: The Jungle TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Jungle is notable to me for one primary reason. One of the guest stars is Emily McLaughlin, a wonderful woman I first became acquainted with on the soap opera, General Hospital. In this episode, she’s the wife of John Dehner. They play …
Tabatha’s Salon Takeover
Last year, a blonde with a wicked attitude by the name of Tabatha Coffey was one of the contestants on the BRAVO reality series, “Shear Genius”. I couldn’t stand her. She was very brazen and highly critical, and I didn’t agree with much of her assessments about …
Black Gold: S3, Ep 5 TV Show
Freddy Moore is on a rampage. He’s the tool pusher, or supervisor of the evening shift that actually starts at 2 p.m. He’s out for a promotion, so he’s having the crew complete a lengthy ‘to do’ list. Freddy’s just not my cup of tea. …
The Complete ‘Yes Minister’ Boxed Set (DVD 2004)
It is really hard to believe that this series was first broadcast on British TV about 30 years ago because the topics covered are as relevant now as they were then.
A comedy series but as they say - many a true word spoken in jest - and in the …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Two - Gary Takes A Bath
This is my number two favorite Spongebob episode. In this show, Spongebob looks at the clock and realizes that it is time for Gary to take his bath. Gary hates to take a bath and will do anything to get out of taking one. Spongebob tries …
Doctor Who: Season 2, Episode 1: The Christmas Invasion
So begins the era of Tennant. The guy had pretty big shoes to fill as Eccleston’s portrayal of the Doctor was highly praised (and rightfully so). Unfortunately, he spends a majority of the episode unconscious so it isn’t until the third act that we really get to …
Gilligan’s Island - The Hunter TV Show
I personally do not like watching this episode, since it leaves me more stressed out than anything. There is a suspenseful feel that just rubs me the wrong way, entirely too serious for a family show. Thomas Kincaid rolled by Roy Calhoun, plays a dreadfully serious animal hunter character …
CSI Las Vegas Season 9 Episode 2
The second episode of the CSI Las Vegas season 9 was a bit of disappointing for me because just after the episode 1 where Warrick was confirmed dead, they no longer have shown anything relating to his death. I was hoping they would somehow be able to show some …
Sea Hunt: Underwater Drop TV Show
Sea Hunt: Underwater Drop, which aired in February 1960, was the fifth show of this adventure series’ third season on television. It’s the second show in a row that has dealt with Mike Nelson, deep sea diver and ex-Navy frogman, working with the Coast Guard. Now in …
The Twilight Zone: The Hunt TV Show
For some reason, I always tend to forget what this show is about when it comes on TV. I have this idea of it in my mind and I turn it off, so I was surprised by it when I recently did view the entire program again. …
M*A*S*H: Quo Vadis, Captain Chandler
M*A*S*H: Quo Vadis, Captain Chandler is a bit of an off-kilter episode for me. It’s never been one that I enjoyed all that much. Alan Fudge guest stars as Captain Chandler, an injured soldier who believes he’s Christ. Most of what happens stems from this plot …
The Winds of War: On Location featurette
The Winds of War: On Location featurette gives a very nice insight into what it was like to shoot this mammoth mini-series. To film the series, it took 14 months, and to scout the locations, several years. There is a review of what it was like to …
