Bliss (Oh! Oxygen TV series)
Bliss (Oxygen TV series) - I had never heard of this series until I started perusing Netflix and ran across it. I had heard of female erotica before, but didn’t think much of it. I’m not a fan of the Lifetime channel, and thought …
Mythbusters: Duct Tape Hour 2 TV Show
Duct Tape Hour 2 aka: a Buster’s Cut episode of Mythbusters was terrific to watch. I still love the first hour, which came from curiosity of which MacGyver tricks might actually have worked, was a load of fun. They built a boat and lifted up a car …
Mickey Spillane’s Mike Hammer: Dead on a Dime TV show
Mickey Spillane’s Mike Hammer: Dead on a Dime was an episode from the first season of this private eye detective drama. It guest starred Barbara Horan and Allan Miller. I’ve always enjoyed seeing Miller, dating back to the late 60’s when he was one of the main …
Sea Hunt: Changing Patterns TV Show
Changing Patterns, the 31st outing of season 3 for Sea Hunt, revolved around a salvage operation; at least at the beginning. We learn this from the lead character, Mike Nelson, who told the viewers what was going on. It is still odd to me how the narration …
M*A*S*H: Your Retention Please
Barry Corbin guest stars as Sgt. Joe Vickers in M*A*S*H: Your Retention Please. Vickers’ task is to try and get personnel to extend their tour of duty, which doesn’t go over very well with some of the regulars. It does, though, bring on some funny scenes, especially …
The Carol Burnett Show: Roddy McDowall TV Show
This episode of The Carol Burnett Show from its tenth season guest starred the versatile Roddy McDowall. There were also regulars Harvey Korman, Vicki Lawrence, and Tim Conway. The monologue included Burnett’s view of vitamins and the fact that Eunice is currently her favorite character.

The Simpsons: Season 16, Episode 1 - Treehouse of Horror XV
Another installment in The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror specials, the episode begins with “Keeping it Kodos”, a bit similar to a ’90s sitcom complete with an audience laugh track. It continues onto its first story “The Ned Zone”, where Ned has received a concussion as a result and …
Ghost Hunters: The Ledge Lighthouse
I’m starting to wonder why I bothered renting the second season of the show Ghost Hunters. I say this because I’m two disks into the season now and have yet to see anything convincing. The sixth (or seventh) episode of the show “The Ledge Lighthouse” once again proves to …
Stargate SG-1: Avatar
In the era of videogame popularity, Stargate SG-1: Avatar focuses on that theme a bit. In the story, Earth scientists have been working on using the chairs from season two’s The Gamekeeper to help with virtual training scenarios. These chairs are linked to the brain and learn …
ASPCA (television commercial)
I am such a dog lover. So when I saw this ASPCA commercial, I was immediately struck in the heart. The music however, is what I think people will notice right away. The song comes on delicate piano and the sweetest female voice …
Sea Hunt: Sperling of Lamatsue TV Show
From February 1961, Sea Hunt: Sperling of Lamatsue was the sixth outing for the show’s fourth year on TV. In the show, our resident diving expert, Mike Nelson as played by Lloyd Bridges, is collecting weeds for research. It’s believed that the weeds could be a …
Stargate SG-1: Prometheus
Stargate SG-1: Prometheus is one of the wildcards I’ve mentioned. I kind of like this one, even with the annoying constant smiling of Jonas Quinn.
Earth’s brand new spaceship, the Prometheus, is about ready for its trial run. That’s when four hijackers make their move, successfully gaining control …
John Doe: John D.O.A. TV show
John Doe: John D.O.A. essentially picks up not long after The Mourner concludes. It has a very calm, unsuspecting opening with Jamie Avery (Jayne Brook) going to her apartment and being kidnapped by the serial killer.
One of the interesting facets of John Doe: John D.O.A. is the faux …

Diagnosis Murder: Murder Most Vial TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: Murder Most Vial from season two centers around an unhappy multi-millionaire named William Bissell who sues the hospital for malpractice. It’s a frivolous lawsuit really since the nasty tycoon admits he hasn’t been following doctor’s orders. He ultimately becomes the murder victim. By the …
M*A*S*H: A Smattering of Intelligence
M*A*S*H: A Smattering of Intelligence is the final episode of season two for this hit comedy series. In it, Edward Winter returns. He’d been in an episode a few weeks before this playing another character, but the one he establishes here, Colonel Samuel Flagg, is the one …
Stargate SG1: Tin Man
Tin Man was one of the worst episodes of Season One. It revolved around the fact that SG1, while visiting a planet, is knocked out and turned into robots.
When they first wake up they don’t realize that anything is wrong. Harlan, the annoying little man …
That Girl: A Muggy Day in Central Park
That Girl: A Muggy Day in Central Park from season three is pretty funny, and it features Ted Bessell in a dress. Now that was a get up! There is a logical explanation, especially when you remember that this show aired on network television in 1968.
In this …
Daily Show with John Stewart
Many years ago the Daily Show gained a cult following under the leadership of its original host, Craig Kilborn. With success came better offers for Mr. Kilborn, however, and he eventually made the switch to network television. John Stewart took his place.
Initially lacking, he soon came to …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Three - No Weenies Allowed

Have Gun - Will Travel: Helen of Abajinian
Have Gun - Will Travel: Helen of Abajinian is the sixteenth episode of the first season of this western hit show. I really tried to get into it because it had a light humorous feel to the action, but it couldn’t quite hold my interest for all of …
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Steel Horses
For me, the real star of The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Steel Horses is Comet the wonder horse. I adore Comet in this show. There are some really good scenes with him in this episode.
The show deals with Brisco getting a look at the coming thing, …
True Blood 3.01 “Bad Blood”
I have to admit to having quite mixed feelings about this particular TV series - although the show can be quite riveting at times, some of its subplots in the past have proven to lack satisfying resolution, the gore and sexuality can be excessive to the point of inducing …

In this episode, the designers choose their models, but in the work room waits Tim Gunn who has a surprise announcement.

That 70s Show: Eric’s Birthday
I’ve been watching a lot of the later That 70s Show episodes lately. But, I have to say the original episodes are still the best. Proof of this is the episode entitled “Eric’s Birthday.”
This is one of the great episodes, before Eric and Donna become a couple (well, actually …

M*A*S*H: Identity Crisis tackles a serious topic, one that is revealed in confession to Father Mulcahy (William Christopher), who then has to try and figure out a way to get the man to do the right thing.
It all begins when Father Mulcahy pays a visit to the incoming …
Drew Carey Show
I love to watch the Drew Carey Show. I think this is one of the best and funniest TV shows I have ever seen. Drew Carey is just such a funny guy and he makes me laugh. I think the whole story about Drew and his friends drinking beer and …

From 1965, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Terror on Dinosaur Island is the 14th show of this second year on the air. The series stars Richard Basehart as Seaview creator, Admiral Harriman Nelson, and David Hedison, who has always been my favorite performer from this program, …
Dancing with the Stars - Australia - Week 3 TV Show
Week 3 of Dancing with the Stars - Australia began with a big of a joke when they introduced one of the bottom 2 from last week as Jason Stevens, who had actually been voted off last week. Some caught it, but I’m not sure every did. …
Mary’s Little Lamb cartoon
Mary’s Little Lamb is a vintage cartoon from the golden age of television, back when things were so much calmer and a whole lot less violent. Lambs didn’t transform into robots; they were just there to be loved.
In this little story, it’s essentially a talent day at Mary’s …

That’s my favourite TV show it is British and it is situated in a British county of Midsomer. It is a detective show where detective’s name is Detective Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby (played by John Nettles) he resolves crimes, murders actually. He he is about 55-60 years old and …
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 …
Survivor S20 Episode 3
This was a cool episode as we to to see James lose it. The Heroes are on a road to self destruction if you ask me, there seems to be no unity on their team and people are back-biting and sorting out alliances far too early in the …
House: Daddy’s Boy
This episode of House is about lying, but the thing about the thoughts brought up on house is that they don’t always give you a firm answer. Medical diagnosis is a yes or no proposition, being happy isn’t. Is House unhappy because of his leg, because he lost his …
Sea Hunt: Hard Hat TV Show
Sea Hunt: Hard Hat is an episode I liked overall. In the episode, Gene Roth portrays Prof. Roland Cathcart, an archaeologist. He hires Nelson to retrieve secret documents aboard a submarine. The sub is German and was used in World War II. The curiosity was what …
Charmed Season 1 DVD
The TV Show Charmed is now on DVD. I have a tendency to do everything backwards. To learn thing backwards. And I actually started with Season 8 of Charmed. I had watched a few episodes off and on through-out the run of Charmed on the WB. But never …
M*A*S*H: Depressing News
M*A*S*H: Depressing News is a very good episode that is also thought provoking at points. The setup begins when a truckload of 500,000 tongue depressors when they’d only ordered 5,000. It’s an obvious error, but it’s one that strikes a chord inside of Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda). …
The Jeffersons - Florence’s Problem
The Jeffersons didn’t touch on serious subjects too often like the series it was spin-off from, namely All in the Family, but in the case of this episode, “Florence’s Problem”, it did try to explore a situation that wasn’t entirely comedy-themed, although the writers still manage to give characters …
Smallville show
Smallville is a show on the CW network that’s been around for eight seasons and going on it’s ninth and last season. Smallville is about the early life of Clark Kent before he became Superman. It’s kind of a slow progression starting in high school and moving forward to …
Metrocast Cable
I use Metrocast cable TV and in my opinion the service is great and I have really enjoyed it. I use the basic package but there are a lot of good channels included with the basic package. I chose the basic package because it was very cheap …

Alias Smith and Jones: The Girl in Boxcar #3
Alias Smith and Jones: The Girl in Boxcar #3 has some drama and poignancy to it, and while I enjoy it, it also is the first show that has Hannibal Heyes (Pete Duel) and Kid Curry (Ben Murphy) apart for much of the time. This serves to allow …

Wonder Pets show
Unfortunate the show “The Wonderpets” on Noggin is something that could be a good idea if they had developed it further. The issue is that there are only about five episodes. I mean, how many times can the stupid cow get stuck in a tree with a tornado on …
