Bones TV Episode: Aliens in a Spaceship

Have Gun - Will Travel: Beau Geste TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Beau Geste, the fifth episode of the sixth and final season of this western series, is one I’ve seen a couple of times in recent history, but which I just can’t grab onto for some reason. Something about it doesn’t work in retaining …
Dancing With the Stars (TV reality show)
Here is yet another reality show that I happen to watch when I have the time and/or opportunity. Dancing With the Stars is so corny. Yet you get drawn in when you realize that the most uncoordinated celebrities try out for the thing and are paired …

A Certain Justice - Part 3
The conclusion to A Certain Justice was better than Part 2, which I felt was a bit slow in this mystery crime story from P.D. James. This is the part where we get to the genius that the Commander Adam Dalgliesh is supposed to be. The puzzle …
The Andy Griffith Show Citizen’s Arrest
When it comes to classic TV, one of the best is “The Andy Griffith Show”, or TAGS as frequent internet watchers refer to it. When it comes to best episodes of TAGS, few would argue that “Citizen’s Arrest” is right up there at the top.
This episode has classic …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Invasion TV Show
Invasion was the April 28, 1962 of Have Gun - Will Travel. It is not a favorite episode as it was all about some military fight. Basically, it’s part of the Irish revolution and revolves around the character played by Robert Gist, Gavin O’Shea.
O’Shea wants financial backing …
CTV 7pm News

The Twilight Zone: Little Girl Lost TV Show
The Twilight Zone: Little Girl Lost presents a really different story and it’s pretty intriguing. It begins very routinely with parents awakened in the middle of the night by the sound of their little girl crying. When they check on her, she’s nowhere to be found, …
The Rachel Zoe Project
Bravo TV has some interesting and great water cooler reality shows, but it amazes me if anyone talks about The Rachel Zoe Project, except to say how self-absorbed and high maintenance Rachel Zoe is.
Frankly, I’d never heard of her until seeing the commercials for her show during other reality …
Gilmore Girls
Gilmore Girls is a Warner Brothers production about a mother and her daughter. I found the seasons of this show at the local library and instantly got hooked. The story lines are funny, heartwarming and at times heart wrenching.
Lorelei is quite a character. I do have to say around …
Law and Order: Criminal Intent Season 1, Episode 22
Watching this episode now, I have to wonder why the Law and Order Criminal Intent series decided to end their season with it. The previous episode is far better than this one, yet it is the season ended. I really didn’t care for this episode very much, and I’m …
The Prisoner: A. B. and C.
The Prisoner: A. B. and C. is more intriguing to me than the few other episodes I’ve seen thus far. It might be because it’s not so much the crazy FX or even The Village, but has as its setting a party scene, probably in London. The …
Top Chef: Just Desserts: Edible Fashion TV Show
Top Chef: Just Desserts transitioned to a normal one hour time slot with this edition, which was dubbed Edible Fashion. Things have settled down a tad, but there is still plenty of action.

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 …
24 Hour Restaurant Battle
Although this show has been on the Food Network for less than a month now, it has quickly become one of my most favorite ones to watch. This is a television reality series in which two teams compete in a challenge to open up and successful run the …
Mr. Monk and the Other Woman
This morning was the first time I’ve seen the Monk episode “Mr. Monk and the Other Woman.” I’m not sure when it was made, but I’m guessing it was sometime in the first season because the police seem like they don’t want his help yet.
Overall, it was a pretty …
The Defenders: Nevada v. Cerbone TV Show
The Defenders: Nevada v. Cerbone had some real annoying moments for me. Mainly, it revolved around James Belushi and his character of lawyer, Nick Morelli. In this hour long episode, Morelli is on a diet, so he is frustrating and annoying everyone in his law firm.
Aside from …
Valentine’s Day - Family Guy, Season 11
It would not be Valentine’s Day without a Family Guy episode making fun of the holiday that is more and more like a money making holiday for retailers then a meaningful event in the lives of couples. The title is Valentine’s Day in Quahog and it is the 12th …

Two and a Half Men
This sitcom has been on for a few years now, and we enjoy both watching reruns of old episodes, and catching the new ones that air on Monday nights.
This show is about a man, Charlie (Charlie Sheen) who lives in a nice house in Malibu, right on the beach. …
Sea Hunt: The Living Fossil TV Show
Sea Hunt’s 15th episode of its third season on the air was called The Living Fossil. Airing back in April 1960, this episode was a little unique in that it focused on deep sea diver Mike Nelson (aptly portrayed by Lloyd Nelson) working with others on a special …
Ice Road Truckers: The Ace Vs. the Ice TV Show
Ice Road Truckers: The Ace Vs. the Ice was the latest installment of the 2010 season. It was a good one. My highlights, and questions, are below:
–This is the second time we’ve had a segment with Lisa about her meals. I’m not sure what the producers …
Queen Bee
Queen Bee is a new show which recently premiered on the-n. You all have seen them, the overly self-confident stuck up girls. Well what would happen if you put seven of them in the same room? Brittany, Camille, Gisbelle, Kiana, Michelle, Shavon and Stassi were put on this show …

Star Trek: Mirror, Mirror TV Show
Star Trek: Mirror, Mirror is terrific. It’s a more in depth look at parallel universes, something that was more lightly delved into during the first season of this series. What makes this so much fun is the interpretation of the characters. This isn’t just parallel, it’s like …
BBQ Pitmasters: Season 2 Premier TV Show
The second season of BBQ Pitmasters premiered this week. I only caught a few token scenes of this series last year, so this is really the first complete show of the show that I’ve seen. I do recognize some of the faces, though, including judge Myron Nixon, …
Due South: The Promise
Apparently, Fraser’s driving is no longer questionable as in the opening scene of Due South: The Promise, he’s driving Inspector Meg Thatcher to an event. The long and short of it is that her broach is stolen by a street urchin. The young girl who stole it …
Eastenders TV
I love, love, love watching Eastenders on BBC1. The argument, the tears the drama! And it always happens a big family do, like a wedding, at Xmas or of course in the Queen Vic!
I remember curling up on the sofa when I was a kid and it first started, …
Countdown MSNBC
Countdown with Keith Oberman is the best show on MSNBC currently because it offers a realistic look at politics. The show is geared toward someone who is a Democrat and you can see this is the coverage because the show is always fact checking Mccain. However, during this show …
The Black Tower - Part 1
Keeping in mind that I’ve been given several of these DVDs about the adventures and cases of Commander Adam Dalgliesh of New Scotland Yard, I’m watching them in no logical sense of order. It’s like going back and forth in time. As a result, the first thing …
Psych TV Episode: Feet Don’t Kill Me Now
I was a bit disappointed by the season premiere of Psych last week so I was glad when this week’s episode “Feet Don’t Kill Me Now” helped to make up for it.
While not the best episode from the series, this one was still pretty good; offering a decent mystery …
The Good Wife: VIP Treatment TV Show
This hour of The Good Wife, titled VIP Treatment, was interesting because it was self contained in many ways, which honestly surprised me. There was actually not all that much of Julianna Margulies in my opinion. I felt like the concentration of the camera was more on …
Changing Lanes: Pit Crew Training TV Show
Changing Lanes was a documentary of sorts that aired in 2010 on the BET Network. Over a couple of months, viewers watched several young racers vying to win one of four spots on a new racing team in NASCAR. This new team was called Revolution Racing and …
Undercover Boss: DirecTV TV Show
Undercover Boss: DirecTV featured Mike White, CEO of this satellite company.
Now this is probably the first time I’ve watched with skepticism and that’s because I’ve heard so much negative publicity about DirecTV. Our local newscast has done numerous stories about DirecTV’s hard nose line about contracts. For example, …
