TV Reviews
Arrested Development TV series
The television series “Arrested Development” is not to be confused with the music group from the nineteen nineties with the same name. In fact I even heard on VH1 that the television series was almost sued by the music group after one of their members was watching the superbowl …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Playground TV Show
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Playground , which aired in June 1985, features William Shatner as the adult Charles Underhill. On the surface, he’s a loving husband and father, but beneath the surface, he is living with a demon that only he can see. One of his …
Rock of Love
It’s hard to believe that a gaggle of beautiful women are so desperate to attract the attentions of an aging rock-and-roller that they would put themselves through all types of humiliation. Apparently, though, it is true, as evidenced by VH-1’s reality show “Rock of Love.” In each episode, …
Highway Patrol: Fisherman’s Luck TV Show
Highway Patrol: Fisherman’s Luck didn’t feel very lucky to me. It was just one of those half hour offerings when I wasn’t lured into the story or captivated by what was happening within the ranks of this fictionalized California Highway Patrol department.
Perhaps the reason for my lack of …
Rick and Steve
There are currently two seasons of the television cartoon series, Rick and Steve. The show airs on the LOGO network. The show is similar to other adult cartoon comedies like Family Guy or South Park.
I can’t stop laughing when I’m watching an episode. The truths the characters speak …
The Virginian: A Father for Toby TV Show
The Virginian: A Father for Toby was a very nice third season episode for this long running western series. Young Kurt Russell was the primary guest star, playing Toby Shea, a boy who had a lot of tall stories about his father, even as he lived at an …
Futurama TV Episode: The Series has Landed
I wanted to introduce my oldest daughter to the show Futurama, starting with the first season (which I feel is more suitable than the episodes that air today). She didn’t get a chance to watch the pilot episode with me but we ended up watching the second episode, The …
Weeds Showtime Sitcom (Season Two)
Season One of Weeds was a great introduction on Showtime’s cable network. The idea that a suburban housewife could engage in such illegal activities for the sake of feeding and sheltering her children seems preposterous. But the reality is that plenty of people do it everyday. …
M*A*S*H: Bombshells
M*A*S*H: Bombshells is a cute little story about a rumor that gets out of hand. Just joking around in the mess tent with Sergeant Max Klinger (Jamie Farr), Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) and Major Charles Emerson Winchester III (David Ogden Stiers) come up with an impromptu rumor, claiming …
Survivor Season 20 Episode 1 Surviving Survivor
This episode of Survivor was really fun to watch. It was a special show remembering those who had competed in Survivor in the past 19 seasons and how they were doing after the show.
The parts I really enjoyed was watching new clips of Russell Hantz who is my …
Seinfield
This is an alright show overall. I will watch it when there is absolutely nothing else on television. I have only seen a few episodes of the show. There are a couple parts of the show that are funny but most of it is kind of stupid. Some parts …
Probe: Quit-It
Probe: Quit-It is the last episode of this scientific crime drama, and that was a shame. I really liked the relationship between the two stars, Parker Stevenson as Austin James and Ashley Crow as Michelle Castle. They were young and refreshing, and the way they solved crimes …
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 …
CHiPs: The Matchmakers
CHiPs: The Matchmakers from January 1979 is a fairly entertaining episode from this hour-long police drama which starred Erik Estrada, Larry Wilcox, and Robert Pine. As much as this show is cute and endearing, I also have some problems with how things played out in terms of reactions …
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: Jack Benny TV Show
Jack Benny was the Man of the Week for this edition of The Dean Martin Comedy Hour. Benny was a hoot, a terrific comedian and actor. I thought he was great and always enjoyed watching him. He was definitely worth being one of this show’s honorees.
It …
The Vampire Diaries: Season 2 Episode 3 “Bad Moon Rising”
When we last left Elena and Stefan, they were still dealing with the terrifying effects of a legendary vampire by the name of Katherine, and her return to Mystic Falls, all while trying to have a normal high school life and relationship. The third episode of the season, “Bad …

The episode opens with Batman and the Flash (Jay Garrick, the golden age Flash) batling the Scarecrow who, true to form, wants to unleash his fear gas on Gotham. This time he plans to use poisoned pumpkins. Scarecrow even has a group of minions dressed in skeleton …
Highway Patrol: Taxi TV Show
Highway Patrol: Taxi has comedian Joe Flynn playing a vicious robber and killer. I’m so used to seeing Flynn as a funny man that this is almost shocking to me. I don’t believe in all these decades that I have seen him play this kind of character. …
Sea Hunt: Cougar TV Show
From the fourth season of Sea Hunt came this 18th episode of that year called Cougar. It begins with diving expert Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) running into a hip kid who he’d helped the year before to straighten up his life. The kid’s name is Cougar Norris …
Top Chef - Show Your Craft
The producers of Top Chef just never disappoint. The second episode of the season and they have me hooked. From time to time on the show in the past, they will have a group of persons separate and apart from the judges judge the chefs. For this episode …
Martha: The Martha Stewart Show: 9-16-10 TV Show
September 16th’s episode of Martha: The Martha Stewart Show, which starts off the Home block of daytime programming on the Hallmark Channel, began with a couple of cute dogs. I guess these critters belong to Martha and apparently they are now starring in their own webisodes over on …
Just Shoot Me
Just Shoot Me is a pretty cool TV show. I think she show can be funny at times but boring at the same time. I think he has some really good actors in the show. For example David Spade is really good in the show. His acting is always really …
The Lazarus Man: The Catamount
The Lazarus Man: The Catamount is the tenth episode of the series which aired in 1996. Here’s what I still don’t get about the main character. Lazarus has flashbacks which we see. I assume we’re seeing what he remembers. Well, I’ve heard ‘Presidential guard’ and …
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 …
Law and Order SVU Season 2 Episode 4- Legacy
Law and Order SVU Season 2 Episode 4- Legacy
It was a really great episode, it was very touching and emotional. This is the kind of story that really makes you think about things that you take for granted in your life. Even if you’re a cold kind …
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 26 (Anime)
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 26 has Togusa being released from prison as he tries to figure out what’s going on and what has become of his team mates.
This was a very well done and satisfying episode as everything came together quite well and all the …

The season five weirdness continues with The Twilight Zone: The Self-Improvement of Salvadore Ross. It’s a show that focuses on a man who has the capability of exchanging characteristics with another. It’s a gift he uses for the purposes of improving his situation and to ultimately win …
Star Trek: Requiem for Methuselah TV Show
Star Trek: Requiem for Methuselah had the Kirk, Spock, and McCoy beaming down to what they believed was a world without anyone living on it. They needed a substance available on the surface that would fight Rigelian fever, a deadly illness that was spreading through the crew. …
Family Guy: Not All Dogs Go to Heaven
OK, I have to admit, tonight’s episode of Family Guy, “Not All Dogs Go to Heaven” was absolutely amazing. I was laughing so hard at times I was in tears and I think it is an episode I would watch several times again.
You have the main plot, where Meg …
The Andy Griffith Show: Opie’s Charity TV Show
From November 1960, The Andy Griffith Show: Opie’s Charity is one of my favorite episodes of this terrific comedy classic. It’s just incredibly awesome.
This episode is another one that proves that Sheriff Andy Taylor isn’t perfect in any way. He’s human, and boy, does he make some …
Vampire Diaries
though the storyline is quite different from the one the book, i am still hooked on this series. my friend lent me a DVD of the series but it only contained 10 episodes so i had to watch the rest online. i love everything about it!
the actors are …

Due South: Letting Go is the final episode of this series for the first season, and it continues to resolve the events of Victoria’s Secret, Part 1 and Part 2. The good news is that Diefenbacker is all well now and staying with Fraser as he recovers. …
Justice League Unlimited Season One: Panic In The Sky
“Panic In The Sky” is the 24th episode of Justice League Unlimited, season one. By this episode, the plot has really hit the breaking point, as six of the “original seven” Justice Leaguers turn themselves in to federal custody, leaving the rest of the team to fight off …
War at Home
This is a really crazy show about parents Dave and Vicky with their 3 teenage kids. There are so many shows like that but this one is particular, I think, because not only that parents are worst than children but they actually like it.
These two always make a big …
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 …
Sea Hunt: The Aquanettes TV Show
The 12th outing for the underwater adventure series Sea Hunt was called The Aquanettes, and one thing I loved about it is that it was mostly under the water. Those are always such intriguing episodes.
In this March 1961 half hour program, Mike Nelson is training three women for …
Due South: Strange Bedfellows
Due South just isn’t holding my interest in its third season, or first season, depending upon how you look at it, incarnation. Strange Bedfellows is the episode being discussed for this review, but I never really got into it. There’s a lot of soap opera elements here …
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Jimmy Stewart TV Show
The great and awesome Jimmy Stewart is the Man of the Hour in The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast, which was taped in Las Vegas. Right off the bat, I’ll say that the wonder of this hour is the quality of the talent there to roast Stewart. There …
TV show How I Met Your Mother
How I Met Your Mother (”Mother”) is a fairly entertaining ensemble comedy that will remind you of a lightweight version of Friends. Mother airs on CBS, although I am not sure what time it will air this coming fall, for its fourth season. I do think it …
Rainforest Shmainforest - South Park Episode 301
Trey Parker and Matt Stone created this episode to launch the third season of South Park. After being rude to the environmental children’s choir ‘Getting Gay With Kids’, Stan, Eric, Kenny, and Kyle are punished by being sent on the choir’s Costa Rican tour. Trying to get …
Due South: Chinatown
I’m not sure why just about every drama on television thinks they have to do some covert Chinatown storyline. It’s always about their version of the Mob Why can’t there be a story about Chinatown that is about the culture or, better yet, just the average crime …
Fireball XL5: Spy in Space
Fireball XL5: Spy in Space reminds me of an episode of Bullwinkle where we see the evil characters of Boris and Natasha, only here they are called Boris and Griselda. They really are a couple of nutty buffoons. Boris is always getting them into trouble, making the …
DSTV HD PVR satellite decoder
HD, or High Definition is the latest evolution in the ongoing quest for more life-like reproduction of images and sound when viewing movies and television and is becoming the norm the world over.
DSTV has recently launched an HD channel, and released the HD PVR DECODER to go along …
Psych: Weekend Warriors
Like I mentioned in another review, I ended up watching a couple more episodes of the show Psych before bed last night. One of those episodes was a half-way funny episode entitled “Weekend Warriors.”
This one has Shawn and Gus posing as Civil War reenactors after someone appears to be …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Return of Roy Carter
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Return of Roy Carter is written by Gene Roddenberry in his pre-Star Trek days. I have to give the show credit here, too, because it brought back characters regularly for follow ups; at least, that’s what has been happening in the first …
Bratz Dolls
For a while now, I have seen Bratz dolls on TV. At first I didn’t really pay attention to them, but now, I have noticed something about them. I have noticed that every Bratz doll is wearing something that no self-respecting person would wear. They …

I am going to review an old rugrats episode called Weaning Tommy.The plot revolves around Tommy’s mom Dedee and dad Stu taking Tommy to the dentist for a checkup.The show rigrats is a show about talking babies.The main character of the show is Tommy Pickles.Deedee takes Tommy to …
Jenny Craig/ Kierstie Alley Commercials (tv)
So, she’s done it. Alley’s finally shed those excess pounds, and attributes her new body and overall look to Jenny Craig, huh? The new Jenny commercials, which use Alley to be their spokes person really drive me nuts. Not only do I personally, find them rather …
Battlestar Galactica: Saga of a Star World
When I was growing up, my family never missed an episode of the television series Battlestar Galactica (the original series not the remake). But, because I would have been about three when it first aired, I had no memory of the first episode “Saga of a Star World” so …
