Tales of the Gold Monkey: Naka Jima Kill
Just when I thought Sarah Stickney White (Caitlin O’Heaney) was out for the count and relegated to nothingness, she finally gets some action in Tales of the Gold Monkey: Naka Jima Kill. Trust me, it’s been several episodes since she did more than sing, which she doesn’t do …
The Twilight Zone: The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street TV Show

Ice Road Truckers: Lisa’s Monster Megahaul TV Show

Adam 12 - Log 36
On the whole, this episode of Adam-12 is a tad lacking for me. Not every show can be a winner. That said, there are elements in it that I enjoy very much, and it’s definitely still watchable and better than most shows on TV today.
The sub-plot that …

The fifth episode in the ‘Clone Wars’ 3D animated series is called “Rookies” and it takes a huge down turn in terms of quality and entertainment - Well, I’ll admit, maybe I’m over-exaggerating on the entertainment part. But the main problem here is that none of the main characters …

THAT 70′S SHOW

From the Earth to the Moon - Part 5: Spider

Highway Patrol: Brave Boy TV Show
