Stargate SG1: Message In A Bottle
This episode revolves around SG1 bringing an artifact back to the SGC, only to have it “snap them in the ass,” as General Hammond says.
After finding an orb on a planet that resembles the moon, Daniel and Sam make a case to bring it back to earth with them. …
The Twilight Zone: I Shot an Arrow into the Air TV Show
From season one, The Twilight Zone: I Shot an Arrow into the Air is a decent show, but perhaps it is the ironic and tragic fate of the story’s characters that puts me off. It’s not really one that has a happy ending, and I’m not into melancholy at …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Amends
While I can kind of understand where the writers of Buffy the Vampire Slayer were going with the episode “Amends” I do think they fell a bit short of their goal and produced a somewhat weak episode.
On the surface, this is nothing more than your average Christmas special with …
Family Guy: Baby not on Board
I’m glad they are airing newer episodes of the show Family Guy on Sunday nights since our local stations only show the same half dozen episodes over and over again each day. The one last night “Baby not on Board” was definitely one of the better ones I’ve seen …
That Girl: Just Donald and Me and Jerry Makes Three
That Girl: Just Donald and Me and Jerry Makes Three deals with Ann and Don’s friend, Jerry Bauman, who had a big argument with his wife and becomes ‘the crowd’ in the saying, ‘two’s company and three’s a crowd’. Like good friends, Ann and Don spend some time …
The Virginian: West
The Virginian: West was a little odd in some ways, at least, for me. Then again, I’m not a huge fan of this TV series anyway. Doug McClure’s colorful and lighthearted character of Trampas was at the center of this 90-minute episode. For some reason I …
Adam-12 - Log 55: Missing Child
I have to admit that I don’t like the beginning this Adam-12 episode. It bothers me on many levels. As an animal lover, it’s unnerving and disturbing. It concerns an elderly woman (Alma Platt) who intentionally left her gas on in an attempt to euthanize her …
Gene Simmons’ Family Jewels
I don’t like KISS, and for the most part have not been impressed by Gene Simmons in any way. He generally comes off (as he wishes to come off) as a lewd, crude, horrible little man, and as for the band I think they have practically zero talent …
Lifetime Movie Network
From time to time I will watch the channel Lifetime Movie Network. Sometimes they have really good movies on. Especially if you hardly ever watch the channel. The things I don’t like about the channel is that they have a lot of different movies about the same thing. It …
NCIS TV show
I have watched every episode of NCIS currently on air. The show itself has many good points that keeps me returning to it every time I see it on my guide channel. The characters depth and personality, story development, and interesting interesting twists and turns keep me …
Gilligan’s Island - Pass the Vegetables Please TV Show
This episode is rather interesting. I think the producer is presenting a real problem that we are fighting with in our world. The use of experimental growth experiments on our food. And he actually poses a real problem in an appropriate manner somehow intermingling the idea into a family …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Long Weekend TV Show
From April 1961, Richard Boone returns as Paladin for another thirty minute western adventure in Have Gun - Will Travel: Long Weekend. I have one overwhelming thought on this show, or rather a word that I would highly associate with it, and that one word is windbag.
Roy Barcroft …
Highway Patrol: Trojan Horse TV Show
Highway Patrol: Trojan Horse, season 2’s 23rd episode gave California Highway Patrol Chief Dan Mathews a puzzle to solve. It seems the Jarmin Manufacturing Company had their substantial payroll stolen. The question is just how did the thieves get in and out of the guarded facility. …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Destroy Seaview! TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Destroy Seaview! is the 26th and final outing for this successful science fiction show’s third year of televising. It begins with a surprising move when Admiral Harriman Nelson (Richard Basehart) inexplicably sets off an explosion that causes a cave in, thereby …
Devices and Desires - Part 4
Devices and Desires - Part 4 belongs to a little girl named Theresa Blaney, played by Lisa Ellis, who confides a secret. The young Theresa has an odd father who seems to love her but acts in a suspicious manner. It’s really hard to tell what’s going …
Makeover Story Tv Show
A Makeover story is a show on TLC where they pick a perosn or group of people who may not have the best fasion sense, and then help them get more fasionabble through a makeover. Its a pretty interesting show to watch, recently they pick two girls who were …
The Batman
I think The Batman is a pretty good show. I really do enjoy the show a lot and I think the Batman they have in this version is pretty cool. I must say I did like the voice of batman in the Batman the animated series cartoon from the old …
Changing Lanes: Finale TV Show
Changing Lanes presented its 8th and final show recently. The concept behind the limited series that aired on the BET channel was that Max Siegel had begun a team to participate in the NASCAR series. The team, called Revolution Racing, is designed to help move along the …
Fame: Street Kid
While not a personal favorite, Fame: Street Kid is one of the best episodes from season one. It has great acting, an engaging and thought-provoking storyline, and a really good song performance in it.
Valerie Landsburg gets the lead in this episode. It goes back to a previous show …
Crossroads with Pat Benatar and Martina McBride TV Show
Crossroads is a series from the Country Music Channel with brings together two performers from seemingly opposite music genres and has them perform together. In this case, the program featured rocker Pat Benatar and country star Martina McBride.
For me, the magic of Crossroads with Pat Benatar and Martina …
Psych TV Episode: Psy versus Psy
My daughter celebrated her 6th birthday this past weekend and, since we were throwing her a party that afternoon, I had to do quite a bit of cleaning in the morning.
While cleaning, I had our TV on and was able to watch a marathon of old episodes of the …
Lingo (Game Show)
One of the shows I like to watch once in awhile on the Game Show Network is Lingo. Two teams of two people compete against each other. They try to guess 5-letter words, and the first letter of that word is given. If one team doesn’t …
Kingdom Hospital Television Series
The miniseries “Kingdom Hospital”, was possibly one of the most disappointing Stephen King films I have ever seen. It came across as tedious and of course, there was the lack of dark humor which I expected it to have, being that I heard that it was taken from a …
Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 22 - The Wedding
The show is over. Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 22 — The Wedding is the final episode of this navy drama. The sad part is that no one knew that at the time of the taping. Therefore, it has that typical cliffhanger ending that would never be …
That Girl: That Cake
One of the funnier and delightful episodes of the final season, That Girl: That Cake has Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) as Miss Everything, filming a spot about baking a dessert to be presented that evening to the New York State governor. It’s a comical shoot, with Woodrow Parfrey …
Stargate SG-1: Unending
Let me say this upfront and let me be perfectly clear. I watched this episode on the internet and then when it aired on television. I will never, ever watch it again, unless it is to make an edited copy, but I just don’t even see me …
Orchestra United: Episode 1 TV Show
James Lowe, successful British conductor, wants to draw young people into the world of the orchestra and classical music. To do so, he’ll form a band of 75 kids from the greater Manchester area and prep them for a performance at a famous hall called Bridgewater. This …
Doctor Who: Season 3, Episode 8: 42
The TARDIS arrives on a vessel that is badly damaged and drifting towards a nearby sun. They have only 42 minutes to get everything up and running if they want to survive.
Now, at first glance, this seems like a simple solution, just load everyone into the …
Highway Patrol: Confidence Game TV Show
From December 1958, its fourth and final season on television, Highway Patrol: Confidence Game was somewhat entertaining. My only big peeve is that it’s another diner setup for the crime, and that’s something that Highway Patrol has done repeatedly over the years.
In the case of Confidence Game, we’re …
Stargate SG-1: Redemption
It’s so hard to write much good about the season six episodes of Stargate SG-1. Without the Daniel Jackson character, the team just wasn’t there. He was the heart and soul of the SGC.
Stargate SG-1: Redemption is the first episode of the sixth season. This is …
High School of the Dead Anime Series
I have never been a fan of anything that features zombie. But I happened to watch High School of the Dead because I want to watch something new in the world of anime and zombies in anime are not as scary as the “real” zombies in movies or TV …
Big Bang Theory TV show
I can’t believe that for the last few years I have not been watching Big Bang Theory. I heard about it, but the description of the show did not seem appealing to me at all. I sounded like just another one of those “time wasting” sitcoms.
One day, when …
Stargate SG-1: The Powers That Be
Stargate SG-1: The Powers That Be continues the forced journey into Vala land, a place I really don’t want to go. The only good thing is that she’s dressed in BDUs, thereby finally covering the part of her body that she so unmercifully thrusts upon viewers way too …
Stargate SG1: Ex Deus Machina
This episode starts out with Daniel briefing the others about a Jaffa who was found dead on a road in Edison, Virginia. Teal’c recognizes the symbol as belonging to Lord Yu. Since his downfall, many have pledged their allegiance to Gerek. Teal’c says he will speak …
Spongebob Squarepants Season One - Help Wanted
This is the very first pilot episode of Spongebob when it first came out. I think that this was a great first episode. Spongebob goes out to a local restaurant, The Krusty Krab, trying to get hired. He is asked to find a rare spatula, and …
Star Trek: Turnabout Intruder TV Show
What a horrible way to go out. The legendary Star Trek series ended its three year run on NBC on June 3, 1969 with a show called Turnabout Intruder. In this show, one of Kirk’s old flames wants revenge for him leaving her, so she actually uses …
Myth Busters
I like cable so much better that I do regular Television. There is such a better mix of material on cable than on regular television. One series that is on television is called Myth Busters.
There is this group of men and women that gather together to break …
The Simpsons: I (annoyed grunt) bot.
Last night wasn’t the first time I’ve seen the Simpsons episode “I (annoyed grunt) bot.” But, it was the first time in a while and I realized I didn’t remember anything about it.
This episode was actually very funny because it had two great storylines.
First, you have Lisa’s cat, Snow …
“Extreme Makeover : Home Edition” (Tv show)
I absolutely love “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition”! This show really spotlights people in need and that there are people out there that want to help them. Everytime I watch this TV program, I cry. Not so much that Im sad, but for the fact that I am so happy …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Primeval
OK, I officially can’t wait until we finish the fourth season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. This season has been absolutely terrible and the episode “Primeval” didn’t exactly help matters.
This episode has the final battle with Adam. Early on, we learn he wants to create more human/demon cyborgs. That …
Wagon Train: The Jed Whitmore Story
Wagon Train: The Jed Whitmore Story is an intriguing episode of this series. The very unique Neville Brand stars as Jed Whitmore, a one time train robber who is now a sheriff of Stringtown. He goes by the name of Frank Lewis and has a wife and …
Highway Patrol: Deadly Diamonds TV Show
From December 1958, Highway Patrol: Deadly Diamonds was an okay half hour, but the entertainment value wasn’t as strong as some other outings simply because it’s a stale plot. We’ve seen jewelry thieves on the show before, and we’ve also seen three person teams.
Frankly, the set up for …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Inca Mummy Girl
I’m usually not a big fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes when they go off track and don’t even mention vampires. But, I did like the episode Inca Mummy Girl.
I liked this episode, which has the gang tracking down an ancient mummy after the seal keeping her inanimate …
That Girl: Leaving the Nest Is for the Birds
That Girl: Leaving the Nest Is for the Birds features Jerry Van Dyke in one of his better roles in my opinion. The brother of the amazing Dick Van Dyke, I’ve never been that impressed by Jerry. There are only a few roles that I’ve really enjoyed …
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 …
Cougartown
At first I didn’t like the series Cougartown. Basically it’s about a woman who has recently got a divorce, she is juggling her life which includes a kid, ex husband and friends that don’t get along and then to top it off she starts to date younger men. …
Psych: You can’t Handle this Episode
Well, when the new episode of Psych came out and I heard it starred pro wrestler John Cena, I was definitely intrigued. I didn’t expect it to be a pretty decent episode.
This one is a bit sad to be honest, not only is Shawn’s girlfriend (who I just realized …
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 …
One Life to Live - June 9, 2010 TV Show
I remember actually watching the premier episode of One Life to Live. It became my favorite soap opera and remained that way for many years. Then the show turned its back on its history, and now I may watch five shows a year, if that. One …
Drake & Josh: Really Big Shrimp
I’ve never been able to get into the television show “Drake & Josh.” However, whenever they have made a TV movie, I’ve found it to be entertaining.
Their lastest movie, Really Big Shrimp, is the same way. From what I can tell, it’s meant to put closure to the series…showing …
