The Andy Griffith Show: Andy the Marriage Counselor TV Show
From its first season on the air, The Andy Griffith Show: Andy the Marriage Counselor was a solid outing, more for its side gag than for the actual plot in my opinion.
When the show starts, we see Deputy Barney Fife reading “The Art of Judo” after which he goes …
The Simpsons Stark Raving Dad Season 3 Episode 1
In this episode Lisa reminds Bart that it will be her birthday and that every year he forgets, hearing this Bart vows to give her the best present ever. Meanwhile Homer is forced to wear a pink shirt to work when Bart washes his red hat in the white …
The Virginian: Girl on the Glass Mountain TV Show
From season 5 in 1966, The Virginian: Girl on the Glass Mountain was a fairly entertaining episode. I haven’t liked very many of the fifth season shows, but this one does okay. It revolves around a young woman who gets married and wants everything to be just …
Law & Order SVU TV Episode: Chameleon
Synopsis: The SVU team tries to prove a prostitute (who killed a man in self defense when he attempted to rape her) is really a serial killer who has killed at least three others.
What I liked about this episode: The prostitute they captured is very manipulative and it was …
MacGyver: Jack of Lies
I don’t like it, and I’ll say that up front. MacGyver: Jack of Lies is the first appearance of the Jack Dalton character. This guy is the same kind of character that Tom Selleck dealt with on Magnum P.I., the annoying chum that he can’t help but …
CHiPs: The Greatest Adventures of CHiPs
A couple of months after the second season of CHiPs ended, NBC put together a special two-hour event called The Greatest Adventures of CHiPs. I’m not sure what the intent was, if they just needed to feel a time slot and thought this was a way to do …
Super Mario World - Ghosts ‘R’ Us
Super Mario World - “Ghosts ‘R’ Us” is an episode that prominently features one of the video game’s most memorable and challenging aspects: the ghost house. Not only does this episode feature a ghost house, but it also has a Magikoopa, a type of villain introduced in the video …
Commander in Chief Television programme
Geena Davis was born to play the US President in ‘Commander in Chief’. Apart from maybe Thelma in ‘Thelma and Louise’, this is the best role she’s ever had. I’m not normally a fan of political programmes, but this one is accessible and understandable for the viewer, …
The People’s Court With Judge Marilyn Milian
Daily I look forward to sitting down comfortably and watching an episode of The People’s Court. The people’s court is presided over by Judge Marilyn Milian, and I couldn’t think of anyone better to do it. She has a little bit of an attitude complimented by a sassy, yet …
Baldwin Hills Season 2
I am a big fan of Baldwin Hills, I have watched all of season one and it was great, currently they are on season two.
I literally love the show, it’s too bad that they are on the last episode, the season finale is coming up and it should be …
The Steve Harvey Show (syndicated TV show)
For the six seasons that this show was on the air, I actually enjoyed most of it. In watching the reruns, I can actually see how very corny this program was (and still is.) First of all, Steve Harvey’s brand of comedy was pretty funny in the …
Bones Season 5: Harbingers in the Fountain
I waited excitedly for the first episode of Bones Season 5. The blogs were buzzing that Cyndi Lauper was going to be the episode’s guest as a psychic and this added to my excitement. I have not seen her seen the 80s when Girls Just Wanna have Fun days …
The Veil: The Doctors TV Show
One thing I really like about this anthology series called The Veil is the authenticity I feel from it. I think that comes from it being a product of Hal Roach. The sets are very detailed and even remarkable. Even the costumes seem to fit the …
Monk TV show
Monk is a whodunit detective show with a comedic twist and a little light drama all bundled up as an Emmy hit. Tony Shalhoub plays the title character Adrian Monk to perfection.
Adrian Monk is a former San Francisco Police Detective who was decommissioned after his wife was …
Colbert Report
This is what a satirical news program should be. While the Daily Show is quickly losing its edge, the Colbert Report is on fire. A more direct parody of the O’Reilly Factor in particular and Fox News Channel in general (this is obvious the second the opening …
M*A*S*H: Henry, Please Come Home
After the 4077’s efficiency rating reaches 90%, Colonel Henry Blake (McLean Stevenson) is transferred to Tokyo in M*A*S*H: Henry, Please Come Home. At first, everyone is happy for their friend and former commanding officer, but when Major Frank Burns (Larry Linville) takes command and makes their lives miserable, …
CHiPs: Dog Gone
I do get a kick out of this Dog Gone episode of CHiPs. Dog Gone is the third episode and as the title indicates, there’s a dog at the core of it all. It starts out with this adorable pooch wreaking havoc on the highway. Jon …
Stargate SG1: Upgrades
When Anise, a member of the Tok’ra, arrives at the SGC with some alien armbands, she asks that they be tested on humans. Seems that they will not work on any other physiology. Anise wants to study them and see what can happen, or so she says.
Jack …
Lost Blanket (In the Night Garden series)
My 19-month old daughter is a fan of the popular children’s TV series, In the Night Garden. We even bought some DVDs for her the other day. Then we saw the book version of the show and she instantly recognised the characters and smiled when she saw it. So …
Soundstage Presents Josh Groban TV Show
Popular singer Josh Groban was the featured performer on this rendition of the PBS series Soundstage. It’s a great showcasing of talent in a much more intimate setting than we often get to see. Actually, this is something Groban addresses after his opening song. It’s a …
Stargate SG-1: Divide and Conquer
Divide is exactly what Stargate SG-1: Divide and Conquer did to SG-1 fandom, and it didn’t conquer anything. All it did was sever the fandom even more.
Stargate SG-1: Divide and Conquer is the upsetisode that took footage from the previous Upgrades episode to serve the purposes of this …
CSI Season 3 Episode 7- Fight Night
CSI Season 3 Episode 7- Fight Night
It was a good episode, although I felt like the over complicated it a bit. There were just so many cases. The main case, although interesting when they find the variety of evidence that links several people to the defeat of the boxer, …
M*A*S*H: Hey, Doc
M*A*S*H: Hey, Doc is best remembered for the closing segments of the show which for me is the one real reason for staying tuned to this half-hour program. Not every show can be stellar all the way through, and this one has a couple of little gaps in …
Khana Khazana
The Khana Khazana is the name of the cookery show, which is being telecasted on the Zee TV. The Khana khazana is a different kind of cookery show because by watching this programme we can learn how to cook and we can also learn some very good tips. …
Destination Truth: Island of the Dolls/Lusca
After watching Destination Truth last week for the first time, I couldn’t wait for last night’s episode “Island of the Dolls/Lusca.” It did not disappoint.
Even my wife, who didn’t get a chance to watch the show with me last week, was impressed.
The first case on this one was definitely …
Star Trek: Enterprise - These are the Voyages…
Star Trek: Enterprise - These are the Voyages… is the final episode of the fifth Star Trek series and the final episode of Star Trek’s nearly twenty year run on television. From 1987 to 2005, there was always a Star Trek series or two running, but 2005 ended that …
CHiPs The Complete First Season DVD Set
I’m very glad I’ve added the CHiPs The Complete First Season DVD Set to my collection. The show stars Erik Estrada, Larry Wilcox, and Robert Pine, among others, and is about a unit of the California Highway Patrol. The shows are a hour long and are mostly …
The League of Gentlemen - Series One
The League of Gentlemen is a strange show. Set in the fictional, northern town of Royston Vasey populated by a rabble of bizarre individuals; the show, superficially, appears a traditional enough sitcom. But it’s not.
Rather than jump between sketches, putting the same old faces through the same old …
Gilligan’s Island - Topsy-Turvy TV Show
I really liked this episode since we have actual headhunters on the island this time which is rare on this show. Again the Castaways are fighting for survival, and they actually prepare calmly and with some sort of order this time. But again Gilligan messes up, but his goof …
Friends, The Series
The TV series Friends is an absolute must watch in my opinion. This show is for anyone! It doesn’t matter how old you are even if you are young or old. My whole family loves this show too! I watch hours and hours of Friends everyday without getting …
Hawthorne: The Match TV Show
Hawthorne: The Match was a very intriguing and sometimes difficult show to watch because the subject matter was emotional and just tugged at your heartstrings. The big issue centered around the need to find a kidney match for two little girls, twins, who both had the need. …
Beast Wars - Other Victories
Beast Wars - Other Victories is the third to last episode of the series and loosely leads up to the series finale. For example, in this episode, the Predicon base is destroyed by the arrival of Tigerhawk and in the next episode, Megatron orders Inferno, Quickstrike and Waspinator to …
Angel Episode 1.1: City Of
I started watching Angel back in high school. It was still the first season, though I was unaware of that at the time. I lost track of it around mid-season 2 and never really caught up. With reruns airing on TNT, it gave me a chance …
Orange is The New Black, TV Show
Netflix is the best thing that could’ve happen to TV shows… and to us! Its plan of just giving us all the episodes at once is genius and with these project I think they’ve gotten even more popularity. This time, the creator of Weeds was the one chosen to bring …
The Prisoner: Anvil (2009) TV Show
From 2009, this third entry of the The Prisoner is called Anvil. In it, 2 (Ian McKellen) wants Six (James Caviezel) to work for him. This time, he agrees.
The job in question is to seek out dreamers, people who dream of life outside of the village. …
From the Earth to the Moon - Part 10: Galileo Was Right
From the Earth to the Moon - Part 10: Galileo Was Right is probably my second favorite episode of this HBO mini-series from 1998. I absolutely adore everything about it, and I’m not into science at all. Yet, this story that deals with the science of the …
Monk: Mr. Monk’s Favorite Show
I was looking forward to the season premiere of Monk this time around because I know it is the final season and I was excited about where they might take the show.
Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed in this episode.
It starts out with Monk and Natalie standing in line …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Singer
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Singer was an episode of this thirty-minute black and white western that I really enjoyed. Since the last few were ‘misses’ in my book, I enjoyed seeing this ‘hit’. It began with a brief moment of levity, one that occurred when …
The TV show prison break
The TV show prison break was an awesome show and it is a shame that it is not on the air anymore with new episodes. The show was simple to understand and the title explains what the whole show was based on and I couldn’t believe that they …
Death Note Episode 6
Death Note Episode 6 has a woman who was F.B.I. Agent Raye Pember’s fiancé, looking for the Kira Investigation trying to give them information on Kira. Meanwhile the Japanese Police Task Force meets L in person and he gives them more clues about the identity of Kira.
This …
Dancing with the Stars - 3/23/09
It was another entertaining Dancing with the Stars show as the celebrities danced for the judges and tried their best to avoid being eliminated. There were several highlights for me.
First, Ty Murray has really come a long way. This rodeo rider who began with two left feet …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: By the Numbers TV Show
From September 1992, the cable television series The Ray Bradbury Theater presented a show called By the Numbers which starred Ray Sharkey. The action begins with a lot of military like shouting, but then transports us to a train. It’s weird right off the bat as one …
Show Gone Country
CMT has come up with yet another interesting reality show with “Gone Country.” The premise of this original program is to groom performers from other genres of music into becoming successful country singers, with one of them going on to try for a country music career or , …
M*A*S*H: An Eye for a Tooth
I have to admit I really get a kick out of M*A*S*H: An Eye for a Tooth from season seven. It’s a show that focuses on humor via some practical jokes. Unlike some other episodes which have had prankster storylines that were over-the-job and almost boring, this …
Project Runway: Fashion Headliners
Last night’s Project Runway episode “Fashion Headliners” was definitely an interesting one but still a bit on the predictable side of things. The second Heidi said their project had something to do with the concept of black and white, I immediately thought of print and naturally it turned out …
Gilligan’s Island - Where There’s a Will TV Show
Mr. Howell takes center stage here which is like a breath of fresh airs so to speak, since Gilligan gets to take a step back from the main character. I was pleased with Howell’s acting skills in this episode despite the fact he ran around most of the show …
Remington Steele: Steele Trap TV Show
It seems incredible that a new program on TV like Remington Steele would have two very similar concepts done back to back, but that’s the case with this outing from season one called Steele Trap. Just before this show, there was another where Steele and Laura Holt were …
Fireball XL5: The Robot Freighter Mystery
Of the 39 episodes filmed of this children’s show, The Robot Freighter Mystery is one of the few that I don’t react to with lots of love. Fireball XL5 is just awesome as a series. Some of the stories have been very dramatic and realistic in their …
