South Park - Eat, Pray, Expell Air
First, I don’t know if the last word of this title was offensive or might have been thought of sensitive, so I just cut it out of the title and the rest of the review. If you have seen the episode, you will understand what the word is, so …
Checkmate: Face in the Window TV Show
I enjoyed the opening of this episode of Checkmate. The episode title is Face in the Window, and we see the face through the window as we meet the main characters, shopping. They have a fun, carefree chat about a statue which symbolizes happiness. The man …
Sea Hunt: Cross Current TV Show
Sea Hunt’s third season saw an episode called Cross Current as it’s 19th outing. Airing in May 1960, this show had some very interesting movements in the water, with Mike Nelson drifting and being turned and tossed. We’ve seen some of this before, but I love the …
Star Trek: The Lights of Zetar TV Show
Montgomery Scott (James Doohan) falls in love in Star Trek: The Lights of Zetar. He’s completely smitten with Lt. Mira Romaine (Jan Shutan). We know it’s a doomed romance. They never do well, not even if you get married. After all, Spock got divorced, Kirk’s …
Dexter
Dexter
Dexter is one of the best TV shows out there. Unfortunately some people have a problem with it. There is no doubt that the show’s topic is controversial, but some people miss the important point. This show is a typical hero story, just like Batman or Superman- the only …
A Taste for Death - Part 4
Sadly, A Taste for Death - Part 4 is too slow and uninteresting to float my entertainment boat. The pace is one of a crawl, even with the discovery that Inspector Adam Dagliesh (Roy Marsden) makes. Murder mysteries can be long in the tooth, but this tale …
Trust (Starhunter Episode)
Trust is a bit better of a Starhunter episode than the one that preceded it: Peer Pressure. Here the villains of the day are a bit less annoying, and a bit more sinister. I also really like the concept behind the new prison: a completely automated prison …
The Virginian: The Strange Quest of Claire Bingham TV Show
From April 1967, The Virginian: The Strange Quest of Claire Bingham was the final episode of the fifth season. After an amusing opening scene with James Drury as The Virginian and a couple of odd and end scenes, including an action oriented chase of a Medicine Bow posse, …

National Geographic Wild is a show about animals. This particular episode of the show was about the deadliest animals and Central America. They show aired on Nat Geo Wild, a new channel recently created by National Geographic. This show is about animals that live between southern …
Wagon Train: A Man Called Horse
I have to say I was totally surprised by Wagon Train: A Man Called Horse and not in a good way. The main part of my shock is the main guest star, Ralph Meeker. I don’t know much about Meeker, but I’d always heard he was a …
The Truth About George by P.G. Wodehouse
“The Truth About George” is the first episode in the “Wodehouse Playhouse” series I started reviewing recently. In this episode George Mulliner (John Alderton) a noted solver of crossword puzzles and notorious stammerer, falls in love with Susan Blake (Pauline Collins, cute as always and in all ways) whom …
The X-Files Terms of Endearment Episode
I think this was one of the episodes of the popular 90s American television series “The X-Files” which I found most memorable and interesting. I didn’t find it to be particularly scary or gruesome either, but I still found it to be a good watch. I also saw the …
Chasing Mummies: Robbed TV Show
Chasing Mummies: Robbed go right to the action with the famous archaeologist, Zahi Hawass, making a discovery of a previously unearthed sarcophagus with a mummy inside of it. I do enjoy the history that I learn from this show, and actually, I like watching to see how the …
Diagnosis Murder: Amnesia TV Show
Dick Van Dyke is back for episode two of Diagnosis Murder, this one entitled Amnesia. This was a show I rarely missed in its first run. The show begins with a neat scene between Dr. Mark Sloan and his detective son, Steve, who is played by Van …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Twenty-Four Hours at North Fork
I find the opening scene of Twenty-Four Hours at North Fork extremely funny. Just one week after having Paladin so serious about marriage with a lady doctor, we see him back to his playboy self. It’s just hysterical because it opens up almost like a covert ops …
Stargate SG1: Beast of Burden
When Chaka is grabbed by a bunch of hunters, Daniel blames himself. Seems he had been videotaping the planet and had left an energy bar for Chaka. Because Chaka went for the energy bar, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time and Daniel feels …
Eureka Seven episode 38
How simple and petty our desires are before they reach metamorphosis and become larger than the very universe where we call our home and province of there forth. This is Eureka Seven episode 38 “Date of Birth”, a simple misunderstanding fallowing in an argument that will strength the bonds …
The Fall Guy: That’s Right, We’re Bad TV Show
The Fall Guy: That’s Right, We’re Bad has that classic bit that ends up included in the opening theme, where Colt Seavers (Lee Majors) is trying to take a bath and everyone under the sun keeps coming in. It’s humorous. There’s a reason for it, of course, …
Star Trek: Voyager - Mortal Coil
Star Trek: Voyager - “Mortal Coil” is one of my favorite episodes of the series. In this episode, Neelix faces a crisis of faith after he dies and is brought back to life using Seven’s Borg nanoprobes. Neelix however is terribly disturbed because while he was dead, he saw …
CHiPs: Cry Wolf
The opening teaser in CHiPs: Cry Wolf is memorable and funny, not for the actual plot, but because they show stock footage of Station 51 from Emergency! responding. Then when we get to the scene and it’s a different engine and squad and it’s now numbered ‘519′. …
That 70’s show
We like to watch television while we are eating dinner. We like the back ground noise. We usually watch That 70’s show.
I like Red and Kitty, they make such a good match to each other, Red is this supposably touch guy and Kitty as his …
The Good Wife: Cleaning House TV Show
The Good Wife: Cleaning House is a pretty good hour of drama in many ways. Below are a few things that stood out to me about this particular episode.
–There are some really good moments with Alicia’s former co-worker, Cary Argos (Matt Czuchry) questioning her over something that has …
CBS Vs ABC
Mabe it is just me ,but I have lived long enough to know the beginning of Soaps on both ABC and CBS.The ones on CBS started when I was a child and I guess I just weaned myself from them.
I started watching the soaps on ABC which most came …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Fool for Love
Well, it only took a couple of seasons but we are finally finding out a bit more about the vampire character Spike. In the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode Fool for Love, we get a lot of flashbacks to his past. We learn he was called William the Bloody …
What not to Wear
What not to wear, after 250 episodes, somehow manages to still be one of my favorite things to watch on television. In each episode, one fashion challenged person is nominated by his or her friends for a trip to New York, a fashion consultation with Stacy London and …
Johnny Bravo
The show “Johnny Bravo” was one of my favorite shows on Cartoon Network in the late 90s and early 2000s. In fact, I liked it better than the shows “Cow and Chicken” and “Dexter’s Laboratory” which were also popular shows which aired around that time on Cartoon Network. I …
Sea Hunt: Capture of the Santa Rosa TV Show
Sea Hunt: Capture of the Santa Rosa aired in July 1958. It’s a story that evolves around Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) assisting with the rescue of a Latin American diplomat who has been kidnapped along with his wife. The two are being held on a boat called …
Millionaire Match Maker show
If you think you’ve seen all the love reality shows, you might have missed Millionaire Match Maker. Unlike all the other reality shows where people are “looking for love”, this one features primarily the world’s richest and most successful men. On occasion they may attempt to match …
Psych: The head, the tail, the whole damn episode
My wife and I finally got around to watching last week’s episode of Psych (which we recorded Wednesday because we had other shows on that we wanted to watch instead). It was an OK episode, but much like many of the other episodes this season, could have been better.
This …
Gilligan’s Island - Gilligan’s Living Doll TV Show
Here we have Gilligan being his usual self in this episode. He actually gets on my nerves a little bit through his playing around and causing minor but irritating problems. But he does come up with creative solutions to problems so he makes up for his pesky joking around …
Psych: He loves me, he loves me not, he loves me, oops, he’s Dead
I ended up finishing my Psych mini-marathon last night by watching the season 1 episode “He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not, He Loves Me; Oops, He’s Dead.” Yes, I know that’s a long title for an episode (something that is somewhat common with this series), but it turned …
Hawaii Five-O: One for the Money
Hawaii Five-O: One for the Money is a psychological drama surrounding one family. It’s never been a favorite of mine, but it does have some good acting in it.
Jeanette Nolan guest stars as the wealthy aunt of two men, played by Farley Granger and Paul Collins. Collins …
Burn Notice: Bad Breaks
Burn Notice: Bad Breaks is a so-so episode in my book. It’s not one that really zings my interest button, but there is some decent acting and a somewhat interesting plot. It might be more fun for regular fans of the show, people who watched it during …
Heroes TV Series
This is the greatest tv series ever! I love the story, I always love sci-fi movies, this is one of the best. I love the characters, so many of them and so little time, one hour is not enough! Good guys, bad guys, between good and …
Stargate SG-1: Evolution Part 2
Stargate SG-1: Evolution Part 2 didn’t give Jack and Daniel fans what they wanted at the beginning. In reality, it gave us a nauseating soap opera scene that was completely out of character for Jack O’Neill. In the history of the show, when someone has needed help, …
Home Improvement: Adios
Since there wasn’t anything really worth watching on TV yesterday afternoon, I ended up watching Home Improvement re-runs; including the one where Randy leaves the show to go to Costa Rica.
This was the first time I have seen this episode (though I have heard about it) and I have …
The X-Files: 4-D
A vicious serial killer flitting between alternate realities to live out his sinister fantasies without retribution is the premise of this episode.
This is a solid enough episode, and one of the first to really seal the new pairing of Doggett and Reyes as something to take notice of. Both …
Clueless
The movie version fo Clueless was such a hit that of course the television executives tried to find a way to capitalise on it, bringing into existence Clueless the television series.
Now while this series was okay and by okay I mean bearable, watchable but not good, it lacked in …
The Virginian: The Price of Love TV Show
The Virginian: The Price of Love was a seventh season show that aired back on February 12, 1969. It guest starred Pete Duel (who then used the Deuel spelling) as Denny Todd. This is his second appearance. In the prior season, he was an injured outlaw …
Laramie: Wolf Cub TV Show
This show, Wolf Cub from Laramie’s third season, features Robert Blake as the title character, who in the opening teaser is saved from being hunted by Earl Droody. Droody is played by the artful Arthur Hunnicutt. This character actor was always entertaining.
There is a beautiful scene between …
Criminal Minds S3 E6
Criminal Minds Season3 Epiode6- About Face
Yet another chilling episode. This one actually made me feel extra uncomfortable, because the criminal in this case was much similar to many people I actually know in the real life, even reminds me of an ex boyfriend. I don’t mean in terms of …
The Prisoner: Once Upon a Time
The Prisoner: Once Upon a Time is the second to the last episode of The Prisoner series. There were only 17 filmed. My understanding is that it was one of the most expensive shows to produce. I have no idea what its ratings were like and …

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig Episode 17 has Major Kusanagi in Taiwan investigating Kuze’s identity. She rescues a boy named Chai from Yakuza thugs and he tries to see if she can get him a fully prosthetic body.
This was one of the more interesting …

M*A*S*H: Say No More focuses on a wounded soldier at the 4077th. This brings the soldier’s father to the camp. General Addison Collins, played John Anderson, is gung-ho military. He’s everything that Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) detests, and one thing Hawkeye can’t stand is watching General …
“Broke” episode of The Office
I watched this episode of the office today, overall it was really good. One of the best I have seen so far. There were quite a few parts that were pretty funny. There were also some parts that made me smile and some ah ah moments. It showed everyone …
Dr. Phil
I don’t usually watch Dr. Phil because it comes on during the evening (at 7pm) when I’m usually out hanging with my friends at school or watching one of my favorite shows. However, whenever I do get the chance to watch it I find it interesting to see the …
Charter Communications
I have been wanting to do it for some time now but I’m finally taking the step and getting away from Charter for my television and internet needs.
The thing is, I’ve never been a fan of Charter to begin with. But, I’ve always been nervous about switching to direct …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Homecoming
Have Gun - Will Travel: Homecoming was a little different in some ways. As always, Richard Boone stars as the gunfighter named Paladin in this half-hour western series. Paladin hires out his gun, usually for a some of money that is quite large for the day. …
