Come Dine With Me TV show
Come Dine With Me is one of those TV shows that I originally would have run a mile to get away from, but which I am slowly finding myself being drawn into. The setup is really pretty simple, in that a small group of chefs (amateur ones rather than …

Caprica 1×01
So i just watched this, and felt like giving reviewing it. First of all, this is no Battlestar. I felt it was dry, boring, and very uninteresting. Premieres should start off with a bang and build your excitement to continue watching the rest of the series, and I found …

Mork & Mindy: A Mommy for Morky
There isn’t much on TV today so I found myself watching re-runs of Mork & Mindy most of the morning. It’s been a while since I’ve seen the show but the episode “A Mommy for Morky,” reminded me of everything that I missed about the series.
I don’t remember Mindy …
The Fresh Prince of Bel Air
I love to watch the television show The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. The show stars Will Smith and it is absolutely hilarious. This show came out in the early 90s and I have been watching it since way back then. I use to watch it all the time …
Gilligan’s Island - Quick Before It Sinks TV Show
This episode is interesting, yes another survival scenario which I find they are more thought out than other shows. Especially with all the inventions the professor comes up with. Like in this episode not just the professor comes up with the hut ark, but also the women do too. …

Most Shocking (TruTV)
Crime shows and forensic shows really appeal to me because they showcase the realistic aspect of human nature. But the shows that really amp up the action are the “Most Shocking” programs that feature different aspects of shocking things that happen amongst ordinary citizens. Sometimes …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Here There Be Tygers TV Show
The Ray Bradbury Theater: Here There Be Tygers is a tale of exploration as astronauts land on a new world. We actually learn the meaning of the title very early on, and it is perhaps a hint of what the story that follows will be like.
The series aired …
The Fall Guy: License to Kill: Part 1 TV Show
Midway through its first season, The Fall Guy presented a two part episode which turned out to be the best of the season to that point. License to Kill: Part 1 was the most intriguing episode, the first one that all these years later, I really wanted to …

Spongebob Squarepants: Scaredy Pants
Now that Halloween is coming up, there are plenty of Halloween movies and television episodes on TV. One of those shows is Spongebob Squarepants: Scaredy Pants.
The episode is pretty interesting, in my opinion. It’s Halloween night and everyone in Bikini Bottom goes out of their way to scare Spongebob …
Project Runway: Eye Candy
Every year, Project Runway comes up with an extraordinary challenge for its contestants. Once it was garbage, another time was plants. This year, in the episode Eye Candy, it was candy.

TV Show: Raising Hope
My wife and I were watching the show Glee for the first time the other night and, after that show was over, a newer one called Raising Hope came on the air.

Neon Genesis Evangelion episode 12

M*A*S*H: Last Laugh
M*A*S*H: Last Laugh is just too vaudeville and slapstick for me to enjoy very much. It’s such low quality compared to the excellency of the prior show that it’s even disappointing.
There are a couple of plots going on, neither of which held my interest. The main story centered …

Stargate SG-1: Heroes Part 1 has some great moments in it. The premise is that the SGC is being documented. It’s the one-thousandth trip through the Stargate, and they want history to know how the Stargate has helped to shape and save the future.
To that end, a …
Wagon Train: The Zeke Thomas Story

Have Gun - Will Travel: A Head of Hair TV Show
From season four, Have Gun - Will Travel: A Head of Hair deals with Paladin, a kidnapped white woman, a Sioux guide, and the dangerous Nez Perce Indians. I have issues with this episode, though parts of it are also very good.
It opens with gayly when Paladin …
M*A*S*H: A War for All Seasons
M*A*S*H: A War for All Seasons goes through the year1951 told in one thirty-minute show, which further points out how crazy it is that this show lasted almost five times the length of the actual war, which went from 1950-1953. This would mean that the first eight seasons …
Lost: Because You Left: The Lie
I am always happy when a series I’ve been watching comes back on the air, but there are certain shows which carry more of that certain type of joy. “Lost” is one of them. The season premier of Lost; “Because You Left: The Lie” is two hours long and …
Fraggle Rock: Beginnings
I was browsing movie options at Netflix for our Netflix player and came across season 1 of the show Fraggle Rock. So, I loaded it for our oldest daughter, who is always looking for something to watch after school.

Bring ‘Em Back Alive: The Best of Enemies
What can I say about Bring ‘Em Back Alive: The Best of Enemies? Not much that is good, that’s for sure. This adventure series continues to be sub-par. Star Bruce Boxleitner didn’t have enough sparkle to keep the show dazzling along, and the co-stars were almost …
The Wendy Williams talk show
I really didn’t expect this. But I absolutely LOVE the Wendy Williams show. And apparently, a lot of other people feel the same way. Her show which debuted officially in July of 2009 just seems to get better and better. She calls herself …
The Ray Bradbury Theater: The Tombstone TV Show
I had a really hard time getting through this episode of The Ray Bradbury Theater. The episode title is The Tombstone, which aired originally in October 1992. The half hour tale starred Shelley Duvall as Leota Bean. I’ve never been much of a fan, though …
Spacelift: Transporting Trek into the 21st Century featurette
Spacelift: Transporting Trek into the 21st Century is a really interesting and intriguing featurette about how Paramount Studios created the remastered Star Trek series for DVD release. The digitally enhanced three seasons of this legendary series was released circa 2004. I was totally enthralled in how this …
Dexter TV show
When I first considered watching this TV series I was pretty much reluctant since I don’t care for criminal TV shows involving police stories catching serial killers and all the other criteria.
Imagine my shock when I became addicted to a new kind of criminal, a funny and gothic like …

Ghost Hunters: Domani’s & The County Jail
After seeing the St. Augustine Lighthouse episode minutes before, the Ghost Hunters episode Domani’s and The County Jail proved to be a bit of a disappointment.

The Twilight Zone: The Odyssey of Flight 33 TV Show
I really enjoy watching The Twilight Zone: The Odyssey of Flight 33. It’s full of intrigue. What I like in part is how the entire story takes place on an airplane. It’s really up to the actors who play the pilot and crew to make the …
Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmem
“Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmem” is a Travel Channel show I started watching close to a year ago. To be honest, there are times when I can barely stand to look at it, but, at the same time, it is just fascinating to me that this man will …

Highway Patrol: Released Convict is a nice little show that is relatively entertaining. It’s all about a parolee who finally decides to try and dig up a quarter of a million dollars that he’s had hidden since before his arrest. He’s been on the obedient side of …
True Blood 3.5 “Trouble”
The fifth episode of True Blood’s third season, “Trouble”, unfortunately proved to me once again that this season lacks the steam of the previous season. This might be due to the large number of subplots; despite the recent merging of some of them, namely the overly creepy Franklin being …
