Charmed Season 1 DVD

I like the concept of the show. …
Shatner’s Raw Nerve: John Edward
The latest edition of Shatner’s Raw Nerve featured psychic John Edward. This is the show where William Shatner has a one-on-one casual and unscripted conversation with someone, in this case Edward. I’ve found many of these shows to be pretty fascinating. This may be the first …
Batman: The Brave and the Bold: Deep Cover for Batman
There’s just so much in this episode to love. For the first time that I can recall, we actually get to see ALL the heroes working together. Ok, it’s their villainous counterparts from a parallel dimension, but we still get to see a full team as opposed …

Alias Smith and Jones: The Root of It All
There’s added enjoyment to Alias Smith and Jones: The Root of It All and that comes from the main guest star of the episode. Judy Carne, perhaps best known from Laugh-In and being the first wife of Burt Reynolds, appears here as Leslie O’Hara. However, it’s Carne’s …

Jail (MyATL program)
There seems to be an influx of programs on television today that focus on crime and criminals. This one focuses on the actual jail experience. This is a nice twist because most reality shows center on what goes on prior to the crime occurring, or while …
Charter Communications
OK, I know I have written about Charter Communications in the past and many of those reviews haven’t been very flattering. But, tonight really took the cake so I once again have to tell people about them.

The Twilight Zone: The Mind and the Matter TV Show

Venture Bros: Return to Malice
This episode was…interesting. 21, grief stricken over the death of his buddy, decides to get revenge on those he believes are responsible, namely, Hank and Dean.

Tila Tequila
Even though I am quite an anti-fan of Tila Tequila, I began watching her “Shot at Love” show with somewhat of an open mind.The first
few episodes revealed that her search for love was bisexual, and involved male and female contestants. After watching this and the “competitions”
involved, I decided I …

Felix the Cat in Bold King Cole cartoon

Stargate SG1: Prisoners
While this episode of Stargate SG1 was probably supposed to be dramatic, I found myself laughing through half of it. No, I was not laughing at the stupidity of the episode, like I have done with several television shows. Instead, I was laughing at their humor even …

Adam 12 - Log 112
“Adam-12″, Log 112, is a satisfying episode with some humor and some drama, making it a well rounded show.
The humor aspect comes in with the set up early on, when Officer Pete Malloy gets hit inside a bar during a disturbance call. The key is that he never …

Seinfeld is a comedy sitcom. I have been watching the re-runs of Seinfeld for years now and love the show as it always makes me laugh. This particular show ran for a little over ten years. It focuses on 4 best friends: Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer. Each character …
Cowboy Bebop Episode 23 (Anime)
Cowboy Bebop Episode 23 has Spike, Jet, Ed and Faye all after the leader of a strange cult after its members start committing suicide.

Sanford & Son (TV sitcom)
If you were alive and kicking in the 1970s, you will certainly remember this show, featuring one of the grouchiest men of all time - Fred Sanford. I found this program really funny because it was set at a junkyard. That was a very different setting for …

Ally Macbeal, The Video

Stargate SG-1: It’s Good to be King
Stargate SG-1: It’s Good to be King is the show that I consider to be the last real team show of SG-1. It’s truly the last time we get to see SG-1 off-world, together, including Jack. It’s a regular-type mission that ends well and that has all …
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 …
Big Bang Theory: The Financial Permeability

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Skin of Evil
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Skin of Evil is an enjoyable episode that features a rarity on a Star Trek show: the death of a main character. Now, granted, the only reason this main character died is because the person wanted to leave the show, but the writers …

American Inventor TV show
I must admit that when i first heard that the people behind American Idol were trying to bring out a show called American Inventor, i thought they were trying too hard. However, i watched that show and they really pulled it together well. They made you believe in the …
The Next Iron Chef: Resourcefulness TV Show
I had to chuckle very early on The Next Iron Chef: Resourcefulness because after host Alton Brown informs them about the challenge and prepares to give them the ‘go’, the chefs all hunch down, like getting ready to run a marathon. Seriously, I don’t think I’ve seen that …
A Man Called Hawk: Passing the Bar
Avery Brooks stars in the title role in A Man Called Hawk: Passing the Bar, the fourth show of this series only season. If the character sounds familiar, you probably watched Spenser for Hire because this program is a spin off from that one. In fact, author Robert …

Radar O’Reilly’s (Gary Burghoff) love for animals really starts to become a bigger part of things in M*A*S*H: Private Charles Lamb. We’ve already seen his animal pin where he takes care of an assortment of critters, but now we see how far he’ll go to protect all animals, …
CSI Season 8, Episode 8
I was fairly surprised by this episode of CSI because it was a lot better than I thought it would be. The episode itself mainly takes place in the fantasy world and some of the favorite characters barely appear at all. Hodges in the lab gathers up all the …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Two: Frankendoodle
I would have to say that this is one of the worst Spongebob Squarepants episodes I have ever seen. I am a huge fan of Spongebob, but I truly feel like this one was a disappointment big time. In this episode, a pencil falls from the sky in lands …
Undercover Boss - UK: Harry Ramsden’s TV Show
This UK version of Undercover Boss was the first to feature a female executive that I know of. The U.S.A. version didn’t use a female in its first season at all. The woman in question was Marija Simovic, Chief Executive Officer for Harry Ramsden’s, said to be …
Spongebob: Blackened Sponge
As I mentioned in another review today, I am watching Spongebob Squarepants with my daughter today and came across another episode of the show I thought was really funny, the one entitled Blackened Sponge.
Basically, in this episode, Spongebob is brushing his teeth and, in an effort to remove the …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 42: Bustman’s Holiday
After the heavy, serious tone of the Cthulu episode, we get a more lighthearted adventure. It may not be as epic as the last episode, but it is certainly enjoyable in its own right. In fact, the humor is actually quite welcome.
This episode takes the team to …
Psych : Lights, Camera, Homicidio
While this episode of Psych wasn’t quite as good as many others, I will admit Lights, Camera, Homicidio was a cute one.

Have Gun - Will Travel: Fandango TV Show
I just love the title of this fourth season episode of Have Gun - Will Travel. It’s called Fandango, which in this case means tomfoolery. It intrigued me from the start.
Leonid Kinskey has a bit part as Yevgeny. He was playing chess with Paladin in San …
The Office 2008 Halloween Episode
I love the OFFICE on NBC. This has been a favorite of mine for several years, and I never miss an episode thanks to DVR! Last nite I stayed up late to watch my recently recorded new episode of The Office, starring Steve Carrell. Wow, it was great! I …
