Simpsons Treehouse of Horror XIII
As far as the Simpsons Treehouse of Horrors episodes go, most of the later ones are kind of dumb and don’t really have a whole lot to do with Halloween. One of the few exceptions to this is Treehouse of Horrors XIII.
The first skit on the show, where Homer …
Sea Hunt: Operation Greenback TV Show
Sea Hunt: Operation Greenback was an interesting show. I actually kept wondering if it was done a bit like MacGyver which always kept something back when explaining how to make something that could be dangerous. In this episode, Mike Nelson, the expert deep sea diver played by …
Probe: Quit-It
Probe: Quit-It is the last episode of this scientific crime drama, and that was a shame. I really liked the relationship between the two stars, Parker Stevenson as Austin James and Ashley Crow as Michelle Castle. They were young and refreshing, and the way they solved crimes …
Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?
This has got to be the stupidest of all the prime-time quiz shows. I’ve got to admit that I’m not a big fan of the all these new quiz shows, and I don’t really understand their appeal. The title actually gives you an elevated idea of the content — …
Fargo (crime drama series)
After Breaking Bad, it was a little hard to find another crime drama that I thought would measure up to its suspense and success. However, after someone I knew recommended the series Fargo, I realised that I just had to try it. I had to know why so many people …
Cody Lyoko
The first time I ever heard of the French animated television series “Code Lyoko” was some years ago when I saw it advertising on the cable television channel Cartoon Network. At first, I neither paid much attention to the advertisements nor watched the series since I was very busy …
Beast Wars - A Better Mousetrap
Beast Wars - A Better Mousetrap is an episode that primarily focuses on Rattrap, although the episode also provides newcomers Blackarachnia and Tigertron with some material that allows their characters to be fleshed out a bit more. This episode is also a treat in the respect that much like …
The Night the World Ended
As I mentioned in another review, I’m introducing my wife to the classic television show Alfred Hitchcock Presents. One of the episodes I got her to watch with me last night was the episode “The Night the World Ended.” This one turned out to be one of the better …
Whoopi: Airplane! TV Show
It’s the fear of flying, and yes, actual flying, that is at the core of Whoopi: Airplane! from 2004. The ladies are playing their usual weekly poker game and the topic of their yearly getaway game came up. It had already been decided that they’d go to …
That Girl: That Senorita
There’s an odd thing that I noticed in That Girl: That Senorita. It’s the fifth season and while things began to ease up in the fourth season, in this one things are definitely looser in tone and style. It’s a sign of the times in which That …
Little House on the Prairie
I don’t know why but I like to watch Little House on the Prairie. I like it so much I actually bought “I’ll be Waving as You Drive Away”. I don’t know why but the series always made me smile.
The Ingalls family is considered to be poor but …
TV Guide Network
There is one thing that annoys me about the TV Guide network. When I want the channels to scroll faster, I realize just how slow it is. When I am actually trying to read what a program is about, it seems it flies up the …
Diagnosis Murder: Murder at the Telethon TV Show
Diagnosis Murder: Murder at the Telethon had Community General Hospital hosting its first annual emergency room telethon. It was raise money through the telethon or shut down. To me, it’s an amusing way to bring in some interesting guest stars, such as Dom Deluise. He plays …
Bones: Mayhem on a Cross
Last night’s episode of Bones, “Mayhem on a Cross” was, for lack of a better word, disappointing.
Normally, the idea of finding real human remains as part of a stage prop for a heavy metal band would be kind of cool. But, somehow, I feel the show kind of ruined …
That Girl: Anatomy of a Blunder
One of the changes from the original pilot and the actual show is that the Maries had already met Don Hollinger, Ann Marie’s boyfriend, in that first show. In this show, Anatomy of a Blunder, Ann and Donald are going to Brewster, New York for him to …
Mr. Monk and the Foreign Man
I tuned into the latest Monk episode Friday expecting to find him working on a case that would bring him closer to solving Trudy’s murder. Instead, I was disappointed to learn that wouldn’t be the case.
However, the episode was definitely interesting.
You have two cases going on. One involves the …
The Twilight Zone: The Trouble with Templeton TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Trouble with Templeton is another one of the many shows where a person finds solace in their past. Sometimes these outings end up positively and sometimes not. I like this one because it comes with a bit of a message that is …
Columbo: A Friend in Deed TV Show
Directed by actor Ben Gazzara, who doesn’t appear in the show at all, Columbo: A Friend in Deed has always been one of the outings of this crime drama that I just don’t like. In the first place, none of the guest stars are appealing to me, especially …
The Ricky Gervais Show - Channel 4
Something new from Ricky Gervais. I recall the first time I saw him on the 11 o’clock show on Channel 4 and I thought he was one of the worst t.v comedians that I had seen. The office brought him back for me though and everything else since, especially …
Psych
As much as I like the show Psych, I was commenting to my wife the other day that the characters don’t seem to spend as much time trying to pretend he’s psychic than they did in the past. So, this episode, There’s Some thing about Mira, was really refreshing.
First, …
Anselm Gets His Chance by P.G. Wodehouse
“Anselm Gets His Chance” is an episode of “Wodehouse Playhouse” (see my review of the series) British television series that features John Alderton and Pauline Collins. Aldterton plays the title role of Reverend Anselm Mulliner in “Anselm Gets His Chance” while his real life wife, the ever-cute-as-a-bug, Pauline …

One day Patrick and Spongebob are outside playing, up to no good like usual, and they come across an abandoned baby scallop, which its parents are no where to be found. Well being the concerned people that they are, they decide to take the animal in and be its …
CHiPs: Rustling
CHiPs: Rustling from season one actually had what I would call the first serious storyline, one that was emotional on a deep level. Most of the time, things are light or perhaps angry, and there’s been emotion, but not quite like this.
G.W. Bailey plays a drunk driver who …
Tv Show “Raising Hope” Episode 6 “Family Secrets”
I really enjoy watching this tv show because they throw something unexpected at you at each episode. In this episode Hope’s deceased mother who was executed for being a serial killer of boyfriends reappears in video form. After her death her belongings were collected in boxes and …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Time Lock TV Show
From 1967, the eighth episode of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea’s fourth season is called Time Lock. It’s an okay episode that has some entertainment value going for it. The crux of the hour long science fiction show is that Admiral Harriman Nelson, as played …
Auf Wiedersehen Pet Episode 2 If i were a carpenter
Last night Lyndsey and I watched the second episode of Auf Wiedersehen Pet. This episode was called If I were a carpenter. This episode focused on Neville’s (Played by Kevin Whately) plight as a carpenter when really he is a bricklayer. Dennis (Tim Healy) tries to …
The 2009 Hollywood Christmas Parade
The annual The 2009 Hollywood Christmas Parade began poorly with some horrible camera work. The two hosts, Erik Estrada and Laura McKenzie weren’t centered in the camera frame, resulting in Estrada having a third of his body, including his face, cut off. It was just horrid.
The parade …
The Golden Girls TV Show
My Mother used to love this show so much, as do I.
There are four woman who live together, along with the elderly Mother of one of them.
the ladies. Her name is Sophia.
She is a cranky old soul, always wanting to be independant, beyond her means and very abrasive the …
Reba
I recently started watching a show called Reba which has Reba Mccantire in it. It’s a really funny show and I think a lot of people could relate to it no matter what there age or gender. Everyone in the show is funny especially Van. I think mothers could …
The Defenders: Nevada v. Sen. Harper TV Show
This episode of The Defenders, known as Nevada v. Sen. Harper, was rock solid, and it is the kind of hour that I want to see. It’s not that there aren’t still annoyances, because there are, but the dramatic portions are really wonderful to watch.
The opening scene with …
Lost - First Season
I could tell by the way the first episode began that Lost was going to be a great hit for the producers at ABC.
The story begins as a plane crashes into a lost island, several hours off the original course, making it difficult to envision a rescue. We are …
The Choir: Episode 3 TV Show
This is the third outing of The Choir, the show in which a classically trained musician, Gareth Malone, has taken average students from an England school called Northolt and developed a choir out of them. This show begins at the start of the summer term, just after the …
Two and a half men the show
Two and a half men is a show about two men and one of them has a kid and this show has provided me with many years of entertainment and the characters on the show are all so funny. The first character that is the best would have to …
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 …
Vampire High Season 1 Episode 23
In this episode, everyone is gone for Spring Break and Merrill decides not to accompany everyone else, but stay at the school by herself.

Like all children my son loves to watch television and there are some great television programmes out there for them to watch, but are also educational as well. There is a programme out there that I will not to let my son watch as I think that it is …

One Tree Hill Series
First of all, I did not expect that I would learn to love CW’s One Tree Hill series. I have been a loyal viewer of the series since the airing of its first season when its characters were in their teenage years. Now it has made to its sixth …
Super Mario World - Send in the Clown
Super Mario World - “Send in the Clown” is my favorite episode of the cartoon series. Part of the reason I really enjoy this episode is because this episode actually features a fight between Mario and Koopa that resembles the battle at the end of Super Mario World. It …
Spongebob Squarepants Season Four - All That Glitters
While making a really large Krabby Patty one day at the Krusty Krab, Spongebob breaks his favorite spatula, completely distroying him. He is so upset because him and the spatula have many memories together, and he doesn’t know how he is going to do his job again without it. …
Ghost Hunters: Lighthouse Inn
Another Ghost Hunters episode and another one where they really don’t find much in terms of evidence of ghosts. The third episode of the series “Lighthouse Inn” was one that wasn’t the most impressive for me.
On one hand, they seemed to at least have some personal experiences both at …
