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 …
Family Guy: I Dream of Jesus
Last night one of our local channels aired a re-run of a Family Guy episode that is one of my daughter’s favorites (yes, I know I shouldn’t be letting her watch it but, if she doesn’t learn about this stuff from Family Guy, where will she learn about it?); …
The X-Files: Season 1, Episode 3: Squeeze
I think that this, even more so than the two previous episodes, acts as a proto-typical X-Files episode. It has all the things that X-Files fans love. It’s far more atmospheric than the other two and has a stronger story to tell compared to the other two.
It …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Outcast
Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Outcast is a very disappointing episode of the series that was supposed to be an episode that explored homosexuality and an alien culture’s desire to “change” those members of the population that exhibit such “unnatural” feelings, however the means in which this …
Mr. Monk and Mrs. Monk
Today was the first time I had a chance to watch the entire Monk episode “Mr. Monk and Mrs. Monk” and it turned out to be very interesting.
This episode gives us a better glimpse of his deceased wife Trudy; or at least a little more information about her considering …
Entourage
I have always liked Mark Wahlberg so when I heard he was producing television show based on his life I was excited to see it.
Entourage delivers in more ways than one. Firstly it’s like a reality show but better, it’s peppy, fast and the dialogue is quick and …
M*A*S*H: George
M*A*S*H: George aired in February 1974 so this show was pretty daring, all things considered. In this story, Rick Ely plays Private George Weston, a decorated soldier who admits to Hawkeye Pierce that he was beaten up by members of his unit because they found out he was …
M*A*S*H: Foreign Affairs
M*A*S*H: Foreign Affairs is a different story because it’s the first love affair for Major Charles Emerson Winchester III (David Ogden Stiers). He becomes mesmerized by a French Red Cross worker who is at the 4077th to observe for a few days. Melinda Mullins guest stars as …
The Jerry Springer Show
I use to watch the Jerry Springer a lot when I was younger but over the years it seemed to have fade away. It use to be very entertaining and use to be very excited every time it would come on. The guess seem to have real problems and …
Celebrity Apprentice - Episode 2
Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice is always full of the unexpected. In this second edition of the celebrity-studded game, my favorite is Scott Hamilton. However, from the moment I heard he was going to do the show I was certain he’d be eaten alive. He’s a good …
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig Episode 5
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig episode 5 has Section 9 going after an assassin who is trying to kill the Prime Minister for ignoring the refugees.
This episode is very well done because we finally see the person behind the Individual 11 group that we …
Stylista Season 1
After the influence that I got from America’s Next Top Model, I was hooked in watching Tyra’s recently produced TV reality show, “Stylista”. Unlike Top Model wherein Tyra is hosting the show, Stylista has Anne Slowey from Elle Magazine hosting the show. It also stars Joe Zee, creative director …
Futurama TV Episode: Fear of a Bot Planet
Well, so far, I have liked most of the Futurama episodes I have been watching with my daughter over the past couple of days. But, the season 1 episode Fear of a Bot Planet was actually kind of weak compared to most of the others.
The problem with this episode …
Duck Dodgers season 1 episode 9: The Green Loontern
I’m a huge Green Lantern fan, so when I found out that an episode of “Duck Dodgers” (a show I’m also a fan of) crossed over and had Dodgers joining the Corps to battle Sinestro, I had to track it down. It was as geektastic as I hoped. …
The Last Man on Earth, TV show
When I heard the name, without knowing anything else about it, I thought this show was gonna be a bit like “I Am Legend,” full of drama, action, the end of the world, and just one man in a planet full of zombies. Wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong. It’s actually the …
Telus Digital Cable
After using Shaw Digital Cable for the past year, we were offered a great rate to switch to Telus Digital Cable. Seeing as our phone, long distance and internet are already contracted onto Telus for another three years, we decided to add the Digital Cable package as well.
So far, …
OC - Tv series
I watched many tv series because I love spending my relax time with them. I love many of them and I hate some of them. OC is probably the one I dislike the most. The reason is that the story of this series is so predictable. …
American Idol
OK I used to hate American Idol. I think this show is just really a way to make someone famous, and have record labels ready to sell their music to the masses. And since the viewers get emotionally close to certain artists they will go out and buy their CD …
Sea Hunt: Jettisoned TV Show
From season two, the Jettisoned episode of Sea Hunt occurs after Hurricane Teresa. This adventure series tends to use hurricanes a lot to help the plot of a show. In this case, during the hurricane a pilot had released a nuclear bomb into the ocean for safety …
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 …
Doctor Who 2009 Easter Special: Planet of the Dead
Rather than go for another full season, Tennant and crew decided to wrap up his run with a series of specials. There was, of course, the Christmas special, which has become something of a Doctor Who tradition, but they followed it up with an Easter special. As …
The Twilight Zone: The Bewitchin’ Pool TV Show
All good things come to an end, and such was the case for The Twilight Zone with this interesting outing called The Bewitchin’ Pool. I really like this show and believe that this groundbreaking science fiction series went out on top.
Basically, we have a couple of warring parents …
The Andy Griffith Show: The New Doctor TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: The New Doctor, from season one, is quite entertaining.
The one thing that seems funny to me is that this show has dealt with new doctors in a lot of different ways, or should I say will deal with. There’s absolutely no consistency to it, …
The View show
The View is a show hosted by four women (five when Barbara Walters is on). These four women, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sherri Shepherd and Elisabeth Hasselbeck, have very different opinions and views on many different subjects from raising children, to marriage woes, to political issues.
The best and most …
Doctor Who season 1 episode 10 The Doctor Dances
This is a totally unusual title for a totally awesome episode. This is my favourite episode of all Doctor Who episodes. It is actually a second part of a very interesting episode situated in the 2nd world war where Rose and the Doctor arrived following through the time …
That Girl: The Detective Story
Aspiring actress Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas) gets an obscene phone call one night and calls the police. Soon, a police detective is at her door. This is a cute scene with Ann trying to get the detective to prove his identity a number of different ways. …
HGTV
If you have cable television a great show to watch 24 hours a day 7 days a week is Home and Garden television. The shows they feature are how to fix it show and repairs on rooms in ones house. Such shows like Design remix or Design …
The Closer
I like watching TNT on cable, and ther are just a few television series that I will watch. One such series is on TNTN and is called the Closer.
This series is a about a southern woman who comes to Los Angelos as a police captain. She …
Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Episode 1.1: Ambush
In the opening episode of “Star Wars: The Clone Wars”, Jedi Master Yoda commandeers three clone troopers (Jek, Rys, and Thire) against Count Dooku’s vicious apprentice, Ventress, who has in her possession a much larger droid army. The two sides battle it out on on an important planet to …
The Third Leaders’ Debate, UK general election campaign 2010
The third and final of the televised leaders’ debates in the weeks before the 2010 British general election was broadcast by the BBC and was primarily (although not entirely) to be on the subject of the economy, which was hardly surprising to me given that the polls consistently show …
Spongebob Square Pants Series
I admit that I watch cartoons and to be honest I’m a bit choosy when I watch because I only want to tune in to a good and humorous cartoons and I hate a show that is full of nonsense. While my sister is watching television I watched with …
Zoobilee Zoo
Even though I was born in the late nineteen eighties, the television show Zoobilee Zoo would still air on a local television channel when I was little in the early nineties. Thus, I would watch it when I was still in kindergarten or possibly when I was a little …
Monster Episode 18 (Anime)
Monster Episode 18 has Anna Libert being questioned by police and they ask her if she knows anything about Dr. Tenma, she says she doesn’t and leaves. She sees her former boss Mister Rosso and they have dinner together, where she learns the truth about his past.
This was …
M*A*S*H: Hey, Look Me Over
M*A*S*H: Hey, Look Me Over is co-written by Alan Alda and Karen Hall. Hall is one of the show’s few female writers, and she seemed to have come along in the last couple of years and did a few episodes. It’s probably sad the number of female …
CSI Season 4 Episode 12- Butterflied
CSI Season 4 Episode 12- Butterflied
This was a very powerful episode, not as much for the investigation part of it, but the back story. The victim in this episode looks very much like Sarah, which has a very deep effect on Grissom and he refuses to rest before he …
Futurama TV Episode: I, Roommate
I haven’t seen the series Futurama in a while but have recently had an opportunity to watch several episodes on our Netflix Instant Watch. One of the episodes I got to see was one I actually remember watching before; I, Roommate.
Even though I had seen it before, the episode …
The Apprentice U.K.: S6, Ep 1 TV Show
The Apprentice U.K. has begun what is apparently its sixth season. I’ve only seen a couple, but I enjoy it, sometimes even better than the United States version. The show began with 16 candidates, all vying to work for Lord Alan Sugar, who they meet for the …
Neon Genesis Evangelion episode 10
As the world spins its unprecedented course, our valiant heros find that unlike their classmates, that they are on a scheduled standby as long as the angel threat exist and are not allowed to join their class trip to Okinawa. This is Neon Genesis Evangelion episode 10 “Magma Diver”, …
Doctor Who: Season 2, Episode 14: Doomsday
So ends the second season and Billie Piper’s run as Rose Tyler. With an ominous prediction from Satan, I was expecting Rose to die, and the episode really plays up the possibility, with Rose’s voice over confirming it.
“Shockingly”, it turns out that the Beast was lying, or at …
Shark Week: Shark Bite: Surviving Great Whites
Shark Bite: Surviving Great Whites is one of the hour long specials that airs yearly on Discovery’s Shark Week. The program highlights cases where people were attacked by great white sharks and reenacts their stories. There are also comments from shark experts on why the people were attacked. The …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Turn Back the Clock TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Turn Back the Clock, episode seven and one I have always been intrigued by, guest stars Nick Adams. We see him running through a jungle and then are surprised to find he’s being chased by a dinosaur. Okay, this show …
American Idol - Performance 5/12/09
It was the top three on American Idol on May 12th. The performers each sang two songs, a pick made by the judges and a choice of their own.
Danny Gokey did awesome. He sang a very upbeat song (Dance Little Sister) and ended with a ballad. …
Psych TV Episode: He Dead
Synopsis: Shawn and Gus are the first ones on the scene of a plane crash and the millionaire pilot, before dying, tells them he was murdered.
What I liked about this episode: I love how there are a ton of potential suspects in this case, ranging from the wife who …
Blacke’s Magic: Ten Tons of Trouble
From January 1986, Blacke’s Magic: Ten Tons of Trouble stars Hal Linden as magician Alexander Blacke and Harry Morgan as his father, Leonard. The show opens wonderfully with Leonard showing up in the middle of night at Alex’s home and telling him that he’s moving in. Up …
Supernatural 4.17 It’s a Terrible Life
I’ve maintained for some time that Supernatural is one of the best shows on TV. It’s up there with Venture Bros. for me. This episode was a fine example for that. It was funny, had great character moments as well as being creepy.
It was a …
Spooks: 8.02
The new series of Spooks continues and picks up pace after the rather lacklustre first outing of this latest run.
Harry is back on form and back on the Grid and ready to guide his team through more dangerous missions to keep the country self.
In this episode, an …
Yamishibai: Japanese Ghost Stories, anime
I was looking for a new Japanese Anime to watch and someone recommended that I try one called Yamishibai: Japanese Ghost Stories. However, I had my reservations about it because once I took a look at it, the animation was very different from a lot of other Japanese anime that …
