Avatar: The Last Airbender: Book 3, Episode 9: Nightmares and Daydreams
Talk about mood whiplash, after the very dark, very creepy “Puppetmaster” episode we have what is probably one of the funniest episodes in the entire series.
The plot is simple enough, the invasion is coming up and Aang is extremely nervous about it. This causes him to have nightmares …
Devious Maids (tv series)
I discovered a lot of television series last year, but one of them that remains my favourite is “Devious Maids”. This is despite its very close resemblance to one of those daytime soap operas.
I would watch “Devious Maids” every Sunday night when it would air on Lifetime, and I …
It’s Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown (1984)
Out of all of the Snoopy TV specials, this is my favorite. With the scenes of breakdancing and the energetic songs, it’s the one that says “1980s” the most. I grew up in the 80s so I love a lot of stuff from that decade. And there’s just something …
Stargate SG1: Prototype
This episode revolves around the team finding a man in stasis on a planet. At first they believe his story that he was captured, held prisoner and experimented on but after Daniel goes through the data, he finds something that changes that. The man, Kalek, is actually …
Brenda Song aka London Tipton
Brenda Song is a rising Disney star. She plays a big role in the popular Disney Channel series The Suit Life of Zack and Cody. Her role is a rich heiress of the Tipton. Her father owns the hotel and is a billionaire. Of course, if you dad is …
Rising Stars tv series
I think of “Rising Stars” as the Jamaican version to the American reality television series “American Idol”. I never did like watching the television show a lot since it focuses on mainly the mainstream music, and I have never seen a contestant who I found was worth my time …
Due South: A Likely Story
The best thing about Due South: A Likely Story is the story that Constable Benton Fraser (Paul Gross) tells both in the first and the last scenes. Gross is a good storyteller, and I understand that he’s a folk singer of some sort, so that may explain why …
Wagon Train - The Color Season DVD Set
Recently, I acquired Wagon Train - The Color Season DVD set. This set contains every color episode of Wagon Train, which was essentially the 1963-64 TV series. All shows were ninety minutes long. This was the year that Robert Fuller joined the cast after a four-year …
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 …
The Simpsons: No Loan Again, Naturally
One of our local stations has been showing Simpsons re-runs of episodes that are more recent and, as a result, I haven’t seen before. Last night, they showed one called No Loan Again, Naturally, which I thought was pretty good.
The episode starts out with Homer throwing a big bash …
Touching Evil - Pilot
Touching Evil is a very different and quirky show based on a British TV series. Jeffrey Donovan, now known more for his series Burn Notice, stars as Detective Inspector Dave Creegan. Creegan almost died a while back (actually, he was dead for a bit before revitalizing), and …
Back at the Barnyard
Normally, I like pretty much everything my daughter is exposed to on Nick. However, their addition of the show Back at the Barnyard is an insult to parents everywhere.
There is nothing worthwhile about that show. The jokes are 100 times cruder than some “adult” cartoons on television and I …
Eli Stone
Who is Eli Stone? If you are not watching the ABC network on Thursday nights than you probably have no idea. Eli Stone is the main character of a show with the same name. Eli just recently found that he suffers from an inoperable brain aneurism. It all started …
Whoopi: Pilot TV Show
Back in 2003, Whoopi Goldberg starred in a TV show for the NBC network. It was, naturally, a situation comedy. Now I’m not all that fond of modern sitcoms because the humor is too provocative for my tastes. I wanted to watch this, though, because I …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Neutral Zone
Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Neutral Zone is the final episode of season one and is an episode that I have mixed feelings about. On one hand, I find the storyline of the Enterprise coming across a space capsule containing cryogenically-frozen humans from the twentieth-century intriguing and …
The Cleaner: Rag Dolls
Now that I was familiar with some of the shooting styles of The Cleaner and how fast paced it is, watching its second episode, Rag Dolls, was a little easier. One thing I noticed here is that this show has a very distinct visual pattern. They do …
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 …
Buck Rogers TV Episode: Awakening
When I was younger, my family used to spend one evening a week watching the show Buck Rogers. It was a long time ago, however, and I didn’t remember a whole lot about it. So, when I had an opportunity to watch it on DVD (via instant watch), I …
Highway Patrol: Fear TV Show
Fear was the 25th episode to air during Highway Patrol’s third of four seasons on television. The story is about a family man with a secret past. It’s a bit complex, though, as he’s not really on the up and up. It’s difficult to feel bad …
Shatner’s Raw Nerve: Henry Winkler
Shatner’s Raw Nerve: Henry Winkler was a fascinating half hour of television. I’m still amazed by this inventive semi-talk show that William Shatner does. It’s not scripted at all and there’s not fancy introduction. Shatner may speak for all of a minute in bringing on his …
The Simpsons Season 4 Episode 2 A streetcar named Marge
The kids and Homer are busy watching a beauty pageant whereas Marge is rehearsing for her play. She keeps telling Homer she will be auditioning for the play, but Homer does not pay attention to her. Marge auditions for the play, and though initially she gets rejected for the …
The Twilight Zone: Two
“Two” is another episode of the television series “The Twilight Zone” which my boyfriend and I love. In fact, I think it was popular too amongst “Twilight Zone” viewers as it was a little different than many of the other “Twilight Zone” episodes as instead of focusing on mostly …
Hellcats: The Match Game TV Show
Hellcats: The Match Game focuses on the cheerleading squad deciding to auction off dates with themselves in order to raise money to pay for their trip to the National competition. Naturally, the winners of the auction dates prove to bring some conflict and drama.
Once again, it is Ashley …
M*A*S*H: The Abduction of Margaret Houlihan
The title of this episode is slightly misleading, since Margaret isn’t abducted at all. Still, in M*A*S*H: The Abduction of Margaret Houlihan, everyone but Corporal Klinger (Jamie Farr) thinks that is what happened to the missing major. In reality, she went to deliver a Korean woman’s baby. …
Law and Order SVU Season 1 Episode 2- A Single Life
Law and Order SVU Season 1 Episode 2- A Single Life
I’d don’t know if I liked this episode. In the beginning, it looked very interesting, and I know that it had a very strong message, which I felt was in very important to express. But the end …
21 Jump Street
I didn’t know a lot about 21 Jump Street before I started watching the dvds. It’s a show my parents used to watch and talked about starring a young Johnny Depp.
After hearing about it a few times I decided to check it out.
The premise of the show is …
The Prisoner: Checkmate
The Prisoner: Checkmate actually starts out with a very intriguing human name of chess where residents of The Village, including Number Six (Patrick McGoohan) are the chess pieces. When one of the rooks moves on his own and proclaims, “Check”, he is removed and taken to the hospital …
Medium: Dead Meat TV Show
This May 2010 episode of Medium, which is probably the second to the last of the entire series, really touched home. In fact, it’ll probably be a while before I eat pork again. I’ve gone through phases like that before because I am a huge animal lover. …
NCIS Los Angeles Season 3 Episode 1
I waited a long time for the new season of NCIS Los Angeles. The last season was intentionally cut in mid story. Unexpectedly and mysteriously, Hetty resigns from her post and goes to Romania to close some unfinished business. Of course, what she did is so absurd that …
Stargate Atlantis: Ghost in the Machine
Stargate Atlantis: Ghost in the Machine is the fifth episode of the fifth and final season for this SyFy TV series. Never let it be said I can’t say something good about this series that I’m not fond of because I’m saying here that this episode was actually …
Touched by an Angel: I Will Walk with You - Part 2
Touched by an Angel: I Will Walk with You - Part 2 concludes this wonderful series that starred Roma Downey, Della Reese, John Dye, and Valerie Bertinelli. The magic of this final show, which is set in a sad, tragic town whose children had been killed in a …
Seven days Season 3 episode 10 Adam & Eve & Adam
Frank Parker is a NSA agent who works for a secret government project called backstep. When something bad happens he is sent back in time to try to fix thinks. In this episode Olga, Hooter and Franks are in a military base 600ft underground when a neutron bomb explodes …
Voyagers!: Created Equal
Voyagers!: Created Equal takes viewers back to the age of Spartacus, who is enslaved and forced to fight as a gladiator in the arena. This allows the hunky series star, Jon-Erik Hexum, to show off his physique in the arena as well. As an actor, Hexum still …
My Fair Wedding with David Tutera tv show
One thing I absolutely dread watching is those wedding reality tv shows I would always see airing on different television channels, and one of those was “My Fair Wedding with David Tutera”. However, it was a limitation of choices that caused me to start watching it and liking it.
I …
NCIS: Agent Afloat Season 6, Episode 2
This episode was mostly about Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo, or rather Agent Afloat Anthony DiNozzo. Anyone who is a huge fan of Michael Weatherly, like myself, enjoyed “Agent Afloat” tremendously.
There were two stories going on….which usually happens on NCIS. One was the investigation itself. Supposedly, a …
ICarly TV Episode: I Cook
Synopsis: Carly and her friends are challenged by a famous chef and end up outcooking him. They are thrilled (especially Sam, because the prize is steaks) until the chef feels sorry for himself and quits.
What I liked about this episode: Well, first of all, there used to be a …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Song Festers TV Show
From February 1964, The Andy Griffith Show: The Song Festers is a favorite episode. It’s fun and poignant, and more than either of those, it’s an entertaining half hour. That said, it’s not all new and it doesn’t necessarily make a lot of sense either.
In this episode, …
Highway Patrol: Prison Break TV Show
I have a couple of episodes of Highway Patrol in my personal video collection, but I haven’t seen the series in years. Now one of the cable networks is rerunning it, and it’s a great opportunity to watch this groundbreaking series again. As many of the so-called …
Stargate SG-1: Fair Game
Stargate SG-1: Fair Game is a really nice episode from the third season of SG-1. It begins with Jack finding himself beamed up to an Asgard vessel and coming face to face with Thor for the first time. Richard Dean Anderson, who plays Jack, is known to …
Monk TV series
Monk is a show on the USA network. It’s about a private detective that’s been put on leave from the local police department when he had a psychological break down after the death of his wife. Mr. Monk is an excellent detective and although he’s no longer part of …
ASPCA (television commercial)
I am such a dog lover. So when I saw this ASPCA commercial, I was immediately struck in the heart. The music however, is what I think people will notice right away. The song comes on delicate piano and the sweetest female voice …
Orchestra United: Episode 3 TV Show
The latest episode of Orchestra United to come out was pretty interesting. This is the reality series that is following conductor James Lowe as he brings together students to participate in an orchestra with the ultimate goal of having them perform at the Bridgwater Theater. The series …
A Mind to Murder
From 1995, A Mind to Murder is another P.D. James novel put onto film which stars Roy Marsden. Marsden has made a career out of portraying Commander Adam Dalgliesh of Scotland Yard. It’s unusual to see someone play the same role so many times, but I …
Toddlers and Tiaras TV Show “Fancy Faces”
I am not a pageant mom myself. I did enter a couple of pageants myself as a child, but I would never push my children into pageants if they did not want to do them. My kids are pretty much indifferent to pageants at this point so …
Home Improvement An Older Woman
I’m a huge fan of the show Psych so when I saw Maggie Lawson starring on a re-run of Home Improvement at lunch today, I had to take a few minutes to watch it.
Overall, the episode, entitled “An Older Woman” was pretty decent. Most of the episodes from that …
Chasing Mummies: Bats TV Show
There was something amazing about watching Chasing Mummies in this latest Bats episode. It was relatively calm and peaceful. With two archaeological fellows, Lindsay and Zoe, now out of the picture, what viewers were treated to was a really intriguing look at Egypt and the pyramids.
Early on, …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Enemies TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Enemies, episode 29, starts out with a very dramatic teaser featuring a submarine called the Angler. It starts out innocently enough with an order for a course being given by Richardson (Tom Skerritt). Sub captain Williams (Robert Sampson) objects, …
