Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Go Fish
If there’s anything that really stands out about the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Episode “Go Fish” it’s the fact it’s both very unbelievable (even for this series) and has some pretty disgusting moments in it.
OK, the fact they live on the Hell Mouth would probably give me some reason …
M*A*S*H: Dear Sigmund
The letter home theme gets a bit of a twist in M*A*S*H: Dear Sigmund when visitor Sidney Freedman, a psychiatrist, comes for the monthly poker game and starts a letter to his friend, Sigmund Freud. While doing so, he talks about the magic of the camp and the …
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.
Merrill is happy when Murdoch finally leaves and she has the school to herself, but it angered by the fact that Marty decided to stay as …
Comedy Central Roast of Rosanne
Over the years that I have watched the Comedy Central Roasts, I have liked some and disliked others. Most of the Roasts have not been very amusing with one or two funny comedians who graced the stage, while others are just down-right terrible. I did want to see the …
The Wendy Williams Show
I think Wendy Williams is a fabulous ball of fire, and for the past six months, watching her talk show has been my guilty pleasure. I watch it every evening during the week, and I’ll even stay glued to the tv if the episode is a rerun, because …
The Office US
The Office US is obviously the US version of the hit UK series The Office. I’m not really a fan of English tv so I watched the American version and I haven’t seen the english model so I can’t compare the two.
I have to say it was a …
Highway Patrol: Deadly Diamonds TV Show
From December 1958, Highway Patrol: Deadly Diamonds was an okay half hour, but the entertainment value wasn’t as strong as some other outings simply because it’s a stale plot. We’ve seen jewelry thieves on the show before, and we’ve also seen three person teams.
Frankly, the set up for …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Return of the Phantom TV Show
Talk about ending the second season on a high note, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea concluded its year with this 26th episode, The Return of the Phantom. This brought back Alfred Ryder as the marvelous Krueger, who first was seen about midway through the year in …
Probe: Computer Logic
I’d actually forgotten about the Probe TV series until a friend sent me a DVD or two with the episodes on it. I did watch it and enjoy the show, brief as it was, when it aired originally. In the first episode, Computer Logic, we are introduced …
Wings Season 3 DVD
I’ve been a fan of the sitcom Wings for years now, though I don’t think I ever watched the show when it was actually brand new. Instead I was one of the people who ended up watching it when it was shown on USA during its syndication years. Every …
M*A*S*H: Patent 4077
On the surface, M*A*S*H: Patent 4077 doesn’t really seem like that much of a show, and yet it really has some strong moments in it that make you stop and go ‘wow’. It’s like the little episode that could.
The pop to this show concerns Margaret Houlihan’s wedding ring. …
That Girl: Soap Gets in Your Eyes
In That Girl: Soap Gets in Your Eyes, Ann gets a job on a soap opera which is ill timed since she’s about to meet Don’s parents. Don’s mother happens to watch the soap opera and isn’t able to separate Ann from her not-so-good character that she portrays. …
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 …
Rock of Love
It’s hard to believe that a gaggle of beautiful women are so desperate to attract the attentions of an aging rock-and-roller that they would put themselves through all types of humiliation. Apparently, though, it is true, as evidenced by VH-1’s reality show “Rock of Love.” In each episode, …
Vampire High Season 1 Episode 18
In this episode, the night students are sitting around the library when it begins to thunder and it immediately calls for story time.
Merrill tells the others about a woman who was an archer and she came across a vampire. The vampire told her he loved her and that his …
Psych: Lassie did a bad thing
While I’m not as big of a fan as the show “Psych” as I used to be, mostly because I really find it hard to believe everyone is still falling for the fake psychic routine, it does still manage to have the occassional good episode from time to time. …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 14: Knock, Knock
Man, I wanted to like this episode more than I did. It wasn’t bad per se, but it had everything going for it, yet the end result was still only passable. Straczynski was writing it, it centered on an ancient world threatening evil, and Slimer had only …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Magnus Beam TV Show
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Magnus Beam is the 11th outing of the first year of this very intriguing science fiction show that revolves around the nuclear submarine, Seaview, and its crew, headed by Admiral Nelson and Captain Crane, as played by Richard Basehart and David …
Stargate SG-1: The Shroud
Stargate SG-1: The Shroud is a wonderful episode, thanks to the return of Richard Dean Anderson as General Jack O’Neill. It’s not just Jack’s presence, but his friendship with Daniel that makes the show a great one.
Daniel is discovered on a planet as a Prior. He’s beamed …
South Park: Pee
This episode, entitled “Pee”, was the last episode of the thirteenth season, and offered nothing that made me want to come back for season fourteen. The plot revolves around the kids in town going to a water park that has too many people peeing in its pools. Soon, the …
CSI Season 8, Episode 2
This episode of CSI was when I stopped watching the show again. It didn’t last very long since just a few months later I was turning back, but at the time I thought that I’d never watch the show again. This episode starts off where the last one ended, …
The Andy Griffith Show: The Haunted House TV Show
From October 1963, The Andy Griffith Show: The Haunted House is a classically funny episode of this comedy series which features Griffith as small town sheriff, Andy Taylor. Andy is more common sense oriented than most of the others we meet in this rural community of Mayberry, North …
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour: Hubert Humphrey TV Show
The Dean Martin Comedy Hour went political with its roast of Senator Hubert H. Humphrey, who was widely used in stand up routines by comedians throughout the country. Humphrey was The Man of the Week and the dais had a few political comics and other types on it, …
Gilligan’s Island - Ring Around Gilligan TV Show
This is a switch to the normal Gilligan’s Island running. The Professor isn’t the one coming up with crazy inventions, this time a bizarre doctor, Dr. Boris Balenkoff, introduces hypnotic jewelry and in this case rings. The doctor has a completely sinister, but at times in a strange way …
How I met your mother Season 1 Episode 15 Game Night
Ted tells his kids that Marshall was very good at any game that they played. This made Marshall to invent his own game ‘Marshgammon’. So one night while playing at Ted’s house, a hidden secret about Barney is revealed. Barney it seems was ‘ not as cool as he …
Naruto Special: The Four Leaf Clover
This episode never aired on TV, and was never released in Japan at all, and that was probably for the best. For reasons unknown to me Viz Media decided to release this episode as a special on their first Naruto DVD release in America. At least this episode had …
CSI Miami Horatio Caine
Think of a land of glitz and glamour. Beautiful women, sun, sea and glorious sunsets. High rise tower blocks overlooking a harbour lined with millionaire’s yachts. A playboy’s paradise overflowing with the excesses of the rich and famous. Imagine the picture. And in the centre of it stands a …
VH1’s Hogan Knows Best
VH1’s reality show about the everyday lives of the Hogan family centers around Hulk Hogan himself. Even though his family is showcased in the program, the show is really about Hulk, but one would not get that impression just ne watching.
This isn’t your run of the mill disfunctional family …
The Twilight Zone: The Last Night of a Jockey TV Show
The fact that it’s the fifth season really shows for The Twilight Zone. There are several shows in a row that I just don’t like, and The Last Night of a Jockey from October 1963 is another one of them. The stories had some good actors, but …
Fireball XL5: Space Pen
One of the things I’ve longed realized about Fireball XL5 is that the lovely blonde Venus gets more change of clothing than any of the other characters. I suppose that’s how it really is in life anyway, but it’s amused me quite a bit. In this show …
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 …
Law & Order SVU
Every Tuesday at 10PM I switch the channel to NBC to watch Law & Order SVU. The timeslot is really good as my children are already fast asleep and do not have to hear or see the show. I don’t believe this show is suitable for their age. They …
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig: Episode 17
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig Episode 17 has Major Kusanagi in Taiwan investigating Kuze’s identity. She rescues a boy named Chai from Yakuza thugs and he tries to see if she can get him a fully prosthetic body.
This was one of the more interesting …
What’s New Scooby Doo: The Vampire Strikes Back
As far as “What’s New Scooby Doo” episodes are concerned, the one entitled “The Vampire Strikes Back” was better than some of the first season episodes I’ve watched.
This one actually had a legitimate mystery in it at least.
The episode features the Hex Girls (which I can only assume means …
Naruto Episode 6 Subbed
After a little bit more comedy at Naruto’s expense, episode 6 finally provides what all the previous episodes have been pointing towards: real, dangerous, action. And this episode did a superb job of introducing the action. There is enough explanatory dialog to keep the story going strong without confusing …
Highway Patrol: Harbor Story TV Show
Highway Patrol: Harbor Story gets right to the action with a bank robbery. The only problem I have with it are two of the robbers running out of the bank and into a potential witness, who ends up getting shot in the shoulder and does an overly dramatic …
Ninja Warrior G4 TV
The Ninja Warrior competition takes place in Japan, where one hundred would-be ninjas (average, everyday people, in fact) arrive at Mt. Midoriyama to compete for the title. Japanese viewers have been tuning in to these taped specials for a decade now.
Here in the United States, we have a slightly-altered …
QVC (television)
Few television shows piss me off as much as QVC. I find it to be a completely idiotic way of marketing a product and more likely than not, I would go out of my way not to purchase a product advertised on their broadcasts. First of all, …
The Andy Griffith Show: Andy Forecloses TV Show
This is another favorite from season one of The Andy Griffith Show. It’s a wonderful half hour of entertainment referred to as Andy Forecloses. There’s humor and drama both, as well as a whole lot of friendly warmth. I absolutely love this half hour of comedy.
One …
Tales of the Gold Monkey: Honor Thy Brother
I must admit that Tales of the Gold Monkey: Honor Thy Brother isn’t one of my favorite episodes of the series. It begins with Jake Cutter (Stephen Collins) having a lot of close calls. He survives them all, but realizes that it’s actually intentional. There’s …
The Andy Griffith Show: Sheriff Barney TV Show
From its second season of many years on the air, The Andy Griffith Show: Sheriff Barney is a good outing. It’s not one of my huge favorites, but it’s a solid show that has plenty of laughs to it, and that’s what successful comedy is all about. …
Qur’an Channel 4 Programme
I tuned into this programme some way in as I hadn’t know it was on, but was interested in the subject matter. Apparently the aim of the programme was to talk about what the Muslim holy book actually says, I suppose to demystify it, given that there are …
Handy Manny
My family and I (my husband, our eldest son Kurt who is 3 and Josh our youngest who is 6 months) are going to be moving over to Spain towards the end of this year. We already have a place over there and my parents live over they’re …

The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: George Burns TV Show
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast presented a 90-minute roast of the legendary George Burns. Filmed in Las Vegas, there were a lot of comics on the dais, which isn’t surprising.
What made this fun is that Burns was in control the whole way. When Gene Kelly stood and …

The Following TV show
The Following is a powerful drama/thriller/mystery television series written by Kevin Williamson.The series is about a FBI agent, Ryan hardy (Kevin Bacon) who is called out of retirement to catch the diabolical serial killer, Joe Caroll (Joe Purefoy.)I learned the show was more about a cult type of serial …
Centennial: The Massacre
Centennial: The Massacre is one of the most difficult episodes of this epic mini-series to watch. It’s top notch drama and stands up to the ongoing quality and expectations of this series, which is based on the novel by James Michener. That said, it’s hard to watch …
