Numb3rs Season 4 Episode 13
This episode started with a mixture of showing a classroom teacher and an FBI agent while doing a drug raid. It did a very good job at mixing both scenarios together as the teacher was explaining that a good leader has to trust in himself, and will thereby gain …
Orchestra United: Episode 2 TV Show
The second episode of Orchestra United was a little slow for me somehow. I can’t really put my finger on it, but there was something that didn’t keep me as hooked as I had been. Still, the hour long episode from the United Kingdom had some solid …
Vampire High Season 1 Episode 2
In episode two, we’re introduced to the final vampire Marty, who will accompany the rest of the night school vampires in their quest to find humanity. Unfortunately, Marty is becoming more of a nuisance and strides to corrupt the rest of the group.
Since Drew’s stunt with involving himself with …
Ghost Hunters: The Playhouse and the Firehouse
Well, another Ghost Hunters episode and another feeling like I wasted an hour of my life.
The Playhouse and the Firehouse seemed to have potential. But, once again, we have two investigations that turn up absolutely nothing.
The only thing that came from the Playhouse investigation is everyone finally had enough …
Wagon Train: The Zeke Thomas Story
Wagon Train: The Zeke Thomas Story is just a little too soap opera for me, considering this is a western. Basically, a man and his wife are traveling on the wagon train when they bump into a woman who turns out to be the man’s first wife, thought …
Have Gun - Will Travel: High Wire
Have Gun - Will Travel: High Wire was definitely something you don’t see every day in a western, even today. This season one show guest starred Strother Martin as Dooley Delaware, a former high wire walker in the circus. He’s since lost his nerve and goes from …
Harper’s Island Season 1 Episode 10
I watched with my boyfriend Harper’s Island Season 1 Episode 10 and even he went screaming when something happened to the Sheriff. Not going to say exactly what, but it was a sad episode for Abby. Very sad, indeed.
I really have come to hate the killer …
Ghost Hunters: Irish Ruins
Another interesting Ghost Hunters episode; or at least something that seemed interesting at first; Irish Ruins.
This one has the TAPS team doing some investigating in Ireland and England. The first case had them at the ruins of a building in the middle of nowhere that is now overgrown with …
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Mechanical Man TV Show
I love this show. I’m going to say that right off the bat. Of course, I’ve been writing reviews talking about Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and how much I liked the show growing up and even now, but this particular episode, The Mechanical Man, …
Ghost Whisperer the TV Series
I have always found the appeal of Ghost Whisperer puzzling. The fifth season will premier on September 25, 2009. Melinda Gordon (Jennifer Love Hewitt) has the ability to see and talk to ghosts, and she uses this ability to bring closure to the ghosts so that they will cross …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Hanging of Aaron Gibbs TV Show
From November 1961, Have Gun - Will Travel: The Hanging of Aaron Gibbs was a very strong episode. It surprised me in many ways. The show guest stars black folk singer, Odetta. Now the only reason I use the descriptor ‘black’ in this review is because …
Poo Stick : Upright Citizens Brigade
Poo Stick is another classic episode of the television series “Upright Citizens Brigade.” This episode revolves around the poo stick, a weapon which is nothing more than some dog poo placed onto a stick. A crazy idea for a television show, but somehow the UCB is …
Supernatural S3. Episode 2
The Kids are Alright is the second episode from the third season of Supernatural. Dean convinces Sam to go to a small town in Indiana where one of his ex-girlfriends live and he wants to see her before he dies. Once there they discover that there’s a demon in …
The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest (tv series)
When I was much younger and still a child, I would look forward to watching certain cartoons after coming from school in the afternoons. One of them in particular was the television series “The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest”, which I later learned was actually a spin-off of another …
Friends Season One - The one where Nana dies Twice
Ross and Monica are devastated to find out that their Grandmother is really sick in the hospital and they are called to come to her bed and say their goodbyes. When they do arrive at the hospital, they find out that she has already passed. When they go into …

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 …
Desperate Housewives Season 4 Episode 6
You guys have watched Desperate Housewives Season 4, Episode 6..? You should, if you haven’t. It is really a good and amazing episode and this would be one of the most favorite episodes ever in this season 4.
This episode is totally about the Halloween episode, and as usual, …
En Garde Project Runway
I honestly believe the only reason Project Runway does team challenges is in an effort to create tension among the designers. I mean, who would have thought you could see Rami fight with anyone, especially Sweet Pea.
Last night’s challenge was definitely an interesting one though. The designers had to …
CSI Miami TV Series
I love watching this TV series both on TV and online. I love watching crime movies because it is such of interest to find out how a crime is committed, what is going on in a criminal’s mind, and the consequences of the action afterwards. Watching CSI series piqued …
Doctor Who season 1 episode 4 Aliens of London
This was a rather funny but still very serious episode, it still didn’t convince me this wasn’t a children’s show but I guess I am considering of promoting it to adult show.
Rose and The Doctor arrived back to London, although The Doctor wanted to take them back to the …
Keeping Up With the Kardashians (E! reality show)
Again the reality show has bitten another family. This show has been on E! for a little while, but I’d just never taken the time to watch. Kim Kardashian is a beautiful woman who doesn’t really get a lot of respect in Hollywood. She’s …
Inbetweeners E4
Having ignored this show when it was originally aired, I stumbled across a repeat one evening on E4. I knew it was about four lads at school but that was about it. I must have turned on just at the right moment as I heard a characters reaction to …
Adam-12: Ambush
Adam-12: Ambush is not just an excellent episode of this Jack Webb police drama, but it’s also remembered for being part of an episode of the Emergency! television series. Scenes from this show were shown in that program where paramedic Johnny Gage became obsessed with knowing how the …
The Good Wife
The Good Wife is a new show that started this fall season 09. It airs on CBS. The premiere show storyline was not too bad. The wife of the show is a lawyer. Her husband is the District Attorney. A scandal is started surrounding the family when DA husband …
MacGyver: Walking Dead
MacGyver: Walking Dead is definitely not a favorite of mine. In fact, I really don’t like much about it at all. In this show from season seven, a section of the neighborhood where Mac lives is called Little Haiti. The problem is that outcasts from Haiti are …
Star Trek: This Side of Paradise TV Show
Star Trek: This Side of Paradise is one of the most well known episodes in which we see another side of the rational and logical Mr. Spock, played so aptly by Leonard Nimoy. It’s safe to say that this Spock is not like the normal Vulcan we see. …
Bones TV Episode: The Bikini in the Soup
Synopsis: The Jeffersonian team must solve the murder of a wedding planner found melted in her tanning bed in time for them to celebrate Valentine’s Day.
What I liked about this episode: I have to say that body in the tanning bed was actually pretty gross looking, especially when that …
Boston Legal Season 1 Episode 12
Sally Heap was fired from the firm. The call came from Shirley Schmidt. Denny Crane and Shirley Schmidt were defending a superintendent from Middlesex School. According to their client, the school board voted to include Creationism along with Darwinism in the 8th grade science curriculum. Teachers refused, the superintendent …
Wagon Train: The Eli Bancroft Story
The Eli Bancroft Story of Wagon Train is definitely a favorite. Not only is a good show, it’s a show I remembered throughout the decades. There are a few episodes of Wagon Train that I never forgot, even though I was just a little girl when they …
MASH: Requiem for a Lightweight
I usually like watching episodes of the classic show MASH. But, the episode Requiem for a Lightweight is one I’m not a huge fan of.
This is the episode that features Trapper getting involved in a boxing match with a giant sergeant from another MASH unit in an effort to …
Ron Howard: 50 Years in Film
Turner Classic Movies has produced a wonderfully simple biography on Ron Howard, known to some as Opie on “The Andy Griffith Show” and as Richie on “Happy Days”, and well respected as one of Hollywood’s leading movie directors. It’s called “Ron Howard: 50 Years in Film.”
There’s nothing glitzy …
Simpsons: Bart of War
I’m watching a classic Simpsons episode “Bart of War” and I’m thinking it is absolutely hillarious.
Basically, you have Bart and Milhouse being caught committing a prank and, because they need more adult supervision, they are separated into two separate youth groups which start out trying to teach the kids …
Dragon’s Den
Dragon’s Den is a BBC2 show where budding entrepreneurs enter “The Den” to pitch for an investment from five of Britain’s most successful multi-millionaire business people known here as the Dragon’s.
I have recently finished a 2 week quest to collect every single episode from the Dragon’s Den set and …
Spacelift: Transporting Trek into the 21st Century featurette
Spacelift: Transporting Trek into the 21st Century is a really interesting and intriguing featurette about how Paramount Studios created the remastered Star Trek series for DVD release. The digitally enhanced three seasons of this legendary series was released circa 2004. I was totally enthralled in how this …
The Virginian: Girl on the Glass Mountain TV Show
From season 5 in 1966, The Virginian: Girl on the Glass Mountain was a fairly entertaining episode. I haven’t liked very many of the fifth season shows, but this one does okay. It revolves around a young woman who gets married and wants everything to be just …
The 64th Annual Tony Awards TV Show
For me, The 64th Annual Tony Awards were not as wonderful as some reviewers I’ve read have made them out to be. I wasn’t enamored by Sean Hayes as they were. Perhaps it’s my tradition. It’s nothing against Hayes, but I wasn’t a fan of Will …
Beast Wars - Dark Voyage
Beast Wars - Dark Voyage is a very enjoyable episode that is quite unlike any other episode in the series. In this episode, four of the Maximals are blinded after a Predicon attack strikes a cache of energon. The blinded Maximals must then attempt to make their way back …
Ghost Hunters: Ghostly Conversation
I was watching Ghost Hunters last night and got to see a more recent episode I haven’t seen before; Ghostly Conversation.
This one was somewhat interesting because they got to visit a really fancy hotel that was supposedly haunted by the princess that once owned it and frequented it; likely …
Red Dwarf TV show
Even after well over a decade since it was last on our screens, apart from a rather badly conceived “Back to Earth” special shown in 2009, Red Dwarf remains - at least as far as I am concerned - the greatest of all science fiction sitcoms. The BBC stuck …
M*A*S*H: Dear Sis
Father Mulcahy (William Christopher) writes a letter to his sister, the sister, in M*A*S*H: Dear Sis. This is actually the third straight episode to give a huge focus on Mulcahy. This character began as a minor presence in season one and has slowly built up to being …
Outlaw: In Re: Curtis Farwell TV Show
In Re: Curtis Farwell was the fourth episode of Outlaw, a show that has sadly been halted in production after three airings. It hasn’t been canceled as yet, NBC opting to air the five other shows, of which In Re: Curtis Farwell is one, that have already been …
Law and Order: CI Season 1, Episode 10
The Major Case division seems to deal with an awful lot of wealthy people in Manhattan and this episode is no exception. The episode starts with an older man sitting in a wheelchair. He watches as his younger wife gets dressed in a low cut dress before heading out …
Gilligan’s Island: Where There’s a Will
I was watching an episode of Gilligan’s Island the other day, Where There’s a Will, that proved to be pretty funny.
Mr. Howell decides to re-write his will to include each of the castaways. Shortly after, things begin to happen to make him think they are all trying to kill …
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Ensign Ro
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Ensign Ro is an episode that I enjoy, although it is an episode that I also have some complaints about. For one, I do wish that the writers would have explained either in this episode or a future episode just what happened on …
The Twilight Zone: In His Image TV Show
The Twilight Zone: In His Image is just one of those weird outings for this series that I just have to accept. It’s not shown that often I don’t think because it’s not as fresh in my mind as most episodes of The Twilight Zone are. I’ve …
Stargate SG-1: New Order Part 1
The eight season of Stargate SG-1 brings about a couple of changes, the most notable of which is that Don S. Davis is no longer on the show as General Hammond. What’s more, we don’t even get a goodbye scene, just a mention that he’s accepted a new …
Glee - Theatricality
And so Glee’s descent into the real world continues.
With its revolving plot lines and hit or miss ‘themes’. the once magical “Glee” has become a what was once cool, TV show. Following in the footsteps of shows like Lost, Glee seems to be a victim of its own …
Those Scurvy Rascals
British series cartoon animation titled Those Scurvy Rascals is something that I always am able to catch in Kids Central Channel, in my country. It is so darn funny and these pirates are really getting on my funny nerves. My nieces and nephews all love this cartoon as …
Stargate SG-1: Resurrection
The leftover remnants of Michael Shanks’ original story idea show up in this seventh season episode. Stargate SG-1: Resurrection is actually a bit of Hannibal Lecter meets the NID. It’s just not the type of story one would imagine Shanks writing, and it’s really not. It’s …
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: Seven Keys to Singapore: Part 1
Bring ‘Em Back Alive was a story based very loosely on big game hunter, Frank Buck. The goal was not to kill the prey, but to bring ‘em back alive, to zoos and such. The show starred Bruce Boxleitner, Cindy Morgan, Clyde Kusatsu, and Ron Neal.
My impressions …
