Bring ‘Em Back Alive: To Kill a Princess
Bring ‘Em Back Alive: To Kill a Princess is another standard fare for this show that really wanted to be Indiana Jones in Malaya. Instead, it’s zookeeper with an overzealous love life. In fact, what began as one of those nice, undercurrent love stories between stars Bruce …
Supergirl episode 4: Livewire, TV show
From the first 6 episodes aired so far, “Livewire” was my highlight episode because a) Helen Slater as Eliza Danvers (Kara’s adopted mom) makes for a longer appearance b) Dean Cain (seen in flashbacks) c) we finally get more glimpses into Cat Grant’s (Kara’s boss) personality, and d)Eliza and …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Death of a Gunfighter TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Death of a Gunfighter is an odd story. Paladin rides into a New Mexico town intending to take a job for John Sebrey. Sebrey is involved in a deadly feud with Juan Carlos Morrita, who had killed several men. However, Paladin …
Stargate SG-1: Deadman Switch
The third season of Stargate SG-1 gets back on track with a really terrific episode called Deadman Switch. It guest stars Sam Jones (of Flash Gordon fame) as Aris Boch, an alien bounty hunter whose actions and motives keep the team guessing about what is really going on.
The …
Good Day Xtra news show
I am usually an avid watcher of Fox Five news. But now they have a new show called Good Day Xtra. I was surprised to see that this show, which is on from 9am to 10am, features some of the anchors from the regular news program. …

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Hail to the Chief, the 16th show, has the Commander-in-Chief suffering from a serious fall right before he’s suppose to attend a huge NATO event. This means the Seaview has to help get him where he needs to be while ensuring …
Criminal Minds —“ Season One —“ Episode Eleven —“ Blood Hungry
I almost thought this episode was about someone who thought he was a vampire. But someone was breaking into places and hacking people up with tools and then taking internal organs from the victims. Later, the team discovered that whoever was doing it, was actually drinking the blood as …
CSI Las Vegas Season 9 Episode 2
The second episode of the CSI Las Vegas season 9 was a bit of disappointing for me because just after the episode 1 where Warrick was confirmed dead, they no longer have shown anything relating to his death. I was hoping they would somehow be able to show some …
Bones: The Pain in the Heart
Sometimes a clever twist at the end of a season finale is a good thing for a series. Other times, like in the case of the show Bones, it might not be such a great move.
I missed seeing the season finale, The Pain in the Heart, when it first …
Law & Order SVU: Unstable
Last night was the season premiere of Law & Order SVU and it was a bit better than expected; though you can only have so many cases involving rape before you start feeling like you’ve watched the show before.
This one had an unstable cop discovering a rape victim and, …
The Twilight Zone: The Big Tall Wish TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Big Tall Wish is not a favorite episode. For one thing, it moves too slow and for another I just don’t like shows that deal with boxers. In this case, it’s Ivan Dixon appearing as an over the hill boxer who has a …
Spartacus: Gods of the Arena (tv series)
“Spartacus: Gods of the Arena” is the second season of the very popular television series that was airing on Starz. While the season has finished now, I did not have many complaints about it when it was still going on, except for the fact maybe that I thought it …
John Doe: Save as… John Doe TV show
Dominic Purcell continues on in the title role of John Doe in the episode called Save as… John Doe. The opening begins with a blonde woman named Paulette Chambers, who picks up a briefcase of some importance. With her is her German Shepherd dog. This sets …
The Andy Griffith Show: Class Reunion TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Class Reunion, which aired in February 1963, was a rather nostalgic, almost melodramatic episode. It clearly set the end to any notion of Andy and Nurse Peggy, who is now a non-factor.
The show began with Barney Fife (Don Knotts) bringing some things over to …
Best Week Ever
I’m not sure if Best Week Ever is still on televsion, but “Best Week Ever” was a series which would be aired every week on VH1. I didn’t pay much attention to it at first since I realise that many of these programmed on Vh1 tend to be nothing …
The Lazarus Man: Among the Dead
Among the Dead is episode 11 of The Lazarus Man, a western drama of sorts that aired in 1996 and starred Robert Urich in the title role. The show can be a bit confusing from time to time because of the intercutting of flashbacks or visions. There …
Pokemon (TV Show) - Ash Catches a Pokemon (Episode)
“Ash Catches a Pokémon” is the third episode of the “Pokemon” television series and this episode is one that does a good job of showing off the dynamic that quickly begins to build between the Ash and Misty characters. This is the first episode where Ash and Misty actually …

Here Come the Brides: A Crying Need is the second episode of this western family drama. Now that the Bolt Brothers have managed to bring 100 brides from New Bedford to Seattle to marry their lumberjacks, the woman insist that Jason bring a doctor to Seattle. Faced …
Television Show: The Good Night Show
When we ordered Direct TV a couple months ago, we decided to set it up in our oldest daughter’s room too; just so we could watch some more adult programming rather than cartoons all the time.
She recently discovered a show on the television station called Sprout. For the most …
Good Times TV show
Before there was “The Cosby Show” or “House of Payne”, there was “Good Times. This Norman Lear comedy, which continues to live in syndication, was first aired during the 1970’s. It’s about the Evans, an African-American family that lives in the Chicago projects and their struggles to rise …
M*A*S*H: Deal Me Out
Season two of this hit series has some really great episodes, many of which I count among my all time favorites, but M*A*S*H: Deal Me Out isn’t one of them. It’s a show I can take or leave, and I tend to leave it. Nothing really stands …
The Simpsons Season 3 Episode 15 Homer Alone
Marge is a very hardworking housewife always taking care of the family and the house. She begins to get stressed out and then right in the middle of the bridge she halts traffic. The scene is broadcasted on television news. Homer comes and tells her that they will try …
The Tyra Banks Show
I watch the Tyra Banks show on a daily basis. I absolutely love watching talk shows and have been watching talk shows since I was little. I have always had interest in them because I was so intrigued by it and it has been always entertaining to me. I …
Sherlock BBC TV Three Part Drama Series
I just love it when there is something great to watch on a Sunday night as the thought of having to go back to work the next day can be pretty depressing. Last Sunday I happened to catch the beginning of a new three-part series on BBC1 at …
Here Come the Brides: The Crimpers
Here Come the Brides: The Crimpers isn’t really one of my favorite stories of this series, but it’s still a good one and has some memorable moments in it. The story starts with Jeremy Bolt (Bobby Sherman) being drugged and shanghaied while in Port Angeles on business, as …
Ugly Betty Season Finale
Did you guys watch Ugly Betty Season Finale? Well, I did on my local TV channel and it was a good one. Usually, due to time constraints, I sometimes have to skip watching Ugly Betty, without a choice. But I made it a point to watch the …
Eureka Seven 36
In an romantic comedy monologue, we are exposed to what at first seems like an series of superficial stories, only to have us make the shocking assertion that more truth lies within these superficial stories then we are willing to admit to the general public. This is the superficial …
M*A*S*H: Say No More
M*A*S*H: Say No More focuses on a wounded soldier at the 4077th. This brings the soldier’s father to the camp. General Addison Collins, played John Anderson, is gung-ho military. He’s everything that Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) detests, and one thing Hawkeye can’t stand is watching General …

The action continues from the fifth-season opener of MacGyver with The Legend of the Holy Rose Part 2. MacGyver is helping an old friend from his neighborhood search for Diana’s Temple, or the Holy Grail. The two are being chased by the evil Erich Von Leer, played …
Gilligan’s Island TV Episode: Forward March
As I have mentioned before, I’m a big fan of watching Gilligan’s Island re-runs on weekends. But, even though I do enjoy most of the episodes (I’ve seen every one several times), there are some that just aren’t as good as others. One of these is the episode “Forward …
Beast Wars - Nemesis Part One
Beast Wars - Nemesis Part One is the first part of the series finale. For the most part, this episode is entertaining and delivers on its build-up with one of the series’ most chilling cliffhangers: the raising of the Decepticon battleship from deep within the ocean. At the helm: …
Hawaii Five-O: Strangers in Our Own Land
“Look at that. One day we’ll be strangers in our own land.”
That’s actually the last line of this episode of Hawaii Five-O called, appropriately enough, Strangers in Our Own Land. It all has to do with development and protecting the land. It begins with the murder …
SuperNatural
I think the show Supernatural is the best and spookiest TV show. So far nothing has even come close to the greatness of Supernatural. I think the show has great story lines and plots. The story always flows in the show and it keeps you on the edge of …
Roseanne Season Five
The fifth season of Roseanne was one of the last really great seasons of the show. It was before things got too wacky and the show was still grounded in reality a little bit. I thought the only unrealistic thing was when Roseanne, Jackie, and Nancy opened a restaurant …
Wagon Train: The Bleeker Story
This is a non-Robert Fuller episode of Wagon Train, except for a piece of stock footage inserted at the tail end of the show for comedic effect. The man had a great contract, that’s for sure. The Bleeker Story is the story of a family that Duke …
Six Feet Under (Series)
If you’ve neither seen nor heard of this show before, on the surface, it might seem like nothing more than a quirky sitcom. I myself have known people to write it off as a dysfunctional family living in a funeral home, but if they’d taken the time to watch at …
Sea Hunt: Counterfeit TV Show
Sea Hunt: Counterfeit, from February 1960, began with diving expert Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) relaxing on vacation in the Bahamas. I did chuckle on the narration when he mentioned that his chosen activity while on vacation was skin diving, which is, of course, his occupation.
The thing about Nelson’s …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Pancho TV Show
Have Gun - Will Travel: Pancho didn’t impress me, especially with the way it began.
Paladin (Richard Boone) finds a young Mexican buried in the ground. As he starts to dig him out, he is stopped by the man who put the boy there. Here’s what is odd. …
Star Trek: Bem TV Show
From 1974, the animated Star Trek: Bem had the Enterprise hosting a new race, or rather, aboard the Enterprise there was a man considered an honorary observer. His race was new to the Federation. For much of this half-hour show, we really don’t know if this Bem …
The Andy Griffith Show: Man in a Hurry TV Show
The Andy Griffith Show: Man in a Hurry is absolutely one of the must see episodes of this classic comedy series. It’s arguably the best, or at the very least, in the top 10 of all time best outings for this series.
Man in a Hurry is all about …
Stargate SG-1: Beachhead
Sam returns to the SGC in Stargate SG-1: Beachhead. She’s been at Area 51, but finally comes to help out with the latest crisis, by special request of General Landry. The only bad part about this is the vagueness of certain aspects of her private life, which …
Models of the Runway: Burlesque Babies
Last night’s episode of Models of the Runway was OK but it is starting to get a bit on the predictable side again. With so few challenges left, I doubt they will force the designers to change models and I doubt the designers will do so by choice.
That one …
Star Trek: Voyager - Inside Man
“Inside Man” is a season seven episode of “Star Trek: Voyager” that I like a little, but that is about it. What I like about this episode is that two characters from “Star Trek: The Next Generation” appear: Lt. Barclay and Counselor Troi appear and deliver entertaining moments, especially …
Smallville Season 7 episode 12
In this episode of Smallville we get to go into the dark crevices of Lex’s mind, disturbing place that it is. Lex has found Kara and Clark wants to know her location which Lex can’t tell anybody as he is in a coma due to being shot in …
Laramie: A Sound of Bells TV Show
Laramie: A Sound of Bells was the series only Christmas story, and it was a part of its second year on television. I just adore this hour long show that has action and lots of smarm for those of us who enjoy good buddy westerns like this series …
MTV’s Engaged and Underage
I’ve recently been watching Engaged and Underage on MTV. On the show they profile a new couple each week that has gotten engaged, and is currently under the normal age for getting married. I’m not exactly sure what the actual “normal” age is for getting married.
Some of the kids …
WWE Monday night raw TV show
Monday night raw is an awesome show too watch for so many different reasons. The big reason is that this show is full of shocking surprises and great matches. Monday night raw also has something different going on every week and that is have a guess host who is …

CSI New York Season 4 Episode 4
The episode deals with two separate cases, one stranger than the other. In the first one a strange looking man is running naked through the streets until he finally collapses in the CSI offices. He is badly injured and dies shortly after. But …
Sea Hunt: Asylum TV Show
In January 1960, Lloyd Bridges’ hit series, Sea Hunt, began its third season on the air with an episode entitled Asylum. My first thought was ‘oh, no - another spy show’. However, this one was very watchable. The show begins with Mike Nelson (Bridges) in Nassau …
Tom Green
Tom Green is a very funny guy! He has always made me laugh with his show. What I like about him is that he doesn’t care what people think about him or what he says. It’s a lot of fun to see him on TV and movies. I think his …
