TV Reviews
M*A*S*H: Last Laugh
M*A*S*H: Last Laugh is just too vaudeville and slapstick for me to enjoy very much. It’s such low quality compared to the excellency of the prior show that it’s even disappointing.
There are a couple of plots going on, neither of which held my interest. The main story centered …
Ghost Hunter’s International: Gate to Hell
The more I watch the show Ghost Hunter’s International, the more I find myself not liking the show all that much. Last night’s episode “Gate to Hell” was another example as to why.
The case itself is interesting. They visited a castle with no strategic importance at all and was …
Code Geass Episode 5 (Anime)
Code Geass Episode 5 has C2 showing up inside Lelouch’s house and he has to figure out what to do with her while Suzaku meets Princes Eupemia.
This was a good episode because it gave Suzaku and Lelouch character development and it was very well done and explores …
Have Gun - Will Travel: Caravan TV Show
From February 1963, Have Gun - Will Travel: Caravan is the 24th outing of this western’s sixth and final season on television. It’s a combination of action, drama, and romance, all crushed into a thirty minute format. The long and short of it is that Paladin hires …
Friends TV show
Most of you probably remember, from 1994 to 2004, the television show, “Friends.” When the show first started off, people involved in the show were not entirely positive that it would stick around beyond the first few episodes. Lisa Kudrow even kept her role on the show …
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, …

One day at the Krusty Krab Squidward and Spongebob are trying to clean up the restaurant so that they can close down for the day. Spongebob answers the ringing phone and politely tells the customer on the other line that they do not offer pizza delivery. Mr. Krabs overhears …
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: Challenges TV show
For the third episode of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, two of the younger McFadden siblings get their chances to be in the dramatic spotlight. Specifically, Challenges deals with Evan wanting to learn from the best bronco buster in the business while Ford struggles with asking a girl …
Modern Marvels from History Channel
Modern Marvels is a great show brought to the viewing public by the History channel.
I like being able to tun this program on and then learn about some of the structures and how they were built. Everything from collapsed and fixed bridges to antenna towers to bullet trains …
Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmem
“Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmem” is a Travel Channel show I started watching close to a year ago. To be honest, there are times when I can barely stand to look at it, but, at the same time, it is just fascinating to me that this man will …
I Love Lucy (TV Series) - Lucy Meets Orson Welles (Episode)
“Lucy Meets Orson Welles” is an episode of “I Love Lucy”. In this episode, Orson Welles makes a special appearance, and with his appearance, comes one of the series’ few “serious” scenes where the lines aren’t being delivered with the intention of getting laughs. This scene plays out when …
Married With Children
Every Monday through Friday night at 9pm and Saturday’s at 7pm on the CW I get the chance to watch Married with Children. It used to come on at 10:30 and 11 pm at night which meant that if I had a long day I was likely to fall …
MacGyver: The Enemy Within
MacGyver: The Enemy Within makes me chuckle, not from the show, but how the same names are used for episodes. Richard Dean Anderson would be in another episode called The Enemy Within about ten years after this one, when he starred in Stargate SG-1.
In this episode of MacGyver, …
Doctor Who: Season 1, Episode 13: Parting of the Ways
The season, as well as Eccleston’s run as the Doctor, wraps up as the Dalek’s plan to wipe out all life on Earth. As one Dalek was a formidable threat, thousands of them are a bit beyond problematic, even Rose points this out early on.
Just as one Dalek …
Star Trek: The Changeling TV Show
Star Trek: The Changeling is another nifty show from the beginnings of this science fiction series. It’s a favorite that I never tire of seeing. Basically, what we have is the Enterprise encountering a highly sophisticated computer that calls itself Nomad. It’s a probe long thought …
Cougartown Season One Episode Two
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I saw the second episode of Cougartown. The first episode was so bad it was like watching a train wreck. What I was hoping though was that the show would fall into place. The awkwardness would disappear and they …
Asia Bagus
A few years back, there was this particular singing talent show, quite like American Idol and it’s on my local TV channel called Asia Bagus. Well, during those times, it was super fun to watch shows like this, and it was quite hard to get a singing talent show …
Melrose Place
When I heard Melrose Place was going to be remade I thought it wouldn’t be very good. The thing about Melrose Place and 90210 was they were perfect in the nineties because they reflected the values of culture being pushed to the limits. Today when television has such …
That Girl: Help Wanted
Help Wanted is one episode of That Girl that I have always remembered. It reminds me of one of my favorite episodes of The Dick Van Dyke Show when Laura fills in for Sally to help Rob, but Rob gets all out of sorts about the situation. …
Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 2
Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 2 begins with Ed and Al confronting Father Cornelo about tricking his cult into believing he can perform miracles because he has a Philosopher’s Stone. They try to take it from him but he attacks them using the Stone. He then turns the people …
Sea Hunt: Pressure Suit TV Show
Sea Hunt: Pressure Suit has some nice underwater photography here and there. I like the clear water scenes like this show had. It’s so crisp and easy to see the fish swimming around. In this episode, Mike Nelson, played by Lloyd Bridges, is helping Professor Auerbach …

From December 1993, The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: Mail Order Brides has Brisco (Bruce Campbell) and Lord Bowler (Julius Carry) coming upon a group of women. Brisco and Bowler are chasing the Swill Brothers again, who have stolen the women’s dowries. The women are mail order …
CAREFUL WHEN YOU BUY ON JEWELRY TV
Jewelry T.V. or ACNtv.com has been on the air for about twelve years, and I have used their station to buy far too much jewelry, but, I love everything I get! What I want to give my review on, is WHEN to buy on this station.
Jewelry t.v. has two …
Cougartown
At first I didn’t like the series Cougartown. Basically it’s about a woman who has recently got a divorce, she is juggling her life which includes a kid, ex husband and friends that don’t get along and then to top it off she starts to date younger men. …
Due South: Dr. Longball
Technically, this is season two of the second evolution of Due South, or you could call it season four of Due South as a totality, or you could do what the DVD set does and just combine the last 13 episodes with these next few and call it the …
M*A*S*H: Operation Friendship
M*A*S*H: Operation Friendship is a show about human reaction and interaction. It revolves around two things that happen that have friends and co-workers altering their natural behavior.

Law and Order: Criminal Intent Season 1, Episode 20
For many of us, the thought that our spouse is cheating is a horrible thought. With the internet though, cheating has become much easier. That is a little fact of life that a poor suburban woman learns in this episode of Law and Order Criminal Intent. When her son …
Bliss (Oh! Oxygen TV series)
Bliss (Oxygen TV series) - I had never heard of this series until I started perusing Netflix and ran across it. I had heard of female erotica before, but didn’t think much of it. I’m not a fan of the Lifetime channel, and thought …
The Hunger TV Series (1997-2000)
Oh how I am so glad that I have found this series. I do understand that it is over a decade old. But “The Hunger” is one of those cable TV series that you either love or hate. Clearly, the fact that it began in the …
Finding Judas
Every time I watch House, there’s a twist or turn that makes me want to tune in the next week.
Last night’s episode “Finding Judas” is the perfect example of that. House’s colleagues are being blackmailed into testifying against him and you can just feel the tension.
I also got a …
Gilligan’s Island: Two on a Raft
I’ve been a bit bored at home lately so I’ve been watching all the episodes of the long-time re-running show Gilligan’s Island from start to finish (not including the various movies after the last episode aired). This included the first aired episode Two on a Raft.
This is a cute …
Dancing with the Stars - 3/23/09
It was another entertaining Dancing with the Stars show as the celebrities danced for the judges and tried their best to avoid being eliminated. There were several highlights for me.
First, Ty Murray has really come a long way. This rodeo rider who began with two left feet …
Friends Episode: Phoebe’s Wedding
I love Friends Episode: Phoebe’s Wedding very much. Every wedding has their own religion and tradition, and I’m not caring about that in this episode. In fact, I am so in awe of Phoebe’s dress, she looks so gorgeous and the ideology that she just wants a nice …
X-Files season one Episode: Squeeze TV show
The X-Files was a well-known TV show that ran in the 1990s. It featured actors David Coveney and Gillian Anderson as special agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. These two agents were assigned to the X-Files — cases that the FBI was investigating that concerned paranormal phenomena …
Happy Birthday Mr. Monk
One thing I’ve noticed in the final season of Monk is the cases are somewhat easy to solve but the episodes still manage to be entertaining from a comedy standpoint.
This was the case last night with Happy Birthday Mr. Monk.
The episode, of course, had Monk celebrating his (50th) birthday. …
Midori no Hibi anime
Hello, I just finished watching this anime. It was Japanese but I had English subtitles on to understand what they were saying. I’m not actively learning Japanese, but by doing this I found that I know a lot of Japanese already and can also understand a lot of it, …
The Unusuals TV show
When I first looked at the description of the TV show Unusuals before deciding if I wanted to watch it, it seemed very promising because of the actors cast in it. These are very experienced and talented actors who have proven themselves over and over again and were sure …
Destination Truth: Chullachaqui/Bermuda Triangle
Wow, that was a great episode of Destination Truth last night.
First, they traveled to South America (again) to hunt down a mythical creature called Chullachaqui; which looks a lot like a goblin. When we first started watching this I told my wife there was no way they would find …
Vampire High Season 1 Episode 17
In this episode, there is something wrong with Dr. Murdoch and Merrill is the only person who is will to find out.

Warehouse 13 season 1 episode 5 Elements
This episode was based on a really great idea; a robe that makes you walk trough the walls. Isn’t that an interesting artefact? I really find it interesting although I am quite sure it would be used for bad purposes if it existed.
Calaudia, the girl who kidnapped Artie in …
Ghost Hunters: Hindenburg Crash Site
I wasn’t really excited about last night’s episode of Ghost Hunters; well, at least not from the paranormal end of things.
I liked the fact they were investigating the famous site of the Hindenburg explosion and there was quite a bit of history about the wreck explained that I didn’t …
Beast Wars - Tangled Web
Beast Wars - Tangled Web features some great character conflict and action, too. In this episode, Blackarachnia, Tarantulas and Quickstrike are sent on a mission by Megatron. That in itself is somewhat perplexing because at this point Megatron should realize that neither Blackarachnia nor Tarantulas can be trusted considering …
The Andromeda Strain
The Andromeda Strain is a television movie that aired on A&E or Arts and Entertainment on Memorial Day of 2008. The movie was advertised for several weeks before it ever turned up on television and they continued to push it as the movie event of the year. Unfortunately I …
That Girl: Among My Souvenirs
That Girl: Among My Souvenirs is a fairly confined show in that there really is just one guest star, Steve Harmon. Harmon played Ensign Pulver in the TV series Mister Roberts and he appeared in one of my favorite Disney films, The One and Only Genuine Original Family …
Avatar: The Last Airbender: Book 2, Episode 19: The Guru
Aang begins his training, playing Luke Skywalker to the guru’s Yoda. This show is known for incorporating Eastern mythology and that really comes into play here as Aang masters each of his chakras. I know, the show’s short on time, but it seems like he masters them …
