Futurama TV Episode: Fear of a Bot Planet
Well, so far, I have liked most of the Futurama episodes I have been watching with my daughter over the past couple of days. But, the season 1 episode Fear of a Bot Planet was actually kind of weak compared to most of the others.
The problem with this episode …

South Park: Margereen
This episode is one of the few truly good newer episodes, as it involves many different characters, all acting the way a bunch of nine year olds should probably act. Too often, the writers of South Park treat their characters as though they are grown, and while this may …
Seinfeld: The Sponge
OK, sometimes the show Seinfeld takes a joke a bit too far to the point where it is still funny but also very unrealistic. The episode “The Sponge” is one of those.
The main plot is the episode focuses on the discontinuance of the Today Sponge, apparently Elaine’s favorite form …
MacGyver: To Be a Man
There’s some beautiful scenery in the To Be a Man episode of MacGyver from the first season. It actually reminds me a bit of a western. I can see John Wayne riding along the places where Mac is trying to escape from the bad guys.
In MacGyver: To …
John Adams: Unnecessary War TV Show
The sixth of seventh episodes, Unnecessary War continues the mini-series, John Adams, which aired on HBO in April 2008. It’s a complex and involved story of a patriot who is iconic, but who was just a human being full of strength and fallacy. We see the weaker …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Three Sons
When watching Have Gun - Will Travel: Three Sons, I had to chuckle. The story revolves around an old man who some want to have declared insane and put away. He lives by himself with an owl named Jasper. The part that made me laugh is …
Tom&Jerry - Episode:- The Invisible Mouse
I like to watch cartoons and one of the oldest cartoons around has got to be Tom and Jerry. I remember watching these episodes since I was a kid. I just saw an episode of Tom and Jerry and it is called “The Invisible Mouse.”
This episode starts off almost …
Stargate SG-1: Birthright
Stargate SG-1: Birthright is an intriguing episode from season seven. It’s the introduction of a female Jaffa named Ishta, wonderfully portrayed by Jolene Blalock. She’s the best pairing with Teal’c since the actresses who played his wife on the series.
Blalock and the other women who are part …

Wagon Train: The Story of Cain
Wagon Train: The Story of Cain is one of a handful of stories that I remembered for years after seeing it. So many scenes from this episode were stamped into my brain. It was just so memorable that I couldn’t wait to see it again once this …
Naruto Episode 13 Subbed
Despite how promising the previous episode’s ending cliffhanger seemed, episode thirteen came and went without seeing an ounce of the Kakashi versus Zabuza fight. However, that is not to say that this episode was without action. Quite the contrary if truth be told. This episode revolved mainly around two …
The Virginian: The Executioners
When The Virginian aired originally, I just wasn’t a fan. It was a ninety minute show, in color, and starred Lee J Cobb, Doug McClure, Gary Clarke, James Drury, and Roberta Shore. Honestly, the shore bored me. I tried watching it, but I wasn’t attracted to …
Highway Patrol: Explosives TV Show
The 35th show Highway Patrol from Season 3 was called Explosives and aired in June 1958. While it had action and drama, it also featured poor writing in my view, and maybe even more direction since I would think the director would have some power to make what …

Have Gun - Will Travel: Quiet Night in Town Part 2 II TV Show

Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Cunningham Heritage TV Show
I’ve never seen the Sherlock Holmes TV series that starred Ronald Howard before, so this is very new to me. I have seen several different actors in the role of the famous London detective, but none has ever topped Basil Rathbone. From the first episode of this …
Wagon Train: The Myra Marshall Story
This show, Wagon Train: The Myra Marshall Story, isn’t a huge favorite, but it’s still a good one. One of the neat things about the episode is that it sets up the viewer to think one thing, when it’s really something else. Back when this show aired …

Logitech Harmony 300 Universal Remote
I recently purchased a Logitech Harmony 300 four function universal remote from Best Buy for 39.99. The Remote was a great buy.
I have owned universal remotes before, and I’ve often had trouble with the button configuration and programming. The Harmony 300 was simple, easy and effective. It is very …
The Last Man on Earth, TV show
When I heard the name, without knowing anything else about it, I thought this show was gonna be a bit like “I Am Legend,” full of drama, action, the end of the world, and just one man in a planet full of zombies. Wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong. It’s actually the …
“Raising Hope” Tv Show Blue Dots Episode # 8
It is really hard to describe how much I love this show. Take all taboo subjects and put them in a hilarious episode and you come close to describing this show. This episode in particular was super funny because it was taboo.
Jimmy’s mom, Victoria who is Hope’s …

Merlin Season 2, Episode 11
I am a huge fan of this TV series. Mind you, it is a British production, and I think that BBC airs it in Britain, although cable providers here in Canada do have access and rights to the program.
Merlin starts on a simple premise. If you love …
Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: Sacred Trust
Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: Sacred Trust is episode 4 of the first season. I loved this continuation series, a show that moved the 70’s hit Kung Fu forward a few generations. David Carradine and Chris Potter starred. Since this was so early on, they were …

WHen I was younger and still had not graduated high school, my younger brother would watch cartoons on Saturday mornings and after a while one of those cartoons I noticed was a show named “Butt Ugly Martians”. The first time I heard of it was when I saw him …
The Virginian: The Brazen Bell
The Virginian: The Brazen Bell brought a very interesting portrayal, courtesy of George C. Scott. Royal Dano also did his usual good job. Dano is a character actor who has done more roles than I can count. He’s in at least two shows from season 1 …
Gilligan’s Island -The Producer TV Show
Here we are again graced with another famous guest actor Harold Hecuba, a TV producer, played by Phil Silvers. So of course Ginger is second main actor in this show. I didn’t like the way this Hecuba character treated the castaways, more like they are lower than him instead …
The Real Ghostbusters: Season 1, Episode 29: Beneath These Streets
I was going to bemoan the fact that the episode opens with the Ghostbusters suffering from slow business. After all, that was a plot point in the last episode, but luckily, it gets quickly tossed aside as the plot gets underway.
I do mean underway in one of the …
CSI Season 6 Episode 20- Poppin’ Tags
This was another excellent episode of the show. Although it was a bit strange and not quite believable, it still was a lot of fun. The thing about it, is that there was much sadness and human tragedy involved, but it wasn’t much the focus of this episode all …
Stargate SG-1: The Powers That Be
Stargate SG-1: The Powers That Be continues the forced journey into Vala land, a place I really don’t want to go. The only good thing is that she’s dressed in BDUs, thereby finally covering the part of her body that she so unmercifully thrusts upon viewers way too …
Dog The Bounty Hunter Show
I have a strange and most likely unhealthy fascination with this show. The scenery is definitely part of it (Hawaii is beautiful, and an interesting locale for this sort of show). But it is Dog and his family that make the show so unusual and unique.
Dog is …
The Twilight Zone: The Incredible World of Horace Ford TV Show
The Twilight Zone: The Incredible World of Horace Ford isn’t a show I particularly look for, but it’s okay. The late Pat Hingle stars as the title character of Horace Ford. He’s 38 years old, and he just wants to live a happy life. However, he’s …

This episode of Stargate SG1 delved further into Teal’c’s past. Teal’c had told Stargate command that he did not have any ties to his past life and was free to be a warrior for the Tauri but that was not really true. In Bloodlines, we find out …
Rising Damp
Rising Damp is an ancient British comedy classic, which was aired on television originally between 1974 to 1978. It stars the late Leonard Rossiter as the mean, grumpy landlord, Rigsby, and Rigsby is an absolutely classic comedy character. I used to enjoy watching this as a kid …
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 Hillside Stranglers movie
From 1989, The Hillside Stranglers is almost as frightening as the actual events that this movie is based on. I lived through these events, watching them unfold on television, and it was a scary time. I would have been terrified had I lived in that area where …

The Boondocks
